<TITLE>12. Par 131-146</TITLE>L-131 But God's Word forever will remain the same. Yes. That's something that cannot be moved, something that you can depend on. It's certain. God says anything, it's certain to happen.

L-132 If He said, in the garden of Eden, for a Redeemer, He would send the Messiah, it was certain to come. Though four thousand years they waited, but He got there. He had to come because it was a promised Word of God.

L-133   God promised to send Him back again. He'll be here. I don't care how many infidels and skeptics rise, whatever they do, how much communism spreads. Jesus Christ will come, and will get a Church that's Blood-washed, and will take it on a sky-ride into Heaven. Why? It's certain to be. God's Word said so.

L-134 "If thou canst believe, all things are possible." That's certain. God said so, and it can't move, can't be shook away. God said so, if you'll just stay with it, now. And have faith in it, believe it.

L-135 It's not an uncertain sound. God cannot give an uncertain sound. Creeds can give an uncertain sound. Denominations can preach an uncertain sound. But God cannot utter an uncertain sound. And this Word is God. And it's not no uncertainty about It. It's every bit certain.

L-136   Now, the great Church is armored by the Word. Now, when Jesus come, did He use that same armor? He certainly did.

L-137 When Satan come to Him, in all of his strength, and he said, "If thou be the Son of God, do certain, certain things."

L-138 He said, "It is written..." Right back to the Word. Satan tried Him a little higher. But, Jesus, right back with the Word, "It is written..."

L-139 There He remained, upon that Word, showing to us as an example. As He said in First Corinthians, first... Saint John 14:13, "I have given you an example." And that is an example, that we should emphatically, we should perfectly put our trust in the Word of God. Let everything else be a lie. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-140 That's one thing that's certain. God made the promise. God is going to keep the promise. They say, "How can this thing happen? How can He get a bunch of people together, with Rapturing grace, to go up?" I don't know how He will do it. It's not my business to ask how He do it. It's my business just to be ready for it. He promised it. It's going to happen. Fortified His Church by the Word.

L-141   And the first thing was reason. Now they say, "Isn't it just reasonable now, if I belong to this church, isn't that just as good as that church?"

L-142 There is only one Church you can belong to. You'll never join It. You might join the lodge, Methodist lodge, and a Presbyterian lodge, and the Baptist lodge, and the Pentecostal lodge. But you're born into the Church of Jesus Christ, so there's the Church.

L-143 Those are lodges, where people come together, like crows set on this limb, and doves on this limb, and--and so forth. That's your fellowship you have together, when you're sharing on the same diet.

L-144   But when it comes to the Church of Jesus Christ, there's only one avenue. That's Birth. Birth!

L-145 It's just like a person, like I've said many times, like a blackbird setting on the limb, trying to put peacock feathers in his wings, and say, "You see, I'm a strutting peacock." See? He stuck them feathers in, himself. If he was genuine peacock, his nature would put forth that kind of a feather.

L-146 If the Church of the living God is the Church of the living God, it'll put forth the Word of the living God. You don't have to add peacock feathers nowhere. And every feather in there will be a joined to a peacock. You can believe that. And every feather that's joined into the Church of God will be the Word of God. He will never inject anything else but the Word. Amen. Cause, the nature of the Spirit puts out only the Word. Amen. I getting to feel religious. Right.
