<TITLE>13. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 Oh, He was called a heretic. He was called "out of His mind." How many knows that Jesus was declared insane? He certainly was. How many knows that every one of the apostles was declared insane? Absolutely. Jesus Christ was declared insane. "We know that thou art mad and have a devil." What is mad? Crazy, insanity.
Paul. "Paul, thou art mad. Too much learning has made thee mad."
But he said, "In the way that's called heresy, that's the way I worship the God of our fathers." I like to stand by Paul's side, be a fellow citizen of the Kingdom of God and suffer with Him here, and also reign with Him there. In the way that's called heresy, crazy...

L-50 And this little woman come down. And of course, perhaps maybe, there--her church members were there, and they would've made fun of her. But she thought that Jesus was correctly the Son of God, so she said, "He's a holy Man; He's from God, He's... If I can only touch the border of His garment, I believe I'll be healed." Is that true? So she pushed through the press until she touched the border of His garment.
And everybody was shaking hands with Him. "Good morning, Rabbi," (Reverend, whatever, teacher, pastor) and hugging Him.
But Jesus stopped all of a sudden. The little woman was scared, so she run away, and say she went out in the audience to set down like you are now. Jesus turned around and said, "Who touched Me?"
And Peter said, "Why, Lord, all's touching You. How can You say such a thing, 'Who has touched Me?' Everybody's touching You."
He said, "But I perceive that I have gotten weak. Virtue has gone from Me." In other words, all them touches was all right, but they wasn't the right kind of touch. "I perceive that I've gotten weak." If it would make Him weak, what would it do to us, a sinner saved by grace? We would never stand it if He didn't say, "More than this shall you do."

L-51 "Greater" is the King James translation, but the Greek is "more." You couldn't do greater. He done as far as stopped nature, and raised the dead. There could be nothing greater done, but more of it, because He'd be... It... That... The Balm, the Holy Spirit that was in Him, B-a-l-m was spread out all over the earth in His Church. "More than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father." He divided Hisself with every believer. Don't you believe that? Every believer, His Spirit He divided with every believer. "And more than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father."
Now, the woman touched His garment, and He looked around. Everybody, "Not me. Not me."
And finally, there was a great power in Him, the anointing of the Holy Ghost that could perceive the thoughts of the people's minds. So He looked out over the audience, and that little woman was thinking, "Oh, I've done something wrong. Maybe I--I have done wrong. But, O Lord, You know I needed it."
And Jesus looked at her, and told her that her blood issue was healed, because she had believed. He picked her right out of the audience and told her her condition.

L-52 Now, you out there without a prayer card would say, "Oh, I wished I could've been standing there. I would do the same thing. But, alas, He's dead and gone." Oh, no. He rose again. He's not dead, but He is alive forever more. And the Scriptures... To any of you Bible students, or--or teachers of--of theology, the Scripture says in the New Testament, the Book of Hebrews, that right now, Jesus Christ is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities.
How would He act if you touched Him? If He's the same Jesus, He'd act the same way He did, 'cause He can act no other way. So you look to Him tonight, you without a prayer card. How many in here does not have a prayer card, and you want Jesus to heal you, raise up your hands, anywhere? Now, you just look to Him.
