<TITLE>22. Par 162-169</TITLE>L-162 Now, remember, His--His Word is a Sword. The Bible said so. It's a Sword. Hebrews the 4--4:12, if you want to put that down. Hebrews 4:12, said He's, "The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword." Let me stop here just a minute. Listen. "The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the asunder of the bone, and so forth, the marrow, and a Discerner of the thoughts of the heart." Is that right? That--that--that... Stop just a minute, think now, "A Discerner of the thoughts of the heart." Does the Scripture lie? It cannot. If It contradicts Itself, it's not worth the paper it's wrote on; it's a deceiver. If God's promises contradict themselves, what--what you going to believe?

L-163 Like the Indian boy that come just recently to Doctor Morse Reedhead and them, the president of the Sudan Mission, and stood there and he said, "Remember," said, "we know Jesus lives," he said, Doctor Reedhead said--said, "'cause He lives in my heart. That's right."
He said, "Yes, and Mohammed lives in my heart too." Said, "We can produce just as much psychology in Mohammedanism as Christianity can." But said, "Well, I want to see those marks of sign, signs of Mark 16 fulfilled."
He said, "Oh, that," said, "you're--you're just..." Said, "You see, sir, from the 9th chapter--9th verse of the 16th chapter of Mark, is not inspired like the rest. That's just put in there by the Vatican."
He said, "Then maybe the rest of It ain't inspired. So what kind of a Book you reading?" Said, "All the Koran's inspired." What a shame. What a disgrace for a Christian church. That's either the Word of God or It isn't the Word of God. If you'll just put faith in It, you watch It work. You believe It; accept It. Yes, sir, if we believe It.

L-167 What? A Discerner of the thoughts of the heart. Now look, "In the beginning was the Word; the Word was with God," St. John 1, "and the Word was made flesh, Christ." And when He come here, He looked down upon the people. A little woman touched His garment; He turned around and said, "Who touched Me?" Peter rebuked Him. He looked around and said, Who touched Me?"
Said, "Everybody's touching You."
Looked around and said, "But I perceive I got weak." Looked out, "Your a blood issue has stopped." What? The Word of God perceiving the thought...

L-169 Them Pharisees says; in their heart they said, "He's Beelzebub. See, He... That's what He is. That's just exactly."
He turned around and said, "I'll forgive you for that." Jesus looking upon the audience and perceiving their thought, what was it? The Word, the Word made flesh, a Discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart. That's what the Word of God is now. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. See?
You--you've got to get the living Word in you to have the living God in you, because the Word here is God when It's made flesh in you, made Spirit and Life in you. When It goes into your flesh and your faith, and becomes Life, then you are a living example. You're an epistle of God, read of all men. You won't have It like Christ, not the Fullness, because It's divided up on the day of Pentecost.
