<TITLE>19. Par 63-66</TITLE>L-63 Notice. Now, think of it. She ran out, and she said, "Lord, if Thou had've been here, my brother would not've died. But I'm thoroughly convinced... I'm thoroughly convinced even now, if You ask God, God will give You what you ask for."
Oh, brother, if we could accept that Holy Spirit that's right among us right now that way, thoroughly convinced, thoroughly convinced. Why? She'd seen Him identify Himself (the woman of Nain's son). She knowed it was so. She believed it, yet He was a man. Yet, she believed it.
It was not so much Him; it was God. He was a God-man. She knew that He qualified in the Scriptures. He was Messiah. God had proved it and vindicated it by His Word. And as--as He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, don't believe Me. It's not Me. It's My Father dwells in Me. He does the work. I do nothing until I see Him do it first." See?
She was convinced, and she said, "Lord, although he's dead, though he's buried, though he's stinking; but even now if You ask God, God will give it to You."
Raised Hisself up, and give her a truth that had never been spoke of Him before. "I am the Resurrection and Life." See, she'd hit a point then. He could move on up with her. And when the church hits a point, you'll move on up.

L-64 As I said about the women... And the men told me, said, "Leave off them women about their hair and things like that, and these men about their denominations, and so forth." And said, "Why don't you--why don't you teach them how to receive gifts? People believe you're a prophet."
I said, "I don't claim to be that."
Said, "But people think you're that way." Said, "They believe it." Said, "I do, myself." Said, "Why don't you teach them how to get things to help God?"
I said, "Wait till they learn their abc's; then we'll teach them algebra." Right. And when you'll accept it...
Martha... "I believe that You are the Son of God that was to come in the world."
"I am the Resurrection and Life." Oh, she could... She got a revelation then. "He that believeth in Me though he were dead, yet shall he live. Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
She said, "Yea, Lord." Oh, my.
"Where have you buried him?" She was convinced that He was able to do it.

L-65 Jairus was convinced if Jesus laid His hands upon his sick daughter that she would get well, regardless of what his church said about it. "My little girl is now at the point of death. Only come, lay Your hands upon her. I'm convinced." He was kind of a secret believer. "Lay Your hands upon her, and she'll live."
And then the message come, "She's dead." His heart started to jump.
Jesus was on His road, said, "Did not I tell you, if you'd only believe, you'd see the glory of God?" He was convinced. "Let's keep walking," thoroughly convinced.

L-66 The Roman soldier, by being a Roman recognized that that was God. "I'm convinced that You have power over every devil. I'm convinced that You are the Son of God. I'm not worthy for You to come under my roof. But if I could only hear You speak the Word I'm convinced my servant would live." Amen.
God have mercy. If a heathen could expect that, and be thoroughly convinced on what he'd seen the Messiahship of Jesus prove, and him a Roman heathen, what about a church, a Pentecostal church that's had fifty yours of working and yet not convinced? Fifty years in Louisiana, a pouring out after pouring out, and yet...
That Roman soldier, a heathen, said, "Just speak the Word. That's all I want to know, is what the Word says." I give you the prescription. That's what the Word said. Are you convinced? The Roman was concerned about his son, and he was convinced if he could get Jesus to say the Word, and it could be the Word of God, that done it. That's right. He was convinced.
