<TITLE>04. Par 35-44</TITLE>L-35 He, when He was here, He knew where a fish was, had a coin in his mouth. He knew where two mules was stand, hitched to, where two ways came together. And He knew where a man would be packing a pitcher. Many things that He knew. He knew Philip when he come to Him, that he'd been praying before he come, under a tree; knew that he was a good, righteous man.
But He said in His Own Words, "I can do nothing of Myself, until the Father shows Me what to do." All that believes that Scripture, say "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's what, Saint John 5:19.

L-37 He passed by a big multitude, two or three thousand people in there, crippled, twisted, lame, halt, blind, withered; full of love and compassion, walked right by every one of them, healed a man with some little disease like... Oh, I don't know; he might just been subject to bad colds, for all I know. It, he had it thirty-eight years. It wasn't going to hurt him or kill him; it was retarded. And He made that man whole, and walked away and left that multitude laying there. And then when He was questioned, He said, "I can do nothing of Myself, but what I see the Father doing."

L-38 Now, sometimes people want Him to clown with that, when they seen He had that power. They asked Him. Herod said, "Do me a miracle. Let me see You do something." And he asked Him to speak for Himself. He stood, like dumb before shearers, like a sheep dumb before the shearers.
They wrapped a rag around His head one day, a bunch of critical soldiers, and hit Him on the head, and said, "Now, if you're a prophet, if you know all these things, and so forth, tell us who hit You. Do a miracle for us."

L-40 When Satan first met Him, Satan said, "Now, if you will do a miracle for me, I'll believe that you're the Son of God. Turn these stones to bread. Let me see you do it." Jesus just quoted the Scripture right back to him.
And then, every time Satan wanted to see Him do a miracle. The people who's possessed of Satan, wants to see Him, "Do something for me. Let me see You heal this one. Let me put a scratch on Your hand, and You heal it, and I'll believe You." There you are. The same evil spirit that said, "Come off the cross now and we'll believe You. Your hands are tacked up there. You're calling Elijah; let's see Him come, deliver You now. If you found so much favor in Him, in God, let's see Him deliver You. Come off the cross and we'll believe you. Do a miracle before us."
Miracles has always stumped the unbeliever. But just the same, our heavenly Father is a miracle-working God. That's it. Everywhere He's always been, whatever His ministry has been, where He's had His ministers, there's been signs, wonders, and miracles.

L-43 Now, the Lord bless you, while I read a text of Scripture here for a few moments, and then we will go into the service, and then right to the healing service.

L-44 Now, look. Jesus, when He was here on earth, He said, "Now, the things that I do, shall you do also. More than this will you do (or greater), for I go to My Father. Now, yet a little while," I'm quoting Jesus, "yet a little while and the world sees Me no more, yet You shall see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever."
How many Christians in here tonight, believe with all your heart, that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead and lives tonight? Let's see your hand. Well, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, won't He produce tonight in His Church the same thing He did in His Church, when He was here on earth in flesh? See? It's just... The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. He's here in a spiritual form, just as much alive as He ever was, here, living in us, performing the things that He did when He was here on earth, as a confirmation of His being with us. "I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." The Lord bless you.
