24-1104P_GOD IS MINDFUL OF US

Heb 2:2  For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 

Heb 2:3  How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 
Heb 2:4  God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? 
Heb 2:5  For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 
Heb 2:6  But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 
Heb 2:7  Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 
Heb 2:8  Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 

Psa 115:11  Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. 
Psa 115:12  The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 
Psa 115:13  He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. 
Psa 115:14  The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 
Psa 115:15  Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 
Psa 115:16  The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 
Psa 115:17  The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. 
Psa 115:18  But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. 

Joh 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 
Joh 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 
Joh 14:19  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 
Joh 14:20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

*WHEN HE WAS HERE ON EARTH, AS I SAY, HE CARED FOR THE PEOPLE… THERE'S NO ONE CARES LIKE JESUS.

 HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  34      When He was here on earth, as I say, He cared for the people so much till He healed their sick, comforted their hearts, told them about a--a place that where He would go and prepare for them, and would come again to receive them unto Himself. He cared for them. And notice, He cared so much until, when He knowed He must leave in order to bring this great thing to us, He said, "I'll not leave you comfortless, but I will send the Holy Spirit, and He shall continue My care for you," until He returns. There's no one cares like Jesus. Knowing that His body, as a High Priest, in a mediatorial work that He's doing now, that Body must be in the Presence of God at all times, for intercession, that God cannot see the sinner's sin; He sees only the Blood of His Own Son. And knowing that, He sent back the Holy Spirit to continue to comfort His people. Does He care? Certainly, He cares. Now, He was to continue to care for the people, His people here on earth, in the same manner that He cared for them when He was here. Because He said in St. John, the 15th chapter, if you want to make... I got notes laying here with these Scriptures where I'm referring to, Saint John 15:26 and 27.
 
*THAT WAS GOD'S COMFORT, TO KNOW THAT HE COME SO MUCH (HE CARED FOR US) UNTIL HE BECOME ONE OF US.

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  40      He made this directly sure, see, "He will speak in My Name. The works that I do will you do also, when He's upon you." See, He would comfort in the same way, by forgiving all of our sins, healing all of our sicknesses, and speaking to us of comfort of a Kingdom that is to come. See, proving Himself among us, as God proved Hisself among us by Jesus Christ. And in--in II Timothy... I Timothy 3:16, it's written this way, know about God, "Without controversy we realize that great is the mystery of godliness, for God was manifested in the flesh." We saw God in flesh. That was God's comfort, to know that He come so much (He cared for us) until He become one of us. God manifested in the flesh. Not just another person, but God Himself!

41    And now to make it another step closer, He sends the Holy Spirit to care for our comforts, and He abides in us. Oh, He does care!
 
*… EVERYBODY DOESN'T HAVE THIS COMFORTER. …SO THE REASON THEY DON'T HAVE IT, IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T ACCEPT IT.

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  42      Now we must go on to another portion of Scripture here, or another thought to back this up. Before I go, I might say this: everybody doesn't have this Comforter. They, they don't, they don't have It. So the reason they don't have It, is because they don't accept It. It's for them, but they don't accept It. Now, I hope that you're spiritual enough to--to read what I'm saying. See? I'm speaking to a group of people that's to be prayed for in a few minutes. And we have this Comfort in Holy Spirit that's sent for the Comforter, but all people won't receive That. They don't believe in It. See? They, in order to do that, then they gather their comfort from some other resource, some other means. If they don't accept God's provided Comforter, then they have to get some other comforter, see, because you can't live without something to live for.
 
*GOD HEALS! WHATEVER SOURCE IT IS, GOD HEALS BY IT.

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

44    And we believe that doctors help people. I believe that God heals by medicine. God heals by surgery. God heals by understanding. God heals by love. Just a little love goes a long way. Let somebody be all upset, and just show them you care for them. See? God heals by love. God heals by prayer. God heals by miracles. God heals by His Word. God heals! Whatever source it is, God heals by it. It's God that heals, for He said, "I'm the Lord that healeth all thy diseases." So all of it should work together, and man in different ministries should work together for that. See? Now, but they don't do it, because sometimes they're forbidden to take certain stands upon God's Word, because their certain denominations doesn't permit them to do that. But that doesn't stop the Truth, just the same, God goes on healing just the same.
 
*SO THEY TRY TO DRAW COMFORT FROM SOME OTHER RESOURCE.

