<TITLE>06. Par 42-49</TITLE>L-42 But the Spirit bade them not to do it. Said, "This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him," and He is the Word. That's Who we're to look to, the Word, not our enthusiasm or something else. "He is My Word; hear ye Him!" And what did they see after this Voice spoke to them? Even Moses and Elijah wasn't present; neither was there a creed; neither was there anything left but Jesus only, and He is the Word. That's all they seen.
Now, "Going without the camp."

L-43   We find that on their camp where this great occasion took place, up on Mount Transfiguration, as Peter later called it, "the holy mountain," where He met with them. Now, I do not believe the apostle meant that the mountain was holy; he meant it was a holy God on the mountain.
It isn't the holy church; it's not the holy people. It's the Holy Ghost in the people. The Holy Ghost is holy. He is your director and your leader.

L-44 And we find, on this little camp up on the mountain, Transfiguration, when they were commissioned to hear, the only thing they was commissioned to do was to hear the Word. Only thing they seen, was not a creed. They never seen nothing else but Jesus, and He is the Word made flesh.
How beautiful that is, to the same camp that was in the garden of Eden. When God fortified His Church in the garden of Eden, His people, they had one wall to stay behind; that was the Word. They had one shield, one armor, one thing, because God knowed what would defeat the devil, and that's the Word.

L-45 Jesus did the same thing. "It is the Word; it is written." And Satan tried to--to coat It, not quote It; coat It for Him. And Jesus said, "And it's also written." Now, we must stay with that Word!

L-46   And in this little camp that they had there, of Peter, James, and John; and Jesus, Moses, and Elias. And in their camp they seen the Heavenly host of the shadow, or the Pillar of Light hanging in this cloud that transfigured the Lord Jesus. And when they were ready to make a denomination, one for the law, and one for the prophets, and so forth, the Voice said, "This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him." Then, of what they was commissioned, was just exactly like it was in Eden, "Stay with the Word!" That's God's camp for His people.

L-47   It seems, today, to be a day of when people are going beyond the camp. In everything, they're going beyond.

L-48 You know, I was told, sometime ago, that they had a jet plane now that can... makes them noises we hear around here, that shakes the windows. It's when the plane has got so fast that it crosses its own sound, called sound barrier. And when it goes beyond its own sound barrier, it's almost unlimited to what it'll do.
And I think, in there, that we get a lesson. When we go beyond our own sound barrier, into the Word of God, then it's unlimited what God can do with a man that's ready to go beyond the camp, the camp of man, that is. Now, we see that, going beyond the camp, going beyond this.

L-49   I see Satan, also, is taking his people beyond the camp of reason, beyond the--the--the--the camp of--of common sense. Satan taking his people the other way, beyond the camp; God taking His people beyond, this other way. And Satan has taken them beyond the camp of common decency. When it comes to a place that people... and can act and do, and get by with the things that they're doing today in the order of morals. It's beyond my thoughts of how that a man can set his wife out there, dressed like that, and then slap somebody for insulting her. It's beyond common sense. He ought to know better than that. Beyond common decency! Where is the stopping place?
