“The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.” [John 12:21]
“Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” [John 14:19-20]
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” [John 15:5]
“God manifested the same in all ages, it's always been, He has hid Hisself in behind human flesh. It's God in you. "A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet ye shall see Me. I'll be with you." He is even in us; He will be, to the consummation, until He is revealed in the form coming from Heaven.” [64-0617 The Identified Christ Of All Ages, Topeka KS]
“Now these Greeks were not looking for lecturer, on Jesus Christ. They wasn't looking for pulpit clowns, as I said a few moments ago. They're not looking for that. They're not looking for entertainers. They wanted to see Him, the Person, Jesus Christ. They longed to see Him, because they had heard of Him. "And faith cometh by hearing, hearing the Word." And He is the Word. See, He is the Word. See? And they wanted to see Jesus. Now, they never said they wanted to hear Him; they had already heard. They wanted to see. That wasn't the question, "We would like to hear Jesus. Sirs, we would, we," they want, or, "hear Jesus." They wanted to see Jesus. That was their purpose of inquiring, was to see Him.” [63-1112 Sir We Would See Jesus, New York NY]
“Where do you see Jesus in David? When the Word was made manifest through him. How do you see Christ, God in Elijah, in that chariot going into Heaven, see Jesus in Elijah? Cause, the Word was vindicated. How do you see It in Moses? Jesus was in Moses. The Bible said so. See, that's right, He was the burning bush that was with Moses in the wilderness. How will people know Jesus Christ? When they, he, sees Him in you, when they see Jesus in you. For, He said, "The works that I do shall you do also. Greater than this shall you do, because I go to My Father." Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's how they, world knows.” [64-0119 Shalom, Phoenix AZ]
“And people come up to see Lazarus, and they came to see Jesus also. And now, I believe that would be the desire of every heart here, like those Greeks who came, they had heard of the fame of the Lord Jesus, so they wanted to see Him. "Sirs, we would see Jesus." Now, I wonder how many here tonight, would like to make that same statement and would want to see Jesus? I'd just like to see your hands go up, if you want to see Jesus. All of us wants to see Him: I want to see Him; you want to see Him; and that's the desire of the Christian world, is to see Him. That was the desire of the orthodox world, of the Jewish church when Jesus came; they wanted to see the Messiah; but they didn't believe Him when He was manifested. And I wonder, sometimes, if that just about isn't the way we are too. We long to see Jesus, but when He appears, we think it's something else; turn Him down.” [57-0104 Sirs We Would See Jesus, Cleveland TN]
“"And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us." And now the Word's made flesh in His Church, dwelling among us. His angels in His hand, minister. God is depending upon His Church. God is relying on us of this age to bring this Gospel Light to a dying, demon-bound, traditional world. God is laying the burden on me and you. Woe unto us if the heathen dies without knowing. Oh, they carried reading, writing, and arithmetic, and a few religious pamphlets, and they've made no more than a bunch of proselytes. I mean the Gospel! The Gospel is not the Word only. Paul said so. Paul said, "The Gospel didn't come to us through Word only, but that Word made manifest." When the Word, by the Holy Ghost, is... The Word is planted into the heart that's got the Holy Ghost and produces what the Word says It would. And the Word can discern the thoughts of the heart! Glory! Oh, my! Oh! A discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, the Word does.” [60-1204E The Patmos Vision, Jeffersonville IN]
“How many would like to see the Lord Jesus? See your hands. Certainly. How many believes that He raised from the dead? Well, how could we see Him then, if He's raised from the dead? How could we see Him? How did He say we could see Him? Now, said, "Yet a little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet you'll see Me (Is that right?), for I will be with you, in you, to the end of the world?" Then how do you see Jesus? In one another: "Ye are written epistles." Is that right? Christ is in us. Oh, isn't that wonderful? Oh, it--it's matchless; it's marvelous. It's beyond thought that Christ...” [56-0311E God Using His Gift, Shreveport LA]
“Oh, if we tonight could only catch that vision! The very Jehovah, that made the heavens and earth, is right in this little vessel of ours, while we're sailing life's solemn main. For, the Holy Ghost is Jehovah, in spirit form, in you. See? God, the Holy Spirit, is God Himself in you. Jesus said, "At that day you'll know that I am in the Father, the Father in Me, I in... and you in Me." Oh! Oh, my! Then God, all that God was, He poured into Jesus; and all that Jesus was, He poured into His Church, divided Hisself on the Day of Pentecost. That Pillar of Fire come down and busted Itself up, the Shekinah Glory, and put It in different ones. Tongues of Fire was seen upon each one; the Holy Spirit, God, identifying Himself in human beings. Amen.” [63-0804E Calling Jesus On The Scene, Chicago IL]
“Now, you that's got strength enough to yield a Sword, now that you've got understanding enough in God's Word to claim It to be your personal property, who can pick up the Word of God now in your hand, hold It out in the hand of faith, and say, "I take my side with the Lord. I'll be oneness with my God from this on. I'll yield this Sword of the Spirit in this Word, and I'll cut the devil 'till every promise that God promised me." If you believe that with all your heart, I ask you then sincerely with all my heart, in the Name of Jesus Christ, stand to your feet and accept it. Do you mean it? Are you sincere? Is the Word in your hand? Is your hand your faith? Raise your physical hand to God, say, "God, by this, by my uplifted hand I pledge all my life. I pledge my soul; I pledge my thinking; I pledge everything to the Word of God. Let the Holy Spirit take my faith now and give to me the thing. Cut every doubt away from me. And by faith I receive the promise that I asked for this moment...?..." If you believe it, say "Amen" now. [Congregation says, "Amen".--Ed.] Say, "Amen" again. Amen, and amen, and amen. Then if you mean that with all your heart, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I promise you what you asked for. Amen. You believe it with all your heart. God bless you.” [62-0211, Oneness, Branham Tabernacle. Jeffersonville IN]
