<TITLE>13. Par 130-144</TITLE>L-130   And the Palestinian garment hangs loose. He would never feel that. I wouldn't feel if you'd touch my pocket, and my coat fits me tight. But them Palestinian garments, and they have an underneath garment. And she touched His garment.

L-131 And He stopped and said, "Who touched Me?" She went back out in the audience. He said...

L-132 "Why," Peter said, "Lord, that don't sound good. Everybody is touching You."

L-133 He said, "But I perceive I've gotten weak. Virtue, strength, went out of Me." How many remembers it? [Congregation says, "Amen." --Ed.]

L-134 And He looked all around through the audience until He found her. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] And said, "Thy faith has saved thee." Is that right? ["Amen."]

L-135   Now look, ministers, does the Bible say that, "Jesus Christ," Hebrews 3, "is a High Priest right now that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities"? [Ministers and congregation say, "Amen."--Ed.] How many knows the Bible says that? ["Amen."] Well, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, how would He act today? As He did yesterday. Sure.

L-136 Now, you, see, wouldn't do no good to touch me. I'd be like your brother, your husband, your father, whatever it might be. Wouldn't be no virtue in me. But if you, your faith, can touch Him, then watch Him turn. Just try it. Don't try it; that's too much today, of trying. You do it!

L-137 Now be real reverent, be quiet. Now just a few moments will tell. These things that I've said, it sounded good; but, you see, are they true or not? That's the next thing. Is this all...

L-138   I hear the Mohammedans talk, Sikhs, Jains, Buddha, oh, my, Mohammedans, but they can't... They can talk about something that was, but what about now? See? If He isn't...

L-139 If He's the God of history, He is no good to us today, if He's the God of history only. If He isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever, then the Bible told something wrong.

L-140 Now, if He can get me in His submissive will, He can get you in His will, then working between us, see, that's where the Power of God comes.

L-141   Now, if that man is sick, I want him to sit right where he is at. And now can you see him from the audience? He is sitting right here.

L-142 Bring his chair right up here if you want to. But can you feel like walking over here, sir? All right, just come right here and sit down. Bring the chair right here, Brother Grant, if you will, so the man can sit here just a moment. All right, now just sit down right there, sir.

L-143   I've been noticing the man for a few minutes, just about to pass out. He must be seriously sick. I do not know. And if I did know and could help him, and wouldn't do it, then I'm not fit to stand behind this platform here and talk to you people, you Christians.

L-144 But the man probably is not as old as I. And this is our... Probably we're unknown to each other. You don't know me, I suppose. [The brother says, "Yes, I do."--Ed.] You know me. But I don't know you. ["I was at a service in Jonesboro."] Oh, you saw me at Jonesboro, about fifteen years ago, when I was over there in a meeting. Yes, sir. ["I sure was."] Well, that was a great time over there. I believe that was Brother Richard Reed. ["Yes, sir."] Uh-huh.
