<TITLE>13. Par 138-147</TITLE>L-138 And he says here, that, "It stood still for most a whole day; and the moon hung over Ajalon." That, "The sun stood still." Whatever He stopped, I don't know what He stopped. But because of a man saying, "stand still," and it's--it's written here, that, "The sun stood still."

L-139 Science proves that, that a mark in the sky still says that that's the truth, can vindicate it by a mark in the skies, today, that it did take place. See? That's just been about--about twenty-five hundred years ago, or something like that, twenty-eight hundred years ago, maybe, that it did that. It hasn't, that mark hasn't had time to trail into the stars and things, yet. That's was just... That's just two days ago, by God's time, see, but yet the mark shows. "And it stood still!" That's a paradox. No one could figure it out. If the sun...

L-140   If the world is a turning, then you say, "He stopped the world." Well, if He stopped the world, then the science says, that, "Gravitation, a turning, holds it up there, then the world would have dropped, itself." But it went right on moving, at the hand of God. A paradox. Why?
Oh, you say, "That was a long time ago."

L-141 That is today, the same God. Jesus said, in Matthew, not Matthew, it's Saint Mark 11:22, "If you say to this mountain, 'Be moved,' and don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you've said will come to pass, you can have what you've said." That's defy nature, but you have to have a motive and objective to that, that's connected with it. Find out in the Word if it's supposed to be done, and then God is calling you to do it, and it'll do it. When you know that it's spoken in the Word to do it, and then God has called you to do it, then it'll happen; if your motive and objective is right, to God. That's why visions take place, why things are going the way... You have to know, and know God promised it this hour.

L-142 "As it was in the days of Lot." He promised in the last days, then He calls to do that. It's no problem. God said so. That settles it. Sure, it's, it--it's a paradox. You can't explain it. No man can explain how certain things will be predicted and never one time fail to happen. It's a paradox. But God said do it. It's the day. That's the day we're living in.
"The sun stood still."

L-143   Samson, it was a paradox how he could kill a lion, bare-handed; a little curly-headed shrimp. Sep-... Separated, from God, he was a Nazarite, separated by the Word of God. He was a Nazarite, and so he separated himself for the Word. And he didn't have shoulders the size of that door there. Any man with shoulders like that could kill a lion. That wouldn't be no mystery, if he was that size, as science or--or the theologies of today, and--and artists try to draw his picture. He was just a little bitty guy, see, and he was totally unable to do it. But when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, then he could do it.

L-144 We might stand alone, we might stand as one or two, whatever it is; when the Spirit of the Lord is trying to confirm a Word that He has promised and told you to do it, it'll happen. It'll be a paradox, again. Certainly.

L-145   It was a paradox when this man could take the jaw bone of a mule, that he picked up on a field. Now, remember, those Philistine helmets was about an inch thick with brass. Think of it. And he had the jaw bone of a mule, a laying out there on the desert.

L-146 Did you ever pick up one? You can kick it with your foot, and it'll bust into a million pieces. Hit it against a rock, it just goes to powder, almost.

L-147 And he took this jaw bone of this mule, and beat down a thousand Philistines, beat their helmets in. How did the jaw bone hold together? Why didn't his arm give out? How could he do it, and them trained man with spears? It's a paradox. God made the promise. And where God is, paradoxes always happen where God is. Yes, sir.
