<TITLE>12. Par 108-117</TITLE>L-108 That's the comfort I get, is reading the Word, believing the Word, what the Word says. Jesus said, "Let every man's word be a lie, and Mine be True." Don't care what someone else says. I--I respect what they say. But when it comes to believing, if it's contrary to God's Word, I don't believe it. I do not believe nothing but what God's Word said, for, "Man shall live by every Word that comes out of the mouth of God," not just so much of the Word. He said, "all the Word," the whole Bible through. "Man shall live by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." Now, that's how man lives. That's God's provided way for him to live.

L-109   And Job was a prophet that lived even before the Bible was written. And notice, he was a prophet, and the Word of the Lord comes to the prophet. And then when he wanted comfort, he could find none. He went to his church, and his church didn't--didn't have any comfort for him, but accusation against him. But he stayed until God showed him the Word, by vision, and then he was comforted. And he stayed on his feet, and the lightnings flashed and the thunders roared. And he said, "Though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. He talked to me. Let death or anything else strike me, it doesn't make a bit of difference, 'cause I'll see God. I saw the vision of His Word."

L-110   Israel, one day, they was in Egypt, down there in captivity. And they needed a way, they needed a way out of Egypt. And, notice, we find out that a man got trained, by the name of Moses. He was trained in all the military might, next Pharaoh to be, down in Egypt. He was trained in all the military might. He thought someday he would deliver His people. And he come out, this mighty man, mighty in word and deed, Moses. And he tried with his military might, but it wasn't God's provided way. He lacked something.

L-111 But one day when he was on the backside of the desert, what he lacked, the burning bush had. And Moses saw a vision of the Word, that was God. And when he did, the vision spoke the Word. "I remember My promise," amen, "to Abraham, Isaac, and to Jacob. And I remember I promised them, and I've come down to deliver them." Amen. Oh, my! Then, as I spoke the other night at the Tabernacle, Moses become a prisoner to God.

L-112   Unless God can get you, a prisoner! Paul become a prisoner See, you can't look at what you think, you can't look what somebody else thinks. You've got to go just what He says do. You're a prisoner.

L-113 Paul knew that he was pressed in the spirit to go a certain place, when he didn't want to go. He knowed that the Spirit forbid him to go certain places. He knowed he had to hold his peace at many times.

L-114 That little old fortuneteller run out after him one day, a hollering around behind him. And Paul, with that Spirit of God in him, wanted to rebuke it, and day after day. And finally he got the message, "Rebuke him," and he turned around. He couldn't do it till God said so. Amen.

L-115 Oh, if the church could only be so in the glorious Presence of God, someday God will turn loose His Power into It, things will take place. But you can't mix your diet; you'll become a hybrid. Stay exactly what God said. Stay right in the Word, and God will vindicate It to be the Truth. Yes, sir.

L-116   God provided Israel a way. He anointed a prophet, sent a Pillar of Fire, and vindicated the Word that the prophet spoke, by signs, by signs of creation. "Moses, go stretch your stick out over the sea, out towards the East, and say, 'Let there come flies.'" And Moses, a man with the Word of God, knowing that a man cannot create, he stuck his pole back towards the East, like that, and said, "Let there be flies all over Egypt." And flies, created, and come into existence by the word of a man.

L-117 God uses a man for His instrument. He can only speak through man. "I am the vine, ye are the branches." That's right. He said...
