<TITLE>05. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 May the Lord add His blessings farther as we go now. And we'll speak to you just a little bit from a text that's found in Saint Matthew 19th chapter and the 8th verse. And now, we'll try not to be but about fifteen or twenty minutes on the text and then go to the prayer line. I wish to read this verse, that is the 8th verse, reads like this.
 And he said unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it wasn't so.
Now, I want to take that last part of the verse for a text: "From The Beginning It Wasn't So." You know when He came to the earth in His first visitation, He found that the teachers of His day was teaching things that wasn't so. I wonder if He returned tonight if He wouldn't find about the same, teaching things that wasn't so. Did you notice He said, "It--it wasn't so from the beginning."

L-14 Now, God, as we have taught Him that He is infinite. And Brother Gene, I hope you're getting this tape; it'll be short, but catch it please. That's my--one of my precious brothers, the tape boy. God is infinite. We all believe that. And when God says anything, it must forever be that way. Don't never lose that precious treasure from your heart. That when God says anything He cannot alter it; He cannot improve it; it's perfectly spoke; and it will be forever that way. If God is eternal and infinite, His Word is just like He is.
So therefore, Jesus referred back on this subject. As we know they were teaching, giving people, men rights to divorce their wives and so forth. And Jesus said, "From the beginning it wasn't so."
They said, "Moses told us that we might have a writing of a divorce if we wish to put our wife away."
Jesus said, "Moses did it because of the hardness of your hearts. But it wasn't so from the beginning. Because God said at the beginning, 'For this cause a man shall leave his wi--shall leave his father, his mother, and all, and cleave to his wife.'"

L-15 So when God said that at the beginning, it can never be changed by anything. Therefore, you can rest assure, that if you believe this Word to be God's Word, whatever God says it is absolutely perfect and can never be changed. Jesus said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away."
Just like the old colored man said down south, he said, "I'd rather be standing on God's Word than standing in heaven."
They said, "Mose, why do you say that?"
He said, "Because heavens and earth is going to pass away, but His Word won't."
So that's about the way of it. God's Word will never perish. And God's Word is part of Him. Your word is part of you. And you're no better then your word, and God's no better then His Word. Therefore, have faith in God's Word. No matter how ridiculous It sounds, how It doesn't cope with these modern days, but still It shall come to pass. God said so, that settles it forever. Now, the children of Abraham believe that solemnly with all their heart. What God says is truth. "Let every man's word be a lie, but God's be true." Forever It stands, eternally.
