<TITLE>13. Par 129-138</TITLE>L-129   "So when I first come before holy father Pharaoh, the pastor, you know, and performed the miracle that God told me to do; a sign with my hand, or with a stick; you know, pastor Pharaoh, down there, he didn't want to co-operate with me, to begin with. But when I had to force my way in, to get it, you know, he kind of made, tried to make the work of the Lord look shady. He said he had some magicians there that could do the same thing. And the carnal impersonators raised up to impersonate."

L-130 That's just exactly what Satan does in every move. Carnal impersonator; somebody see something done, and somebody try to impersonate it.

L-131 "When them carnal impersonators come up, and turned those sticks into serpents, just like I did, pastor Pharaoh said, 'You see, it's nothing but a magician, a souped-up magician. And we got the same thing here, and scientific, so forth. We, you, just did exactly. We got hospitals and things now.' Course, I believe that, but that ain't what God said. See?"

L-132 Now he said, "Notice," said, "we... he tried to make it look shady, on my part. But I was positive, I knowed that voice that spoke to me was the written and spoken Word of God for this era. So I just held steady, and He just shuffled them all away from me. He finally brought us to the mountain where He told me. After a long, long time; not that day, but a long time afterwards, we finally come to the mountain where He said, 'for a sign' I would 'return to this mountain.' I held steady."

L-133   Let's just grab another witness, right quick, before we leave. Let's pull up Joshua here.

L-134 Joshua said, "Moses took one out of every tribe, every denomination, and he sent us over to spy out the land. And when we got there at the river, and looked across there and seen those Amalekites, and the Amorites, Perizzites, and whatmore, said, they were giants." Said, "The people screamed out, for fear, 'Well, we can't do that! If we ever sponsor a meeting like that, our organization will turn us out. We just can't do it. We--we can't have things like that. It's too shady, see. We just can't. Why, it's impossible.' And when they come back, yet they had the evidence, brought back grapes from that land."

L-135   And, the trouble of it is, how can a man, or a church, or a denomination, that's ever tasted of the evidence that He is alive, and then deny Him when He is resurrected among us? How can you do it, Pentecost? You've spoke with tongues and interpret tongues, as you claim, and then how could you turn the very promised Word down for this age? Take part of It, and you say, "It's a good Land. We had no idea!" It was a good Land. It's proven to be a good Land, but that one bunch of grapes wasn't all of It. All Palestine was full of it! We believe in speaking in tongues, and all these other miracles and things, and praying for the sick.

L-136 And then when the promise comes up here, to something else, "As it was in the days of Sodom." Malachi 4 said, "Just before the great time when the Gentile world will burnt up just like Sodom was burned, and then the righteous will walk out upon the wicked, I'll send to you Elijah anointed with the Spirit, and he will turn the hearts of the children back to the Faith of the fathers." "Return back," always, each one of the times he come, that's what it was.

L-137 And why can you doubt that, when He brings Christ, the promise, the prophets, the Word, and everything, and it perfectly identifies it; and then turn back and say, "No, don't you co-operate with that meeting. If you do, I'll give you your papers"?

L-138   Would be my part, they could have their goat skins! My name is written on the Lamb's Book of Life, and every believer. So they come back, and Joshua said, "When they all come..." I could stay there a long time, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
