<TITLE>17. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 But remember, He hadn't gotten too far. When He seen them go off, He knowed what was going to happen; and that's the reason He knowed over here to predict the end at the beginning. He knowed the Laodicean church age was going to push Him out. So He made preparations to meet it. "Those who I love, I chasten and rebuke. I stand at the door and knock. If any man will open, and let Me in, I'll come in and sup with him," if you'll just open up and let Him in.
And when the winds are blowing, and it's contrary, and we see it's hard to move, that's the way they were; but He had climbed up the highest hill there was in Galilee, highest hill in Palestine maybe. He was upon the mountain. Higher you go, farther you can see; and He climbed up there so He could watch over them.
And when He seen them in distress, He was high enough till He could see them. And when He was here on earth, He realized that we was coming to this condition. So He didn't only climb the mountain of Calvary, but He climbed on a past the moon and stars, until He set down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. And His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He's watching this meeting tonight. He hasn't gone too far. He's watching you.

L-58 When the little ship's tossed about... This boy here, his little ship--yours, yours, out here all around, your little ship's tossed about. The doctor says, "I can't get well. I'm paralyzed. I got cancer. I'm going to die."
He knows that, but His eye is on the sparrow. He's redeemed you. He paid the price. He was wounded for your transgressions; with His stripes you were healed. The preparation's made, and He climbed up to the ramparts of glory and set down at the right hand of God on high, watching over you, ever living to make intercession.
The Bible said He's setting there, a--a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, the same High Priest that was here on earth, the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you'd touch Him, He'd act like He did when He was on earth. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-59 A woman touched His garment, went out, and got in the crowd, and set down. She didn't get in the line. The rest of them was in the line. She didn't get in the line, so she touched His garment, and went, and set down in the audience. So He turned around and said, "Who touched Me?"
And the apostles Peter rebuked him and said, "Everybody's touching You. Why do You say a thing like that?"
He said, "But I got weak. Virtue gone from Me," a vision. Something happened. It was a certain kind of touch.
All these programs today is not touching Him. It takes an individual's heart to touch Him...?... somebody that'll believe and lay aside your superstitions and believe Him.
"Somebody touched Me," He said, "I got weak. Virtue (strength) went out of Me." And He looked around over the audience until He found the little woman, told her her blood issue she'd had, her faith has saved you. See? "Thy faith has saved." "Sozo," saved, same word, physically or spiritual. See? "Thy faith has saved thee."

L-60 Now, if He's the same High Priest, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, if you would touch Him, how would He act? If He's the same, He'd act the same.
I challenge this audience tonight to believe that story to be true. See if He isn't still the same High Priest. See if He doesn't act tonight like He did when He was in Galilee. See if He doesn't do the same thing.
We're not playing church. Too late in the hours, the sun's setting; it's time to be realistic. It's time for man and women to throw off their--their--their church coats; lay aside your denominational rags and look to God and have a Pentecostal revival in the Pentecostal church.
Touch Him and see if He's still the High Priest. I challenge that to you. Believe it. See what happens.
