<TITLE>02. Par 11-23</TITLE>L-11 Our Heavenly Father, so far as my human eyes could see, there was a complete mass of hands. Surely Brother Green's revelation and my desire to come, was right. Now, Father, give them their desire, according to Thy Word and Thy promise. We commit them to Thee. And may our lives be so fitted with the Word, that the Word will become flesh among us and will give the people faith to draw from their account in Heaven, which Jesus settled for them long ago, for their sins and sickness, as they're in the journey. Bless us now, we pray, as we wait on Thee to reveal to us Thy Word, and make It flesh among us. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. (You be seated.)

L-12   Now I would, if you would just try to, don't move around no more than what you possibly can help, I mean getting up and going, till just the next forty-five, fifty minutes, something like that. Now, the--the str-...

L-13 The thing is this, we want to know what is Truth. And that's the only one Truth that I know, is the Bible. Now, God is going to judge the world someday, we believe that, and each one of us mortals is going to be brought into His Presence for judgment. I have a few notes wrote out here, and Scriptures that I want to refer to in a few minutes.

L-14   Now remember, if I should ask tonight, "Is there a Catholic here?"
"Yes," they'd say. And perhaps...
"Well, what will God judge the world by?"
They'd say, "The Catholic church."

L-15 Then I'd say back, "What Catholic church?" They disagree. There's plenty of disagreements. One's a Roman, and the other one's a Greek, and the Orthodox, so forth. We have plenty. If I'd say...

L-16 The Methodist would raise up, say, "He'll judge it by the Methodist church." Well, if that's so, then the Baptist has not a chance. And if they judge it by the Baptist, then the Methodist doesn't have a chance.

L-17 Because, remember, one little misquoting of the Word, one (not all it, just not all of one verse), just one little iota of misbelieving the Word, caused every death, every sickness, every sorrow. That was Eve, in the garden of Eden. Now if all this cost that, for just one lady misunderstanding the Word... She, she didn't do it willfully, she was "deceived," the Bible said. "Deceived," by the Word, caused all this, then you and I are not going back with anything less than the entire Word.

L-18 Now, I believe, the Bible says that He won't, I don't believe God will judge the world by the Pentecostal church, by Methodist, Baptist, or Catholic. He'll judge it by Jesus Christ, He said so. And Christ is the Word, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. The same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-19   The whole thing is the great Eternal. Eternity never did begin and never can end. Therefore, in this great Eternal One was attributes, to be Father, to be Son, to be Saviour, to be Healer, and all these things was in Him. And only thing that's happening now, is displaying His attributes. That's all.

L-20 Now, our names were put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. And when the Word strikes that, if it's any light there that's been ordained to Life, Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws, and all that My Father has given Me will come to Me." So, you see, it's the Word, constantly, the Word, the Word.

L-21   Now, I want to speak tonight upon the subject, drawing from a context out of this text that we read, God Is Identified By His Characteristics.

L-22 Now, most everything that we find can be identified by its characteristics.

L-23 Now, we notice, like in animal life, you take like in bird life. Now, you take like a--a yellowhammer, when he's flying, and a jay bird, they look a whole lot alike. But the characteristic of the yellowhammer, he flops his wings and drops, and then up and down, up and down. That's the characteristic. If you notice, the jay bird flies more in a beeline.
