<TITLE>32. Par 230-234</TITLE>L-230 And a sword went out of His mouth. What was He? The white horse rider of Revelations. Notice the sword. "Out of His mouth goes a sharp two-edged sword," the Word. And finally, by His Word, when It's made manifest to all the sons of God, He'll tramp every nation down with His Word, by this sharp sword. Look here what happened, as we get it.
And... his right hand... and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenances was like the sun shining in its strength.
"A sharp two-edged sword." What was going from the mouth of this Person? The Word of God. It's a sharp two-edged sword. What was it doing? Discerning the thoughts of the heart, the intents; goes even deeper than the meat, the flesh, the blood cells, into the bone, down into the marrow of the bone, plumb on beyond that, even to the Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. That's what the Word of God does.

L-232 "And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us." And now the Word's made flesh in His church, dwelling among us: His angels in His hand, minister. God is depending upon His church. God is relying on us of this age to bring this Gospel Light to a dying, heathen-bound, traditional world. God's laying the burden on me and you. Woe unto us if the heathen dies without knowing it. Oh, they carried reading, writing, arithmetic, and a few religious pamphlets, and they've made no more than a bunch of proselytes. I mean the Gospel. The Gospel is not the Word only. Paul said so. Paul said the Gospel didn't come to us through Word only, but that Word made manifest.
When the Word, by the Holy Ghost, is... The Word is planted into the heart that's got the Holy Ghost and produces what the Word says it would. And the Word can discern the thoughts of the heart. Glory. Oh, my. Oh. A Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, the Word does.

L-233 Goes from His mouth, a sharp two-edged sword, wake up the heathens... Something's got to happen one of these days. Yes. The Word of God, His Name was the Word of God, the Word made manifest. Look, Jesus said, "Go into all the world," Mark 16, His last salute to the church before He returns to reveal Himself in the church age. He commissioned the church, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." What? Preach the Gospel. Mark 16, "Preach the Gospel to every creature." What is that? In other words, demonstrate the power of the Holy Ghost: had to be.

L-234 Now, watch, to every... Not just teach the Word. He never said go teach the Word; He said, "Go preach the Gospel," not teach the Word, preach the Gospel. "And these signs shall follow them that believe this Gospel; in My Name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; if they would take up a serpent or drink a deadly thing it wouldn't harm them; if they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover."
"And they went forth," said the Scripture, "preaching everywhere, the Lord working with them, confirming the Word with signs following." That's the Gospel, the Gospel on display.
These signs shall follow how many? Unto the end of the world, to every age. There's that little minority coming down through, holding that Light. No wonder Jesus said, "Fear not, little flock, it's your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom,": the little flock, the minority always, not in the majority.
