<TITLE>11. Par 83-92</TITLE>L-83   Let's check this vision just a few moments, before we close. Each of these Creatures, having six wings, we notice. We're going to take these wings, first. "With two He covered His face." Why did He do that? Think of it! Even holy Seraphims, in the Presence of God, have to cover Their holy faces, to stand in His Presence. That never knowed sin, never did sin, don't, there is no way for Them to sin, but yet, in the Presence of God, covered Their holy faces.

L-84 And then we, mortal, sinful, corruptible men, will try to in-put something in, and add to His Word and to His purpose, and pass judgment upon some of them who are trying to follow what the Lord said do; no respects of His Word, "I know the Word says that, 'but you must be born again,' but I tell you what I think!" You've got no thought coming. God has spoken, and that settles it.

L-85   Peter said, on the Day of Pentecost, "The promise is to you, to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." What was the promise, of what? The Holy Spirit that was poured out. What startled the people? Because they heard them speaking in languages that they knew not, and they were staggering like drunk man, under the influence of the Holy Spirit. And they was mocking, making fun. And Peter said, "The promise is unto you," when they wanted to repent, "and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

L-86 How many? "As many as the Lord our God shall ever call." Now, the church might call you, your conscience might call you. But when God calls you, He knows how to dress His servant.

L-87   And sinful men, scholarly, educated, influential in their denominations, stand in your garb of denomination and try to inject something with that pure, unadulterated Word? Remember, the Word is God. And if a Seraphim, that knowed no sin, had to cover His face, to stand in the Presence of God, how are we going to appear that Day; when we stand in the Presence of His Word, preached and thoroughly vindicated by the Holy Ghost, and still walk away and say, "It's a telepathy or It's something like that"?

L-88 What happened to this king, a great man, a believer, a God-blessed man? He was smitten with leprosy, which is a type of sin, unbelief. No cure for it; only Christ. And he died in that same shape.

L-89   Now the people doesn't have reverence for Him. Why isn't it that people don't reverence God? Reverence was only pertains to God, spoke of twice in the entire Bible, both times pertaining to God. Notice, the reason they don't do it is because they are not fully convinced that It is God. They are not fully convinced.

L-90 Neither was Uzziah; he wasn't fully convinced that God kept every Word. Because God had blessed him, he thought, "That satisfies me. If I got a blessing from God, I can do what I want to."

L-91 You can't do it. You cannot do it. You, teen-ager, can't do it, no matter how much popularity you are, what a fine girl, a fine boy, nice dancer. How the school all appreciates you, you--you won your scholarship, that's all fine. There is nothing against that. That's fine, but don't think you can trample on God's Word and get by with it. Don't you ministers think you can do it and get by with it. None of us is going to do it. You housewives, or you businessmen, we're all going to answer to God, by His Word. Isaiah was learning this. They're not conscious of His Presence.

L-92   How it would pay us, today, to listen to what David said. He said, "The Lord is always before me." He bound His Commandments upon the doorposts and--and upon his bedpost, and he--he put them up everywhere. He even bound them in his heart, purposed in his heart that he wouldn't sin against God. He stayed constantly with the Word before him. That's the reason he said, "I shall not be moved," because, everything he done, he had the Word before him. And that's what we should always do, the order of God.
