<TITLE>16. Par 136-154</TITLE>L-136 Neither can I explain how it works. I don't know the mechanics. Just the dynamics is all I'm interested in. I don't know how He does it, but He does it because He promised it.

L-137 He let down the net. Because, he knowed if there wasn't no fish in there, and God said there would be fish in there, he let down the net, anyhow.

L-138 You say, "I've been to the altar. I've did this. I've done that. I've tried. I've been up and down. I..." Let down the net. That's the Commandment.

L-139 And when he caught the fishes, what did he do? First, he fell upon his knees, in reverence and respect, and he cried out, "Depart from me, Lord, I'm a sinful man." What is it? Reverence, humility.

L-140 What was the word come back? "Fear not, Simon, from henceforth you'll be a fisherman of man." In action, and he died in action. Oh, my!

L-141   The blind man that was healed, he couldn't explain. He couldn't tell just how it was that He did it. And he didn't know whether He was a sinner or not; he said, "It's a strange thing to me, that you man here, you priests asking me what, this question."

L-142 They said, "Who healed you?" They asked his father and mother, but they said...

L-143 They had already, priests had told them, "If anybody attended Jesus' meetings! He's a--He's a--He's an insane Man. If you attend His meetings, you're excommunicated from this church. We'll put you..." That's what the Bible said. "We'll put you right out of church, if you attend that meeting."

L-144 But, the blind man, see, the meeting come to him, and Jesus healed him.

L-145   And then even his parents, afraid of losing their dignity, of being the member of this great church of the city, they was ashamed to say anything about it. They turned it back onto the boy, and they said, "Ask him, he's of age. Go ask him how it happened. We know that's our son, and we know he was born blind, but I--I ain't going to say nothing." Oh, that lukewarm, borderline, make-believer!

L-146 But this man who had his eyes healed; they said, "Who healed you?"

L-147 He said, "One called Jesus of Nazareth." Yes, sir! He had sat in humility. The work was done.

L-148 They said, "That Man is a sinner. We don't know, we have no school He ever come out of. He don't belong to any organizations. He has no fellowship card. We have nothing to do with Him. We know He's a sinner."

L-149 "Well," he said, "now, that's a strange thing." Said, "A Man that could open my eyes, which has never been done since the world began; a Man, a Minister opens my eyes, which it's never been done in the world; and you clergymen who are supposed to know all the in's and out's of the Word, and you don't know nothing about Him? That's a strange thing."

L-150   When, the very Bible said that, when He come, "The blind should see. The lame men would leap like a hart." They ought to have seen the Word was manifested. See?

L-151 But the boy knew; he had been there. What did he do? He was in action. He was ready, before his boss. He was ready, before the priests. He was ready, before the council. He was ready for anything, because he had recognized God, and humbled himself, and went into action with his testimony. See, that's a real servant.

L-152 The Pillar of Fire ought to put us in action today, as we've seen it vindicated in the Words of His promise for this hour, this last day. It should put the whole move of God into action.

L-153 But, the trouble of it is, our organization says, "Now wait a minute, That didn't come through our group. That's Jesus Name. That's a--that's a renegade. That's a Baptist. That..." See? Huh-uh. See? See? They just don't see It. That's right.

L-154   Sign, oh, the sign of His Coming is at hand. And we know there is not a thing on earth...
