<TITLE>05. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 Now, by the grace of God, I have chosen this afternoon to read a little Scripture out of Saint Matthew, the 17th chapter of Saint Matthew's Gospel. And I'm going to read a few verses, because I love the reading of God's Word. How many loves to read God's Word, just... Oh, my. The reason I read it, is because I'm such a poor speaker and a substitute for His servant, to... I know if I read His Words, and nothing else is done but reading His Word, some good will come from the meeting. His Words will not fail; mine will. So if I read His, that'll be enough, just reading that Word, till the people will have something that's eternal and cannot fail. So let us read now, as we look in the Bible. The 17th chapter, the 1st verse.
 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 was as white as the light.
 And, behold, there appeared unto him Moses and Elias talking with him.
 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 for a little text this afternoon, and to bypass the--some of the things that I had said about it, I wish to take this for a text: "Hear Ye Him."

L-14 Now, before we approach the other part, let us speak to Him again as we bow our heads.
Now, blessed Lord, we have read Your Word as a text. We pray that the Holy Spirit will give unto us the context of this Word as we wait with open hearts and open ears. We ask in Jesus Christ's Name, Thy beloved Son. Amen.
There's something about the reading of the Word. Now, can you hear me all around good? If you can, raise up your hands, if you can hear all the way around? That's--that's good. All right.

L-15 There's something about the reading of the Word that's eternal. Every Christian should read the Word every day, for Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
And I wish to state this too: And remember, that every promise in this Bible is good, and it will hold type, and God's guilty of His promise if you'll take the right mental attitude towards it, it'll bring it to pass. Every Divine promise in God's Word, if you can take the right mental attitude towards it, God will bring it to pass. Think of that. For It's a Seed that a sower sowed. And It's got--It's--It's Life. And any...
You farmers here know that if you put your seed in the ground... Now, every morning you don't go out and dig it up, see if it has sprouted yet or not. If you do, you'll never get a crop. You--you hinder it every time you dig it up. You place it in the ground, commit it to the ground, forget about it. It is up to God to do the rest of it.
That is the way you take His promise. You place it in your heart, say, "That means for me. And I'm going to keep it there." Don't every day say, "See if I'm getting any better." That's not even in the subject. Just keep on believing it. God will make it come to pass, for it's a Seed.
