<TITLE>10. Par 85-91</TITLE>L-85 Now, oh, this may kind of root up, and pull up, and shove out, and take out, but let's look it right smack in the face and see what it looks like.
If necessary, we can go back and pick up the Abrahamic covenant that God made with him, and how that God swore by Himself. Anybody ever know where God ever swore by Himself? Let's turn now; that's Genesis the 22nd chapter, I believe, and about 16. Let's take a look at Genesis the 22nd chapter and the 16th verse, and we'll see here where God swore by Him--Himself. All right, I believe this is it now, if I'm not mistaken, right to the place, 22nd, 16. Yes. Look, 15th verse.
And the angel of the LORD called unto him Abraham out of the heaven the second time,
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thine only son:
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I'll multiply thee, thy seed shall be as the stars of the heaven, and as the sands upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gates of his enemies;

L-87 God swore it by Himself. Hallelujah. If that don't make a fellow feel like hollering, "Hallelujah," there's not--you're dead. Right.
Oh, God said, "Abraham, because you've did this, not what somebody else will do, but because you have did this. By faith you walked, and I've honor that thing there, not honor works any more; I'll not honor this. I'll honor faith. And because you did this without knowing what would be the outcome, I've saved you. I'll save your seed. I'll take an oath by Myself." Amen. "And your seed shall possess the gates of their enemy." Amen. That settles it to me. That's just... That--that's all that has to be done.

L-89 Here Paul picks it up over here again in the Hebrews, to refer back to it. Oh, they picked it up in the Galatians, in the Ephesians, and all through, referring to it, that our foundation is solid (Amen.), not some mythical built up something on some pagan superstition. But it's THUS SAITH THE LORD, by an oath. Amen. God taken an oath by Himself. Oh, my. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord. Yes.
When demons come, when powers come, when sickness come, when death itself stares you in the face, it just loses its place, just melts away like the snow at the sunshine, when we throw it in the Light of the Gospel there.

L-91 If you notice, people, sometimes you take... A lot of times, people writing all kinds of stuff and things, runs people from the Protestant church to the Catholic church, because the Catholics believes the Word's inspired. They believe it. They believe that Mark 16 is inspired. Absolutely. They say It's inspired. But, see, the devil worked in that, says, "The church is above the Word."
Well, then a Protestant comes around; he sees something he don't--little old something they don't--he don't agree with it. Well, he says, "This is not inspired. This is the wrong interpretation to the Word." Just trying to make It set (See?) to take hold, or fit some special theology of his. You see? That don't have nothing to do with It.
That's the Word of God. I believe every Word of It. There ain't... Not for me to cut this out, that out. It's for me to live up to Its qualifications, that's all, until Its requirements, rather, if I got to live up to That. For God has swore, and He said, "He that will add anything to It or take anything out of It, the same will be taken out of his part, of the Book of Life." That right? So we believe It.
If our foundation is firm and sure in Jesus Christ, then, brother, there's nothing can shake you. You're just... You're anchored. Amen. Oh, say. All right.
