<TITLE>08. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 See, when God once acts, He's called to the scene to act (Now, don't forget this.), when God is one time called to--on the scene to act, the way He acts the first time, every time that that case is called again, or any case similar to it, He's got to act the same way He did the first time, or He acted wrong when He acted first. Now, do you understand real clear? My Indian friends understand that real clear?
Look. In other words, if--if a man sinned, and God said, "I'll--I'll save him under the shed blood," that's... Now, the next man come, He's got to save him too, the next man, the next man, every man. And then if a man's sick, and God healed the first man on the basis of his faith in God, that's the way God healed the first man. And now, every man that comes afterwards, he--with faith believing, God's got to do the same thing. If He didn't, He acted wrong on the first man. Now, you know what I mean? He was wrong when He acted first. See? So He's got to act the same each time.

L-27 Now, you say, "Well now, maybe this didn't mean that." Don't you never believe that. Every Word that God spoke He means eternally. See? The Word is God. See, so, it cannot fail.
Now, you say, "Well, it doesn't make any difference." Yes, it does, friends.
Now, look. When Lot was called out of Sodom... You people remember the story? Sure. Now, the Angel said to Lot and his wife, his family, "Don't look back." And now, think of that mother, Lot's wife. Her children were burning up down there in the judgments of God. Her grandchildren were burning up in the judgments of God. And she merely turned her head to look back, and she stands there yet today as a pillar of salt. We know that. See? It does make a difference. When God says anything, He means just what He says. Now, how many in this building, both Indian and white, that believe that God means just exactly what He says, that He--He cannot change, He means what He says? All right.

L-28 Now--now, before we approach His Word, now I want... I'll speak to you just a little bit on the Word. Now, we'll never leave the Word. We're to stay... I believe the Word. God can do many things that He hasn't written in His Bible. But as long as I... If I just see Him do what He's written, that's enough for me. Just let Him... Just right like that. I--I believe that; then we know we're right.
Now, to my ministering brethren here, the clergymen, so that... They're your... That's your pastors. Now, in the Old Testament God had a way of finding out, or the people had a way of finding out whether a message was right or not. Now, when a prophet prophesied, or a dreamer dreamed a dream, they took him down to the temple where Aaron's breastplate was that had all them breast stones: twelve. And when this prophet prophesied against that stone, or the dreamer told his dream, if... That's called the Urim Thummim. And if them lights didn't flash over that Urim Thummim, then no matter how real it'd sound, it was wrong. The Urim Thummim had to speak whether it was right or wrong. You know that, brethren? That's right. Well now, that was for the Levitical priesthood. Now, what God did there... Now, He never changes, remember. He can't change. He has to stay...
