<TITLE>06. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 Someone said not long ago when I was speaking at a meeting, said, "Do you mean to believe, or to say that you believe, that this world will be destroyed?"
I said, "Yes."
Said, "How do you figure that? How could it be destroyed?"
I said, "By the Word of God."
"Will the atomic destroy it?
I said, "It'll be destroyed by the Word. For the Word created it, and the same Word that created it, said it'll be destroyed." God said so. How it'll happen, I don't know. But it will happen. The Word that created it, the same One said will be ended.
And everything that has a beginning has an end. It's those things that does not have a beginning, has an end. God has no beginning; so, therefore, He has no end. And the Life, His own Life, Eternal Life... The Greek word "Zoe," that's God's own Life has come down into you, and you become part of God. And you have Eternal Life, which had no begin or no end to it. You've got to go up with that Eternal Life. You can never perish, because it's Eternal. God's promises are eternal. Believe and you shall receive.

L-16 But could you imagine (quickly now), that the great power that was in the Son of God... And when He met the devil, He never used it. He just took the Father's Word to show how simple it was. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth from the mouth of God," just to show the power of that Word. He also said, "Destroy this body, it'll be raised up again in three days." What was it? He was eating that Word that made the promise. There's no way for the grave to hold Him. That's right. God's Word.
And could you imagine, if you could only see the simplicity of God's eternal purpose, and of the sovereignty of His grace. Could you imagine Him using that great power to put a curse on a tree because it didn't have any fruit on it, and leaving thousands lay unhealed? The tree is part of God's creation as same as man is part of God's creation. But to show that He is concerned about trees, about insects... If He's concerned about those, how much more is He concerned about you?

L-17 Just some time ago, about four months, I guess, Brother Wood, that lives next door to me; he was a Jehovah Witness, forbidden to go to the church. He had a boy that had a paralyzed leg from--from polio. And at Louisville, Kentucky (where we go next), there was a--a meeting out there at the high school gymnasium. And there was great things the Lord did. His wife is Methodist, or, no, I believe the Anderson Church of God, called the First Church of God. And you probably get the program up here: "Shady Green Pastures." It's a nationwide broadcast, Brother Meekler the pastor.
Then... Brother Wood did not believe in no such stuff. But when come to the meeting, he seen something take place; his heart was strangely warm. I went overseas, come back. And one night, at Cleveland, Ohio, him setting a city block from me, the Holy Spirit turned and said, "You, your name is Wood, and you're from a certain city in Kentucky. You're Jehovah Witness by faith. And you've got a boy there that has a paralyzed leg, drawed up underneath. And your wife suffers with a horrible tumor. THUS SAITH THE LORD, they're healed. They didn't know what to do. They turned and looked at each other, and went on with the meeting. Of course, I followed on.
In a few moments she put her hands down to her side and said, "Banks (that's her husband), look here; there's no knot left. Said, "David get on your feet." And the little boy jumped up, both legs just as normal as they could be.
