<TITLE>13. Par 80-89</TITLE>L-80 Some time ago, standing to a broadcast, a fellow was making fun of the meeting, didn't know who I was. He said, "I don't believe that." Said, "It couldn't be done. I just can't believe it like that." He said, "I've got to... It's got to be scientifically proven to me."
I said, "Then you could never be a Christian. You can never."
He said, "Oh, I'm a Christian."
I said, "You can't be. You cannot." I said, "Scientifically prove to me where Christ is." I said, "Are you a married man?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Do you love your wife?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Scientifically prove to me what love is." He, I said...
"Well," he said, "I couldn't do that."
I said, "Then you haven't got anything I call love. See? Now, you just... You, that's a make-belief in your mind. See? If you can't prove it scientifically. Tell me what... Go down here and buy me a quarter's worth of love. Buy me a dime's worth of faith. You can't do it."

L-84 And the whole armor of God is faith, love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience. The whole armor of the believer is faith. We believe God by faith, because God said so. Then what is it? Abraham was justified by Paul by faith, but by James by works. Abraham was talking what God saw, and James was talking what man saw. "Show me your faith by your works," "without your works," and so forth. See? Then if you don't have works with your faith, it shows you haven't got faith; you're just talking from your mouth. But if you really got faith, you believe it and act like it. That's right. Put it in action.

L-85 Noah did; he put it in action. He went right ahead building the ark. No matter what any science said, "Now, look here; we'll scientifically prove to you there's no rain up there."
"I don't care how much you can prove to me, how much you can say that by scientific research, or whatever you want to call it; God told me there's coming a rain, and I believe God." That's it. "It's going to rain."
"Where's it coming from? Mr. Noah, I would like to ask you, sir, reverend, where is that rain coming from? Where's it at?"
"Well, God's able to put it up there if He told me it's going to there." Right.

L-89 And today they say this can't be done. They see the discernment in the meeting. They say, "It's got to be a telepathy." A telepathy, a telepathy? A discerning of spirits, of visions of the Lord... What kind of a telepathy did the prophets have? What did Jesus have when He stood there that day and here come Philip up? And he got saved and went over and got Nathanael, brought him up before Jesus, and Nathanael said, "Aw, now there could be nothing good come out of--out of Nazareth."
So when he come up to where Jesus was, Jesus looked at him and said, "You're--you are a Israelite. You have no guile."
And he said, "Rabbi, when did You know me? How'd You ever know me?"
Said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree I saw you."
Now, physically, that was... If you was ever there, it's fifteen miles around the mountain. The two places, a day's journey around the mountain. How could He saw him? Then what? Being a man of faith, being a man that wanted to see the Word of God made manifest, wanted to know that God said, "The Lord your God shall raise up..." When the Messiah comes He's going to be a Prophet just like he was. And he saw that, and He knowed. He said, "Rabbi, You're the Son of God." That's right. His name's immortal.
