<TITLE>15. Par 148-161</TITLE>L-148 Now, He's a Saviour. So, there's nothing lost; something had to be lost, so He could display His attribute as a Saviour. You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-149   He was a Healer. So, there's nothing sick; so there had to be something sick, to display His attribute, to show that He was.

L-150 He was Father, see, and something had to be. He had to have a Son, to make Him Father. See?

L-151 And all these things displaying His attributes, there's nothing out of line. See? There's... God is making every wheel click just exactly right. Everything is all right. The Creator, hallelujah, the Creator is in the boat that we're sailing in.

L-152   "Though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, Whom I shall see for myself," said Job. That's right. David said, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I'll fear no evil, for Thou art with me. Though I make my bed in hell, He's there. Though I take the wings of the morning and fly away, He's there." Sailing over life's solemn main!
And lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
With partings, leave behind us
Footprints, (like This) on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
While sailing over life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
In seeing, shall take heart again, ("If God did that for that brother, He will do it for me.")
Let us be up and doing, then,
With a heart for any strife. That's what I'd...
Be not like dumb, driven cattle, have to be drove in anything.
Let's believe, be a hero in the strife!

L-153 Psalm Of Life. Longfellow's poem, A Psalm Of Life. I love it. It tells something. It manifests something. It's got real something into it, some meanings. I like something that's got color in it, got meaning. Music, poem, whatever it might be, I love it if it's real.

L-154   Now, they ought to have knowed He would have to, everything had to obey Him. We ought to know the same thing. Our bodies will have to obey His Word. "I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases." Is that the Word? Well, this body has got to obey that.

L-155 All I have to do is press the button. Amen. Sometime the button is on the knees, you know. But, I tell you, that sends a current through.

L-156 But that's all you do is believe it. God promised it. And as them waves had to obey Him, so does this have to obey Him. Insomuch, that He promised, after we are perished, "I'll raise him up again, at the last day."

L-157   I was combing these two or three hairs I got, here not long ago. And my wife said to me, setting back there, she said, "Billy, you're getting baldheaded."

L-158 I said, "But, you know, honey, I haven't lost a one of them."
She said, "What? You haven't lost a one of them?"
I said, "No."
She said, "Pray tell me where they are."

L-159 I said, "Then I want to ask you something. You tell me where they were before I received them. They are a substance. And wherever they were before I got them, they're there waiting for me to come to them." Right.

L-160 He said, "Not one hair of your head shall perish." Nothing will perish. Do you know you...

L-161   The most destructive thing we have is fire. But fire don't annihilate. It only burns the acids and oxygens until it turns right straight back to what it was before. God destroys nothing. You can't totally annihilate anything. Hallelujah! Right. You can't annihilate nothing. It'll turn back to its origination.
