<TITLE>05. Par 37-45</TITLE>L-37   That's where people make mistakes. I find that among the people, that somebody gets all influenced and kind of hepped up a little, by the Holy Spirit. Which, it's wonderful, stimulated. But there someone will come to you and say, "Does the Lord say so-and-so?" See, you--you don't have to give them an answer. Don't you say it unless God says it, then you've got THUS SAITH THE LORD. Then nothing can keep it from happening. It's just got to happen.

L-38 I take anybody to--to charge, tonight, you never heard the Holy Spirit speak in the meetings, of THUS SAITH THE LORD, but what it happened exactly that way, exactly, out of the millions of cases. See, It's absolutely has to be right.

L-39   If the Holy Spirit would come tonight and say to me, by a vision, "I want you to go to the Presidential graveyard, tomorrow, I'm going to bring up George Washington," I would invite the world to come see it done. It could have to happen, see, for the Holy Ghost said so. That makes it the truth.

L-40 But until He says that, you just wait, you see. See? You know you're saved and you know you're filled with His goodness. And you know how, if He is in you, He'll act His life out in you. So just be satisfied. He wants to use you, He'll sure do it, see. He knows where you're at.

L-41 And I think, in doing that with love and fellowship with one another, we forget all these conglomerations, denominations and barriers, and the great army of God goes marching on towards victory.

L-42   I'm going to read a little portion of Scripture, tonight, and many of you might want to read along with me. If you wish to, why, you certainly can. And now we want to turn to the Book of Saint Matthew, the 12th chapter, if you would like to read with me as I read. In the 38th verse, of Saint Matthew the 12th chapter.

L-43 And I want to announce now what the subject I want to speak on is: The Sign Of This Time. This is a little familiar text, and I just speak this because I've been praying. And I--I don't like to get off on hard preaching and then come back to that line again. Because, anyone knows, that gifts of the Holy Spirit, they work in a certain channel. "There are gifts of healing, by the same Spirit; gifts of tongues, by the same Spirit," just another channel, and you pull yourself from one to the other. So let us read now. If you...
There was then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall be no sign--there shall be no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

L-44   We find here that our Lord, in the Scripture that we have just read, that was right in the trend of what Jews believe. The Jews believed in signs. And they were come to Jesus, these theologians, and was discussing with Him, that they would like to see a sign from Him. Now you see how blind they were? He had already showed His sign, that what He was, that He was the Messiah.

L-45 We was on that last evening. How many was here last evening? Let's see. That's fine. All right.
