<TITLE>10. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 Now, we have a great ministry out, the ministry of the forerunning of the coming of this ministry that's coming on now. John the Baptist went forth preaching repentance. And he really preached it. He shook the political world of that day. John did. He went forth. He was anointed with the spirit of Elijah. And he went forth and preached. He didn't do any miracles at all. He never said anything against them. But he went preaching. And he brought the whole nominal world, he shook them, because all the regions around about come out to hear him. And immediately after his ministry got on his go real good, there come the ministry of the Lord Jesus in performing miracles, both of it's in the world today. Amen. And the great climax is at hand. The great warfare between the devil and God is going on, and the scene is being set for the final front lines where the--the clash will come; and God will reign and rule, for the Lamb was with them, overcome them. For He's Lord of lord and King of kings, and He will ride down every opposition. Amen.

L-27 Notice. They walked along. They didn't know Him. And He begin to explain to them. Oh, could you just imagine how they listened, along the road. Then when they got down to the place, where just about getting sundown, they come in to a little place called Emmaus. And along there was a little hotel, a little restaurant, on the side of the road, maybe, a little adobe house. Much adobe was in the lands in those days. Yet, it is. And then we see this little restaurant setting there. And they begin to listen to that Fellow and said, "Say, I kind of like the way He explains that." Said, "Come and abide with us."
Now, first He act like He was going to pass right on by. Now, and a lot of times He does that. That's right. Some of you people here tonight with cancer, the doctor says, "Can't do no more." Heart trouble, doctor says, "Can't do no more." Cripples, doctor says you can't walk. It seems like He just going to pass you by, but He's not. No.
Now, get the lesson. "But they constrained Him." Said, "Come in and abide with us." That's what it is; that's the idea. He knew He was going in all the time. But He wants you to ask Him. Amen. That's your part to ask Him. Said, "Come and abide with us. Oh, the day's far spent." It is, isn't it? "Come and abide with us."
"Well," He said, "maybe I better just go on."
"Oh, no, You mustn't go on. Oh, we love Your words. You explained the Scripture to us, so we... You must come and abide with us." So when they got Him in, inside...

L-28 Now, that's it. Get Him inside of your heart. And then as soon as the door was closed, the outside world shut off, then He opened their eyes. And that's what He will do to you, if you'll ever let Him come in; shut the world outside, shut all the unbelief off, then He will open your eyes, if you'll only come in--let Him come in. Bring Him into your house. Bring Him into your heart. Bring Him into you. And when you do, then say, "Now, look, in the meeting tonight I'm going to shut all my unbelief outside." Now, listen close and watch me. "I'm going to shut all the unbelief outside, all the superstitions I ever had. All the difference, I've ever had in my life, I'm going to shut them all outside. And I'm going to say, 'Jesus, You come into my house now. Come into here with me.'" And when you do, close the door and say, "Now, Satan, you can't come in tonight. I'm having Jesus here; I'm going to entertain Him." Now, Satan is unbelief.
So you say, "I'll just shut the door off now. And you... I'm in here with You, precious Jesus."
