<TITLE>22. Par 74-77</TITLE>L-74 Now, in the Bible... for the sake of those who are--was here for your first time. In the Bible Jesus Christ never prom--never claimed to be a healer. How many knows that say, "Amen." He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works. It's My Father that dwelleth in Me." Is that right?
He passed through crippled, afflicted, blind people, wouldn't heal them, went over and healed a man laying on a pallet, because the Father had showed Him that. He said so. He knew the man was there, and then in Saint John the 19th chapter--or the 19th verse of the 5th chapter, He said, that, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can't do nothing in Himself till He sees the Father do it first." How many's read that? Let's see your hands, know...
Now, that's enough Scripture to prove it. See? Jesus Christ, the Son of God, couldn't lie. If He does, He wasn't the Son of God. So He said, "I do nothing in Myself until the Father shows Me by a vision first what to do. Verily, verily (That's absolutely, absolutely,) I say unto you: I can do nothing in myself, but what I see the Father doing." Is that true? Then He never performed one miracle until the Father showed Him. It's by vision.

L-75 A woman touched His garment one time, got healed. He said, "I never done that." She touched His garment and run out in the crowd, and set down, stood up whatever she was. He said, "Who touched Me?"
She said, "I didn't."
Nobody... Everybody said, "No, not me."
He said, "Somebody touched Me, now, 'cause virtue went out."
Peter said, "The whole crowd's a touching You. Why say, 'Who touched Me?'"
He said, "But I got weak." And He looked around till He found the woman, and He said she had a blood issue. He said, "Thy faith--thy faith hath healed thee." Is that right? No. "Thy faith hath saved thee." Well, the same word "saved" is "healed" ever time in the Bible. The Greek word is "Sozo." Is that right? Sozo. Physically or spiritually the same word: "Thy faith has saved thee." See?

L-76 Touch some blind man's eyes as they followed Him. "Lord, have mercy on us." He didn't have no vision. He just went on, went in the house, and they come to Him. "Lord, have mercy."
He touched their eyes and said, "Now, according to your faith, be it unto you." No vision (See?), just as the Father showed Him. All right.
Now, if Jesus will arise here tonight... I claim that He's the same. He said, "These things that I do, shall you also." Is that right? Greater... The word really isn't to our translation, not greater but more. You couldn't do greater in qua--quality. He healed the sick, raised the dead, stopped nature, done everything. See? So you couldn't do nothing but in quantity. "More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father. A little while, and the world won't see Me no more. Yet you shall see Me, for I will be with you, in you, to the end of the world."
Now, if He's raised from the dead, He's got to act the same way, the same God, the same Person, the same power, the same visions, everything just exactly like He did it the first time. If He didn't, why, then His Words are wrong. That's a statement.

L-77 Where would you find it in the world today? But Christ is obligated to His Word. He's got to keep His Word. He kept It with Abraham. He's got to keep it with Abraham's seed. He's got to do it. He has to present it, then it's whatever you think about it determines what you get. But He's obligated to at least one time present it to you, so that you'll be without an excuse at that day.
