<TITLE>06. Par 60-70</TITLE>L-60 The next witness is Mr. Impatient. He's a awful guy. All right. Mr. Impatient, he claims that he read out of God's Word, in Mark 11:22 and 23, that when if you prayed, if you believed that what you've prayed for, you receive, you should have what you asked for." And he said that he asked to lay down his crutches, after he read the Word and asked God to heal him. And he asked to lay down his crutches, and that's been five years ago, and he's never been able to lay them down since.

L-61   So they--so they claim, "God is not justified in putting such rashel promises in His Word." Now do you understand the case now against God? "He is not justified in doing that, placing such Scriptures as Mark 11:23, 22 and 23, and Mark 16, James 5:14, and such promises as that." They are indicting God because of a breech of promise, that, "He has broken His promise, and is not able to stand by It." And they're indicting Him for putting such in His Word, for, "His believing children are not identified by the claims, and it causes them to be persecuted, because they are not. God doesn't identify His Word after He has made the promise."

L-62   Oh, we got a real case here now. I look at them, how they can testify! Yet, hear the witnesses stand up again and say, "Yet, we are believers!" They claim to be believers, themselves. "And has said, 'These signs shall follow them that believe.' 'The prayer of faith shall save the sick.' 'If you say to this mountain, "be moved" and don't doubt in your heart, it shall happen.' And we are believers." And, yet, again one stands up and said, "Yet, He, that is God, promised all things are possible to the believers." What an indictment against God and His Word!

L-63 "Yet, again, He claims to be alive after He was crucified. And claims that His Scripture on Hebrews 13:8, that He is just as much God today as He was yesterday, and will be forever." Just think of the same God! And they indict Him for that, because, "It isn't so," they can't make it act right. All right.

L-64   "Also, that he claims," this is the complainant now, "he claims that both heaven and earth will fail, but His Word will never fail." That's supposed to be believers talking. Now, what a accusation! What a complaint we have against God, that, "He has made these statements, and not big enough to stand behind It." What do you think of that?

L-65 And Satan the prosecutor sitting there, representing the world, to claim these, a breech of promise to God, because, "These people has come, has been in these meetings, and--and accepted these things that God said, was right, and yet there's been nothing happen to them."

L-66 Now, now let's let the prosecutors witnesses step down just for a minute, you know. They got another side.

L-67   Now we will call the defense witness. The defense witness of the defendant, that's God. The defense witness for God is the Holy Ghost. Bring Him to the stand. Let's hear His testimony.

L-68 My! First, He calls the attention to the prosecutor's misinterpretation of the Word to the people. "That's right, for he is the same interpreter that Eve had. He is the same interpreter that Eve had. 'Oh, surely, This or... This is all right, but That isn't.' See, the same interpreter, the prosecutor is, 'cause he's a devil. The same one that..."

L-69 God fortified His children behind His Word. And the very first time you step from behind It, you're a target to the devil. But he can't get you as long as you're fortified by the Word.

L-70   "Now the promise is..." He said again, "I want to call your attention." Says... Now this is the defense witness, the Holy Ghost. He said, "The promise is only to believers, not make-believers and skeptics and unbelievers. The promise is only to the believers, not to others." Now, this is the--this is the defense witness. And the defense witness should know, because He is the one that quickens it to them. He know whether it's true or not.
