<TITLE>03. Par 20-31</TITLE>L-20 And these few words, and these texts, Scriptures that I have written down here for a little Message, tonight, may it be to the honor of Christ. May His people, in hearing It, receive faith, for truly we believe we're living in the last hours of the last day. The sun has been setting for quite a while. God's long-suffering has held it up. It's the shadows are gathering now. And we pray, God, that You'll let us realize this more than ever before in life.

L-21 Bless those people who raised their hands. Forgive our sins. Give us faith in Thy Word and the Coming of Thy Son. For we ask it in His Name and for His glory. Amen.

L-22   [Someone says, "And they asked if you would pray. There is a lady in the back, she was very, very sick, and has fainted."--Ed.] Just a moment. There is a lady way back in the back, that's fainted, I believe it is, and she is sick. Let us just pray.

L-23 Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus Thy Son, may the power that raised that young man that night, that sit all night long, listening to Paul preach, may the same power that raised him up to health again, may it do likewise for this our sister who fainted, perhaps because of the heat, and is back there sick. Let the Holy Spirit, Lord, of Life, come upon her and strengthen her mortal life. Grant this, Lord. We commit it to You now, in the Name of Jesus Christ Thy Son. Amen.

L-24 Let me hear from you. If it gets worse, I'll go back and see her.

L-25   Now over in the Book of Saint John, the 12th chapter and the 32nd verse, I wish to read for a little portion of Scripture, just in the way of make a text, to build a context. And I do see that it's difficult for you to hear me, I can tell the way you're acting, a rebound in--in the building, and I'll try to speak just as plain as I can. I want to read this text, Jesus speaking:
Then I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all man unto me.

L-26 I want to take this for a text: There Is Only One Way Provided By God For Anything. One way God has provided to meet everything. Now, any other way, besides this way, would be a perverted way, to God's. God can only have one way to do anything. His first way is always the only way that He can ever do it. For, God, making a choice or a decision, must forever remain with that decision. And if He changes that decision, for a better way, then it shows that God is not God, He is not infinite, He found something better than He knew at the first place. He, He doesn't change. He makes His ways perfect. His Words are perfect. And any way that takes away, or adds to, anything that God has provided, is wrong.

L-27 I believe, in the last Book of the Bible, called the Revelation, it's written, "If any man shall add one word, or take a Word from It, his same, his part will be taken from the Book of Life."

L-28   And now, therefore, God has made a way, and a perfect way, and we must walk right with it, not trying to make It any better, not trying to take anything away from It, inject anything, or take anything from It. We must take It just the way that God has placed It. Anything else is wrong.

L-29 Even in the Book of Genesis, the beginning, God said, in Genesis 1, talking about nature. He said, "Let every seed bring forth of its kind." Every seed must keep in its kind. Now, to change that, would be to do something God said not to do.

L-30 And now we find out, and now look at man, what he has done by crossing God's way of life. We want to take this for a background, to say what I want to say to you about the Lord Jesus. See, when man... When God made a seed, He made it perfect, and now man has tried to inject something to that seed.

L-31   For instance, today, coming up, I noticed in southern Indiana, and all up through Indiana, and along, there were, what we said, "hybrid corn." And what a fine big ear that corn is, but it isn't any good. It looks better, but it isn't better. It's absolutely no good at all.
