<TITLE>08. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 I'm not lying. I'm--I'm subject to lying, 'cause I'm a human. But I'm not lying, because God is turning right back around and vindicating that to be the truth. When I told you there was a light, just as a boy down on the river when the newspaper shot the--the picture of it, and see, now it's... That's proven. That's beyond the shadow of doubt. All churches, all people, Christians, know that. See, see? Well, it's a shadow. And then when death comes on, it's a shadow. And there that woman was shadowed to death.
Well, this little woman was also, and the Holy Spirit told her where she come from. Then I watched back, and that darkness had faded away, and there was a Light hanging over her. That's it. And I'll just lay my life right there that that's it. He's never been wrong. So then, the word come forth, "THUS SAITH THE LORD." Now, many times you all getting those visions (See?), you are getting it the same way that... It isn't a vision, and yet, it is a vision.

L-24 See, when the woman touched the border of His garment, that was the woman using God's gift. See, she pulled from Him, 'cause He said, "I got weak." And He actually didn't tell "I healed you," He said, "Your faith saved you." The word "sozo," just like physical salvation, and spiritual salvation... See? "Your faith saved you." Now, see, the woman, her own faith did that, believing that He was the Son of God.
Now, when God wanted to use His gift on Lazarus, He just give Him a vision. He went away, and when He come back He raised a man out of the grave that'd been there four days, already, in our words of knowing it, rottening. His nose had already fell in, in that much time. See? All right. Now, and He never said a word about getting weak. That was God using His gift.
The other was a woman using God's gift. So it--it... Jesus didn't even know she was there. He was just passing through, and He turned around. Now, He wasn't a hypocrite, you know. He said, "Who touched Me?" He didn't know. Then He found where that pull of faith was, told her "Your faith has saved you: your blood issue." See? "Your faith saved you."

L-25 Well, that's the same thing takes place this way. Many times if that takes place... now watch that. But on the platform, or somewhere where I got a person personally where I can speak to them, and see what is wrong with them... Then if we could wait just a few minutes, and see what the Lord says back about it...
Now, you be sure that that's God says that now, and not an impression. As I said the other night, there's too many gimmicks in Pentecost. That's the reason the--the--the sincerity and the confidence has been lost, is because carnal impersonations... If we was sure that was God, we'd set still. So when we say, "THUS SAITH THE LORD," you be sure that it's God, not your own thought, or an impression, or a pulsation. Know that it's God. And then in this case it spoke back to her and told her: perfectly normal, been that way ever since.

L-26 A few days ago in Arkansas there was a little minister come along. And I'm not disputing that boy's word. I have no right. I'm not God. He--he said the Lord give him a gift of discernment. Well now, of course, that's one of the gifts of the Scripture, sure. That's all right. But you see, what he said was contrary.
She was telling him, testifying about what the--the Lord had done for her.
He said, "Oh, but wait a minute. It's back on you again." It like to scared the little woman to death, and here she was last night standing up there crying. She's already been baptized once, and here she was downstairs trying... Put on a robe, and run downstairs to be baptized in order to get where I was at. She's already been baptized, but she was going to be baptized over, just in order to get to stand there. Brother Jackson was on the porch with her last night out here at my motel. For she... That boy telling her that, and that woman had no more cancer than Jim McGuire's got, setting here. See?
