<TITLE>09. Par 34-37</TITLE>L-34 Can't fail, there's no failing in it. It don't rest upon what I do; it's rest upon what He did. Amen. It's already finished. The believer once anchored in Christ Jesus, coming through the door back there, put on this highway, you can't get any way but straight up to God with it, Angels to take care of you. God made a way of this.
When He seen in the beginning, in our first parent's fall, He seen the covenant He made with Adam; He tried to hook the ladder into him, and it failed. Then there's nothing else He could hook it to, but to bring down His own Son and hook it to Him. So it can't fail now. So what we worried about? What we stewing about? Why we go along, great big long face? Let's look up and grin. Look up, and not only grin, but laugh, not only laugh, but raise up holy hands everywhere, giving praise and glory to God, for His promises is yea and amen, not yes and no, not yes and no, but yes. There's no no in it. Yes.

L-35 Our foundation stands sure. Foundation of God... God laid in Zion the cornerstone. There we are, can't slip, can't slide, can't move. Then we come into the door, through Christ, put on here. Oh, we may have our ups-and-downs along; that's true enough, sicknesses and troubles. But remember, there's a great company of Angels all along the road, bear thee up any time. Taking you on up when you fall. Oh, yes, He's there. He promised it. And He had to make a way of it.
So the only way He could make was the Cornerstone, the precious Stone, the tried Stone, the Elect. And "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run in at it and are safe." That's right. Safe, nothing can bother you any more. You're in the Rock. It's not whether you hold now; it's whether the Rock holds. And the Rock's done held, so then you're--you are safe. Nothing can harm you, nothing can come to you unless God permits it.

L-36 And if along the road something is done, testing and trying, you--your trial, child-training as you go along, remember, His Angels will bear you up, Angels to comfort you, Angels to give you faith, Angels to move you along. God's got a host of Angels all up-and-down the ladder.
Now, He had to made a way for this. And He made it through Christ. Now, when Christ... Every time that God made a promise, He had to make a way for this promise. Now, notice closely, when He told Noah that He was going to destroy the world, but was going to save him... Now, before God could save Noah, He had to make a way of salvation for him. So God had him to build a boat and to pitch it inside and out. How he took that--that gopher wood, real thin, light wood; it's lighter than balsam... Oh, and when it's fixed it's just so light that it... You can just pick it up, a great log of it, and it's nothing hardly to it, 'cause it's just a--it's just light.

L-37 But then what you do out of that, they go out and get some pitch out of another log. And they beat it real hard. Now, if you just took that gopher wood and set it in the water, it would water soak and die just in a few minutes, or--or immerse--submerge beneath. If it would just that way...
But you see, God takes the foolishness of the preaching of the Gospel, He takes the weak and humble people to show His power. He takes the uneducated to confound those who got this big education. He takes the simple things to confound the wise.
So He takes this old gopher wood here that was just so light and like balsam... And if you'd set that thing in the water, they'd say, "My, my, that thing will sink right now." Well, now that's the way they say, "Now, what could that bunch do, or this say?" You heard them remarks.
