<TITLE>08. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 There was a question asked here in the Scripture, and this morning I left off speaking on the word of "expectation," to expect... Now, I trust that you took it home with you, and searched through the Scriptures to find out what to expect. God's Word tells us what we can expect. And if we receive this Word without any doubt mixed into it, we will receive what we come for. But if you go away saying, "Well now, just as expected, I..." Well, you won't see a thing. But if you come expecting to see the Lord Jesus manifest Hisself amongst the people, you'll go away satisfied. You certainly will. You'll know that something happened.
But if you say, "Well, I... just as I expected, just another, oh, an evangelist standing up speaking," and that--then that's what--all you'll get. You usually get what you're looking for.
So open up your heart tonight, and take down the umbrella, and just, oh, just receive God in your heart. And go away--go back to your churches wherever you're from and tell your pastor that truly the Lord Jesus is the great Healer; that He's the One Who saves and fills the believer with His Spirit, and makes him a new creatures in Christ. The pastor say, "How do you know that?"
Say, "I'm experienced. I know."

L-26 A brother not long ago that disagrees upon Christ being the Healer (He makes Him some historical God), he said, "Oh, I don't believe anything would happen." Said, "I still don't believe in Divine healing."
I said, "Certainly not. It wasn't for you. It wasn't for unbelievers; it was for those who believe. It's just meant for believers." He--He didn't purchase our--our healing for unbelievers; He purchased for them that believe. The promise is not to unbelievers, but to them that believe.

L-27 So these Greeks come up to the feast. Now, the Greeks was learned people, and they came up to this feast of Pentecost to--to worship. And while they were at the temple they had heard about the Lord Jesus. And somehow or another, I don't believe that there is anybody who can ever hear that lovely Name called will ever--but what would desire to see Him. When you hear of Jesus, there's something about that Name of the Lord Jesus that--that inspires, and you can never feel the same.
It's a Name above all names. He came down from heaven, and the world give Him the lowest name there was on the earth: Beelzebub, a fortuneteller, a devil. And He went to the lowest city there is in the earth: Jericho, and was so low till the smallest man in the city had to look down on Him to see Him: Zacchaeus.
But when He paid the price of redemption, God gave Him a Name above every name. Even all the family in heaven and earth is named Jesus. And He exalted His throne so high till He has to look down to see heaven. That's the difference: the way the world treated Him, and the way the Father treated Him when He come up.

L-28 Now, so these Greeks were curious, and they'd heard about Him, heard of His great works. So through, perhaps, curiosity, or maybe for sincere benefits, they came and said, "Sirs, we would see Jesus." And I believe if I could interpret the mind of this church tonight, these people, that's the desire of our heart. How many here would like to see Jesus? Sure.
Well then, I'm going to ask you a question. Did they--did they get to see Him? Yes, sir. Philip took them to see Him, took them to one of the brothers, and they taken them to see Jesus. So if they inquired, and desired to see Jesus, they were given the privilege of seeing Him by one of His servants. Now. And if Hebrews 13:8 is correctly inspired Scripture, that said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever," then if that's our desire, then why can't we see Him?
