22-0527A_DOES GOD EVER CHANGE HIS MIND ABOUT HIS WORD Pt-6_(BECAUSE GOD IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL)
Num 22:31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
Psa 119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Psa 119:90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
Psa 119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
Psa 119:92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Psa 119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
Pro 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
Pro 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
Pro 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
Pro 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Pro 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Pro 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
Pro 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Pro 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
Pro 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
Pro 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Pro 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Pro 8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
Pro 8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Pro 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Pro 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Pro 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
Pro 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
1Th 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
1Th 4:2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
1Th 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1Th 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
1Th 4:5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
1Th 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
1Th 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
1Th 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
1Th 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
1Th 4:10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
1Th 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
1Th 4:12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN: PRAYER, IT EVEN
CHANGES EVERYTHING. IT'LL
CHANGE THE MIND OF GOD.
07 So therefore
that's the reason, said, "The prayer of faith shall save
the sick," that individual prayer. "The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much." Oh,
if you only knew, that in your hand Christ gave us the authority with His Name
by being Christians, the most powerful weapon the world has ever known: Prayer,
it even changes everything. It'll
change the mind of God. It did do it. After death was pronounced to a man, he
prayed; God told the prophet, "Go back and tell him I heard him." See
there, prayer, hold on...

No, the Bible said he would deceive the elected if it was possible. But it isn't
possible, because God chose them before the foundation of the world. See? The Lamb... Jesus Christ was the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world. When God even puts in His mind,
when He speaks that Word, It can never change, It can never alter. See, because
He--He--He's infinite, and His Words will come to pass.
THE.PATMOS.VISION_ JEFF.IN ROJC 69-130 SUNDAY_ 60-1204E
BUT IF
YOU COULD EVER SHAKE THE WHOLE THING LOOSE, COME BACK TO KNOW THAT HE IS GOD,
AND HIS WORDS CAN NO MORE FAIL THAN HE CAN FAIL
19 Just think, the
very... The earth that
we're setting on tonight is the Word of God made manifest. The world was framed
together by things which does not even appear. He just said, "Let there
be," and it was. How easy it is for that God to heal a sick body then, if
He can build a creation by just speaking it. See, His Word, if we could only
get faith to see what His Word is. We are so earthbound and so conglomerated in our minds that we... Oh, I
don't know. We've had so many indocumations, a shot from this one, a shot from
that one, and--and it's just got us to a place he all twisted up. But if you could ever shake the whole thing loose, come
back to know that He is God, and His Words can no more fail than He can fail...
And if that Word fails, then God fails;
and if God fails, or... He isn't God. See? So... And remember, He can't say one
thing here and something else over here; He's got to stay with His first
decision in order to be God. So we just...
JUST STAY RIGHT WITH GOD,
JUST STAY RIGHT WITH IT, IT'LL BRING YOU RIGHT ON THROUGH THE FOG

20 And He's only asked us one
thing: to believe that what He said is the Truth, and He'll bring it to pass.
Oh, how beautiful. You expected a spontaneous thing to happen; sometimes it
just takes a little bit of faith. It won't make a miracle, but if you'll hold
on to it, it'll bring you out; just stay right with it. Like He
said, "The seed of a mustard, the smallest among all seeds..." But
did you ever notice, mustard won't mix with nothing. You can't cross
mustard up with anything; it won't cross. And if you got faith, just a little bit of faith that
won't cross up with any unbelief or any churchanity or dogmas, just stay right with God, just stay right with it, it'll
bring you right on through the fog, take you right out.
Yeah. Just stay with that faith.

E-84 Now, how
could I stand and teach you theology? What good would it do me to tell you that
God one time healed the sick, and made the cripples to walk and the blind to
see; and poured out His Spirit, and they had discernment of spirit, and done
all these things; and the sign of the Messiah, the resurrection, followed them down through a church age;
and then tell you those days were past? What good does a historical God do, if He isn't the same God today?
What good would it so to give your canary bird vitamins to
make good feathers and strong wing bones, and keep him in a cage? What
good is a school of theology, if you can't let the person know that God still
is God? If He's just a historical thing, He's past. But He's not dead; He's
alive forevermore. He's here now. He's Christ. Certainly.

E-85 We need to come together and reason it out.
What kind of a church was it at first? That's the kind of church... God
is infinite and cannot change His mind. God makes a decision, He has to keep
it. His first decision
of a real Christian church happened on a Pentecostal experience. Now, that
wasn't a Pentecostal organization; that was a Pentecostal experience, which can
come to Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, or whosoever will. That's an experience
that comes.

God's love. Love is the most powerful thing that there is in the world. It

one another, loving the cause of God, loving Christ, loving suffering humanity.
That's how you conquer.
Yes, they had a
conference, and they got orders, and they went forth, and they preached the
Word of God with boldness.

