PART #3 MANY SIGNS AND WONDERS WERE WROUGHT AMONG THE PEOPLE – CHAPTER 68 – “SIGNS AND WONDERS” BOOK - SERMON BY MRS. M. B. WOODWORTH-ETTER, AT MONTWAIT. “We must get on the full armor and rush into the battle. “Press the battle to the gates.” Vain is the help of man. There is no shelter except under the blood of Jesus and at His side. It is the only place on earth to which we can flee. We learn there the way of righteousness, and we know what awaits the sinner if he does not accept this shelter. In the Old Testament, we read of God’s workings among His people. When someone was sent with a message, it often seemed very foolish, humanly speaking. What was the outcome? God will always show Himself and put His seal upon His work. When the message was delivered, He came forth with the supernatural, with the sign of His invisible presence. He manifested His presence in miraculous ways. That put His fear upon the heathen. They said there is no God like the Hebrews, because of His wonderful works. He was a God to be feared. In the New Testament, signs and wonders were done before the people. Wherever Jesus went the people followed Him. God was with Him. He said, “I do not these things of myself. The Father, He doeth the works.” The Apostles said the same: “By the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus doeth the works.” Not I, but Christ. It is the same today. In the signs and wonders today, it is not I, but Christ. He dwells in these bodies, and the work is done by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit. “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?” Jesus Christ dwells in us. We are God’s powerhouse. It was by the hands of the Apostles, not of angels, that God did His mighty works; and people believed when the signs followed. Jesus commanded the unclean spirit to come out, and they had to come; the power of the Holy Spirit went through the apostles’ hands and that is just the way God works today. The apostles were not afraid of persecution, the sword, or anything else. They faced death in any form rather than disgrace the cause of Christ by being cowards. It is a mighty God we serve, and today, Jesus Christ who ascended into heaven is here by my side. He will lead His host on to victory. Let us press the battle to the gates.”
