<TITLE>07. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 The maniac at Gadara, his mind was gone. Everything, every hope was gone. He'd lo--left his family. He was a maniac, into the wilderness, tombs, the graveyard, a real devil's hangout, an old dead place like that. All right. They still like them kind of places.
Notice. But he...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] The doctors... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] They'd failed.
Maybe he knowed that God... that the Messiah would come... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] His right mind.
He's still God tonight just the same as He was in that day. Friends, wake up. The hour... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... His gifts, the power, the promise of God stands near tonight to whosoever will, let him come. If it'll work on others, then God testifies of that. And if God testifies of it, it's true. Don't let it pass by you. Take God at His Word. Yes, sir.

L-25 There was a man; his baby had died, his little girl, twelve years old. Jesus was on His road to Jairus to heal his daughter. And the message come that the girl's already dead, "Trouble not the Master."
I can see his countenance fall. My. He thought, "My girl is dead." He joined hisself with the unbelievers. But all the time he wanted to believe Jesus.
There's a many one in this city tonight wants to believe the full Gospel, but they're afraid of their position. That's right. They want it. They're hungry to have enough salvation to holler, "Gloria a Dios" That's right. There's a lot of them like that. But the trouble of it is, they think more of their pride and their dignity than they do of the lovely Christ of God. Oh, my.
But He's here. He's still Christ. And He proved Hisself, that He will give those the Holy Ghost that'll come God's provided way to receive it. Amen. That's right. Now, He will heal those likewise that'll come God's provided way to receive it.

L-26 Now, notice. At the great difference... And these people now as they come along. This little old Jairus, his heart dropped; "The child's dead; trouble not the Master."
I can see those sacred eyes as they moved over, said, "Fear not; only believe." Oh, my. He knew where He was standing. He knew that child would be raised, for Jairus had true faith to come in the midst of all the doubters.
I can see them as they walked back. One of them say, "What'd I tell you about that Divine healer? What'd I tell you about that? He went off down there now and he brought disgrace upon the church, and so forth."
But Jesus moved right on down the line. When He went into the room, He said, "The daughter... The girl is not dead, but sleepeth." They laughed Him to scorn. They still laugh at Him. And He put them out. And today, those who laugh at God's eternal power, being omnipotent, they're put out of the Kingdom. All right.

L-27 Then when they come to the place, He walked in, put them all out but Peter, James, and John, took the...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... deliver... For, look, all of everything there was gone. The human had pulled away. He knowed their faith. But He was possessed. Get it! It was powers. Took from this mortal body of His, out into the spirit land, and called back the spirit of that girl, that had been dead for hours. Out into that land...
I'm thankful tonight to be acquainted with that same One Who can call the spirits from out of the spirit land back into the life.
And He was standing there, Lazarus' grave. All hopes was gone. Lazarus had been dead four days and was in the grave, stinking. Look at it...?... They heard that Jesus... They went out...?... I believe...?... Born the virgin birth...?... Almighty God...?...
