<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 And into India first where... just like in Africa where witch doctors and everything else... as soon as they see the first sign of supernatural, they challenge you. And I have never seen a time but what our Lord Jesus triumphed, moved over, went out and glorified Him. I never seen a time but what there was a great sign and miracle followed.
And I pray that you'll be praying for me, for I need your prayers. I'm just a man, just a human being, your brother in the Lord Jesus Christ. And I need your prayers very much, and I'll be depending on you praying.
I would like to get, if possible... I don't know what it'll be when I get into Jerusalem. I have to go to Transjordan first, of course, before I can get into Jerusalem.

L-18 Oh, how my heart burns to stand, seeing every prophecy, as far as I know fulfilled, except one thing, a spiritual awakening among the Jews. When the Jews receive the Holy Ghost again, and the Kingdom of God comes upon them, the Gentile days will be finished. And I have heard, I do not know, I haven't been there...
Mr. Lewi Pethrus, our brother from Stockholm, Sweden... The big Filadelfian Church sent around a million Bibles down there, written in Yiddish. Those Jews coming in, reading the Bible, they said, "If this be the Messiah, let us see Him do the sign of a prophet. We'll believe it." That's the same thing we used in Africa. How happy I would be to see them make that same challenge. And they believe the prophets; they believe the supernatural. "The Jews seek signs, the Greeks wisdom," said Paul. Jews still seek signs. And our heavenly Father is a sign, miracle working God. They're looking for Him.

L-19 We've had theology. They've taught it through the countries until they're just sick and tired of the tracts they're passing. But they want to see the Word made manifest, then they'll believe it. Jesus said this same thing. I'm afraid, teachers, there's where we've made our mistake. Jesus said to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and these signs shall follow them that believe in all the world. See? I believe that's where we've left off. We've tried to bypass it with our theology, around the very Fountain that gives Life to the world, the resurrected Jesus Christ.
If He is risen from the dead, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, can do the very same things tonight, right here in this audience, that He did when He was here. What would He do? He would stand here sing; He wouldn't dress any different from any other man; He would look like other men. He walked among men, peasant, poor. Come by the way of a stable, went out through capital punishment, only had one garment, as far as we know of in the Scripture and wove throughout without seam; it was given to Him. No place to lay His head, He was poor. He talked like the poor people talk. He didn't have... He wasn't eloquent in His speech, perhaps, but He spake like a man never spake before, for He had authority. He... God was with Him. He was God manifested in the flesh, Jehovah inveiled in human flesh. I love Him, tonight with all my heart.
