<TITLE>03. Par 25-35</TITLE>L-25 I'm sorry that we do not have seating room for everyone this morning. And we trust that I won't stay up here too long, just enough to maybe bring us maybe a reading of the Word; that the Lord God will honor His Word that's being read, and will give us of His grace, that we might serve Him by it.

L-26   Now I was told by Billy Paul, this morning, that it might be possible that we speaking next Sunday at the Grantway Assembly of God, in Tucson. If there is anyone here from Tucson, I might not get to see you this week. I'll be at the Grantway Assembly of God, next Sunday.

L-27 So now we just come back from up in the East, and I kind of run myself down a little, by overeating, with overkindness of the people down in the mountains. And--and I got sick, so I haven't felt good this week. So, you pray for me. And...

L-28   [Someone says, "Too much opossum."--Ed.] What you say? ["Too much opossum."] Brother Carl Williams with his sense of humor, and I think we need it right now, he said, "Too much opossum." I don't know about that, Brother Carl, but a whole lot of squirrels. [Brother Branham laughs.]

L-29 So you want to pray for someone this morning, why, I--I certainly appreciate if it would be some of your prayer for me, because I--I need it.
Now we want to go quickly into the Word.

L-30   And I don't want to keep you here too long, because I believe there is a telephone hook-up across the nation, on this this morning, goes all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast, from North and South. Many, many assemblies have got this accomodation that you all had here from the tabernacle. It's also hooked up in Phoenix, that everywhere the services is, it comes right in to the... And they gather in churches and in homes, and things like that, do a very fine way. They say it's even better than a broadcast. It's the telephone hook-up, they put a receiver on a microphone, or whatever it is, in the room. And they... My wife said, coming from Indiana last week, down to Tucson, it was just the same as standing right in the room. So we pray that God will bless all those out on the line this morning, wherever they are. Up in New York now it will be, oh, in the afternoon, and different times as it crosses the nation.

L-31   Now over in the Book of Romans, the 12th chapter, and the 1st and 2nd verses, we wish--wish to read this Scripture.
I beseech you therefore, brethren., by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and perfect... good, acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

L-32 Now, if the Lord willing, I want to take my subject for this morning, on: God's Power To Transform.
That you might not be conformed to this world: but be... transformed by the renewing of your mind, now, and prove that which is that good, perfect, and acceptable, will of God.

L-33   It's an old familiar text that many of your pastors has used down through your time. It's been used since It was written. But yet, one thing about the Word of God, It never grows old, because It's God. It never grows old. Through every generation now, for pretty near, about twenty-eight hundred years, or better, this Word of God has been read by man, priests, and so forth, and never does It grow old. I've been reading It, myself, for some thirty-five years. And each time I read It, I find something new that I looked over the first time. Because, It is inspired, It is God in letter form. See, It's the attributes of God speaking fore, forth, and is placed on paper.

L-34   Many times, man said, "Well, now, man wrote this Bible." No. The Bible says, Itself, that God wrote the Bible. It is the Word of God.

L-35 And It never can fail. Jesus said, "Heavens and earth will fail, pass away, but My Words shall never fail." And It cannot fail, and being God, because It's part of Him.
