<TITLE>09. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 I looked down that long line of students, and I said, "Well, what will the Lutheran church say?"
Said, "We don't care what the Lutheran Church wants. We want God."
And I said, "Do you mean that you want to receive the Holy Ghost?"
Said, "How do you do it, Brother Branham?"
I said, "Scoot your plates back, and kneel along side of the wall."
And seventy-one students, and the dean, and all received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and they're having signs, wonders, and miracles. What's his name, Brother Moore? Aegery? Brother Aegery, the dean of the college.
I was up there a few days ago, and they're having signs, and wonders, and healings, and going on. Now, he's getting a--a group set, when I come back from Canada this trip, to come by, and just have two day's solid meetings with just deans of Lutheran colleges.
Oh, brother, Pentecost is not a denomination, it's an experience that belongs to everybody. It's what we need. And Pentecost is nothing but the vindication of a resurrected Lord Jesus, which is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That's what it is. I know it's been misused. It's been misconstrued, and so forth, and impersonated. But that only shows out the real Christ much better to me. If you see a bogus dollar, means there's a real dollar.

L-31 Now, notice, now when Jesus was here on earth, if we want to find out what He was, and see if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, when He was here on earth, did He claim to be a healer? No, sir, no. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." That right? And then He said, "Verily, verily (Saint John 5:19)... Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself; but what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise." How many ever read that, Saint John 5:19?
Then Jesus, Who could not lie, being God incarnate here on earth He could not lie, and He said that He did nothing until God, Who was in Him, showed Him first what to do. Now, that's either the truth, or it isn't the truth. I believe it's the truth.
Verily, verily I say unto you (Saint John 5:19): the Son can do nothing in Himself (He's talking of the man.), but what I see, not what I hear, what I see the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise."

L-32 Notice, now let's go back and find out what He did. And then, if we could find out what He did, and then, He will do this coming two weeks, in here in this building, what He did then, oh, we should be the happiest people on all the earth. Because that He Who gave us the promise of Eternal Life is alive and with us tonight to confirm that promise. What a wonderful thing.
Let's follow Him just for a moment now. And then tomorrow night we'll pick it up from a--a--a different place. Let's follow Him for a moment. Let's take Saint John's Gospel, the 1st chapter and begin with it. And then, tomorrow night maybe we'll go to another part in the Bible. Let's take Saint John 1st to begin.
When He came on earth... We know His birth story, how He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. And that first little form of life, Blood Cell, was brought into Mary without any--any earthly person having anything to do with it. And the cells begin to develop, and He was born. The Angels sang and so forth. And we have no record of His ministry from twelve on till about thirty.
