<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 But the most of the people comes to my meeting, is not to hear the teaching, is to see the manifestation of the supernatural. And that's the... I'm too illiterate, unlearned, uneducated to be able to be a--a Bible explainer. But I--I... The only thing that I--I'm glad I know Him. See? And then in that, in my humble way, among humble people, it brings a--a reality of knowing the... It confirms what the expositor is preaching. See? It's a confirmation of what the real Bible teacher, teaches. The Holy Spirit comes and confirms what He says is the truth.
So one is an ear; one is a mouth; one is an eye; but we're all one body, isn't that right? All right.
It's strange, in reading, taking His Word how that God way back before the world ever begun, how He begin to see the thing unfold and know then... God didn't make a choice then, God could not--could say the word of predestinate... The word "predestinate," as I've always said, is not a good word to use to the public, because "predestinate" means, perhaps "to--to--to predestine something to happen." But God could predestinate by foreknowledge. He foreknew what would be, not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance; but being infinite, and God, He could predestinate and foretell by foreknowledge.

L-6 As well stated, predestination looks back to foreknowledge, and foreknowledge looks on to destiny. See? And God in the beginning, could see all things the way it would happen. Therefore, He could tell, this will be this way, and that'll be that way, and this will be this way, and that that way, because He... By foreknowledge He wasn't willing that the left side would be wrong, that this would be... He didn't want that to happen. But being God, He knew it would happen that way. So therefore, He could foretell what would be. And He knew the end from the beginning. That wonderful? And to think that every borned again child of God tonight, has that privilege and assurance to know that God knoweth His own. See? That's right. God knoweth His own.
Last night preaching on Jacob's ladder, and the Lord willing one night this week, I want to speak on "The Expansion of Time," so, or "Expanding the Time," rather. And how that in the heavens God had His, the ladder hooked to His throne, and had it hooked unto earth in His Son Christ Jesus, and put us in between it. There's no way of getting away. That's all. He's just got. And then, besides, to be sure that we have a nice comfortable trip...

L-7 You know, going down in Mexico, a few days ago, the Pan American Airlines, they say, "We're making everything just as comfortable as we can. We want you to enjoy yourself." I was riding along over top the mountains down in Mexico, and what a bumpy ride. I thought, "Well, the airplane company couldn't help that. That's just some of the elements of the earth, the heat and so forth, a driving the wind and--and the air currents in the mountains." But God has promised, and God can control all the bumpy places. You see? So He sent a great company of Angels to ascend and descend on our road, as we go back up the ladder.
Did you ever notice? It's only a one way street too. no wrecks. We're going one way, not returning. We're going up the ladder altogether. Oh, He's wonderful.
