<TITLE>18. Par 67-70</TITLE>L-67 There you are. What a disgrace. What a pity that must be before the Father when the Tutor comes up, the Holy Spirit, and brings that, 'cause He is our Tutor. We know that. Now, now, this... And the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible. The Bible said so, "Man of old moved by the Holy Ghost wrote the Bible." So the Bible is written by inspiration. There's no private interpretation. It's just the way it's wrote, right there. Just take it, and believe it; act on it. God will bring it to pass. I've never seen Him promise anything yet but what He done it. He will always do it.
Now, here comes the--here comes the Tutor up. Now, what if, as He comes up before the Father, how He feels (my), comes up, and says, "Oh, Your son is progressing. He's just like the chip off the old block (as we call it down in the south). He's just exactly like You. He's just so interested in all the sick and the afflicted. He's so interested in salvation of the people. He's so interested in all of this. He believes every Word You said. You know what? He's running the church just exactly like You'd run it if You were there. You know the way Your Son run when He was there?"
"Yes."
"That's the same way he's doing it. And You know, You had wrote in there, 'He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.'"
"Yes."
"Well, that's just exactly what they're doing."
Oh, my. Now, how the Father must say, "That's My son. That's My child."

L-68 That's the reason He could smile here. Jesus had carried out every Word of it. That's it. He'd carried out just exactly to the Word, now, because He was that perfect Son. And He is the same, and He died to become the Vine, that we might become the branch, that He can energize us with His Life to make the same Life that He had, living in us. Then we'll do the same thing.
Jesus said in Saint John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Now, we watch what He done. See, we haven't time tonight, but we'll take it up later, and see what His works was: maybe tomorrow night. Then, see if He will perform that same works. If He does, He remains the same. Now, then God would be pleased with that.

L-69 But when we go around saying, "Well, I tell you: we belong to the So-and-so..."
And I--I asked a woman at one time on a prayer line; I said, "Are you a Christian?"
She said, "I'll give you to understand," she said, "I burn a candle every night," like that had anything to do with Christianity: burning a candle every night.
I said, "Well, that's no more than slopping hogs every night." See? I said, "That wouldn't be a bit more to me." I said, "Are you borned again? Do you know Christ as your Saviour? Has He become a real reality in you? Are you living in Christ? Is Christ living in you?"
"That day you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in Me, you--and I in you." That's it. God living among His people, that's the way. Then we find out on this day...

L-70 Now, we take... If that son had been a good son, he was just exactly... Now, remember, he was a born son. Now, don't miss this. He was a born son. But year after year he progressed. He was constantly about the Father's business. He done the work just exactly the way the Father did.
How the Tutor said, "Oh, that's wonderful." Tell the Father, "Why, it's just exactly the way You'd run it if You were there. He bawled out this, and he condemned this; He give this a place. And He done this just exactly the way You do, no different, just exactly. It's just like You there. It's Your life in Him sure, 'cause... You can sure tell He's a son of God, 'cause he was born after You. See? He does the same thing, stays right with Your Word. Never misses a Word, stays right into It, punches it right on through."
Oh, the Father must say, "That's wonderful."
