<TITLE>10. Par 92-98</TITLE>L-92   He knew what he was born for. He knew where he stood. The thing he had in his hand made no difference. He stood there, and as those Philistines come. And that powerful lick, of that little shrimp standing up on a rock, to reach the top of their heads. When they run up there, he would knock one one way, and one the other. And there laid a thousand of them, laying dead there. It was a paradox, how that mule's, jaw held together. It was a paradox, how that little piece of brittle bone would break through those inch-thick helmets of brass and slay those Philistines, a thousand of them. And he still stood there with it in his hand, just as good as it was when he picked it up. It was a paradox. Amen and amen!

L-93 He is still the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is still the same God, to any man that's been called to take the Word of God. God will stand by him if he don't be a coward. Samson could have run, but he didn't do it. Right.

L-94   It was a paradox, when God called John the Baptist, the son of a priest, out of a great school of priests, a great seminary. Why didn't that follow? Which, it was customary that men followed the tradition of their fathers. Why, it was a paradox, when God took John to the wilderness, to tell him what the Messiah would be, to tell him what the sign of the Messiah would be, how he would know it. Instead of going to school, to learn what the Messiah would be; God took him to the wilderness, to tell him what the Messiah would be. It was quite a paradox, to them people in that day. Yes.

L-95   When the virgin birth came on, that was a paradox; how that God, in order to make Himself known to man, became man. How that God, the great Spirit... God, to me, was before; there wasn't even a light, there wasn't a meteor, there wasn't a--a--a--atom, there wasn't a molecule, there--there--there wasn't anything, and everything was God. Yes, that's how great He is. He is from Eternity, through Eternity. He always was God. He always will be God. And how the greatest of all Life become a little small germ in the womb of a woman, in order to take His Own law, to pay the penalty of His law, death; how God was manifested in the flesh, how the great God of Heaven changed His strain, come from being God, to be man, through the virgin birth, nobody can figure it out.

L-96   Science today can't tell you how that virgin birth was, but God did it. He came. No one was able; everyone was sexually born. Like the re-... one man the same as the rest of them, no one could help the other one. We was all in trouble, And then God Himself came down and was born, not of a Jew, not of a Gentile, but His Blood was God. Blood comes from the male sect. In this case, it was God, God the creator, created the Blood cell in the womb of Mary, and built Himself a tabernacle that Himself come down and lived in it.

L-97 "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself." The very word Christ means "the Anointed One." Oh! He was God, God in His fulness dwelt in Him. Amen. "And in Him dwelt the fulness of the Godhead bodily." That was a paradox. It staggered people in them day, "You being a man, make Yourself God." It still does it. But just the same, it's still the same paradox is carried on. He was God. He is still God. He always will be God. Yes, sir. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Yes, sir.

L-98   That virgin birth was a mystery to the people, they couldn't understand it, just like the new Birth is today. The new Birth is a mystery to the people. They can't understand it. They don't know what you mean. They have belittled it, bring it down, saying, "Well, just because you believe something." The devils believe the same thing, and tremble. It isn't what you believe; it's what God has actually done. The new Birth is a birth. It was a new. It was a paradox, when God brought new Life to the human race. To reject it, is Eternal separation. To receive it, is Eternal Life. You have...
