<TITLE>07. Par 65-75</TITLE>L-65   Let's just remember another person right away here, or group of people, that's Israel. When Israel had put their place, theirselves in position, to take the stand for God. And there was coming a death angel one night, that was going to take the firstborn of every house. And how that Israel was even commanded to remember that the blood was on the doorpost. That was the thing that held back the wrath of God, and kept there, them alive, was the blood on the door. It was a memorial. And it, always, it's still a memorial, the blood on the doorpost and on the lintel. What a memorial night that was! And it was to be rehearsed down through the--the ages that was to come, that God, at that night, made a difference between the righteous and the unrighteous.

L-66   Oh, I don't know whether it'd be night or not, but there's coming a day when God is going to show the difference between the righteous and the unrighteous. And it'll be a memorial to us, to know that the Blood is certainly upon the lintel and the doorpost. And wherever you look, or your understanding; you look with your eyes, and see with your heart. That's right. You'll remember you're looking through the Blood of the Lord Jesus, the way He would look through it. What a time! They were...

L-67   Israel had another thing they could always remember, that when they took their step upon what they heard Moses say, that great vindicated prophet with the Word of God, and when they took their stand to march. Because, they seen God vindicate that the message that he was bringing was the truth, and it was according to the Scriptures, and God was with him. And he had met this One Who had no name, called the I AM. He had really met Him, because they had seen Him working with Moses.

L-68 And then they had another great memorial, that when they started on the march, there went a Pillar of Fire before them, to lead the way. What a memory they could think of, a memorial thing, that they didn't need no compass. Amen. What did I say? They didn't need no compass. They had the Light of God to lead them.

L-69 What a memorial it was to the wise men, how they needed no compass, and a Star led them.

L-70   What a memorial it is to us today, to have a Holy Ghost to lead us; not some creed, or some fashion, or something to lead us, or some man-made something. But the Holy Spirit comes in with the tie-post of the Word, and confirms His Word, and proves that it is--is the truth. What a memorial to our hearts, to know that the living God still lives. Oh!

L-71 Remembering Him, what He did, led them all the way to the promised land, by this way.

L-72   Elijah had a great thing to remember God by, when he had done his duty, exactly what God told him to do, to command the rain, not even dew to fall until he'd call for it. Went up and set down by the brook Cherith, in there. He stayed there for all this time. How he could remember that! How was he going to get food, through these years? But God served him with the ravens. A God of Heaven! No question, "Where did the ravens get the food?" We don't know, can't tell. The only thing, that he just knowed, he just committed hisself to God's Word, what He promised him. And God took care of the rest of it.

L-73 That's all we have to do. Brethren, that's all we need. It just takes Him at His word. How is He going to do it? I don't know. But, you see, we try to inject our own ideas, and there is where we mess up.

L-74 What if he'd said, "This other brook down the hill would be just as good, 'cause it's got more water in it"? Huh-uh. No.

L-75   What if Abraham would have thought that he ought to take Sodom? It never would have happened right. But Abraham took the way the Lord led him, his one promise he had to hold to.
