<TITLE>03. Par 13-18</TITLE>L-13 As Paul said, "It's no more me, but Christ that liveth in me." And if Christ lives in a man, He... Christ lives His Life like He did when He was here on earth, for He said so. He said, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more, but you shall see Me. For I will be with you to the end of the world. And the things that I do, so shall you do." And He's raised from the dead, and He's here now in the same power that He had when He was here on earth, doing the same thing, saving the same kind of people, healing the same kind of sick, showing the same kind of visions.

L-14 And over in the New Testament, and the--when the church was first inaugurated, Peter said in his sermon to the church, that God said, "In the last days I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and daughters shall prophesy. And your young men shall see visions." God has promised, the things that Jesus did would be done again in the last days. And we're living in that day.
Jesus did not claim to be a great Healer. He gave all praise to God. And He said, "I can do nothing in Myself." when He was questioned why He didn't heal all the sick people.

L-15 When He went out to the pool of Bethesda, there laid thousands of people, lame, twisted, and halt, and blind. He walked among them, till He found a man laying on a pallet. He made him well and left the rest of them. That's Saint John 5. And in the 19th verse, He is being questioned. 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."
Christ had perfect faith in God. For Jesus is just the body, and God was in Him. The Bible says that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself.

L-16 Now, Abraham, as he received the promise, he journeyed on, after he--God confirmed the promise to him. So we find him now in about the 18th chapter of Genesis, after Lot had separated himself; Lot went out into the Sodom and Gomorrah, a very beautiful type of lukewarm believers today that love the world and the things of the world. The Bible said, "If you love the world or the things of the world, the love of God's not even in you."
So Lot went down with the backsliders. But Abraham stayed out where God placed him, for he knew that God promised to him that he was going to heir the whole thing.

L-17 So the--the lands were poor. The herd probably was very thin. One day while Abraham was setting under the oak, he lifted up his eyes, and standing in front of him, stood three Men. And One of them was Almighty God Himself. I wonder why that God appeared in that form with dust over Him. Abraham invited Him in, and he went and killed a calf, cooked the meat, got some butter and some milk, and Sarah went and got some cake, and set them down before Them. And Almighty God eat food like a man.
Do you imagine what God did there. He just reached out and got a handful of atoms, and some petroleum, (petroleum, you know, oils and stuff) [Brother Branham speaks to the interpreter--Ed.], and got the--the cosmic light, what the human body's made up of, and put it together, and lived in it. It was a preview what He was--what He was going to be anyhow. For He was manifested in the flesh in Christ Jesus.

L-18 Oh, He's wonderful. Some glorious day these bodies of ours are going back where they come from. But if our spirit is right with God, at the resurrection everybody will come back again.
The other day I--I was combing my hair, and my wife said, "Billy, you're losing most of your hair."
I said, "But, honey, I haven't lost a one of them."
She said, "Where are they at?"
I said, "Where was--where were they before I got them? They're there now waiting for me in the resurrection." Amen. They was one time they wasn't. Then there was a time they were. Now, there is a time they are not. But according to the Bible, there'll be a time when they'll be again.
