<TITLE>18. Par 77-82</TITLE>L-77 I tell you, faith is a great big thing when it comes on the Word of God. He's not afraid then. Faith's got hairs on the chest, big muscles. It says, "Shut-up." Everything else scoots to the corner (That's right.) when God speaks. "If ye abide in Me and My Words in you, say what you will." There you are. Oh, I like that. Um.
Devils will tremble and sinners awake.
Faith in Jehovah will anything shake.
How can you have faith when you know you're not work--walking in His Word, when you know there's things there that you ought to say and you don't say it? There's things there you ought to teach and you don't teach it. There's things there that you can't say, and how can you have faith when you know you're wrong?

L-78 If our heart condemn us not. There you are. There you are. But stay with that Word where there's nothing condemned. There's no condemnation to them that's in Christ Jesus that walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. The Spirit leads with the Word, 'cause the Spirit can only come out of the Word, 'cause His Word is Spirit; and It can only... The real true Spirit of God can only speak the Word of God. Oh, my, my, my. Get away world. Satan, leave us.
Don't be afraid to say to this mountain, "Be moved." Say it. Stay there and watch her crumble. That's right. But if you got any condemnation there, you better--you better keep still. You're just babbling then. You're not saying the truth. You're not saying the things that--that you should say.

L-79 All right, we find out then that Joshua, after he went through that test, he seen the evidence of a good land, and he stood there at Kadesh-Barnea and complained against all of them, and said, "We're more than able to take it. We can take it."
What was the idea? Cross over. What was Moses' idea? Show this sign and bring the children out, and looked like it failed. But he stayed with the Word, and the gate of the Dead Sea could not hold him. He went right on through it. He possessed the gate of the enemy.

L-80 Joshua, looking at the promise of God, said, "We're more than able to take it." That's right. And when he come down to the Jordan, what did she do? She gave away. Amen. That's it. He possessed the gate of the enemy.
That Jordan was keeping him back from going over and taking that promise. But when he got down there, he was the seed of Abraham. Why? He believed God's Word. That's the only way you can be a seed of Abraham, is to believe God's Word. And then what did he do when he come down to where he was ready to take the enemy? God opened up the gate, and he possessed it, took it, went over.

L-81 When the first battle, his first conflict he had with them, the walls was so big they could run a top--chariot race on top of them. How's he going in to get them? They run from him, got back inside. The enemy will do too, but you'll take the gate of the enemy.
Said, "Lord, what must I do?" He was walking around one afternoon, meditating. He seen a Man standing with His sword drawed. Joshua pulled his sword and said, "Are You for us? Are You for our enemy?"
He said, "I'm the Captain of this host." Hallelujah.
"What must I do?"
"March around it thirteen times; sound a trumpet. You'll take the gate of the enemy."
She fell down. Yes, sir. Why? He was a seed of Abraham that kept the Word of God. He taken every gate that come to him. Certainly. (It's getting late, I got to quit.)

L-82 Look, all these precious heroes (got a page full of them wrote down here), but all these precious heroes, the things that they did, they finally died.
But then come the real faith Seed, the Royal Seed of Abraham, Jesus, a promise. Abraham had Isaac, true, after the flesh. But the real Seed wasn't in that organization system, It was in that promise of God's Word, that He'd make him a father of nations, not through Isaac but through the Royal Seed, Jesus. That was the Royal Seed which... Actually, the seed of Abraham... Jesus was not a Jew, neither was He a Gentile. He was God.
