<TITLE>21. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 Father... the boy run to Him, said, "Lord, have mercy on my child." Said, "I brought him to the disciples, and seem like they can't do nothing for him." Said, "He--He's has a bad spirit that throws him the fire, and makes him pine away, and he froths at the mouth, and falls into the water, the devil trying to kill him." They call it epilepsy today, but then it was a devil. It's still a devil.
And said, "And I took him to the disciples, they couldn't..." Said, "Lord, can You help me?"
Jesus turned around and said, "I can if you believe. For all things are possible to them that believe."
The father said, "Lord, I believe. Help thou my unbelief."
Oh, is that our cry tonight? "Lord, I believe. Lord, I believe, help Thou my unbelief."

L-71 Now, in this back audience here I realize that there's many peoples, and many I don't know. Frankly, there's none that I know expect my own associates that's here with me and this minister. I can't call his name, but he was with me the other day at the hotel. I--I... He's one of the chairman, or something, on the committee. He's the only one that I know of. There's another minister with him, but I believe that I don't know who the man was.
Now, if Jesus, the Son of God, has raised from the dead, He will do the same things in His resurrection, if He is the same, that He did when He was here on earth. Is that right?
When He was here on earth, He did not claim to be a healer. He said, "I do nothing of Myself. I... The Father shows Me what to do, and then I go do it. I do what the Father shows Me." Is that right? "I do nothing of Myself. Verily, Verily I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself; but what He sees the Father doing, that doth the Son likewise. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto."

L-72 Now, to make that plain to some of you, you new converts. Jesus said, "I can't heal the sick; I can't do a thing. First the Father shows Me a vision, and then I go act it out in drama, and do just what He told Me to do."
Look at the grave of Lazarus. Look at all the places through the Bible. He did just as the Father showed Him. He passed by the sick, the afflicted, dead, died on ever hand, and everything, but when the Father showed Him what to do, He went and done it.
Now, he said, "The things that I do shall you do also. And a little while and the world, the unbeliever, won't see me no more. Yet you shall see Me, you'll see Me." He promised that He'd be with us through the end of the age, the end of the world. The world hasn't come to the end yet. "Jesus Christ," the Bible said in Hebrews 13:8, "is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Is that right?
Well, my contention is here in Georgia, as it has been three times around the world now, that Jesus raised from the dead, and is alive tonight among men. And He's here in the same principle, same power, same signs, same wonders, working in His Church, continuing the work with His Church that He paid for while He was here on earth with His supreme Sacrifice. I believe that with all my heart. I believe it because the Bible said so, and because God comes and confirms it to be so.

L-73 What do you think Jesus would do if He was here tonight? He'd be doing the same thing He did then. He looked out; there's a fellow named Philip got saved. This is for the newcomers. A fellow named Philip got saved. He went out and called his friend, Nathanael. He found him under a tree, praying. Now, listen close. So he said, "Come, see Who I found, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph."
Why, the man was a very good church member, real aristocratical sort of a fellow. He said, "Could there come any good thing out of Nazareth?" It was a mean little old city, cutthroats and things lived there. He said, "Come and see." That's a very good answer. "Come and see."
