<TITLE>19. Par 222-233</TITLE>L-222   Sister Jones and Brother Jones, years ago when I come to your church, I believe it was Moark. Wasn't it? And you remember when I come there, the only way I knowed of finding the people's trouble was by... You'd lead them up on the platform and they'd lay their hand on mine, and then I'd wait there just a minute. And then, not try to use my own voice, and It would speak, say, "Tumor, cataract." And I told you that there would come a time that, He told me up there, if I'd be sincere, then I'd know the very secret of their heart. See? That's right. How many remembers that when I first come to Phoenix? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right. Has it happened? ["Amen."] See?

L-223 Now, remember. Watch this tape. We're stepping right up a little higher now. See? It's going right on up, a little higher. Remember it. Just--just remember. See?

L-224   Now, we want to see Jesus. I want to see Him. Now, we know that His body will not return to the earth until He comes for the Church, because it must remain There for a sacrifice. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] It must be on the altar. He sets on the Throne of God, tonight. And it must remain there, for, by His stripes, He is the Sacrifice, and the Sacrifice is on the altar. See? And His body cannot come. But His life returned, that was in Christ, come back upon the church, in the form of the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit...

L-225 It wasn't that body that did it, anyhow. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works. It's My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." Now, we believe that. Don't we? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-226 Now, if I told you the spirit of a gangster is in me, you'd expect me to have big guns, and mean. See? The spirit of an artist, you'd expect me to take a brush and paint.

L-227 If I tell you, "the Spirit of Christ," then it'll do the works of Christ. "He that believes in Me, the works that I do..." Just like putting the life out of one vine into another, it'll bear the--the fruit of the life that's in the vine.

L-228   Now, I don't know that He will do this. I can't say it. But if I, by a gift... Now, no need trying to explain it. I can't.

L-229 But many of you know that I been around the world, been over, several times. Before a half-a-million people, at one time, five hundred thousand people. See so many different languages, I'd have to jot down what I said, to wait till it went through fifteen more interpreters, then come back to the thing I said. And see that Spirit of God go right down there and do just the same thing it does here. See? See? All nations, languages, without an excuse.

L-230   Now, remember, it won't go to everybody. When Jesus was on the earth, not over one-third of the Jewish race ever knowed He was on the earth. You know that. He come to the Elected, and they received It. That's right. That's where the Spirit goes tonight, to the Elected.

L-231 Now, if you can believe that Jesus died for your sins, and have accepted Him as your Saviour, and He's took your life and remold it again, then, remember, "By His stripes we were healed. See? Now, you was. You're already healed. You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, the Bible said, "We were." Is that right? ["Amen."] Not "will be." We, already. We've, already.

L-232   The whole sin question was settled when Jesus died at Calvary. You believe that, brother? [The brethren say, "Amen."--Ed.] See? "He's the Lamb of God that take away the sins of the world." Now, it'll never do you no good until you accept your pardon. See, you've got to accept it. And you got to accept your healing in the same way.

L-233 If some man come by, say, "I'll heal you," now, he's wrong. That's contrary to the Scripture. He can show you here where Jesus done it for you, and it's based on your faith. God never can do nothing... God cannot work against your faith. You've got to believe it.
