<TITLE>30. Par 247-257</TITLE>L-247 And one day a little woman pressed through a crowd. She had a blood issue. And she said...
When all of them was saying, "Here He is. Look at Him. There's that Galilean," so and forth. All them rabbis and so forth standing there, saying, "Rabbi, we seek a sign from You," and so forth like that.
This little woman said, "I believe Him to be the Son of God. And I believe if I can only touch the border of His garment, I'll be made whole." How many know that? She touched Him, not that He could feel; but He stopped and turned around, said, "Who touched Me? Somebody touched Me." Everybody kept real quiet. Said, "Somebody touched Me." Said, "Who touched Me?"
And He looked around till He found the little woman. She couldn't hide herself. Couldn't find it... Found her, and said, "Thy faith has saved thee." The... Told her her blood issue had been saved--been stanched, because that she had believed, and her faith touched His garment. You believe that? All right.

L-252 Now, is He a High Priest today that's setting at the right hand of God, making intercessions on our confession? Does the Bible say that He's the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities? Is that right? All right, if you're sick, you start praying, and say, "Lord God, I've just heard a message. I--I don't know this man. I'm--I'm here in the Tabernacle. I don't come here; this is not my home church. I'm from somewhere else. I'm from out of town; I'm from somewhere else. I don't know the man. But he makes it, seems to make it so positive that it's You, and said that You appeared to him, that his message was right, and how You do these things. Now, I don't know the man, but I know You. So if he has dedicated himself to You, and You're using his body to speak Your Own Words through, let him speak to me. Let me touch Your garment, Lord." And see if He does or not, see if He's God.

L-253 If He is still God, He can use my lips to speak the same words that He would do, 'cause He has no lips but mine and yours. He has no eyes but ours. So He just comes down and operates His Church through our body. You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Operates, Hisself! That's what He said. "The works that I do, you shall do the same." Is that right? ["Amen."] "Same works, you shall do." That was the works He did, to prove He was Messiah. Now, if He is Messiah, and He is, then, that being true, then He does the same works right now, through His Church, that He did then. That proves that it's right, regardless of all your denominations. Oh, hallelujah!

L-254 Little old Brother Kidd and Sister Kidd setting here, both of them in they're eighty years old, preaching 'fore I was borned. Here he laid the other morning, dying, with a cancer, about two years ago, cut into his prostates, way up in Ohio: been very dear friends of mine. Sister Kidd called me, said, "Billy, you better hurry. He's just dying, right dying now." And Billy and I liked to burnt that old second-handed car of mine up, getting up there.
When I got there in the room, as soon as I got there, the Holy Spirit spoke, "THUS SAITH THE LORD."
There he stands, a witness to the glory of God, even got his doctor all tore up. It's just... He's God. Could I do that? No, sir. My words are no more than any man's. But that was THUS SAITH THE LORD. Amen.

L-257 Years ago, down in the mountains of Kentucky, a little old Church of God, or some of them, packing up and down the hillsides, beating corn out with a piece of stuff, little old mother Kidd, to feed a bunch of children, washing over a tub to send her husband out in the field, and here they are in their eighties, setting up here today, enjoying the Gospel of Jesus Christ, driving a hundred and something miles on Sunday morning, every Sunday I preach down here, if they can hear about it. Sure, we send them an invitations, they want to come. Bless their little old hearts. That's right. I want every person in here to shake their hands this morning, if they can, bless them.
