<TITLE>04. Par 12-15</TITLE>L-12 I want to read some Scriptures for about a ten minute talk. Then we'll try to call a prayer line. I don't know how we're going to do it, but--but we're going to try it, if the Lord willing. Now, if you want to turn your air conditioner on for a few moments, it's getting pretty warm, why, you go right ahead. That's all right.
I want to read some Scripture out of Saint John the 3rd chapter. And I will make it quick so that we can go right into the line. Now, first verse beginning at the 8th, or 9th verse of the 3rd chapter.
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Verily, I say unto you, We speak that what we know, testify of that what we see; and you receive not our witness.
If I've told you earthly things, and you've not believed, how shall you believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
And no man ascended up to heaven, but he that come down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

L-13 If I'd put some... A little what I would call a text, I've been speaking this week upon: Who was Jesus? And what type of a ministry did He have? What did the world think about Him? How did they receive Him? And then comparing His ministry with today, and see if it's the same yesterday, today, and forever. With all bases on--on Hebrews 13:12: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, tonight, I will speak "God's Provided Way," for a subject.
We've often thought of how, if we were looking for Jesus, what we would have to look for. If He promised He'd be with us to the end of the world, then surely, though our faith failed, yet He's here. If our faith failed, yet He is faithful: He cannot disown Himself. He's here. And if I...

L-14 What I think, friends, that--that what we fail is our faith fails to believe that we take Him as something way off somewhere else, when He's right here with us. He's just as real in this room tonight as this light is. Darkness can't come in this room, as long as this light's here, no matter how dark it is outside, it'll never get so dark but what this light overcome the darkness. Is that right? No matter how much dark tries to press through that window, as long as that light's there, light is more powerful than darkness.
And when faith comes in, no matter how much unbelief stands around, the light is greater than the darkness. And I believe God is just as real in this room tonight, as that light is, as the light on my hand, and just as close as the light is on my hands.

L-15 Now, if we see Him in His earthly ministry... He went about, He didn't claim to be a great person. He didn't claim to be a healer. I hear so much slam that the devil has give upon people who pray for the sick, call them "divine healers." Well, because a man preaches Divine healing, doesn't make him no Divine healer. If it does, it makes the man who preaches salvation a Divine Saviour. Would you think it would be nice to call a preacher, "There's my Divine Saviour, going there." Well, certainly you wouldn't want to do that. Well, that's just a Scriptural as saying, "There goes a divine healer." A man preaching Divine healing, doesn't make him a healer, no more than it makes a man a Saviour. A minister can't save you. He can tell you the Word and point you to Christ, and Christ can't save you, what He's already done. He saved you nineteen hundred years ago. You just have to accept it. Well, then He... Man can't heal you, he can only point you to Christ, Who healed you nineteen hundred years ago, when He died.
