<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 And notice while they're lining the people up. When Christ was here on earth, He said, "I came from God, and I go to God." Do you know that to be true? How many believes that Christ was in the wilderness with the children of Israel? That Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel was Christ? Do you believe that the Angel of the Covenant was in the burning bush? He said He was.
"Before Abraham was, I AM." And I AM was the One that spoke to Moses in the bush. Then God was manifested in flesh to take away sin; which was in His Son's body, Christ, because God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
He expressed Himself through Christ. And Christ said, "I come from God (from the Pillar of Fire) and I return back in that condition." After His death, burial, and resurrection, Paul met Him on the road to Damascus, and He was again back into Light. How many knows that's true?
Well, any spirit will bear record of itself. Any life will bear record. A life of a... As I have said before, a life of a pumpkin vine will bear life--bear pumpkins. Grapes will bear grapes.
Jesus said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." The life that's in you... If I told you the spirit of an outlaw was in me, you'd expect me to have big guns and be dangerous. If I told you the spirit of an artist was in me, I would be able to paint the pictures that the artist painted.
And if we say the Spirit of Christ is in us, we do the things that Christ did.

L-14 Think the picture here, not of me, I had nothing to do with it at all. It's Christ expressing Himself to His people. Then, if the--this being photographed here in Germany and different places, and before the great men... Even FBI examined the picture: George J. Lacy.
And if it was proven to be a supernatural Being, and it looks like the same Pillar of Fire, then it was Christ still with His church. "I'll never leave thee nor forsake thee." Then, "The works that I do shall you also." It'll do the same kind of works He did if It's the Spirit of Christ. If it isn't the Spirit of Christ, it won't do those works. Upon this, let us say...

L-15 Are you the lady that's to be prayed for? I want to know how many in the building that would raise your hands that I do not know you? Let's see your hand, everybody in the building, in the prayer line too, that I do not know you.
Here's a picture of the Bible. Now, remember, the Bible was written by the Holy Spirit. And the Spirit that wrote the Bible still lives. He doesn't get any different. He doesn't know any more today than He knowed then, because He was infinite to begin with.
And if God did anything in the beginning, and if the same circumstances rises again, and if He acts different than what He did in the beginning, He acted wrong when He acted. He's got to remain the same. He doesn't get smarter like we do, because He was--He was infinite to begin with.
And the Bible is both a history; It is a prophet; It's a love story, and portrays Christ to us. Then if the Christ of the Bible is not dead, but alive, He's got to manifest Himself just like He did in the Bible.

L-16 Now, here's a woman. The dear, beloved person is... I never seen her. She looks about the age of my mother. I never seen her in my life. And we're totally strange to each other. And here is a picture of the--a Bible scene, like it was in Saint John the 4th chapter when a man and woman... Jesus at the well with the woman, and He spoke to her...
Now, notice, He was on His road to Jericho, but need go by Samaria. Why? He just said in Saint John 5, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me first." Do you believe that Scripture? Then He never performed one miracle without God showing Him first.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise." See?
