<TITLE>20. Par 101-106</TITLE>L-101 Now, one time they was coming from Emmaus after He was dead and had raised. They didn't know He was risen.
And many people today that really love Him, don't know He's risen. They think He's dead. It's just a story. They packed His body away. And yet they love Him.
But He walked and talked with them. And they didn't know it. But when He got them to themselves in the little inn (Now watch!), He closed the doors and He did something, just that no one else did it like that. And by doing this, that's the same way He done it when He was here before His crucifixion, and they recognized it was the risen Lord. Is that right?

L-102 Now, my prayer is tonight, to you, that Jesus will come here and do something just like He did before He was crucified, so that you'll thoroughly understand that He has risen from the dead and is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I'm not here to break up your organizations. I'm not here to do nothing but to help your organizations. I'm not here to scatter your people. I'm here to gather the people to the Shepherd, Christ Jesus.
Stay in any church you want to, but love the Lord. We got plenty of denominations, and fine ones, and they all mean good. There's not no Christian denomination here on earth that means bad. Oh, they fuss and stew like a bunch of little juveniles, but, petty like a little bunch of kids. But in all of it, they're God's children.
The devil gets among them and causes temper and everything, but God loves them. So if God can love them, you surely ought to too. So love them anyhow. If that's not in your heart, then you ought to raised your hand (That's right.), and made your down here. So love the people.

L-103 We are here trying to do what? To strengthen the faith of the Christian, let the sinner see that it's not nothing, great something, that was just some kind of a--a... Some fellow said, "And the only reason we'd know that we're saved is from old Jewish writings." An infidel told me that.
I took him by the hand; I said, "Sir, I have more that vindicates to me than Jewish writing, because them writings are made manifest by the resurrection of Jesus Christ." That's right.

L-104 Now, if He will come... I don't say He will. I have no control. He runs His own business. I don't tell Him; He tells me. I don't operate Him; He operates me. But it's a gift that you just yield yourself. Look at this microphone. You're hearing my voice plain. But that microphone is a dumb mute until something operates it. Is that right? It can't speak itself. That music we hear, it's a mute unless something's making it. So would I be. How...

L-105 There's not a person here that I know outside of Mr. Cook, setting right there, Brother Cook. I think he's the only minister around the group that I know, except my son and this man here, and Mr. and Mrs. Wood and my daughter-in-law, setting right there at the end of the seats, right down here. Is the only persons that I can see now that I know. You're all strangers to me. I don't know you. But I'll say this: Whether you're a sinner or not, Christ knows you.

L-106 Now, if He will come and do just exactly the way He did when He was here on earth... Take the book of John or any of the Bible and read it. If He will reproduce that again in the next fifteen minutes, will you say, "Then, Lord, I'm confident, that me being a Christian, I am confidence that I can have what I ask for. For this is Your promise. And You are alive here, proving Yourself tonight, that You're here to give me anything that I have need of and will ask for it."
Will you do it? Raise your hand to Him if you will. May the Lord add His blessings. Once more for prayer.
