<TITLE>03. Par 7-10</TITLE>L-7 And sometimes I condemn the actions of the sons of men, against those who profess to be Christians, and the way they act in this day at the coming of the Lord. It's not because that I do not like you. I love you. But we're one great army marching on. And when I see that rank being broke here, and let down here on the morals of the people, and I just can't stand it. I got to fly into it; that's just all I can do. And I believe at the judgment bar you will love me better if I tell you the truth now.
If you went to a doctor, and you knew you had the symptoms of some horrible disease that was going to take your life, and the doctor patted you on the back and said, "Well, you're just a fine fellow. Oh, you'll be all right. Go ahead." You wouldn't appreciate that doctor. If that doctor had to come with a naked truth and use a knife, let's get rid of the thing. That's right. Get it out of there.
So if it hurts, let it hurt, so that we can be right and march on. And that's what the Word is for. And that's what a minister's for is to correct the things that's in the church and to move on for the glory of God.

L-8 And let's pray together now, and may the Lord add His blessings as we read the blessed Word. Now, reading today from the 16th chapter of Saint Matthew, beginning with the 1st verse, or at the 17th chapter, pardon me. The 17th chapter of Saint Matthew, I wish to read just a portion of the Word.
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment... white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with them.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee... one for Moses, and one for Elias.
And while he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And the three last words is my text: "Hear Ye Him."

L-9 You know, God meets with the sons of men many times in different forms and in different groups, different councils, different numbers. One time He met with them where there were five hundred gathered together. One time He met with them where there was seventy together. And He met with them where there was twelve gathered together. And then He met with them where three were gathered together, and where one. God meets wherever men will gather together. He has promised to meet.
And so this afternoon it's most surely that He is here to meet with us today upon this nice gathering of people here in this auditorium this afternoon. God loves to commune with His--His servants. He loves to make Hisself known to the sons of men. He loves to show His power.
Any Bible reader who reads the Bible, knows that God loves to display His power. He brings men into situations that they cannot figure out in order to show them that He loves them and leads them.

L-10 Look at Israel on their journey, which was a type of this journey today, how He would lead them right into death's trap, then display His power. When Pharaoh would--would say, "I will let them go."
And then God say, "No, I'm going to harden His heart," just in order to show His great power.
And I believe that that's why God is letting things happen the way they are today, that when the great rush finally comes He loves to show His power and display His love to the sons of men.
Reading a few days ago, this Scripture which has always been an outstanding one to me, I seemed to catch a new revelation. And you know, God's Word is so eternal. It's so inspired that It is not just for one occasion or for one generation. The Word of God is so eternal, the same, and the Truth, till It will...
