<TITLE>03. Par 21-31</TITLE>L-21   I might ask about maybe some other denomination. Why, it would say, "Why, the standard of our church." They might not right--right out confess it, but our actions prove that's what we think. But then which church would be right? See, we wouldn't know where to go. And then it isn't by any certain group, any church, any denomination.

L-22 It's going to be by His Word. See, that's the standard. See? For He had said in the 1st, John, Saint John the 1st chapter, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, the same yesterday, today, and forever." So This is one thing that He can judge the world by, that all of us will have to answer to, this Book. And so I trust that God will open this Book this week, to us, in evangelistic Messages, and in interpretations that He will give, Himself, of His Word, just the way It's written, and interpret It to us, and then show Himself alive here with us, to--to--to do that.

L-23 Now there is many things that we can say. And men can say anything, I guess, they desire to say. But to God to say it, that makes it right. And then if God says it, and then comes back and proves that He did say it, then there is no question there, its all alright.

L-24   Now let us, if you want to kind of follow these Scriptural texts; I see, I believe they're taking a tape over here. And I believe now, before we read, there will be also...

L-25 I'm to speak on a Sunday. Is that right, Brother Vick? [Brother Vick says, "Right."--Ed.] On Sunday morning or Sunday--Sunday night? ["Nights, all through the week."] Nights, all through the week. ["Yeah."] And no day services, no day services. All right. Now, and then we'll...

L-26 How many would like to have a healing service, pray for the sick? Let's see your hands, up through. Oh, my! It's in--it's in the majority, by much, I guess ninety-nine hundredths and ninety-nine hundredths. That's about... Well, that's fine. But we're...

L-27   Now, Divine healing is not all the Message. Jesus put, I think they claimed, about eighty percent of His ministry was on Divine healing. But as the--the late Brother Bosworth... Many of you knew Brother F. F. Bosworth, a godly, saintly man. He used to say, that, "Divine healing is just like the bait on the hook. You never show the fish the hook, you show him the bait." And he... And--and so Divine healing is a minor. And you can never major on a minor, but it leads to the major. So, we--we see this.

L-28 And the Bible is true, every Word. And I feel that we can hang our soul on any Word of the Bible. It's God's Word, and I may not have faith enough to make it all act out, but I certainly believe that it can be done, if we have faith enough to believe it. Yes, if they'd believe it.

L-29   Now in the Book of Saint John 12:20. Many of you that's been in the meetings before, this will be a very familiar text, because I use it as an opening text to introduce what I want to say through the week, and what we want to be talking on, and then Hebrews 13:8. In Saint John 12:20.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to the feast to worship:
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethesda of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sirs, we would see Jesus.

L-30 And I want to take just five words out of that. Sir, We Would See Jesus. And then on Hebrews 13:8.
He is the same yesterday,... to day, and for ever.

L-31   Now if He is the same, and, our hearts tonight, I'm sure that I speak for quite a few in this meeting, that our hearts are just as hungry to see Jesus Christ as those Greeks were. We... No one can ever hear of Him, that would not want to--to see Him. It's been my heart's desire to know the reality.
