<TITLE>09. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 And the Messiahic sign has appeared that He's with us, in us, and will comfort us, and will help us, and will bless us, and will lead us to that One Who was scarred in the hands, pierced in the side. I believe this same Holy Spirit that's here now will take us up someday to the right hand of God where we'll see Him setting. There we shall live with Him forever, and be His children;, He will be our God. That's my heart's desire--is to be with Him.
"We have seen His sign in the east, and we've come to worship Him," said the Magis. The Scripture promises, Jesus Himself did, said that, "the works that I do shall you do also." These things was to appear in the Gentile Church. One word against It was never to be forgiven. But it would be the sign that it was back there, the same Son, the same Light. And I believe that He's here now.

L-31 If this audience who's setting here now that's suffering, Something is telling me to stop. I don't know why. I don't know no more than just to follow the leading of the Spirit. I had three or four more things in my mind, comments that I was going to make, but Something said, "Now. Stop." There must be somebody praying in this audience. There must be somebody seriously in trouble. That I don't know.
But if you believe that the Lord Jesus, Who stood and could tell the Apostle Peter who he was, and what his father's name was, and all the sign's that He did like that... Which they crucified Him for those signs, and killed Him--a witch, made Him a Beelzebub, a devil... That same Spirit that was on Jesus Christ is in His Church.
We'll yield ourself now to His Spirit. God will do the same thing. Do you believe it?

L-32 Let us bow our heads. Almighty God, somehow, some way, I don't understand it, but Thou does know, Lord. There must be a terrific lot of suffering, or someone maybe just a few hours from death. That I do not know. But somehow that, I want to follow like those Magis, watching every move, for someday I expect this Holy Spirit to take me into Your Presence to live with You forever. May I be reverent and respect It, and watch It, and obey It as long as I live.
And may this audience tonight, Lord, have their eyes of understanding open. May they have the Spirit of God upon them, for we have seen His Star in the east, His sign. They did not have the answer to supernatural heavenly gifts and signs in Jerusalem. And Lord God, ashamed to say it tonight, but the churches today don't have the answer. Many of them, too many of them don't have the answer to supernatural signs. They want to call it telepathy, or some evil spirit, not knowing that they're sealing their eternal destination by doing so.
And let it be knowing tonight, Lord, that Thou art God. The same Jesus that came from the grave in a bodily form is here tonight in the form of the Holy Ghost.
And may we be so able to humble our hearts and submit ourselves, our spirits to You, that You would pull from this audience those who You're calling tonight. And all praise will be Yours, Lord. And we'll go out of here tonight feeling that the same Morning Star, a heavenly Gift is leading us, deeper depths and higher heights to Jesus Christ. For we ask it in His Name and for His glory. Amen.

L-33 If thou canst believe. [Someone speaks in tongues; another interprets--Ed.] Amen. Radio audience, and to this visible audience, if I'm taught right in the Word of God, I believe that there is gifts in the Church to speak with tongues and to interpret. There's no Bible student that can condemn that when it's done orderly after the message was over. It's orderly. You seen what It said, "The Lord in the midst," and so forth. Now, how true that is. May the Lord add His blessings.
These things, one time when I was still a young Baptist minister, I didn't understand this. But after reading the Scriptures, I see that it's the truth. The Lord be blessed.
