<TITLE>21. Par 76-79</TITLE>L-76 Now, we know that these things has all worked for good as Your promise, 'cause You give it a type in Israel, as we had last night. Now, let the God of--of Jesus Christ, let He Who was Immanuel, let He that stood on the earth here and said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also," let it be done, Lord.
We commit the service, the Word... Forgive their broken up way of being done, Lord. But I pray that You'll sink it into every heart, and it'll bring forth a holy church filled with the Spirit, back to the day of Pentecost again. In Jesus' Name, I give it to You. Amen.

L-77 Do you believe? I want your undivided attention for just a few moments. I want you to believe with all your heart.
The Bible said; the Lord God has promised us, that as many as believe was saved. Now, that sounds awful little. But, you see, when you really believe, that's all you can do. Then a... God has to... When you really believe it, then God pours out the Holy Ghost upon you. And then God vindicates His Word.
Now, the Bible said... Wait a minute. I believe... 'Fore I do this, I believe there was going to be a prayer line. Is that right? Yes. All right. How many wants to go back to Pentecost? Raise up your hands. How many believes that the prescription's still good? Amen. It sure is: the baptism of the Holy Ghost, not an education, not go up and get your Ph.D. and then...

L-78 When Nicodemus come to the Lord Jesus, Jesus... He said, "What must I do to have Eternal Life?" A man eighty years old, been a priest all of his life... "What must I do to have Eternal Life."
Jesus didn't say, "Go polish up on your scholarship." No. He didn't say, "Go seek a higher office in your organization." No. He flatly told him. He--He--He absolutely rebuked him for being a man of his caliber, and then not knowing those things, that you got to be born again. Yes, sir.
That's the same thing tonight. See, we take it too lightly. We just take some kind of a sensation, say, "I was borned again," and go ahead. And your life proves out it doesn't do that. There's something wrong. Yes, sir.
Oh, you say, "But I know that man's a good man." No matter how good he is, that don't have nothing to do with it.
You don't meet any finer people than Mohammedans, and things like that, sweet and everything. Certainly not. Oh, no. Sometimes heathens, idol worshippers, sweet and humble as they can be. That doesn't mean nothing. No, sir.

L-79 "These signs shall follow them that believe." That's what the Doctor said. This is the results of the inoculation. There you are. Yes, sir. That's the thing. The Doctor said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Did He say it? That's the sign of a believer.
We take the sign of a good man goes to church and pays his tithes. That's good. That's fine. But that ain't what Jesus said. "These signs shall follow them... The works that I do, shall he do." 'Cause if the life that's in a peach tree can be taken out of the peach tree, and be injected into a apple tree, it will no more bear apples, but peaches; because the germ of life of peach life is in the apple tree, and it's got to bear peaches. That's exactly right.
