<TITLE>21. Par 82-86</TITLE>L-82 The Fatherhood... not even an animal could touch the mountain, he must be stoned, or cut through with a--a spear. That great Pillar of Fire... Then that Pillar of Fire was made flesh and dwelled among us. What is it? God, condescending. We felt God, touched God, God was manifested in flesh among us.
Jesus said, "It's not Me that doeth the works. It's My Father. He dwells in Me." Then He said, "I come from God, and I go to God." Then He--He died, crucified; rose the third day, and after His ascension, Paul was on his road down to Damascus, one day, to arrest some Christians. And that same Pillar of Fire fell before him, even put out his eyes. The rest of them didn't see it, but it was so real to him it made him blind. And he said, "Lord, Who are You?"
And He said, "I'm Jesus."

L-83 And if that same God, the Holy Spirit, working among us... Then He manifests Himself in our flesh, like He did then. So I believe it, God. Now, I'm speaking to you as a believer. Now, You speak back the way You did through Your church. Why, that's Him Who's... When You speak in an unknown tongues, and they interpret it, and tell the truth, that's God, God in you. See?
See, all that God was He poured into Christ. All Christ was He poured into the church. So it's God above us, God with us, God in us. See, see? Now, you just believe, and look this way, and say, "Lord Jesus, I believe," and God will send His Spirit down. And see if He don't do the same way He did back there. Now, just be reverent. Don't be just... I want you to praise God, but when you're approaching these things, come real reverent.

L-84 Now, here is a man, and here is my Bible. I have never in my life seen this man as I know of. He might've been in a meeting somewhere, and perhaps he's never seen me. If it has been, it's been somewhere where he's been in a meeting, or somewhere, maybe seen me or... Have you ever looked at me before? Never seen me in your life. This is our first time meeting.
Now, if the man... He might be sick. He might be standing there for somebody else. He may have domestic trouble; he may have financial troubles; he might be a deceiver. And if he is, watch what happens. See? Just watch. See? I don't know. But if the Holy Spirit can come here, and tell two strangers... tell him something that has been, or something about him, or what he's here for, then he will know whether it's the truth or not. He will--He will verify that. And then, if He can tell him what has been, surely he'd believe if you'd tell him what would be. Certainly. See? That's why we have confidence in the Bible. (See? See?) It's truth.

L-85 And I wonder how many of you pilgrims tonight, sojourners here in the city, and around about, would believe, and know that it would be impossible for me--a man--to do that? Why, sure, it would. If you're mentally right, you'd believe it. It's totally impossible. So there would have to be some kind of a power to do that. You know he would. Well, now, it depends on what power you think it is where your reward will come from. See?
Now, the Pharisees said when they seen it, "It's Beelzebub"; but the believers said, "It's the Son of God." Now, we know the Scripture has promised it in this last day, hasn't it? He promised it, we know.

L-86 Listen to these ministers here saying, "Amen." That's your shepherds. They know what they're talking about. See? They know it. And I am their brother, fellow citizen of the Kingdom, working for the Kingdom of God. They're clergymen, speakers, great forceful preachers. I am not. This is my ministry. This is when I'm doing my preaching, just by a gift. And I love the people real well, and the Lord let me preach to them this way.
Now, if the Holy Spirit will say these things, and do that, will it convince you, every one, that Jesus Christ lives today, and He's here again? It would do you, wouldn't it, sir? It certainly did Nathanael. He was a believer, because no matter what any of the rest of them said, it sure worked on him. And he knowed.
