<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 I wish to approach the Word now, just a little picture that I use on usually the first night to introduce to you the calling that the Holy Spirit has given me. And firmly being a fundamentalist who believes God's eternal Word, believing that everything that God has written is part of Himself. I believe the Scripture says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." So therefore, this Word is part of God.
And if you'll approach it like that, approach His Word like you would approaching Him... For no one is any better than His Word is. If I cannot take your word, I would not believe you for anything, seeing you stood by men. And that's the way I believe by God. If God made a promise, and if He's the Almighty God, He must stay by His promise to maintain His position is Almighty God. He cannot make a promise, and then take it back? I could make a promise and have to take it back. You may make a promise and have to take it back, because we are men. And we're--we're finite. But He's infinite. God cannot get wiser, smarter; He was perfect to begin with. And when God makes a statement, it's just perfect.

L-10 When God makes a statement in a crisis, in the way He approaches that crisis, if that same crisis arises again, He's got to approach it in the same manner, the same way, that He did the first time, or He did wrong the way He approached it the first time. You see, if God healed sick people to begin with, when a crisis was... When Moses had no remedy for the sick, and God raised up a brass serpent in the wilderness and He made an atonement for the sick and afflicted because there was a crisis. Then if that crisis...?... see a crisis and know there is no remedy to help us, God has to act the same way to us, or He acted wrong when He acted for Moses. He's God; He cannot change. He never knows no more or no less; He's perfect forever.
And I want to read a portion of His Word found in Saint John 12 and the 20th verse, and then Hebrews 13:8 for a text.
And there were certain Greeks among them... came up to the feast to worship:
The same therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired Him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
In Hebrews 13:8 it's written:
 Jesus Christ the same yesterday... to day, and for ever.

L-11 Now, we want to look at this... Do you believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Would you believe that because the Bible said so? If you would I'd like you just raise your hands, every believer. Well, that's perfect. If God has said that He is the same, then He must be the same, or the Scripture is wrong. And if the Scripture is wrong in one place, I'd be afraid to trust It, because it might be wrong in another place. It's got to all be right or it's all wrong.
So if you should see that all in this room tonight starving to death, and some great multimillionaire would come to the door and say, "Tomorrow at nine o'clock, I'm going to give fifty people in here a thousand dollars." No, one could have faith. If he said, "I'm going to give one person in here a thousand dollars tomorrow. No, one could have faith. You might be the one, and you might not be. The only way you could have faith is saying, "I'll give every one of you a thousand dollars." Then you can all have faith. "Whosoever will, let him come," says the Scripture. It's on whosoever will; it's up to you if you come. The invitation is given.
