<TITLE>20. Par 64-67</TITLE>L-64 Now, now, that's their ministry, the way they do it. Now, to me, gifts and callings of this type is not by laying on of hands. You're born with these gifts. See? You come in the world with them. Now, just as natural for me to see a vision as it is for you to take a drink of water when you're thirsty. See? Nothing I have to do with it. You own faith does it. See?
Now, It'll come to the platform, this same Angel, if It does, It never failed yet. I trust that It will. Then it's your faith that operates It. See, when the Angel of God, the Holy Ghost, God Himself, was with Jesus Christ, the woman touched His garment. He didn't see no vision about that. And yet, He said, "I do nothing, except the Father shows Me."

L-65 But the woman touched His garment, that said... as He got weak. He said, "Who touched Me? I got weak. Virtue went out." And He looked around, and He found her. He said, "Thy faith has saved thee."
Now, the woman herself operated the gift of God, through the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Is that right? But now, God, when He showed Him a gift, why it was diff--showed Him a--a vision. Jesus said, when He passed by the crippled and afflicted people, He said, didn't heal any of them but one man on a pallet. Saint John 5, they asked Him about it, questioned Him, He said, "Well, verily, verily, I say unto to you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son, likewise. The Father worketh; I worketh hitherto, but I do nothing, except the Father shows Me."

L-66 Now, that doesn't mean you get healed. That means that you're own faith accepts it. You can accept it just the same on believing the Word, right now. But God in His mercy, not willing that you should go on sick, but has done all kinds of gifts into the church to build your faith, to let you see that He is present.
Now, when He was here on earth, He had a power about Him, that He perceived their thoughts. Is that right? The woman come to Him at the well; He said, "Bring Me a drink." You know how the story goes.
And she said, "Not customary for the Jews to talk to the Samaritans," and so forth.
And He went and found her spirit. He told her what her trouble was, said, "Go get your husband."
She said, "Don't have none."
Said, "That's right, you got five."
Now, watch what she said to the Newcomer; she said, "I perceive that You are a prophet." She said, "I know when Messiah cometh, He will do these things. He will show us things like that. But how did You know that was my trouble? Messiah, that'll be the sign of Messiah. But who are You?"
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."
She ran into the city, left her water pots, said, "Come, see a Man that told me," She was all excited, of course, said, "everything I ever done." He just told her that one thing, but God could've showed Him everything. Do you believe that?

L-67 So now, if Jesus has risen from the dead, He is not dead, He is risen from the dead. He said, "The things that I do, shall you do also. More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father." Is that right? "A little while and the world sees Me no more (That's the unbeliever.), yet ye shall see Me, for I (personal pronoun), I will be with you, even in you (Till how long? The apostle's age?), to the end of the world. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." May the Lord bless.
