<TITLE>13. Par -</TITLE>L-20-2 Now, it's time for the prayer line, and it's a early prayer line, just about twenty after eight. But we're wanting to pray for the people. And I want you now, this... All the preaching that we could do would not--not compare with one spoken Word from God Himself.
Now, to start the prayer line, which we've promised to pray for all... That we'll do, God willing. We, each night have give out prayer cards and saying in this, that each night we'd called a group out of there for discernment. But the people then that, some of them, leave on that night. We'd have a great meeting, and the Spirit would fall, and the people would leave, and the next night we'd have to give out more.

L-20-4 And if I'm not mistaken, am I not looking at Fannie Wilson standing back there? I remember taking that woman about seventeen... Oh, more than that, about twenty... 1932, dying with TB, and the doctor of this city had give her up, and she'd hemorrhaged till the blankets and everything was laying wet with blood.
Her husband and daughter come and got me one morning; went out there and called over her the Name of the Lord Jesus, and about a few days later in a cold wintertime, I baptized her in the Name of the Lord Jesus at the river, and she come down the road in the back of an old cattle truck, wet as she could be. She lives yet tonight, because Christ did it. First time I seen her in a many year. Looking around over the audience seeing that God still lives; that's right. And He said, "Because I live, you can live also."

L-21-2 Now, I would like to just--to kinda place to you what this is, because if I don't, then you might go away saying, "Well, I don't understand that."
Now, my contentions is this: that Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now, if He is the same, He's got to be the same in every principle, the same in--in power, the same in might, the same in everything that He was. And when on earth here there was some Greeks one time who came and said, "Sirs, we would see Jesus."
And I believe that that is the desire of every man or woman that ever heard of Jesus, wants to see Him. And if He isn't the same, then we cannot see Him. But if He is the same, we can see Him, or He told something wrong. "Yet a little while and the world won't see Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me for I (the personal pronoun), I will be with you, even in you to the end of the age." And then Jesus promised to be in His church, doing the same things that He did then, until the age end.

L-21-5 Now, He said, a little while the world won't see Him no more. Well then, how would we see Him? We'd have to see His Spirit, if He's in us, and that Spirit would have to do the same that He did then, or it wouldn't be the same Spirit. "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." And if we bear... If the branch is in the vine, the branch will bear the kind of fruit that the vine produces to it. Where the first Vine come forth, the first branch that come out of the Vine was a Pentecostal branch: visions, powers, healings, baptism of the Holy Spirit, great signs and wonders; the next branch will have to be the same kind of branch. On down to the end, it'll have to be the same; that's what Jesus said.
Now, let's see what He was yesterday. If we can find what He was yesterday... (Now, I'm taking a short cut because of time, going to give about five minutes of instruction.) And if we can see what He was yesterday, then we can see what He is today and will be forever. Is that fair enough?
