<TITLE>07. Par 71-79</TITLE>L-71   Noah looked. We find out here, there was another man looked, by the name of Noah--Noah. He looked and saw the justice of God upon... The just judgment of God, rather, upon a wicked Word-denying generation, was being poured out. In his vision, as Noah was a prophet, God had give him a vision of how to build the ark, and instructed him how to make the construction, how it must be built. In this, how could Noah, unless this vision being the Word of God, when he seen this wrath and making a way of preparation?

L-72 Always, before coming judgment, there is a preparation made. It always is the Word of God.

L-73 And when he was constructing the Word of God together, bearing record that his vision was true and he believed in it, scoffers made fun of him, and so forth. But Noah had looked ahead and seen the justice of God had to require the judgment upon the people, and he constructed an ark to save his own household. When he looked, he saw the coming wrath of God, and he made preparations for the people to escape this thing.

L-74 So did John the Baptist, he made preparation for the escape.

L-75 And so is the Holy Ghost, today, forerunning the Coming of Jesus Christ, is making a construction, the Body of Jesus Christ. We are baptized into It; not by a creed, not by denomination or a handshake. But, "By the Spirit of God we are baptized into the Body of Jesus Christ," a construction that will stand the judgments, because It's already been judged. "When I see the Blood, I'll pass over you." Yes.
Noah, he looked and he saw what was coming.

L-76   Moses looked, one day, he seen a Pillar of Fire. It attracted his attention. This great theologian, He had run with all of his theological training, and his understanding (by his mother) of the Word Itself. Of how that he was to deliver the children of Israel. But when he tried in his way, he failed. And although his mother had thoroughly instructed him on what to do, and what he would do, and what God had raised him up for. All this knowledge, as good as it is, and it is good, but yet it had to be set off. That was only mechanics.

L-77 Mechanics ain't what runs the automobile. It's the dynamics that runs it.

L-78 The mechanics don't run the church; it's the dynamics, the Holy Ghost that gets into this Word. It's not a seminary that teaches you all the theology and the Greek interpretations. But it's the dynamics of the Holy Ghost in there, to set That afire and to bring it to pass, and to make it live just exactly what the promised Word is for this hour. Not the mechanics; the dynamics! It takes mechanics and dynamics, the Word and the Spirit, they are the One that gives Life.

L-79   What God promised for the hour, look for it to be fulfilled. You must look to Him, because He is the Word. And the only way you can look to the Word, is look to Him. Look to Him, He is the Word, and the Word promised for this day is to be fulfilled this day. Noah's time could not be filled this day; it was only a type, Moses' time, and so forth. But this is the day that God has promised these things that we're now enjoying, these things that we're now seeing, that the world is laughing at, this great momentous power of the Holy Spirit that can change a sinner's heart, that can take a lukewarm church member and give him a testimony that will set the church afire, from where he come out of. It's the dynamic that got into the Word.
