<TITLE>13. Par 46-47</TITLE>L-46 I met Him. He come to me. He told me not to drink, not to smoke and--and defile myself, and He had something for me to do when I got a little older. I just a little boy. He--He proved that. He did it. Here's His picture hanging right here now, where science has took it. See? The world knows it. He's proved it among you. He knows every thought in your heart. He's proved Hisself; He's the same God today. He's not a God of history. Don't be just... let the world smuggle you down with the smut and stuff of the world. Believe Him right now.

Would you raise your hand, some that hasn't, would raise your hand, say, "God, I'm not sure about it, but I want to be sure. Let me..." God bless you, young man. Somewhere... God bless you back there, sister. God bless you, brother. Someone else? God bless you, sister. God bless you over there, brother. That's right.
You say, "Brother Bill, would it mean anything to me to hold up my hand?" You go, hold up your hand once and find out. Always, brother, sister, when you do anything right, you feel good about it. Be honest. Now don't lie to God. You're not lying to God; He knows; you're lying to yourself. You will lie such a horrible thing, till even they can take you in the federal courts, and criminal courts, and put a lie detector on your arm, and you can try your best to tell that thing, make it sound like the truth, but your nerves will prove that you're telling a lie. Why? You wasn't made to lie. And if a lie detector knows, what about God?

L-47 Well, you say, "Well, brother, I'm a Baptist, I'm Presbyterian, I'm Methodist..." That's all right. But I'm asking you one thing: have you ever met this God of history. Has He stood in the burning bush before you, and you know that He spoke back to your soul, and you know your sins are gone? If that isn't so, don't you take no chance, just on joining church, or went up there and felt a little good about it. You got to know Him. Not to hear of Him, not to have His blessings is Life, but to know Him is Life-- to know Him, personally know Him, Him, personal pronoun, know Him. Not know His Book, not be a good student, not be a good member, or a good men, or a good woman, that don't do it. The law did that, but to know Him--have you met Him? Is that God Who spoke to Moses in the burning bush, come before you? Have you heard Him speak to you, till you know it was Him? If He hasn't, just raise your hand, say, "God, speak to me now. Is that You humming around my heart? I--I want to know You."
God bless you, young lady. God bless you back there; that's good. That's right. Someone who hasn't, that's right. God bless you, sister. God bless you, young lady, here. That's good. God bless you, little lady over here.
