<TITLE>10. Par 93-102</TITLE>L-93   Now, remember, they were all excited. All hopes was gone. Their ship was... Their sails, what they been used to sailing by, it was gone. The oars, which they had--had pulled with, they were broken. The waves had upset and tipped the boat, and so forth. All hopes was gone. And yet, right with them, laying in the ship, was One Who had proved He was the Creator of heavens and earth. Amen. He had proved what He was, by signs and wonders, that God had taken His Word that He said His Messiah would do, and had vindicated that Man to be His Messiah. And He was laying just at the back of the ship, from them, and yet they were scared to death.

L-94 Glory! I feel like a... what you think I am, a holy-roller. Well, now notice when... I know that don't sound very clergyman like, but it--it makes me feel good to say it, anyhow. See?

L-95   So notice there, their--their help was laying right there, and they had forgotten all about It. Jesus had proved to be the very God that could create bread, the day before that, the same day, create fish. Proved that He was the Creator, and they were still wondering. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-96 Jesus said, "If--if I do not those things which are written of Me, then don't believe Me; but if I do those things that are written of Me, they testify and tell you who I am." Oh, my!

L-97 If you claim to be a Christian, the Bible here tells you what a Christian ought to be. Mark 16 will tell you whether you're a believer, or not, see, it tells you what you should be.

L-98 Jesus said, "Which one of you can condemn Me of sin?" Sin is unbelief. "If I haven't proven just exactly, to you, what I'm supposed to be."

L-99   Any great messenger like that is foretold us in the Bible. Always we can find the place of it in the Scripture. That's the reason the Holy Spirit today is foretold us in the Bible, and we know that It's here. And we know it by Scripture, a vindication of what It is. We seen how It acted in the first, we seen how It acted in Christ, we see how It acts today. See, we know It's the Holy Spirit, or not, because It manifests and vindicates the Word of God, makes It live.

L-100 Now, "They are They that testify of Me. Search the Scriptures, They tell you Who I am." They should have known that, He was the same God that could create bread, He also created the winds and waves. Certainly. He is just not part God; He is all God. He created the winds and the waves. If--if other things had to obey Him, and He was the Creator, would not the winds and the waves have to obey Him also? Amen.

L-101   Notice, let us remember, He also created our bodies. And won't our bodies have to obey Him? Amen. You surrender your thoughts to Him, surrender your life to Him, surrender your faith to Him, and watch that body obey what He says. If you're a drunkard and you can't--can't quit drinking, surrender that life to Him and, watch, you'll drink no more. If you are a habitual smoker, and tried to give it up and can't do it, just surrender that to Him and watch what happens. He'll make that body come back in subjection to the Word. Yes, sir. But you've got to surrender it to Him. You've got to believe Him. He made our bodies; they obey His will also. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] If you're a Christian, you have to.

L-102   You say, "He makes our bodies obey? Oh, I believe we have jurisdiction over that." Then you're--you're not fully surrendered.
