<TITLE>11. Par 41-45</TITLE>L-41 Somebody tell me what the word "infinite" means. You couldn't explain it. He's omnipotent, omniscient, all powerful, infinite God. He knowed every flea, every fly. Before the world was created, He knowed it would be that way. He knew this meeting would be tonight.
There He is. And when He comes into Presence, there in the body of His Son, Christ, this Jewish believer said, "Thou art the... Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the Christ, the Son of God."
Now, look at the real orthodox teacher which stood by Him. Now, when they seen this miracle performed, they said, "This man is a fortuneteller. He is Beelzebub. He is the chief... He's the greatest of all the fortunetellers. Now, his--his inspiration comes from the devil. And the devil has made him a king. And now he comes down to deceive our people with these things."

L-42 What did Jesus say to them, them teachers? Why, He said, "You can speak that against the Son of man; He will forgive you. But when the Holy Spirit is come (what we have tonight) speak against That, and it'll never be forgiven you in this world or the world to come." Then what position do we sit in tonight? What are we to reject Christ?
Now, we have churches and we have great things, which we appreciate. If it was any kind of a church that speaks the Name of the Lord Jesus, blessed be that church. I don't care if it's Catholic, if it's Protestant, if it's Jewish, whatever, if it's--if it's Seventh Day Adventist, if it's of Russell's, of whatever it is. No matter what it is, I'd rather see them trying to do something for God, than out on the street living in lust and things like the world's a doing. Certainly. But, brother, in all of this, there's got to be somewhere, there's got to be a showdown to truth.

L-43 I believe Christ will honor each believer in every church. Whoever who has their heart right with God, God will honor that person, Catholic, Protestant, whatever he might be. Yeah, God knows your heart. Now, you can't hide it. God knows your heart.
Now, we'll notice Him. Now, in that day that's what the--that's what that Jew said. He represented every believing Jew, 'cause the believers had gathered to Him. Jesus said, "Wherever the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered." That's right. They gather to Him.
Now, let's take Him over for one more statement to the--the Samaritans. Now, this is Saint John the 5th chapter. Now, we find Him in the--going up at... He was going to Jericho. If anybody knows geographically, Jerusalem sets on a hill; Jericho is in the valley.

L-44 And on His road going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, He went right straight down, but He had need to go up by Samaria. Now, Samaritans was half Jew and Gentile. They were a mixed bunch of people. Why did He have to go up there? What was the compelling something that was driving Him up there?
Did you ever know men that are led by the Spirit of God can't understand their own self. They are driven by a force that sometimes they think, "Why did I ever do that?" But it's God working in them. Sons and daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God.

L-45 Look at Simeon in the temple that morning when he was promised by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ. Came right out in the temple, led by the Holy Spirit, right straight to that little virgin standing there with a baby in her arms, wrapped in swaddling cloth, and picked that little baby up in his arms, and said, "Lord, let Thy servant depart in peace according to Thy Word. For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation."
Look at old blind Ann, Anna in the temple, a prophetess, waited for the consolation of Israel. And she served the Lord day and night in the temple by fasting and praying. And being Spirit led, she comes by the Holy Spirit, blind, right straight and picked up the baby and prophesied over Him, and for those who waited for the consolation of Israel.
