<TITLE>15. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 Now, we believe that Christ died and rose again. You believe that? I believe the Bible teaches He's the same yesterday, today and forever. You believe that? Then if He is the same, He's got to be everything the same except the corporal body. Now, that Body, when It comes, time shall be no more, how many knows that? Yes, when Jesus comes in His literal Body... But He come now in the form of the Holy Ghost. And He lives in His Church. He--we said, "We are the branches and He's the Vine." He just stands in us in Spirit manner, and feeds the gifts of the church. How many knows that? And He said, "The things that I do, shall you also." Did He say it? What did He do?
He never claimed to be a healer. How many knows that Jesus never claimed to be a healer? All right. Jesus said, "It's not me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." He said, "I can do nothing except My Father shows me first." How many knows that? That's right.

L-58 Passed right through a pool where there's thousands of people laying blind, halt, and withered, never touched a one of them. What if He done that in Phoenix tonight? He'd be criticized. He was then. He found a man laying on a little pallet, and He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
He said, "I have no one to put me in the water." He could walk; he wasn't crippled, nor blind. He had some kind of a trouble, maybe a prostate trouble, or tubercular; it was retarded. He had it thirty-eight years, wasn't going to kill him.
So he said, "I have no one to put me in the water. When I'm coming, somebody else steps down ahead of me."
He said, "Take up your bed and go to your house." Watch, He was looking around there till he found that man.

L-59 Why, the Jews questioned Him. And He said, "Verily, verily I say unto you," Saint John 5:19, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." Is that what He said? Saint John 5:19, look in your Bible. Jesus never performed one miracle without God showing Him, first, what to do, or He told something wasn't right, and then He wasn't God. "Verily, verily (that's absolutely, absolutely), I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise. The Father worketh, and the Son worketh hitherto." That's right.
And we want to believe. We want to have faith. We want to believe that God will grant these things to us. And if He will come and present His Life here to us again, just the way He did it when He was here on earth, how many will accept it then. Say, "I believe it." Now, what is it?

L-60 Of course you've been here with me for two weeks now. I don't claim to be a preacher; I mean (what I mean) a theologian preacher. I just love to talk about the Lord. But my gift is seeing visions. It's nothing nobody laid hands on me for. I don't believe you do that. "Gifts and callings are without repentance."
When I was born, just a baby, not over three minutes old, that Light stood over where I was. My people are Catholic; you know that. I come from a Catholic family, Irish. Both mother and father, my mother was--the blood was broke there. My mother was almost a half Cherokee Indian. That's right. If you'd see my mother walk across this platform, you wouldn't know her from an Indian. That's exactly right. She shows it; anyone who knows her knows that's true.