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  45      So they try to draw comfort from some other resource. Let's speak first of the soul.
46    We find out that many people try to find comfort by drinking. You know, we have a saying which is pretty well known among us today, that--that many ministers drink sometime before going to the pulpit, take a--a--a good heavy drink of intoxication. It's been known to seeing ministers on the platform, that even stagger under the influence of liquor. And that--that ought not be. It should not be. Is because many times we might condemn the man when maybe we ought not do that, we ought to find back what's the trouble. Many of them was converted from alcohol. And we find out, if they are in that condition, it's a disgrace and a reproach. But no more a reproach than it would be to lie, steal, or lust after women, or any other thing that's in the commandment. See? And maybe a man's born high-passioned, and he sees these modern strip teases on the street, and he--he constantly in trouble. See? He, that, the man is born like that. Now, what he ought to do, the minister that drinks, or the--or the woman that smokes or that...

47    Dresses immorally, trying to draw her a comfort from being so well put together, that she wants to cause man to look at her. There's no other reason. She is partially insane. See? No sensible woman would know to strip herself before man, that has her right mind. See? There's no reason for it at all. And she, but she's trying to, these young girls today that go out on the street, they're real... Well, you excuse the expression. And remember, this tape don't only just to this people here, it goes around the world. See?
 
 
*AND I KNOW MANY OF THEM MIGHT HAVE AN IQ A MILLION MILES HIGHER THAN MINE, BUT I TEST YOUR IQ WITH GOD'S WORD AND SEE WHERE IT COMES OUT.

 HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  49      It's only Satan, see. You realize the other sex, the male sex looking upon such, give such an influence to them till they'll--they'll squeak their tires and whistle the--the--the wolf whistle. And--and--and what do they do that for? The women does it in order to get the man to do that. Why do you get out, right in the heat of the day, and four o'clock in the afternoon, to mow the grass when people are coming from their work and things like that? It shows it's a spirit of insanity. And I know many of them might have an IQ a million miles higher than mine, but I test your IQ with God's Word and see where it comes out. See? That's modern IQ, but the very evidence and fruits of the life proves. So they try to find comfort with that.

50    Many of them say, "Well, I don't do that." But you so dress themselves in such an appeal till they try to be more modern than the woman that's going to sit by them in church the next morning, wear a better hat or a little better clothes, because you can afford to do it. See? See, sin reaches way down. And they try to find comfort by doing so. And they have...
 
*IT'S BECOME SUCH A THING UNTIL IT'S ABSOLUTELY STRUCK THE NATION IN WHOLE, NOT ONLY THE NATION, BUT THE WORLD IN WHOLE.

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  51      It's become such a thing until it's absolutely struck the nation in whole, not only the nation, but the world in whole. Many things I could say here, but, to save time, the healing service coming up, I--I could speak at large on this, but I won't. I'm sure you'll understand what I mean. This, it struck the political world, the political life, the social life, the moral life of the nation, of the peoples around the world. It's got to a place till man wants to be a politician just to have the name of being a politician. Got plenty of money, can pull votes and hire machines to do it, and--and so forth, just for the name, and worth millions and millions of dollars, see, just for the name of being some great politician. Enough is said at that, you know what I'm talking about.
 

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  52      And social life! The people try to get together in this insane social life. Don't tell me the world's not insane, and doing the way it's doing. It sure is. Certainly. It's a neurotic world. And by the grace of God is the only way we'll escape it. Notice, in this social life, the people has come to a place that they--they socialize little clans, and they get into there and think, "We're better than the next group." See? And it, it's just done that way. And it's the morals, it's hit the morals of the people until, honest, friends, I don't even believe that (the world) the word "moral" is recognized among ninety percent of the people of this nation. They don't even know what (the world) the word "moral" means. It's--it's escaped from them. And it's done it so trickery.
 

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  53      Satan is very subtle, see, and he does it so easy, so--so subtle, just a little teeny bit here and a little there, and let it. He's got plenty of time, so he just runs a little bit in here and a little bit in here and, the first thing you know, the people are just gradually moved into it. What would have happened of a woman, back when I was a boy of sixteen years old, if she'd have walked down the street like she does today in this strip tease form? Why, they'd had her in jail. Well, if it was wrong then, it's wrong now. See? But, you see, Satan just begin to cut off the skirts, and to lower them down, and--and it'll come to pass that there's somebody will design one a little beyond the mikini or bikini, or what you call the thing, to a fig leaf. You remember! That's right, it'll go right straight back. And it's, it's there practically now.
 
