<TITLE>18. Par 130-137</TITLE>L-130   Now, the Bible that day, said, "There's a good land over there, and it's just full of milk and honey, and fine grapes and pomegranates, and, oh, it's a beautiful place."

L-131 Well, they said, "Now, some of you slip over and take a look at it, and come back, so we can console these people. We're going to cross over right away now, if you all just believe it." Well, away they went.

L-132 And here they come back, oh, two of them, just a-shouting, "Well, praise God! We seen it! We seen it! Oh, it's wonderful, there's nothing like it!" The rest, of the ten standing around, saying, "Oh, no, no, no, no, we can't do it." How many went over? Them two! That's right. Them two, because they knowed that God would prove His Word right. Notice, no swelling Jordan, no sir, no flooded banks of Jordan, or no giants of Canaan could stop them. God proved His Word to be so, He took them right into the land.

L-133 He'll do the same thing again, yes, sir, in the promises of today. He proves His Word. Regardless, He proves His Word.

L-134   He stopped the mouth of hungry human-eating lions one day, to prove His Word was true, that He could deliver, to Daniel the prophet. And they kept those lions fed on human flesh. And they kept those lions up to be hungry, so that when a man fell in there, or a child, whatever they throwed in there, it was capitol punishment, that lion would rip them to pieces, this bunch of hungry lions. And they get this prophet, with the Word of the Lord to the children of Israel, which had prophesied they'd take that place. And there he was with them. But God wasn't through with it, He wanted to prove His Word, He could deliver. And they starved those lions, and throwed that prophet in there, and they rushed towards him like that. That Pillar of Fire standing there, (and any animal is scared of fire), that Pillar of Fire standing there, the lions laid down. He kept His Word. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. God keeps His Word, He proves it, He proves It so.

L-135   Now, He took the heat right out of the blaze of the fiery furnace, to prove that His Word was so, that He could deliver from the fire. Right in among those blazes, where those children was throwed in there, and stayed in there a long time, when even the man that throwed them into it, the intense heat of the--of the furnace killed the great soldiers that was leading them up there. And God let the fire burn right on, but He took the heat out of it. He proves! If you stand by Him, He'll stand by you. Stand by you? Well, sure! An hour later, they opened the door, and said, "Say, how many did you put in there, anyhow?" Said, "We see three we put in there." He said, "There's four in there, and one of them looks like the Son of God." See, He shows! Cause why? He is the Word.

L-136 And they said, "God is able to deliver us from that fiery furnace, but, nevertheless, we're not bowing to any image, because we're standing by the Word." Any image, form of religion, get away from it. God will stand by you. He will take the heat out of the persecution. He will take the--the life out of the cancer. He will take the... He will do anything; He is God. You stand by Him; He will stand by you. He proves His Word true, every time. Took the heat out of the blaze, stopped the lions' mouth, and so forth.

L-137   Here's another thing God did, to show that He was God. Man got so, after in the wilderness there, that they were getting themselves scholarships, making themselves great man. They had some organizations called Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, and whatever more. And they were great man. They made priests out of one another. And they done great things like that, make high priests and big man, and dignitaries and so forth.
