<TITLE>24. Par 232-241</TITLE>L-232 There you are. Hallelujah. O God. "Upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against It." Oh, my. When the world is no more, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away." Why? He was expressing, in Word the thought of Almighty God. And when we by faith can accept that Word, it's got to become material. Oh, how it thrills my heart to think, "Thy Word, forever, in heaven, Lord, is confirmed." What God's thoughts is, He expresses them in Words, and here is the living Word of God.
Jesus said, "He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation; but has passed from death unto Life." Hallelujah!

L-234 Not "he that goes to church." Not "he that puts his name on the book." Not "he that professes." Not "he that shouts." Not "he that heals the sick." Not "he that opens the blinded eyes." Not "he that speaketh with tongues." Not "he that prophesies." "But he that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life, and shall never come into condemnation, but has already passed from death unto Life." Oh, brother, let that faith anchor one time in that heart, till them Words will be true before God. Then heavens and earth will shake and go away, but that eternal Word, that thought within your heart, that's expressed by God, can no more fail than Isaiah's words could fail.
There has been thousands looking at them miracles was done, and yet could not believe, because Isaiah had expressed it and said, "They will not believe It."

L-237 God's Word is eternal. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." God, in the beginning back there when He seen the world, He seen you and I here this morning. He seen my baby sitting back yonder. He seen every hungry person in India. He seen every preacher in the pulpit. He seen every hypocrite walking. He seen the whole thing. The infinite mind of God foresaw it.
And He said, "Now, to redeem that fallen race, I will send forth My Son, Christ Jesus." There was the Word. In the beginning, before it was a Word, it was a thought. Before, it was a thought; it was expressed in a word; and the Word become material and dwelt among us. Hallelujah. Ten million years, maybe, before the world was ever formed, God's thought seen His body tabernacled in flesh to take the sting out of death. Whew!

L-239 How eternal is the Word of God. Oh, times will change; years will come and go; aeons of time will pass away; but God's Word will remain forever. There it is.
"O Lord, let me hide Your Word in my heart, that I sin not against You. Let me meditate it day and night. Let me write Your commandments upon my bedpost. And let them always be--be before me. And, Lord, that I sin not in my heart against You. But let me walk in there." "There is therefore now no condemnation," Romans 8:1. Hallelujah. "There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, that walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Amen.

L-241 God's expressed thoughts into the human heart, moves right on, as the immortal God leads His subjects from place to place. And the Bible said, "The footsteps of the righteous man is ordered of the Lord." Oh, my. How new is the world? How long is Eternity? When we think of the Word of God expressed through the lips of a mortal being, yet so submissive to the Word of God...
He said, "Isaiah spoke of it. And they could not do it, because Isaiah had said it under inspiration."