163 God said,
"Come here, Moses. Come here. Come up here on top... You're been a
faithful servant." (Like the woman with the high heels, "You
climbed," see.) "Look over yonder. See the promised land?"
"O Lord!"
"But you're not
going over. You took My permissive will, down here at the Rock. You have
glorified yourself, see, and not Me. You sanctified yourself. You didn't
sanctify Me. You didn't keep My original Word, what I told you to do."
Yet, the waters did come.
You can lay hands on the sick and they recover. You can
prophesy, or speak with tongues. But, the thing is, keep His
original Word! God don't change His mind, friend. You've got to keep His
commission, His will.
"Oh, well, that was for the disciples."
DOES.GOD.EVER.CHANGE.HIS.MIND.ABOUT.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-9 SUNDAY_ 65-0418E
164 He doesn't change. If He's still got a disciple, that's
the same commission. "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel.
These signs shall follow them that believe." It's never change. He can't
change.
Now, you can say, "Well, I tell you, it ain't for this
day." Oh, you Balaamite! You see? See, God don't change.
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
165 Just look at the
Balaamites today. "Oh, I know, in the Bible they baptized in Jesus' Name,
but, look, all the people..."
I don't care what the people has done. "There is not
another Name under Heaven given among men whereby you can be saved."
"No remission of sin, only through the Name of Jesus Christ." What,
how good you are, what you do, that don't have one thing to do with it. It's
God's original Word; you got to stay with That. Whew! All right.
166 "Obedience to His Word is better than sacrifice." You

184 So now the great harlot of Revelations
17, these Balaam teachers with their false doctrine, is marrying the church
into that kind of a mess. Watch when it comes to the showdown at the end time,
look the weakness of it now. Nine hundred and something different
organizations, one pulling one way, and one the other. There is no unity among
them. And they're trying to bring unity; not backed by the Word of God, God's
original plan. They are taking it in by a politics and an organization.
God don't change His
mind. He stays right with His Word. He said, "Heavens and earth will pass
away, but My Word won't." That's right. He stays with His original Word. Oh, my!
185 Though they
still reason against It, just like they did, and just... There is only one
thing to do. He won't change It. Just believe. Because, both heavens and earth
will pass away; His Word will never fail. See?

186 You
see where you're getting married into? See the politics and things, how
they're trying to join the church together by a politics in the church? We are
not joined to Christ by politics.
We are joined, the Church, to Christ, by the baptism of
the Holy Ghost. And the way you know the baptism of the Holy Ghost, is 'cause
that Spirit in you identifies every Word of God to be the Truth. That's right. "For
whosoever shall take one Word out of It, or add one word to It, his part will
be taken from the Book of Life."
187 Yet, "He
prospers," you say. You can't believe That by prosperity. You can't judge
God by prosperity. The world prospers. Balaam prospered by it.
But, brother, you judge God by His Word. He keeps His
Word and identifies It the Truth. So, remember, friend, as long as you live,
don't you never forget this: God doesn't change His mind. Yet, He will bless.
He will let you go His permissive will, but He won't change His mind. He won't
change His plan. He won't change His Word, for you. No, sir.
You've got to change. You can't have God's Word to
match your experience; you've got to have your experience to match God's Word.
See? That's the way you've got...
*AND GOD IS ETERNAL. WE KNOW HE IS. HE IS EVERLASTING… AND GOD CANNOT
CHANGE HIS MIND NOR HIS WAY.

