<TITLE>04. Par 13-17</TITLE>L-13 Now, we thank You for these things that You've done for us this week, especially, Lord, for Thy omnipresence, knowing that You are here, and for Your Word, and the confirming of Thy Word, the confirmation that You are risen from the dead and a living Christ.
We pray that You'll bless the words that we're to speak tonight. And meet with us, Lord, and give us one of the greatest nights that we've had yet. People are waiting with great anticipation. And, Lord, while this great anticipation is on, may men and women look from this earthbound condition that we're setting, to a heavenly Father, that's ready to pour out His blessings and power upon us.
Grant it, Father. We ask it in Christ's Name as we fellowship around His Word. Amen.

L-14 I wish to take--to read just tonight, a little out of the Old Testament, of Genesis the 22nd chapter and the 7th and 8th verse, and perhaps the 14th. And I love His Word, and if you love His Word you've got to love Him. And if you love Him, you love His Word.
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for the burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
The 14th verse:
And Abraham called the name of the place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
Now, may the Lord add His blessings to His Word.
I want to ask you one more favor. When I'm overseas, and the challenge of the witch doctors, the winds are hot, can I remember, will you pray for me? Do that. Pray for me.

L-15 I think of that sometime, when you're right in those great moments, and see the God of heaven step right in and change that scene. Oh, it's so wonderful. I think that the folks are home are praying now.
See, we mustn't get in our minds that God just works with one individual; He works with us as a body. We're all one. One's just as important as the other one. We got to be together to make the body of Christ.

L-16 Now, I want to use my subject for just a little while if I'll maybe take my watch off that I won't get too long. And I want to speak on the subject of "Jehovah-jireh." It's a very deep subject.
Now, "Jehovah-jireh" means "the Lord's provided sacrifice." Now, God appeared in the Old Testament in seven compound, redemptive Names: Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord will provide a sacrifice", Jehovah-rapha, "the Lord that healeth all thy diseases." Jehovah-manasseh, Jehovah the Armor, the Buckler, the Shield, and so forth, seven compound, redemptive Names. Those redemptive names are inseparable. You can't--you can't separate them, because they each one apply to an attitude of Jehovah.

L-17 And the night when the picture was taken, that you see here now, of the Angel of the Lord, Mr. Best, the Baptist minister, holding the debate with Brother Bosworth... Brother Bosworth said, "If you'll just answer one question, Brother Best, yes or no, we will settle it, and I'll walk off the platform, the congregation be the judge." And he, the moderator let him ask, and he said, "Was the redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Jesus, yes or no?" That settled it. Sure.
And if He wasn't Jehovah-jireh, He wasn't the Lord's provided Sacrifice. If He was Jehovah-jireh, He had to be Jehovah-rapha, the same yesterday, today, and forever. So that settled it. So you can't--can't separate those names.
And they are applied each one to Jesus. And that's Jehovah's attitude always to His people: the Provided Sacrifice, the Healer, and the Buckler, and the Shield, and whatmore. Jehovah was then; Jehovah is today.
