<TITLE>13. Par 61-66</TITLE>L-61 I was speaking this morning with some Christian and ministers at a breakfast, this morning, early. How many of you ever read the article in the "Reader's Digest" of the healing of Donny Morton, the miracle of Donny Morton? About three years ago, the "Reader's Digest" packed it all over the world, my meeting out in California. Strange that Mrs. Pepper's article followed just before that. But did you notice the pro and con, how that God makes Himself known?
Now, don't be suspicious. Drop away all your--your thoughts and remember, it's the Bible. If I preach something that's not in the Bible then I'm wrong. If the smirit--Spirit misbehaves Itself some way that's not in the Bible, I'd be careful about it. But if it's in the Bible, It's the same Spirit was on them there. For He's the same.

L-62 Now, I believe, outside of, not criticizing the Roman Catholic, or Presbyterian, or Pentecostal, or any, I believe that this is God's foundation, the Bible.
In the Old Testament, there was three ways of knowing a message to be true. First was the law, of course. But then by a dreamer or a prophet. And they had what they called the Urim Thummim. Bible scholars knows what it was. It was Aaron's breastplate, had the twelve tribes and their stones in this breastplate. It was hanging in the temple. They brought the prophet before it and he prophesied, and told what was said. And if a supernatural Light didn't flash over that Urim Thummim, no matter how real it seemed, they refused it. No matter how real the dream seemed, if the supernatural Light wouldn't flash on the Urim Thummim, they refused it.

L-63 Now, when the Aaronic priesthood was done away with, that Urim Thummim was done away with. But God still has a Urim Thummim. And that's this Bible. And if a dreamer tells his dream, or a prophet prophesies, preacher preaches, and it's not in God's Bible, it won't flash on here, it's wrong to my opinion. But if it flashes, it's God saying it's the truth. The Bible said that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If He is, He's got to act in every way He did then or He's not Jesus Christ.

L-64 I want to ask you something. If He will do it tonight, as He did in Galilee, how many in this building will say by lifting up your hands, say this, "Dear God, it'll increase my faith. I'll try to live a better life and have more faith knowing that You're walking with us."? Would you raise your hands as a--a witness to God?

L-65 Now, heavenly Father, as Your tired servant, someday I'm going to preach my last sermon. I'm going to make that statement for the last time. I'm going to pray my last prayer. It'll all be over then. Then I'll have to meet You at the judgment.
And I pray Thee, most holy God and Father, that You will visit us tonight in a most unusual way. We are not those people who have to have miracles. We do not seek after miracles or signs. But it's because the that Word must be fulfilled. It is written in the Bible that Jesus did those things that the Word might be fulfilled. The Gentile generation is receiving its last call. The world is receiving its last call. And we feel, God, that You're near to move and to manifest Your love in this evening light. And we pray that You'll do it, Father.

L-66 Now, I submit my soul, body, and spirit unto Thee. And I pray that every person in here will be charged with faith in such a way, that the Holy Spirit will work miracles among us tonight, that might increase the faith. Some of these dear pastors, missionaries, and evangelists, driving many miles and setting here, just to get a little boost, O God, it's better than all the vitamins that the drug store could produce. It gives us Eternal Life. It gives us new hopes. And we long to see His blessed Presence, as David cried tonight in our Scripture lesson, "To see thy power as I have seen it in thy sanctuary, O Lord, my soul thirsts to see it." That's our prayer tonight that we offer to Thee, in Jesus Christ Name, Thy Son. Amen.
