<TITLE>14. Par 157-166</TITLE>L-157 I got a brother laying in the hospital tonight, that God showed me a year ago. And I guess there's two hundred witnesses right here, of the boy fine and healthy. But God sent a vision and said, "He's going. And no matter what comes to pass, he's going."
The doctor said, not long ago, "We can save him." But they didn't, and they won't.
I seen the Holy Spirit come, show the vision, and marked his grave, and said, "He's the next one." And that's the way it'll be. How many heard me say that, long, long, long time ago? Raise your hands. That's right, when the boy's big, stout, and healthy. He just must go. That's all. How? If I was a healer, I'd heal him. That's my own, my own brother.
But when God has said, God will keep His Word. And that's the reason I know what, THUS SAITH THE LORD. I'll die by It, for It's God's Word and He will keep It. He's provided a way, and I'm glad to accept It tonight, the Lord Jesus Christ. Aren't you? May His eternal blessings rest upon you.

L-161 And again I say, God's provided sacrifice tonight, the way of escape, is through Jesus Christ. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Then, Jesus Christ provided a Church for the unbelievers, that they could come in and see the manifestation of His resurrection, and know beyond a shadow of doubt that He rose from the dead. Jesus rose from the dead, making a provided way, for whosoever will might look and live. But if you refuse to look, how can you do anything but die? Jesus said, "If you don't believe that I am He, you'll die in your sin." That's true.

L-162 Friends, I've always tried to keep a balance of the road. You get way off on formalism, just as formal and ritualistic as they can be, people grab for that lot. Then if you don't watch, you'll get plumb off over on the other side, and be just as fanatic as you can be. But there's a middle of the road, where the true sound, sane Gospel is preached, and God moves in there, vindicating the truth. "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, but few there'll be that find it." All right

L-163 To you little group of people here tonight, seated here, may God's love overshadow you tonight. And especially the sick and needy, I pray that there will not be one of you but what will go home well. If I could do anything about it, I'd gladly do it; but I can't do it. The only thing that I can do is represent Him to you in a way of a Divine gift.
Now, if I speak the truth that God provided a Sacrifice, and that sacrifice, Jehovah-jireh, was Jesus Christ... And all of the seven compound, redemptive Names laid in Jesus Christ. Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord's provided Sacrifice." Jehovah-rapha, "the Lord that heals thy diseases." And Jehovah... "the banner." And--and all the other, seven compound Names, was all in Christ Jesus. And there's where all the types and the shadows of the Old Testament, all come and met in Jesus Christ. He paid the supreme price, ascended on high, and sent back the Holy Ghost tonight, which is God's provided Way of your escape.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... we had time to go in.

L-166 I can see the wise men packing up their camels, right quick. "Where you going, honey?" says the wife.
"I'm going to see the young King that's born, way in Palestine."
"Well, you didn't even take your compass."
He said, "I don't need any compass."
"How you going through the deserts, and valleys, and hills, without a compass?"
He pointed up to the Star, said, "I'm going God's provided way." The Star led him right straight to Jesus.
