<TITLE>21. Par 159-166</TITLE>L-159   They know what God said about it Here. See? Sure, God said so.
So they--they--they want to do it, anyhow, see. They try to find an excuse. "Well, I think it's much better. It's--it's not... The wind don't blow..." Yeah.
But God said for a man to dress different from a woman. "If a woman put on a garment pertained to a man, it was abomination in His sight." So it's not right, yes, and you shouldn't do it. No. See? So, therefore, it's wrong.

L-160 But, you see, they try to find an excuse, that, "The Lord told me to do this." I don't say He didn't, but, look, it ain't His perfect will. It's got to be His permissive will. You see what it'll do? It'll pollute the whole bunch. It polluted all the camp.

L-161   Notice here, God never changed His mind, His Word. But He is a good God, and He'll give you the desire of your heart, though it be against His will. You believe that?
Look, God told Moses, "You go down there," this anointed prophet. Said, "Go down there and speak to that rock." It's already been smitten.

L-162 Moses went down there in his anger, picked up the rod, and said, "You rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock?" and smote the rock. The water didn't come. He smote it again; it come. It was against God's will. It broke every plan in the Bible; Christ had to be smitten second time. See? Christ was smitten once. It broke the whole plan. But He give him His permissive will. Then, after, he said, "See, we got the water for you. Yeah, I brought it for you, you bunch of rebels!"

L-163   God said, "Come here, Moses. Come here. Come up here on top... You're been a faithful servant." (Like the woman with the high heels, "You climbed," see.) "Look over yonder. See the promised land?"
"O Lord!"
"But you're not going over. You took My permissive will, down here at the Rock. You have glorified yourself, see, and not Me. You sanctified yourself. You didn't sanctify Me. You didn't keep My original Word, what I told you to do." Yet, the waters did come.
You can lay hands on the sick and they recover. You can prophesy, or speak with tongues. But, the thing is, keep His original Word! God don't change His mind, friend. You've got to keep His commission, His will.
"Oh, well, that was for the disciples."

L-164   He doesn't change. If He's still got a disciple, that's the same commission. "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel. These signs shall follow them that believe." It's never change. He can't change.
Now, you can say, "Well, I tell you, it ain't for this day." Oh, you Balaamite! You see? See, God don't change. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-165 Just look at the Balaamites today. "Oh, I know, in the Bible they baptized in Jesus' Name, but, look, all the people..."
I don't care what the people has done. "There is not another Name under Heaven given among men whereby you can be saved." "No remission of sin, only through the Name of Jesus Christ." What, how good you are, what you do, that don't have one thing to do with it. It's God's original Word; you got to stay with That. Whew! All right.

L-166 "Obedience to His Word is better than sacrifice." You remember that time when Saul came back.
