<TITLE>19. Par 221-234</TITLE>L-221 The first little move at the pool of Bethesda, they rushed to get to It. Amen.

L-222 Oh, if the people here, if you haven't received the Holy Ghost this morning, if that first little tinkle would say, "That's the Truth. That man is telling the Word that's the Truth," then hurry as quick as you can. Don't wait. What you looking at? What you waiting for? The hour is later than you think. Get moving towards It, as fast as you can. Why? When Elijah saw that move, it was the evidence of an answered prayer.

L-223   O God, I wish that every sick person here this morning, that feels this Holy Spirit in our presence now, could realize that. That's the evidence of a prayer that you prayed, has been answered in the Presence of God. Every man who wants the baptism of the Holy Ghost, if you'd feel that little grand feeling, saying that, "I believe that's the Truth"; if you'd take that, "That's the evidence of my answered prayer"; raise up your hands and say, "God, I receive It now," something would take place. Depends on...

L-224 God throws the signs all around us, and we still move right on, just out of the way of it. Yeah. Oh, my!
Elijah knowed it was an answer of prayer.

L-225   Jonah refused to see anything was contrary. He was down in the belly of the whale, in the bottom of the sea. But he said, "That won't hide me." He said, "Once more will I look towards Your holy temple." What was he looking at? He actually couldn't see the temple, but he seen the promise made by the temple.

L-226 O God, if we could just only see the promise of the Word, that Christ promised, "Wherever two or three are assembled in My Name, I am there in their midst. And whatever they ask, they shall receive." If we could only see it, and the first move, move right into It. Don't wait any longer. What you looking for?

L-227 God answers your prayer, and places It all around you, then you say, "Well, now, let me see, what would so-and-so say?" Oh, don't do that.

L-228 Look at Christ. Look to what He said, "I'm there where two or three are gathered in My Name. I'm there among them. Let them ask. They shall receive." What a promise, what a Divine promise!
He refused to see anything that would make him doubt.

L-229   If the Devil says, for you, say, "Now, wait a minute, maybe tonight you might be a little bit better, when the revival starts." Might be fair, that might be good, but don't wait till the revival starts. Be...

L-230 Become part of the revival right now. God wants to start it in you. God wants to start it in the church. The Holy Spirit will take the messenger, then, and send forth the Message. God will vindicate that Message, great signs and wonders. See? Refuse to see anything that would make you doubt.

L-231 Jonah did, and God delivered him out of the belly of the whale. Certainly. Yes, sir.

L-232   Job, when even all of his friends had turned him down, everything was wrong, Job kept looking towards the sky. Some of them said, "You're a secret sinner. You--you, you're looking. Job, what are you looking up that way for? Because you've done sinned, God has done proved what He's done to you. You're a secret sinner, Job."

L-233 Job knowed he wasn't sinner. He had met exactly every Word God required, that burnt sacrifice. That burnt offering was all God asked for. God only asked for the burnt offering, and Job knowed he had made the burnt-offering sacrifice.

L-234 God only asks you to believe His Word. Amen. Amen. He don't ask all these isms and creeds, and everything else. He asks for you to believe Him. "He that believeth on Me!" Amen, and amen. "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do!" "Look to Him, all the ends of the world, and live." "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." Amen, and amen. Yes, sir. Don't wait for anything else. Look.
