<TITLE>17. Par 59-62</TITLE>L-59 Now, we're going to put Jehovah-jireh to the test tonight. God said in His Book, His glorious Book, "Prove Me, saith the Lord." Test Him on any Word. Many here that's never been in the meeting before, let's see your hands if you haven't? They're about all has been here, I suppose, so you know, maybe one or two.
The Lord Jesus, the same yesterday, today, and forever, He claimed that He did nothing in Himself, but what He saw the Father doing. We all know that. We're aware of that. Said, "I can do nothing in Myself. I--what the Father shows Me, that I do."
He looked upon His audience; He perceived their thoughts. That's true. A woman touched His garment, went out in the audience, and He looked around till He found her. And He said, "Someone touched Me." They denied it. He told the woman that her blood issue had ceased. Her faith had made her well.
He told the woman at the well, her sins. See? He told Philip where he was before--or Nathanael before Philip called him. He told him he was under a tree. That's was all the fruits of His Messiahship.

L-60 Now, what is He? Listen at Him. "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he do also. More than this shall he do, for I go unto My Father. If He hadn't have made that promise, we could have done nothing. He wouldn't have represented Himself.
But look, we see it every now and then, that He did it. But He said, in one time doing it, He got weak, and He was the virtuous Son of God. I'm a sinner, saved by grace. How could I stand more than He did, because He said so.
Now, it says there, "greater," but no one could do greater. You look at the original and find out if it isn't more instead of greater. He raise the dead, stopped nature, controlled elements, and done everything. There's nothing you could do any greater, but rightly, it was more, because He could be all over the world at one time in His church. "More than this shall you do. He that believeth on Me, the works that I do."
Now, listen what He said, and solemnly remember. "A little while, and the world will see Me no more." Did He say that? "Yet..." Now, He just meant... What did He mean, the earth? No, He said, "The world..." The kosmos, the--the order of the world. "The World will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me (the church), for I will be with you to the end of the world." Is that right.

L-61 Now, what is the world represented there? Any minister knows it represents the order, the world order. The regular routine go to church, and--and go to work Monday, and go back next Sunday; that's the world order. "They shall not see Me no more."
You say, "See me?" Yes, sir.
"Why, we got eyes. You mean to tell us we're blind, Mr. Branham?"
Yes, sir. That's right.
"Well, I--I had my eyesight tested. It's 20/20." But you're still blind.

L-62 A man walked to me one time, that belongs to a church. He said, "I don't believe in you."
I said, "I don't want you to believe in me. I want you to believe in Christ."
Said, "I give you to understand; I'm a minister."
I said, "Then act like it."
And he said, "I wouldn't care what would take place; I wouldn't believe it."
I said, "It wasn't for unbelievers. It was for believers."
And he said, "Well then, I'm a devil. Smite me blind. Paul smote a man blind."
I said, "You're already blind. The devil's done made you blind."
He said, "I got good eyesight."
I said, "But you're blind. Jesus said, 'You got eyes and you can't see.'"
