<TITLE>08. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 The Roman smote Him in the face and spit in His face couldn't feel any virtue. But it was that woman's reverence and respect, believing that God sent Him, and He was the Son of God. It was virtue to her. He will be virtue tonight to you, if you'll come to Him reverently and say, "Lord Jesus, I believe that You're just the same tonight." The same virtue is flowing tonight, yet behind Him a Blood sacrifice with full pay of redemption."
There He was and she passes by. He went on. After she'd touched His garment, He went down to the pool of Bethesda; there laid great multitudes now. Listen at what kind of people: lame, blind, withered, halt. Just think of that. And here He come, Son of God, full of virtue. And there was a great. Here, let's dramatize it. Set withered... Here's a poor old withered up mother standing there, her little old bone almost sticking through her skin, with her hands out, "Somebody help me get into the water." Here comes the Son of God right by her.
Maybe there stood the poor old daddy all drawed up with arthritis, "Somebody help me get in," and the Son of God passing right by him.
There stood the blind man totally blind, maybe a little blind baby. And the Son of God passed right by, until He came to a man laying on a pallet. For Jesus knew that he was there. And He said, "Will thou be made whole."
And he said, "Sir, I have no one to put in the water when the water's troubled." Now, he could walk. He wasn't crippled. He probably had a prostate trouble, or TB, or something it was retarded. He'd had it for thirty-eight years, wasn't going to kill him. So he said, "I have no one to put in the water; when I'm coming someone else steps down ahead of me."
Said, "Take up thy bed and go into the house," then walked away. Compassionate, full of love, and walked away and left thousands of blind, lame, halt, and withered laying there. What if that happened in Macon? You know, the same thing it'd be said, "Let me see Him do that. Why, did He do that?" But here's His secret now...

L-28 And to my ministering brethren, read it on, five--5th chapter of Saint John. Get down to the 19th verse when they caught Him and questioned Him. Now, listen to His words, everyone now, for the saving of time. We--our time's run out.
He said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing; that doeth the Son likewise." Is that Scripture? Saint John 5:19, Jesus Christ speaking. Let me quote it again. "Verily, Verily (That's absolutely, absolutely.) I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing; that doeth the Son likewise. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto." In other words Jesus said this plain thing, "I do not do one thing until first the Father shows Me a vision of what to do, then I go do what He tells Me to do." The Father had showed Him that that man that was laying there; He made him whole; that's all He could do. The Father didn't show Him nothing else.
And any true servant of God, any time in the Scripture, was the same thing. Search it. See if that isn't right.

L-29 Look at Elijah when he laid all of his kindling wood and things around, killed the sacrifice, and so forth. He stepped out and said, "Lord, I did all of this at Your--at Your word. I made this just according to what You showed me."
Now, many times we get all enthused, rattled up when we shouldn't do it. Stand still; look to God; believe with all your heart. He's the only One that can do it. You see it?
Where one a being healed here on the platform, there's hundreds get's healed in the audience.
