<TITLE>13. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 Jesus, when He was here, He said, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me." He saw a vision. Everything that He did, He said, "I do nothing except the Father shows Me first." Saint John 5:19. So it's by vision.
Now, He promised those things. He told His disciples, "When you... When the Holy Spirit's come, don't you do that before the Gentiles; do it before the house of Israel." The day would come for the Gentiles. Now is their day. So God introduced Himself that way, the Messiah.
And the woman, when she seen Jesus tell her that, she said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us all these things. But Who are You?"
He said, "I am He that speaks to you."
She run into the city, said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?"

L-48 If that was the sign of the Messiah then at the closing of their age, He's got to give the same Messiahic sign today. If it isn't, It isn't the same Messiah.
The same grape vine will brings forth grapes. You don't see pumpkins coming off of a grape vine, watermelons off a cantaloupe vines. You find watermelons on watermelon vines, grapes on grape vines and pumpkins on pumpkin vines.
And you find the Spirit of Christ in the children of Christ. We go to church to find the Spirit of Christ and we find creeds. We find laws and doctrines. God's Spirit, the same Spirit that was in Jesus Christ is in the Church.

L-49 If I told you I had the spirit of Al Capone, you'd better call the police in and arrest me; I might have his gun. If I told you I had the spirit of some famous artist, you'd expect me to paint these hills out here just as natural as they are. 'Cause that's what the artist would do if I had his spirit.
If I had the Spirit of Christ, I'll do the works of Christ. Jesus said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not." And if the church does not do the works of Christ, then don't believe that church. Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe."
And we've perverted it by works of man, doctrines of man. The Bible said, "In the last days, they'd be heady, high-minded, and lovers of pleasure more than of God, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good."
You say, "Them's communists." No, them's Christians, so-called, them's church members. "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof." Saying, "Oh, God did that in another age, not this age." The Bible said, "From such, turn away." We're living in that day.

L-50 Now, I'm going to give you a Scripture, then call the prayer line. As I spoke today at the dedication, everything's perfected in three. Jesus comes in three. God is in three: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; them three are one. Justification, sanctification, Baptism of the Holy Ghost, those three are one.
When a baby's born in natural birth, first thing comes from the mother is water, blood, spirit. When Jesus died at the cross, He gave what it constitutes to make the new birth: water, blood and Spirit. All things of the natural types the spiritual, or the spiritual types the natural, either way.
