<TITLE>16. Par 49-51</TITLE>L-49 Now, here's my contention: How many in here believes that Jesus Christ raised from the dead? To be a Christian, you have to believe that. But remember, two-thirds of the world tonight, don't even know nothing about it. They never heard the Name of Jesus. And I want to ask you something: Do you know the many religions of the world is far beyond Christianity? You know Mohammed almost doubles Christianity, Buddhism, and many of those isms and idols? But I've been right to them, where I've been challenged, and I've never seen a time but what our Lord Jesus come to the rescue and manifested Hisself. Read the articles in the books there; not time to talk of that.
But here's what I say: Now, Jesus can't come here in a corporal body. For when He comes in a corporal body, then the second coming of Christ will be every eye shall see Him, every knee bow, every tongue confess. But His Holy Spirit, which is called the Comforter in the Bible, was to come and do the same works that He did; because it's Christ in Spirit. Christ said, "I came from God. I go to God. A little while and the world (that's the people) will see Me no more (the worldly order). Yet, you shall see Me (that's the church), for I'll be with you to the end of the world, even be in you." And He said, "The works that I do, shall you also." Now, that's for the benefit of the newcomers.

L-50 Now, newcomer, listen closely before the prayer service. I want you to give me your undivided attention just a moment. I know it's hot, and I spoke at length; but I'm trying to get faith to the people. So that this... I'm not--just not up here to be seen or heard. I'm up here to represent something: Eternal Life that Jesus Christ could give to every one of you, and healing for your body. It's yours. The Bible promised it. I'm not responsible for nothing, but to preach the Word at He's put it here.
Now, to me, this is either right or it's wrong. And if it's wrong, I want nothing to do with it. If God's promises is not true, then He's not God. If He isn't raised from the dead, and just the same tonight as He was, then He isn't God. He's a history God, and not a resurrected God. He'd be just a dead as Mohammed, or Buddha, Confucius, or any of the others.

L-51 But notice, God promised that He would manifest Hisself in the church. Now, let's see what He did when He was on earth. Now, this is for the newcomers. When He was on earth, let's see what He did then. We see what He does now. Did He claim to be a healer when He was here on earth? No, sir. He was a preacher. The Lord anointed Him to preach the Gospel. He said so. Is that right? And then, did He say He was a healer? He said He wasn't a healer. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me. He doeth the works." And He said in Saint John 5:19, listen, Jesus' own word. He could not lie and be God. He said, "Verily, verily I say unto you: the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise."
Do you believe that's the truth? He left a whole bunch of people that was sick and afflicted. And He was questioned. Man packed his bed on the Sabbath. He healed one man with some little sickness or something, and left lame, halt, blind, withered. But He said, "The Father showed Him where to go to that." He done everything as the Father...
