<TITLE>13. Par 125-138</TITLE>L-125 What was it? It manifested closer; it come out into David the king. 'Cause He was both Prophet, Priest, and King; and when David was dethroned and rejected in Jerusalem like Jesus was, David set upon the mountain, a rejected king by his own people and wept over Jerusalem. And the Son of David came, set on the same mountain, the rejected King in His Own city, and wept over Jerusalem, saying, "How oft would I have hovered you as a hen does her chicks, but you would not."
What did they call Him? Beelzebub, a fortuneteller, a evil spirit.

L-127 When His ministry started, there was an old fisherman brought to Him, who couldn't even sign his own name. And looked at that old fisherman, and He told him what his name was. And He told him what his father's name was. That old fisherman believed Him with all of his heart.
And another standing there, got converted, by the name of Philip. And he went around the mountain, thirty miles, and found one by the name of Nathanael, under a tree, praying, said, "Come, see Who we found. I know you're a great believer in Jehovah. I know you are. But Jehovah promises a Messiah, and we found Him. He's just an ordinary Man, nothing big about Him. There's nothing swell and educated about Him. He's a Carpenter." He was--He was a Carpenter, both of material and a man's soul.
And Nathanael looked at him, said, "Now, wait a minute, could there be anything good come out of Nazareth?" See, they was looking for it out of Jerusalem.

L-130 That's where many of you are looking today. Don't look there. The devil always uses a man's head and his eyes. God uses his heart. You look and say, "Oh, it just can't be. It's just unreasonable. See, I can tell; I can look at it." That's where the devil lays. The devil uses a man's eyes. He did that to Eve, in the beginning, and he's did it ever since.
But God tells a man He lives in his heart, and your heart makes you believe things that you cannot see. Because faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence you don't see.

L-132 Surely this great church with all its great people, all its millions around the world, controls the world's powers, it should be great. Don't look at that. It's the Spirit, the Spirit.
Nathanael said, "Could anything good come?"
He said, "You come and see."
And when He saw him coming, Jesus looked at him, and He was going to perform His Messianic sign on him. He said, "Behold an Israelite, in whom there's no guile."
He said, "When did You know me, Rabbi?" That astonished him, "When did You know me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." How could He see him thirty miles around the mountain the day before?
On who the miracle was performed on, he looked up and said, "Rabbi, You're the Son of God. You're the King of Israel."
Jesus said, "Because I have did this before you, and you believe it, you'll see greater than this; for there will be a time coming when you will see the Angels of heaven descending."

L-138 There stood those by, though, that were smart. They belonged to the big church; they--they couldn't undo themselves. They said, "This man is a fortuneteller. He's Beelzebub. He's crazy. He's a Samaritan that's got an evil spirit on Him. He's gone mad," declared Him insane publicly.
And Jesus said, "Because you say that to Me, I'll forgive you for it. But there'll come a time when the Holy Ghost will be on earth, and will do the same thing that I'm doing, and one word against It will be never forgiven in this world or the world to come." Think of that. One word against It is all, seals you forever.
