<TITLE>09. Par 103-114</TITLE>L-103 But you can't afford now to try to get this prescription, take it over to some quack druggist that--that might put something else in it. It might kill the patient. That's the reason we got so many dead church members today, they are trying to give the wrong prescription. God has got the prescription right here in the Bible. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. You've got to take the medicine the way the Doctor said give it.

L-104   The Bible said, "Is there no--is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?" Course, there is. Said, "Then why is the daughter of My people in this condition?"

L-105 See, we got the Bible. We got the Physician. It's, just, the druggist is misfilling the Scripture prescription. That's what it is. You're trying to say, "The days of miracles is past. There is no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost and all these things. It's nonsense." The Bible is exactly right. God doesn't take back anything He said. And they try to use a phony way out, something another like, "Well, we believe that." Well, no matter what you believe!

L-106 It's what God said! He said, "I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh." He promised this in the last days.

L-107 They try to say the meetings, that you are seeing, they call me, "a soothsayer, a--a--a polished-up soothsayer, or a--or a Beelzebub, or some devil." Well, they got to say that, because they're of their father. That's what he said about Jesus at the beginning. And it's not us doing this, anyhow, it's same Jesus, 'cause He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. It's His Spirit.

L-108   Oh, something that could pass, by-pass and ful-... by-pass His commission. So many people try to by-pass that. "Oh, come join the church, and it'll be all right. We're an old church. We've been here for many years. We started..." Yes, that's right. If that's so, then the Roman Catholic church has got it on all of you; they're the first of the organizations. They was first. But, remember, not the first Church. They was the first organization, and the mother of every one of them. Which, every one of them is contrary to God. Revelation 17 says the same thing, see. Yes, we are in the last days. Now, remember, God will let you, though, see, now.
And then Balaam, he thought, "Well?"

L-109   Then God told him, "Go on." Why? God knew what was in his heart. God knew that was in his heart to begin with, so He told him to, "Go on." He will permit it. He will permit you to do it. He will bless you, many times, in doing it.

L-110 He blessed even Israel after they... Grace had already give them a prophet, Pillar of Fire, a deliverance, signs and wonders, brought them out of Egypt, and everything, and yet they wanted a law. God let them have it, but He cursed them all the time.

L-111 He let Balaam go on just the way he was supposed to, but what did he do? He went down there and, instead of cursing the people, he had to bless the people. He could not curse what God had blessed.

L-112   And I--I told you, was going to quit at nine. And I looked up, and it's time now, and I got a book full of notes here.

L-113 But I want to say this, in closing, that God never changed His mind. His direct will was for Balaam not to go. And when God makes a statement, it has to ever remain true.

L-114 Now, the Bible said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Now, that don't mean "in a certain way." That means He's the same yesterday, today, and forever! Jesus said, in Saint John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] He promised, in Mark 16, "These signs shall follow them that believe."
They say, "Well, that was just for the apostles."
