<TITLE>07. Par 28-33</TITLE>L-28 Notice, He said, "The things that I do..." In other words, the same type of ministry that He had would be with the believer all the way to the end of the world. That makes Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. We teach Him as a living God, not one that's dead, One that's raised from the dead.
If He's just here on earth and perform miracles, He was just a prophet. But when He died, if that was the end of it, He was just a prophet. But if He raised from the dead, then He's more than a prophet. He's a Son of God.

L-29 So you see, friends, you've got to believe that just the same as Him here tonight just like He was on Galilee. And when you seen that and see His Word made so plain that It's right here before you, that brings faith up. Then it's not a man that healed you; it's not my prayer that healed you; it's not their prayer that healed you; it's your own faith that heals you.
Jesus never said to the woman now, when He found her out there in the audience looking around like that, couldn't find... He felt something, whatever it was. He said "virtue," which means "strength," went from Him. And He looked out to see who it was. Said, "I've been touched."

L-30 Why, the disciples said, "Why, the multitude's a thronging you. Who say--Why You say touch Me?"
He said, "Yes, but somebody touched Me." And He looked down over the audience, and then those majestic eyes centered right down to them. She seen she could not be hid. So He said, "Thy faith has saved thee. The plague's gone now." And...

L-31 Now, if that Jesus was standing here tonight, He could look over this audience, and if any person could touch Him with their faith, the same thing would take place. You believe it? Same thing, if He's the same Jesus.
Then if He was here tonight, He wouldn't claim that I... "Bring Me this man or this woman, or so-and-so, and let Me heal them." No, no. He said, "I can do nothing less the Father shows Me what to do." Is that correct? Saint John 5:19. That He did nothing unless the Father showed Him. Then when the Father showed Him, He just went and acted out what the Father showed Him to do.
Now, Jesus raised from the dead; He could stand here tonight, and you might come here and talk to Him on the platform. He'd look at you, and He'd say, "Well, you have a certain thing wrong with you, and you're Mr. So-and-so, from a certain place."

L-32 You'd say, "Lord Jesus, will You heal me?"
He'd say, "Don't you believe Me? I've already did it when I died for you at Calvary. Do you believe this?"
You'd said, "Yes."
He'd say, "Well, then go on your way. Your faith saved you."

L-33 So...?... healing or salvation cannot come from any man. Now, there's gifts in the church such as prophecy, and gifts of healing, and so forth. That don't mean power to heal; that means knowledge of the Word of healing.
A preacher don't mean you're saved. But it means the knowledge of the Word of salvation. He was gifted with the gift to teach, or to preach, or to prophesy, or any of those gifts is to magnify Jesus Christ and bring Him to the people. And then when the people sees it, they believe it, accept it, confess it, then they're saved.
That's the same thing a gift of healing does. A man can preach the Word so simple that a child could understand it. The people say, "Well, that's right." Then He's cornering the devil.
First thing you know then the person says, "Oh, I believe it. Oh, I believe it's for me." And they accept it. That settles it. They go on testifying of it, and they get well. That's the on...
