<TITLE>08. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 "So that settled it forever for me. For I know that the Bible said that that's the way that Jehovah created bread. And brethren, He didn't cook it; He didn't bake it. He didn't go at the sea to catch fish, nor neither did He cook the fish. He just broke off a piece of cooked fish, and when He reached back, there was another piece of fish already cooked. (I want to ask this audience something. What kind of an atom did He turn loose there?) He never growed wheat and made bread. He just took the biscuit, or the little loaf, and He tore it in two, and handed it over to Simon. And when He looked back to get Andrew a piece, another one was growed on."
"I've watched Him do that five thousand or more times. To me, He's Jehovah. He's a Creator. I just wish that my mother could've lived to have seen that, or been here today to watch that. How I would liked to have went and got her, and put my arms around her, and said, 'Mother, that is that Jehovah that you talked about, for He's the Creator. His children was hungry, just like they were hungry in the wilderness, and He provided bread out of the heavens, and fed two and a half million people.'"
"And here today, standing on earth, living in the form of His own Son, the Lord Jesus our Saviour, I seen Him with the power of His Father break the bread, and hand it out, the same creative power. Therefore, I know that He is truly the Son of God. I believe it."

L-26 Simon, setting right across from him on the other side of the ship, pushing back the perspiration off his brow, he said, "Brethren, I'd like to give my testimony." You know, there's something about it when Christians get together and they start testifying, there's just no end to it. They just keep on. One's got to have something to say, because He's so good to us, till we just want to express it some way. And we never find a place to stop, He's so good.
Simon, the great brawny fisherman, I can imagine him giving his testimony. He said, "Oh, my brother Andrew, setting right here ahead of me, I remember him telling me that he'd met some sort of a prophet. And he come and got me to go to the meeting one day. And I remembered what My Father told me. And you brethren know that My Father was a Pharisee. And I stayed with our denomination, our--'cause I was a Pharisee too. He was a Pharisee..."

L-27 And he said, "You know what happened? I remember hearing my father, before he left the earth... When he was getting old and his hair was gray one day, he set me down on the side of the ship and he said, 'Simon, my little son, daddy has always believed that I'd live to see the day to see the Messiah. But I don't know whether I will now or not. I may be summoned any time to answer. But Simon, my father passed this information to me, and I'm passing it on to you."
"Now, in the day of the true Messiah, there'll be a lot of things raise up, Simon, that's falsely. (And we know the Bible said it happened. Always does.) But Simon, don't you be deceived, son, if it comes in your day. Now, Simon, you'll have to stay straight with the Scriptures to know Him. Don't take what someone else says about it. Stay with the Scriptures, Simon."

L-28 "Now, the Bible says our prophet, Moses, told us that the Lord our God should raise up a prophet likened unto him. Now, Simon, this Messiah will be a prophet, and the--the sign that He will give that He is a prophet, that He--that He is the Messiah, it'll be a prophet sign. And Simon, you know that we always believe our prophets, 'cause when our prophets speak and what he says comes to pass, then God told us to hear that prophet. 'I'm with him.'"
"'But if he speaks, and it doesn't come to pass, then don't fear that prophet.' But if it does come to pass... Now, it's been four hundred years, Simon, since our last prophet. We know that next prophet to arise is going to be Messiah, and you watch for Him; He will do the sign of the prophet."
