<TITLE>21. Par 156-163</TITLE>L-156   We pray that You'll come in like You did on the road to Emmaus. You talked with those man all through the day. They were talking about You. You were talking right to them, and they didn't know You. Many people here, Lord, goes to church, and they're sincere, and they really are not taught any different. But then when You got them into the room that night and closed the door, You did something just like You did before Your crucifixion, then they knew You had raised from the dead. They hurried back with light feet and light hearts, and told the disciples, with light hearts they said, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He talked to us along the way?"

L-157 Grant that to happen once more, Lord. Come into this audience and do the things You did before Your crucifixion, that this audience might know that Thy unprofitable servant has not lied to them, but told them the Truth. We ask in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-158   Now, we could no wise have a prayer line called up, if there is cards. I don't--don't think there's any. We got cards give out from a few nights ago, I don't think they give out any tonight. But they got cards here. But if they had, you couldn't have a prayer line, see, way we're messed up. Now, but we'll--we'll get it finished. But how many people in here that are sick? Let's see your hand. Raise up your hand if you have a need of God. Or a need of somebody else having a need, raise up your hand. Just pray.

L-159   Now be reverent. Now, let's just not fail to get this Message now. Listen. If Jesus was standing here with this suit on, and you'd run up on the platform, and say, "Lord Jesus, heal me," you know what He'd say to you? "I've already done it." He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed. The price is done paid. You'd have to believe it.

L-160 You say, "But if I could believe that He was close to me, if I knowed He was here! If I... that, that's been two thousand years ago."

L-161 Well, the Bible said He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And we'd like to see Him. If we would see Him, He'd act like He did.

L-162   Now I'm going to give, for you minister brethren, some Scripture. The New Testament said, that "He's the High Priest now that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." Is that right? How did He act, was when He was on earth He was the High Priest. Why, He was more than that, He was God. How could--how could the people get something from Him? A little woman touched His garment, set down, and Jesus turned and said, "Who touched Me?" And all of them denied it. But His... the Spirit of God that was in Christ, making Him Emmanuel, turned around until He found in the audience a little woman, and told her what her condition was, said, "Your faith saved you." Is that right? Well, now, if He is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmites, if it's the same High Priest, He'd act the same way.

L-163   Now, you're strangers to me, most of you. I know Brother Dalton and them sitting here on this front seat right here, this group right here, 'cause they're from back in Kentucky. I've knowed them for years. And I'm not mistaken, I believe way back in the back I seen Brother Gene Goad and Brother Leo Mercier, I'm not sure. Glad to see you brethren. I see Brother and Sister Dauch sitting here. I don't want you people, if you got anything wrong with you, just wait, not now. I want somebody that don't know me, and knows I don't know you. I want you to pray.
