<TITLE>05. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 One day, going through a crowd... A little woman had spent all of her money for the doctors, and none of them could do her no good. She had a blood issue. It was her age, perhaps menopause. And said she had spent all her money. The doctors couldn't help her. She had heard about Jesus. She said, "I'm not worthy to go to Him. But if I can ever touch His clothes, I believe God is in Him. If I can touch His clothes, I'll get well."
Now, she had no Scripture about that. But her faith went beyond that. But you've got Scripture tonight to believe what I'm trying to tell you, thousands times more than that woman had. But she pressed through the crowd; she crawled up behind Him, touched His garment, and went back, and stood in the crowd.
Everybody around Jesus... Jesus stopped. He said, "Who touched Me?"
Everybody said, "Not me." The Bible said all denied.
But He said, "Somebody touched Me."
Peter said, "Well, everybody is touching You, Lord."
"Yes, He said, but somebody has touched Me. I'm getting weak. Virtue's going out."
And He looked around over the crowd. And everybody saying, "Not me."

L-22 But He found that little woman. Oh, He said, "Thy faith has saved thee." For she felt in her heart, with faith in Him, that if she could touch Him, she'd be healed.
That was Jesus yesterday. That's Jesus today. That's Jesus forever. He never said, "I healed you." He said, "Your faith has healed you." If a little woman's faith pulled Jesus around in the crowd, and pick her out, and tell her that her faith had made her whole from that blood issue...?... the same Jesus tonight. Amen.
Jesus didn't claim to be a big person. He didn't dress any different from other men. He didn't dress like a rabbi. He walked among men. He looked like an ordinary men. He walked with men. He dressed like men. And He lived among men, so much that they didn't even know Him. He did not dress like a priest. He dressed like an ordinary man.
And He didn't say, "I'm a healer." But He said, "I can do nothing. It's not Me that doeth the work. It's the Father that dwelleth in Me. The Holy Spirit is in Me. He doeth the work." That was Jesus yesterday. That's Jesus today. That's Jesus forever. Amen.
Never be a boaster. "I belong to so-and-so." No.

L-23 "Not Me, the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the work." And if Jesus, the Son of God, never taken credit (credit, never taken glory) for healing sick, how could you expect a man to take glory for it? Any true spirit will speak of God and say Jesus is the Son of God, Who died for the person.
Now, look at Jesus again. I see Him. He goes through the pool of Bethesda. Many great multitudes of people, thousands laid there. Look what kind of people was laying there. The Bible says, "Lame, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water." For an Angel come down every month or two, and ever who stepped in the water first, got healed, if they had faith of whatever disease they had. Do you believe God sent an Angel? If you do say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] An Angel came down.

L-24 Now, a lot of aristocrats said, "They're--they're crazy. That's no Angel." But God was healing anyhow. God has always had a place of healing, since He's been God and man's been man. That's right. There's always been a preparation for healing since Genesis.
When He raised the brass serpent, they started worshipping that. He tore that down. Then He sent an Angel on a pool of water. And the--the history says it was terrible. For when the Angel went to moving on the water, the waters were troubled.
