“Almighty God, when Israel was cornered there and the Red Sea before them, the mountains, Pharaoh's army pushing, but You looked down through that Pillar of Fire with angry eyes, said one of the poets, and the Red Sea got scared and moved back, because Israel was on the homeward to the promised land. And God, tonight this poor woman laying there, very low near unto death. She's done all that she can do. The doctors, Your servants, has done all they can do. Everybody's done all they can do. And now, Thou art Jehovah-jireh, the Lord's provided Sacrifice, this crucial moment.” [An Ensign, Connersville, IN 53-0606]
“Almighty God, Jehovah, Who made the heavens and earth and appeared in the way. And over the seas has come these people. Let Thy Presence, Lord, be great upon these people and may they receive now of Thy blessings, as Thy humble servant lays hands in obedience to the commandments of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I send them to their homelands with the desire of their heart. Amen. You shall have what you have asked for. God bless you as you go. God bless you.” [Sirs, Be Of A Good Cheer, Chicago, IL 54-0721]
“Do you believe Jesus was God, He was Emmanuel, God was in Him? God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. The Bible said so. And He was the great Jehovah God, anointed One here on earth: God with us.” [How The Angel Came To Me, Owensboro, KY 53-1107]
“For the glory of God, for the Coming of the Lord Jesus, for the Holy Ghost, for the know-so, for the living Presence of the living God! Jesus said, in Saint Mark there, He said, "In that day the Son of man will be revealed." Now, remember, not Son of God. He came in three sons' names: Son of man, Son of God, Son of David. When He was on earth, He come as Son of man, He was a prophet. Son of man is a prophet. Jehovah Himself called the prophets, Jeremiah and them, "Son of man, what seest thou?" Jesus come, because He had to come according to the Scripture, as Son of man. Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet, likened unto me." And He had to be a prophet, Son of man. But after His death, burial, and resurrection, now He has been Son of God, the supernatural, the Holy Ghost.” [God's Provided Place Of Worship, Los Angeles, CA 65-0425]
“God, in human flesh, recognized what was going on behind Him, the same One that--that knowed where Philip found Nathanael. The same One that's here amongst us tonight, that knows everything about you, He's still God. God had a need to talk to Abraham like a man, so He made Himself a body and stepped into it. And that same God of ours has every bit of calcium that's ever in your withered-up body. Hallelujah. Only thing He has to do is at the time of the coming of His Son, the Lord Jesus, is just speak, and every man that ever lived and believed in Him will come back to life again. He's Jehovah God, the Creator. Quit belittling Him; make Him big. That's what He is, He's big, powerful.” [Jehovah-Jireh, San Fernando, CA 55-1117]
“Great Jehovah God, Who made the heavens and earth, all things in them is. I do not know how bad this woman is, her ears are, but Thou art here and can heal her. I pray that You'll grant it. And make Thy Spirit to come upon her now and make her well. I now ask that this devil that binds her in the form of--of deafness, "Come out of the woman. I charge thee by the Lord Jesus Christ to leave her." [This Great Warrior David, Chicago, IL 55-0118]
“He was Jehovah in flesh. His own human Name, that was the redemption Name, 'cause no other name is given under heaven that a man could be saved, only through that human redemption Name, the Lord Jesus Christ. That's right. He was God; He is God; He'll forever be God (That's exactly right.), the Lord Jesus Christ." [Questions And Answers On Hebrews, Jeffersonville, IN 57-1002]
“He was more than a teacher, yet He was a teacher. He was more than a prophet, yet He was a prophet. He was God. God was in Christ. He was the Emmanuel, Jehovah anointed, walking here on earth, living among men. I Timothy 3:16: "Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: for God was manifested in the flesh, seen of angels, preached on in the world, believed on in the world, received up into glory": God, Himself. So now, Jesus was God's manifestation of His own Being on earth, unfolding Himself into a human being to take away sin and make a way for sickness to be healed. And if there is no Divine healing, there is no resurrection of the dead. It's the earnest of your resurrection. Amen. I quit preaching quick tonight; you noticed it. The Angel of the Lord is here. That's right.” [Blind Bartimaeus, Louisville, KY 54-0402
