<TITLE>13. Par 127-140</TITLE>L-127 That's how to identify you. If you say you're a Christian, and the--the identification of a Christian, the Bible Christian, is not worked in you, then there is something wrong. See, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Yes, sir. Not "maybe they will." They will!

L-128   If we could only realize that He is here with us, the same yesterday, today, and forever. "Lo, I am with you always. I'll never leave you, never forsake you. I'm with you to the end of the world," 24th chapter. "I'll never leave you," again He said. Oh! Again, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." I was just looking at the Scriptures I had wrote down here concerning it.

L-129 How can we be sure? By His proven Word. He is now waiting for you to call Him on the scene, to be proved, so let us go and awake Christ in our lives.

L-130 How do you awake Christ? By believing His Word. Faith brings Him on the scene. That's what brings Him on the scene, faith. Then, call on Him to confirm His Word. And don't doubt, in fear; don't do that. Just believe Him as It is written, and let it be done, and God will prove to you that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
We worship an invisible God.

L-131   If a man walked on this platform, tonight, with nail scars in his hands, and thorn marks across here, that wouldn't be God. We've had so much of that in the last days. See? Well, any hypocrite could do that. See, any impersonator, imposter, could do that. But the only way you would know Jesus was by His works. And that man would be trying to make himself Jesus; and Jesus will not be seen in that kind of a body until we see Him Coming. "There would be false christs rise in the last days," He said, "and would show great wonders, great signs," but still that isn't it.

L-132 "For as the lightning cometh from the East, and shineth to the West, so shall the coming of the Son of man be."

L-133 But how are we know then that He is with us, in the... in what form? Not by intellectual conceptions; don't prove in their life. Not by saying, "I believe." That doesn't do it. It's got to be something happen in you, that, the Holy Spirit Himself, that is God's vindication.

L-134 And if you say you've got the Holy Spirit, and then don't believe every Word in here, there is something wrong with the spirit you got. The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible, and He can't say, "I lied there. I didn't mean That." Not Him; He is perfect.

L-135   Notice, how is He identified, what could He? If the Bible said, Colossians 1:15, that we--we are... we worship an "invisible God." God is invisible. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Then this person coming around here with nail prints, and smoke, and blood, and everything else, that wouldn't make him God. We worship an invisible God. He has always been invisible until He identified Himself in Jesus Christ. Is that right? ["Amen."]

L-136 Now the invisible God identifies Himself in you. See? You are His temple. Ye are the... "Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit." Scripture says so.

L-137 The Pillar of Fire that Moses saw was not the invisible God. That Pillar of Fire was the Shekinah Glory that represented that the invisible God was at hand.

L-138 When John baptized Jesus, the Son of God; God, the invisible God, come down in the form of a Light, shaped like a dove sailing down through the air, the invisible God identified in the Shekinah Glory.

L-139   The same invisible God identified Himself in the Pillar of Fire, a Shekinah Glory, when they dedicated the temple at Solomon's time. It come in and went... The Pillar of Fire went in behind the curtains, upon the Holiest of holies. The Shekinah Glory was identified.

L-140 Now, when Paul was on his road down to Damascus, the invisible Jesus Christ identified Himself to Paul, in the form of the Shekinah Glory, a Light that put out that sinner's eyes. Amen.
