<TITLE>06. Par 17-18</TITLE>L-17 And notice, when that man, that maniac was so--so completely surrendered to Satan, Satan used his tongue. And he said, "We are legion."
Jesus said, "Who are you?"
And the man couldn't even speak himself; Satan spoke through him, "We are legions, for we are many."
Jesus said, "Hold your peace, but come out of him."
And when that maniac was healed, those devils went out and went into some hogs, about two thousand hogs. And they come out, because it was going to cost them a little something to have the revival; they'd asked Jesus to leave the country. They felt more at home with the devil and the hogs than they did with the lovely Jesus. That's right. And they said... Well, they said, "Oh, leave our country. My, you're too much of a spiritualist for us. We--we--we can't stand that now. If you're going to get people healed around here, and such stuff as that, you get out of our country." Well, He never stays where He's not welcome, so He went on back.
But there was one needy soul that He crossed the stormy sea to get to. And He's the same Jesus tonight. He'd come from glory to one needy soul setting in this humble church tonight. Same One: He'll every time come to where He's wanted, but never come where He's doubted. So if you're doubting Him, just remember, He'll never be at your door. See? But if you love Him and want Him, He'll come anytime you call for Him. He's ready to come.

L-18 Now, we notice, we're taking this little fellow Jairus. Many people kind a criticize Jairus, but, that had this daughter that died. He was a priest at the temple, or one of the great men, chief men around the temple. But I believe he was kind of a secret believer. I believe, down in his heart he really believed Jesus, but he had just--he'd got hisself mixed up with the wrong crowd.
And you know what? I find that everywhere tonight. Sometimes, in the great classic society people, there's secret believers up there--great multimillionaires, and yet they're secret believers, but they're just kindy afraid to associate themselves with this class of people. They try to come by night and knock at the door, but... All right.
Nicodemus was one of those type: come around, said, "Now, Master, I know that You're not so popular. Oh, there's a bunch of these holy rollers following You, or something, they're common people. That's what they claim that You associate with, the common and lower class of people; but we in the temple know that You're a teacher come from God; for no man could do the things that You did without God being with Him." There is a true confession. See? But he'd--he'd associated hisself in the wrong class. And there's a many of those people in Louisville, Kentucky, tonight, perhaps lot setting right here. That's right. You just got yourself up into a big church somewhere, got the biggest name there is around the country; you think that gets you somewhere. It'll cause you to lose your soul. It'll do that for you.
Just humble yourself down. Always remember, the way down is up, with God. See? "He that humbles himself, God will exalt. He that exalts himself shall be brought abased," said Jesus. So just humble down, come on down. Get it the same way the rest of them does.
