<TITLE>27. Par 242-247</TITLE>L-242 Why, when Moses come out from His Presence, he had to put something over his face, so the people could even look at him. Is that right? He was full of the power of God.
Stephen, a man full of the Holy Ghost. Trying to stop him, why, it was like trying to put out a house on a windy day, in a fire; put the fire out of the--in a house on fire on a windy day. Oh, the more they--the more they blowed it, the worse it got. Why, you couldn't stop him. Directly when they put him before the Sanhedrin Court, the Bible said he stood there, looked like an angel.
Now, I don't think an "angel" just meant he was a certain Being standing there; but an angel knows exactly what he's talking about. So does any angel, a messenger of the church age don't have to go back and see what the seminary thinks. He knows what God said in His Bible, the power that's reflecting to prove that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's not afraid; he's telling just exactly what he knows to be truth. And God's standing right there backing it up with the same kind of signs and wonders, and with the same Word. That's an angel.

L-245 Stephen stood there, said, "I know what I'm talking about." Said, "You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears; you always resist--resist the Holy Ghost. Like your fathers did, so do you." Said, "Which one of your fathers hasn't killed the prophets and then build their tombs to them?"
You denominations, which one of you hasn't done the same thing? See? Build big white-walled castles, and morgues, and things around here, and then talk about God. You're the very one that put Him in the morgue; you're the very one put Him in the tomb. That's the very thing that put Him in the tomb back there, was a big white-castled church, the denominations, Pharisees and Sadducees that put Him in there, and then try to build a memorial to it.

L-247 Let me tell you that Christ is a living Being. He's not something that died; He's Something that rose from the dead and alive forevermore. Oh, brother. Sure. What does it do? It reflects what? It's reflecting from here, what would it be? It would... What's the reflection of Him? Then the first thing it would reflect, would be His Name. Is that right? It would reflect His Name. Next thing would reflect, would be His power. See what I mean? It'd reflect everything He is.
So if this is reflecting to this age here everything that He was, then He is the same. Glory. What is it? It's reflecting Him as He was, as He is, as He always will be, 'cause it's coming straight from the throne of God: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, same God, same power, same glory, same everything. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Oh, brother.