“How could we ever take Jehovah-jireh out of the Bible, or Jehovah-rapha, the Healer, and accept Jehovah-jireh, the Lord's provided sacrifice? And in all these compound names, they were every one met in Jesus Christ. He was Jehovah-jireh, the provided Sacrifice, He was Jehovah-rapha, the Healer, He was Jehovah, the Banner, Jehovah, the Buckler, Jehovah, the Peace, Jehovah, the Shepherd. All those compound redemptive names was applied to the Lord Jesus. You couldn't apply one and take the other one away. And if they was not applied, He was not Jesus, the Son of God. There you are. They're inseparable, you can't--you can't separate God's compound names. And if one of them was applied to Jesus, all of them was applied to Jesus. So if He's God's provided Sacrifice for sin, He's God's provided Atonement for healing, the same yesterday, today, and forever.” [Jehovah-Jireh, San Fernando, CA 55-1117]
“Lord God, great Jehovah, make Thyself known tonight. We believe Thee to be the infallible God, the great Elohim, the great Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rapha, the Almighty, the Alpha, the Omega. Thou art not dead. How could God die? The tabernacle that He lived in died, but not God. He raised up that tabernacle, the body of our blessed Lord that gave the promise, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me, for I'll be with you to the end of the world," Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” [Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever, Harrisonburg, VA 58-0312]
“May the Lord Jesus, the holy Son of God, Who I believe with all my heart to be the Jehovah made manifest in flesh... I believe Him to be the God Emmanuel that come down from glory and formed Himself in a body of flesh called the Son of God, walked on the earth among men. He lived like a man. But He made Hisself a little lower than the Angels in order to take death upon Himself, that He might die the death of a sinner for all men, that all men who would believe would come to Him and be saved. May He, Who is the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley, and the Morning Star, Who is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, may He come as I chant this to Him. And may He show to His servant things that should be, that the world might know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and every person in Him is anchored to God. This I chant to God, the holy God of heaven, the Creator of heavens and earth in the Name of His Son, Christ Jesus, for God's glory alone and the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.” [The Infallibility Of God's Spoken Word, Chicago, IL 56-0404]
“Merciful God, Jehovah, the Almighty that thundered on Mount Sinai; and the people screamed, "Let Moses speak, and not God, lest we die." You said, Great Jehovah, "I'll raise them up a Prophet. I'll not speak to them no more like this." But You promised what You would do, and You did it; You raised us up the Lord Jesus. He is the Word. You said He was. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us."” [The Feast Of The Trumpets, Jeffersonville, IN 64-0719M]
“Paul had been in the Presence of God; he'd seen the Pillar of Fire. He seen that Jesus that was once the Pillar of Fire, had been made flesh and dwelt amongst us, and returned back to a Pillar of Fire, and commissioned him to his ministry. Hallelujah. Nothing's going to shake him. It was becoming to him, when they took handkerchiefs off his body and sent to the sick. It was becoming to him, because he knowed he was the anointed apostle. He saw the visions of God, and God appeared before him and spoke, and seen it happen just exactly. Why, it was becoming to Paul, that when he try to help the people, fulfill the Word that he was commissioned. He was the Light of the day. He was the Light to the Gentiles. He knew it; God commissioned him to be. He was the Light in that day. So He was commissioned to Paul.” [It Becometh Us To Fulfil All Righteousness, Jeffersonville, IN 61-1001M]
“That is the revelation: Jesus Christ is God. The Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New. No matter how hard you try, you can't prove there are THREE Gods. But it also takes a revelation by the Holy Spirit to make you understand the truth that He is One. It takes a revelation to see that the Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New. Satan crept into the church and blinded the people to this truth. And when they were blinded to it, it wasn't long until the Church of Rome stopped baptizing in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” [An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages]
“The power of God is known by a spiritual revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ, not by some works, some other thing, or something another. It's God, Himself, revealing to you His Person, Christ Jesus, in your heart. That's where it's at.” [I Will Restore, Saith The Lord, New York, NY 54-0829]
“This is not a--a some church theology; it's the Scriptures that we're speaking: that our Lord Jesus Christ came to earth and was Jehovah God inveiled in flesh in order to take away sin and sickness from the earth. God was in Christ reconcile the world to Himself. He said, "A... I came from God; I go to God. A little while and the world will see Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." Now, He promised that. He promised His disciples the things that He did, the disciples would do also to the end of the world, even more things than He did.” [Do You Now Believe? Chicago, IL 54-0725]
