<TITLE>15. Par 170-180</TITLE>L-170 Then back there, and Jesus said, "As Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up." And if shining that light of God back there in a type, looking upon a brass serpent which was a symbol...

L-171 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] He said, "I have to keep my word. You have to die." The poor fellow was shaky; He said, "What can I do to you before I kill you?"
Said, "A glass of water."
So went and got the glass of water. And he was holding it in his hand, and trembling like that; he couldn't hold it. And he said, "Now, wait a minute, straighten up." He said, "I'm not going to kill you or take your life until you drink that water." And the slave throwed it on the ground. What's he going to do? If he's a just man, if he'll keep his word... If he don't keep his word he's not a just man. He has to set him free, no matter what the laws of the land said.
And if Jesus said, "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it," He's got to keep it; He's just. Atonement or no atonement, that's His Word.

L-174 A boy went away not long ago to a certain seminary to learn a whole lot of stuff he oughtn't to have learned. So his old mother got sick. One of her neighbors belonged to a Full Gospel church; they brought the pastor home. Said, "Let me bring the pastor up here and pray for you." Said, "He's a good, righteous man, and he believes in God," said, "let him come pray for you."
So she said, "All right."
The doctor couldn't do nothing for her, so the young man come up there, the pastor, and prayed for the elderly woman, and laid his hands on her according to James, or according to Mark 16, "They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." He come up and laid his hands upon the--the woman. A few days, she was up and going about her work, was well.

L-176 When her son returned home from the college, why, he was so happy, you know, and he said he seen his mother so happy, said, "How you been getting along, mother?"
Said, "Just fine." Said, "Oh, son, I forgot to tell you something." Said, "While you was away these four years," said, "I got sick. And you know Mrs. So-and-so over here belongs to that Full Gospel church?" Said, "Her pastor come up and laid hands on me according to Mark 16, and I got well." Said, "The doctors couldn't do nothing for me when I had that sick spell." Said, "That's how I got well."
He said, "Well, mother, I want to inform you something." Said, "'Course away to college we learn this." Said, "The last nine verses of Mark 16 isn't inspired." Said, "That was put in there by the Vatican." Said, "There's no history that says that that Word in there is inspired."
And the little woman said, "Praise God. Praise God."
He said, "What's the matter with you, mother?"
She said, "If God could heal me with Words that isn't inspired, what could He do with that that is inspired?"...?... There you are. "If He could do that with uninspired Word, what would He do with that that is inspired?"

L-180 When there's six hundred and something promises directly to the Church in the last days, that these things will take place, and His power is just the same, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe you receive them. If you abide in Me and My Word in you, ask what you will and it'll be done unto you. The things that I do shall you also; greater than this, when I go to My Father. Lo, I'm with you always, even unto the end of the world. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My Name, and agree upon anything and ask, they shall receive it."
Forget about it, brother. It's God's will to do it. Yes, sir. It's only Satan robbing you. Believe Him.
