<TITLE>17. Par 203-212</TITLE>L-203 So, now, you believe, and you pray, and you trust, see what God does. See if you can touch His garment. You touch Him, say, "Lord Jesus, I know that preacher don't know me. He knowed nothing about me, but You do. So, Lord, when I touch You, You speak through him." Now what is this?

L-204   A gift is not something that you take like a--a sickle, or a--or a knife, and go through with that knife like a gift, cutting, that's not a gift of God. A gift of God is just... A gift of God is knowing how to relax yourself, get yourself out of the way, so God can come in and use you. It ain't something that you've got in your hand, that you stab around with. You just get yourself out of the way, and let the Holy Spirit use you. Now, now, isn't that the way you people do when you speak with tongues, you Pentecostals? Just get yourself out of the way.

L-205 Well, that's the same thing here now. And if He will grant it, will you believe it and accept it, know that His Presence is here? You won't need no prayer card then.

L-206   How about the--the Judge of Heavens and earth, as Abraham called Him, "Judge of Heaven and earth, would You do wrong?" See? If He, in this last days, according to His promise now... Through the week, we'll just keep throwing Scripture in there, showing you that's the Truth. And if He is here with us, tonight, so plain that you can see His works and know He's here, as His promised Word; not some mythical something, but what His Word promised He would be; then you believe Him.

L-207   Now, I don't know now. Sometimes, if the visions come, then it'll... I can't tell what I'm saying; so let the--the microphone, and whatever it is, ever who is on it, louden it up. I want you to be real reverent just a moment.

L-208 Now is this the--the lady? Now, here, it happens to be a woman, just what I was talking about, Saint John 4, a woman and a man meet for the first time in life. I'm a total stranger, and we're total strangers to one another. If that's right, just so you raise your hand, let the people, see, so we've never meet one another in life. There stands the woman, here I, just a perfect thing of our... You're not the woman there, and I'm not the Lord, but it--it's two people that meets here, just a little place like they met, first time in life. Now, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He would perhaps talk to you a minute, see, like He did the woman. See? Now, the Father...

L-209   The other day, when, recently when Brother Borders here was, we had six hundred and something invitations in the States here, besides overseas. He said, "Baton Rouge, Louisiana, there is a group of man down there."

L-210 I said, "Go ahead, that's all right, set up the meeting down there." I felt to do that. Here I am. Now I don't know what next. I'm just here. That's all I know. See?

L-211 Now here you are, a person. I'm preaching the Word, saying that, "He is not dead. He's alive." He's alive, and promised to identify Himself in our flesh, human flesh, like He did back there. See? All that God was, He poured into Christ; all Christ was, poured into the Church. That's Him, Christ in us. Now if the Lord Jesus has raised from the dead...

L-212   And I'd bring you up here and lay hands on you, and maybe like some of our evangelist brethren, which it's just exactly right, and lay hands on you, say, "Your infirmity is gone. The Lord has healed you." That would be all right. You could go. That's okay. I certainly endorse that, one hundred percent. That's what the Bible said.
