<TITLE>16. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 Now, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, if... How would we know that you touched Him? How would you know you touched Him? Now, if you got the same faith that woman had that touched His garment, can't you look to heaven tonight and touch Him? Wouldn't He speak back?
He doesn't have any hands, but ours. He doesn't have any voice on earth, but ours. How many knows that? You mean some of you don't know that? Sure, you do. What'd He say? "I am the Vine, ye are the (what?) branches." The vine doesn't bear fruit. It energizes the branches. The branches bears fruit. How many knows that? Saint John 15. "I am the Vine, ye are the branches." That makes... See? We lay our hands on the sick. He uses our eyes to see visions. He uses our lips to speak. He uses us to pack the Gospel. See? It's given unto His Church. And He's in His Church, manifesting Himself. And the people can see Him as He works in His Church.
Now, as I look down this line of people, are you all strangers to me? Raise up your hand. If--if I don't know you, just raise up your hands all along the line, everywhere? All right. How many out there knows that I don't know you? Raise up your hands. You know that I don't know nothing about you or anything, just raise up your hand, if you will. All right. Now, I don't know a bit more about you than nothing. But there's one thing sure; Christ knows every one of you. Is that right? He knows every one of you.

L-45 Then if you'll look this way and pray, and say, "God, I believe Jesus Christ. I believe. Although I might not understand it, but tonight I'm going to set my faith to believe it. And I'm going to say, 'Lord, I'm just going to put this before You. You said, "Prove Me," saith God, "if I'll not open the windows of heaven."'"
Now, you be sincere, and don't just make-believe, but really believe with your heart, and say, "Now, I'm not in the prayer line..." You might be it in a little while. But if you haven't got a prayer card, say, "Lord, let Him turn around, and You use his voice to speak to me, and I'll--I'll believe with all my heart." Would you put that challenge before God and just see what God would do? He will do it, friends, as certain as I'm standing here, 'cause He promised He would. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. All right.

L-46 Brother Sothmann, if you will. Now, if the pianist, if you will, sister, just real quietly, "Only Believe." Now, just get ourselves quiet just a little bit. Every one just remain in your seat where you are. Keep real quiet, and believe with all your heart now.
Now, just imagine, coming from the corridors of glory, coming down (where?) to fulfill His Word, "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst," to fulfill this Scripture, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. I'll... ('I,' personal pronoun, as I said), will be in their midst. They'll agree, and ask anything in My Name, I'll do it." Now, isn't that wonderful?
