<TITLE>12. Par 130-140</TITLE>L-130   Oh, It should make you walk happy. That's the trouble with we today, so much difference than the Christians of old. When the real, true revelation of Jesus Christ being Emmanuel dwelled in the hearts of those man, they were rugged people. But today we're patted by denominations, with, "Oh, I tell you, they ain't got the Revelation. You come over here." You're depending on their revelation. If their revelation isn't according to the Word of God, then it's wrong; mine or anybody else's, that's where the showdown comes. The Word of God tells which is right and wrong!

L-131   Any seed has to have its ground, of course. "Therefore, all He foreknew..." See, He already knew what was going to happen. Notice, Jesus said again, about the Seed, "Some fell on rock, others in mixed ground." See, over where there's thorns, thistles, and everything else, It couldn't grow. And others on good ground, good ground, good soil, which had been prepared, already prepared.

L-132   All the man out here, he's like as a chicken, he's looking along, trying to find. He hits into this, and he hits into that, but after a while there comes a sudden Scream from Heaven. He recognizes It right quick, "That's the Word of God!" See, he knows It because there's something in his heart that's been told to him, revealed to him about It.

L-133   Notice, the prophet Isaiah said, "A virgin shall conceive." What a strange saying. How a--a man in his right mind could say that? There had never been a virgin conceive. "A virgin shall conceive!" Now, he didn't worry about saying It, he just said It. How's she going to do it? And that's not his business! He is just to say what God said He was going to do. God revealed it to him, showed him the vision; revealed it, and it was right.

L-134   Just the same God that told me that little baby would be borned by that man who couldn't have the child... have a girl. Like others and things, how it sounds strange when the doctor says, "It can't happen!"

L-135 But when God says, "It's going to happen," it depends on what kind of a word that falls in. Remember, the prophet stood up there and His Word went forth.

L-136   Like God, in Genesis 1, He said, "Let there be light. Let there be this. Let there be that." Created man in His Own image, image of God created He them, male and female, and there was nothing on the earth yet. Then, we find out in Genesis 2, here, He made man in His Own image. There was no man to till the soil, after the rest the creation. What was it? It's His Words, He was speaking It. And when He spoke, He said, "Let there be light." There might of not been light for eight hundred years afterward, might not a-been no light, but He said It! And as long as He said It, "Let there be a palm tree. Let there be an oak tree. Let there be this," them seeds was forming down beneath that water. That's right. And in the season, in the time, in its own season, it brought forth! It can't fail; it's God's Word. It just can't fail. It's been expressed.

L-137   Now, one day, God talked to man, face to face. But in time of Moses, when the fire was falling, they said, "Let God... Let Moses speak; not God, we might perish."

L-138 Therefore, He said, "I'll not speak to them like that no more. I'll raise them up a prophet." That's the way God's system always was.

L-139 Now, here's a prophet standing; now, he's under inspiration; he isn't thinking about his intellectual, "Now, wait a minute. If I'd say that, well, you know, the people would think I'm insane." See, that's his intellectual; there he's listening to Satan, just like Eve did.

L-140   And as long as the doctor says that "You can't live. You can't get well. You can't do this or that." As long as you listen to that, that Seed will never fall in that kind of ground and do any good. It can't. But when something tears all of that away, and It falls in that bedded ground, there's nothing can tear It out.
