<TITLE>02. Par 9-17</TITLE>L-9 So we believe that the Word, this Bible, is the Word of God, and, therefore, that--that you can hang your soul upon any phase of It. That's the only way you can have faith, is to believe you got... Faith has to have an anchoring place somewhere, and it must anchor on a place. And nothing could be more solid than the Word of God, because the Word is God. That's what the Bible teaches. Therefore, when God says anything in Here, a believer can punctuate It with an "amen," anything that He says.

L-10   Now, because Him being infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, He cannot be one without the other. And to be God, He has to be all of it.

L-11 Now, therefore, as being finite like we are, this year we can work on something and we think we got it perfect. Next year, or maybe tomorrow, we have to change our mind. It's different. We found something better, because, we, we're finite.

L-12 But He is infinite. So when He says a Word, it's forever that way. It can never be improved. It can never be taken back. If God was called on the scene, in any case, and the way God acted on that scene, the first time, He must forever act the same way when He's called on the scene again.

L-13 Because, if He'd act different than He did the first time, then there is something wrong. See? He... It could not be perfect. See? Therefore He acted wrong when He acted the first time, if He acts second time different than He did the first.

L-14   Therefore, when God made a remedy for man to be saved, in the garden of Eden. He... They tried to improve His remedy, through six thousand years, and can never touch it. He made, upon the basis of the shed Blood of an innocent victim, and He's never changed it. We've tried to educate people to Christ. We've tried to denominate them to Christ. We've tried all kinds of systems, but they've all failed. There's only one place that man can meet on a common ground, and of worship, and that is under the shed Blood of Jesus Christ. It's been that way from the beginning, 'cause He cannot change it. It's always the Blood, the Blood.

L-15   And today when we think that we're different from the other fellow, and so forth, it just does not work. We must still accept that basis of the shed Blood. And therefore, when God was called on the scene, to heal a man, He healed a man upon the basis of his faith. And when he's called on the scene again, He will heal the next man the same way, or He acted wrong. If God ever did heal a man because he believed, and then the next man calls with the same kind of faith, God is obligated to do the same thing to the next man. If not, He's respecter of persons, and acted wrong in the first place. So, you see, back to the Word. I--I believe it with all my heart.

L-16   Now we are expecting God to do great things for us. And we want, when we leave, to see a blessing left in this city. And I know you'll be a blessing to me, for wherever two or three are gathered in His Name, He promised to be there. Now, if that isn't so, then we're all lost and the Bible is wrong. That makes Jesus Christ here now. If that isn't so, then what are we preaching, what are we believing? See? He is here. "Wherever two or three are assembled in My Name, I'm in the midst of them." Now, we must act then, and believe, and--and believe that He is here, and act like He's here. And remember, He watches us after we leave here, also.

L-17   And we're trusting that every unsaved person will be saved during this campaign. We're trusting that there will not be an empty seat, in every one of these churches here that's represented, from this time on. And I trust that there will be an old-fashion, God-sent revival break out, through Tucson here, that'll just send thousands of souls into the Kingdom of God. I believe that's the will of God. That's His desire tonight.
