<TITLE>08. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Now, let's look. It's--and it--probably... There's two million Jews in--in Palestine then. Hundreds and hundreds of babies was born every night. And every day there's a string of mother's waiting for their babies to be circumcised. Now, look way down that long string. There's mothers, rich, well dressed, with their little babies in fine needlework, beautiful little clothes, and they're leading a lamb, going up for their offering.
But along the row, I see a little virgin. She can't afford a lamb, so she's got two little turtledoves. The baby is not wrapped in fine needlecloth; it's in swaddling's cloth. What is swaddling's cloth? It's what they take off the back of a yoke of a ox, and wrapped the baby in it. Think of it. The King of heaven, the Ruler of heavens and earth, didn't have clothes to put on when He was born. Don't be ashamed that you're poor. But she was standing there, the women keeping their distance. "I don't want around her." She was misunderstood, and so is Christians today. But she knew Who that Baby belonged to. And there was Jesus in the temple, the first time: the Son of God.

L-26 There, over in the corner in a little prayer room sits old Simeon with a promise that he would see Him. Now, they didn't send news then like they do now. They didn't have ways of sending news: radios, television, presses and... They just had from lip to ear. But the Holy Ghost was there. And Simeon was reading. And all at once the Holy Ghost said, "Simeon, stand up."
"Where must I go, Lord?"
"Just keep walking." Walking in the Spirit (Oh, hallelujah.), what a way: sons of God, led by the Spirit of God. Don't know where he's going, don't make any difference anyhow, God is leading. Here he comes out, goes over to this line of women, starts walking down. And he comes to that little virgin, about seventeen years old, married to a man about forty-five years old. She's holding the Baby wrapped in swaddling's cloth. Old Simeon, the tears running down his cheeks, running off his white beard, he reached over in her arms, picked up the Baby, pulled It up in his bosom, said, "Lord, let Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy Word, for my eyes see Your Salvation." Hallelujah. Led by the Holy Spirit.

L-27 And the same Holy Spirit, there's no two Holy Spirits. The same Holy Spirit created in Samuel a faith that believed that he'd see the Son of God. And when the Son of God was there, the Holy Spirit was under bondage, guilty before God, to lead Simeon to what He had promised him. And that same Holy Ghost has led you across Germany, here tonight, because you believe in Divine healing. He's the same Holy Ghost. Heavens and earth will pass away, but God's Word will never fail. Amen.
Now, you're at the Fountain. Embrace Him. Take Him as your Saviour. Take Him as your Lover. Take Him as your Healer. Do like Simeon. May your strong arms of faith embrace Him tonight and every promise He's given, for it's yours by promise. Amen.

L-28 Now, for the outsider, that--that hasn't been to a meeting before, Jesus Christ, He is alive today. Once more, never let this leave your mind. Remember, Jesus has risen from the dead. Some people act like it was a history. It's a living reality. Signs and wonders, great things that's never been known on the earth since the days of the apostles is a happening where? Right here.
Now. Wake up your conscience. Wake up your soul. He's here. Germany, it's your time; it's your hour of visitation. Go to church; love God; pray; stop sinning; give your love to Him. All your loyalty, give it to Him. It's your hour. Believe it.
