If you notice at the platform, how close I have to examine. One word within myself would be wrong. It must be perfect, for it’s God; and I have to let Him do it. And then you watch It, watch the expressions. I ask sometimes if He would show me certain things to do, I’ll do it. “But the Son can do nothing,” said Jesus, “except those things that He sees the Father doing.” Did you notice the resurrection of Lazarus? Look at the people died during the time of His reign. And only three of them we have record of was ever raised: Jairus’ daughter, the widow’s son, and Lazarus. His reign was three years and a half in Jerusalem, the anointed One of God. But what did…When Lazarus His friend died, He said, “Lazarus sleepeth, and for your sake I’m glad I wasn’t there. But I go wake him.” He knew what was going to take place; the Father had already showed Him. Look at Him at the grave when He prayed. He said, “Not for Thee, not…You couldn’t hear Me always, but for these that stand by, I ask it.” Is that right? The Father already showed Him what He was going to do, because His own Word said that He could not do nothing except the Father showed Him first. Is that right? Then, friends, isn’t…Brother that said that to me tonight, brother dear, I…Unless God shows me. I’ll speak what He says. But when He doesn’t speak, I’ll keep silent there, ’cause I’m a minister, and I believe in God. And the things that I speak of is the truth, and God testifies of it. And I’m not here to clown before people; I’m here to serve God and to do what God says.
