<TITLE>02. Par 9-18</TITLE>L-9 Now, all those soldiers that was with Paul did not see the Light. Then is it possible that one can see It and the others won't see It? Certainly. All right. He, Paul, saw It, but the rest of them did not see the Light.

L-10   Now, when Peter was in prison, we find out this Light came in the jail, opened up the doors. And he was... That Light blinded the rest of the guards, as they walked out, Peter going. And when he got to the door, it just opened itself, quietly, closed behind him. From the inner jail, he went to the outer door. It opened by its own self, closed quietly. And then he went to the gap, went out into the city street. And he rubbed his eyes, as if to say, "Was I dreaming?" He didn't know what had happened. But, the Angel of the Lord, the same Angel that was the Pillar of Fire that walked Moses to the sea and spread her forth, oh, and the Dead Sea... the Red Sea walled up on both sides, and Israel passed over.

L-11 And when they come to the swelling Jordan, He did not make Hisself visible there. But He was there, 'cause He just opened it up. And they went across in April, when the plains are all full of the water. And He stayed the spring, and He stayed the snow from melting, 'cause it didn't wall higher and higher; it just stopped. That's our Jehovah. That's our Lord Jesus. Just stopped; and they walked across on dry land.

L-12   Now, God promised that He would take care of them, so He was obligated to His Promise. Now, Paul, ware of these things, and knowing them, he was privileged, because God was speaking directly to Paul. He wasn't speaking to the soldiers that was with him. He was only speaking to Paul.

L-13 Now, when the--when the Angel of the Lord came down, in the form of a star; and the star-gazers, the wise men of India, when, they saw that Star and followed It for hundreds of miles. And It went over every observatory, 'cause they kept the time by the stars. And no one saw that Star but the wise men. Oh, my! Doesn't that thrill you? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-14   Then, you see, God doesn't deal with organizations. He doesn't deal with groups of people. He deals with individuals. He reveals Himself to individuals. And now--now to say this, not this... God knows my heart. And not to say this for own person, personal praise, now; just to be there. But, did you know, that same God, that same Jesus, is with us this morning? Do you know, each one of you has a little, individual witness of it right now, that He's here? And is... He's done something for us in this day that He didn't do in the other days; He had His Picture taken in this day. We got It hanging right there. See? The Pillar of Fire, the same Lord Jesus.

L-15 Watch how He works now. If He's the same Lord Jesus, He will do the same things, for the Bible said, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-16   Now, before Paul would announce anything, whether this was right or wrong, he first went down into Egypt and spent three years, to find out if it was Scriptural or not. Did you ever know that? After Paul's conversion, he went to Egypt for three years. There he abode, and there is where he learned this great wisdom.

L-17 Now, not in any comparison at all, I'm just giving you how the Holy Spirit still remains the same. Now, my church here remembers, years ago, when this Angel would appear and would show things. I was a little skeptic of It. All of you know that, you old-timers. If you... If that's right, raise up your hand, when you've heard. Yeah. Look, look at the church, yet, from the old-timers. See? I was skeptic, because preachers told me It was of the Devil. And I kind of believed it, but I waited. I wouldn't say nothing about It.

L-18   But, oh, blessed be the Name of the Lord! One night, yonder, He come down, an Angel, and revealed It in the Scriptures, that He was. And when I seen It in the Scriptures, then to blast across the world with It, the Message.
