<TITLE>14. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 He was a man when He come down off the mountain, hungry, looking over a tree to find something to eat. He was a man hungry. But when He took five biscuits and two pieces of fish and fed five thousand, that was more than a man. That was God speaking through that man. He was the master Diamond.
He was a man when he laid out there on the ship that night with virtue out of Him from healing and preaching through the day, until the ten thousand devils of the sea swore they'd drown Him. And that little old ship like a bottle stopper out there on that sea, the devil said, "We got Him." And the helm broke, and the sails down, and the oars gone. And they woke Him. He was a man asleep. But when He put His foot on the brail of the boat, looked up and said, "Peace be still," and the winds and the waves obeyed, that was more than a man speaking. That was God speaking out of His Son. He was deity.

L-47 When He died at Calvary, calling for mercy, He was a man calling for help. But on Easter morning when the seals of death and the grave was broke, He rose; He proved He was God.
No wonder the people will say:
 Living, He loved me; and dying, He saved me;
 Buried, He carried my sins far away;
 Rising, He justified, freely forever;
 Someday He is coming--oh, glorious day.
Every man or woman that's ever amounted to a hill of beans in this world has been men and women who's believed Him to be deity. Certainly. Ask the poet; ask the prophet; ask Abraham Lincoln; ask George Washington; ask old, blind Fanny Crosby, "What does He mean to you?"
She said:
 Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
 Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling,
 Do not pass me by.
 Thou the stream of all my comfort
 More than life to me.
 Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
 Or whom in heaven but Thee? Amen.

L-48 There He is. He's deity. He was Emmanuel, God in the Person of His Son. God couldn't use His gift. He didn't complain of being weak when God used His gift. But a little woman right after that, right before that, she wanted to use God's gift. So she sits up, and she said, "I believe Him to be deity. I believe He's what He says He is; the Son of God." So she said, "I've had this blood issue here for many years." About eighteen years, I believe the Scripture says. I'm not mistaken on that--twelve years. She had this blood issue for twelve years. The doctors had failed.
And the critics were standing by, and the pastors and the deacons standing that morning. And here come the little woman squeezing around. "Here, you mean to tell me you're going to become a holy-roller? Why, you go back up." She just brushed him aside. She had her heart set on meeting Jesus.
So brushing aside everything that was contrary, She got to where He was. She touched His garment and turned around, walked back. Jesus stopped, said, "Who touched Me?" He said, "I don't know who touched Me." What was it?
God hadn't showed Him nothing. That's right. But the woman's faith had touched that gift. He said...

L-49 But Peter rebuked Him, said, "Everybody's touching You."
He said, "But I got weak. Virtue went from Me, somebody touched Me." And He looked around, then where that weakness was coming from, a stream of current of spirit picked out the little woman where she was setting. How real. "Thy faith has saved thee."
Now, to you people who don't believe in Divine healing, the greek work used there is "Sozo," saved, physically saved. Just the same every time, it's translated the same thing, "Sozo," both physical and spiritual. She was saved from her blood issue. "Thy faith has saved thee."
What was it? The woman, with her faith, had contacted God through the Son of God, and had drawed from the Son of God her desire. That was a woman using God's gift.
On the platform of God's solemnly, gives a vision. Now, you said there that in that instance, He said that, "I got weak." But how much greater a miracle was it when God used His gift? Here it is. It's like a...
