<TITLE>13. Par 145-154</TITLE>L-145   Now, He said to them guys that didn't believe Him, thought He was a soothsayer or--or some kind of a--a--a Beelzebub, a devil, under spiritualism, that He knowed the thoughts of people's hearts, and things, trying to do that. He said, "Which one of you can accuse Me of sin?" Said again, "If you don't believe Me," said, "search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life; and they are the thing, they are They that testify of Me. They are the thing that makes My ministry what it is." See what I mean? "They are they that testify of Me." See? Referring (what?) right back to the Scriptures again. "They are they that testify of Me. They tell you Who I am." Amen. Glory to God!

L-146 The Scriptures tells you whether you're a believer or not. The Scriptures tell you whether you're lining up or not. That's how you know a man, by his testimony. Not what he says with this, but how he lines with the Scripture. True. That's how you know it.

L-147   Jesus invited them to do it. "If I didn't meet every qualification of Messiah, then you tell Me where I missed it." Oh, my! That's good. Isn't it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] "Tell Me where I missed it, if I didn't meet the qualification, if I have done exactly what the Scriptures said that I would do."

L-148 Oh, Christian, if we could line ourselves up in there, do what the Scripture says a Christian should do!

L-149 They should have known He was the God of creation. And could... He was the very one that created the water and the wind. They should have known that. And if they knowed that He was that, did they not understand that this creation of the creator would have to obey His Word, oh, my, if He created it? Who is the greatest, the creation or the Creator? Like Jesus said, "Who is the greatest, he that is sent, or He that sent him?" Uh-huh. See? Which is the greatest, the creation or the Creator? The Creator. And they seen, and He proved, that He was that Creator. And then if He was that Creator, could, would not His creation obey Him?

L-150   Let us remember also that He created our bodies. Won't our bodies obey His command? "Spit out that cancer," He says to the body, and away it goes. You just take that Word and plant It in here and see what happens. Sure. Yes, sir. Our bodies has to obey His command.

L-151 You say you're a Christian. I believe you are. You believe. What are you resting in? Someday He will raise our bodies up, after they've absolutely, completely perished. If you don't believe that, why you go to church? See? "If there's no resurrection, aren't we, amongst men, most miserable?"

L-152 But His Word of promise, "He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Amen. I am the resurrection and Life. Amen. He that eats My flesh and drinks My Blood has Eternal Life, and I'll raise him up, the last days." Why? The body, the ashes, the volcanic ashes that we're made out of, obey His command because He's the Creator of it.

L-153 The Life that's within us is not only a creative Life, but it's part of His own Life. That's the reason we have the authority to speak to a devil, 'cause it's God's own creative Life, if you're anointed. Correctly. Not you, it's not you that speaketh, but the Father that dwelleth in you. See? "Take no thought what you'll say, 'cause be added at that time." Just go on, stay with it. Oh, I love that!

L-154   After the disciples found themselves at the end of their road, it must have dawned on some of them, that He was still with them. After they come to the end of the road, it must have dawned on somebody, "Well, here, after all, we was here giving this testimony. There He lays, right there. See? He's just taking a rest between the revivals. And here we are fussing and stewing, and all worried, and tore up, and doubting, and scared, everything else. And the Creator is laying right here in the boat." Oh, my!
