<TITLE>12. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 Now, if He can be touched by our infirmity, Jesus is here tonight in the form of the Holy Spirit. How many knows that Jesus is in the form of the Holy Spirit? He said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." Is that right?
Now, the vine doesn't bear fruit. The branches bear fruit. And the Holy Spirit, which is the Vine, is in here tonight purging the Vine. Then what kind of a fruit would the Vine bear? Bible fruit, certainly.
Now, if you touch Him, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, He can be touched just like He was then. And now, if God in His grace, by a Divine gift... If we have newcomers here... So I'll quote a couple of Scriptures that you might understand.
Jesus did not claim to be a healer. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the healing." Jesus said, "I do not do one thing until the Father shows Me first what to do. I see the Father doing it, then I go do it as He has showed Me." How many knows that's--that's Saint John 5:19? Certainly it is. He done nothing until the Father showed Him what to do.

L-48 Well, what did the Father show Him? Let's just see it for the newcomers, just a few things the Father showed Him. One day Simon Peter came to Him, Jesus had never seen him. He said, "Your name is Simon, and you're the son of Jonas; so I'm going to give you a name of Peter." How many knows that? Knew his name.
He knew where a fish was that had a coin in his mouth, and had Peter go to catch it. How many knows that? He knowed where some mules was hooked at where two ways met. How many knows that?
When Philip went and found Nathanael under a tree praying, brought him back to Jesus, Jesus said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
Said, "Rabbi, when did You know me?"
Said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
He said, "You're the Son of God, the King of Israel."

L-49 The woman at the well, I quoted a few minutes ago, He asked her for a drink to get a conversation with her. And she told Him that the well was deep. After while He found where her trouble was, said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I have none."
Said, "That's right. You got five, and the one that you now have is not yours. And thou saidst well."
Look at this Samaritan. She said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet. But we know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things." But she couldn't understand Who He was. He said, "I'm He." And she believed it. And she run, and told the men, and caused a revival to strike the city.
But the Jews said, "He's Beelzebub, the devil, the fortuneteller." Jesus told them He'd forgive them for it, but said when the Holy Ghost come and did the same thing, to speak a word against It, it would never be forgiven, in this world or the world to come.

L-50 So then Christ promised, Saint John 14, for His Church, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he do also." Is that right? The same kind of works... "More than this shall he do; for I go to My Father." That Scripture must be fulfilled. He would call one now and then in the audience, but He said, "You'll do more than this; for I'm going to My Father." Purging the gifts and putting them into the church, He ascended on high, give gifts to men.
He said, "A little while..." Listen at this striking statement. "A little while, and the world will see Me no more." That world there means "the world order." Now, from His day until He comes, there'll be tens of thousands of people, no matter what would ever take place, they would never see it. That's right. Jesus said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if I do the works of My Father, believe the works." See?
