DR.. Yoakum and his Pisgah COM
papions base their acts of healing on
James 5 chapter, 14-16:
Is any sick among you? Let
him call for the elders OF the church;
ana let them pray over him, anoint-
ing him with oil in the name of the
Lord.
Island the prayer of faith shall
save the sick, and the Lord shall
raise him up; and if he have com
mi,ted sins, they shall be forgiven
him.
"16-Confess your faults one to
another, and pray one for another,
that We nay be healed. The et-
fectual tervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much.
They also base their faith and
healing acts upon The Acts, 10Th
chapter, verses II and Il:
IL" and God wrought special
miracles by the hands of Paul.
12-"So that from his body were
brought unto the sick handkerchlefS
Or aprons, and the diseases departed
from them, and the evil spirits went
on of them"
Or. Yoakum has with him always
a small bottle of oil, which he. uses
in anoirting in accordance with the
Biblical verse. He also uses hand
kerchiels and aprons, which are
mentioned in The Acts.
