<TITLE>15. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 When He was on earth, He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me." And He went about. And when people came to Him, like Simon Peter, He told him what his name was, and what His father's name was. Peter recognized it to be the Messiah. When Philip found Nathanael and told him he'd found the Messiah, he couldn't believe it. But when He saw him coming, He said, "Behold, an Israelite in who is no guile."
He said, "Rabbi, when did You know me?"
Said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
He said, "Thou art the Christ, thou art the--the King of Israel, the Son of the living God." He recognized You to be the Messiah.

L-55 A poor prostitute at the gate, come out to get the water one morning as Jesus set at the well down in Samaria, an offcast people. And when Jesus spoke to her and told her of her conditions, that she have five husbands, she said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art a prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things."
He said, "I am he that talks to you."
And she ran into the city, saying, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the Messiah."
We hear Him say. "I can do nothing within Myself. But what I see the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise," promising these things would happen at the end of the Gentile age, as it was in the days of Sodom. And here we are seeing them return back, and happening right before our eyes. We hear the newspapers--or read them. We hear the radio, and the television of the talks of Russia and the atheistic world, of the communists, of great claims. And we see people who know that, are committing suicide, trying to drink it off, or laugh it off, or joke it off with Hollywood jokes. God, we got to face the facts. The end is here. It's the end time.

L-56 May there not be a one of these tonight, that's raised their hands, have to face You with sin on their life. May You forgive them just now of all their trespasses. Give them Thy Spirit, O Lord, and may they live eternally. For it is written in the Word, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Eternal Life, and shall never come to the judgment, but hath passed from death to Life." Let it be with each of those, Lord.
May I have the privilege on the other side of shaking their hand, they saying, "It was at the Chautauqua that night that I accepted Jesus as my Saviour," when life is all over for us. Fill those with the Holy Spirit who hasn't received It. Give faith to the sick for healing. And may we be able to humble ourselves, and submit ourself unto Thee, that You could come and fulfill Your promise, as You promised in Saint John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Grant it, Lord. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-57 Now, to you who raised your hands, I believe you were deeply sincere in that. And I'm going to ask you in the Name of the Lord Jesus, immediately after I run the prayer line... There's so many sick here. And I--I've got to run the prayer line. But you don't have to come up here. If you really accepted Him when you raised your hand, He took you. Your name went on the Lamb's Book of Life.
Don't you rest until you feel that wind coming through the wings of the Eagle, like they did on the day of Pentecost. For God is no respect of persons. I know there's a bunch of fanaticism that goes on under the name of Pentecost, but that's not real Pentecost. No, that's impersonations. But there is a real Holy Spirit. Why would you accept a substitute when the skies are full of the real. See? Now, don't do it. God will give you the Holy Spirit.
Why, Peter said on the day of Pentecost, "The promise is unto you and to your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." That's right.
