<TITLE>13. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 Now, to you Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterians: the reason you don't have--do these things in your church; it isn't because you don't have the power; it's because you don't believe it. That's all. Just because you don't believe it. If you'd believe it, the same thing would happen. The Pentecostals don't own this altogether. Pentecost is not a denomination. Pentecost is an experience (See?); it's an experience. The Lutheran Pentecost, the Baptist Pentecost, the Catholic Pentecost; anyone who receives the Holy Ghost is Pentecost. It's a Pentecostal experience. When you receive the experience of Pentecost, the power's within you. That's right.
Now, if you've got faith in what's in you, it'll do anything you ask. Oh, my. Oh, that's it, brethren. That's it. Pentecost is in us. Just don't be afraid.
When a Christian gets saved, God gives him a checkbook. And on the checkbook is wrote out, "Anything you have need of, lay it on My account, the Son of God, Jesus Christ." Are you afraid to--to put your name on it and send it in? Now, don't be afraid. Just anything that He promised, just remember, it's yours.

L-48 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right? Well, if you can call to God, and He's the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, why don't you just send up a little message to Him now? Send up one of those checks, and saying, "Lord, let me touch Your garment. Speak to me like You did the woman at the well." Some of you women do that. Some of you men call like blind Bartimaeus. "Oh, speak, Lord. Turn around and ask me. Speak to me; call me. I'll believe You."
Can you do that? Would it take all doubt out of your mind? Is there any strangers here was never here before? Raise your hand. Strangers, yes, each night there is. All right.

L-49 Jesus didn't heal people; He only healed as God showed Him to heal. How many knows that? Saint John 5:19. "The Son can do nothing but what He sees the Father doing." And then, when He stood before the people, why, He could tell them... The reason they knowed that He was the Son of God, and was the prophet that Moses spoke of, because He was a God-prophet.
See, the reason I say "prophet, God-prophet," that don't seem to take too well with you. Maybe I'd better explain it.
Jesus was a Man. He was just a Man, a virgin born Man. That's right. He was the Son of God. His Father was Jehovah, God Almighty. That's right. And then Jehovah built Him a House, which it was His Son, to represent Himself to the world. And God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Is that right? That was God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

L-50 Now, we have the Spirit by measure. He had It without measure. The Fullness of the Godhead bodily dwelt within the Son of God. Now, Hisself, He was a Man. But the Spirit that was in Him was God. You're a men, these are men. I'm a man. But the Spirit in us is God. But we have It by measure.
Now, if I went out here in the ocean and picked up a spoonful of water. Now, the... Like all the ocean, that's what was in Jesus, the Fullness of God. But what's in me and you, is just little spoonfuls. But if you took that spoonful of water to the--to the laboratory and tested it, the same chemicals that was in the spoonful would be what was in the ocean (That's right.), the same kind of chemicals. Is that right? The same Holy Ghost then. Amen.
And with your spoonful, and my spoonful, and their spoonful, and all of It put together, we can do things for God, if we'll just let it flow together. It--It'll bring the Presence of God. Amen.
