<TITLE>01. Par 1-11</TITLE>65-0427, Does God Change His Mind?, Embassy Hotel, Los Angeles, CA, 88 min
L-1       Let us remain standing with our heads bowed, just a moment.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for every graceful thing that You have given to us. We're unworthy of--of any of Your blessings. These are certainly unmerited blessings that we receive. And we pray, God, that You'll continue to be with us. Just walking in and feeling this wonderful spirit in the meeting, I know it comes from You. So I pray, Father, that You'll continue to honor the meeting tonight, with Your Presence, and heal all the sick and the afflicted. Grant it. May this be a--a great night that we'll not forget soon, because of Your Presence. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-2   I want to apologize for keeping so late last evening. I will try to be faster tonight, and just so that we can hurry up and--and pray for the sick. I certainly felt good about last night's meeting. They seemed like that there was many people got healed. And I had plenty of support, everybody praying, and together. That's the way we stand. So, the Lord bless you. Now, I think, tomorrow night we're to be... I guess they've already announced it. It's another--another place. All right.

L-3 Now let's turn in the Book of Numbers, the 22nd chapter, right quick, for just a little text, to pass a few comments, and then we're going to place the most of the time in the prayer line.

L-4 Billy said he gave out enormous amount of cards, two or three hundred of them. And it'll take quite a while to get them through the prayer line, so I--I will just speak for a few minutes, not over thirty minutes, if possible, and then start the prayer line, pray for the sick. In Deuteronomy, in... Pardon me.

L-5 Numbers, 22nd chapter and the 31st verse, I wish to read this.
And the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

L-6 Now this may sound like a rude little text for just to--to give a stand and to have our healing service. And I'm going to try to have the prayer line started by nine o'clock, if possible. Now I want to take the subject tonight: Does God Change His Mind?

L-7   You know, we can change our mind, and because we--we learn a little different, we know we were wrong.

L-8 But I don't believe that God can change His mind. Because, if He does, then He certainly could not be infinite, and He could make a better decision if He would change it. So He... The faith that I have in Him, that--that He doesn't change His mind. Because if God ever makes a decision, He has to stay with that decision. See? And each time the same problem comes up, He has got to act in the same way He did the first time, or He acted wrong in the first time. See? So it gives us somewhere to have a--a basic faith. Now we cannot...

L-9   Yes, faith isn't just a loose leaf, something that you can fly it here and over somewhere else. It's something that's got to be sure. It's got to be stable. And, now, I cannot base my faith upon some theory. It's got to be a proven fact before I can have faith.

L-10 Just like a man choosing a wife, to marry. Why, he, he has got to have faith in that woman, he marries her, he certainly is fixing hisself for a lot of trouble. See? So he's got to, you got to have faith, some solid facts, some faith to base it upon; upon her word, upon what somebody else has said, or something. He's got to have something to place his face on, faith on.

L-11   So I feel that, to meet God, there is just one thing that I can base my faith upon and that's His Word.
