<TITLE>02. Par 10-20</TITLE>L-10   And we find that that same Lord Jesus, in these days, is still in that Pillar of Fire (Light) that's leading His people (His Church), performing the same thing, giving visions; come in and lay hands on the people, by a vision. The Lord Jesus, Who met last Sunday morning at the house, and said, "There was a man coming, black-headed, graying. He was a Greek. His wife was middle-aged, and would be weeping at the altar."

L-11 Some of them had told it, and know it was happening. He was both crippled, the--the balance nerve in his head was gone. He couldn't even have control of his feet or his limbs. And he was blind. And to make it double proof: I had a little lady to come pray for the sick, first, then turned back around and had Brother Toms to come pray. And we, setting here, watching it develop. And then I went down and prayed for the sick, and walked back. And she come, just exactly according to the vision, and caught me by the arm and begin weeping, and said Dr. Ackerman had sent them here. Dr. Ackerman is a bosom friend of mine, Catholic. His boy is a priest at the monastery at--at Saint Meinrad, and down in Indiana. And this man was from Jasper. And the Lord healed him, out of that chair. He got up and walked. He could see as good as anybody else. And walked out of the building, normal and whole. All by a vision!

L-12   "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus that appeared to you in the way, has sent me that I might lay my hands on you, that you might receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost." Wonderful.

L-13 "Then we find out, seeing that we have this great salvation, we should not... We could not escape the penalties and wrath of God, if we neglect such a great salvation."

L-14 Now we're going to start reading, tonight, out, and begin the 4th chapter of the Book of Hebrews. If anybody wants to follow along, we got some Bibles here. If they wanted one, why, one of the ushers will bring it to you, if you hold up your hand, these--these Bibles. If one of the brethren here will take... There's two Bibles laying there, I believe.

L-15   And now we'll hurry, because we have communion after a bit. And where we get done tonight, Wednesday night we begin again. Now, I believe, this morning in our reading, we began on the 15th verse.

L-16 Somebody, maybe not know me putting on glasses, to read by. I'm getting old. And I can still read, but I can't pick it fast, especially when I got fine reading here, fine print.

L-17 And I went to have my eyes examined, to see if I was really losing my sight. My eyes were ten-ten. He said, "But you're past forty, son." He had a thing for me to read, said, "Start reading that." I read it. And I kept getting closer, it got slower and slower. And it got about like this, I stopped. Then he put out there for ten-ten, I could read it anywhere. But he said, "What it is, when you pass forty, your eyeballs get flat."

L-18 Now, I can squint my eyes and read just that close to me, but you have to squint. So, he just made me a pair of glasses. I can see it, anywhere, when it's real close to me. Now, when it gets off from me, can't see at all with these things. But I read them, read from this with the glasses.

L-19   Now, this morning, we had the last part of the 3rd chapter of the Hebrews. And, oh, what rich kernels we find. Now listen. I want to read again, so we get a background now. Not talk on it, but just kind of go over it a little.
While it is said, To day if you... hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation.
For some, them, they heard the Word, when they had heard the Word, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

L-20 Now, in that, this morning, we find that He said, "Don't harden your heart now, as in the days of provocation." That's when they provoked God to anger, because that He had give to them Moses, His prophet, and a sign that was with Moses. How many, of the class tonight, knows what that sign was? Pillar of Fire, Hebrews 13.
