<TITLE>14. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 You want to have the form of godliness and have the power thereof, go ahead; that's fulfilling the Scriptures. But God said, "These signs shall follow them that believe: In My Name they shall cast out devils; they'll speak with new tongues; they'll take up serpents or drink deadly things; it'll not harm them. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Somebody--somebody's going to do it. God's Word's unchangeable. That's right.
"My Word shall be fulfilled, because I'm Gabriel that stands in the Presence of God; but you'll be dumb and can't speak no more, because you've doubted. And you'll never be able to do it until the day the baby's born."

L-45 And then, this Angel knew about that; the same Angel six months later was sent to little Mary and told her about it. Six months later... Now, little Mary said... Now, she never said--questioned Him, she just said, "How will it be, because that I know not a man?"
He said, "The Holy Ghost shall overshadow thee. (Oh, I like that.) The Holy Ghost shall come up over thee, and you shall conceive in your womb and bear a Son knowing no man. But this Son shall be the Son of God. And He shall save His people from their sin. And He will take the throne of His Father, David, and He will reign forever and ever, and peace shall never cease."
Talk about peace, they say, "Well, He was the Prince of Peace." Yes, and every man accepts Him has eternal peace in his heart.

L-46 The world may be at war, and there may be wars in saying this; He never said the world would. The kingdoms of this world belongs to the devil. Every one of them's controlled by the devil.
The Bible says that this United States and all the rest of the world is controlled by the devil. That's the reason we fight and go on. But when Jesus comes and sets on the throne of His Father, David, perfect peace shall reign in every heart. Oh, God, for that day to come...
When Satan took Him up and said, "If Thou be the Son of God, do this. And if Thou..." Took Him to show Him the kingdoms of the world, all the kingdoms would ever be, said, "They're mine; I do with them what I want to. I'll give them to You if You'll bow down and worship me."
Jesus knowed in the Millennium He'd fall heir to that. He said, "Get thee behind me, Satan. For it is written, 'Thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God. Him only shall thou serve.'"

L-47 Oh, my, wonder why I trouble. Bless our country. Sure, I'll believe in that, our leaders and things like that, but it's still dominated by Satan, the Bible says so. All these strip things going on that you hear about, just remember, brother, we are looking for a city to come whose Builder and Maker is God. That's right. We're looking for a Kingdom to come. It isn't Germany; it isn't Switzerland; it isn't the United States; it's Christ and the Kingdom from above.
Jesus said, "If My kingdom was of this earth, then I'd have My people to fight for Me. But My kingdom is above. And I could call My Father and straightway He'd give Me twenty legions of Angels." Amen! When one Angel could destroy the whole world...
 Covet not this world's vain riches
 That so rapidly decay.
 Build your hopes on things eternal;
 They will never pass away.
