<TITLE>10. Par 91-101</TITLE>L-91 A sure sign of a true prophet, going up, taking them back to the Word. They could not understand His manner of talk.

L-92   And, look, the Scripture had said that was going to happen, exactly word by word the way it was. Even David, hundreds of years before that, about eight hundred years, cried the very same thing that He said on the cross. And no doubt, that in the temple that morning, they might have sang that same song, Psalms 22, "My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken Me?" In the temple singing about it, and, the God that they claimed that they served, they were crucifying.

L-93 So is it today! The God that they claim that they believe in, that manifests Himself, they will, you will shut up every door, and no cooperation, no nothing else. They... It's contrary to their creeds. O fools, slow of heart to know the day that we live in! Has not God promised this in the last days? How this Laodicea church would be lukewarm, and Jesus on the outside, trying to get in for a little cooperation? What is Jesus? The Word, the true Word that's made manifest. On the outside, trying to get in, and couldn't get in.

L-94   The hour we're living, course, blind, same way. Jesus said they'd be like that. The prophets said they'd be like that. "Heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. Trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, despisers of those that are good, having a form of godliness, denying the Power thereof," the Power of His resurrection, His manifestation that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And He lives today, evermore, to vindicate the things that He had said. I'm not yelling at you, but I want you to hear.

L-95   True, their eyes were still closed. Notice, though they could not believe, there was something in them, they invited Him to come in. He act like He was going on by.

L-96 He might act like that to you, tonight. Now in closing, I'm going to close early so I can have a prayer line. He might act like He is going to pass you by. Maybe your prayer card won't be called, but, remember, maybe He's just giving you a test, too. See, He is just as much God out there as He is up here, or anywhere else. He proves that, day after day, night after night. He is God, everywhere. See? He is omnipresent.

L-97 Now remember, He makes out like He is going to pass by. And they constrained Him. Now, they didn't understand what He was talking about, but yet their minds all... They didn't know what to believe.

L-98 Now there is just a many a person like that, today. There is a many a person like that in Beaumont, tonight. They don't know what to believe. But you know what they did? They did the most wisest thing that any man could do, they invited Him in. That's it. That's it. It's then, and then only, can He reveal Hisself, when He is invited to come in. Welcome Him in, say, "Lord Jesus, I know the Scripture says that. I might not understand it, but come into my heart. I want to accept You. I want to believe You. Then, manifest Yourself to me."

L-99   Notice, they invited Him in. Now they couldn't explain it, they--they, it's a... He, He just... They didn't understand what He was talking about. It was all mixed up, to them. They couldn't understand it, but yet they said, invite, constrained Him, "You must come in!"
He said, "No, I--I got to be going on."

L-100 "Oh, but, Lord, You--You must come in! You, You must come in!" And constrained Him until, called upon Him, and until He had to go in.

L-101 That's the way you do. And then when He gets inside, that's when He can reveal Hisself. He can make Hisself known when inside.
