<TITLE>14. Par 119-127</TITLE>L-119 Every man that's ever amounted to a hill of beans, believed that; every poet that's hilled--that's thrilled every heart, that's ever done anything...
Eddie Perronet, who wrote the inauguration song... His songs wouldn't sell. One day the Spirit grabbed ahold of him; he took the quill in his hand; he wrote with the Spirit,
All hail the power of Jesus' Name,
Let Angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all. Amen.
Old blind Fanny Crosby, one night she was asked why she wouldn't write worldly songs. She said, "I'm a Christian." How much different she is from Elvis Presley. They said... Why, the men made fun of her, said, "There is no such a thing." Said, "What do you mean, if He won't open your eyes?"
She said, "God has chose my lot."
And he said, "Well, how will you ever know? If you die, and there is such a place, you can't see Him."
She said, "I'll have my sight over there."
"Well," said, "what if you haven't got your sight?"
She said, "I'll know Him anyhow."
Said, "How you think you'll know Him?"
Said, "I'll feel the nail prints in His hand." Then she turned, and she--inspiration struck her, and she sang,
I shall know, yes, I shall know Him,
And redeemed by His side I shall stand;
I shall know Him by the nail prints in His hand.
My, She wrote,
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
For, Thou the Stream of all my comfort,
More than life to me; 
Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
Or whom in heaven but Thee?

L-124 Sure, anybody that ever amounted to anything, believed Him to be Emmanuel. He was more than a prophet. He was a prophet, but He was a God-Prophet, Emmanuel, God in flesh.
He never come with a salute of heaven. He never come as an Angel. He come as Abraham's Seed to show the last day super sign of God. Oh, yes, to make a super Seed, a super race, the race that had been promised, Abraham's race, to bring forth a super Seed that we've been talking about, a super Christ.
What did they do to Him when He come on earth? They made fun of Him. They called the Spirit that was working in Him, where He could discern spirits, and so forth, they said, "It's the devil. He's Beelzebub, a fortuneteller." And in the physical part, the body part, they hung it on a tree and put Him to death.

L-127 But He was a super Sign. He rose up again on the third day, for He trusted the Word of God. David said under inspiration, "I'll not leave His soul in hell, neither will I suffer My holy One to see corruption." Therefore, Jesus knew that the Scripture spoke of Him, that He would not see corruption. Corruption sets in in seventy-two hours on a dead body. We know that. And He knowed, sometime between that, He'd raise from the dead. And He rose up from the dead, for He was a super Sign. The prophets were signs, sure, but they died and went into the grave. But Jesus was the super Sign; He come out of the grave. Amen. Super race... Yes, sir. A super Christ...
After two thousand years now, two thousand years, with all the critics and everything else, He still remains the same today. "I'll give you a super Sign, a great Sign." The people want something super, so the church got something super, not just a handshake, not just a--a formal baptism; but a baptism of the Holy Ghost; not just a actual, dry-eyed confession, but a Spirit of Christ living in them, bringing their very life up to a place that serves Christ and live with Christ.
