<TITLE>15. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 Well, Jairus said, "Come, lay Your hand on my daughter and she will live," a Jew.
But the Roman said, "I'm not worthy that You come under my roof. Just speak the Word." See? He said, "I'm a man under authority. I say to this man, 'Come,' he comes and that one, 'Go,' he goes." He knowed everything under him... He was a century--century of man, which means a hundred. That hundred men was under him. What he said they had to do.
What did he recognize in Jesus Christ? That all sickness and diseases was under Him, under His control. "Just speak the Word." Amen. There you are. Don't need hands laid...
And what did Jesus say? He turned around and said, "I never found faith like this in Israel." Well, that's the kind of faith we want here in California, that kind of faith, "Speak the Word."

L-51 That's all it needs. Not some man say, "Well, glory to God, Brother So-and-so laid hands on me. I felt something go through me." You might've felt his hands laying on you, but you never felt nothing. See? Jesus never did say, "Did you feel it?" He said, "Did you believe it?" That's it. "If you believe it..."
It's a fini--not a feeling up there, it's a believing up there. "He that believeth," right where you are. I don't say you don't feel something. I know I've felt some strange feelings, but I never did rest my faith upon a feeling. I can't build my doctrine upon a sensation. I've got to build it upon THUS SAITH THE LORD by the Word of God.
And that's the reason tonight... And then if it's built upon that Word and there's enough faith in that to make that Word be made manifest... Jesus died and gave His Life that He might sanctify a Church that He could be universally, around the world all the time in His Church. This Holy Spirit here...

L-52 When Jesus was God made flesh, the Fullness of God was in Him. He had the Spirit without measure. We have it by measure. Now, what if you go out to here pick up a spoonful of--of water out of the ocean. Well, that--that what Jesus had, the whole ocean; but you and I have got a spoonful. That's the difference. You'd never miss it. He don't have to have us, but we have to have Him. But if you took that spoonful of water and took it down to the laboratory, the same chemicals that's in the entire ocean is in that spoonful.
And when God on the day of Pentecost, when He come down like a rushing wind, did you notice He was a Pillar of Fire, but did you notice He separated Himself from that Pillar of Fire, divided Himself amongst His people, and cloven tongues of fire set upon each of them: God separating Himself to His Church. No wonder He spoke, "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst. If two will agree upon anything, and ask, I'll give it to you." See? What is that? When the little fire here and a little fire here, each one of you is a part of God, when we come together, it's the body of Christ uniting. God separating Himself giving part to me, and part to you, and part to the next fellow, so we can all live and have Eternal Life.
And now, that Eternal Life comes from the word, the Greek word, as I said, "Zoe," which means "God's own Life."

L-53 Now, must've been while they were testifying of this... All at once Andrew must've set down, and Satan must've looked back over through the dark clouds (I'm closing now), and he saw them gone off without Jesus. That's just as good as he wanted.
And now, my brethren, my sisters, let's just look now right straight in the face. They had gone off without Jesus. I believe that that's what's happened to the church to make up this Laodicean church age. The church has gone off without Jesus. We've gone off on great tantrums. We've gone to a place to where we've got a big building program, see who could build the biggest church.
We've gone off on educational programs. We've gone off on denominational programs. We've gone off on all kinds of programs, and what do we have hatched out? We've hatched out a bunch of denominational children. That's right.
