<TITLE>10. Par 43-47</TITLE>L-43 And--and the precious German people had accepted Adolf Hitler, the dictator, and loyalty they'd placed upon that man... I just left Germany recently. All Germany needs is leadership. I said, "Look what you've done by placing your faith upon a dictator. Papa is way up yonder in the--one side of the zone, and mama down here, and sister working somewhere else, and brother killed, and look where you've got. You're fine people but you've placed your faith on the wrong person. Take that loyalty and place it on Jesus Christ and see where you come out." Fine people but placing their loyalty in the wrong place...
Let us not be found guilty of that. Let us place our loyalty on Jesus Christ. As Eddie Perronet screamed in his hour...
All hail the power of Jesus' Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
There we are.
For on Christ, the solid Rock I stand;
All other grounds is sinking sand.
Nations are breaking, Israel awakening,
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
The signs that the prophets foretold;
The Gentile days numbered, with horrors encumbered;
Return, O dispersed, to your own.

L-44 We're at the end time. Let's find our Father's will, be about our Father's business, trying not to make for ourselves a name.
We find it amongst evangelists, big evangelists, sometimes they feel they're too big to come to little churches and things: a big name. There's only one big name amongst Christians; that's the Name of Jesus Christ, that every knee will bow to and every tongue will confess to someday. That's the big Name amongst us: Jesus Christ.
But we find it... Our Titanic sunk. Hitler's Maginot line, or Siegfried line, whichever it was, it was crushed to pieces. What do we find ourselves then at the end of the road? Our achievements are no good. So why fool with them? Let's find if God has a way and an achievement.

L-45 When God was going to destroy the world one time because of it's sin and wickedness, Noah built God an ark. We do not wish to try to achieve anything. Because there's nothing for us to achieve in this way. We just accept what's already been achieved. God caused Noah to build an ark that would've saved the world, if they would've believed it.
But God knew they wasn't going to be saved, so He made it just so many cubits long. As He did in the days of Noah, He promised to do at the coming of the Son of man. He's got a Gospel. It doesn't reach out and let men and women come into the Kingdom of God loaded with sin and unbelief. It's narrow, but it's the way.

L-46 He knowed who'd come in. But it's His provided way. All that heard Noah, standing in that door and preaching judgment... Sometimes it sounds radical, and always has, to the unbelieving heart. But unbelief doesn't stop God. Unbelief only stops the unbeliever. It doesn't stop...
You can't stop the sun from shining with unbelief. And you couldn't stop the program of God with your unbelief. John the Baptist said, "God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham." See? God's Word has spoken; it's got to come to pass. See? Somebody's going to hear It. Somebody's going to get the benefit of It. We're all free moral agents, can take our choice.

L-47 But look what happened in the days of Noah. All that heard were called fanatics. They made fun of him up on the hill, building this ark, and never water had come down. And science might've come to him and said, "Where is the water at? Show me where it is." But God's program has never been upon material things. It's been faith in His Word. That's God's provided way; to take His Word for it; believe It, something that you cannot scientifically prove.
Noah said, "I cannot tell you where that water is, but God told me it's going to come. That's good enough for me." So he built the ark and made ready for it.
