<TITLE>14. Par 124-131</TITLE>L-124 When the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the earth, according to the Bible, our names were put on that Book. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him, and all the Father has given Me will come." Just scatter the Light!

L-125   Watch when that Light hit those priests and all their intellects. What happened? They said, "He is Beelzebub, a fortuneteller, a devil."

L-126 He said, "You are of your father, the devil." That's where it come from.

L-127 But when this little, immoral woman talking to God, and how could that predestinated seed be anchored in such a--a vile person as that? It's a paradox. But watch when the Light struck it. Said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Now, prophet, is where the Word of the Lord comes, to the prophet, see. And that was her sin, and He the prophet had the Word. So she said, "I perceive that You are a prophet. Now we know that when the Messiah cometh, He'll do these things."
He said, "I am He, that speaks to you."

L-128 Brother, she left that bucket, and away she went. Her testimony saved her city, Sychar. Now that was a paradox, when God, when Jesus did that. Yes, sir.

L-129   It was a paradox, when God put His Spirit in the pentecostals, the poor fishermen and uneducated people, instead of Caiaphas the high priest. And, oh, how He put His Gospel! It was a paradox, when God chose the way that's called "heresy, crazy," people staggered, and jumping and carrying on, and acting like they were insane. They called them "crazy." It's a paradox, when God would by-pass the great high synagogues, the great Sanhedrin courts and the great high-scholared priests, and pick up a bunch of ignorant, unlearned fishermen that hadn't knowed no more than just to believe Him and to take His Word, and see the results. And it pleased God to by-pass what they called the most holy thing in the world, to pick up a bunch of "low trash," it was called, and the way that they were worshiping, called "heresy," to make the way of salvation. Yes. Now, that's the truth, you can't deny it. Paul said, "In the way that's called 'heresy,' that's the way I worship my God, the God of our fathers; the way that's called 'heresy.'" Yes.

L-130   It was a paradox, when that great Pillar of Fire that come down from Heaven, an Angel of the Lord, a Pillar of Fire led the children of Israel through the wilderness. That was a paradox, that talked to Moses out there in the burning bush. And it was a paradox. And eight hundred years later... and according to the Scripture, in Saint John 8:58, if you want to know where it's at. You want to know where it started out, first, was Exodus 13:31. And it was a paradox, when, after all that journey and all that time, that here Jesus said, that, "Before Abraham was, I AM." I AM was in the burning bush. I AM was the One that talked to Moses.

L-131   It was a strange thing, that after His death, burial, and resurrection. And Saul, that little hook-nosed Jew, crabbed, and nasty temper, and even put some of the Church to death; on his road down to Damascus, to arrest those people. And down there they had a prophet named Ananias, and was down there prophesying to them, a prophet of the Lord, telling them the Word of the Lord, 'cause He come to him. And while Pastor Ananias was down there, prophesying, Saul went down to get him. And right in the middle of the day, that same Pillar of Fire that come down and led Israel, struck Saul to the ground. And all the people, standing around, could not see It. But It was so bright, to Paul, till It put his eyes out. Amen. He was blind. It was so real to him, and the rest of them couldn't see It. It's a paradox. My! Oh!
