<TITLE>07. Par 64-77</TITLE>L-64 What science said, "There is no rain up there. We can shoot the moon with our instruments. There is no rain there. How is rain going to come down?" If God said that there would be rain fall, God can put rain in the skies, if He said so.

L-65 Noah went right about his business, relaxed, and preparing an ark for the saving of the people. For, there was an absolute given to the people, that they would be saved if they took God's provided way for this absolute.

L-66   So, after, sometimes, when we've accepted the absolute... I would like to say this because of the parents of these children, of what I want to tell you just in a moment. Now, if...

L-67 Sometimes, when we have accepted it, we are put to trial, to see if we really believe It. We God usually does that. And God works...

L-68 He cannot change His program, because His Word is Himself. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. The same yesterday, today, and forever." So, it's always God.

L-69   When He's called upon a scene, to act, and the decision that He makes, He has to ever remain with that decision. He cannot change it, because He's infinite.

L-70 Now, I can change my decision, you can, because we're finite. Therefore, we make mistakes.

L-71 But God cannot change His decision, because He's infinite, and His--His decision is perfect, always. He cannot say, "I was wrong here, and I'll change My decision," because that would show God could change. And God cannot change, neither can His Word change. He's the same, always.

L-72   So, God gave Noah a trial, after accepting His absolute. Noah went into the ark. God shut the door behind him. No doubt they said, "Now, in the morning, there'll be black clouds. And there'll be thunder and lightning, and the rains will fall." But, you know, the next day, the sun come up just as bright as it ever did.

L-73 I imagine, the borderline believers said, "We'll go up. The old man could have been right about that. So, maybe science was wrong, that there--there could be some rain up there." But, remember, it had never rained.

L-74 But, then, the second day, the sun was just as bright as it always was; third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and even to the seventh day. But Noah had climbed up in the upper room, so he could watch the skies. And on that seventh morning, when there come a time, when people had refused God's absolute way of salvation, of saving of the lives of the people, the rains begin to fall and the sewers filled up. And the--the boat begin to rise, and it took Noah and them to safety. Sure, because they were trusting in God's Word, the absolute, God's Word of promise.

L-75 No matter how bad it seems like, and how dark it gets, still believe your absolute.

L-76   Moses, why, his, he had tried to save the life of those poor Hebrews. And they were almost as bad off, or just as bad off, as these two children are that we're trying to save tonight. They were slaves, and they killed them just at random, whenever they wanted to. And Moses felt in his heart that that wasn't the--the will of God. So, he--he tried to do it through education. He tried to do it through his own efforts, and he found out that he miserably failed. He did something himself that wasn't right, because he took another man's life. And that was not right.

L-77 Then, he went into the wilderness and was there for forty years. But, one day, he was herding sheep on the backside of the desert, and there was a Light in a bush. And when Moses got near this Light, the Voice of God spoke to him out of this Pillar of Fire laying back in this bush, and said, "Moses. Moses."
And he said, "Here am I, Lord."
