<TITLE>22. Par 71-74</TITLE>L-71 A Jew come to Him, a staunch Jew, and another Jew had got saved and went and found him, about several miles around behind the mountain. Maybe took him a day's journey. When he come on, he said, "Come, see Who we found, Jesus of Nazareth, Son of Joseph."
And that staunch Jew, real good, full... Oh, I'd say a evangelical brother. He said, "Now, could there be any good thing come out of Nazareth?"
He said, "Come, see." They went arm and arm, walked up where Jesus was standing.
Jesus looked at him. Said, "Behold an Israelite, in whom there's no guile." How did He know him? He might be a deceiver. Might've been anything else but an Israelite and no guile, honest and upright. And it astonished him.
He said, "Rabbi, how did You know me?"
"Why," He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under that tree, when he come up, I saw you."
What did he say? "Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel."

L-72 Now, what did the self-starchy Pharisee said. They said, "He's a fortune-teller. He's Beelzebub, the chief of the devils."
And Jesus said, "You can say that about Me, and I will forgive you, but down in Shreveport, Louisiana (in so many words, or anywhere in the world), when the Holy Ghost is come and does the same things that you speak against It, it'll never be forgiven again you in this world or the world to come." You be the choice... You make your choice. See?
Christ has raised from the dead and is doing the same tonight that He did then. He didn't heal everybody He come to. I ask you to show me in the Bible where He healed everybody.
I show you where He went through a pool where the most crippled up masses of people that you ever seen or heard of: lame, halt, blind, withered, twisted, and everything else a laying. And went to a man that had an infirmity, thirty eight years, TB or something. He could walk around. Said, "Wilt thou be made whole?" The Father showed Him to go there. He hunted through the crowd till He found him. Said, "There he is." Said, "Will you be made whole?"

L-73 Now, watch. Jesus knew he was there and knew how long he'd been sick. Is that right? Said, "Take up your bed and go to the house." Walked right away and went... Multitudes, thousands times thousands of twisted, lame, halt, and blind. He did just as the Father showed Him.
And if that's what He did then, He will do the same thing tonight. Do you believe it? Then did everybody that was healed by Jesus, did He know they was going to be healed? No, sir. Many of them was healed upon their own faith.
Blind man followed Him one day; two of them. Saying, "Have mercy on us, thou Son of David; have mercy, have mercy." He just went on down the street, no vision, went into the house. They brought the blind man in the house. Said, "Have mercy on us."
He turned around to him and touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith (Is that right?), be it unto you." They believed, and their eyes were open.

L-74 One woman couldn't even get to Him. She just touched the border of His garment. He didn't feel it, not by His physical feeling, but He turned and told her, and she was healed. Said her faith made her well.
Many places in the Bible, certainly. It's based upon your faith. When the blind... When the epileptic child come to the Lord Jesus, the father brought him, said, "I brought him to the disciples and they could do nothing. Can You have mercy on us?"
And He placed it right back on the man. He said, "I can if ye believe."
Responsibility on him, he said, "Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief." Is that right? Then Jesus cast the spirit out of the boy. See? Jesus worked as the Father showed Him. Saint John 5:19. May He do the same thing here tonight and prove to you that He's raised from the dead.
