<TITLE>16. Par 54-56</TITLE>L-54 Here some time ago I was setting talking to an old Methodist preacher, an old, good friend of mine, and we were just talking, and the Agricultural Hour come on, the little 4-H Club of Louisville, Kentucky, was talking about where they had invented a machine that could turn out grains of corn, that looked so perfect that it makes just the same kind of cornmeal that the original corn would make. It would make the same kind of cornflakes, and to take a handful out of the sack that the machine made and a handful out of the sack that was growed in the field and mix them together, you could not tell them apart. You'd take it into there, and you'd cut them open. They had the same amount of moisture, same amount of calcium, same... Every chemical was just in it exactly the same. They said, "There's only one way you can--you can tell them. Bury them. The one that man made has not a germ of life in it and will lay there. The one that God made has life in it, and lives again."
I said, "You'd better hold my hands, preacher, I'll embarrass you here as sure as the world."

L-55 There's two man can go to church and both of them act like Christians and so--this--they deacons on the board together, pastors in the pulpit together, whatever you might think, but one of them has life, and the other has not. And those that's got Eternal Life will raise in the resurrection with the Lord Jesus Christ, because Christ has raised from the dead, and He is alive among us tonight; and He is not dead. And our religion of Jesus Christ is not a vain philosophy but it's a living, present tense fellowship with the Holy Ghost, and Christ right here in the Church tonight, performing and doing, and blessing, shedding, and healing and manifesting Himself to prove He is alive among His people. Hallelujah. How wonderful. Let us pray.

L-56 Heavenly Father now, the Word... Faith cometh by hearing and hearing of the Word. We pray tonight that You'll manifest Yourself and let this audience, Lord... Someday we've got to answer and at the day of the judgment, if You will just come tonight and do the same things that You did then there'd--it would have to be a demon-possessed person that would turn their bowels of compassion away from Calvary, and walk away, and say it was wrong.
It would be like the Pharisees that stood on the day when they seen Jesus performing the work and told Philip and Nathanael when they come up, that where he was before he come, and told Peter a few minutes before that, that his name was Simon, and he was the son of Bar-jonas. And the Pharisees wanted to tell him he had Beelzebub. And we know that our Lord said, "I'll forgive you for that, but when the Holy Ghost is come and does it, it'll never be forgiven if you speak a word against it."
