<TITLE>11. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 He told Joshua, "Every place the sole of your foot treads, that I have given you." Footprints meant--meant victory, and it's the same thing tonight. If you're paralyzed and can't wiggle a finger, say, "God, I want to wiggle a finger." That's right. "You promised me I could do it, and I'll lay there and wiggle till I do wiggle it." That's right. God made the promise. "God, You told me I could put my foot on the floor, and here it comes. Here it comes. Yes, Lord, it's a coming." Just keep on till you do put your foot on the floor. That's it. Fight for every inch.
Things is handed to you. That's what's the matter with the American people tonight. You've got everything handed to you, well fed, fattened, and clothed, and everything else. You don't have no need for nothing, but don't realize you're miserable, wretched, blind.

L-41 Them poor heathens over yonder that don't have a change of clothes, coming in the meeting, by the tens of thousands perfectly nude, let them see the works of the Holy Spirit, God's Word made manifest, they'll believe it with all their heart and accept it. They accept it in virgin soil. They accept it in the heart because they believe it.
But oh, my, we've had too much different types of fertilize. It sets up a chemical reaction. (What did I say?) That's right. Yes, it won't grow the food right. Just let it come in virgin soil. "Lord, I dump it all out, and I'll just take You." Put them in the Word and find out if the Word won't be made manifest.
You believe God is in His Word, God keeps His Word? Certainly He does. He will do just exactly what He promised you.
Now, God's in His universe. You believe it? God's in His Word? You believe it? All right let's see if God is in His Son.
Now, the Bible said that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. We believe that. We believe that God was in His Son, Christ Jesus. Someone says, "Oh, He was just a prophet." No, He wasn't. He was God. Absolutely. I believe we went through that the other night, that we know that God was in His Son. No man could do the works that He did. No man can speak like Him, no man. When He was here on earth, He looked like God, He acted like God. He preached like God. He healed like God. He rose from the dead like God. He proved He was God. That's right. God was in His Son.

L-42 A guy the other night said, a woman that don't believe, a group of people that doesn't believe that He was a virgin born child. I believe that He was virgin born, that the Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary, and she conceived by the Holy Spirit, that the Creator God created a blood cell in the woman's womb and brought forth the Son Christ Jesus which was the dwelling place, a tabernacle of Almighty God, that He came Hisself. The Word from the beginning was made flesh and dwelt among us. And He was in the beginning the Word, and the Word was flesh and dwelled among us.
This lady said to me, just not to repeat, but it would stand it. This lady said to me, "If I can prove to you by God's Word that He wasn't nothing but a prophet..."
I said, "If the Bible said He wasn't nothing but a prophet."
She said, "In Saint John the 11th chapter, the Bible said when He went down to the grave of Lazarus He wept. That showed He wasn't Divine. He wept."

L-43 I said, "Yes, He did weep when He went to the grave of Lazarus. That's right. But when He pulled them little stoop shoulders up, looked into the face of that grave, and said, 'Lazarus, come forth,' and a man that'd been dead four days, corruption knew its Master, the soul knew its Creator, and it give it up; and a man that'd been dead four days stood on his feet and lived again."
Brother, he was four day's journey somewhere. I don't know and neither do you. But anyhow I know that Jesus Christ knowed him by name and raised him from the dead.
I believe that every man that He knows, as His own, someday He will scream from the heavens and the whole earth, and the sea will give up their dead and stand in His Presence.
