<TITLE>21. Par 75-78</TITLE>L-75 Now, now, sister, I want to look at you just a minute. I want you to talk to me. Now, may the Lord do it. Now, I wish you would be real reverent now during the time of this especially, in this--this--line. Now, I don't say... This is my home town. It's been two times since I've been in the ministry that it's worked here at the Tabernacle. Why? Jesus said that a prophet in his own country, among his own people is not without... That's the only place he's without honor. Is that right?
When He went to His own country, they said, "Who is this guy anyhow? What school did He come out of?" See? And Jesus could not do many mighty works because of their unbelief.

L-76 Said, "Isn't that the carpenter's son? Isn't His mother here with us? Isn't Joseph the carpenter? Isn't His brothers and sisters here with us? Well--well, where'd He get this? What church does He belong to?" He didn't belong to any of them. Said, "Well, when did He get this wisdom?"
And Jesus made that statement, and it'll be the same thing today, and He said, "A prophet from then, will be without honor except among his own." Not you people here, but it's the environment of Jeffersonville where I was raised up. Every one knows all my good and bad points and everything, and most of them's bad. I'm sorry. But Jesus knows--don't know it. God doesn't. Jesus taken it all away, so God don't know nothing about it. He put them in the Sea of Forgetfulness when I confessed them twenty-three years ago, and He don't know no more about it now, does He? So it's--it's--it's God's blessings.

L-77 Now, I want to talk to our sister. Now, lady, this audience is a great thing. Here's two or three hundred people, or whatever it is here this morning. And you and I, being strange to each other, not knowing one another, never seen one another as far as I know, but... You--you have seen me? Yeah. Where was you at in meeting though? Down in Kentucky. Well, I mean I don't know who you are. No, that's right. No. Now, can you hear the lady all of you? I know nothing about her affairs. She was in one of my meetings in Kentucky. There we are then perfect strangers to one another.
Now, if the Lord Jesus... If I can get myself yielded to the Holy Spirit, and He can tell me something about this woman, or what she's here for, whatever it is, like the woman at the well or so forth, all of you has promised that you'd believe.

L-78 Now, lady, you in the wheelchair, do you believe that? Will you, Sister Edith? Will you, ever who the little lady, is can't get up over here, will you believe, sister, with all your heart? See? Now, will all of you in here that's got sicknesses of all kinds, will you believe? Now, then if you do that then you touch Him. See? You could touch me all day; it wouldn't make a bit of difference. See? You come, touch me and I wouldn't know it, but you just touch Him once, and watch Him turn around, and tell you about it. See? Just touch Him one time with faith. It's not... I'm not the one that's raising the dead. He's the One raised from the dead (See?), and I'm just His servant.
