<TITLE>09. Par 32-36</TITLE>L-32 But nevertheless, Lord, at Thy Word, I'll let down the net. I don't know how You're going to take my soul from here when the wheels of mortal life stand still, but at Thy Word, Lord, here I'm coming into dark eternity, trusting you...
"I don't know, Lord, how that through a prayer of somebody, that You'll heal me. But at Thy Word, Lord."
You say, "That's in His Word?"
"These signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name they shall cast out devils. (Is that right?), speak with new tongues, take up serpents, drink deadly things; and if they laid their hands on the sick, they shall recover."
"At Thy Word, Lord, here I come. I don't know how it's going to happen, but here I am." Don't try to figure out God, take Him at His Word.

L-33 There Peter up all the night and the boat tossed about. And the first thing you know, he seen Jesus coming. He said, "Lord, if it be..." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Didn't know what he was saying... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] But ye shall receive. "Come." "Lord, I know it's probably forty fathoms deep here. I don't know how I'm going to walk. I know it's just as impossible for me walk on this water as it is on that air. I am not trying to figure out the chemical first. I'm not trying to figure out whether there's a board under there for me to walk on, if You told me to walk, at Thy Word, Lord, here I come." That's right.

L-34 If he could take Him at His Word, what about you tonight, after nineteen hundred years of tests... Hallelujah. Why, brother... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Word... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... to figure it out... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... "I'm taking You..." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Some old boys one time that took Him at His Word, wasn't afraid. There was some Hebrew children down in--in Babylon. Daniel purposed in his heart he wouldn't defile himself with the king's meat: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, also.
And there come a decree, that ever who would not bow down to a certain image, would be put in a furnace het seven times hotter than it ever was het. All right. Now, there come the test.

L-35 After you're prayed for [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] tomorrow, the next day's going to come the test. Don't you worry. You... Everybody in here that ever received the Holy Ghost, a few days afterwards, come the test. Is that right? When you're healed, that demon in there, the body of it begins to die out. The test is coming. Satan's going to try to return back. When the unclean spirit's gone out of a man, he walketh in dry places. He returns back, brings seven other devils worse than he was. Is that right?
Notice. Let the house be garnished, and swept, and ready at that hour... Here it is, get it. He returned back. But he found the house garnished and swept. Then there the Holy Spirit in there to keep him away at that hour.

L-36 Now, these Hebrew children, I can notice them. As they were praying, they didn't pay any attention to the king; they didn't fear his command. They wanted to know what THUS SAITH THE LORD. And they turned their faces... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... prayed just the same.
Notice, closely now. All right. The decree was made. Then if the king put his seal upon there, he must keep it. He's going to burn these three Hebrews up. I can hear Belteshazzar, or--or Nebuchadnezzar, rather, say, "We will teach these holy-rollers what to do around here. We will show them who's boss around here."
And don't you worry, but what that time's coming again. That's right. Right at the door... Oh, my. You're living in the shadows now.
