<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 Now, we found yesterday that in there that the seed that was sowed, the discord seed, that was... Satan sowed the discord when he told Eve a lie. And we find out to disbelieve one word of God spoken caused every death that ever was, every sickness, and all this trouble: just believing--misbelieving one word. She didn't exactly believe it. She tried to mix something with it, and nothing will mix with the Word of God. It's got to be that, because it's the original Seed.
God is eternal, and God is the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh among us."

L-7 Now, God and His Word is the self-same Being. Think of it. I believe that God will judge the world someday, not by the act of Congress, not by the act of a church, but by His Word He will judge the world. If we had to take church--organization church--which one of them is right? They different so much one from another. The Catholic differents from the Protestant, the Protestant differents from the orthodox, the ortho... Why, we different every one. So which one of them would be right? We would have a confusion in our mind constantly. A person wouldn't know what to do. And a just God, the judge of all the earth, will surely give us something to be judged by.

L-8 Now, I read in the Bible that "Heavens and earth will pass away, but God's Word shall not pass away." I read in the Bible that whosoever shall take anything out of It or add anything to it, his part will be taken out of the Book of Life, that it stands just the way it is. Many try to say, It's been tampered with, it's been done this a-way or that way. I do not believe that. I believe there's got to be some kind of a standard that God will judge the--the church by, or the world. There's got to be some standard. It cannot be in church organization, because they different. Who would know what to do? But there is a standard, and that's His Word. I believe that God watches over His Word. I believe that that Word is punctuated exactly the way God wants It--the Bible. It's God's Word to the people. There's where reason I believe in that Word. And I believe the Word is a Seed, and if that Seed is sowed in the right ground and watered by the Holy Spirit, It'll bring forth of Its kind. Any promise that God made, God will do it.

L-9 When we see God heal a man... Here a few days ago in our church, I'd give out I was going to preach there on a Sunday (last Sunday, a week it is now, a week from last Sunday). They brought a little girl in there on a stretcher. And they'd called me in the nighttime on the road and said, "The girl cannot live," the cancer was so bad. About seventeen years old... "She can't even get there. She's going to die before she gets there." It was a pitiful case, a lovely little child of seventeen years old.
To prove something to my church, I never touched the child at all. I never as much as touched her. I walked in. Laying on a stretcher... 'Course there was other sick people, but I was concerned about the child, to catch her spirit when I spoke to her. And she seemed like a very fine little girl. I see no reason why that child should fill a premature grave; and that has to be the devil trying to take her life. So I never touched the child at all, went right to the pulpit with the Word, and stayed right with the Word. And the Word healed her so instantly until she got up and walked away, is all right now, living like anybody else: can't find a trace of it anywhere. Never even touched the Word--or touched her.
See, the Word went forth, and she believed the Word, and the Word is God's life and God's power. And the Word is what does it. The Word heals the sick.
