<TITLE>06. Par 60-71</TITLE>L-60 Oh, I can see Him raised up, like that. They're just about to make the last step. I can see Him reach over there and say, "Come here," to a big thunderhead hanging back yonder. Oh, my. It obeyed Him.
I can see Him, to hear Him say, "East wind, north, west, and south, come here and carry this thunderhead. I'm going to drive you like horses. I'm going to set on this thunderhead, this morning, like a chariot. I'm going down to Babylon, Myself." Hallelujah.
I can see him reach up and get a hold of a zigzag lightning and crack it across the skies, like that; just as they make their last step, walking in God's provided way. And about the time they hit in there, He passed by the Sea of Life and picked up a palm, and He was standing down there fanning the breeze off of them. Hallelujah. He's always there when men will walk God's provided way. Yes, sir.

L-63 One time there was an old "quack" preacher, an old holiness preacher back yonder, a long time ago, by the name of Noah. He said, "You know, it's going to rain, going to come a storm."
I can hear the people go around and say, "Say, do you hear that old holy-roller up there? He said, 'It's going to rain.' Why, it never rained upon the earth. And it's going to rain? How, where'd that water come from? Well, let's go get the science out and find out if there's any water up there. Why, no, there's no water up there. What's the matter? That old preacher is off at his head."
But God said so. God said, "Prepare an ark, Noah, for the saving of your household, for the saving of the people." And Noah just had sense enough to do it. That's all. He come and prepared the ark.

L-66 And one day, I hear some of them down on the corner, talking, down at the business corner. Some of them say, "Hey, what about that rain story up there, that old "quack" preacher talking about it's going to rain up there? Did you ever hear of such a thing? And he thinks he's in God's provided way." He was. Amen.
The first thing you know, there come a thundering and a lightning. I can see the old, big, old mammy camel out there, look up and say, "Papa Camel, do you hear what that was? That was thunder. That's what Noah said. Let's get to the ark." Down across the hill they went. And here come papa horse and mama horse, and all the rest of the pairs, right into the ark, one by one. God closed the door, sent the rain. Noah was in God's provided way.
Some of them got on logs, said, "I will float through." But I will tell you, when the storms begin to rage, the ark went up. Hallelujah. Why, they were in God's provided way. God will always bless people that'll walk in the way that's provided. He never provided a log. He never provided this. He provided an ark.

L-69 And today, my brother and sister, there is a way provided for men and women, that's through Jesus Christ the Son of God, Who died yonder at Calvary, and through His Blood we have remission of sins, and can receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, as approval of God, that He's accepted us into His Son, Christ Jesus, safely secure. Hallelujah.

L-70 Going to call me holy-roller, anyhow, so you might as well get started now. All right. I feel pretty good. All right.

L-71 Do you believe that? That is God's way and the only way. It ain't the Methodist way, ain't the Baptist way, ain't the Presbyterian, ain't the Pentecost. It's Christ's way. Christ is God's provided Way. He's God's provided Sacrifice. He's Jehovah-Rapha. He's Jehovah-Jireh. He's Jehovah-Manasses.
When Abraham offered up Isaac, he called the place there Jehovah-Jireh, "the Lord will provide Himself a sacrifice." And there it is, the Son of God. Amen. God always makes a way of escape. Yes, sir.
