<TITLE>03. Par 7-9</TITLE>L-7 Now, I want to give testimony. And as I've said, "The theme of my revivals is this: is declaring to the world (And I'm on my third trip around the world.), that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That through every critic, and every type of criticism that I know, that Satan has led me, with these statements that I'm giving, of Jesus Christ, he has done everything that I know could be done, speaking of, to try to overthrow it; but every time God has brought it out triumph and won a victory: every time. Check it, tested, by government agents... And everywhere, through nations, every time... I have a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan who follows and tries to buffet or to beset. But he's been defeated in every case by the Holy Spirit, and God come out triumph, winning hundreds and thousands to Christ in the time.

L-8 Now, Jesus said, "If I testify of Myself, My testimony's not true, but I testify of another." So, if any man comes, said, "Now, I am the healer." Now, He's testifying of himself, and his testimony's not true for there's one Healer; that's God. And there's one Mediator between God and man, and that's the Man, Jesus Christ. And He was the One Who died to bring the relationship that was once lost between God and man, back again. And He is our provided Sacrifice for our sickness, our salvation. "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed."
Now, Jesus, Himself, when He was here... I quote this again so people will surely understand. Jesus was an ordinary Man that walked out here on the street like you meet daily. He was born a peasant, wrapped in swaddling's cloth, laid in a manger.

L-9 I think of Simeon, back there in the temple: old man, an old sage, had been told by the Holy Spirit that he wasn't going to see death until he seen the Lord's Christ. Luke the 2nd chapter, you read the article. And he wasn't afraid to go around, tell the people that he was going to see the Christ, because the Holy Spirit told him so. So there's no two Holy Spirits; there's only one. So the same Holy Spirit that was with Simeon, is the same Holy Spirit here tonight.
So now watch, an old man eighty or better years old, old sage, long white hair and beard, very renowned among the people, a teacher, a master in Israel, had to be blameless as touching the law... And the Holy Spirit told him that he wasn't going to see death until he seen the Lord's Christ, so he went around testifying to everybody that he wasn't going to die before he saw Christ. Could you imagine what the church people of that day thought about him? Why, they thought the old fellow was a little mentally obsessed. But he had a good reason to testify that, because the Holy Ghost said he was so. What the Holy Spirit says, it's the truth.
So he kept on testifying. God has always had a little remnant of people somewhere who would believe Him. Sometime it's got down to one man: the days of Noah. And sometimes real low, but He's always had somebody who would believe Him, who He could trust and put His hand on, say, "This is My man." See? Always had a remnant on the earth. And then He had a few at that time.
