<TITLE>12. Par 41-45</TITLE>L-41 It was after Cleopas had got Jesus in the room, him and his friend at Emmaus, and Jesus broke the bread, that their eyes come open. It was after that was done. They could run all night long back up there and tell them disciples, "Truly, He's raised from the dead. We seen Him right down there, and He done the same thing He did, like He did before He was crucified": after they had seen Him.
Oh brother, today, there's no need of this Gentile world turning away your last sign. Jesus Christ has raised from the dead. He's here tonight in the form of the Holy Ghost. He's here to perform and to do just like He did before His crucifixion. He's raised from the dead: He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. You could doubt that, but if He comes on the scene in a few minutes and performs the same thing He did before His crucifixion, then you're a sinner, right, if you deny it.

L-42 What is sin? Unbelief. Drinking, smoking, gambling, committing adultery, that is not sin; that's the attributes of unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already." Only two things: that's faith or unbelief. You're packed in tonight with one or the other. God be merciful.
Christ now... All that I could say wouldn't mean nothing to one word He would say. If Christ, this Son of God, will come on the scene and do as He did before His crucifixion, how many of you in here will receive Him as your Saviour and Healer, say, "Amen." Let us pray. Bow our heads just a moment. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-43 Blessed God, the next belongs to Thee. We're realize tonight that we're in need of a great stirring of the Holy Spirit, and You alone can do this, Lord. And I pray tonight that You will bless and save all the sinners, the unbelievers, as they see the time moving up, and time is running out. It's later than we think. And I pray tonight that You'll deal with the hearts of men and women. There's no way for me to do it. I'm just a man. You're God, and I pray You, that in Jesus' Name, that You'll send the Holy Spirit over this building just now, and bring conviction upon every heart that's been unconcerned about Your coming. Grant it, Lord. I'm looking for You to do it, for I ask it in Christ's Name.

L-44 With everybody with their heads bowed, I'd like to ask you a question. I want you in here that knows that if Jesus would come tonight, you'd be unprepared to go: your heart's not right with God. I want you to raise your hand to Him and say, "God, be merciful to me," as you raise your hand. God bless you, sir. God bless you, all over, up in the balconies, down here, at least two hundred on my left side, my right side. Here's a hundred, two hundred, or more on this side: men and women in here who knows if Jesus would come tonight, you'd be unprepared. I'm not going to make my altar call just now. I'm going to wait. My message was tonight, that faith comes by experience.

L-45 I've had the privilege of talking to Buddhas, Jains, preaching, seeing tens of thousands come to Christ, stand in the pulpit with the Bible in one hand and the Koran in the other and defy the Mohammedan religion, and say, "If God doesn't work according to His Word and make every promise true, then you got a right to defy Christ," and watch the Almighty come on the scene.
Now, after Christ... When He was here on earth, He said, "I can do nothing in Myself," as Dr. Vayle has just got through explaining it, the things that He did. "I do nothing until the Father shows Me first." He perceived their thoughts. He told them who they weres, where they'd come from, what they had done. He did that before the Jews, not the Gentile. He did it to the Samaritans, but not one time did He do it to the Gentiles. He said, "Don't you go near the Gentiles." Why? The cup of Gentile iniquity wasn't filled yet. God blinded the Jews eyes and sent them away. The Samaritan was just a half-breed, between Jew and Gentile.
