<TITLE>22. Par 264-274</TITLE>L-264   Here is a man. I've never seen this man. He is quite a bit younger than I, and I've never seen him before. If we're strangers, sir, to each other, raise up your hands. All right. I've never seen him.

L-265 Now let's take a picture, in the Bible, let's take when... when Jesus met Simon Peter. I would imagine him being a man something about that age, his hair thinning, when Jesus met him. Now watch. He talked to him.

L-266 Now, if I don't know the man, never seen him, both of us with our hands up, we're total strangers to each other. Now, the others was women, let's see about this man.

L-267   Now you look at me, just a moment, as your brother. And now if the Lord would say something that you have done, or something that you ought to have done, or ought not have done, or whatever it is, you'll know whether it's the truth or not. [The brother says, "Yes, sir."--Ed.] You would know. And then if He can tell you what's wrong with you, or something that's on your mind, what your sickness is, or--or something like that, tell you something that you--you'll know whether it's the truth or not. Then if He can tell you what has been, and you know whether it's true or not; if He tells you what's going to be, then you know that's got to be true.

L-268 Now would that make everyone in here... Just take my time with this man, and talk with him. This is the first one.

L-269   Now you looking this way, just a moment, as we talk. May the Lord help me now. And do you believe what the Bible says is true? [The brother says, "Yes, sir."--Ed.]

L-270 You believe that this is the hour that Jesus is to come; that the Church has come from justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Spirit, just like the pyramid like that coming? And now the top stone is going to have to be so perfect till, when the Headstone comes, it has to blend right with it. The ministry has to start out like this, and just come to the minority all the time, getting smaller groups, and smaller group, until finally the Stone meets with the building. He is the Headstone, takes the whole building with Him, which is the Church. All of them will raise up, plumb back from this first watch, on to the seventh, and all go in the Rapture. Each one had their day allotted to them, and they had their reformers and founders, and so forth, all down through. And this last day, it come into an eagle again, which is back in the prophetic age, to bring this together.

L-271 Do you believe that, the Word and Stone, the coming One? [The brother says, "I do."--Ed.] You have a very fine feeling to you, sir.

L-272   Now, what's your trouble, you've had an accident. In that accident, you were gassed with carbon monoxide gas. That is true. It poisoned you. It poisoned you in your liver, and you had trouble with that. You had trouble with your stomach. [The brother says, "Right."--Ed.] You had trouble with your heart. ["Right."] And it's made you so nervous until you built yourself in a complex. You're poor, must go back to work. But you're afraid to go back to work, you're afraid of that carbon monoxide gas. But it's going to be all right. Now, remember, if--if Jesus Christ will tell me who you are, will... Now them things was true, wasn't they? If He'll tell me who you are, will you accept it and know, and go on back and be of a good cheer? Will you do it? Your name is Mr. Wagner. ["That's right."] Go on back, on your road.

L-273   Do you believe now? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] With all your heart, you believe? ["Amen."] "If thou canst believe, all things are... All things are possible to them that believe."

L-274 Now do you believe that God will heal that female trouble for you? Now just go on across the platform saying... [The sister crys out--Ed.] Amen. See? God bless you.
