<TITLE>18. Par 130-135</TITLE>L-130   Then I got to thinking, "After all, if it was the vision, what was it? It was the same dirty hands on him, uh-huh, same man praying for him, same dirty hands."
Then I begin to think, "I am His representative. Then, God doesn't see me. That Blood of that righteous One lays up there upon the altar; it makes intercessions for me. He is my sufficiency. He is my prayer. He is my Life." I said, "The only thing that'd make me put my hands on him, with faith, because I had faith in the vision. And without the vision, the same faith would do the same thing; so I can reckon myself nothing, but reckon Him my all-in-all. He is my Life. He is my Commissioner. No denomination sent me; He sent me. Hallelujah! I go in His Name. I'll lay hands upon him." Walked down there and laid hands on that boy, and that night he was in the meeting, solid well. Amen!

L-131   Oh, yes, He is that Fountain. "No other fount I know. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus!" I'm a stinker, I'm a renegade, every one of us are, but before God we are perfect. Je-... "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect." How can you be? Because a perfect One represents us there. That Fountain is there every day, fresh. Not some stagnated something, but fresh every day, that washes away all my sins. He is that Fountain.

L-132   Now in closing, I might say this. Anything different from This is broken cisterns, and will finally leak out what you put in it; if you're putting all your hopes, all your time, and everything, in one of those stagnated cisterns. Jesus said they were broken cisterns. God said, "They're broken, and they'll leak out everwhat you put in them." You can't go any farther with them, 'cause they'll leak out. For He is the only way to the Truth, to the Life, and to Eternal joy, and Eternal peace. He is the only One and the only way to That. Oh, my!

L-133 The inexhaustible Fountain of Life is Jesus Christ. Why? And Who is He? The Word, the same; the Word, the Life, the Fountain, "the same yesterday, today, and forever." The true believer, It's his supreme joy, his supreme Life. And his supreme satisfaction is in Christ. No pumping, no pulling, no joining, no bailing; just believing and resting. That's what He is to the believing.

L-134   Like father Abraham; he never pulled, he never fretted, he never worried. He had the Word. He layed upon El Shaddai's breast. When Abraham was a hundred years old, God appeared to him, and said, "I am the Almighty." The Hebrew word is El Shaddai, means, "the Breasted-One." "And you are old, and your strength is gone, but just lay upon My bosom and nurse your strength from this Fountain." Amen! What did he nurse himself to? A new body. He had the baby, by Sarah. And, fifty years later, had seven children by another woman.

L-135 Oh, El Shaddai! The Old Testament shows what He did, the New Testament tells what He'll do. Amen! In the Old Testament...
