<TITLE>13. Par 108-118</TITLE>L-108 "There shall be a sign given unto you. And these signs shall follow. The works that I do, shall you also; even more than this, for I go unto My Father."
"It shall be Light again in the evening time." Oh, this dark day that we've been through... But for forty years the clouds has been clearing back, through the first reforming, of the bringing forth the message that God and Christ are one, that God was made manifest in flesh. He chose to dwell in human flesh. And today they make Him something setting on a throne; they make Him some prehistoric something; some of them wants to take Him back to a philosopher; some wants to make Him a prophet. But, brother, He's God in you, God manifested in the flesh. How?

L-110 How did they know He was God in the flesh? He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then I've told you wrong. But if I do the works of My Father, you believe it."
And now the same thing. The message is revived again in the last days, the message of Who He is, what He is: Immanuel dwelling in you, with the same works that He did, manifest Himself through you, the very same things that He did. It's the evening Light. It's evil spoken of. It's a hard way.

L-112 It meant something for the rich young ruler, yet his heart hungry, to come to Jesus, and said, "Rabbi, what must I do to have Eternal Life?"
Said, "Keep the Commandments."
He said, "I've did that since a child."
Said, "You want to be perfect then?" Said, "Follow Me."
But he went away sorrowful. It was too much of a price. If he could've give Him some money and built a big church somewhere, put hisself a member, he'd have easily done it. Don't you see how that's patterned today amongst the rich? There were others, not only the rich, but poor; many of them from the slime pits, and so forth, they refused because of popularity. Because He was unpopular. He was Immanuel. They said, "That's criticism. That's--that's the devil. That's mental telepathy. That's--that's Beelzebub." The teachers of the day, their big churches, said, "Nonsense."
But God said, "It's an eternal sign, the super sign, the sign of all signs, that God is with you, even in you, to the end of the world." There's your super sign. It exceeds all signs. It's the first sign. Acts 19, those people had to come back and recognize that sign before they could ever receive the Holy Ghost: Acts 19:5. Yet, a believer that had the Bible, and had a fine preacher that was proving that Jesus was the Christ, yet before they could come into it... And to see the sign, they had to come and be rebaptized, have hands laid on them and receive the Holy Ghost. That's true.
But in the Evening time the Lights are here. And It's criticized; it's made fun of. It's evil spoken of. The prophet said It would be evil spoken of, a stumbling block. Evil spoken of, made fun of, criticized; Immanuel in us, working His will through us.

L-117 Oh, today, my pilgrim brother, my sister, believe that sign. Look into the manger of your own heart and see if you are able to say within yourself. See the sign that the shepherds seen: God in flesh, dwelling amongst the poor, the needy, the offcast. See if you can understand it. God in your heart, God in here, watch and see if He manifests Hisself right, in sweetness and meekness, as He did.

L-118 A few years ago, there was a girl who went off to college, and with a lot of her colleagues there, she become a very little smart aleck, from her old country teaching that she'd had as a mother in a country home. And one day she decided, some two years later to visit her mother again. She wrote her a telegram and told her she would arrive on such-and-such a train, to meet her at the station. However, she brought another little smart aleck with her. And she'd become a smart aleck herself. And she brought another one with her, that was kind of one of the modern-day's sophistications, know-it-all, teen-annie.
