<TITLE>22. Par 55-57</TITLE>L-55 He didn't say, "I'll go down and see what I can do about it." Oh, no, oh, no. "Where have you buried him?"
He didn't say, "Jairus, well, Jairus, I'm sorry I caused you this trouble. Now, your church has excommunicated you, and you're in trouble with your brethren, and all that. I--I know that. And everything. I really feel sorry for you, Jairus, but, if I could have got there a little bit sooner, why, it might have been all right; but, Jairus, I--I'm--I'm sorry to cause you this trouble." Oh, no. Oh, no.
He said, "Did not I say to you, 'only believe, if you want see the glory of God?'" Oh, I imagine that helped his heart, don't you? I imagine seeing his little heart skipping them beats, just start beating back regular again.
Then his eyes was off of the presbyter, off the chief priest, off the rest of the congregation. And walking around, saying, "What are you going to do at the next conference, boy? What are you going to do?" But he kept his eyes on Jesus. Amen. There you are. Keep your eyes on Jesus. I don't care what anybody else says.
"What's the neighbor going to say?" I don't care what the neighbor says. That ain't got nothing to do with it; it's what God said. The neighbor's not my judge. God is my Judge. And He will judge me by Jesus Christ, Who I'm following. Amen. No matter what anyone else says, it's what God said, that's what makes it truth. Amen. God said it; it makes it the truth.
Critics can say anything they want to, but it--it takes what God says to make it be the truth. All right.

L-56 Jesus said, "Only believe." Believe what? Believe what, now? She's dead. Believe for the impossibles. Yeah. Believe for the impossible. "Why, after she's done dead and embalmed, believe now?"
"Sure, I told you just believe if you want to see the glory of God."
"Believe what?"
"Believe anything, whatsoever..." 
"Verily, I say unto you, if you shall say to this mountain, 'Be moved,' and don't doubt in your heart, just only believe, you can have what you say." That's right. "He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Whosoever believeth in Me shall never die. If ye abide in Me and My Word in you, ask what you will, and it'll be given to you." Is that right? All these promises...
"Works that I do shall you do, also. Greater works than this shall you do, 'cause I go to My Father." All these promises here... "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. He was wounded for our transgression (was wounded for our transgression), bruised for our iniquity, chastisement of our peace upon Him; with His stripes we were healed."

L-57 Only believe. Only believe. He's coming soon. He brought Abraham justified him, sanctified him, filled him with the Holy Ghost, placed him as a son, showed Himself alive by turning His back, and talking, and telling what Sarah said in the tent. And then changed his body, and took him out, give him a son.
He's done the same thing through the seed of Abraham, all but change the body. Justified, sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost, placed a son, is coming among us now, showing Himself alive. And waiting for the change of the body, for the rapture to come and take us up to meet Him. Here it is. Just on time. Only believe. Just keep marching on. God's great big time clock's ticking just exactly right. Oh, for the only believe... Sure.
So Jesus finally gets to the house. There's everybody hollering, "Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord, why did You do it? Why did You do it?"
Jesus walks in just as calmly and quiet, said, "Quieten down. Give peace. The girl's not dead. She's only asleep."
And then the Bible said, "They laughed at Him."
He said, "Now, you know what kind of a prophet He is. When we've got her embalmed and He says, 'She's asleep.'"