*AND NOW WE FIND, ALL THOSE THINGS IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIND COMFORT.

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  54      And now we find, all those things is because people are trying to find comfort. They're trying to find something that they... And remember, your comfort is your religion, and you make those things your religion. See? What a pity in realizing that death lays right before you. See? Until, all this has happened until it seems like that there's not a--a solid foundation left in the nation to build anything on.
 

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  55      Just let me ask you something. You can't believe nothing, hardly, but the Bible. We still have Christ; thanks to God. See? You--you can't believe anything. You get on... For instance, when you turn your television on (you that have such), and when you turn your television on and see the--the commercials, well, if a person tried to live by one hundredth of those commercials, you'd die in a week. See, you couldn't do it. And the very thing that some company will break down, like a product, and say, "This is the thing here, and don't have this one over here," and the same company sells the same product. Then another commercial will come on, take this on this side and not that, and the same company. The American people fall for such stuff as that, till the whole thing is become a rotten, until there's no hopes at all. Nobody knows what to believe. But I'm going to tell you after a while what to believe, if you want comfort, if the Lord willing.
 

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  56      The people, they lie, cheat, steal, till you almost have to have a bond of security to borrow five dollars from somebody. It's a... You know, the Bible speaks that, that there'd be no love in the last days but just amongst the elect people. That's right. The Scripture speaks of that, that the husband would be against wife, and wife against husband, children against parents. Just among the Elected of the Lord will there be any love left.
 
THEY BROUGHT IT INTO THE CHURCH, THEIR SOCIAL LIFE AND THEIR POLITICS 

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

  57      The churches has got into the same thing out of social life. They brought it into the church, their social life and their politics and their other things, until they've got the church so confused that it doesn't know what to do. They brought politics into church. They brought also social life, their social life in the church, their social activities, bingo or bunco, or ever what they call it, and these suppers and dances, and so forth, in the house of the Lord. Why, it's--it's a pity.
They say, "Well, now, that isn't, that's on the annex."

58    Remember, it was the annex also that Jesus beat the--the merchants out with their merchandise, and said, "It's written, 'My Father's house is made a house of Prayer,' and you have made it a den of thieves." See? It's wrong, I don't care where it's at. As long as the church... The church is not so much the building, it's the people in the building. And if those people are anticipating in this, why, it's wrong. And they've brought that practice.
 
 

HE.CARES.DO.YOU.CARE_  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-4  SUNDAY_  63-0721

169      Now do you care? Do you believe He's always cared? Do you believe that He cares now? If--if He--if He once cared, He'll always care. You believe that? [Congregation says, "Yes!"--Ed.] Now I want everybody just to be real reverent, keep your place and pray. Now, you in the audience, pray too. Now, how did He care? Because He could not care any more, and no man or no prophet, no one else can go beyond the boundaries of God's promised work. Is that right? Now, I don't care now, you might have been through prayer lines a hundred times, but you standing now and you that's sitting, if there is sin in your life, unbelief, confess it right now. Don't dare to come in here without that. If you--you could come through here and no matter how much a man was anointed, and would stand and lay hands on you, you'll certainly miss it a--a hundred miles unless you believe it. You must believe it. You've got to confess it. You've got to. See, then if you look here, how there's... I hope you got the picture. See? It is totally impossible for God not to keep His Word to you, if you've kept your word to God. See? If you truly believe it, there's nothing can make you doubt it. Time, space, nothing else can make you doubt it. You believe it. Do you believe it? [Congregation says, "Yes! Amen!"--Ed.]

GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY.OF.HEALING_  CHICAGO.IL  MONDAY_  54-0719A

Our dear, loving, heavenly Father, we approach Thee today, humbly in the Name of Thy dear Son the Lord Jesus Christ. And we thank Thee that He was ever mindful of us, to include us back there before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blame in His Presence at that day. Then where could be brag? Nothing we've done, nothing we can do, but by grace are we saved through faith. For before the foundation of the world He chose us in Christ Jesus. And now, He's given us the Holy Spirit, a Seal until the day of our redemption when we shall be presented to the Father, faultless, standing washed in His Blood.

Psa 8:6  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
