<TITLE>25. Par 254-262</TITLE>L-254 That Word has to come to pass, It's God's Word! Plant It in your heart, if you want to go in a Rapture. If you want to be Christians genuine, place this Word. As I believe it was Ezekiel, God said, "Take that scroll and eat it up," that the prophet and the Word would become the same. And every promise in there has to manifest itself, because it's God's original Seed. Don't you let some educated theologian out here try to pump It out of you. Don't you let him spray you with that carnal science and knowledge, and education. Believe God!

L-255   Abraham didn't take the scientific research of his day, say, "I'm too old to have a baby, I've went too far. I've done this, that, or the other." But he called anything that was contrary, to God's Word, as though it wasn't. And he staggered not at the promise of God, through unbelief; but was strong, giving praise to God. He knowed that God was able to perform that what He had promised.

L-256   Oh, wandering sons, deformed by the creepers of this earth! Wandering sisters, that the places and fashions of this world has drawed you! And, sister dear, you might consider me an old crank, but one of these days when you meet what Florence Shakarian met the other night; she sat in this room, too, in this place, as you know. When you meet that, you'll find out that, not me, but this Word is right. Keep out of those barber shops, those fashion shops. Keep out of those things.

L-257 Say, "Why don't you teach them great things, how to be this?" Just start with your ABC's, and then we'll come to algebra. See? Just start learning, "which is your reasonable service."
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your body a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

L-258   You just do "Your reasonable service," God will take care of the rest of it; see, just to reason things that you can reason out yourself and do. Isn't it not... Isn't it unreasonable for a woman to strip herself down, and go out here and act like that, when the Bible condemns it? Isn't it unreasonable for a man to pull hisself into such a dogma as we have today, and all this stuff here, and all this seminary stuff, and stuff like that, when it's absolutely contrary to the Word of God? See?

L-259   Isaiah's lips, he was just an ordinary man of unclean lips. He said, "Lord, I'm among unclean people, and I got unclean lips. Woe is me because I've seen God." And an Angel come down, got a Fire, Holy Fire off of God's altar, and transformed his lips; from the lips of a wandering man, to the lips of a prophet with THUS SAITH THE LORD. God's transforming Power!

L-260 A hundred and twenty fishermen, and--and little old sellers of purple, of women, and those gathered themselves in an upper room and closed the doors, some of them not enough education to sign their own names. God transformed them from fishers, to fishers of man; from men and women on the street, to saints of God, immortal. The transforming Power of God!

L-261   Paul, a local church member, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, or something; down the street he went, with his great defying spirit in him, that he knowed more than any of them. He had come up under Gamaliel, one of the best teachers there was in the land. What happened on his road down to Damascus, get a bunch of people who was believing God's Word? On his road down there, was stricken down, and he heard a Message. And It transformed him from a church member and a church goer; to a prophet of God, who wrote the Word of God, in the New Testament. From a church member to a saint!

L-262 Oh, wandering star, let's stop. Wandering son, wandering Seed that's going from place to place, in this deformity; turn, this morning, children. Please hear me as a--as a man that's trying to stand between the living and the dead.
