<TITLE>14. Par 124-131</TITLE>L-124   "Without controversy," said First Timothy 3:16, "great is the mystery of godliness; for God was manifested in the flesh, seen of angels, received up into glory." He was God, come to take the sinners' place. Yes, sir. And when He, God, raised Him up the--on the third day, was for our justification. Therefore, exalted at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is an Intercessor, to make intercessions upon our... for our weaknesses, as we confess it to Him, and die out to ourself; placing His Word back in us, the promise. And our faith makes that Word live, because Christ is in us, the quickener to the Word.

L-125   How I wish the church could see that, all arguments and strife would be over! That would be the Supreme Court. That's the North Star. Hallelujah. That's the end of all strife. That's the end of all questions. That's the end of everything. "God said so," that's the Absolute. Tie yourself to It. Paul said, "There is nothing present, nothing future, death, sickness, nakedness, peril, nothing can separate us from That." We've tied to an absolute. Said, "For me to live is--is Christ, and to die is gain." Nothing else holds but That there. That's the absolute.

L-126   He is our Absolute because we have the assurance of the resurrection, because He is raised in us. How do we know? He lives. He does exactly here what He did when He was here on earth. He's the same Pillar of Fire, we got the picture of there. He's the same one in the Church. He's here today, and in this body He performs and acts exactly like He did then.

L-127 If the life of a watermelon vine is put in a pumpkin, it'll never bear another pumpkin; it can't, 'cause it'll be a watermelon, for the life in it is watermelon. "And if My... Ye abide in Me and My words in you, you ask what you will!" You'll have watermelons. Amen. The Absolute, I know it's Truth. I've tied my soul into that, and I know it's the Truth. God's Word, He's our Absolute.

L-128   Second Thessalonians, the 2nd chapter, we read that. "We'll be caught up with our loved ones, to meet Him in the air." Oh, how my heart pulsates to every Word in His Book, "amen." God said, "We'll be caught up in the air, to meet our loved ones." "Amen," said the Word down in my heart, for the Word is in there.

L-129 "I've hid Thy Word in my heart, Lord, that I sin not against You. I bind them upon my fingers, upon my bedpost. Thou art always before me. I shall not be moved."

L-130 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I'll fear no evil, for You are my Absolute. I'll go down through there, and You'll pull me out. I go into the deep waters of my ship, You'll... You're my anchor. Amen. You're behind the veil there. You're the One Who will steer me through the storm. You're the One will be There, my anchor in Glory, when I come down to the shadows of the valley, the shadows of death." When I come down to the Jordan, when I have to cross over, He is my Absolute. I'm tied to the resurrected One on the other side, He will pull me through the dangerous waters. "I'll fear no evil, for Thou art with me." Amen. Let the storms rage, life, death, whatever there is; nothing will separate. I'm tied to that Post.

L-131 That Post holds. It holds within the veil. It anchored. It anchored against God yonder. It anchored against my heart. The Holy Spirit is what stirs me to that promise. "I AM," not "I will be, I was, I someday will be." "I am the Resurrection and Life," saith God. "He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me, shall never die."
