<TITLE>10. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 Who is This that's doing this? Could you dare to say it was your pastor? Never. Could you dare to say man had anything to do into it? Never. It's the Holy Spirit. The Spirit that was on our Lord Jesus, and is coming to unite Himself with His Church is so close that He's spreading forth His great Holy Light to redeem and to bring into fellowship a Church of the living God for the rapture that's near at hand. Amen.
Who is It? I can't answer your question. I can't answer for you, but I can answer for myself. And over this sacred desk tonight, in the ears of this, the company, and the--the purchase of the Blood of our Lord Jesus, I say this from the bottom of my heart, not because that I'm one of you, not because that I'm just somebody different, but one of the redeemed that's washed by the Blood: I believe that that same Light that hangs in this church tonight, that same One shows by Its nature that It's Jesus Christ in the form of the Holy Ghost.

L-38 Anyone who knows the Scripture knows that Jesus said, "I come from God and I go to God." Before He was made flesh when He was with Moses in the wilderness, He was a Pillar of Fire. And when Moses desired to see Him, He passed His back parts to him, and Moses said, "It looks like a Man." When He was here on earth, He was a Man. He done the very same things that He's doing today through men that He has redeemed. There He comes and have His picture taken.
What is It? After His death, burial, and resurrection, Paul was on his road to Damascus one day, and a great Light struck him down. Those men around him didn't see the Light. But It struck Paul down to--made him blind. He had trouble with his eyes the rest of his life. And he said one time, "Except I should be exalted above the abundance of the revelation, there was given to me a thorn in his flesh," a messenger of Satan to buffet him, because it was the abundance of the revelation.

L-39 And when Paul was stricken down on his road to persecute the people, that were making too much noise, the borned again group, the people that were called "heretics," Paul was on his road to persecute those, with papers in his pocket to arrest them and bring them to Jerusalem. And about middle of the day, there come a Light down that struck him off of his feet to the ground, and he fell into the dust of the earth. There come a Voice from that Light, saying, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
And Saul turned over in his blinded condition, looked up, and he could see that great glorious Light, and he said, "Lord, Who are You?"
He said, "I'm Jesus. I came from God; I went to God. I come from God; I return to God." He said, "It's hard for you to kick against the pricks."

L-40 One revelation on that sacred sand, one time upon that place, man can never be the same. A man, before he should call himself a Christian, before he can identify himself, he should first have that backside of the desert experience where he met God face to face.
For today, you can have any kind of an answer. You can see the Lord perform just exactly what He said do, and smart theologians will explain It away. They'll say, "That was for another day. It was for this, or It's for another age, or It's wrong." Like they said of Jesus, "He's Beelzebub, the devil. He's a fortuneteller," and all those things. They have an answer.
