<TITLE>09. Par 87-97</TITLE>L-87   Now I'm going to try to be out in about another fifteen, twenty minutes, with the Message. Notice close now, I want you to get this, 'cause I may never see you again, see.
Notice, now watch how He prepared His people.

L-88 How many knows that He never changes His ways? He never does. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] He's... now look through the Bible and see if He ever changed it. No, sir.

L-89 How did He prepare the people? First, He sent a prophet with a sign, which was Moses. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen." Ed.] And the sign had a message, a message to "get ready," they were going out to the land that was promised. Then He had identification, of this prophet, that a Light was over the top of him. A Pillar of Fire followed this prophet, we know that, went through the wilderness with Moses. We realize that. And then He gave them a token for the assurance that they wouldn't have to be scared, all upset and nervous; where He said, "When I see that token, I'll pass over you."

L-90   Watch how He did now. He prepared first a sign, a messenger, identified message, identification of the messenger, and a token for the assurance that the way was paid. They are headed for the promised land.

L-91 The same thing He has done today! What did He do? He sent us the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the Messenger, and the Scriptural identification of Himself identifies Him among us, the same yesterday, today, and forever. And the Token is the assurance. What are we scared about? Our fare is already paid and we are identified with our Sacrifice. He can't turn you down. He promised that. We're identified.

L-92   Israel coming out of Egypt, as I said, is like the--the Bride coming out of the church. When Moses begin his ministry, Israel all gathered together in Goshen, for prayer and worship, exactly, come from all parts of the Egypt. That's the way the Bride will do, it'll come out of all of the Oneness, Twoness, Threeness, and all other kinds. It'll come out. It's got to. Now we read here in Hebrews the... We now, the first thing we must think of, come from all parts, "Come out from amongst unbelief." Now the Holy Spirit promised to call that in the last days, "Come out from among the unbelievers." Notice.

L-93   We find out in Hebrews 10:26, I got wrote down here, it says this, "If we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the Truth, there is no more sacrifice for sin," see, if you disbelieve wilfully.

L-94 Now if you'll notice, what may I say here, if you'll spare me a moment till I make that illustration. I could feel in the Spirit, didn't go over right. See? Notice.

L-95   Here is Hebrews, they're on their road out. God chose twelve man, or Moses did, by the hand of God, to go over and spy out the land; and come back, bring back a token of the land. And when they got there, ten of them was scared to death. "Why," they said, "them Amalekites up there, we look like grasshoppers to them." Joshua and Caleb come back, bringing the evidence, "We can do it!"

L-96 You see, that's borderline believers. They come through these different elements, and through church, and joining church, and baptisms and forms. But when it comes right up to crossing over to get the Token, the evidence that the Land is there, that Life... Jesus Christ is not dead. It's another dimension. He lives in it. He is with us, He is now in us. When it comes to that, "ah," they couldn't believe that. That was too much, you see. And they come back, and they, every one, died in the wilderness, not one of them went over. And, see, if we disbelieve, we Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian!

L-97   I hope my old teacher is sitting here today. Doctor Roy E. Davis, many of you knows him, right here at Fort Worth, he is perhaps sitting in here. I remember we discussed these things, many, many years ago. He baptized me in the faith, a Missionary Baptist church.
