<TITLE>10. Par 78-87</TITLE>L-78 He had another time that He proved. He proved in the flood that He was the God of judgment, and a God of mercy to those that keep His commandments.
He showed at the burning bush, by a sign, that He would keep every promise that He made. And at the Red Sea, He showed that He'd make a way for those who were trying to do right and follow His commandments. No matter what cuts it off, God proved at the Red Sea, and gave a sign, that He could open up the sea. In every temptation, He'll make a way of escape. Say, "Mother don't believe it. Daddy don't believe it. The church don't believe it." I don't care who don't believe it. If you believe it, God will make a way of escape. He gave a sign that He would. They were on their way, straight to the promised land, where God promised them; and the Red Sea shut them off, and they got in trouble, they didn't know what to do. God showed that He'd make a way of escape in every temptation, every trial. If you can't quit smoking, take God one time. You can't quit lying, can't quit stealing, can't quit having temper; take God with you one time. If you don't feel like going to church, and you can't get anywhere, take God with you once, take His promise. He proved at the Red Sea that He'll make a way of escape. God's gave many signs.

L-81 But that night when He said to the shepherds, "Go down into Bethlehem, for this day is born Christ the Saviour. Christ, the anointed God, this day is born by a woman." God...
Not making her a god now. He just borrowed the womb of the woman, the same as He borrows this body to preach the Gospel from, and same as He borrows your body to do the work that He wants to do through you, because He still is Immanuel, a Sign, God with His people, God living among His people, the super, everlasting Sign. It can never fail. It'll always be the sign.

L-83 You talk about these signs, what about this one? Before you can ever get any other sign, the sign of speaking with tongues, the sign of prophesying, the sign of any supernatural, you'll have to go back to the original sign, the eternal and everlasting sign. Get straight to start with, and upon that foundation, which is Rock through the ages, and nothing will ever touch it. The gates of hell will be against it, but cannot prevail. Get that Sign, "A virgin shall conceive and bear a Son."
And He told these shepherds, "Here's how you'll find Him. He'll be in a manger, in a barn, wrapped in swaddling's cloth. And when you look upon Him, believe, for He is God among us."
That Sign wasn't only to the shepherds. But it was given to all the world to look upon Him and see who He is. It's God with us, Immanuel.

L-86 When He was here on the earth, He proved that He was God, proved that God was in Him, because the signs of God followed Him. He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not. But if I do the works of My Father, if you don't believe Me, believe the works, the sign": Immanuel. "I and My Father are One. My Father has sent Me. And as He sends Me, so send I you. The Father was sent Me is with Me; He's in Me and doing the works of Himself. It's God in flesh."

L-87 Didn't Lot get a taste of that before the destruction? When He seen God manifested in flesh, eating a calf, drinking the milk of the cow, eating bread off the hearth, and stood with His back turned to the tent, and with the personal pronoun "I... I... Seeing that Abraham is the heir of the world, I..." In other words, "I'll make it known to him."
Who was He? Then He said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?" It shocked him: God in a prefigure of Christ made flesh.
Said, "She's in the tent, behind You."
Sarah laughed. And He said, "Why did Sarah laugh?"
