<TITLE>16. Par 192-202</TITLE>L-192 Well, let me tell you. In the Book of Hebrews, the 3rd chapter, it says that, "He is right now a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." How many believe that to be the Truth? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See? Well, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, how would He act today? The same as He did yesterday. Is that right? ["Amen."]

L-193 Now you don't have to be up here. You just believe, and you say this, "Now, Lord, I--I... This is all strange, but the man tells it out of the Bible. It sounds..." It sounded strange in every age. But search it, and see if the Scriptures...
Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures; They testify of Me." See?

L-194   Now search the Scriptures. That's true. We're in the last days. All nature is proving it's the last days. The church in its conglomeration, you're all going to the great big ecumenical slaughter pretty soon, up here, you see, just the mother harlot and all of her daughters, just as--as the Bible said, taking the mark of the beast and don't know it. See? Oh, get to that later.

L-195 Notice now, while He's present, if we can get His Presence here. You out there without a prayer card, you touch His garment. He's the High Priest. How you do it? With your faith? Touch His garment and see if He don't turn and do the same thing He did then. The Bible said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." That would be very convincing. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right.

L-196   Now, everybody, don't nobody stir around now. Be real reverent. See, you must respect the Holy Spirit. Respect! Only way you'll ever get anything from God, is respect His Message. Respect It. Now listen.

L-197 Let's just take, all you Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, and Catholic, and all, just take your religion, your denomination, and set it over here for, aside, a few minutes, and say, "If He is the Word, the Word is a discerner of the thoughts that's in the heart. That was the Messiah yesterday; that's Him today. It's got to be. And He promised it today, now."

L-198   Now here is a little lady standing here. Now don't nobody move. Just be real reverent and stand still. Now I, by--by a gift...

L-199 Now, a gift is just not something you take like a--a chopping axe, and go to chopping and cutting away. That's wrong. A gift is know how to get yourself out of the way. It's just relax yourself and get yourself out, and then God comes in and uses you the way He wants to. A gift is get yourself out of the way. See? Not something you put in your hand, go to stabbing and sticking; that, that ain't God. See? The thing we do is just get yourself out of the way, then the Holy Spirit comes in and goes to using it any way that He wants to use it.

L-200 Now you've got to get yourself out of the way. No matter what God would do here, He has to do it on you, too. No matter how much He would anoint me, He's got to anoint you. If He don't, "many mighty works He could not do."

L-201   Now I believe I seen somebody, a little boy, looked like, set over here in a wheel chair or something. I thought I seen a man back there. No matter what it is, where you are, now you just believe. Here is a little woman has to sit here, bowed over.

L-202 Now remember, I cannot heal anybody. There is no such a thing as any man healing. It's God. How many understands that now? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Healing is already purchased. It's to get you to believe that His Presence is here to keep His Word. Now if I have told you His Word, that He promised to do this, and you all believe it; now if He does it, that identifies Him here.
