<TITLE>22. Par 74-75</TITLE>L-74 Let's call a prayer line. He made the promise; He keeps it. Now, there's somewhere along there, I've got to call up five or six people, or as many as can stand here. The rest of you all, just believe.
Watch. If you don't have a prayer card and get up here, that don't mean one thing. I challenge you.
Here's what--here's what the Seed of Abraham did, Jesus, when He was on earth: one day, He was passing through a crowd of people. And all of them was saying, "Hello, Rabbi. Good morning, doctor. How are You, reverend. Glad to meet You, reverend, glad to have You over here. Going to hold a meeting while You're over here?"
And a poor little woman had a need. So she slipped through the crowd, and she touched His garment; for she said within herself, "If I'll just touch that holy Man." See, her faith. See? "If I touch Him, I will be made well." So she touched Him, and went back out in the crowd. She said, "Oh, I'm sure I'm healed, because I believe that. I believed it. I know I'm healed. I--I just believe the blood issue's stopping right now. I just believe it."
Jesus stopped, said, "Say, who touched Me?"
What a question! Peter said... In other words, "Lord, what's the matter with You?" The Bible said he rebuked Him. Said, "What do You mean by that? Why, everybody's touching You. How do You come to say, You being the Messiah. Aren't You afraid You're going to expose Yourself here before these people? Who touched Me? And I'll bet there's been five hundred touch You in the last minute. What would You say such a thing as that?"
He said, "But this was a different touch. (See?) I perceive that I got weak. Virtue..." Anyone knows "virtue" is "strength." "I got weak. Strength went out of Me." And He looked around, looked around. See, there's faith out there somewhere. He looked around. And He found the little woman. The Holy Spirit that was in Him in the fullness, directed Him right to the little woman. And that blood issue she'd had, He said, "Your faith... Now, I never healed you. I never had nothing to do with it. But your faith in Who... And God, Who I'm representing, your faith has made you whole."

L-75 Now, the Bible said that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. That's the same in principle, the same in power, the same in attitude; the same God that lived in Christ lives in the Church, not as much of It. He had It without measure, we have It by measure. But if you had a spoonful of water out of the ocean, the same chemicals is in the whole ocean is in the spoonful. Remember that. That's right. It's the same God.
Now, the Bible said in Hebrews, he said that Jesus Christ, right now, is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. How many knows that? Well, if He is the same High Priest, wouldn't He act the same way if He was touched? What are we? His mouthpiece. We submit ourselves to Him, and our words are not our words. "Take no thought what you shall say, 'cause it's not you that speaks," it's the Father that dwelleth in you, He speaks.
