<TITLE>18. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 Now, here's a lady, I--I guess I've never saw her in my life. We are strangers to each other. I don't know her, and we're meeting here for the first time. The woman may be sick. Maybe it's financial troubles; maybe she wants prayer for somebody else. I have no idea what she wants. She knows that. I know it. God knows it. You know it. The Holy Spirit knows it. Angels know it. I don't know nothing about the woman.
Now, what if--if Christ was standing here with this suit on that I got. Which He won't be, because His corporal body's in heaven, setting on the throne of God (That's right.) until all enemies, even death has made His footstool. It'll be until He returns.
But His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, God, that was in Christ has come upon us, and we're sons and daughters of God. Then, that same Spirit that made Jesus act in the manner He did, makes the Church act in the same manner He did. Do you understand it? Certainly. It's like gasoline in an engine, electricity.

L-71 Now, sister, if the Holy Spirit that was on Christ, has come to the church, and God has set the church in order by teachers, and evangelists, and pastors, and seers, and so forth, do you believe that to be the truth?
Well, then, here we are tonight as a man and woman like the Bible seen of Saint John 4: a man and woman, never met before in life, don't know each other; and here we stand for the first time. Now... But God knows you; He knows me.
Now, if I would speak to you just a few moments, just like Jesus did to the woman at the well, and then, God would reveal to me what you're here for, just like He did to the woman at the well, would you believe that that's His Word when He said, "The same things that I do shall you also." Would you believe it? Would you accept that you're standing in His Presence, not mine?
Would the church do the same thing? You newcomers that's never been in my meeting before, never seen it, I want you to raise your hand say, "If you'll do that...?"

L-72 I say to the woman here; I raise my hands. I've never seen the woman in my life, as far as I know. She might've seen me in the audience, but I don't know the woman. Is that right, lady? That's right. Raise your hand like that, just... We've never seen one another.
And you don't have to be up here on the platform. You, out there in the audience, look this way and believe, find out. Look and say, "Lord Jesus, I want to touch You. Let me. If this man's telling me the truth, confirm it to me tonight. I have a need, a certain-certain thing, Lord. If You'll use his lips to speak, which we are the branches; You're the Vine. You energize him to turn and tell me what my need is; I'll believe it with all of my heart." Put Him to a test.
"Prove Me," saith the Lord. That's the Scripture.

L-73 All right, sister. If He does it, then that's all He can do. It's up to the audience, whatever they judge it to be that's enough to you. Whatever they judge it, that's up to them. That'd prove God. God's innocent then because He's done it to fulfill His Word.
And what does He mean to... Because of you? No, sir. Because of me? No, sir. But because His Word said He would do it. Jesus said He come and did these things, that it might be fulfilled which is spoken by the prophet.
And that's what is being tonight is to be fulfilled. God don't have to do it, but He said He would do it. And He's obligated to His Word to do it.
