<TITLE>02. Par 7-12</TITLE>L-7 Right along, towards the last of His ministry in the 15th chapter of Saint John, I believe it is, he said, "No... Now You speak plainly and not by parables. Now we know that You come from God, and we know that no man has to tell You anything." See? Right. "By this we know that Thou has come from God." Jesus said, "Do you now believe?" See, see?
Their faith had seen what He had done and some great revelation made known by the Spirit manifestation, then their faith was lifted up to this place to receive it. "And now we are sure that Thou comest from God." See? "Now we believe."

L-8 No much... How much psychology, that doesn't mean anything. What... I don't say it doesn't mean anything, pardon me. I... It helps, psychology. But it doesn't take the place of reality. That's right. Psychology is something you're thinking of or mentally worked up to. But the reality is God's placing that in confirmation of your psychology. It brings...
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." It's actually an evidence, something positive when it's confirmed to you.

L-9 In the book of Saint John the 3rd chapter, reading a few verses. Listen to this.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for... ( Why do you know it?) We know that you're a teacher come from God. (Yet He was against all the theology, all their teaching. He laid aside and taught the plain truth from God.) We know thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

L-10 That's how they knowed. Jesus done something that brought their faith up to a place to recognize that He was the Son of God.
Now if the church is only teaching theology, how do you if it's right or not? But when God works in that church, bringing the faith up to a place, you know then. That's the way with Divine healing.
Now, the 14th verse is where I wish to speak from for a few moments.
And as Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

L-11 Jesus, talking to this mighty ruler who did not understand, and He was giving him the Old Testament as Scriptural proof of what He was talking about. Jesus was very fundamental in His doctrine. But it was against their theology of that doctrine. Although in their theology they were very orthodox. They believed and very much of believers in what they did believe. But they didn't have it, the Truth.
The Scripture says there is a way that seemeth right unto a man. It may seem every bit right. But the end are the ways of death. So we must be sure that we're right. How God knew in all ages that whether it was right or wrong. He vindicated it. He proved it.

L-12 Not long ago, about a two weeks ago, I was talking to a man. And he said, "Well, if God, back in the Old Testament healed the sick." But said, "In the New Testament, He healed the sick." But said, "Now it's a... it wasn't so."
And I said, "You admit that He gave them power to heal the sick?"
"Yes."
"Through His Word?"
"Yes."
I said, "When did the Scripture say he took it away from them?" See? "You... I can show you where it come. You know where it was given. Now, show me where it was taken away, and I will believe it."
