<TITLE>09. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24 If you'll notice the previous reading of the Scripture said, "Jesus knew that the man had been a long time in this way." See? He knew. Why didn't He go to these? He knew nothing about them. But He knew about this one.
Then the Jews found this man packing his bed on the sabbath day and questioned him, and perhaps was questioning Jesus about these things.
"Why won't He heal that one? Let me see Him make this one well and I'll believe it. Let me see Him heal this one; I'll believe it." And yet people were being healed everywhere. Them same critical ungodly spirits still...?... exist today. "Let me see Him heal this one and I'll believe it." See? The devil takes his man, but never his spirit. God takes His man, but never His Spirit. His Spirit lives right on. God's Spirit lives on in men, on and on and on. "Ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." See?

L-25 Then there's "Ye's" still living that sees it and believes it. As Brother Cauble just said, as I was standing there at the hall, that how the people right here in this church with doctor's statement. And yet the whole country criticizes Divine healing. Why is it? They try to think it's fake, it's something put up. It's because that the devil that lives in them won't let them believe. Their eyes are blinded from truth, and they can't believe. They haven't got nothing to believe with. How can I move a hand if I haven't got a hand to move with? How can I believe God when I'm just looking at a Word here and Him not in here. You got to have God in here first 'fore you can believe God. "Except a man be borned again, he can't see the Kingdom of God." Is that right? "See it" is "understand it." So how can a man that's not born again know what anything about the Kingdom of God? Jesus said Himself, "Except a man be borned of water and spirit he will, can in no wise..." He can't understand it; there's no need of looking at it. He can't do it.
And many of these people who deny these know no more about God than a rabbit would know about snowshoes. They--they just simply don't know. They say, "Oh, I there's God, yes, uh-huh." That's all there is to it. But, brother, to know Jesus is to know Life, personally accepting the Person Christ Jesus, that lives in the heart of the human being. Yes, then you have a challenging faith. Then there's something in there that you know you're not standing alone. As Jesus said, "The mouth... The testimony of two is what you require." He said, "I testify and My Father speaks; and both of Us makes a true testimony."

L-26 If I stand here tonight and speak of something and God the Almighty speaks back, that's a testimony if two is a confirmation. Is that right? If God... If I say you can receive the Holy Ghost, and God comes down and gives you the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that's a confirmation of the truth.
Someone said the Holy Ghost was only for years gone by. The Holy Ghost is today. There's people setting right here now, hosts of them that's baptized with the Holy Ghost right now. So no matter what the critics say, you got to expect that. Don't listen to it. Just close up your ears and go on. We're holding the services for the Lord Jesus Christ. And by God's help that's what we're going to do until Jesus comes, or He changes the order. And men who are ordained of God and sent of God, look to God for instruction, and look to God to what to do with, and God takes care of His man. He always does.
