<TITLE>08. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 Oh, as Simon and them pulled on, the devil must've looked down and said, "Oh, I see them now; they've gone off without Him. Now's my chance. I will cause a storm to sink them in the bottom of the sea. Now's my opportunity to get rid of all of them."
That's just exactly what he says now. That's what I'm afraid's going to be the matter with our church. You're seeing; it's a whole lot the same thing today. We've gone off on a tantrum of how many big fine buildings we can build, how many great big... how well we can make our denomination grow. And we've went off without Him. And the devil's coming in with his poison winds, to start a revival amongst the people, saying, "Don't you believe that supernatural. There's no such a thing as Divine healing. You better go to a psychiatrist and get your mind examined before you become a missionary or a minister." All that kind of nonsense, a poisoned revival, that tries to say that the power of God that operates through the church is a bunch of fanaticism. You know the Bible said this: Jesus said, when He was performing them signs there and showing, telling Nathanael the things that taken place.
Those Jews standing there said, "That man is Beelzebub; He's a fortuneteller. We got His number now. He's reading their minds; He's using mental telepathy."
Jesus turned to them, and said, "I'll forgive you. I the Son of Man will forgive you for this. But when the Holy Ghost is come (for this age)," said, "one word against It will never be forgiven in this world nor in the world that is to come."

L-28 And people don't see it. They got one little straight stretch that the church takes of some kind of theology, and they stay right with that. Like I heard Brother David duPlessis say one time; he gets off his subject.
He said, "I don't stay on the highway all the time, because all the preacher--preaching I do, and all the people I preach to don't live on the highway. I have to go down the lane to get them."
So maybe that's the way we have to do it. Go down the lanes and the byways and compel them and force them to come in. If there's anything possible, make it so scorching to them, until they'll have to see it, or put on their dark glasses and walk away, refuse to see it. Make it plain, prove it, the Scriptures.

L-29 That's how those brethren was discussing that; they knowed that He was Jehovah. And Abraham knowed that was Jehovah. Now, you say, "He was a man." I know He was a Man. But when Abraham... He ought to knowed; he talked to Him. He called Him "Lord God." Lord God is "Elohim, Lord God, Elohim, the great, all-sufficient One, the Strong One, the Almighty, the self-existing One." That's Who it was standing there eating the meat of a calf, drinking the milk from a cow, eating butter and corn bread. I... God Himself, proving that in the last days, before the world's history would end, that God would manifest Himself again in human flesh. Hallelujah!
He wants to come into your flesh; he wants to come into my flesh and manifest Himself. Sent His Son to die, and He become a propitiation for our sins, and in that He could forgive our sins, that He could cleanse His tabernacle, and He could live in us.

L-30 Jesus said, "The works that I do shall you do also. Even more than this shall you do."
He was just one; now His Spirit's stretched out all around the world. Oh, God can be healing here, can be healing in Africa, healing in Asia, healing all over the world at the same time. Because the Holy Spirit covers the whole earth. God does that. Oh, isn't He wonderful?
