<TITLE>10. Par 86-99</TITLE>L-86 That's the very objective of these meetings. That's the objective, my brethren, of holding my ministry out from the denominations, is to try to let the people see that Jesus Christ is still alive, and He's here, to every believer, to every denomination that will believe Him... or the people in those denominations. "The Lord is before me," David said, "and I shall not be moved."

L-87   Notice now, with two wings They had over Their face, to stand in the Presence of God, 'cause that's where They ministered.

L-88 And if They had to cover Their holy faces, to minister to God, what kind of a person ought a preacher to be? How we ought to cover our face, in shame! How we ought to live! God is altogether holy. We must consciously, all the time, remember that. Outside the grace of God, we're naked sinners, but the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from sin.

L-89   Now They had two wings over Their feet. That represents humility.

L-90 Like Moses, Moses wasn't too much in humility until he met God in that burning bush. But when he truly saw that was God, and because this Light spoke the word of the promise. Do you get it? They knew, and Moses knew, that the time was at hand for this deliverance. And here comes a supernatural Being down, and repeats, and says, "I remember My promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." And Moses took off his shoes, humility, his whole foundation. He took off his shoes.

L-91   Paul, when he saw that same Angel of Light above him, and called it "Lord," he fell in the dust of the earth. He recognized. The humility, "I'm no more!"

L-92 No wonder Isaiah could cry, "Woe is me, for I have seen the Lord God of hosts." Yet, being a prophet!

L-93 And yet, Paul, being a great man, a scholar, but when he come in the Presence of God, he humbled himself.

L-94 And when Moses come into the Presence of God, he humbled himself. He was a prophet. He respected God, the Word.

L-95 Notice John the Baptist. When John stood on the bank, after baptizing the people, he looked out and saw that same Light descending from Heaven. He cried, "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." And when he humbled himself, and Jesus walked out into the water, by him.

L-96   Now here is a question was asked me the other day. It might come up in your mind. When Jesus walked into the water, and John said, "I have need to be baptized of Thee, and why comest Thou to me?"

L-97 Now, an old Baptist brother of mine, that Doctor Roy Davis, used to tell me. He laid his hands on me when he ordained me in the Missionary Baptist church. He said, "Billy, what happened..." I asked him about that. He said, "Here is what happened. You see, John had never been baptized, hisself, so Jesus baptized John. And then John turned around and returns, baptized Jesus, because Jesus couldn't baptize John before He was baptized." Well, I thought that sounded alright.

L-98 But one day, about two years ago, out in the woods where I was sitting, the Holy Spirit came down, the Light, and then I saw what it was, when He revealed it.

L-99   Now here is what it is. See, there was the two most important people on the earth: there was John the prophet; there was Jesus the Messiah. And they, two, of the men that had the Message of the day, met face to face in water, when their eyes caught one another. And John, in humility, did say, "I have need to be baptized of Thee, and why comest Thou unto me?"
