<TITLE>08. Par 90-105</TITLE>L-90 America wants a... They want an intellectual genius. They got a crooked voting machine, to give them one. God always lets you have the desires of your heart. Now, you've got it. What are you going to do with it?

L-91   When all of them was crying for a Messiah, God sent them One. But, one wanted a general, one wanted an educated machine, and all so forth, but God sent them a Baby. He sent them a Saviour. He knowed they needed a Saviour.

L-92 What if Russia got their messiah today? What would we do? See? God knows how to give it.

L-93 What if people today... that's praying for a Messiah. And we're praying for a great something to happen. We are. We Pentecostals are praying for a great something to happen. I wonder what would take place if it really happened? And maybe He answers your prayer and you don't know it. And you wouldn't receive It if He answered it. It wouldn't come in the color that you prayed for. That's what they've always done. And if It come again, It would come in the same color. It would come in the same package. Just skip right over the top of It!

L-94   Therefore, God deals with an individual. He didn't deal with all Israel that day. He don't. He was dealing with this Jewish Boy. See? It doesn't come in the way that we want it to come.

L-95 Now, this Jew had seen something that--that was different. That's what attracted his heart. There was something that he had--he had seen, that was in Jesus, that other men didn't have. He knowed his priest and his rabbis didn't have the thing that this--that this young Fellow had, called Jesus, Who the people believed to be a prophet. He was a different Man.

L-96 They had seen his rabbi stand up, and the Pharisees argue their idea, that, 'There was Angel and spirit." And the Sadducees come around and prove, "There is no Angel and spirit." And they had their differences. And this young fellow, caught in between that.

L-97   Where, the church is caught today, "Does it take denominational groups? Does it take a group of men? Does it take a group of women?"
It takes one person surrendered to God, to His Word.

L-98 Jesus Christ was God, made flesh in order to die. That, the Word, He and the Word was the same. The Word could just flow through Him. There's no doubt at all.

L-99 God is trying to get somebody, through the sanctifying power of Christ, to yield to that Word, that He and the Word can become one again, then He can use His Word through that person.

L-100   But, you see, this--this young fellow saw something in this Man, that was different from other men. He knowed there was different.

L-101 Because, one time He was asked. "This man don't speak like ordinary men. There is something about this Fellow that's different. Never a man spake like this." Because, when He spoke, God was there to answer, what He said.

L-102 As I've said many times, this week, man is still man. They're praising God for what He did, looking forward to what He is doing, going to do. That's us. But you're ignoring what He's doing. Always, man does that.

L-103 Jesus said, "You claim to be the--the children of the prophets. And you're the one put them in the grave. And you garnish their tombs." See?

L-104 We're--we're thinking what God did do on the Day of Pentecost and through the early age. And then we're saying, "God is going to come with a great something," And the first thing you know, pass right (us) by it, and we'll never know it. History always proves itself right, and it repeats itself. We pass, let it go right by, and don't notice it.

L-105 Now, this young man had seen something different. He seen that there was a difference in this Jesus. He wasn't like ordinary men. He had seen what that Man could do, that God was with Him. He saw that His life, though it was contrary to his own church teaching, but he saw, that Man, that God was with Him.
