<TITLE>12. Par 59-64</TITLE>L-59 But He can see right down into your heart. He's omnipresent. Do you believe that? Omnipotent, infinite, sure He is. He knows--He knowed everything before the foundation of the world. He's all present, has all knowledge, all power. That proved that it was God in Him.
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
He said, "Rabbi, You're the Son of God. You're the King of Israel."
See, they had a spiritual conception. Oh, I wished I had just a few minutes here. Would it--would you bear with me if I say I'll watch the clock for about three to five minutes?
Did you know the entire body of Jesus Christ is revealed through revelation? Did you know the things that's written in the Word, you have to read the Bible in-between the lines? It's a love story. You believe that?

L-60 Now, my wife setting over there, I love her. God knows that. And when she writes me a letter when I'm overseas, and she knows I'm tired and weary, she'll set down, "Dear Bill, I've just put the children to sleep. And tonight I'm thinking of you and been praying for you." Now, that's what she's saying, but I love her so much, and she loves me that I can read between the lines. I know what she really means. See? It's a love affair.
And if you love the Lord like that, you read the Bible not as a newspaper, not in some theological seminary interpretation of it, but as a love letter. The Bible said so. Now, how many knows that? Some of you.

L-61 Well, Jesus said, "I thank Thee, Father, that Thou hast hid it from the seminary students--the wise and imprudent, and revealed it to babes such as would learn." It's hid from the eyes of smart and educated. It's revealed to babes such as will learn.
Notice, when Job was in trouble and he--he was fixing to die, he thought. And the angel of the Lord came, and the Spirit came on the prophet, and the thunders roared, and the lightnings flashed. And he stood up and said, "I know my Redeemer liveth. And at the last days He will stand on the earth, though the skinworms destroys this body, yet in my flesh I'll see God." You know where he was buried?

L-62 Along come Abraham. And when Sarah, his sweetheart, when she died, did you notice where he buried her? In the promised land right with Job. When Abraham died, he was buried with Sarah. Abraham begot Isaac, when Isaac died, he was buried with Abraham. Isaac begot Jacob and he died down in Egypt, but made his prophet son put his hand on his limping hip, and said, "Swear by the God of Abraham, you'll not bury my bones down here." Why? What difference did it make where he was buried? They were prophets: spiritual revelation.

L-63 And when Joseph died, he said, "Don't you bury my bones down here, but someday God will visit you. You take my bones out of this Egypt up yonder in the promised land and bury them." Why? Nothing wrote in the Word about it. But it was a spiritual understanding. They knowed that firstfruits of the resurrection, that Redeemer, that Job saw, would rise, and on Easter morning when He rose up, there come Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the saints that slept under the dust of the earth come out and went into the city and appeared to many.

L-64 Go ahead, have the world. Take all your unbelief. Everything you want. Bury me safely in Jesus. For those that are in Christ will God bring living at His coming.
All the formals, the rituals, and so forth, just give me the plain old Gospel just the way it's written. Let me believe it in the simplicity that it's writ--wrote in, and believe it just as a child would believe it. God made the promise. God keeps His promise. Certainly He will; every Word, He keeps it. And He's got to.
