<TITLE>15. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 And if Jesus could not do nothing in Himself, but had to wait to see what the Father would show Him to do. And the people in the audience, a woman touched His garment and went and set down, or went back in the audience... And Jesus said, "I got weak, virtue left Me. Who touched Me?"
The woman, with the rest of them, denied: Nobody touched Him. Even the apostle Peter said, "Lord, everybody's touching You, why say, 'Who touched Me?'?"
He said, "I got weak."
And those eyes searched that audience until He found the woman that touched Him. For she said in her heart... Now He couldn't feel it, physically, 'cause she just touched His garment and walked away. And He wo--virtue wouldn't have went out of Him with the physical touch; it was a spiritual touch. And He found her. And she'd had a blood issue for many years. And He told her her faith had healed her.

L-47 See, now He didn't see a vision for that. That was the peo--God--He was God's gift. God was in Him. And as He was yielded to God, to do the will of God, the people believing that, they spoke to God; and through His lips God spoke what the people's faith was. That's the reason He knowed the woman the well, and everything that He did; the Father showed Him. Like the resurrection of Lazarus...
Watch, that one little woman pulled virtue from Him by her faith using God's gift. But when God told Him in a vision to leave Lazarus' home and go away for four days, he was going to die, then come back and resurrect. You say, "Did He do that?"
He said, "He did nothing less the Father showed Him." And at the grave of Lazarus He said, "Father, I thank Thee Thou has already heard, by I said it for these that stood by." See? But He never felt no virtue go from Him there, because God was using His gift. God was using His Son to perform a miracle to vindicate...

L-48 There was three people raised in the days of Jesus. Thousands died, but three is a witness in the Jewish laws; three is a confirmation. "Mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established."
Now, but He didn't feel no virtue go from Him there, because-- greater was the miracle, but God had showed Him what to do. But this woman pulled the virtue from Him.
Now, Jesus cannot be here in a corporal body. Because when that body returns, the end time's here. "As the lightning cometh from the east, even to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess."
He can't be here in a corporal body, but He's here in a spiritual body, in the form called the Holy Spirit.

L-49 And God set in the Church first, what? Missionaries, or apostles; apostle and missionary, as I told you, taught you, is the same thing, "one sent." Apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelist, pastors, God set in the Church for the perfecting of the Church. That's Divine gifts that God foreordained and set into the Church. See? Those are for the perfecting of the Church. Jesus speaks through His pastor, speaks through His teacher, speaks through His seer, His prophet, speaks through His missionary to the countries, and so forth. That's His gifts that He's put in the Church.
Now, He's been with you a long time, but maybe you haven't never recognized It, as Philip and them did, or Cleopas. But when Jesus did something, just the way He did it when He was here with them, they--their eyes were opened, and they recognized that it was Him. I trust that He will do the same thing tonight.
Now, you--you Christians, you understand that there's critics in here; you're not all believers, and that you're life could not be hid in His Presence. But what I do is just yield myself to His Spirit. Just like this microphone, it's a perfect mute until something speaks through it; it can't speak itself, and neither could I, or any other man, unless God speaks through them. May the Lord bless.
