LR: “on the sick, and they shall recover.” Now wait a minute. God said, “They shall lay elbows on the sick and they shall recover, then we’d better start stretching out our elbows. If He said lay toes on the sick and they shall recover, then, friend, according to the Word of God, in order to be in obedience to the Word of God, we’d better stretch out whatever the Word of God says. He said that we would do even greater works than Jesus did because He went to the Father. All right, what did Jesus do? He laid hands on the sick.
RR: What did the disciples do? They laid hands.
LR: Laid hands on the sick.
RR: What are we called to do? Lay hands.
LR: The Bible says they actually stretched forth their hand to heal, stretched for their hand to heal.
RR: And, Lindsay, it says that they brought them, they brought their sick into the streets. They brought their sick. What has been amazing to me is how many people have brought their sick to the television that they might touch my hands and believe God for a miracle. Now I’ve got no healing power, but Jesus does.
LR: But do you know why it works?
RR: And there’s a transfer of healing power from the Spirit of God through my hands into your life.
LR: Do you know why? The “o” word. You’re obedient. God said that we were to be like Him. He said we were to do what Jesus did. He said we were to be do you know what a Christian means? It means to be a little Christ. It means we’re to be Christ-like. We’re to do it the way Christ did it. He said when we do it the way He did it; we’ll do greater works than He did. You mean you’re better than God? No, I didn’t say that.
RR: No, He said it.
LR: I said I am obedient to what the word of God says, and He gave us a perfect formula that will work, if we work with the formula.
RR: Hallelujah!
LR: He said they stretched forth their hand to heal. And if we’ll do it according to the formula you know, you kept saying, “Lindsay, what is the deal? Every time I stretch out my hand, such anointing comes?”
RR: And my hands get so hot.
LR: It’s simply that’s the way God wrote it in the Book. If He said stretch forth your ear, then, friend, you’d better learn to stretch out your ear. Because if that’s what He said to do, He made it work. God said He watches over His Word to perform it. Whatever He says in His Word, He will perform it. He will honor it. He’ll watch over it to perform it.
