<TITLE>08. Par 29-31</TITLE>L-29 Notice, Christ came and He was the dying Animal, for He was already in prefigure slain before the foundation of the world. You see it? God spoke it and said it would be so. So when God speaks, it's forever confirmed in heaven. The Word, the... And that's where you ought to have faith. If you believe this to be God's eternal unchangeable Word, then every precept that's been spoken in God's Word is a Seed. And everything that God has spoke of in the Word is already confirmed in glory. And it's been given to you to act upon. So don't be afraid to take any phase of God's eternal blessed Word and anchor it in your heart.
Now, it has to be in soil. Now, for instance, I took a grain of corn and put it in blue pumice stone, or something like that, it perhaps would not grow, because it's the wrong kind of soil. But if it goes into good fertile blacktop soil, it'll grow as sure as it's placed in there.
And when the Word (Here it is now.), when the Word of God falls into a heart full of faith, It just has to grow; It's got to take hold. That's the reason the woman standing there with both knees, calcium over like that from the deposits, and the breaking of the knees, where both was mashed, and the bones rotten, with tubercular, and the--also the flesh, she wasn't afraid to bow her knees. For what? The Word had fell in faith, springs up. Do you get it?

L-30 God, before the foundation of the world, said that Christ would be here, that He slayed, died the innocent for the guilty. And when God spoke it, it was already confirmed when God spoke it. Now, before it can be a word it has to be a thought, for a word is a thought expressed.
And then, if the--God in His mind perceived these things, then they were in His mind, then He spoke them, and they're as good as finished when God speaks, 'cause He's infallible, and He can do nothing else. Then God's attitude... If God saves sinners back there on the base of accepting the burnt offering, the sacrifice provided, He's got to do the same thing today, or He did wrong when He took the first man in by.
If God healed the sick back there upon the basis of the shed blood of an animal, upon the basis of--of the atonement, He's got to do the same today or He was wrong when He healed the first person. See, see? He can't change.

L-31 We grow; we mature; we find better things. We talk of better things. We wear better clothes, drive a better automobile. We're progressing. But God cannot progress in that way, because He was perfect to begin with. And perfection cannot progress any more; it's already perfection. Amen.
So He don't have to say, "Well, this is a different age; we got a better thought now." If it is, He can't be God. So if He is God, what He spoke back there, He has to stay with it, because He was perfect there and is perfect now. See? You see it? Then He can't progress; He can't... Well, I mean, He can't in--better things, make this a little--say, "This would be a little better."
You say, "What about the old lamb and this Lamb?" That was a type waiting for--and He said it was.
