<TITLE>13. Par 137-150</TITLE>L-137 No more doubt. You didn't have to explain it. She saw it. She believed it. Away she went! Why? What did It do to her? It redeemed her.

L-138 Now watch, He came to be a Redeemer. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] What does redeem mean? "Bring back." Why didn't He get the priest? He never was up there. See? See, he had no representation.

L-139 He came to redeem that which had fallen. In the fall, this got messed up, with that girl; but God had her in His thinking before the foundation of the world, and He come to cleanse her. See? Then He... She had Eternal Life. See?

L-140   Where, the priest, what did it do to him? It sent him right back to his destination. He had nothing, to begin, only intellectual learning.

L-141 Now listen, friend, if the only thing you've got is just intellectual learning, you get something different from that. And you'll never be able to get It unless you got representation. That's the reason I believe you come from the east and west, north and south; the Word, living, made manifest.

L-142   Notice now how He makes His way known by His prophets, in the beginning. He has never changed it.

L-143 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... salvation. He justified a man; sanctified him; sent the Holy Ghost and Fire, and burnt the sin out him, and dwelt in him, Himself.

L-144 He does the earth, that He's going to use in a plan of redemption, the same way. It repented and was baptized in water, in... by Noah. Jesus come and sanctified it, by dripping His Blood upon it, and claimed it. And in the New Earth that's to come, it's to have a holy Fire baptism, to clean it of every devil, every germ, every sickness, everything that there is, and make it anew. "I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth."

L-145 You become a new person. Amen! Not just an old one patched up, by joining church or trying to turn a new page, but you are a complete brand-new unit. God takes the old man and burns him completely out, with the Holy Ghost and Fire, and comes Himself, sends down your representation. "No man can come to Me except My Father has drawed him. And all the Father has given Me will come to Me." You see it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Same plan; same way.

L-146   Satan was... will be taken from the earth, just exactly like Satan was taken from you. Satan cannot bother; or, he can tempt, but he cannot get a born-again Christian. For, God, from the foundation of the world, foresaw him, and sent Jesus to redeem him, and the Blood speaks for him. How can he sin when it can't be seen, even, by God? He don't even... The only thing He hears is your voice. He sees your representation. Amen! That is true. See?

L-147   By the same means, for the world is one of His attributes just the same as you are one of His attributes. The world becomes one of His attributes, because it was God's thinking, in the beginning. To have a world, to be on a Throne, to be a King, to be a Redeemer, to be a Healer, that's His attributes.

L-148   Just like an attribute of you. I can't say a--a "post" 'less I think of post. I can't say "man" unless I think of man. And when I think of man, then say "man," the thinking is my attribute and the expression is the word. See?

L-149 Like Isaiah, how could he say, that, "A virgin was going to conceive"? What is a thought?

L-150   Now, many of you wonder how them, that discernment, comes. I'm going to tell you. See, it's a word that I say. And it isn't my thinking, 'cause I don't know. I don't know of the thinking of it. How can I tell you who you are and where you come from, when I don't know you? How can I tell you what you done ten years ago, when I never seen you in my life? How can I tell you where you'll do and what you'll do ten years from now? How do I know the future? But it is Somebody else's thought.
