<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 I just want to set down under that evergreen tree and just relax a few thousand years, just to look it all over. Won't that be wonderful? That may sound mythical, but it may not be just that way. But anyhow, by God's grace, I want to be there. Yes, I want to be there.
And I believe that by His grace, unmerited grace, that I have of my own--that's none of my own, that He gave me, by no merits that I had to present, I'll be there. "For those that He has called, He has chosen. And those that He has--that He... Those who He called, He justified. And those who He justified, He hath glorified (already). And when this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting." Amen.
Right in the presence of His beings tonight, in His sight we are already glorified: "Those who He justified, He hath (past tense) glorified." And what makes you a Christian, is because--and long for that perfection, is because the perfection's laying right out there, that other glorified body. When this one is moved out of, you move into that one.
Isn't that marvelous? What are we scared about then? We just believe, and then the Master of all it said, "All things work together for good to them that love God." Nothing can harm us. Just as peaceful as little children playing around. Just... We got a heavenly Father Who watches over us. And whatever He sees that we have need of, He just presents it to us.

L-5 I used to have to shift for myself. But since I found Him to be my Father, why, He--He does it for me. I found out this in my twenty-one years of experience of preaching the Gospel: any job that's too big for my Lord to attack, what's the use of me trying it? I just let Him have it, so... See? Just commit it to Him. He promised to take care of me. When opposition comes, I just commit it to Him. 'Cause He said He would do it for me. And if He can't do it, I know there's no need of us trying it. So we just live peacefully and go on. He brings it out all right. No need of getting all fretted up and stewing about it. Why, He's just going to make it all right. Amen.
I love Him for that, don't you? Let's read some out of His precious Word, so I won't be late in the service tonight. The reason I read from His Word each time, is because that I know... To this audience, the purchase of His Blood, if I read one sentence out of His Word here, if you don't get no more than that, you'll be blessed by coming here.

L-6 And what I read here is His Word. It will never change; It'll never pass away. It's eternally right. Mine may fail, 'cause I'm just a man, speak like any other man, make mistakes and everything. But when He speaks, mark His Words; it's the truth. See?
And this is His Word. Primarily this is--this is the Foundation. And every church, every borned-again person is built upon this Foundation, Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone. And He's the Gate, the Door of entrance to all eternal blessings. He is the Gate, the Door to the sheepfold.
And this Bible is His Word. And if a man, woman, or whoever, speaks anything to be truth that's contrary to the contents of this Bible, it's wrong. That's right. It's absolutely wrong. But if the man speaks, and it's backed up by this Bible, then it's truth. Every word of it's true.

L-7 And I have tried by God's help to make the ministry that the Lord Jesus... to present it to the people upon a solid basic foundation, God's Eternal Word. It's got to be here.
If I come and told you that--that God gave me power to go and make the blind to see and the deaf to hear, that would be contrary to His Word. See? If I told you that--that you'd touch the pole there and you'd get well, that's contrary to His Word. See?
But when I come preaching the Gospel, the Gospel is the good news that Jesus has come and has redeemed us, died in our stead, and is ascended up and setting at the right hand of the majesty of God, making intercessions on our confessions, that's the Gospel. See? He's making what? Intercessions on our confessions.
