54-0810 Prayer Line

"We may be green, but we're flexible, brother. Hallelujah. We may not be Doctors of Divinity and have all the theology, but we're green enough to bend to the power of God and rejoice." In this stirring evening prayer line service at the Shriner Temple in Los Angeles, California, the speaker transitions from the afternoon message to a powerful demonstration of the resurrected Christ. Centered on God's willingness to vindicate His gifts and prove His word to newcomers, the meeting challenges the audience to move past cold skepticism, quiet their hearts, and submit entirely to the moving of the Holy Ghost. Sermon Highlights *The Discernment of Hearts and Nationalities:* Acknowledging that he is a stranger to everyone in the audience except for a prominent Christian businessman, the speaker relies strictly on the Holy Spirit to bridge cultural and geographic distances. Speaking to a Spanish lady on the platform, he notes that while he is Irish, the Holy Spirit operates exactly as Jesus did with the Samaritan woman at the well—revealing her profound breathing complications, her status as a long-time widow, and her deep distress regarding her unsaved son and brothers. *Exposing Medical Histories and Distance Afflictions:* As the anointing intensifies, the speaker reveals precise medical data to a praying woman who has been longing for deliverance. He pinpoints her severe heart blockage and details an unusual surgical history where a kidney was extracted through her back, leaving her remaining kidney floating. Furthermore, he tells her about her hospitalized sister in California battling hardening of the arteries for two years, instructing her to apply a handkerchief for her recovery. *Supernatural Vindication on the Streets and Benches:* The speaker calls out hidden scenarios from the audience, detailing how a Spanish woman had been standing on the street earlier that day when a white woman told her about the meeting and brought her to the temple. Her severe kidney trouble and freezing lower limbs are instantly addressed. Nearby, a man sitting with his foot resting on a box is told to leave his crutch behind, while his neighbor's clinical statement regarding prostate trouble—stored inside his pocketbook—is supernaturally exposed. *The Call to Paducah and San Francisco:* In a climactic display of revelation, a woman named Mary from 4 Hillside Lane in Rolling Hills, California, is called out by name and address. The speaker details her colitis, bad blood, and her Presbyterian minister father, Reverend Tucker, who is miles away suffering from asthma and liver issues in the hilly, wooded region of Paducah, Kentucky, near the Ohio River. Immediately after, a mother is told to phone her backslidden son in San Francisco, exposing that he is actively running from a divine call to the ministry. *Defeating the Spirit of Infirmity:* Rebuking internal thoughts from the congregation that mistake these spiritual gifts for mental telepathy or mind-reading, the speaker declares that the devil can never heal. He commands the "devil called cancer" to leave a dying woman, tells a sufferer of stomach trouble to go home and enjoy her supper, and addresses a 50-to-60-year-old woman in a red dress who was instantly delivered from a stroke that paralyzed her side. The line concludes with a powerful altar call urging backsliders to repent and seekers to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Key Quote "If He knows what was, He surely knows what is. You'll never be bothered with that no more. You're well. God bless you."

Operating under extreme physical weakness, the speaker explicitly emphasizes that these demonstrations are not a stage show but are intended to prove to modern skeptics that Jesus has raised from the dead and remains unchanged. The service highlights the tension between public metropolitan skepticism and raw corporate faith, using explicit street details, residential addresses, and family backgrounds to break down institutional formality.
