<TITLE>21. Par 96-101</TITLE>L-96 Now, audience, I want to ask you one question, solemnly, sacredly. In a few moments we'll be closing. As I said, we may never meet again. I hope we do. But remember, we'll have to give an account for tonight when we come to the judgment. I'll have to give an account for what I've said, for what I do. It all has to be counted up for to God. And if--if I'm found guilty, you know what happens to me. I'd rather... Let me die a sinner, but never let me die a deceiver. Let me be truthful, honest.

L-97 Now, look. If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and I pray this... Now, I don't know that He will, 'cause this is just a little audience of people, and there's people standing, and it's time... I'm way overtime. It'd be hard to run a prayer line up through here, but I'm--I'm going to pray for you in the audience. But let... I pray that God will give you something that you can put your hands on like Jacob had, that you never had (See?), something you can lay your hands on.

L-98 Now, to you people out there that's suffering, I spoke to you about an Angel that came down, which was God manifested in a human body, which He is manifested in us if we're believers. And then, when He had His back turned, Sarah... He understood what Sarah was saying and doing in the audience.
Then one time, to make it clearer to you, that He passed through a crowd of people, and there was a little woman who probably would be just as disappointed as anyone here...
We usually... Last night we got in a little stir. And we had so many people to be prayed for, we had the boy to go give out some prayer cards while I was yet preaching. And so, sometimes they come back and forth, and back and forth. And you all want to go to Sunday school. Someone told me outside, said, "Let out early, 'cause these people's got to drive far, and get back for Sunday school."
I want to keep that promise. I said, "I will. I'll do it," See? And I want you to hold...

L-99 It--it's the main thing is get a hold of something that's real. How many believes that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Then if--if I told you the spirit of John Dillinger had come on me, I'd be a dangerous person to be around. I'd have guns and be an outlaw. If I told you the spirit of--of some great artist was on me, you'd expect me to paint the picture like that artist could. If I told you the spirit of--of--of Houdini, the escape artist, you'd expect me to do the things that he did. If I told you the spirit of some great musician was upon me, you'd expect me to touch those keys just in a way, because his spirit is upon me. See?

L-100 And if I tell you the Spirit of Christ is upon me, then do the works of Christ. Christ said that God was in Him. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. We all know that--that God represented Himself in Christ to reconcile the world to Himself. He was Immanuel. Jesus said, "It's not Me that does the works. It's My Father that dwells in Me, He does the works."
And passing through with that same Spirit in Him, a little woman touched the border of His garment. Now, He didn't feel that physically. You know He never. Certainly not. 'Cause the Palestinian garment, if anybody knows, it had a underneath garment, and a big loose garment a-hanging down like that. So He'd never touch... He'd... She'd never... He'd never feel that and everybody around Him. But she touched His garment by faith.

L-101 Blind Bartimaeus touched His garment one day at the gate, 'cause He'd have never heard that cry. Some of them saying, "Hey, you who raised the dead. There's a whole graveyard full of them out here. Come do it," and making fun of Him; and the priests and everything, "Come do this, and do that." He never said a word.
But a blind beggar... O God. Jesus stopped, said, "Bring him here," See?
