<TITLE>09. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 I said to wife; I said, "Here's many things that I do not know, but there's some things that I do know." I said, "Since a little boy I have watched the sap in the wintertime, fall of the year, moves down out of that tree and go into the roots to hide itself and keep warm through the winter. I have seen it supernaturally in the spring move back up, bringing leaves with it and fruit. I have seen the flower in its beauty in the summer, bow its head in the winter to the frost and die, and the seed perish, and the pulp perish. And then I seen in the spring of the year, that flower rise back." I said, "I believe; I know they do that. I believe that the One Who is called Jehovah God, I believe that that Jehovah God does that. He operates nature. I watch Him with the pine tree, with the pawpaw tree, or with the birch tree, with the apple tree, and every one differing from another. And how that man, made in one way and another, all designed by a Mastermind... That was God." I said, "I know that."

L-31 "I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that in His body He was a man. He was borned of a woman just like I was. But His Blood was not of a woman; It was of God. And Jehovah God, the Logos, Who brood over the earth (in my message this morning), and brood the first man out of the dust of the earth, overshadowed Mary, and brood over her to fulfill His Word, and created the Blood cell that brought forth the Son of the living God. I believe in a body He was man. I believe in His soul He was God. He was God's manifestation here on earth. God was in Christ, reconciling Him--the world to Himself. I believe that He was not just a mere man, neither was He a prophet; He was God Emmanuel. I believe with all my heart, that being truth. I can't prove that truth, because the... If I could then it wouldn't be of faith.
But I know the trees come and go, I know the flowers come and go. I know all nature revolves, the world sets in its orbit by some great supreme power."

L-32 And another thing that I know, that by the grace of God, there's Something that comes to me in a form of a Angel, a Light. And He tells me things, what's going to happen. And I see it. I know that it's not natural. It shows me things years to come. And not one time has it ever failed. I believe it's the same God that was with Joseph, that was with Daniel, that was with Elijah. I believe that It's the same Holy Spirit that led the children of Israel by a Pillar of Fire. Therefore, I'm satisfied that there's something, that the Bible is right because every nature, everything that I call faith, everything that I watch that I could not prove, proves by this Bible that it is the truth."

L-33 I see Jesus; He was not what the Jews think Him to be. He--He fulfilled every requirement that the Messiah was to be. He was the Messiah. And I see the Spirit that was upon those men there, see It come right down here, do the same thing. Therefore, I have been a firm believer in the Word of the living God, no matter what fantastic arise.
I have went in the churches, and I say this with reverence now. I find that many times in the churches, I believe people get one another's spirit in the stead of the Holy Spirit. You go into a church and watch, where the pastor maybe jerks his head, the whole congregation will do it. You go into the church where the pastor says he's got oil running from his hands. The first thing you know, the whole company believes that, and they have it. Go into a church where there's a lot of dancing and jumping and running around. I'm not condemning these things; I'm just speaking from a--an observation to present a point to you. If you'll get a pastor that's very emotional, the whole congregation will be emotional. You get a pastor that's starch and stiff, and the whole congregation will be starchy and stiff. I believe you receive each other's spirit.
