<TITLE>22. Par 152-160</TITLE>L-152 Now notice, make every... give Him the world and all the kingdoms, He could take them. He was trying to get Him to break that Word, 'cause he knowed he had Him right there if he could. He made Moses break It, He made Eve break It, but he hit the wrong guy this time. Why? He was the Word, and he didn't know it. He was that Word, Himself.

L-153   I can see him. We want to picture him kind of a kid's picture. I can see that big old black wings flock up against Eve, and say, "Now, I tell you what, it's pleasant. You should try it."
"But God said, if we did, we would die."

L-154 "Oh, well, surely you won't die. See? Oh, that's nonsense. That's some old fogy idea. Don't you believe none." But God had said so! God proved it's right. And He's proving it right now, people are dying at this minute. He still proves it's right.

L-155 Notice, and when he come to Moses, he said, "Moses, you know you got a hothead, you're high-tempered. Look what that bunch of renegades has done, see. Why don't you just go down there and really tell them about it?" And he did.

L-156   But when he hit this ten-thousand-volt line, it singed his feathers when he run up against Him. He said, "Oh, listen," said, "I'll give You all the kingdoms."
"It is written!" See? "It is written!"

L-157 He said now, "If Thou be the Son of God." See, he's always doubted It. He still teaches others to doubt It. He taught Eve to doubt It, taught Moses, he taught all of them to try to doubt It.

L-158 He's teaching you to try to doubt It. And you that's sitting right here now, if you want me to call your names, it's been, Satan's been trying a long time to get you to doubt me. Don't you do that. Sister, if you do that, well, you... or, not me, but just doubt. Just believe this Word. You don't have to believe me, but you believe This. See? If I say this Word, it's not mine, it's His. My word's different, but This is His. See? Notice now, notice. I don't want to get into that right now.

L-159   Notice, promise, all of His Words, absolutely is true. He proved Them. He proved, because He proved that He was the true Word. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."

L-160 What, how does he live? By, "Well, if you'll just take some of God's Word, he'll live"? Now, never was what He said. Did you notice, e-v-e-r-... "every Word"? How does he live? "Oh, he eats in there"? No, he's dying fast. That's flesh. "Well, he, oh, he belongs to church. He believes everything but That"? He's still dead. Do you get it?
"He can only live by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of..." The high priest, the bishop, the cardinal, the pastor? "God! Every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." How do we know it's God's Word? He says so, then He proves It. He proves His Word. Notice then, if that be so, your confession will not make you live. Your church membership will not make you live.
Notice, by His Word only, not just one Word misplaced. No one shall... One word killed the human race. In the Bible, in Revelation 22, one word will still kill the whole thing, his name will be taken from the Book of Life. "Whosoever shall add one word, or take one Word." Not one word! Not... No, I mean, not--not two words, just one word! Not one sentence; one word! One word! Oh, people, do you understand?
