<TITLE>05. Par 18-22</TITLE>L-18 There came someone to Him one time. Nathanael went and got his brother. That's just where this Angel referred to. Or--or, Philip went and got Nathanael. And when he came, Jesus said, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile."
He said, "Whence knowest Thou me, Rabbi?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree."
And watch his heart. Now, he could've backed off and said, "There's some kind of a trick to this." He would've never received the blessing that he did. But he said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, the King of Israel." And he fell down to worship Him, and he gave God praise. His heart was ready to receive after Jesus had vindicated Himself to him, that He was what He claimed to be.

L-19 Then a woman, one time came to Him at the well. And He talked to her a little while to contact her spirit. And He spoke to her, saying, "Go get your husband."
She said, "I have none."
He said, "You've said well; you had five, and the one you have now is not your husband."
Said, "I perceive that You're a prophet," and so forth. As she went and told her people, "Come, see a Man Who told me everything I ever done." She was little excited, He never told her all things, but He knew if... Now watch this. She knew if Jesus knew that, He knew all things. See? That's right. He knew all things. If He knew that, God could reveal to Him.

L-20 Now if you'll notice, my dear Christian friend, fellow citizen of the Kingdom of God, that Jesus testified while on earth, that He did nothing in Himself, that He only did, what the Father showed Him, by vision to do. Is that true? That's right. See? Only by what the Father showed Him. See? He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself; but what the Father showeth Him, that doeth the Son."
Did you notice when Lazarus had died? Jesus... They sent for Him to come pray for Lazarus. He didn't come; He just went on. Wonder why? He had a vision that Lazarus had to die. So when He went on, if you'll notice the Scriptures close: He goes on. They sent again. He never came. And on... Then after He... He said after while, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth." Or he's dead; He told them in plain words. And so He said, "But for your sake, I'm glad I wasn't there. But I go wake him."

L-21 Now, according to His words of Saint John 5:19, the Father had already showed Him what was going to take place, because He said, "The Son can do nothing but what the Father shows Him." Is that right? And at the grave, watch His prayer. He said, "Take ye away the stone."
But if he's going to raise, why take away the stone? The women had something to do. You see? He said, "Take away the stone."
And He said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou has already heard Me. But I said it for these who stand around."Just a routine prayer, and always--just to let you know. Then He called Lazarus from the--from the dead.

L-22 Now, that same... And in our Master doing those things, and making those predictions, and saying only what the Father showed Him. Only... He knew where two mules was tied one time. He knew where there was an upper room to be made ready and a man would be packing a pitcher.
Well, I've been accused of being a spiritualist. I've been accused of being a medium. And somebody told me the other day that... said, "Do you belong to..." Was there ever a group of people owned this church called "I AM," or something like that?
Somebody asked me if I AM."
I said, "No, He IS, and I'm His servant." I said...
He said, "Aren't you holding a meeting up there were the I AM's was?"
I said, "I AM is still there." I AM, that's our Lord Jesus, our--our God, His Father. "I AM THAT I AM."
