<TITLE>11. Par 129-145</TITLE>L-129   But God don't need nobody to interpret Him. He is His Own interpreter. He makes the promise, then He brings it to pass, and that's interpretation of it. No one has to interpret it. God don't ask no one. "The Bible is of no private interpretation." Everybody trying to say It means this, that. Let God speak for Himself. He is the One that does it. He made the promise; He stands behind it. He does, to believers.

L-130 But unbelievers receive nothing. It's not for them. They're dead, to begin with. They never was even represented. There is nothing in them. They're dead hulls. You don't want to be like that.
"Be filled with the Spirit!"

L-131   Notice, He separated Eve and Adam, and she fell. Adam went with her. Now, "Adam was not deceived." Eve was deceived. But Adam, the first Adam, was God's son also. And he went out because of the love of Eve, to try to bring her back, 'cause he loved her.

L-132 Christ did the same thing, to redeem Her back. What to? The Word. What caused the fall? The Word, disbelieving the Word, all the Word. And Christ come that He might become one of us, His Life in us, to continue the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and 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." Same God! That's why He come, to do that.

L-133 Now we find, in the conformation, redeem us back to Himself, redeem the wayward children that strayed out in these morgues; and come back to the Word again, back to the identified Word!

L-134   Now them Jews, when Jesus come, they could say, "We got the Word. We got the Word. Here is what Moses said. We are Moses' disciples." Jesus, only twelve years old, disputing with them. And then when... See, that's what man does to It.

L-135 But Jesus said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. For, the works that the Father has given Me to do, they testify Who I am."

L-136 Who? Any man that's sent of God, God testifies to the works that he's ordained him to do. If it doesn't, the Scripture doesn't back it up, leave it alone.

L-137   Even in the Old Testament, they had a way of knowing whether it was true or not. They took them down, a dreamer, or--or prophesier, or ever who it was, they took them down to the Urim Thummim. That was a supernatural Light.

L-138 God always is supernatural, works in supernatural. As long as there is a God there, there is supernatural, if it's Jehovah God.

L-139 And, when, no matter how well the dream sound, if it didn't reflect upon that Urim Thummim, then it was wrong.

L-140 Now the old Aaronic priesthood is done away with, but still we've got a Urim Thummim. This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, reveals Him in this Word. And anything that's contrary to that Word is not God; contrary to It. But God speaks for Himself. He identifies Himself with His Word.
That's where Jesus defeated Satan. "It is written..."

L-141 Then here come Satan back, and flopped in again. He said, "Yes, it's also written..." But that time, when he come, he hit a--a heavy voltage. That time it singed his wings. He jumped off of there, then.

L-142 He said, "It's written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.' Get thee behind Me, Satan!" See?

L-143   Notice what happened. God has always identified Himself by His promised Word. Now if them Pharisees had looked right back, Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet likened unto me." That was in the Scripture.

L-144 But no wonder Jesus thanked the Father, said, "I thank Thee, Father, Thou hast hid This from the eyes of the wise and prudent, revealed It to babes such as will learn."

L-145 When He said to Peter on that day, when they come down. When He said, "Who does man say I the Son of man am?"
