<TITLE>19. Par 96-100</TITLE>L-96 If that was the sign of Messiah then, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, it's the sign of the Messiah today. Is that right? He wasn't a healer. He didn't claim to be a healer. He said, "I just do what the Father shows Me."
On down through the Scripture we can name place after place after place, and every time it was what the Father showed. 'Cause Scriptures don't contradict itself.

L-97 Jesus said with His own Word, so you can put confidence in it, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me first." He stood in a audience; a woman touched His garment. And He said, "Who touched Me?" He didn't feel it physically.
And Peter rebuked Him. After all denied, the woman and all, said, "I never touched You." The woman was scared.
But He said, "I got weak." Virtue went out. Virtue's strength. "I got weak. Somebody touched Me." And He looked around till He found the woman. That's discernment. He found the woman. He said...
She'd had a blood issue and she was healed, "Thy faith has saved thee." See that same word, "saved"? Physical saved or spiritual saved, the same word is "Sozo." Is that right in the Greek? Sozo, same place interpret every time: healed or saved, the same Greek word, Sozo, saved. All right. "Thy faith has saved thee. I never done it. I never had nothing to do with it." She used God's gift. God never used His own gift.

L-98 But now in the healing of Lazarus, or raising, God used His gift. God just picked His gift up and said, "Son, in four days from now (by a vision)," He said, (the Father showed Him) "Lazarus is going to die. You get away from here. I'll bring You back and You go down to the grave and raise Him up." Jesus just went on and obeyed the Father.
They said, "Lord, come heal him. He's sick."
Jesus just went on. After the time was fulfilled, which God had showed Him (which He said He did nothing till the Father showed Him) He said, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth."
They said, "Oh, he--he's resting good."
He said, "He's dead. And for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there. You'd be asking Me to pray for him when I knowed it wasn't right for Me to pray for him. But I go wake him." And when He stood at the tomb, He said, "Father, I thank Thee Thou has already heard Me. But I just said this for those who stand around. 'Lazarus come forth!'" And it happened.

L-99 God used His gift there. But He had no vision, and the woman touched Him, and then the woman used God's gift. Jesus didn't say, "How much greater was the miracle of resurrecting Lazarus than there was the woman being healed." But God used His gift there. But the woman used God's gift in this case.
Now, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, can He be touched again? Can He? Does the Bible say He can? The Bible said, "He is a High Priest (in Hebrews) that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." Is that Scripture? Then you can touch Him tonight. He can speak to you just the same as He did to her. If He is the same. You believe it?

L-100 Now, if He will do that tonight, will you... I trust that He will for these new born babies here that just come into the Kingdom, so you'll see that your faith that you have professed tonight by raising your hand, that you professed faith in Jesus Christ and made a promise to God that you'll serve Him the rest of your days; that you might know you're not in error, and know accepting Buddha, Mohammed, or any of the rest of them can produce this. But Jesus can prove Hisself right here tonight that He's right here with us. And His Life was reproduced right among His people.
