<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>53-0607E, A Testimony, Roberts Park Amphitheater, Connersville, IN, no tape
L-1 Good evening, friends. Very happy to be back again tonight in the service of the King, representing our Lord Jesus Christ and His undying love, unfailing power, unlimited grace, the First, the Last; He that Was, which Is, and shall Come; the Root and Offspring of David; and the Morning Star; the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the valley. Just ever you--thing you could say, that's Him and everything, it being right. And in Him we are complete, aren't we? We are complete in Christ Jesus.
Now, this af--this afternoon, I was speaking to you. So tonight, it's service of healing for the sick. It was my time to preach the Gospel this afternoon. It's God's turn tonight to confirm whether I told the truth or not. If anyone preaches, or says, or makes a claim... A man can make a claim of anything, but that doesn't exactly mean it's so until God speaks and He says it's so. Then when God says it's so, that makes it the truth. See? That's the truth then.
In Hebrews 11:2, it said God testifies of His gifts. And that's true. I believe that, don't you? He does; He testifies of His gift.

L-2 Now, tonight, I want to... Instead of preaching, I want to just give a testimony, read some Scripture, and give a testimony, and call the prayer line. I know many of you here, and you go to work in the morning... I was a little late getting in, and Billy was a little late getting up there after me. And frankly, I met him on the road coming. I just drove in out there, and we swapped cars and come right down to the place. And I heared them singing as I come across the hill, "Only Believe." And so I was just a little late to begin with.
And now, remember, tomorrow afternoon service... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] ... of the apostles... Always want to think it to be, "The Acts of the Holy Spirit in the apostles," for it was the Holy Spirit in the apostles setting forth an example through all the ages. What the Holy Spirit was then, It is now. And what the Holy Spirit did to that church, It does to this church. As this church will be just as submissive to It as that church was, it'll bring it just the same results. You believe that? It will. Just your submission to Christ...

L-3 Now, in the great Divine trinity of God, in the day... It's all the One God, God in a trinity: the Fatherhood, the Sonship, and the Holy Spirit dispensation. Now, if a man rejected God in the days of Fatherhood, under Moses and the law, well, he was put to death, if he disobeys God, broke His command. When Jesus came, He said, "Now, whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, will never be forgiven him in the world, this world or the one to come. So to reject the Holy Spirit tonight is more serious than to reject God the Father in the days of Moses or to reject Jesus Christ when He was here on earth walking in flesh.
And as the people in them days did not understand about God the Father, the people thought the Israelites were queer; they made the blood on the doors and so forth. They thought they were an odd sort of people. And then, they set up a religion then and made it a universal religion. And then the next thing came in was Jesus. When He come, He just tore all the bottom out from under it. And they thought He was an impostor, but He was exactly what the Scripture said He would be. But they rejected Him... The church rejected Him. Well now, then after the going away of Jesus, the Holy Spirit come. And now, they've set up a basis on Jesus and rejecting the Holy Spirit just exactly the same as they've always did. See?
We want to get to that this week, God willing, so you'll be sure to thoroughly understand what this all is about.
