<TITLE>23. Par 225-230</TITLE>L-225 Then let that be pure. Let your thoughts run pure, and your expressions pure. Live pure and be pure. Now, out of your heart proceedeth evil thinking, adultery, and all these different things; if that comes out of your heart, that's what's in your heart. But if out of your heart comes righteous, peace, love, joy, oh, my, then it's coming from a resource here that's made up of that. See what I mean? It's made up of the Spirit of God here that's expressed Itself through the words, and what you say then will come to pass.

L-226 I will give you a little insight of something, how infallible God's Word is. Watch what you're saying. When God speaks anything, it has to be; I don't care how much different it looks. I've seen things, like in this very itinerary just now. I seen God do something, friends, that I thought was impossible for it to ever happen, but it happened. After I done seen the mistake of something that I made, was a mistake; was supposed to have done something. God told me go do it; got it wrote here in my pocket. And instead of doing that, I forgot about it, and turned around and done something else. And the grace of God whirled it right back and took it through, anyhow. Amen. It's got to happen.

L-227 Well, I believe, here in Saint John, I was just reading the other day, somewhere here, the same thing. About, let's see, that's the 12th. Yeah, here it is. Look, Saint John 12, and the 37th verse. Listen, 36, we begin.
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and--and did hide himself from them.
Now, listen. Here it is. Now, watch this, real close. I got it marked here. I was reading it in... over in Bombay.
But though he--he had done so many miracles before them, (see?) yet they believed not on him:

L-229 No matter what had done, He performed miracles. Look at this nation; look at this people; look what signs and wonders has happened right here in this tabernacle. Look what things has been said, and what's been proved to be of God. Look. See? Proved of God, and, yet, the people in the city will laugh at It, make fun of It, say it's mental telepathy or something another. They don't understand. Listen here.
... though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which... spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Therefore they could not believe, because... Isaiah said this,

L-230 When God speaks anything, it's got to happen; for it's His thought first, then His Word is expressed. Then it's nothing... No matter what comes or goes, it's got to happen. Oh, can you see the infallibility of the Word? Oh, my.
He hath blinded their eyes, he has hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted and I should heal them.
Look. God, through His prophet, Isaiah, a man who had his ups-and-downs like we do, had his mistakes like we do, but God got that man so yielded, by being a prophet, that his words... God's thoughts (Hallelujah!), God's thoughts expressed through those mortal lips of Isaiah; a man with sin and things I have, with his ups-and-downs like I have, and like you have; but a yielded vessel to God, expressed the thought, God's thought through word. And no matter what they done, Isaiah's words had to be fulfilled, for it was God's thought expressed through Isaiah.
