<TITLE>09. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 Jesus standing there, God said, "This is My beloved Son; let your denominations go. Let your little quacky ideas be gone. For this is My beloved Son; hear ye Him."
I say to you tonight... Oh, if I had the vocabulary, if I was only a--a preacher that had a education, if I was--only had some ability, but being a poor ignorant southerner... If I had the ability, I would like to put that so close to every man and woman, that they could see it. But I do know what I'm speaking of. I might not know the Book to well, but I know the Author real well. And to know Him is Life. I am not a fanatic, but I have a message for you, that that same Jesus that was screamed from the heavens by the Father, "This is My beloved Son," He is not dead; He's alive in here tonight, in all of His power and His glory to manifest Himself just like He did in the other age. For it's written in His infallible Word, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." It's written in His Word, "The works that I do shall you also."

L-31 As He manifested Hisself to the Jews. How did He do it? He manifested Hisself by one time when Philip went and found Nathanael under a tree and brought him back. He said, "Come, see Who we found, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph."
On his road back, Philip begin to tell him. First, Nathanael said, "Could there be any good thing come out of a crowd of people like that at Nazareth?"
And Philip give him a good answer, "Come and see."
On the road over, no doubt he was telling him about how He knew Peter's name and who his father was. I could imagine this staunch Orthodox Jew saying, "Now, wait a minute; I just can't believe that, Philip."
"Come along; be humble; come to the meeting; set quiet; watch a few minutes."
And when they got to where the prayer line was, or whatever, Jesus was praying for the sick. Many great educated priests and Pharisees all stood around Him, their cults. And when Philip walked up with Nathanael, Jesus turned, and looked at Nathanael, and said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile." It astonished Him.
Said, "Rabbi, when did You know me? You never seen me in Your life, how'd You know me?"
Jesus said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under that tree, I saw you." Thirty miles around the mountain, what eyes.
And what did he say? He spoke for every believing Jew when he seen that done, he said, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God. You are the King of Israel." That's what every true believer believes.
And when he said that, He said, "Because I told you these things you believe? You shall see greater than this." Because he was a believer. God was manifesting Himself before the ending of the Jewish dispensation.

L-32 Then what happened to the Pharisees, the great doctors standing around? They said, "That is a devil. He's a fortuneteller. He's Beelzebub." They said it in their hearts; they didn't say it out loud.
But Jesus perceived their thoughts. And He said, "You say that against Me, it'll be forgiven. But if you speak one word against the Holy Ghost when It comes to do it, it will never be forgiven you in this world or the one to come." What? When the Holy Spirit makes Its manifestation to the Gentile race, one word against It will never be forgiven.
