<TITLE>25. Par 277-283</TITLE>L-277 Then all of a sudden when they fully obeyed the Word of God, then they saw the miracle of Pentecost. They saw Fire fall in the building. That Pillar of Fire come down in amongst the people; and big licks like cloven tongues set upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and begin to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Something happened. When? When they--when they made their decision to--that they'd already received It? No. When they fully obeyed the Word of God, they saw the miracle of Pentecost. So is it today; you got to do the same thing.

L-279 Now, friends, I really will close on this one. I ain't going to turn another page. All right, next man get ready when I say this.
Now, although called everything that can be called, bad, "holy-roller, Pentecostal, church-breaker, hypocrite, Beelzebub, dreamer," everything that can be called, we're called. But what do they do, call you what? "Dreamer, Beelzebub, false prophet, Jesus Only," everything else that can be called, everything bad that could be called... But by believing the true Word of God, His true prophet of the Word, what do we do? We see the things that we see.

L-281 Oh, they'll come from the East and West,
They'll come from the lands afar,
To feast with our King, to dine as His guests;
How blessed these pilgrims are!
Beholding His hallowed face
Aglow with love Divine;
Blessed partakers of His grace,
As gems in His crown to shine.
Jesus is coming soon,
Our trials will then be o'er,
Oh, what if our Lord this moment should come
For those who are free from sin?
Oh, then would it bring you joy,
Or sorrow and deep despair?
When our Lord in glory comes,
We'll meet Him up in the air.

L-282 Why? We're acting upon His Word. Amen. Call anything you want to. We see the sign of the Messiah in our midst. We see a Pillar of Fire: can't deny it. Call us anything they want to. God's here. Science has took the picture of It. Why? Obeying His Word. It's never been done in history, but yet the mechanical eye of the camera says it's Him, there's a Light struck the lens. Why? Taking God's Word first. Let the denominations kick you out, if they want to. Let them all turn their back on you, if you want to. But act upon the Word of God, if you want to see the miracles of God.

L-283 Jesus promised, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."
That Angel came down, God manifested in a human body, turned His back to the tent and said to--not knowing who Abraham was, pretendingly, said, "Abraham." Not Abram; He'd just changed his name a couple days before that. "Where is thy wife, Sarah?" Not S-a-r-a-i, S-a-r-a-h. "Where is thy wife, Sarah?" Called him by his fatherly name, and her by her princess name... Oh. Who was He? Abraham knowed right then Who that was.
He said, "She's in the tent, behind You."
He said, "I'm going to visit you, Abraham. ('I,') I'm going to visit you according to My promise that I give you, because you've waited now all these years. Twenty-five years you've waited for it. You stayed right with the Word, acting upon the Word. You denied that you even belong on the earth. You've become a pilgrim and a stranger. You're seeking a City to come, Whose Builder and Maker is God. I promised you that through this child that would be brought forth, that he'd--you'd be a father of many nations. I've promised it. You've acted on the Word; now you're going to see the miracle of God."
"How will I see it, my Lord?"
"Where is Sarah, thy wife?"
"In the tent behind You."
Said, "I'm going to visit you according to the time of life."
And Sarah laughed within herself, said, "How can me, an old woman, and my lord old too, ever have pleasure again?"
He said, "Why did Sarah laugh?"
He'd acted upon the Word of God. He was seeing the miracle of God.
Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." See, act upon the Word of God, and you'll see the miracle of God.
