<TITLE>05. Par 25-33</TITLE>L-25   Mrs. Simpson, I don't think she is with us today. Or, I see Brother Fred setting here, but I don't know where Mrs. Simpson is. She went and got a prophecy that I made, about 1935 or something like that, and said, "The time would come," it's written in a book somewhere, "that the sea would weep its way into the desert."
Look what'll take place. If that thousands of square miles falls down into the lava of the earth, and slides in, there will be millions die at one time. And that'll cause such a tidal wave! Remember, plumb up into the Salton Sea, is a hundred or two hundred feet lower than the sea level. That water will probably come almost to Tucson, with that tidal wave coming across there. "And the sea shall weep its way into the desert."
Nations are breaking, Israel is awakening,
The signs that our prophets foretold;
The Gentile days are numbered, with harrows encumbered;
Return, O dispersed, to your own.

L-26 We're in the end time. Now, the Lord bless you richly. I get started on that and forget about time. We're going to fade quick, pretty quickly, into Eternity, anyhow.

L-27   And now in Saint Mark, the 7th chapter and the 7th verse, to bring a text to this subject that was just read in First Chronicles 13. To make a text for this, I want Mark 7:7.
... in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men.

L-28 Now, I know nothing but the Message the Lord has given me, and that's all I can speak on. And now, I'm going to speak on a subject this morning which I thought would be good. And tonight I want to speak on, "meat in due season," if the Lord willing: Spiritual Food In Due Season, and how to receive It. Now, this morning: Trying To Do God A Service Without Being The Will Of God.

L-29 God is sovereign. And we see here what David done, in the Scripture reading of First Chronicles 13. And he was... His intentions were good. But God does not give us merits on good intentions. There is only one way to serve God, that's by doing His will at His command. And God, being sovereign, there is no one to tell Him what to do or how to do it. He does it the way, He knows the right way to do it. And that makes me feel good. And it ought to make all of us feel good, and I'm sure it does. For, one would have It coming this way, and one have It going that way, and one the other way.

L-30   But one great thing, again, about God, He has not left us, now, without knowing what's the Truth and how to do it. He wouldn't be just, to punish us for doing something that we didn't know how it was going to be done, and then let us stumble into something. He is not that kind of a God. He's a God that speaks the Word and expects His children to believe It. And, therefore, He knows what's best, and when to do it, and how to do it. We have our ideas of it, but He knows.

L-31 And then if He set up a system, that what He's going to do, and didn't tell us what was going to happen and how it was going to happen, then we, stumbling at it, would be--would be justified in--in our stumblings; or, trying to do something, each one would be justified. But there's only one way, and that is His Word.

L-32   And another thing, David here, we see that in his heart he wanted to do something that was good. He had no bad motive, or no bad objective. But, the house, or the ark of the Lord, was away from the--the people, and he wanted to bring the ark of God back to its place, so the people would consult God about the things that they wanted.

L-33 Instead of--of just letting it go, we... What if Brother Blair and the father of this little boy said, "Well, it's too bad, child just got hurt, killed. I guess, just something that happened"? But they went quickly to God.
