<TITLE>06. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 Jesus said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away." Oh, how we ought to rest upon that Divine promise of the Son of God, Who said both "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away." There is a resting place for the soul.
Now. Jesus said in the Word... Jesus said, "If you ask the Father anything in My Name I'll do it." But sometimes when God performs something, and does something that we ask for, yet we don't... It comes in an unexpected way, and sometimes in a unexpected place, and at a unexpected time. But God will answer in His own way, if you'll just believe it. See?
See, you must believe it, accept it, and then don't take it back. Hold onto it. Lay hold of it, and say, "This is it. God said it. That settles it. If God said so, that's finished." No matter how long... There might not have been one molecule come into existence when He said, "Let there be" for a world, but He--He's eternal. And after while become molecules and atoms, and it come up, because He said it to be that way.

L-25 And here's a promise too, that we can think. If He, the One that said that, has brought every Word to pass, then He's going to have a church to appear before Him without spot or wrinkle. And it's going to behoove us, brother, sister, to really be sure that we are right with God, and then... Because there's going to be a church, and we want to be part of that church.
No matter what this is here on earth, we're looking for a city whose Builder and Maker is God. And we can't afford to lose that. Whatever you do, don't forget that. No matter what the neighbor does, what the other fellow does, what your schoolmate does, or what your husband, or your wife, or anyone else. It's a personal affair with you and God. You must, you just must seek out that salvation.
Your father might've been a great man, your mother a great man, but what about you? See? See, it's you. You must have it your own self. All right.

L-26 Now, when Jesus said, "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll do it," now that's just right straight down off of the shoulder. "I will do it." And He was... Now, it's on conditions: if you'll believe when you ask. Now, in Mark 11:22 we find out that Jesus said, "If you say to this mountain, 'Be thou plucked up and cast into the sea,' and don't doubt, but believe that what you have said will come to pass; you can have what you've said," See?
Now. Now, the thing... You just couldn't get out here and say, "Mountain, move down." You've got to have a motive and objective to that. You see? And that... You've got to find out first if it's the will of God, and then your motive and objective to the will of God, and then, speak to it, and stand there; it'll come down (Yes, you see?), if you get the conditions right. But you've got to have the conditions right.

L-27 Now, you must remember also, that when God answers, sometimes it's in an unexpected way. He's unchangeable, but He does things in unexpected ways.
Now, let's just call up a case or two before we proceed. Let's think of Moses. I like to study Moses. He was such a gallant man, and he gave us the Old Testament through the power of God. And many times the skeptics say, "Now, Moses wrote that, and how do we know it's right?"
Well, you can go back and prove that it's right. And if He who could say what has been, and what will be, and what was to take place after him, and that come to pass; then I believe that that was right also. You see? See, just like if we can stand here on-- in the church, and the Holy Spirit can go back down through your life and tell you what was, and you know whether that's truth or not... Well, if you know, and know that that's the truth, then surely you could believe what He tells you will come to pass will be there, because this bears record for that. See? And that's true.
