<TITLE>20. Par 209-221</TITLE>L-209   But, remember, God knows every one of you. He knows what's in your heart. And if He is the Word... You believe He is the Word? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The Bible said, "The Word of God is powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, a Discerner of the thoughts of the heart." Is that right? ["Amen."] That's the reason Jesus could stand and perceive their thoughts, and tell them what they had done. See? That's right.

L-210 The woman touched His garment. And He turned around, said, "Who touched Me?" He didn't know at that time. And everybody denied it.

L-211 But He looked around, until He found where that virtue had gone to. He seen it upon a little woman. And He told her of her blood issue, and said, that, "Thy faith has saved thee." "Thy faith." She had drawed through God, drawed from God, through Him. That's the reason virtue had gone, strength. Her faith had touched God, through Him. See?

L-212 Now, "The works that I do shall you also." See what I mean?

L-213   Somebody said, "Oh, we do greater works." Well, just do the works, first, you see. And just do the works. See?

L-214 You say, "We preach the Gospel all over the world. That's great." You're trying to hide behind something, fellow. See?

L-215 "The works that I do, also. The works that I do shall you do also; and more than this, for I go to the Father." See?

L-216 Look at the woman at the well, and so forth. That's how they knowed He was Messiah. If He came tonight, to the city, how'd you know it was Him. See? Nail scars, any hypocrite can do that, put a nail scar in his hand, see, anything. No, sir. The only way they ever know it, is the identification of the Spirit, see, will do the works that He said It would do. Now, I believe that.

L-217   Why am I with this bunch of Pentecostal people? I don't belong to any of their organizations, because I just stand in the breach and say, "We're brothers," all of it. See? Because I believe they got the closest thing to what I think the Bible is, of anybody I know. See? That's--that's the reason I do it. I never join, 'cause I see them on both sides, brothers with the Holy Ghost. I believe that. I know it's true. See? And so I don't like to build on this one, or build on that one, or take from this and that. I just stand and say, "We're brothers." Just forget about that. Let's be brothers, you see. Let's just be brothers. And as long as Satan has got us fighting one another, why, he don't have to fight at all. But as long as we forget that fight, and join arms and hearts, and say, "We're brothers," we're onward, Christian soldiers, then, that great revival. No ecumenical council will ever touch that. No, sir. That's the choice of God, the Elected that's been called, now. If the day...

L-218   Just remember, the last sign that was did, before Sodom was burned, was God manifested in a human body. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] I ask it. Three Angels came up to Abraham.

L-219 And two of the Angels went on down into Sodom, to give a warning. That was to the lukewarm, the denominational church, a modern Billy Graham, and so forth.

L-220 But Abraham represented, as it was in that day, the elected Church that wasn't down in Sodom. It's out of Sodom, the real born-again pentecostals and all who is born of the Spirit. Now watch the One that stayed behind and talked to Abraham. Said...

L-221 Now remember, his name was Abram, a couple days before that, and Sarah was S-a-r-r-a. And had been changed to Abraham, and to S-a-r-a-h, Sarah. See? A-b-r-a-h-a-m, Abraham, "father of nations." See?
