<TITLE>10. Par 92-102</TITLE>L-92 And I--I don't think that I would stand here over this desk, as a minister of the Gospel, and would--and would say something that was wrong, seeing I'm fifty-four years old and my days are finishing. I've got to meet Him. I've got to be... I want to be dead sincerely. These things are correct, and they must be. See? Because, not only that, but I'd be misleading people.

L-93 But I'll say, tonight, that I seen Him. He's had more success in--in my little efforts that I put forth. Now remember. He has had more success than the efforts that I have put forth for Him, by His Gospel, than He did in His own country where He come from. I--I would write Bibles, to know what He has done in these last days, because He promised that.

L-94   "These things that I do, shall you do, and more than this shall you do." It says "greater," which, the right word there. No one could do greater. He done everything that could be done, see, raise the dead, stop nature, and everything else. "But more than this shall you do." For the Spirit then dwelt in one Person, the Son of God, now sons of God are all over the world. "More than this shall you do, because I go to the Father," see, send back the Holy Ghost upon the Church.

L-95   And so they must been then like we are now, resting between the revivals, waiting for the Coming of the Lord. And as we sail along, testifying, talking about, "Oh, I remember when we had this meeting there. I remember when this was over here. This dead baby laying there, and been dead for two days, and they brought in the meeting, and the Holy Spirit raised it right up to life again. See this person come in this way, and that way, blind, twisted, lame, afflicted, tell them what they had done, and what had happened, how the Holy Spirit met the people on the platform, told them what they'd done. Deceivers come up and thought it was telepathy, and called right out. And some of them paralyzed, right in front of our eyes, before thousands of people. All these great things proving it." And now we're kind of resting between the time, see, resting.

L-96   Maybe Jesus was doing then like He did in the day of creation. He created the earth, and the heavens and earth, in six days. And the seventh day, He rested.
You say, "Was that Jesus?" Yes.
The Bible said, "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not."

L-97 So He was maybe resting, from one revival to another, just as He was resting between Genesis and His Coming, see, taking a little rest. Then, while He was trying to rest, and the disciples were... had forgot about Him being with them, so then trouble arose.

L-98 That's the minute she starts. When the church forgets about the Presence of Jesus Christ, when we forget and begin to fuss and stew, and argue about our denominational differences, and so forth, that's exactly when trouble starts.

L-99   But as long as Christ is there, and the Holy Ghost is blessing all the people, we don't care: color, creed, or whatever it is. We're all in one great big pool of God's blessings, just fellowshipping under the Blood of Jesus Christ, and we don't notice it.

L-100 But when we begin to try to think, "You know, my denomination is a little better than theirs, little bigger than theirs. We have more members," that's when trouble sets in.

L-101 So they begin to get that, and troubles arose when they forgot about Him being there. So much talking about Him, and not recognizing Him being with them. I wish I had some way to nail that down. Look, they were talking about Him, but had forgot that He was laying in the very ship they were in.

L-102 And today, that's what's happened to the churches. We talk about Him. We have so much intellectual, till men are so trained to the Scripture, till they can bring a message that will... You can't lay a finger on it. But where is God? That's what I want to know. Where is that manifestation? See? Intellectual sermons!
