<TITLE>17. Par 198-208</TITLE>L-198   Now, we could talk on, with several more pages of notes. But let me ask you something now, 'cause it's almost, about ten minutes to nine. Course, that's two hours earlier than last night, you know, too. But, look, let me say this, to stop right now, and I can finish this some other time.

L-199 Can God fail? [Congregation says, "No."--Ed.] Neither can His Word, because He is His Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." "Yet a little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet you'll see Me. For I..." And "I" is a personal pronoun. "I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the consummation, the end of time. At the end time, I'll be there." The Light will be shining at the end time.

L-200 "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8 is written. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Hebrews 13:8, it's written. So, if it's written, now let it be done. Amen. Don't be afraid to put His Word to a test. It's there. He is here. The only thing you need to do is wake Him. You...

L-201   We breathe so much of the unfilterated spirit, so much to cause us to try to remind of something else, and turn to, "I'm tired. I--I'm too weary. I've seen this do." What do you point to some wreck for? "I'll take you to..." Said, "I know somebody, trusted God, and died."

L-202 I know millions, the same time, died under doctors' care. See? Sure. Sure. If the doctor has done all he can do, you haven't got nothing else but trust God, and if you'll believe it.

L-203 Now, you just can't say, "Well, I--I'm going to trust Him." That isn't it. That's, really do it. That isn't it.

L-204 You got to disturb Him, till you can see Him come in. Can't our prayers disturb Him? Can't our prayers waken Him from His rest, bring Him on the scene? They did. They cried out, "Lord, we are perishing," and He moved in on the scene. Now we can do the same thing. Now, you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
Then let us pray.

L-205   O Lord, this simple little thought, "Awaken Jesus." Lord, we have--we have not used His Spirit and His faith, so long, till it merely goes to sleep, as it was, in our souls. Let us shake ourselves tonight. Let us arouse ourselves and get our own sleepiness away from us, that we can see that He is still in the boat.

L-206 O Lord, today I tried to shake my soul. I knowed I had to stand before a little group of people up here tonight. And I shake myself. Lord Jesus, waken, come forth. I've put Your Word out before the people. It's brought to a test. Prove to this audience tonight, Lord, that You still live, that You're still here with us. Your Words are true, "I'm with you always, even to the end of the world." You're the same yesterday, today, and forever. You're still in the ship, Lord, the old ship of Zion that's carrying us across the troubled seas. And when the Devil sweeps a storm down upon us, what difference does it make, as long as He is in the ship? Be with us now, Father. And may You walk right into the hearts of the people tonight.

L-207   May You walk into my heart, soul, body, mind, eyes, lips. And let this dedication, of myself, be a confirmation of Your Word, that You promised in Saint John 14:12. "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall you do also."

L-208 Then may it be, go to the audience, that they might believe it this way, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet ye shall see Me." And when we're setting in this Heavenly place tonight, in Christ Jesus, manifest Yourself, Lord. It's Your promise. Your words won't fail. And then, course, then let it be upon the basis of the faith of the people, that they can receive You then. That's all we can do.
