<TITLE>24. Par 90-92</TITLE>L-90 "Search the Scriptures. In them you think you have Eternal Life, and They testify of Me." Listen what again He said. "If I do not the works of My Father (if My works don't sound that certain sound of the Gospel), then don't believe it." Whew. He was... There's no uncertainty about that. "If I don't do the things that God said I would do, then don't you believe Me." There's nothing uncertain about that.
"You claim to be a Scriptural group," He said, "and if I don't do the things that God said that for--that I would do, then don't believe Me. If the Scriptures don't testify themselves through Me, well, then don't believe Me." Oh, there's nothing uncertain about that. No, indeed. "If I do not the works, then don't believe Me. But if do the works, then believe Me." There's certainly is no uncertain sound again about that.
And again, He said this. Listen now. "I have power to lay My life down, and I have power to take It up again." Amen. Not nothing uncertain about that, was there? (I'm bypassing lots of Scriptures 'cause it's getting late.) "I have power to lay My Life down. I have power to take it up again."

L-91 Listen. Jesus said, the Bible, Christ, in John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me (not make-believeth), but... he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he also..." Shall, not perhaps, will, ought to. He shall do it. Nothing uncertain about that. He said they shall. What kind of works did He do? What kind of works did He show? What was He called by? A devil for doing it. "If they call the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call them of His disciples?" No uncertainty, He said, "If--if he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Nothing uncertain...
Again, He said in Saint John, "If ye abide in Me, and My Word abide in you, then ask what you may, and it'll be done for you." Not no uncertain, "It shall be given you. It shall be done: Nothing uncertain. Oh, let's crawl out of that turtle shell.

L-92 Brethren, men of God, women of God, what's the matter with us? There's something needs to move. We're turtling.
When I was a little boy... You know what a turtle is, tortoise? We have them back east. An old terrapin, we call them.
Me and my brother saw one one time. We was little bitty fellows. And it was the funniest looking thing you ever seen, he was moving like that. And when we got to him, went "shuptth" drawed up. Just reminds me of some people, preaching the Gospel to them. You go to throwing the Gospel out, and they "Shuptth, days of miracles is past. No such thing as that." Old turtle...
You know what? I said, "I'll make him walk." I went over and got me a switch and begin to whip him. That didn't do no good. I just whipped him, he just smothered up. You can beat them, whip them, do anything you want to, and it won't do a bit of good. I said, "I'll fix him." I took him down at the creek, and I baptized him. I put him under the water, till bubbles just bubbled up. And that's all there was to him. Water will never do it. You might as well quit your fussing. I just held him there till all the bubbles just bubble, bubble, bubble, and he never done a thing.
But you know what I did? I got me a piece of paper and made me a little fire, and set the old boy on it. He walked then. That's what we need tonight, is the baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire, and not so much church creed backing the thing. Back like the forefathers had it, we need another Pentecost that will line you up with the Holy Ghost, that'll send people to their knees, send people to their Bible, to search the Scriptures and look for them.
