<TITLE>11. Par 89-96</TITLE>L-89 Now, after His death, burial, and resurrection, Saul of Tarsus, on his road down to Damascus to arrest the Pentecostal people, on his road down there, what happened? A Pillar of Fire, a Light struck him down. Nobody else saw It. He saw It. It put his eyes out for a season. It was so real to him; when the rest of them standing there, couldn't see a thing; but It was so bright to him, It put his eyes out. And He said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
He said, "Who are You, Lord?" Now, listen.
"I am Jesus. And it's hard for you to kick against the pricks." You remember that. Well, here He is, that same Pillar of Fire that was.
Then if He's the same yesterday, then in Paul's day, today, He will be the same forever. So that great Pillar of Fire, God, the Angel of the covenant, is the same today as It was when It led Israel. Notice.
Now, we're going to start His ministry, in St John 1. We know... We'll bypass His calling and birth, and John the Baptist, and take to His baptism, then into the wilderness, tempted of the devil, come back out after forty days and nights of fasting in the wilderness. He come back out and started His ministry. Now, let's--let's follow His ministry here. Immediately, people begin to get healed from being prayed for by Him.

L-93 And we find that there was a man by the name of Simon, and he came to Jesus by the invitation of his brother Andrew. And when he walked up in the Presence of Jesus... Now remember, here comes the key man. Now, we understand, according to Acts the 4th chapter, that he was an ignorant and a unlearned man. We're taught that he couldn't even sign his own name. Now, he wasn't a scholar. He wasn't a bishop. He wasn't a--a priest. He was a fisherman.
God always takes something that's nothing and makes something out of it to... He manifests Himself through nothing, so that anyone can see it's God. See, He takes something that's nothing.
And He picked up this ignorant man. Now, how's He going to make this man know that He is? 'Cause there'd been many fakes had gone on. And we've had them through the ages.

L-96 And whenever you pick up a bogus dollar, and look at that bogus dollar, you just remember that that bogus dollar is made off of a genuine dollar. For if there was no genuine dollar, then that bogus would be the--the original copy. See? So as long as you see somebody impersonating or playing the part of hypocrite, just remember, there's a genuine Christian somewhere. See? You see somebody introducing some kind of an ecclesiastical system of a--a false god, or some kind of a--a psychic, ecclesiastical, mental workup, just remember, behind there somewhere there's a real genuine God. Notice. Oh, I just love it. Notice.
