<TITLE>10. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 And as soon as he got up, well, Philip said, "Come, see Who we have found: the Messiah. We've found He that was spoke of by Moses and the prophets: Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph."
He didn't stop to ask how the orchard was getting along. The... He was thoroughly convinced. That's what's the trouble today. We have so much other stuff that we pack along, that it seems like we're not exactly convinced. So if we're convinced it's right, straight to the punch. Believe it.
"Oh, I've come into Brother Roberts' meeting. I'll be prayed for. If I miss it there, I'll go over to Brother Allen's meeting. If I miss it there I'll catch Brother Branham." See, it's not... Don't do that. Be convinced that He's God, and believe it, that His Word is right, and settle it right there, perfectly satisfied. There's nothing in we men; we're men. It's He's the One that died. He's the One, yea, that raised again, and is alive forevermore. We're mortal beings, His representatives. We--we die, men; but He cannot die. He's the immortal One.

L-40 Now, and Philip went right straight to the point and said, "Come, see Him. We found Him."
"And Nathanael, do you remember that hot flash that passed through you? You thought, what had happened to me? Surely I'd went off on a deep end somewhere."
"Why, you said, 'Philip, what's happened to you? Why, if the Messiah would come, He would walk right down the corridors of heaven, come right down to our--our own group. And He would speak right straight to our own group of the Pharisees, and the Sadducees, and be out of it altogether. So there would be nothing else to it. Well, and He'd come right up to the temple to the headquarters, and--and there He'd make Hisself known to Caiaphas, the high priest, and that would settle it.'"

L-41 But you know, God does things in His own way. He's just got a way of doing it. He always has things like that that He does, that... He's--He's God, and He--He works as God. He--He serves as God, because He's the immortal, infinite. How can our little finite mind ever reach out there to that infinite mind of God? Oh, He's omnipresent, omniscient. He's--He's God.
And there, when he--he said, "I never wasted any words with Nathanael. I said, Come and see."

L-42 That's a good idea. See? Don't stay home and criticize. Come find out for yourself. That's the best way. "Search the Scriptures," Jesus said, "for in them you think they have--you have Everlasting Life, and they are they that testify of Me." In other words, "If I, if I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if I do the works, and you can't believe Me, believe the works"; for the works is what testifies of the testimony. You can testimony, but the works that you do, and the life that you live speaks louder than all the testimony that you could give. So the works speaks louder than the testimony.
He said, "Believe the works that I do. And if I don't do the works of God, then don't believe Me. But if I do the works, then if you believe Me as being God, then believe the works that I do." Now, notice, He never taken credit to Himself. He said, "It's not Me. It's the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the work."
