<TITLE>10. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 Notice, again, He didn't claim to be a healer. He didn't say, "I'm going to heal you, come up here." When He went through a great mass of people and didn't heal but one man laying on a pallet; He'd been looking for him till He found him, then heal him and went away. Saint John 5, the 19th verse, when the Jews questioned. He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself."
"The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." It doesn't lay in man to do these things. It's in God alone can do it and not what man does. Oh, you can be mentally worked up; you can be in emotion. But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about a faith that was once delivered to the saints, that settled something. No matter how you feeled, or what sensation you have, you have any, or do not have none, it's settled on God's eternal Word. There's the faith that was once delivered to the saints.

L-38 Not that, "This brother prayed for me, and this one cast a devil out, and this done that, the other"; Mental emotions can do that. But when that real, genuine faith that God spoke the truth, it's settled in the person's heart. It's eternal.
Feeling has nothing to do with it no more. God said so. Then that faith is stabled. No matter what takes place, how you feel, whether you get sick or whether you do or not. That has nothing to do with it. It's that faith that was once delivered to the saints that they believe.
They seen the works of God. They knowed it was God. It was a vindicated to them. Jesus said, "If I do not the works of God, then don't believe Me." But He did the works of God. And He said, "I do not do nothing in Myself, till I see the Father do it first. Whatever I see the Father doing, then the Son does likewise." He said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." That was the Church. Christ left this that His Church would have His Spirit. And the Spirit of Christ will perform, and act, and live like Christ. Amen. How can we segregate ourselves, when Christ taught brotherly love, "By this all men will know you're My Church," when you've got love one for another.

L-39 Today we have little sensations, and little isms that breaks us up and separates, and little evidences, and little everything else that separates us. It shows that we've never come to that place where we're completely sold out to Almighty God and stand on the pillar of His eternal Word and say, "I now claim the faith that was once delivered to the saints," not from your lips but from your heart. Not an intellectual conception, but a borned again experience that makes you a changed creature, that's the faith that was delivered to the saints.
That's why you see people, some of them are on the housetop all the time. Others say, "Well, I was healed yesterday, but bless God, I lost my healing." You never had it to begin with. That's right.
When that Word is once anchored, all the devils in hell couldn't shake it away from you. "Upon this rock I'll build My Church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against it." That's right. What was it? The spiritual revealed truth of Jesus Christ.
Peter said... "Who does men say I the Son of man am?" Some said Moses and Elias and the prophets and so forth. And said, "Who do you say?"
Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
He said, "Blessed art thou, Simon, the son of Jonas, for flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you. You never learned it in a seminary. Neither did you learn it in any denomination. Neither did it come from a creed book. But My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you. And upon this rock I'll build My Church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against it." It was the faith that was once delivered to the saints. "The works that I do shall you also."
