<TITLE>06. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 I can see the Holy Spirit strike Simeon, say, "Stand up." Simeon stands up. I believe that sons of God are led by the Spirit of God. The Messiah's in the temple. I can hear the Holy Spirit say to Simeon, "Start walking." He don't know where he's going; he's just walking. Here he comes, led by the Holy Spirit, milling around through the people, comes down along that line till he finds this little despised virgin standing there with a baby in her arms, reaches over, takes the baby in his arms, tears rolling down his white beard, and says, "Lord, let Thy servant now depart in peace according to Thy Word, for my eyes have seen Thy Salvation."

L-22 At the same time, there's a blind prophetess in the temple by the name of Ann, the virgin Ann. She departed not from the temple, but was in the temple day and night, praying. And she too waited for the coming of the Lord. And at the same time, the Holy Spirit moved on her. And here comes old blind Ann, way in her eighties, moving by the Holy Spirit among all those people, not knowing where she was going, led by the Holy Spirit until she come and stood in front of the Christ Child and raised up her hands and blessed God.
What led you here tonight? David said, "When the deep calleth to the deep, if there's a deep in you calling..." How many here believe in Divine healing? Let's see your hands. If you believe in Divine healing, there's got to be a fountain open somewhere, the first thing God's Word promised us. Is that right? And if God's Word has promised it, and you are a Christian, I don't believe you'd come across the country... And I come here tonight seeing license from Texas, and Louisiana, everywhere. You never come all this distance, leaving your own church and things tonight to set in this little place here just to be seen. You've come because something in you is telling you that there's a fountain somewhere, open for Divine healing. And the same Holy Spirit that led Simeon has led you tonight right into this place here where Jesus Christ the Son of God, nightly makes the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk. Do you believe Him?

L-23 Now, Jesus in His ministry, take a look to what He was. He wasn't a great Man, or claimed not to be. He was a poor Man. He didn't dress different from other men; He dresses like any other man. He was no beauty that we should desire Him, probably a little thin delicate looking Man. But when He spoke, He spoke of His Father. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me. He doeth the work."
And when He passed by a bunch of crippled people one day at the pool of Bethesda, went up, healed a man that had maybe a prostate trouble or something, went on up. The Jews questioned Him about it. And He said, "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." He only did as God showed Him.

L-24 When He was here on earth, when the people stood by Him, He perceived their thoughts. Is that Scripture? He perceived what they were thinking of. And what did the world say about Him? Said, "He was the chief of the devils, the greatest of fortunetellers." They didn't recognize. Fortunetellers are not healers and so forth. Fortunetellers are people who are impersonating the dead or something.
God speaks of judgment, righteousness, salvation, power, healing. How wonderful that Jesus magnified God. When they come to Him, and said to Him different things, asked Him questions, He said, "I only do as My Father shows Me."
He went to a woman at the well. He said, "Bring Me a drink." She questioned about Him being a Jew and her a Samaritan, but He said, "If ye knew Who you were talking to, you would ask Me for a drink." And as the conversation went on, He found out where her trouble was. And He said, "Go, get your husband." That was her trouble.
And she said, "I perceive that You are a Prophet."
