<TITLE>06. Par 62-70</TITLE>L-62   Now this Spirit of Christ come back upon the Church, exactly fulfilled John 15 again, where He said, "I am the Vine, ye are the branches." And then again, John 14:12, "He that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also," same works, same thing. On down through the Scripture! "If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you; ask what you will, it'll be given to you." Many things that Christ...

L-63 "A little while and the world seeth Me no more. The world," there the Greek word kosmos, which means world order, "sees Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me, for I," I being a personal pronoun, "I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world," making Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. He--He--He remains. He raised from the dead. "The world, the unbeliever, won't see Me." They won't recognize It. But the believer will recognize Him, because He's the same Jesus that He always was. He hasn't changed. "Same yesterday, today, and forever!"

L-64   And now, and that Word, many people tries to make That like It's not inspired. Now, I want to say something here now, just come upon my mind.

L-65   And I do not believe that the pulpit is made for a place for jokes. This is no joking place. This is the sincerity. And as we see the Day of the Lord appearing, we should be that much more sincere.

L-66 But there was a--a story told me, sometime ago, of a--a young fellow that... This was at Boston, and he went away. He had had a fine mother, at first, to begin the story, and the mother certainly knowed her boy had a calling in his life, to serve the Lord. And that would--that would help any mother, ought to, any real mother, to know that their son... that God has honored them with a child that's going to preach the Gospel. That ought to be an asset to any mother's life. And so the poor mother, trying to do everything she could, she sent him away to school, and to a seminary, to receive his--his BA.

L-67   And so while he was away, the mother took seriously sick. And so she, as any Christian would do, they called the doctor. And the doctor... She had a double pneumonia. And the doctor tried all he could do for her, to--to check the pneumonia, and there was nothing. He had give her drugs of--of sulphur, penicillin, and so forth, to--to kill the germ, and it didn't take affect. The mother got worse, constantly. So they sent word to her son, which was way down at Asbury, Kentucky, to Wilmore College, to come and vis-... see her because she was going to die. And then the next morning, when the boy was getting ready to leave, they received a telegram, "Your mother is much better. Wait for further call."

L-68   About a year later, the woman had the privilege of seeing her son. He returned home on vacation and time off of his school. And he said, "Mother, I heard that you got all right," after they had had a little time of fellowship, as son and mother would. Said, "I--I never did understand just what drug the doctor changed, to cause your--your conditions to improve so quickly."

L-69 And she said, "Son, it--it wasn't that." She said, "You know where that little mission is down the street here, them people down there that..."
Said, "Yes, I remember that."

L-70 Said, "There is a lady said that she felt led to come up here and ask me if the pastor could come pray for me. And so I told her it was all right." So said, "The pastor come up and read it out of the Bible, 'If any among you, sick, call the elders, and anoint them with oil; pray over them. The prayer of faith shall save the sick.'" And said, "You know, he read that out of the Scripture, and he prayed for me and anointed me with oil. And--and the next morning, I was so much better till the doctor let me sit up. In a couple days I was all right. Well, he said, said... Oh, praise the Lord!" She said, "Son, you ought to..."
