Somebody say, "Isn't he a man?" He's got shoulders that wide and arms that big. He might be a brute, but he might not have a ounce of man in him. That's right.

You don't judge man by muscle, you judge man by character.

I seen men that weighed two hundred pounds and would throw a baby out of a mother's arms and ravish her for his own beastly lust. That's right.

You don't judge a man by the callous in his hand, but by the bags in the knees of his pants where he's been praying. Hallelujah. That's what we need today, some more men like that, got real godly old fashion Holy Ghost conviction.

God is not known by knowing genealogy, it by kneeology, where God knows. You don't find God by studying books; you find God on your knees.

And the first time-- Now look, he bit hisself off gun power. What did he do with that? That was knowledge, the tree of knowledge; he kills his comrade. The next he bit him an automobile. Automobiles kills more then all the wars put together. Knowledge still-- He's got hisself a hydrogen bomb now, I wonder what he's going to do with that? See? He's constantly destroying himself by eating off the tree of knowledge.

So just forget about knowledge and all your puffed-up knowledge, and just remember it's “thus saith the Lord,” and that's what God wants you to believe, is His Word. That's right. That's God's provided way for man and always has been.

Joshua seen the same thing; he said, "Gather the Israelites up and down this river here, you're going to see the glory of God." Yes, sir.

"How are you going to get across the river?"

"That's not my business. It's my business to walk down to the river. It's God's business to open it up when I get there." That's right.

It's your business to testify and claim your healing, say, "I'm healed." And it's God's business to take care of it after you testify and proclaim it. That's right. God give you a dare to try it. So now just take it tonight and find out whether it's right or not. I like that...

Any man in the Bible, and any man through the age, that's ever had any get-up about them, has been men who dared to stand there, and call black black, and white white (That's right.), took God at His promise and stood there.

Now, the only thing, the little tree, you stick it in the ground, plant it, and it has to grow. It has to draw the moisture from the ground, and it has to draw more than what its 'lotted portion is. You have to give it plenty of water. And when you give it water, it just drinks, and drinks, and drinks till it can't hardly drink no more, and it just starts pushing out. And it pushes out limbs, pushes out leaves, pushes out blossoms, pushes out apples. The apples was on the inside of it at the beginning. And it just has to drink.

And every man that's borned-again in Christ Jesus-- Everything you have need of, your healing-- Satan will afflict you, sure he will. But everything you have need of in the whole life's journey is in you right then. And we are planted in Christ Jesus. You see what I mean?

And I believe we're on the borderland tonight. I was wondering about all my meetings and things, how I had to cancel them out.

I truly believe, before the church can have the rapture, it's got to have rapturing faith. We can't even have faith for Divine healing, let alone rapturing faith.

Got to have a faith that'll change and quicken this body, and be taken away. I believe there's a church on its road tonight, a power of the living God, that men will speak the Word here and there, and it'll flash like lightning.

And a church is coming out, not a psychologist, not some of this put-on, make-belief; but a real, true, genuine, anointed Holy Ghost, called-out church. Amen.

Lady, you setting bound in that wheelchair there, in that chair. Do you believe, setting there with the green looking dress on? Stand up on your feet. Jesus Christ healed you. That's right.

Let's say, "Praise the Lord." Come forward. Who wants to be healed by the Spirit of the Lord? Somebody help the lady get on her feet. Here she comes, been bound, walking. Let's say, "Praise the Lord," everybody. Coming out of her chair--- Come forward. Accept Jesus as your Healer now. Come believing.

Almighty God, Author of Life, Giver of every good gift, send Thy blessings upon this people. Believe Him, friends. I now through His faith and in the name of Jesus Christ--- Every person in here that's a believer have faith---

God healed you then, sister. Have faith, believe. You with that---

Raise up your hands, accept Him at this minute. Say, "Lord--" You don't need them prayer cards. Everybody believe. Throw your prayer cards in the air. Say, "I believe Christ." Get rid of your prayer cards. That's the way to do it. Hallelujah!

God never even brings judgment upon the earth without first giving the people a warning. God never does nothing without declaring it first what He's going to do.

And He gives people a choice, and...you can do right or wrong...See, God can never change His nature. His program can never change from what He started with, because He's infinite and His program and His ideas are all perfect. So if He would change It, that would show that He had learned more. So, being infinite, He cannot learn more... His first decision is always perfect, and there's nothing can ever change it. See?

God, before man ever...had a chance to do wrong, God put him on the basis to where he could accept or deny, he could receive or not.

When God sends the Holy Ghost and knocks at a man's door, and he deliberately turns It down, sometime he's going to turn It for his last time. And then you won't be a privileged character.

You can set in a church and listen to the Gospel and agree with the Gospel. You might do so much as say, "I know it's right," but never put a finger on it to help it yourself. See? You just listen to it, 'cause you say, "I believe it's right." That's just sympathizing with it.

I could say, "I believe that's a ten thousand dollars." That don't mean I got it. See? I could say, "That's good cold water," but refuse to drink it. You know what I mean? And this is Eternal Life. And to refuse to do it, one day you'll cross the line between judgment and mercy, and then you won't be-- have the privilege to come and receive it.

Now, remember friends, we're going to look at the thing right straight in the face. God never sends judgment until first He sends His mercy. But after His mercy, it's bound to be judgment. To reject the mercy is the bringing in of judgment, always.

Notice. Though they could not believe, there was something in them. They invited Him [Jesus] to come in. He act like He was going on by.

He might act like that to you tonight...He might act like He's going to pass you by...But remember, maybe He's just giving you a test too...

Now, remember, He makes out like He's going to pass by. And they constrained Him. Now, they didn't understand what He was talking about, but yet their minds all--

They didn't know what to believe. Now, there's just a many person like that today. There's a many person like that in Beaumont tonight. They don't know what to believe. But do you know what they did? They did the most wisest thing that any man could do. They invited Him in.

That's it. That's it. It's then and then only can He reveal Himself, when He's invited to come in. Welcome Him in. Say, "Lord Jesus, I know the Scripture says that. I might not understand it, but come into my heart. Now, I want to accept You; I want to believe You; then manifest yourself to me."
