<TITLE>08. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 And you're coming from a supernatural realm down to a natural, mortal man again. Well, you're a mortal all the time, but your soul has been so anointed with something. It's lifted you way up above the thing. Here you're in a dimension that the world knows nothing about. There's no need of trying to explain it.
And we... I'll say tonight, as we are setting here now, we are simply blinded to the things of God. I'd imagine if our eyes could come open tonight, and look around over this audience here, and would see stationed around here and Angels of God standing, looking down on this audience at this time, maybe flying back and forth through the audience here, Cherubims from the throne of God standing near, maybe standing all around on the platform here, Angelic Beings hanging here.

L-26 Oh, you say, "Preacher, you're getting all off the line." No, I'm not. Watch Them go to work in a few minutes and you'll find out whether They are or not. See? You... They verify it by the evidence that They're here.
You say, "Well, if They was here, we could see Them." Oh, no. You could be totally blind to them.
Elijah, down there when he was at Dothan, he prayed God to open Gehazi, or his servant's eyes. (I don't remember now whether that was Gehazi or not. I've called it two or three times, and checked it up. I'm... We look at it in the Scripture. I don't know whether it was Gehazi or not.) But when he asked God to open his eyes that he might see, all around him was Angels. The mountains was on fire and Angels of fire and chariots of fire. See? They was right around him.

L-27 And notice. Now, Elijah went out there and smote those Syrians blind. What kind of blind was it? They wasn't blind, just natural blind, physical blind. They were spiritual blind. For he walked out and told them, said, "Are you looking for Elijah?"
They said, "Yes, we're looking for him."
He said, "Come here and I'll show you where he's at." And Elijah leading them, and brought them right down, ambush of the--of the--of Palestine armies, there and they just run out and caught them right in a trap, like that. And they were blind. They didn't know that was Elijah, and Elijah himself leading them.
Don't you believe that we are--could be spiritual blind tonight to the things that's around us? Look at those to Emmaus. Their hearts was full of love. Sure they loved the Lord Jesus. They were going along the road saying, "Oh, if we would've only... Oh, if I... If we could've just seen Him once more. There He is, He's dead. We hoped in Him. Here it is Sunday morning and they tell us all these fairy tales." And going along the road, and out stepped the very Lord Jesus.
Said, "Why are you troubled?"

L-28 Said, "Are You a stranger?" See there? Blind? Said, "Are You just but a stranger?" Had walked with Him, eat with Him, and slept with Him for three years and six months, and walking by His side and didn't know it. They walked along there, said, "Are You just a stranger here?" Why, said, "Don't You we hoped that Jesus of Nazareth would come had come and...?... He would be the deliverer of Israel and all these things."
And Jesus said, "Fools and slow at heart, to know what the prophet said?" And He went back in the Scriptures. And it looked like after hearing Him teach to them for three years and six months, they would've recognized His teaching. But they didn't.
And He walked out there and so He act like He'd just go on when they went into the hotel to stay all night. They stopped in the little hotel, and the... They... He was going to the dining room to eat, so they said, "Well," He made like He'd go on." He said, "Won't you come in with us?"
