<TITLE>09. Par 92-105</TITLE>L-92 A lamb wouldn't do that. He won't even get in that mud. He don't want nothing to do with it. It's the characteristics of it. See? You might dress him in the same kind of clothes, but he sure won't, he sure won't go. The outside doesn't matter; it's the inside. Now, God being the source of all life...

L-93   Don't fail to get this. I'm trying, of all which is in me, to get you to see something. See? It's to your good, friends. It's for your be--behalf. See?

L-94 I didn't come here just to be seen. I didn't come here, there was no other place to go. I come here because I felt to come here. I felt that the ministry the Lord had give me must be showed amongst the people here, and I'm trying to get you to see what God really is now. He is His promised Word. He always is the Word, and He identifies Himself by the characteristic that He promised. A certain character would rise in a certain time, that's in the Word, then the characteristic of this person that's supposed to rise identifies that that is the person.

L-95 That's the reason Jesus had to be Who He was. They should have seen it. No wonder they were blind. The thing... Said, though He had done so many miracles, yet they could not believe, because Isaiah said, "They got eyes and can't see, and ears and can't hear." See? Each age, not only His age; but every age, how, "God, in sundry times, divers manners," still they just couldn't get it.

L-96   Now, His characteristics never fails. It always is the same. Now, remember, His characteristic, the characteristic of God, cannot fail. If it does, then God has failed. And the Bible said, in Hebrews 13:8, that, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Therefore, He is the unchangeable God. What ever character He was at the beginning, He is still that same character. Every way He worked, anytime He ever done anything, He does it the same way every time. If He doesn't, it's His character has changed, see, and His characteristics would display something that wasn't of God. See? So we wouldn't know where...

L-97   Like Paul said, "If the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will know to prepare for battle, if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound?" Now if the trumpet is supposed to sound "retreat," that's what we got to do, retreat. If the trumpet sounds "charge," that's what we're supposed to do, is charge. But what is the trumpet? I the Word of God. It identifies God, whether it's--whether it's "go up, sit down, retreat, stack arms," whatever it is. It's God's trumpet sound.

L-98 And an uncertain sound, when the Bible says a certain thing is supposed to happen; somebody say, "Oh, that was from another day, that." Then there is an uncertain sound there. Then you don't know what to do.

L-99 Jesus said, "I have power to lay My life down and raise it up again." No uncertain sound there.

L-100 The woman said, "We know Messiah cometh; and when He cometh, He'll tell us the things like He did."

L-101 He said, "I am He." No uncertain sound there. "I am He." Uh-huh! Amen.
They said, "Our Fathers eat manna in the wilderness."

L-102 He said, "They're, every one, dead." He said, "But I am the Bread of Life that come from God out of Heaven." No uncertain sound. "I'm the Tree of Life, from the Garden of Eden." No, no uncertain sound about that. Certainly not. Nothing uncertain about it. He was certain in everything that He did.

L-103 The Bible don't give an uncertain sound. It identifies the characteristic of God in its sounding.

L-104 Jesus said, in Saint John 10:37, "If I do not the works of My Father, what... and I don't have that character of My Father, then don't believe Me. They are the one, They identify His character in Me, His characteristics."

L-105 Because, the Father is the Word, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," and the characteristic of God is displayed by His promise for that age.
