<TITLE>12. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 When you settle it in your heart that God's healed you, sister; you, little boy; you, brother; any of you, settle it in your heart and believe. Take God at His Word and start testifying about it. Give it plenty of water; fertilize it. Watch what takes place. The Word of God will produce just exactly what It says.
If that's not the inspired Word of God, I wouldn't be standing here. I wouldn't believe in it. But I know It's the truth. Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall not pass away. "I the Lord have planted it; I'll water it day and night 'less some should pluck it from My hand."
There you are, God in His Word. God speaks anything, He means it. God says it. Then there'll be so many things and such things, and it was. God said, "Let there be light." Light sprang from somewhere from the Creator. God said, "Let there be this," and it was this. "Let it be that," and it was that. What God said is seeds. God's in His Word. You believe it?

L-45 He said, "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until you're endued with power from on high. I'm going to send you the promise of the Father." Yes. That was God's Word.
Christ was the Word. Oh, in the beginning was the Word; the Word was with God; and the Word was God; and the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us.
You say, "Well, God said the commandments, and God said this." Everything that Christ said was the Word of God: Father in the Son, speaking through Him. "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until you're endued with power from on high."
My, God's in His Word, manifest Hisself.

L-46 He told a man, "Go wash in the Pool of Siloam (Sent.) And the man washed in the pool and obeyed the Word, come back clean. God's in His Word. You believe that? God is in His universe. God is in His Word. God will confirm His Word.
Up there on the day of Pentecost, when they were all gathered in one place, afraid, cowards, setting in behind the walls, walled in a little room, but they had a commandment not to leave Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. There they are, a hundred and twenty gathered in the upper room, fastened the doors, pulled down the windows, if there was any.
Then all of a sudden there came a sound from heaven like of a little rushing mighty wind. And It filled all the house where they were setting. Out into the streets they went. They didn't care about their human prestige. There was all the aristocrats from all over the country gathered there at the day of Pentecost. They went into the streets staggering, swinging their arms, and acting like a bunch of maniacs. Say that's wrong and you deny the Bible. The Bible said they were drunk.

L-47 And listen, women, you who think because you got your name on the church, it's all right. The virgin Mary was with them, acting like a drunk woman. And if God would not permit the mother of God to come into heaven without receiving the Holy Ghost, how are you going to go in anything less than that? Is that right? You'll pay the way with the Lord's despised few.
They said, "Why, these men are full of new wine."
There, the women and all of them... Did you ever see a man drunk? Everything's all right with him, staggering, butting against things. "That's all right." See? Drunk. Said, "Be not us drunk upon strong drink, biteth like an adder, stingeth like a serpent. But be drunk upon the Spirit," drunk. So in drunk with the love of God till you can forget all about the past, only know what God is doing now. Live for today. God in His Word... Yes, sir.
