“And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?” [Matthew 11:3]

“And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” [Exodus 20:18-19]

“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.” [Hebrews 11:4]

“God only uses man, to work with. He doesn't use organizations. He doesn't use machinery. He could have done it. But, He chose a man. That's right. He could chose the stars, the wind, or anything, to preach the Gospel. But, He chose man. He does not change Himself. He always the same. He chose Blood for salvation. Education or nothing else will ever take Its place. Blood is God's appropriate way for salvation. That's true. And now, I want you to notice, He can't change.” [63-0127 An Absolute, Phoenix AZ]

“And a man is just a man until he's fully submitted to God, and then Deity dwells in that man, the Holy Spirit. Not the man, but God in the man does the work. So Jesus then, when He came, He was a Man born of a virgin birth. His mother was Mary; His Father was Jehovah God. You believe that? And then in that body God dwelled. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Jesus said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; It's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the work." And that was God speaking through mortal lips, that could raise the dead, still the waters, and so forth. Then when He ascended on high, He gave gifts to men. One man received a great gift of healing, so the people that laid in his shadow and were healed. Not the man, but their faith in God that was in the man. Do you understand?” [50-0300 Gifts And Callings.Are Without Repentance, Carlsbad NM]

“So he said, "You go, and ask John, or ask Him if we should look for another. Was my... Has my faith, my confidence and my--my... I saw that Messiahic sign over Him. And--and have I been wrong? Have--have I been mixed up? And now, has something went wrong?" Now, when these disciples came to Jesus with this great prophet's message, Jesus never said to them, "Now, I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll send you back some literature to give to John, 'How To Be Happy In Jail.'" No. He--He never said that. He didn't--He didn't say, "I'll--I--I'll give you a book on patience. And you tell John how to be patient while he's in jail. It's a--it's a good thing. He's in jail, and I hate to see him in jail, but I'll tell him how--how to do it, well, just to be happy."” [61-0425E The Forgotten Beatitude, Chicago IL]

“John had just paid the poorest tribute he could to Jesus. Know it had to come that way; asked Him after he introduced Him and seen that Sign above Him, he said, "This is the Messiah," then he comes and asks, "Are you He, or do we look for another one?" But, look, Jesus knowing that, He turned and give him a tribute, said, "What did you go to see, a reed shaken with the wind?" Said, "There's never been a man borned of a woman as great as John, till this day." That's right! What a compliment to pay the man! But, you see, there it was, that prophecy had been fulfilled right before their face, with a forerunner coming, exactly what Malachi said. Now, that's Malachi 3, not Malachi 4. John the Baptist was Malachi 3, Jesus said so. When they asked Him, said, "Why does the scribes say..." Said, "He's already come. They did what they said." But, remember, Malachi 4, immediately after the Malachi 4 prophet, the fourth coming of John the Baptist in... or the... of Elijah. The fifth coming will be the Revelation 2, the witnesses, when he comes for the remnant of the Jews. But God has used that same Spirit five times: grace, J-e-s-u-s, it's all been Jesus all the time; f-a-i-t-h, g-r-a-c e, and so forth. You see? The number five is a grace number and He used it. Won't use just three, won't use just two, three, four. It's five times He uses it.” [65-1206 Modern Events Are Made Clear By Prophecy, San Bernardino CA]

“John was a little bit confused when he was throwed into prison, and he--he got down there... And he had preached that there was "Coming in the Messiah, Whose fan was in His hand; He would thoroughly purge His floor, and burn the chaff with unquenchable fire, and gather the wheat into the garner." The Spirit of God bringing forth, gulching out of him like a--like a fountain. And then when he seen Jesus come on the scene, the little, meek, lowly sort of a Fellow being pushed around, run here, for His life, and over there. Why, they didn't... John couldn't understand it, so he sent some of his disciples to find out from Jesus if He really was the One. What a dishonor to Jesus! After that prophet standing there in the water, with the Word of God, said, "I knew Him, because I seen the--the Holy Spirit, like a dove, God descending from Heaven like a dove and going into Him, and I heard a Voice from Heaven, saying, 'This is My beloved Son,'" and then John says, "Go, ask Him if really He was the One, or--or--or, 'Do we look for another?'"” [65-0120 Lean Not Unto Thy Own Understanding, Phoenix AZ]

“And you cannot satisfy that by joining church. You've got to find the Person, God Himself, which is the Word and--and interpretation of Hisself today, the promises that He made today. The people that He was going to have in this day, "the Church without spot or wrinkle," don't mean a denomination; it means the persons, the individuals without spot or wrinkle. "Be two in the bed, I'll take one and leave one; two in the field, I'll take one and leave one." But when God, that holy thirst to be like Him, and then you see that His Word is in you, vindicating Itself, that you are God's servant. Whatever God says, you just toe right up to it, then you're coming through the right process then to satisfy that holy thirst that's in you.” [65-0919 Thirst, Tucson AZ]

“Old John, his eyes got--prophet John was kindly filmed over. He was like--he had the spirit of Elijah. And Elijah had a breakdown when he was under the juniper tree. John had a breakdown in the prison. And he was a high pitched prophet. Them nerves on edge. And then his eagle eye filmed over. He said, "Go see if I been wrong. Ask Him if He is One--or the One? Or do we look for another?" Jesus never sent him any book now, "Here's How To Have Patience While You're In Jail" or so forth. What did He say? What did He tell him? He said, "Just stay and watch this afternoon's meeting then go show John." The lame walk, the blind see, the... John had preached a Gospel that a Messiah was coming that would have--fan in His hand. And would thoroughly purge the floor. Sure, burn the chaff with unquenchable fire. But when He come, He was a little meek fellow. Meek and lowly. Joh... It did--didn't meet up to what John thought it ought to be. But He said, "You go tell John I'm running right on schedule. It's all right. Everything's all right."” [61-0428 Getting In The Spirit, Chicago IL]
