<TITLE>14. Par 52-55</TITLE>L-52 Joshua, after the death of Moses, come down to the river of Jordan. He needed a bridge also to cross. But God give him a power, a Spirit that stopped the river, and held it up there in the mountains till they walked across on dry land. Praise God.
Daniel, right in the stand of duty--standing there as a prophet before God, speaking the Word of God, and refused to bow his knee to any other thing. Right in the line of duty, was throwed into a lion's den with hungry angry lions. He needed a go-between. He needed a fence to fence him off from the lions. But God sent an Angel, God's provided way for him. Daniel wanted a fence maybe, but God sent a li--sent an Angel that provided the way for him. How wonderful God is, if we'll just walk in His provided way.

L-53 The Hebrew children needed a hose, a fire hose, down in the fiery furnace one day; also standing loyal, right in the line of duty. They needed a hose to put the fire out, but God sent them the fourth Man: startled the king. God's provided way.
The wise men from the east was looking for a star of Jacob to rise. They were looking for a guide to take them to it. And they wanted a guide; and God sent them a star. He guided them right exactly to the little King.
I can hear the wife of Belzar saying, "Say, Belzar, where you going?"
"I'm going all the way to Jerusalem" Oh, my. That was in the east, way back over in India. Was over there recently; they still set the same way, the wise men in the streets by the three. And said, "I'm going out." Well, they had to have a compass to guide them.
You say, "Well, here, you forgot your compass."
"I'm not taking it this time. I'm going God's provided way." Amen. "I'm going the provided way." Led him right straight to the young King that was born.

L-54 One day the world wanted a Saviour. They needed a Saviour. God provided His Son. Jesus, a Saviour, made a Sacrifice. He was a go-between. He was to stand between the sinner and the punishment that God had put upon him; stand between death and life, hell and heaven. He was God's go-between, a Saviour.
After He was dead, buried, and rose again, the church needed a power to preach His Gospel. Now, He did not give them an education. He did not build them a school. He did not form them an organization, but He give them the Holy Ghost. That was God's provided Way.

L-55 God has a provided way. We try to make some other way, but God's got a provided way. It's always best to follow His way. "You shall receive power after you've got your Bachelor of Art. You shall receive power after you become a deacon."
"You shall receive power after this the Holy Ghost is come upon you. Then you shall be witnesses of Me in Jerusalem, Judaea, (and Victoria), and to the uttermost parts of the earth." Yes, sir.
After two thousand years of unbelieving, and falling away, and creeds, and doctrines, and dogmas being added to the church, they needed a sign to find out whether He still lived or not. Oh, my. God had a provided way, the proof of His resurrection, a sign that He had promised to Abraham's royal seed.
He promised to Abraham's royal seed that the same sign that Abraham seen (as we took last night), his royal seed would see the same sign. And we're living in the evening time when the prophet said, "It shall be Light in the evening time."
