<TITLE>20. Par 210-216</TITLE>L-210 There is not a person sitting in front of me that I know, that I can think of, or see anybody that I really know. How many knows, out here, we're all strangers, raise your hands. Know that I don't know nothing about you, raise up your hands. Anywhere in the audience, knows I know nothing about you. I guess it's everywhere, especially up in here. Now maybe the other people just... I don't know them. They just didn't raise their hands, but I--I--I don't know them, anyhow. I believe I do see Richard Blair sitting right here. I believe that's right. I can... It's dark down there. There is lights this way. I don't see.

L-211   But look at here, I'm trying to tell you, that, when that quickening power comes into you, it's Jesus Christ. When Jesus layed His hands on the sick, they got well.

L-212 When Jesus had quickening power to quicken Him, as a Man, He could look out and tell the thoughts that was upon the people, tell them what they were thinking about, what they done. Have His back turned to them, tell them the same thing, "Why do you reason in your hearts?" The woman touched His garment, He said, "Who touched Me?" He looked around and found her, and said, "I perceive virtue has gone out of Me. Your faith has made you whole." That's Jesus Christ. That proves that where the church is, and what the real quickening power of God does to the human being. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
Let's bow our heads just a moment.

L-213   Dear God, we've had a fight with Satan this afternoon, on these microphones, knowing them people probably didn't get half of it, the bounding around on the... in the building like that. But I pray, God, that the Holy Spirit will take that which was meant to be, Lord, to let the people see that we're not some dead dragging bunch of hope-so's. God, we are alive now, quickened by the power of the resurrection of Christ. Jesus Christ lives in us. We believe that, Lord.

L-214 We claim no glory of our own. Like on Mount of Transfiguration, where every one of us is represented there; there was Moses, the one that died and raised again; there was Elijah, the quickening saints that'll be caught up at the last day. Oh, they seen then, when they looked back, they seen Jesus only. We know, Lord, we don't want people to see us. We're not here for that purpose. Far be it!

L-215 But, Lord, it does delight our hearts when we see Jesus glorified among us; when we see Him glorified, when we see His Word, which He is the Word; when we see we can read it here in the Bible, where He promised He would do it, then see Him work it right in us, O God, how it makes us feel humble, that we know that His living Presence...

L-216   We haven't joined nothing or bargained for nothing. We just believe, Lord, unto Eternal Life. And you sealed us in there by the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and quickened our bodies, and quickened our spirits, and quickened us then to see visions, and prophesy, and speak in tongues, see great signs and wonders take place. Why, it's the living God. We're into that Body. When, to the world, is foolishness to them that perish; but to we who believe, it's the power of God, unto Eternal Life. We thank Thee for it, Father.
