<TITLE>02. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 Now, if I taken a spoonful of water out of the ocean, why, you'd never miss it, the spoonful of water. Yet, if I took it to the laboratory, the same chemicals that's in the entire ocean would be in this spoonful, the same type of chemicals.
Well, that's the way the Christian is. His makeup after he's received Christ, is the same makeup with the same attributes that Christ was. Exactly. Because it's the spoonful of God, as would be measured out and give to each individual, makes you a son and daughter of God.
Now, Christ when He was here on earth... Let me just explain this as I tried last night. He said, "I..." The Son, talking about God's Son, Christ, that the Spirit dwelled in. "The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." The Father used the eyes of the Son; He used the lips of the Son. Now, He uses your eyes and your lips.
He said, "When you're brought before governors, and rulers, and kings, so forth, for My sake, take no thought what you shall say. For it'll be given to you in that hour. It's not you that speaketh, but My Father." God that's in you, He does the speaking. If you premeditate, then--then you do your own thinking. But if you're just willing to be the lamb, that the Dove will do the speaking... See what I mean? The Dove does the speaking.

L-5 Well, that's the same way, that He... See, how the Spirit of God runs right on down to the church? Now, now, watch here. And this will explain something else about the weakness. Now, when, Jesus said that He did nothing till the Father showed Him. Now, let's take for instance the resurrection of Lazarus.
Now, in the resurrection of Lazarus. Why, was it strange, Jesus had been right there with them all of His life? And all of a sudden He take a notion to go away. And He went away. He knew Lazarus was going to die. So then, after He was gone a few days, Lazarus took sick, and they sent for Him to come pray for him. He just went on, went to another city. They sent again. Still He never went. And after so many days, He said, "Our friend, Lazarus is asleep."
Then they questioned. "Let Him rest."
Said, "He's dead. And for your sake, I'm glad I wasn't there." 'Cause they would be try to persuade Him to do something against what the Father had showed Him.
Now, how many believes the Father had already showed Him what was going to take place? Had to be. 'Cause He said, "He did nothing till the Father showed it." Said, look, watch. Said, "But I go wake him." He knowed what was going to take place. The Father had showed Him.

L-6 Watch Him at the grave. "Father, I thank Thee, Thou has already heard Me. But for these that stand by, I said it. I don't have to pray, 'cause You done told me what was going to be done. But I--I'm an example to them." See?
I--Paul said, like in... Now, just a change of it slightly here. "All things to me are--are lawful, but not all expedient." See?
Now, Jesus didn't have to pray because He said, "Father, I thank Thee, Thou hast already heard. But for these who stand by, I said it for their sakes." See, see?
Then He said, "Lazarus, come forth." And a dead man that had been dead four days stood on his feet and lived again.
