<TITLE>09. Par 33-36</TITLE>L-33 Now, I want to ask you something, and to you clergymen also: if Jesus has risen from the dead, as we know He has, did the Scripture teach in Hebrews 13:8 that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever? Well, what He did then, He'd do now. Is that right? What He did. Now, He didn't claim to have power to heal did He? He said, "I can do nothing except the Father shows Me first." Is that right? "First the Father showed Me, that I..." Do you believe that Scripture's inspired? Saint John 5:19. Look at the rest of the Scripture and see if it dovetails with it.
Look at the blind man when they come begging to Him; He walked on down the street. They came into the room; He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith, be it unto you." The woman touched His garment, went back out in the crowd, stood out there; Jesus knew something had happened. He was a Seer, not only a seer, but He was the King of the seers. He looked down in the audience, He found the woman that had the faith. He said, "Thy faith has saved thee."

L-34 He knew the name of Simon. He said, "Your name is Simon, but you shall be called Peter, hereafter." The things that He did in His day... He talked to the woman at the well. Instead of going on down to Jericho, He went up to Samaria. Sent the disciples away, I wondered why. When the woman come out to draw water... We think... Here she was a prostitute. I know not; God does. Whatever she was, Jesus being a Jew, asked her, a Samaritan, to give a drink of water. There was a racial separation something like today between the colored and white.
She said, "It's not customary for Jews to ask Samaritans such."
In a very polite, dignified way He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." And the conversation went on. After a bit... To my opinion, He was contacting her spirit.

L-35 Jesus did not work through mental telepathy, as we call it today, but He read the people's mind. Do you believe that? The Scriptures said He did. He perceived their thoughts. Is that right? Well, what's perceiving a thought, perceiving what you're thinking of? Not these psychic readers out here, that's of the devil. That's the devil. Any fortunetellers or psychic... But did you know the devil impersonates everything that God has? He has his churches; he teaches the Gospel in his way. As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these resist the truth. Look at Jannes and Jambres was sent...
Someone who might think that Divine healing was of the devil. The devil cannot, never did, and never will be able to heal anybody. Jesus Christ said so. He said, "If Satan can cast out Satan, then his kingdom's divided."

L-36 What was the sign between the--the magicians and--and the real true prophet Moses and Aaron? The magician could almost do everything that Moses did, but the magician could bring the diseases, but he couldn't take them away. He couldn't heal. They broke out in boils themselves (See?), and they couldn't heal. But God can heal. Satan can impersonate, but he can't heal. I'm just your brother, a man.
Have they got their... All your full amount there, Billy Paul?
I don't want you to talk. I just want to talk to you, and I want that with the--the prayer line, and wherever it is in the audience. 'Cause it's a vision, and when the vision breaks, when you speak, it brings it back, and sometimes I don't get the main thing of what the Holy Spirit says and does.
It's going into another world, to the scientists, another dimension.
