<TITLE>04. Par 18-23</TITLE>L-18 And Jesus in His teaching here, He just had a lot of criticism, and they had been talking about Him, as every time where the supernatural's done, there's a mixed multitude. When Moses did the Supernatural, a mixed multitude went with him and it caused trouble. Always when the Supernatural's done, a mixed multitude goes. This revival's going on now, there's a mixed multitude.
The historians said it wasn't a strange thing that Martin Luther could protest the Catholic church and get by with it, but to keep his head above all the fanaticism that followed the reformation.
So you find it... But what does the bogus claim? It only proves that there's a real one somewhere. When you see someone mocking religion, just remember there's somebody got religion. When you see somebody pretending to have the Holy Spirit, there's somebody who's really got It. That's right.

L-19 When you go into India, you find all the clowns laying on the spikes and doing little things for money. That's clowns, some honest person back in the interior there is really cutting himself and bruising himself to try to appease his gods.
There's always that pro and con, false and true, day and night. And Jesus was the Light of the world when He was here. And He's the Light of the world tonight. There's no other light that can lead you out of the shadows of death, but the blessed Lord Jesus.

L-20 And in all ages God's had men and He's had His ministry in every age. God is supernatural. And when God comes on the scene, supernatural takes place, for He is supernatural. And His people always look for Him in the supernatural. Because when they become sons of God, they become the nature of God. And in that they pick up that believing Him; by faith they believe that what God says is the truth, no matter how contrary it may seem.
Like Abraham of old, he called those things that was not as though they were, because God said so. And as he got older... The baby was promised for twenty-five years. And the Bible said he got stronger all the time waiting for the promise because it would be a greater miracle. And we call ourselves the children of Abraham and can't wait overnight for God. If He doesn't perform an outstanding miracle on us...

L-21 That's why we don't catch what faith really is. Faith is something; it may not take place in your hand if it's crippled, may not take place in your eye if it's blind; but faith takes it's solemn stand in the heart, and from there you call anything contrary to what that faith says as though it was not.

L-22 But the mixed multitude... And Jesus said--begin to speak to them of other ages, how that God down through the age has always done the supernatural. And He was referring back to the prophet, Jonah. Then He came down to the one that we wish to base these few thoughts around for the next fifteen or twenty minutes.
That was in the days of Solomon. In all ages when God sends a gift to the people, and they refuse it, it only makes the people go into chaos. But when the people believes and accepts what God sent them, it--it is a golden age for that people. What He said in His own ministry, "How oft would I have hovered you as the hen would her brood. But you would not." They didn't know their day. And I'm just wondering if we as America know our day of visitation.

L-23 And I might say this just now because the Holy Spirit seems to be putting it on my heart. Be careful, Satan will try to tell you of something great way off in another age to come, or another coming along of another revival, and you may be living in the last part of all you'll ever get. It may be now. It's always been that way. They come, and the revival's gone, and they don't know it. Myself, I believe we're at the end. I don't look for nothing else but the coming of the Lord. I believe that everything that He has promised in the Scriptures has been fulfilled.
