<TITLE>09. Par 84-93</TITLE>L-84   Saint John 14:12, Jesus said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." See? "Yet a little while and the world, cosmos order, will not see Me anymore, yet ye shall see Me. That's the unbeliever, world, world order, order of church, won't see Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me, the believer, for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world."

L-85 And this wicked and adulterous generation that we've got on earth, of making fun of the original Word of God, making fun of the of the church, he receives tonight a sign of the resurrection. Because, the things that Jesus Christ is doing today, in the church, there is not a person in the world can do it outside of Jesus Christ. And it's a sign that He is alive tonight. He raised from the dead, two thousand years ago, and is just as alive tonight as He was when He walked in Galilee. Amen. Sign of the resurrection!

L-86   Then we notice, on down, He refers to Solomon's time. He said, "The men of Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonas, and there is a greater than Jonas here." He said, "And as in the days of Solomon, how the queen of the South come from the uttermost parts of the world, to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and a greater than Solomon is here."

L-87 See, they couldn't understand it. They were dense. Isaiah said, "They got eyes and can't see, ears and can't hear."

L-88 I'm going to say this with love. Pentecost, it's almost getting the same way. The thing that God promised, passes right over us, and we just let it go. What's the matter with the Pentecostal people, is this, they've seen so much of God...

L-89   It reminds me of an old proverb, or a story I read once of an author who had wrote about the sea, and he said he never had seen it. Like we understand that Stephen Foster, the beloved folk writer, wrote about the "Swanee" River, and never seen the Suwannee River. And this writer had wrote about the sea, and had never seen the sea. One time he took a trip to the sea. And on his road he met an old sailor, old salt, coming up, with the gray whiskers on his face, and his corncob pipe in his mouth. He said, "Where goest thou, my good man?"

L-90 He said, "I go to the sea." He said, "I'm a--I'm a poet." He said, "I--I just want to see it. I want to see its white waves as the briny waves bounce upon the blue. I want to see a reflection of the sky in the blue water, smell the salt in the air. I want to hear the gulls as they holler and scream, as they go back and forth across the water."

L-91 The old salt took his corncob pipe from his mouth, and spit. He said, "I was born on it, sixty years ago. I don't see nothing so charming about it." Why? He had seen so much of it, it become common to him.

L-92 And that's what's the matter with you Pentecostals. You see so much of the praises and blessings of God, till it slips right through you. We must be reverent with these things, and respect everything that God gives to us.

L-93   Now, the days of Solomon, as any theologian, Scriptural man knows that that was the golden age of the Hebrew. They had no wars. They, it was almost like a Millennium to them. Great day! They built the temple. All nations feared them. They was afraid to do anything, because they know that the people was with one heart and one accord. God gave them a gift, and they believed it. They accepted it, and with one heart and one accord they work with it.
