<TITLE>10. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 There was a man had a boy with epilepsy, one day, and he took him to the church. And the disciples danced, and hollered around him for awhile, and could do no good, but there was still a God of history that lived. He was determined to find Him. Seeing them coming off the mountain, he run to Him and said, "Lord, have mercy on me. A devil's took my child, and he pines away and falls into the fire."
Jesus said, "I can, if you believe." If you believe what? If you believe, that the God of history still lives today. And He was called on the scene, and the epilepsy left the child.
That same God lives today. When the churches has failed, when politics has failed, when everything else has failed, and man has failed, and everything's failed, God can't fail. He's the God of this old black-backed Bible. His promise is just as true as they ever was, and it's time that His people called on Him, raise Him up from history, for it is written, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-38 He's a historical God. And He's a present-time God. And in the last days He said, "I'll pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh. And signs and wonders shall follow them that believe. For in My Name they shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. If they take up serpents or drink deadly things, it would not harm them. And if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover."
That was a historical God that give the promise, and we're the people today, of His pastor. We're the sheep of His fold, and He's waiting on us to stand and call Him on the action. Call Him on the scene. Watch Him go in to move us. Watch Him do the supreme. Watch Him do the thing that man will wonder and scratch their heads and not understand it. He's the historical God and a present day God. He's waiting to be called out of history.

L-39 "Let's not look at Him. What good does a historical God do us if He's only a historical God?" What good would a historical God done Amram and Jochebed? What good would a historical God done to Moses? What good would a historical God done to Lazarus? What good would a historical done--God done to blind Bartimaeus at the gate? And what good would a historical God do you tonight, if He isn't the same today?
He is the same today. He forgives all of our sins and heals all of our diseases. The historical God, called up out of history, He will shine in this last day. What? When time is ending, when politics is ending, when life is ending, when everything's coming to the end, Jesus comes to the life. When everything's met it's doom, He's still shines, the Lily of the valley, the bright and morning Star. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Just call on a historical God and watch Him become a present God, raised up out of history to shine just as He did then. He will act the same. He will do the same. He will forgive the same. He will heal the same. His compassions is the same. His willingness is the same. And His power is the same. He's the same. He's waiting for our...
