<TITLE>13. Par 138-150</TITLE>L-138 "Yeah, Lord, I believe," said the man with the child with the epilepsy, "I believe that Thou art the Son of God that was to come into the world." Now, we know that that can only take that attitude to bring the results.

L-139   Now, quickly, let's think of Him a moment, here He is on His road up. A little priest came down, no doubt but that little fellow was a borderline believer.

L-140 There is so many of them in the world today, little borderline believers. They want to believe That. They want to believe that the Holy Ghost is real. They want to believe this is the apostolic move, as God promised in the last days He would pour out His Spirit. We... he wants to believe in Malachi 4, that He promised, in the last days the--the original pentecostal Faith would be restored back to the--to the church again.

L-141 Malachi 4 claims it. "Behold, I will send to you Elijah in the last day," that's right, "and He will restore the Faith of the children back to the fathers again," see, "the Faith of the fathers to the children, also." See, it's got to be.
You say, "Well, that was John the Baptist." No, no.

L-142 John the Baptist was Malachi 3. That's right. Matthew 11 says so, "If you can receive it, this is he who is spoke of, 'Behold, I send My messenger before My face.'" It was Elijah, certainly. Jesus said it was. But not the Elijah of Malachi 4, at all.

L-143   Because, "Immediately after that Message, the earth is to be burnt with fire, and the righteous walk out upon the ashes of the wicked." So it never happened in the time of John. We've got to have a Message sweep back and bring the people out of all these denominational conditions, back to the original, genuine pentecostal Faith. And we're seeing it done, it's fulfilling of a Scripture that has to come to pass. All Scriptures must be fulfilled. How many more of that we could apply, it would take me longer than my time up now, to show. But you understand these things, that it's got to happen just exactly like this, to Abraham's children, just as He promised.

L-144   We see Jesus going up now to heal the little girl. Cause, the father, the little borderline believer, something come to a spot that he had to recognize Jesus, so, the doctor had given her up. And he got on his little black hat and took off down to find out whether he could find Jesus. See, He is always right there when you want Him. He found Him just coming into the shore.

L-145 And he said, "Come to my little girl, lay Your hands upon her, and she will be made well." Said, "She is laying at the point of death. She is my only child." Said, "She is twelve years of age. We don't have no other children. Wife and I," perhaps, "are getting old. And this is the only child that we have, and she is laying at the point of death. Lord, I believe You. If You'll just come lay Your hands upon her, she'll get well."

L-146 See, what did he recognize? He recognized that that promised Word of God was manifested in this Man.

L-147 Just the same as Nicodemus said, "Rabbi, teacher, we know Thou art a teacher comes from God. We know it. The Pharisees know it." Why didn't they confess it? "No man could do the things that You do, 'less God was with Him. We know that You come from God."

L-148   Here we find out that Jairus believed the same thing. He said, "Come lay Your hand." He knowed that God was in Him. "Lay Your hands upon my child. Though she is at the point of death, she'll live."

L-149 He just walked along with him. And while he was going, here come a runner coming back, and said, "Don't trouble Him, don't trouble the Master any farther. The--the girl, dead, she's gone on now. She's passed on."

L-150 Jesus turned to Jairus, said, "Didn't I say to you, 'If you would only believe, you'll see the glory of God'? If you'll just only believe it!"
