<TITLE>06. Par 25-29</TITLE>L-25 Now, you German people, here in this lovely land where there's lakes and things, rivers, the famous Rhine. You know what troubled waters is, you boatmen... When the... Troubled waters is when the current is going one way and the wind is moving in another way. Dangerous waters...
So when this Angel came down and begin to trouble the water, the first one in that had faith, all the virtue of the Angel went onto the man, and he was healed. And he went out rejoicing. And the Angel went back for maybe a month or two, but they waited patiently. And when the water would get troubled, they would fight one another with knives to get in.

L-26 Jesus come walking through that crowd, full of virtue. The woman had just touched His garment and had been healed. Here he comes walking in through that crowd. He walked by the blind. He went by the lame. He went by the halt, never touched any of them. And He went over to a man, laying on a little quilt, that had some kind of a disease. He could walk. He wasn't going to die with it. He'd had it twenty-eight years. It was retarded. And He walked over to that man, and He said, "Will thou be made whole?" Never said nothing to the blind, lame, and halt. Went over to this man that wasn't helpless, maybe prostate trouble or TB, something. It wasn't going to bother him too much. He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
Why, he said, "Sir, I have no one to put me in the water. While I'm coming, somebody beats me there."
Jesus said, "Take up your bed and go into your home," and then walked away and left all the rest of them.

L-27 What do you think in Jerusalem they thought about that? Here He was, Son of God, full of virtue, making sick well, and walked by a scene like that and healed a man that was almost well anyhow, and walked away and left the rest of them laying there. "And they say He was full of compassion?" Oh, my. That stirred up the church. They found the man packing his bed on the Sabbath. Then they called Jesus to question.
If He would come to this city tonight, that same attitude would be taken in any city in the world tonight. They would say this, "If He is a healer, let me see Him heal this one." See? The devil takes his man, but the devil returns in another man. See, the critics, they don't understand. They say, "Heal this one, and we'll believe you." That's the same spirit, said, "Come off the cross. Come down from the cross and I'll believe you."

L-28 Now, notice after Jesus was called in question... Now, listen close and read it. Here is the keynote. Jesus said. I've been quoting from Saint John 5, and now the 19th verse. Jesus answered the question, Saint John 5:19. Listen to what Jesus said. "Verily, verily..." that means "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." Amen. Do you see, it isn't in man. It wasn't in the Son of man. It's in God. No flesh glories in His Presence. Jesus said, "I can't do nothing until the Father shows Me a vision; and when I see a vision, then I do it." How many understand, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, let me say it again. Jesus said, "I can do nothing in Myself."
Now, let's suppose if they're just making somebody comfortable. Listen to this. This is life. This might mean your healing.

L-29 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Hisself. I only do what the Father shows Me to do. I see a vision, and then I go do what He shows Me." How many understands that? Hold up your hand. Thank you.
That was Jesus yesterday. That's Jesus today. That's Jesus forever. He can only do as God will show. He saw visions. Look at Him. Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus ever perform a miracle or do anything unless first God showed Him by a vision. That's His own Word. Amen.
"I only do what the father shows Me." Saint John 5:19. Now, He said, "These things that I do shall you also." How many's read that in the Bible? Say "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
