<TITLE>06. Par 48-58</TITLE>L-48 Bless us together now as we study Your Word, for truly Thy Word is Truth. Thy and Thy Word are one. They cannot be separated. So we ask Your blessings upon us, Father, as we wait upon You to speak to us tonight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Now, if you will, I'd like to turn to Scriptures, and so forth.

L-49   I kind of laid down on the bed and went to sleep; the first thing you know, Billy come up and said, "Let's go."
Said, "You mean it's church time?" I had to pull out a little bunch of Scriptures I had used before, to--to speak on tonight.

L-50 And I thought maybe it'd be give out some cards and be praying for the sick, and so forth. I've noticed since I've come in here, two people laying on cots, perhaps come to be prayed for tonight.

L-51 Now, and--and Billy come back, said, "I just didn't get in in time, daddy." Talked about it. Said, "We'll--we'll try it tomorrow night."

L-52 I said, "All right, you get the brethren, get it, give some cards out."

L-53   So now I want you to turn with me, to the--the Book of Second Kings, and the 1st chapter. And then also I want you to turn in there to Jeremiah, the 8th chapter and 22nd verse. Let's read just a portion of this Scripture.
Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
But the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, and go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that you go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
Now therefore thus saith the LORD God, Thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou has gone up, but thou shall surely die. And Elijah departed.

L-54 And then in the Book of Jeremiah, the 8th chapter and the 22nd verse.
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is... the health of the daughter of my people not recovered?

L-55   I want to speak, if we would call it, on the subject: Why? It's a--it's a question, and God is asking this question.

L-56 And God is Eternal. We know He is. He is everlasting. He never had a beginning, or He can never have an end. Eternity never started, it never ends, because it's Eternal.

L-57 And God cannot change His mind nor His way. That's why that we, as people who will not accept creeds, if it's contrary to the Word, because we believe that God and His Word is the same. We believe that the Bible says in Saint John, the 1st chapter, that, "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." Therefore when God says anything, He cannot, tomorrow or any other time, ever take it back; when God is ever called on the scene, to make a decision. And His one decision is Eternal. It can never be changed.

L-58   And God was called to make a decision for the human race, in the garden of Eden, when the first sin was committed. Could He ever be able to redeem His lost child back into fellowship with Him again? And He fixed one program. It's never changed, by the way of the blood. And follow the Scriptures, it never did alter or change, and it never can, because it's God's decision, by the Blood. Although, we tried to alter it. We've tried to educate it. We've tried to denominate it. We've tried to do everything there is in man's law, to try to change That, like Adam did by fig leaves and so forth. But it still ever remains, the Blood is the only place of fellowship.
