<TITLE>15. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 Now, you know He didn't come the wrong way. He come exactly the way the Word predicted it, but not according to what they was thinking. They had it some other way. But He come exactly the way the Bible predicted He would come, only, they had the Bible misinterpreted.
I wonder if it could be so again. No doubt but what... There's--there's too many different interpretations to it. So you can see, there's got to be something wrong somewhere. Some of them says, "There's no such a thing as Divine healing." Others says, "The days of the miracles is past. The Holy Ghost only fell on the twelve apostles." And--and others say one thing... There's got to be something right and something wrong somewhere. That's right.

L-51 And remember, before you can have... If you've got a bogus dollar (That's a counterfeit dollar.)... Before that counterfeit dollar can be made, there has to be a real dollar it's made off of. If it didn't, it's the original one.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] There's got to be a real religion that that's made off of. Exactly right. Every one of them started on Pentecost, but they just went different ways and got away from the Word.
And that's the reason... Today, how can we expect God to ever perform, and bring the church back to a Pentecostal experience, when we deny the very fact that He does it?

L-52 As I've often said, "It's... What good would it do to feed the canary bird good vitamin C, to make big, strong wings and good feathers, and then keep him in a cage?" Wouldn't do no good, would it? Certainly not. If you're going to feed him vitamins, and make his wings strong, turn him loose, let him fly. That's what we got to do. We need some canary bird flying. That's right. Turn loose, and them things that we believe about God, use that faith. Certainly, certainly. We believe it. Don't pin Him back and say, "No, days of miracles is past." No, it isn't. It's past for them that believe it's past. But to them who know better, it's different.
Fellow said to me not long ago, said, "I don't care what you'd say, how many people you'd produce," said, "I still don't believe in Divine healing. No, sir."
I said, "Certainly not. It wasn't for unbelievers; it was only for believers." That's all. It's just for those who believe. That's all.

L-53 Now, we find Jesus now has come to express the Word. Now, that's what He was yesterday. That's what He is today. That's what He will be forever: God's Word made known. Is that a better word? Think it, huh? God's Word expressed, showed that it's true. And everything that God said He would do, He did it. Everything that was wrote in the Bible of Him doing, He done it, just exactly, because He was the Word expressed.
Well, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and all these promises hanging to this generation, why wouldn't He be the same today to express everything that God's Word promised? See? It has to be exactly the same, 'cause that's what He was then; that's what He is now; that's what He will be forever: God's Word expressed. Amen. Even in the great millennium He will still be God's Word expressed. Oh, how that ought to kindle our faith (See?), to know that it's there. And if He is the Holy Spirit to light upon that Word...
