<TITLE>22. Par 193-200</TITLE>L-193 Now, I don't care how much the people act in these denominations, say they're "looking for Christ," their actions prove they're not. That's right. Your actions speaks louder than your words. All they're thinking about is making denominational members, but there are some people, one here and there, that's looking for the coming of the Lord. They're watching for... though. Only those will He reveal Himself to, only those will understand.

L-194   Just the Elected understood Who He was. Just think, there's about maybe three million people, Jews, on earth, there wasn't one third of them ever knowed He was there till He had done come and gone. See? But He revealed Himself to those who were waiting: John the Baptist, and--and the apostles that had been called by John, and so forth, and blind Anna in the temple, Simeon the priest that "it was revealed to him by the Holy Ghost that he was going to see the Christ." All those great religious leaders, theologians and things, blind as they could be!

L-195 Only can the rain raise the seed, if the seed's already there. And as you was a germ first in your father, and he didn't know you, yet you were in your father. But through a bedding ground of your mother, you were made manifest in his likeness, and then he could talk to you. God, the Great God; if you've got Eternal Life, then the germ of Eternal Life was in God at the beginning. And you were there, you were in His thinking, your name and all. And He, by foreknowledge, ordained you to see This. And you that was not ordained, will never see It. But, remember, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, "The hour is here!" Won't you believe Him? Give your lives to Him. I have to stop, it's after nine.
Let's bow our heads.

L-196 "I have heard, Lord, of Thee, now I see Thee!" Lord Jesus, bless this people as they wait.

L-197   Now I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to let the Holy Spirit (I trust that He will) search out your minds, try you, try your soul, and see if you really believe. And if you find there's a little bit of doubt there, will you raise your hand? Say, "Lord Jesus, let me see You. I've heard of You, but I've never really seen You. Let me see You, I'll believe." All right. That's fine.

L-198 Is there some here that doesn't know Him as your Saviour? Raise your hand, say, "If... I--I'm a sinner, but if I... if You--if You'll just let me see You, Lord Jesus, manifest this Word that they're talking about. I know that that's how Job seen You. I know that's how Abraham saw You. I know that's how all the rest of them saw You, because it was Your promised Word being vindicated. I've heard all kinds of things, and gimmicks, and everything, but I understand that there's a last-day Message in the land, that was spoke of by an Angel on the river, in 1933. I heard of the healing services going forth, and I know when that takes place, it can't stay in that same old denominational rut." It wasn't sent for that, never did stay there. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?...

L-199   What if Moses would've come, said, "Let's build an ark like Noah did, float out of Egypt down the river"? Oh, no. See? No! He had a Message from God, he was the manifestation. That prophet arising on the scene, ought to have proved to Israel right there. They hadn't had a prophet for four hundred years, they hadn't had a prophet, and here a prophet rises on the scene. They ought to have knowed that something was going to happen.

L-200 Israel again hadn't had a prophet for hundreds of years, and here come Jesus on the scene. And the woman at the well, said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Now, we haven't had one for four hundred years." Because, He knowed what was in her heart. See?
