<TITLE>24. Par 61-62</TITLE>L-61 Oh, how hard it is when unbelief... Like last night when we was setting here in the meeting, that streak of unbelief struck this place, it was just... It was terrible.
One of these nights, I'm just going to reach right down and call them guys out. It's going to hurt a lot of feelings, but it's good... I used to do that all the time, and you know I did. But I--I've held--restrained from it, just because the feeling of the people, 'cause if you pluck up the--the tares, you get a lot of wheat too. See? So now, it's too close to the end time now. So we'll just go ahead, just keep marching. But when it--it--it hinders the people. It really hinders the people that can't have faith, that can't believe. See, when such as that is going on.
And so, then when He got everything out, everybody but just, His faith, hope, and charity, standing there: Peter, James and John, the faithful ones, and the real believing father and mother, He walked over to the corpse. Oh, See? He couldn't have done it, standing there, all them saying, "Why, look at that? A prophet, and says she's asleep. Now, I told you, told you, told you. See how it is? That--that... There's nothing to it. It's just a big bunch of emotion, workup; that's all there is to it."
Jesus couldn't do a thing about it; He couldn't do a thing about it tonight. When He come to His own country, not anything--many works He could do, because of their unbelief. And them carrying on like that, neither could He do it then, and He cannot do it tonight. But if He could just ever get them shut out to a place that He could be with the believers...
Then He walked over to the corpse that was laying there. The little girl was dead, perhaps, embalmed and laying out. Walked over and took her by the hand, looked out there into the space world, yonder somewhere where her soul had went, and said, "Maiden, arise."
How could death exist in the presence of Life? The little girl, the wrinkles on her forehead begin--her smooth little forehead begin to wrinkle, and her eyes come open. He took her by the hand, and raised her up, said, "Give her something to eat. And don't, just don't say nothing about it. Let them alone out there. Don't tell them nothing; just--just go ahead. (See?) Let it go."

L-62 Oh, my. All things are possible. Only believe. What was He? He was the Word of God flesh. And tonight they're--that same God is, same Word of God is in your flesh, if Christ is in there. And He's the same Lord Jesus; you could touch His garment or whatever you wished to. If you'll only believe that He's here, He will do the same thing for you. Do you believe it?
Let's bow our heads just a moment. I'm going to ask the organist here, if they will go to the organ just a moment. I want you to play, "Only Believe."
Everyone, now, please, don't stir around. Just a moment. After preaching like that, it's kind of a hard thing. I just want to pray. I want to see what He will do, ask what He will do for me, ask what He will do for you.
