<TITLE>18. Par 218-229</TITLE>L-218 But a prophet is borned a prophet, predestinated, foreordained. "Jeremiah," God said, "before you was even formed in your mother's wombs, I ordained you a prophet over the nation." John the Baptist, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born, "He was the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord.'" See? Sure.

L-219   Notice, now, when Jesus was here on earth, He made the sacrifice for healing and for salvation. Do we believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Jesus could not come tonight and save you; He has already done it. The sin question was settled. He is the Lamb of God that take, took away the sins of the world. "He was wounded for our transgressions. With His stripes we were healed." It's a past tense. No matter how much you would scream out, and how much you would scream out, that wouldn't do a bit of good until you accept it.

L-220 "And He is a High Priest sitting at the right hand of the Majesty on High, to make intercessions on our profession." You've got to accept it and profess it. See, that's correct. Same way by healing.

L-221   But what if He was standing here tonight, wearing this suit that He gave me? What would He do in the prayer line? How would you know it was Jesus? See? Now, as far as somebody come and say, "Jesus, will You heal me?"
He would say, "I've already done it."

L-222 Now if he had nail scars in their hand; and anybody could have that, see, any scar could be.

L-223 But what is it, how do you know, what do you know what kind of a vine it is? It's what kind of life it's got in it. And every vine, if the first... The first branch that come out of that Vine, Jesus Christ, they wrote a Book of Acts behind it. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] If It ever puts forth another one, they'll write another book of acts. For if it bore grapes, the first one, the next time it can't have lemons. But, a lemon vine can live in there, it's a citrus fruit. But it's living of its own; it'll always bring forth lemons, it's the grafted vine into it. But if the Vine itself puts forth a branch, it'll bear fruit like the first one did, for it'll be the Life that's in Jesus Christ will be in that vine. That's right.

L-224   Jesus said, "He that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he also." Now if He was here, He would be known by His Life, and by the things that He promised for this age.

L-225 How many was here last night, let's see your hand. Practically all of you, I suppose. All right. Now there is people...

L-226 Everyone in that line, as far as I know, is a total stranger to me. If that's right, raise up your hand. Each one is a... Are you a stranger? [The person says, "Yes."--Ed.]

L-227 How many out there is strangers to me? All right. Only thing I ask you to do is have faith and believe that I have told you the Truth.

L-228   Now, look, Christ promised these things for the last days. Now, I know you've had great warriors here in the city, perhaps Oral Roberts and, oh, like the late Jack Coe and those great man of faith; they lived their time. But remember the last sign that the Gentile world seen before the promised son arrived in Abraham's time, which is the father of all, and Jesus promised the same thing; the last sign that was showed to the Church elected, now remember, there was One. Two went down and preached in the Sodom, they never showed this sign; neither is it today. But to the called-out Church, the sign was showed; and so did Jesus prophesy it would be the same thing, see, God manifested in flesh, see, discerning the thoughts that's in the heart. See? Now, He promised that! "Both heavens and earth will fail, but That won't."

L-229 Now if He will manifest that, to show that He is here present, how many of you will believe Him for your healing and whatever you have need of? [Congregation rejoices--Ed.]
