<TITLE>17. Par 156-167</TITLE>L-156 See, what--what caused this thing back there in the beginning? Blood. Blood, life was in the blood. And back there is what caused it in the beginning. Now, to take it away, God Himself has to come down.
And He made Himself real little, come into the womb of Mary, and created it around Himself, a wall, which was the blood Cell (No man knowed nothing about It.), created this blood Cell. That blood cell pushed to another, another, another one, and all the nerves and everything begin to come in. And God Himself living in this, making a tabernacle, and He dwelt in Christ.
There's God walking around. He said, "I and My Father are One. My Father is in Me."
Said, "Show us now the Father." Philip said, "Showeth me the Father and it'll satisfy me."
Said, "Philip, I been so long with you, and you don't know Me?" He said, "When you see Me, you see the Father. And why say, 'Show me the Father.' I and the Father are One. My Father's living in Me now. It's not Me that doeth the works; it's Him that dwells in me, that does the works." Oh, my.

L-161 How could I tell a man what was wrong with him? How could I tell him what his future will be ten years, or what he was forty years ago? It isn't me. Hallelujah. It's Him that lives in me, that come down, that through His Blood brought me in fellowship with Him. Hallelujah. How could my hands do anything by healing the sick? It hasn't got a bit of power. It's not me. But it's Him that dwells in here that does it.
How could this man preach the Gospel? He can't preach no Gospel. There's nothing in him to do it with. He's a sinner by nature. But God come down and dwelt in him, made him a son of God, and he preached the Gospel. Why does he believe the Word? Because the very God that made the Word is preaching right through him.

L-163 How that I see it. Do you see it? There it is. The very God that wrote the Word is in the man, saying, "That's the Truth. I don't care what anybody says. That's the Truth." There it is. God in the man recognizes His Own Word. Hallelujah. That settles it. God, in here...
"Believe all things. Hope all things. Endure all things." Is that right? All the Scripture is inspiration of God. God wrote It. When God comes in here, God recognizes His Own Word, says, "Sure, That's the Truth." Now, you go to doctoring It out somewhere, that's up between you and God. But God recognizes His own Word. Amen. Oh, how that makes us feel: God's inspired Word.
Notice. I heard that little Nazarene preacher in New Albany, this morning take a--the other side of That. Brother, I mean he really laid it on there too, about all Scripture given by inspiration. Yes. It is.

L-167 Now, God has made a promise, and He told Abraham what He would do. He took His oath. He swore by Himself: none greater. So God Himself... All that He was, in the Pillar of Fire, He was in Christ Jesus. "For God..." the Bible said. God... The Bible said that God emptied (You know what you do, when we empty anything?)--emptied Himself into Christ. Just think. God emptied Himself into Christ. And Christ thought it not robbery to be equal with God, for He was God.
That's the thing they killed Him for: breaking the sabbath day, making Himself God. And He was Lord of the Sabbath, and He was God Emmanuel. Christ... It was God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Now, and everything that God was, He emptied into Christ. And everything Christ was, He emptied into the Church. So don't you see how Christ, regardless of what the theologians said, He believed the Father. Is that right?
They said, "He's crazy." They said, "He's Beelzebub. He's a devil."
He said, "You can get by with that now, talking about Me. But when the Holy Ghost comes, don't you try it." See?
