<TITLE>11. Par 28-30</TITLE>L-28 You got them all there, Paul? [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Reverent now. Now I want you to do this for me. How many has been in the meetings before, let's see your hands? [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... here on earth. The things that Jesus would do, when He was here on earth, He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works, it's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the works." Is that right? And then in Saint John 19--or Saint John 5. When He passed by the gate, Bethesda, the pool, there were great multitudes of lame, halt, blind, withered people. Is that right, Christians? And He never healed a one of them, yet full of love and compassion. Went over to a man laying on a pallet, and healed him. The Jews questioned Him. Why, listen what Jesus said now: Saint John 5:19, Scripture: "Verily, verily, I say unto you; The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise. For the Father worketh; I worketh hitherto." In other words, He said this: "I can't do nothing 'till God shows Me what to do, then I do that. Nothing else I can do." Is that Scripture? All right.
Then Jesus Christ never performed one miracle until God told Him to do it, till he had a vision, God telling Him. He said, "The Father showeth the Son. Whatsoever things the Son sees the Father doing ('sees' the Father 'doing,' present tense), then He goes, does it just like the Father said." Now, He said, "A little while and the world will see Me no more (The world's the unbeliever.)--the world see Me no more, yet ye will see Me, for I will be with you, even to the end of the world." That's Connersville, Indiana, everywhere else.

L-29 Now, if He rose from the dead, His Spirit, God Himself in the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ moving among the people... And He set some in the church: preachers, teachers, prophets, and so forth. Is that right? For what purpose? For the man to glorify himself? For the edification of the church, to bring the church to a living faith in Christ. He raised, came up for that purpose. Now, if Jesus' Words are true, and Paul in Hebrews 13:8 said, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever," then if He said, "The world wouldn't see Him, but the believer would, and He'd be with them..." He said, "Now, the things that I do, you shall do also." Now, He knew their thoughts. Is that right? He--He--He know what they were thinking about. He perceived their thoughts. When the Father showed Him a vision where a fish had a coin in it's mouth, where there was...

L-30 Now, there was some blind boys followed Him one day out in the street; they said, "Have mercy on us, Lord. Have mercy," He just ignored them and walked on. He went into the house, and they brought the blind boys to Him. And He turned around and touched them, said, "According to your faith (no vision), according to your faith be it unto you. As thou has believed, so shall it be." Is that right? The woman touched the hem of His garment, He said, "Thy faith has healed thee" See?
Now, you look at Him, yonder at Calvary tonight, the Ensign, and your faith in His finished works is what healed you. Now, His Spirit is here, Who, you couldn't hide your life from Him; but He can't heal you, for He's already did that. When He lifted up the Ensign, He redeemed you from your sickness; He redeemed you from your sin. That seems to be coming back to me tonight somehow. Somebody here doubting that; I'll find you in a few minutes. Huh. Uh-huh. All right.
