<TITLE>09. Par -</TITLE>L-15-7 I believe, I just quoted it the last meeting here; I'm not sure. But a brother came to Louisville from down in Georgia, and left his car setting over there, and someone stole it. And he had his clothes, his wife's clothes, his children's clothes... It was Brother Evans here I... (They're usually here.) They drive fifteen hundred miles every day when we have service here, coming in here to have service. And the poor fellow was here without anything and seven hundred and something miles from home.
And he didn't know what to do. He turned it in to the police, but they had a big racket in Louisville. They were stealing cars and painting them. And you can--don't have to have a title there to sell it; and they can make you a title in a few minutes to any number you'd want to put on it.

L-16-2 And so, they were having a terrible time. So we got down on our knees. See, now, Jesus wouldn't have had to do that, for He was the Word. Now, we're not the Word. The Word of the Lord came to the prophets; they wasn't the Word, but the Word come to them. But Jesus was the Word. See? He didn't have to pray; He was God Himself. See? But we are--are His prophets, His servants, who the Word of the Lord comes to. Then the prophet is vindicated by, whether it's the Word of the Lord or not, by what he says comes to pass.

L-16-3 So then, we had a Scripture here that Jesus said, "Wherever two or more are gathered in My Name, and if they will agree (I'll be in their midst)--and if they will agree on touching any one certain thing and ask it (don't doubt it), they shall have what they've asked; it'll be given to them."
Now, there's--there's the law. Now, the One that's here to enforce that law is the Holy Spirit. How about people who don't believe in the Holy Spirit, would reject Him? See? You're--you're rejecting your own peace and mercy. See?

L-16-5 Now, we got on our knees, about five men (with Brother Fred Sothmann, and--and many of the others was there)--four or five men; and we knelt down, and I pleaded this case before God. And then, I took the Word of the promise and sent It forth. The great Holy Spirit, as He took the Word to serve the summons, a vision broke, and I saw a man going towards Bowling Green, Kentucky, with a yellow shirt on, driving this truck. The Holy Spirit come upon him, condemned him, and he turned around (about halfway). I saw him come back and park that car on a certain street, over across the river here. And I raised up and told the brethren, THUS SAITH THE LORD.
And when they started out, they went on the road, and there was the car setting there, half empty with gasoline where the tank half empty (where it had been filled up), just enough to take him half way to Bowling Green and bring him back. Now, those men are setting right here this morning, as a witness.
What is it? Enforcing. "Give it back." See? That's it; that's what it's talking about. "Restore it. Bring it back to its right owner."

L-17-2 And if Satan has robbed you of the privilege of being a son or a daughter of God, we have a right this morning by the Holy Spirit to enforce the claim of God: "Bring them back."
If he's afflicted you and made you sick, we have a right before God to enforce the laws of God: "By His stripes we are healed." Amen. Bring him back; turn him loose. You're taking him out yonder to death, and we claim him. Bring him back."
Now, that's the enforcement. Restore it back to its natural condition again. A man's sick, baby's sick, woman's sick (See?); they're out of their natural condition. Then we have a right to enforce our claim: not our claim it's our claim because God give it to us: "By His stripes we were healed; He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed."
Now, we have a right to enforce that law. And the--the Lawgiver, the Holy Spirit Himself is here, the Agent of God to see that it's done that way. Amen. Now, the only way He can work is when you let Him work. See? You've got to believe it.
