<TITLE>09. Par 33-38</TITLE>L-33 Here some time ago, they said that a--a the Bible was wrong when it said man thinketh with his heart, said there's no mental faculty's in the heart to think with. But they come to find out that God was right. Way down in the human heart, there's a little compartment, a little cell, a little place smaller than a cell, that even blood don't even dwell in. It's not in the animal heart; it's only in the human heart; and they say it's the occupation of the soul. So after all God lives in the heart, and man thinketh from his heart, not from his mind. He reasons here, but he believes from here.

L-34 So if you just only got a mental conception of the Bible, if you say, "Well, I--I believe it because I read it. God's got to reveal it to you by your heart. No man can call Jesus the Christ, only by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit deals in the heart. So if a man really believes it from his heart, he's not afraid to put it to a test. But if you're just mentally, you'll reason it out, say, "Well, I couldn't do that. They might do it; this one might've done it. she might a got well, but I don't know about myself." But if you've really based your faith on God's eternal Word and it's down in your heart, all devils out of torment can't upset you. No, sir, you've got to stay there.

L-35 I know what I speak of, because I've seen it, and I've put it to the test myself, and I know that it's true. Why would I stand here on the platform at night and challenge an audience of many thousands. Stood in Bombay, India, five hundred thousand people and challenged them, seventeen different religions to come to the platform and show me one visible sign of a supernatural being. And stood right in the midst of atheist and unbelievers and witch doctors and everything else, standing out there by the dozens, trying to throw a spell on me. And challenged a blind man, (Hallelujah), and God gave his sight right there and turned the whole thing around. Why, God said He'd do it; that's all. Only thing you do... God said so.
That's good enough for me, if He told me He'd be with me and help me in these things, He will do it. Amen. He has done it, eight years, nine years has passed in the ministry and He's still doing it and He will continue to do it because He's God and He cannot lie. God's Word is right every time. If you'll only look and see what the Word says...

L-36 What if Pharaoh would've looked into the Word of God? He would've changed his attitudes toward Moses and the rest of--of the Israelites. If he'd have looked in and see where God promised by His Word He was going to bring the children out of Egypt, he would've done it; he would've changed his attitude towards the people.
But he--he was all so busy; he went to church, sure, a very religious man. And he went to church, and he was a, what you call, a mental believer, a psychic believer, or whatever you want to call it. He had a knowledge of what he was doing in the mental way. But to have a real revelation that God was going keep that Word, if he'd have had that, he wouldn't have acted toward Moses the way he did.

L-37 But Moses with his foot on the throne, a son of Pharaoh, was to become the ruler, and he would be the chief captain over the biggest military nation in the world, that had the world at their feet. Egypt was the--was the commercial nation of all the world at that time. And Moses with his foot on the throne, a young man, forty years old, and could've went right on into, but he chose rather, because why, he looked at the Word of God and he seen God made the promise.

L-38 And Moses' faith did not rest upon what he could do with the biggest army in the world. It didn't rest on what he could do setting on Pharaoh's throne as a Pharaoh. His faith rested upon what THUS SAITH THE LORD said. What did he have to do? If he'd have chose to set on Pharaoh's throne, there'd have been little maidens come by and given him wine and everything, and they'd have brought him food and everything.
