<TITLE>14. Par 42-45</TITLE>L-42 Oh, brother, stop trying to think because you belong to the Church of God, the Assemblies of God, the Oneness, the Twoness, the Threeness, or the Interdependent, or the Baptist, or Methodist; touch Him with the kind of a touch that woman did.
And she touched Him; He said, "I've gotten weak." That's the kind of touch for you South Carolina people to touch Him with. "I got weak." And He looked around; he couldn't find it. See, that woman, her faith was pulling. He looked out in the audience, and He told the woman her condition; she had a blood issue; and said, "Your faith has saved you." Is that right? That was Jesus yesterday.

L-43 How many in here, Bible readers, know that the New Testament, the book of Hebrews says, that Jesus Christ, right now, this very hour, is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities? Well, if He is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, and the same High Priest that He was then, would not He have to act the same as He did then to prove that He was the same High Priest? If He done it in another way, it might be a different high priest. But if He's the same, He has to act the same. Is that right?
Now, if He will come to this audience tonight, the next ten or fifteen minutes will tell it. If He will come to this audience and prove Himself to be here, the same Jesus, how many of you that's never knowed Him, would say, "I will receive Him as my Saviour," and you who do know Him, say, "I'll love Him more, if there's a possibility for me to love Him more." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Raise your hand.

L-44 Let us pray. Lord God, it's hot and sweaty, but You went down into a fiery furnace one time to let three men know that You were the Son of God. You never fail; You are God. And I pray, Father, tonight that You'll reward this faithful bunch of people who set here in this hot building, fanning, sweat running off of their little babies, and wiping their little brows, and off the old sick fathers, and old mother laying there sick. Children, they're waiting Lord, because there's something in them tells them that there's help just ahead. They're pressing through the desert to the water hole.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but could find the waters of Life freely."

L-45 Oh, Lord, send Him in the midst of us tonight as that Rock in a weary land, the Shelter in the time of storm, the Jesus that was yesterday, and is the same today, and will be forever. Lord, this is Your branches. Energize by Your Spirit tonight, being the Vine. Move into the people. Lord, come to me and help me.
And the gift that Thou has given Lord, move it out before the people, as I yield myself. And no matter how much You'd work through me, if the people don't believe it, it will never work. For when He come to His own city, many mighty works He could not do because of their unbelief. God, may it not be so with Greenville. This little handful of people tonight that's gathered in here, may they see the Lord Jesus in His power and His resurrection.
And when we leave this building tonight, may the people on the road home say like those who came from Emmaus... Jesus had been dead, yes, He'd rose again. He had talked with them all day and they didn't know it. But that night when He got them alone and shut the door, He did something like no other man could do it. He done a miracle before them, just like He did it before His crucifixion; they knew He was the same Jesus. And they light-heartily and light-footedly, run back to the disciples, saying, "Truly, the Lord Jesus is raised from the dead. And did not our hearts burn within us as He talked to us along the road."
