<TITLE>09. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 Remember... As I was speaking to Doctor Bosworth a few moments ago about Saint John 5:19, where He said there that... When He healed the man at the pool, and He went up and the Jews were testing Him, He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son doeth nothing in Himself; but what He sees the Father doing, that doeth He also." See?
Now, notice. He passed by that pool there where there was probably ten thousand people laying. Now, when the Bible said, "Great multitudes," that meant, "many people," didn't it. Maybe ten thousand people there of lame, blind, halt, and all kinds of people laying there: deaf, dumb, lunatics. And He went to a man that'd had an infirmity for twenty-eight years. And He said, "Sir, would you be made whole?"
And he said, "I have no one to put me in the water. And when I'm going to the water..." See, he could walk. "When I'm going to the water, somebody a little better off than I am steps down before me."
He said, "Take up your bed and go into your house." Now, the man never questioned Him. He just obeyed. And obedience is better than sacrifice. Is that right?
He never said, "Well, Who are You to tell me that?" He just obeyed what he was told to do, picked up his bed...

L-32 Now, why didn't He go to some of the blind, and the lame, and the halt? Is because... Now, He doesn't... He didn't look any different from the other men. He didn't dress any different from any other man. Now, that's one... Anybody. You can... You can... Ministers and so forth, they can dress any way they want to.
Someone was asking here a few days ago... Many of you has heard of Abaick. You know, they come over here that time. Well, we've been trying to meet each other for some time. We met a few days ago in Florida, and put our pictures together and said, "...?... American...?... consults Divine healing."

L-33 Anyhow, fellow, why he--he--He was a man that had long beard, and long hair. So what that's his own opinion. That's--that's perfectly all right. If you want to dress that way or be that way, that's all right. But that doesn't make you "Yes" or "No." It's the condition of your heart before God what makes you what you are. That's right.
Now, when He passed through, He was just Jesus; He was just a normal dressed man. And He went through the crowd and He seen that man, not nothing to be conspicuous to look at. He just said, "Would you be made whole?"
He said, "I have no one to put me in the water."
Said, "Take up your bed and walk." And he did.
And then when He was questioned, then He told them that the Son of man could do nothing except what He seen the Father doing before.

L-34 Now, here He come into... to Canaan again, and a certain nobleman's boy was sick. Now, look, 47th verse:
 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto Him, and besought Him, that He would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
Now, notice. "When he heard..." Notice that 3rd--3rd verse there in the 47th verse. "When he heard Jesus was come back into the country," where He had performed a miracle, "he come to Him for his son, for his son was near death."
Get it? He knew He could do it, for He'd already performed one miracle there. Well, if He performed one miracle, would cause that nobleman to believe that His Word would heal his son, then why can't we believe when He performs hundreds of miracles here before us. You see what I mean?
Notice. How many was here the morning that that woman passed away there on the... This Mrs. Hattie Waldrop, here to see... Is that lady here in the... Is Mrs. Hattie in here tonight? Mrs. Waldrop? Well, here she is right here. That passed out here with a cancer of the heart, colon, and liver... She's a living, isn't she? My, very much, aren't you, sister. There you are. Her doctor's got the X-Rays here and so forth.
