<TITLE>12. Par 36-39</TITLE>L-36 And now, when Jesus was here on earth... And let me say another thing, if you are an unbeliever or a skeptic, I would advise you not to stay in the meeting, because let it be known unto you that diseases goes from one to another. Many's been in the meetings know that that's Scripturally, and it does do it, from one to another. So I wouldn't stay where evil spirits will be at large. I do not say that to scare you. I say that because I love you. Even though you may an unbeliever or skeptic, that don't keep me from loving you. I do anyhow, 'cause it's not me that does the loving; it's the Lord Jesus in my heart that makes me love you. See? And me, as a man, I wouldn't do; I'd want to know why, when and how. But the Christ in my hearts says, "This is Me; I died for that person." See? So it's all right. See? No matter what you do, I still love you any how, not from my lips, from my heart. And every Christian does the same thing as long as Jesus abides in the heart.
Now, I'm only here to help. You say, "Well, I--I couldn't believe it." Well, millions has been healed. Tonight, I guess, if it was called worldwide, for statements, there could be millions of people that's deaf, dumb, blind, crippled, twisted, and all kinds of diseases that could stand with statements, "Healed by the power of God." One of them would be a confirmation, but millions could stand.

L-37 So if you're an unbeliever, I feel sorry for you. My heart bleeds for you, 'cause you can't help that. You were borned to that destination, says the Bible. You were born to be an unbeliever, and you're lost. Very, very doubtful you'll ever be saved, because the Bible said that these people were foreordained of old to take this place.
And if you're a believer tonight, you should be the happiest person in the world. And if you're on the fence tonight (as we called, a worldly expression, "on the fence"), don't know which way to turn. God's still having mercy on you. Please turn to the believing side tonight, that Christ can be kind to you and save you, while you have a day of mercy left. Remember, "No man can come to Me, except My Father draws him first." So if you're an unbeliever, just think where you're standing tonight. If you're a critic, you're outside of God, outside of Christ, you're lost, hopeless, helpless, on your road to hell, no sign of redemption for you nowhere, if you're an unbeliever. What a pitiful shape to be in. I'd rather be in any other shape in the world than to be like that, anything else besides that. You're alienated from God, will never be with God; you'll be in darkness all through eternal ages to come.

L-38 If you're a believer, and believe on the Lord, and He's reconciled you, or recognized your faith by giving you the Seal of His promise, the Holy Ghost, you have the assurance of being with Him in glory forever. There's the two crowds tonight.
The Bible said, "In the last days that He'd have signs and wonders moving amongst the people." He'd have scoffers making fun and laughing, like they did in the beginning. We've got both crowds in Chicago tonight. What side are you on?

L-39 Someone wrote me a little note, said, "I don't care what you would do, you'll never make me believe it." Now, you know where that person is? He's lost, without God. And yet, he's an elder in a church, said he was. You can't--if they can't believe, they just can't believe. How could I make myself a porcupine? I couldn't do it. A leopard cannot clean his spots. So if you've happy in Christ tonight, be thankful.
The way I have to minister is by Divine gift of the Spirit, of a seeing Spirit, that foresees. May I explain it, just briefly?
Jesus and every apostle or most of the apostles were in the same way, especially Paul and Peter. There's nothing said about the rest of them, only Ananias.
