<TITLE>18. Par 67-71</TITLE>L-67 And right in the hour when all hopes that the--the church was waterlogged and was going out on the wrong end, here He come walking right among them. And they were scared of Him. The only hope they had of saving themselves from that waterlogged ship in that storm, they was scared of the only hope they had. They were afraid of it. If they'd just knowed the Scripture... They were afraid of it, and they said, "It's spooky; it's a spirit," and they cried out for fear. "Don't have nothing to do with it; it's telepathy, it's a fortuneteller."
Jesus spoke, said, "Don't be afraid. It's I." He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. You believe that, don't you?

L-68 I hate to stop this testimony, but I'd--I'd like for us... I trust now, as we pray, that He will give us a personal testimony. Don't be afraid. It's Him, the same One. He's the High Priest, setting at the right hand of His majesty in glory, that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. And if He's the same High Priest that He was then, He can be touched by the feeling of your infirmities, and He will act in the same way He acted then, because He's the same High Priest. Let us bow our heads.

L-69 Great heavenly Father, Who has the--those great men that give the testimony to us tonight, the writer, Matthew, and all the dear beloved saints that were authorized to write this Bible...
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... say that it's right.
But God, I believe that those disciples were authorized to write the Word, for at the end of the Book it said, "Whosoever shall add anything to it or take anything from it..." I believe it. My hopes is built on nothing else but that, Lord, and the hopes of this little group of people here tonight. We appreciate their testimony being kept by You, that we can read it. And we read there that You are the same.
Now, Father, I pray that You'll walk in tonight, among the people. And the God that was in that mortal flesh that talked to Abraham, the God that was in the mortal flesh of His Son, Christ Jesus, may that same God make Himself known tonight in a church that He has sanctified with His own Blood, and has washed it, and cleaned the house out of unbelief, and moved in to abide unto the end of the world as He promised. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, I ask it. Amen.

L-70 Now, I come not to heal the sick; I come to pray for God's sick children. I...?... God heals the sick, and the sick is already healed. Anyone knows that.
I didn't come to save the lost; I come to tell the lost that they're already saved, if they'll just accept it. I've come to tell those who have been saved, and wants this evidence, that they have--they have got the assurance and tasted the heavenly gifts from across the Jordan yonder, as Hebrews 6 said they would, "been made partakers of the Holy Ghost and tasted the heavenly gifts."

L-71 If you'd like to taste of it, I recommend you to the Book of Acts, where Peter said at the day of Pentecost, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins; you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." If you've never been baptized yet, and you have repented, there's going to be a baptismal service here tomorrow. Come down. Believe it. When you step into the waters, believe that God's going to give you the Holy Ghost. He will do it. It's what He promised. He can't lie; He has to keep His Word, and He will do it. You come believing it.
