<TITLE>04. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 Now, notice just a few moments. I want to say this before I start preaching, that the--the greatest need of healing tonight, and the sickest body that I know of in all of the world is the body of the Lord Jesus--the church. Oh, it is horribly sick. It is broke up and scattered. It needs a healing. May God send the Holy Spirit in such a power, till the whole body of Christ will be brought together, bond with love and unity. Until then you will see things happen that you never thought of before. Jesus will come, and it'll all be over.
Now, God usually meets with man, and He has on many occasion. He has set with men a few, and then He meets with large numbers. And in the counsel of men God has promised to meet. Now, one time He met with five hundred. Again He met with seventy. And again He met with twelve, then with three and even to one.
No matter how small the audience is, God will meet with you and meet your need. That is what makes Him God to me, because He humbles Himself. What a contrast. Man gave Him the lowest name that he could be given, "a prince of the devil, or Beelzebub." God gave Him a Name above every name that's named in earth or in heaven, things of the earth and heaven.

L-13 Man placed Him as low as they could put, even into the grave. And God exalted Him above every Angel, Archangel, every principality, until even He's so high that He has to look down to see heaven. That's the difference what man thought of Him and what God thought of Him.
So when does the highest become the lowest that He might redeem the simple man, you and I, back to the fellowship of God. So He in the counsel of men, no matter where it is or how many, if you have a need, He will come.
He crossed the stormy sea one night into the land of Galilee, because one maniac was calling for Him and had need. And as He was meeting that maniac, He... The people thought that it would cost them some hogs if they would have a revival, so they had Him to leave the land. And He always goes away when He's not wanted. So He turned back again to His own country.

L-14 On this occasion He had taken three men, Peter, James, John. Now, these three men represent love, hope, charity. Love--John, hope--James, I mean and faith, hope, and charity. And faith was Peter. That in the witness of these three, the Bible said, "In the mouth of three witnesses, let every word be established." And God was fixing to do something on this occasion that needed three witnesses for a--a sovereign fact.
And, oh, how He loves to establish His Word. Now, that could be many angles. And I know that many fine scholars here tonight would be more capable of doing this--this job rather than I. But really God...?... doesn't do anything just to be, as we would call it, the street expression, gadding around. God speaks considerably and every Word has a eternal meaning. You get it? Every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
And may I say to the weakest of saint here tonight, that it might help you. When Jesus was on earth, He was, all of the Godhead bodily dwelt in Him. He was God tabernacling in flesh in the Son. Jesus was just not a prophet. He was God.
