<TITLE>21. Par 232-244</TITLE>L-232   Don't forget Life's magazine now, last month. To see where He predicted what would happen, and there standing there, witnesses here tonight that was in there. Even science knows nothing about it. They're wondering why it could be; but it is.

L-233 Now, look, I'm going to take a new Scripture tonight. The Bible said, that, "Jesus Christ is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." Is that right, brethren? [The ministers say, "That's right. Amen."--Ed.] That's the Scripture. Now, if He is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, now if you touched Him, He would act, if He is the same as He was, He would act as He did then. Cause you can't... That's the only way you would ever know Him, is by His action. See?

L-234   Any hypocrite can put scars in his hand, and blood or what more, but a life is what tells it. See? I could take a tree and tie leaves on it, out here, of a different tree, but what kind of fruit does it put forth? See?

L-235 Now, Christ's Life live in you, then if that first Life that come out of that branch... Now He has no hands now but yours and mine. He has no voice but mine and yours. See, the vine doesn't bear fruit. The branch bears fruit. And if the branch that bore in the first limb that come out of that grape vine, as I said, they wrote a Book of Acts behind it. If it ever puts forth another original vine, you'll write another Book of Acts behind it. It'll be the same Spirit, 'cause it's the same Life in the entire vine. Every branch that bears will be There.

L-236   Now I want you to notice something, as we sit here. How many of you believe that Christ is here? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] How many of you is sick, raise your hand. How many of you believe that you have faith enough, that you would touch His garment, He would act in the same way?

L-237 I ain't going to call no prayer line. Just call it, just let it come from here. That's quite a challenge. But you got a lot of faith, and I believe that God will honor it.

L-238   Now I'm going to look over the audience, and I want to see if there is somebody that I know in the audience. I know Brother Tracy Boutliere sitting there. This brother here, I'm not acquainted with these ministers right along here. One minister back in the back there that I know of him. Outside of that, upon the authority of my Bible, and It over my heart... I don't swear, 'cause the Bible said not to do it; but by my Bible over my heart, I lie not. I don't see one more person that I know, outside of Jim Maguire.

L-239 And if I'm not sure, that's a brother that I met at the Tabernacle the other day. I just met him. I forget what his name is. He does work at the Tabernacle at Jeffersonville. Is that right? Now, that's the only person that I know, that I can see that I know.

L-240   Now, if Jesus was here, and you wanted to be healed, and you would ask Him, "Lord, will You heal me?"

L-241 Here is what. If He was standing here with this suit on that He give me, He couldn't heal you. He has already done it. See, it was finished at Calvary. And the whole world was saved, the whole world was forgiven, everything happened at Calvary. See, "He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed," past tense. See?

L-242 Now the only thing you have to do. It'll never do you no good unless you believe it; not feel it. Jesus never did say, "Did you feel it?" He said, "Did you believe it?"

L-243 I've seen people put up their hand, say, "Feel it! Feel it! Feel it!" He never did say that.
He said, "Did you believe it?" Faith, see.

L-244   Notice, now. If He is that same High Priest, He would have to act in the same way. No matter how much He would anoint me, He has got to anoint you, too.
