<TITLE>15. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 How many? No one out there has a prayer card. How many sick people out there that's sick? Raise your hands. Want--want... have... Want something from the Lord? Raise your hands, wherever you are.
Now, I can see your faces, so I can just about tell who you are. So I--I don't... I can tell... And if it's any of the folks from the Tabernacle, I don't want them folks. I want the Lord to show me somebody that's away from the Tabernacle, somebody that's from out-of-town. 'Cause if it's somebody from the Tabernacle...
That's why we give out cards to get the people that's not in the Tabernacle, so that... The people would say, "Well, he knows that person. That's how that discernment comes." How does it come in Italy, and Germany, and Switzerland, and Africa, and all around over the world? How does It set here and tell things that'll happened three, or four--four, or five years off, and hit it just as perfectly to the dot? It's Christ.

L-55 Who was it led the children of Israel through the wilderness? Christ. What was He then? I want to ask you something. Just think of this a minute. What was He? A Pillar of Fire, a Pillar of Fire. And when He come on earth, He said that He was that Pillar of Fire. He... They said, "Our fathers eat manna in the wilderness."
He said, "I'm the Bread of Life."
Said, "Our fathers drank from a spiritual Rock."
He said, "I'm the Rock."
Why, he said, "Moses saw Him in a burning bush."
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." That I AM was in the bush. He said, "Now, I came from God," a Pillar of Fire. God is Light; we know that. He... God dwells in Spirit, not in flesh.

L-56 And in this Pillar of Light, Jesus said, "I came from That and I go back to That." Now, that might be out of your theology, but it's in the Bible. Jesus said it.
And when He died, buried, rose again... And when Saint Paul was on his road down to Damascus to arrest the people, Jesus appeared to him again in that Pillar of Fire and struck him down. Now, it could be possible one could see it and the others couldn't see it. Them men that was with Paul didn't see it. They said, "We heard a noise, but we seen no Light." But the Light was so bright to Paul till It put his eyes out, and he was blind for certain days: Pillar of Fire.
He come to--He come to Peter in the prison as a Pillar of Fire. And here He is today. And if a spirit of a--of the devil is in you, you'll do the works of the devil. If you're an outlaw, a spir... If John Dillinger's spirit was in you, you'd pack guns and kill people. If the spirit of anything was in you, it'll make it act like the person. If the Spirit of Christ is in you, it'll act like Christ. It'll do the works of Christ. "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he also." There you are.

L-57 And now, I'm putting this just for the glory of God. And I'm getting to be an old man, and I know my days may not be too long on earth. I don't know. That I can't say. I hope I live to see the coming of the Lord. I don't know that I will, but I don't know that I'll ever preach another sermon. But I--I... We can't tell that. That lays in the hands of God. I don't know.
But here's one thing. I'm... If we will ask Him to come into this midst this morning and will do something, the infallible proof of it, that He is the same resurrected Christ, and do the same thing that He did when He walked the shores of Galilee, I wonder how many would say, "I'd forfeit a place in the prayer line even if he didn't call me. I'd forfeit my place. And I believe that in my heart would anchor a faith that would just hold me steadfast to Christ. And I'd go from this building this morning..."
