<TITLE>06. Par 25-29</TITLE>L-25 Now, if one little twist of God's Word caused every death, every sorrow, every heartache, everything, the troubles we've been through, just to twist one little Word of God, and they didn't get by with it...
It's cost us six thousand years of heartaches, and even the Son of God that come to the earth and died to redeem the human race. Every war, every heartache, every unwedded mother, everything that ever happened wrong in the world was because one person disbelieved, believed ninety-nine and ninety-nine percent of God's Word, and just twisted a little teeny bit at the end, and caused all this. Then one twist anywhere... Don't think you'll ever get back anything less than the entire Word of God. Believe It. Stand on It. We got to say just as It said.

L-26 So God approaches His people by signs and wonders. Now, lean not the way of the heathens." Now, the heathen is actually, by the interpretation, is unbeliever. See? Learn not the way of the heathen, the unbeliever. Stay away from him. See? Don't fellowship with it at all. He's a unbeliever; let him be marked an unbeliever. Can dark... Can light and darkness exist at the same time? Can it be dark when the sun's a shining? Never. Which is the most powerful? Can dark put out the sun? No, sir. The sun puts out the darkness (See?), light. That's right and wrong. So wrong can never exist in the state of truth, and neither can a lie exist in the--in the face of the truth. The truth is always the same. A lie twists around and is still a lie. See? So just, it's truth.

L-27 And do not learn the way of the unbeliever. Now, if he's an unbeliever, let him be what he wants to be; but you be a believer. "Heathen" means "unbeliever," somebody who does not believe what? Oh, say, "I believe God." If you don't believe God's Word, then you don't believe God. That's right.
"He that says he loves Me, and keeps not My commandments is a liar, and the truth's not in him." So then, we got to believe God's Word. That proves we love God, when we believe His Word. If you say that you loved me, and didn't do what I said, or keep my saying; or I said I loved you, and vice versa, why (You see?), it would prove we didn't do it. We had not confidence in one another. So the--the creation has got to have confidence in the Creator, and through that puts a union.

L-28 It's just like taking a wire and connecting it with a--a dynamo, where there's current; or taking a wire and sticking it in a socket where there is no current. See, it's the difference; it's just a dead wire; no matter how much socket it's in, it's still... If there's no current in there, it's still a dead wire. And as long as we're trying to connect up with something that hasn't got any life or any truth in it, it'll still be a dead thunder with no lightning in it. That's right. But we got to get connected with the Word, the Word of God. That's the truth of God.

L-29 And He said don't lean their way, don't learn their ways. Keep away from them. Keep away from them. And dismayed... Do not be dismayed, for they are dismayed. Dismayed comes from the word of discouraged. What is it? The unbeliever is discouraged. What with? The signs of heaven. It just makes an unbeliever just pouting angry, when you speak about signs and wonders and so forth. They don't believe in it. You go to talking about Divine healing: "Oh, our church don't teach that. We keep away from that." Baptism of the Holy Ghost: "Oh, that was just for the apostles only." See? Don't learn their ways. Stay away from them. Learn the Word, stay with the Word. The Word is Truth.
Now, don't learn their ways, because they are dismayed with the signs of heaven. That's just exactly what the Bible said here in Jeremiah the 10th chapter and the 2nd verse, and the last phrase of the verse. Said, "They are dismayed with them." They are--they are discouraged with them. They just... It discourages them.
