<TITLE>21. Par 73-75</TITLE>L-73 If you could be the woman with the blood issue or whatever you have, if you can look, and yield your spirit to Him without any confusion, no prayer card, no way of getting up here. But if you can yield yourself to Him, and I can yield myself to Him, and pray, "Lord Jesus, knowing that I've got to meet these people in the judgment and stand here on Your Word that You've raised from the dead..." See if He don't call you. See if He can't speak just like He always spoke. If you believe, that's the only thing you can do is have faith in God. He said, "If thou canst believe..."
Now, let us bow our heads just a moment. I'm going to ask the organist, if you will young lady, I want you just to softly chord, "Only Believe," while we have a word of prayer. I want everybody real quiet now.
I don't know. I'm just asking Him. If you've got a need now for God, be just as reverent as you can and believe. And if He will come tonight in this meeting, after this message... You got to answer for this message. You might not had to answer for it if you hadn't come to church tonight, but, yes, you're going to answer for it now. It's on your hands. You'll either have to wash your hands of it like Pilate did or you'll accept it.
Now, I spoke. That's a man. But I spoke of His Word. Now, He's God. He will confirm His Word. Let's just believe...?... God.

L-74 Now, heavenly Father, Thou Who knowest all things, that Your Word might be fulfilled... Here's a strange audience. I know none of them, but Thou does know them. And You Who could set there by the side of the well... The woman come to You. You talked to her a few minutes, and You told her, said, "Go get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
You said, "You got five."
She said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet; but we know that when the Messiah cometh (the Messiah) He will do these things. He will show us these things."
And You said unto her, "I am He." If that was the sign of the Messiah then, it's the sign of the Messiah today that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. We realize that, Lord.
When the staunched, straight Jew come named Nathanael, and You told him who he was, told him where he come from, he said, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God. You're the King of Israel."

L-75 But the unbeliever, many of them very religious, said, "That's Beelzebub. He's a fortuneteller."
And You said, "If you call the Holy Ghost that, it'll never be forgiven you in the world or the world to come."
And You said, "These things that I do shall you also." You know where the fish that had the coin in its mouth. You know where two mules was standing hitched where two ways parted. O God, You know just as the Father showed You. And You said, "The things that I do (and in the same manner, by the same God, of course,), it'll be done to the end of the world. Yet a little while and the world (the unbeliever), will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me for I (personal pronoun. Oh, God.)..." You said, "I'll be with you to the end of the world. I'll be in you," doing the same works, carrying on Your ministry.
You said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." Now, yield yourself and bear fruit, and I'll purge you that you might bear more fruit. And Father, I yield myself to Thee now under the mighty hand of the Holy Ghost, and ask that You'll help me and bless me, that I might show forth Thy resurrection to this people. And that we'll praise Thee in Christ Jesus' Name, we ask it. Amen.
