<TITLE>10. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 But before it got ready to float, God said, "It's not all finished yet. Now, you go get some pitch and pour in it." And when that hot pitch poured into this real soft balsam, it cased over and it was as hard as steel. A log could bump against it and just bump it away.
And that's the way it is, when a little old weakly, uneducated, illiterate person comes to Jesus Christ, that's about what he is, a light piece of balsam wood. But God pours the Holy Ghost in there, and seals that man down, and all the devils out of hell couldn't bump him away. That's right. God did it. He makes a way.

L-39 Now, He had to make a way. If He promised Noah that there was going to be a way, He made a way of escape for Noah. He had to make an ark if He wanted to persevere the seed. God making a way...
When Daniel, the prophet, when Daniel was in trouble he stood true to God; he said, "God, I believe Your Word." And they said, "God, he looked towards that holy temple and prayed three times a day. Every morning he raised back the curtains and prayed towards the temple." And then Daniel got into a place, God wasn't finished with him yet, and He threw him into a lion's den.
Now, God had to make a way for him. God will make a way. He has to make a way. So He made a way of escape for Daniel. He sent an Angel to him right at once. He was on the ladder anyhow. So He just made a way of escape for him. And He sent a big Light down there, a fire, and like the Pillar of Fire, and the animal's scared of fire, so he run back. The lions wouldn't bother him, because around Daniel was this big Pillar of Fire, milling Light, around him all the time. So then the--the lions couldn't get to him. He made a way of escape for Daniel.

L-40 Enoch, Enoch, before the world, the antediluvian destruction, if He wanted to show a type, how could He do if He didn't want Enoch to die? He had to make a translation for him. So God just made a rapture for--for him. God had to do it in order to make a type out of Enoch. That's right.
When Elijah come to die, He'd already showed His type in that, so He had to show a way. So when Elijah crossed over and was going to be taken up, God had to make a way of escape for him. So He just set him down a chariot of fire and horse of fire, took him on up into glory. God made a way. Said to Elisha, said, "Today your head will be taken away," the school of the prophets.
Said, "I know it, but hold your peace."

L-41 He knew it. How's He going to do it? And He just come right down, picked him up; He made a way. God will always make a way. They looked forward for it for years, for the coming of the Messiah, the blessed Seed that should come from Abraham. They watched it clearly and straightly. And when He was borned down there, the people got so ritual on the Word, and so making commandments of God of non effect, they took to the tradition of men, the same thing they've done today. They don't take the Word of God. The Word of God teaches Divine healing. The Word of God teaches the supernatural. The Word of God gives a promise to the people that will believe.
But today, the scholars try to explain it away. But that don't take it away. God made the promise. Just come out and face the facts; you haven't got faith enough to believe it; that's all. But God made the promise. God said so.
