<TITLE>21. Par 63-65</TITLE>L-63 Now, here's a lady standing here, if you wish to, you can come up just a little closer, lady. You and I being perfectly strangers to each other, I suppose, first, time we've ever met, or been this close together in life... If that's so, raise up your hand. Now, the woman's standing here for some purpose. I don't know. God knows I don't know. But He knows this woman. And now, what if it was exactly the same thing, if this woman was just like the woman who came to the well where Jesus Christ was setting up against the side of the wall. What would He do to this woman?
Now, what if the woman's sick? She might not be. But what if she is sick? Her... If Jesus was standing here with this suit on, that He gave me, could He heal the woman? Be careful. No, He couldn't. He couldn't do it twice. He's done it once when He died at Calvary. Do you believe that? See? You wasn't saved last week. You wasn't saved five minutes ago. You were saved nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus paid the price for it. You accepted it five minutes ago (See?), same thing with healing.
Now, but if He being the resurrected Son of God, and He was standing here in a corporal body like mine, He would say to the woman, the woman, say, "Oh, Jesus, I want You to heal me."
You know what He's say? "I did that when I died for you, don't you believe My vicarious suffering and death at Calvary, That I was wounded for your transgressions, with My stripes you were healed? That's all He could say. If He done anything more, He'd break the Gospel. Is that right, ministers? He'd break the Gospel. He couldn't. It's already finished.

L-64 Everything a Christian has, it's his faith resting in the finished works of Calvary. Everything was finished and completed, and we rest our faith in the finished work. Any gift that says anything different from that, don't believe it; it's not of God. 'Cause there's where the price was paid. There's where everything was finished, right there.
But now, He set gifts in the church. Now, if this woman... Me talking to her, is to carry a conversation like Jesus...[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
The Angel of the Lord...?... I seen it here this morning on something. Have you gone one here, sir? It's in one of the pictures? Have you got one, Gene? That's just a portion of It on there, sonny. That was taken; it's just the end of It, one's that we've got on the pictures of Him; we won't sell on Sunday, that's all. But we got It here; It hangs in Washington, DC and copyrighted, and It was taken in Houston, Texas. It was taken again in Germany, was taken again at Little Rock, Arkansas. And It's been taken many times.

L-65 And that same Angel of God is not five feet from where I'm standing right now. That's right. That's the reason I feel satisfied He hears me. See? I wouldn't make a challenge like that, if I didn't know He was here. But making a challenge like that, with the purchased of Christ's Blood before me, you have to know what you're speaking of.
Now, if He speaks, then that's Him. You can doubt me; that's all right. But if you doubt Him, you'll repent for it, or never see Him. That's right. And if you made fun of it, or criticized it, there's never forgiveness in this world or the world to come, said Jesus. Now, that's a serious thing to think.
