<TITLE>17. Par 66-68</TITLE>L-66 Now look, I have constantly testified of Jesus Christ. Is that right? Anybody knows that, that I am... I have nothing at all; I don't even have an education. I have no personality. I--I have nothing that I can offer to a congregation. The only thing that I have is I know Jesus Christ in the power of His resurrection. And by sovereign grace He gave me a gift to work for Him with. And I'm doing all I can to help you lovely Christians here, and also, sinners, to accept Him and believe Him for your salvation and healing. Now, if I testify of God, and I'm telling the truth, now I want you to give me your attention for a few minutes. Any man can come by here and say anything he wants to. That's been the trouble now: Come by and say anything, "Oh, God does this and this. He told me this, and He give me this, that."
Now, the man, I take his word for it. If he told me, I'd take his word until it was proved different. Now, if a man says anything, that's just his word. But if God turns around and testifies that that's the truth, then you shouldn't disbelieve God. You should believe God. Is that right? Believe God.

L-67 Now, I have testified of Jesus Christ, of His resurrection. And He said, "The things that I do shall you do also. And I'll be with you to the end of the world." Is that right? And He said, "The very things that He did..."
Now, what did He do? He never healed people; he didn't claim to. He said, "I can do nothing in Myself, but what I see the Father doing." Is that right? And what the Father told Him to do, that--and showed Him to do, that's what He done (See?), just exactly what God...
Then Saint John 5:24. I want you to listen closely. Jesus in Saint John, passed through the pool of Bethesda. Is that right? How many Bible readers knows that's right? And there laid great multitudes of impotent people: lame, halt, blind, withered (Is that right?), waiting for the moving of water. For an Angel come down troubled the water. The first one having faith and stepping in, got healed. And Jesus was God. And He came right through that great multitude of people to that poor paralyzed man setting there crying, blind, "Somebody help me in the pool?" Full of compassion, moved right by him.

L-68 The woman with the water-head baby, the twisted, the blind, the lame, the halt, and He went right through every one of them and never said one thing to any of them, went over there to a man laying on a pallet that had prostate trouble, or something like that, or...?... He'd had it thirty-eight years; it wasn't going to kill him. And He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
Now, watch, the Scriptures said, "Jesus knew that he had been here." See, it was a vision. And He made him whole, walked on away, and left that multitude of crippled people. Is that right? How many says that's the Scripture, say, "Amen." That's the Scripture, exactly.
Well now, don't you know the critics that day, said, "Why didn't He heal this one? Why don't He heal that one? Why don't He heal that one?" the same thing we get right back every day... "Heal this and I'll believe it." No, you wouldn't. You'd believe without seeing it if you was a believer. Whether they're healed or not, doesn't make any...
If I prayed for a thousand people tonight, and the whole thousand died tomorrow morning, tomorrow night I'd be preaching Divine healing. Because God's Word said so. It ain't based on whether this or that; God said so. See? That settles it.
