<TITLE>06. Par 47-56</TITLE>L-47 "Renewing of your mind." The things that you once thought upon, to be precious, lay that aside and be transformed to something else; what you was one time, to what you are now. See?
... by the renewing of your mind, that you might prove... that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

L-48 Oh, that's what we all want to know, how to do it. See? We are here, we love Him; He saved us, now we want to know what to do. And we're trying to take a little step this morning, to raise up just a little bit higher. Sometimes we have to hit things that... You just hold on for a few... till we see what it comes out to be.

L-49   Now in Genesis, the 1st chapter, "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." We realize that the water... And--and the Bible said, "In the beginning back there," that, this, "the world was without form, and was void." There was nothing but just a darkness of chaos. And--and what a horrible shape it must have been in. Nothing but way into the darkness yonder, without light or anything, and the churning of the water, and that wandering star twisted around and around the orbits out there somewhere. It must have been a--a terrific mass of--of--of something lost, like it was, couldn't find its way.

L-50 And that's what we become when we become wandering stars, away from God, just without hope, without God; without, just churning around, out in darkness, not knowing when we... where we're going.

L-51 And God took that great chaos of darkness, and transformed it into a garden of Eden, see, by His Word. That's how we're transformed, by God's Word. When God said, "Let there be light," and that mass of creation out there come over in around the sun, and begin to revolve around the sun, and became a garden of Eden because it obeyed the Word of God. It done the perfect will of God, for it was transformed from chaos, into a garden of Eden, by the Word of God.

L-52   Now that's what we are here for. That's my Message, has been all along, is the Word of God. We must hold to That regardless of what other things take place. Always stay with that Word. Always check out your motives and objectives, if it is according to the Word of God. If it isn't, leave it alone. See? But if it's with the Word of God, and lines up with the Word of God, then, that, you hold to that.

L-53 Now God sometimes... Just like your little group here this morning. He lets it not happen just overnight, He lets, God... We're the one that gets in a hurry. God is never in a hurry. He just says it, and--and it's going to be. For, when He says anything, it's got to be. It's just going to be! He, He lets it take its time. He let...

L-54   The Hebrew children, them famous characters of the Scripture, that was standing on God's Word to be true, they said, "Our God is able to deliver us from this fiery furnace. Nevertheless, see, we won't bow to the image, because it's against the Word, see. Although, if He slays us, He'll raise us up again, you see." See, and they... He let them walk right up to the edge of this great furnace, and drop into it, before it seemed like He even paid any attention, like He wasn't even watching them. But He is always watching, though. He is always watching for this.

L-55   Now God said, "Let there be light." And six thousand years it took this Eden to come into existence, and we are taught in the Scripture, "For one day upon the earth is... or--or--or is a thousand years, with God; a thousand years upon the earth, is one day with God." So it took six thousand years to make this earth, and to bring it into an Eden. But, you see, it was God, the great Master of all intelligence, and He--He had in His mind what He wanted to do.

L-56 Just like when the man that built this trailer, when the man that... When you brethren here that designed this park, how you would make it, it was in your mind, you kept working that vision out.
