<TITLE>11. Par 40-42</TITLE>L-40 The Holy Spirit was upon the apostles is here tonight, the same Holy Spirit. God takes His man, but never His Spirit. Now, if I told you I had the spirit of--of this famous outlaw, you'd expect me to act like him, to be anointed like him. If I told you I had the spirit of some famous artist, you'd expect me to stretch the canvas across here, and catch those waves of that ocean out there, of that lake, and paint them with the foam on them like some famous artist, if I had his spirit.
And if I confess to have the Spirit of Jesus Christ on us, we should do the things that Jesus did. Jesus said, "He could do nothing but what the Father showed Him."
Now, when the Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses... It wasn't Moses, It was the Angel of God. What was He when He appeared? A Pillar of Fire. Is that right? And He led the children of Israel. And any scholar knows that that was the Angel of the Covenant, which was Christ. Is that right? And He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And as He read the--led the Church back there in the natural body, He's leading us today in the spiritual body.

L-41 And this supernatural Being (which has been a vindicated by pictures and through the American Photographers Association, through the examiners and everything, and hangs tonight in... It's the only time that a supernatural Being was ever taken. We'll introduce that later.) is here with us tonight.
Now, Christians, and friends, I say: I come to you tonight, in Toledo, in the Name of Jesus Christ, representing Him as His humble servant. I have nothing that I can do within myself to help you. But He is here, and able and willing to perform things that'll make you believe in Him and accept Him.
If I speak, and what I say comes not to pass, don't you believe me, for I would be false. But if I testify of something, and our heavenly Father witnesses and vindicates that to be the truth, then you believe Him. Is that fair enough?

L-42 Any man can come here and say this or that. Well, you can say anything you wish to, if you wish to be a false witness. But you saying it doesn't make it so. But when God speaks it, that vindicates it to be so. Now, it's written that the mouth of two or more witnesses, let every word be established. Is that right?
Now, I have spoke to you tonight that our heavenly Father appeared at my birth, and sent me to help you. And I stand tonight as His servant to help you. I... It may not be according to your theological teachings. God usually does things contrary to what, way people have it figured out to be.
Look at those priests. They couldn't believe Jesus come like that, born in a manger. That was altogether... He's always done that. He did in the antediluvian destruction.
And in my opinion, brother clergymen, when Jesus appears the second time, it'll be altogether different than what we got it figured out that it'll be. He hides it from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and will reveal it to babes such as will learn. It's spiritually understood.
Now, may the good Lord bless you. With all my heart, I pray that.
