A Healing Touch
[PREACHER, spoken]
Watch out, everyone! Watch out, demons, the Lord is onto you tonight! Brose eesah vota leeva – gran maysa sayla. Ora seesayla posh, brone base eesais vrone basha. Elohim, elohim! Oh, He's got me speaking in tongues tonight! Glory be to God! Now hold on, he's talking to me. There is a girl from – he's giving me an N; yes, Jesus, a C – from North Carolina who can feel her facial scar beginning to heal. 

[Young Vi screams.]

[PREACHER, spoken]
Is this the girl with the scar? Well come on down here, darling, tell us what's happened. 

[YOUNG VI, spoken]
God is with me, I can feel him!

[PREACHER, spoken]
God is with you. 

[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Yes he is!

[PREACHER, spoken]
Tell the folks at home, where did that scar come from. 

[YOUNG VI, spoken]
I was hit by an axe blade. 

[PREACHER, spoken]
By the blade of an axe. And you've had it how many years now?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Ever since I was 13. 

[PREACHER, spoken]
Since she was 13, friends. And are you ready for a healing touch?

[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Yes!

[PREACHER, spoken]
Are you ready for God's power as it is manifested in my hands?

[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Yes!

[PREACHER, spoken]
Are you ready to be healed?

[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Yes!

[PREACHER, spoken]
Oh Jesus, she believes she needs you! Praise the Lord, for he has seen fit to raise thee up and heal thee of thy scar!

[GOSPEL TRIO]
Raise me up, Lord won't you raise me
[PREACHER, spoken]
Doctors didn't help her. Operations didn't help her. But suddenly she's healed by the power'a God. 

[GOSPEL TRIO]
I am on my way

[PREACHER, spoken]
Turn to the camera and show the people that beautiful smile. Do you realize you are shivering, child?

[GOSPEL TRIO]
I am on my way

[PREACHER, spoken]
Do you feel what's happening to you?

[YOUNG VI, spoken]
I feel like I'm flying!

[PREACHER, spoken]
Because you are filled with the Holy Ghost Spirit of God. And you know there is no distance with prayer. 

[GOSPEL TRIO]
I am on my way

[PREACHER, spoken]
God is here!
[GOSPEL TRIO]
Oh if you want him

[PREACHER, spoken]
God is there!

[GOSPEL TRIO]
Oh if you need him

[PREACHER, spoken]
God is everywhere. 

[GOSPEL TRIO]
Oh won't you raise me up and on my way

[PREACHER, spoken]
And you don't need to leave home for a miracle, if you just match your fingers to ours, on your television screen. Do you feel God's power coming through that screen? Sing with me, sister. 

[PREACHER & YOUNG VI]
Look at what my

[PREACHER & GOSPEL TRIO]
Jesus has done!

[PREACHER, YOUNG VI, VIOLET & GOSPEL TRIO]
He made a dumb man speak
A lame man run

[PREACHER & VIOLET]
Lord Almighty

[VIOLET]
Thank you for your son

[FLICK, spoken]
Violet, you sleeping?

[VIOLET, spoken]
Daydreaming.
