<TITLE>23. Par -</TITLE>L-37-6 Remember, when Judges, every man done the way he wanted. There was no man--no man could make that Word live. There was no prophet. The Word of the Lord always comes to the prophet. That's right. And he's always hated. Only a little group that love him. And... See? But I mean, there was always that.
God doesn't change His policy; He cannot and be God. If God ever says anything or does anything, He must do the next time. When that crisis arrives, if He don't act the second time the way He did the first time, He acted wrong the first time. And who will accuse God of acting wrong? Who are you can lay sin to God? That's what Jesus said: "Which one of you can accuse Me of sin?"
What is sin? Unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already."
"Which one of you can show Me that I haven't fulfilled everything Messiah should do?" See? Nobody spoke a word. He had... The Messiah was a Prophet, and He'd proved that He was that. They hadn't had a prophet for hundreds of years, since Malachi, and here He rose on the scene. He was a mystic to the people and a stumbling Block to their church, 'cause He said, "Behold I lay in Zion, a Cornerstone, a precious One, tried, oh, a stumbling Stone. (Yeah.) But whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." That's right. There He was. And they... Just exactly fulfilled Scripture. But those who believed Him had an absolute.

L-38-3 Little Martha, when she seen Lazarus come from the grave, she knew Who that was. Even before It done it, she had the absolute of knowing, "I believe that Thou art the Son of God that was to come into the world. Even now, though my brother be dead, just say the word; God will do it." Amen. She was absolutely positive. That's right.
When he said that, and she meant it from her heart, He said, "Where have you buried him?"
Said, "Come and see."
There He stood there with a vision, 'cause He said, "I do nothing until the Father shows Me first," St. John 5:19.
Sent Him away from--went away from Lazarus' house. They sent after Him to come pray. He knew Lazarus was going to die; and after the amount of time, He said, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth."
They said, "He does well."
He said, "He's dead; and for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there." (They'd of been asking Him to pray for him.) Then He comes back, said, "But I go wake him." Oh, my. Not, "I'll go and see what I can do." "I'll go wake him." Why? "The Father's already showed Me just what to do."

L-38-8 Went down to the grave. There stood a Man; there stood God in flesh, that could've said to the stone, "Dissolve." and it would've dissolved; but He said to them women, them poor little women, little young women, said, "Take away the stone."
You got something to do too. See? And they rolled away the stone; and it made them sick, he was so stinky. There He stood there. Oh, my. I can see Him straighten that little frail frame up because the Bible said there's no beauty we should desire Him; He wasn't very much to look at. See?

L-39-2 Just like David. He was chosen king when he was just a little ruddy thing. See? All them great big fellows said, "Wouldn't he look pretty with a crown on his head?"
"Take this older son," Jesse said.
Samuel said, "God refused him." Brought all of his sons up.
Said, "Haven't you got any?"
"Yeah, we got one, but he wouldn't look like a king. Why, he's a little bitty, stoop-shouldered, ruddy-looking fellow."
"Go get him." And as soon as he come walking before that prophet, the Spirit fell on him. He run with that oil and poured it on his head, said, "This is your king." That's it. Yes, sir.
