<TITLE>07. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 And I believe that He promised, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so would it be in the coming of the Son of man." And we find out that in Sodom the--there was a--a--a sinners, a bunch of sinners, Sodomites. Then there was a bunch of Christians, lukewarm believers which represented the church living among them. Lot and his people, holiness people, sins of the city vexed his righteous soul... Then there was an elected group which Abraham had, called out. And each one of them received a sign. And I believe that the sign that the Angel of the Lord did, manifested in flesh there, was the sign of the manifestation of Christ in His church at the last days.
Now, Jesus said, Saint John 14:12, "The works that I do, shall you do also." He also said, "A little while and the world (the world order) will see Me no more; yet ye shall see Me (The church, the believers, the called out, the elected.), for I ('I,' not someone else but 'I,' personal pronoun.), I'll be with you, even in you to the end of the world." Hebrews 13:8 said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Then if He is the same today as He was then, He's the same Saviour, the same Healer, the same High Priest, the same Lord, He's just as He was then, only instead of being in a corporal body named Jesus, God is living in His church, your body, my body, that He sanctified with His own Blood that He might cleanse us by the washing of the water by the Word and present to God a church without spot or wrinkle. That He... "The works that I do shall he do... These signs shall follow them that believe," the supernatural.

L-18 All right. In Matthew 14:27...
And straightway Jesus said unto them,... Be not afraid--be of a good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
"Be not afraid; it is I." Now, carry that in your mind now reverently and you especially that's sick. And you that's not saved, hasn't come into the fellowship of the Spirit yet, carry that in your mind, and I'll hurry just quick as I can, call the prayer line.

L-19 Watch this conversation. Let's break in, and now make a little drama out of it so the young folks can catch it. The sun had just set, or was setting across the horizon in the west when its last glimpse is on the Sea of Galilee. I can see the brawny muscles of the big fisherman as he was pushing the little boat by the stern, as the bow of it pushed out into the water, the people standing on the banks waving and crying. As he finally got the little boat off the gravel, into the water, climbs up to the middle of the boat where his brother Andrew was setting by the side of an oar, and took his place... They'd make a stroke or two and then wave to the people on the bank, stroke or two and wave to the people on the bank.