56 And God is Eternal. We know He is. He is everlasting. He never had a beginning,
or He can never have an end. Eternity never started, it never ends, because
it's Eternal.
57 And God cannot change His mind nor His way. That's why
that we, as people who will not accept creeds, if it's contrary to the Word,
because we believe that God and His Word is the same. We believe
that the Bible says in Saint John, the 1st chapter, that, "In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And
the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." Therefore when God says
anything, He cannot, tomorrow or any other time, ever take it back; when God is
ever called on the scene, to make a decision. And His one decision is Eternal.
It can never be changed.
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
58 And God was called to make a decision for
the human race, in the garden of Eden, when the first sin was committed. Could
He ever be able to redeem His lost child back into fellowship with Him again?
And He fixed one program. It's never changed, by the way of the blood. And
follow the Scriptures, it never did alter or change, and it never can, because
it's God's decision, by the Blood. Although, we tried to alter it. We've tried
to educate it. We've tried to denominate it. We've tried to do everything there
is in man's law, to try to change That, like Adam did by fig leaves and so
forth. But it still ever remains, the Blood is the only place of fellowship.
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
59 Therefore, together tonight, we can
stand, not as one denomination, maybe many of us together. But we can't stand
here to represent one denomination, we have to stand here in this fellowship
under the Blood of Jesus Christ. We can all be brethren, sisters. God makes a
way for man, and then man refuses to walk in that way, then God has got a right
to ask, "Why didn't you do it?" And that's what He did then, and
that's what He does now, and that's why He will, what He will ask at the
Judgment. They've asked, "Why?"
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
60 Now, our Scripture reading started off,
just immediately after the death of Ahab, a bad king, a borderline believer, a
man who knowed what was right to do, and yet did not have the courage to step
out and do what he knowed was right to do.
61 I just think, if
this--if this world isn't contaminated today with Ahabs, this Christendom that
we live in, it's contaminated with Ahabs, with man who really know that it's
right to give your life and be... to God, and be filled with the Spirit, and to
follow the teachings of this Bible, and yet without the courage to stand and do
it. Reminds me again of another situation like that in Sodom.
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
62 The Bible said, "The sins of Sodom,
vexed the righteous soul of Lot, daily." And how that the man's soul was
righteous, and he looked out upon the sins of the land, and he knowed that what
was wrong, that they were doing wrong, and yet without the courage to stand for
his conviction.
63 No wonder the
whole world has become a Sodom and Gomorrah, and how that the Lots today,
across the nation and around the world, standing in churches, who is convinced
that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that His power
is just as real today as it ever was, without the courage to stand in the
pulpit and to denounce sin, because of some barrier that would excommunicate
them from a fellowship that they had joined into. Still comes back to the Blood
of Jesus Christ, the only remedy.
"Why? Why?"
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
64 Ahaziah was--was the son of Ahab, had
been brought up in the kind of a home that--that was a--a lukewarm home. It
wasn't altogether Christian. His mother was a heathen. And his father had
married out of fellowship, married a woman that was not a believer.
65 And that always
makes a bad home for any kid to be raised in, that when unbelief and faith
tries to mix together.
66 And, now, if the
father would have been a real strong man in his faith, the child might have had
a better opportunity, but he--he didn't. He didn't have. He knew that there was
God. He knew that there was a Jehovah. And then he... his mother's gods, and so
forth. He was all confused. Then after the death of his father, this boy in
this condition, kind of a mixed up, one way and another.
67 And if that ain't
a picture of the lands today! One in the family is this a way, and one another,
and one going this way and one going that way. No wonder we are producing so much
juvenile delinquency, and all other kinds of stuff, under the name of
Christianity. It's because there is no unity. There is no real call out, and
stand for God.
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
68 Now we find that, this fellow falling
heir to his father's throne. One day, up in the top of his balcony somewhere,
walking around, he--he fell through the--the lattice. Might have been over
intoxicated and fell through the lattice, down probably on the bottom floor,
struck a bench or something, and broke a few ribs or bruised him up. And the
sickness must have started an infection somewhere, or the bruise, and caused
him to have fever. And he was pretty sick.
69 Course, them
days, they didn't have the remedies that they have now. Perhaps the doctors
came and done what they could for the fellow, but they didn't have the
sufficiency. Then he knowed his only thing that he could do would be to go to a
higher power than what the doctors could produce in their terminology of
medicine. And he thought he would go then; and he sent to his mother.
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
70 What a lesson that ought to be to
mothers! A kid will usually listen to his mama.
71 And he went to
his, sent to his mother's god, Baal-zebub, over to Ekron, where his statue was,
his monument. And said, "Go consult the priests over there, and let them
consult their statue of Baal-zebub, whether I will recover of this sickness
that I have, or not."

72 But you know, that man, really, could you
imagine? A people who was supposed to be a god-fearing people, would let such a
man rule over them, is because a lukewarm condition. It was the condition that
the church had got into, that put such a person in power, or permitted it. I
don't think times have changed very much; they still seem to be a whole lot the
same way. And let this man rule, have the say-so over the country, that would
consult some statue of some pagan idea about his condition.
73 And then, you
know, but behind all of it, no matter how much it seems that God has turned His
face from the people, He does that sometime to see what kind of an attitude you
take. Every son that cometh to God has got to be tried and chastened.
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
74 And then there is a little spot in a man,
or woman, when they're born of the Spirit of God, that's Eternal.
75 And you'll get
into a place sometime to where every... Everything that's human about you, in
reasoning, the devil can reason it away from you. But when it all breaks away,
then, if that Eternal Life isn't there, you will fall also, because you can
reason yourself away from God.
76 But a man that
claims to be a Christian, has no right in the pulpit, or has no right in the
office, a leader anywhere, until first he has climbed them steps into a place
to where he is born of the Spirit of God, filled with the Holy Ghost, in such a
way that nobody can explain it away from him.
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
77 God, when He sent Moses down to Egypt, to
deliver the people, first He took him on the back side of the desert, and took
all the theology he had in him out, in forty years, and then appeared to him. He
knowed more about God, in five minutes, in the Presence of that burning bush,
than he knowed in the forty years of learning that he got.
78 That's what the
church needs tonight, is another burning-bush experience, where slick-tongued
people... Where, the Scripture says that, "The two spirits in the last
days will be so close, it'd deceive the very elected if possible."
WHY_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0626
79 A man ought to first get on that sacred
ground with God; where all the theologians, all the doctors of divinity, all
the reasonings, all the atheists, nothing else can ever explain that away from
him. He was there when God come, and he
knows what took place. You can't reason it out of him; he was there when it
happened. That's the kind of man we need today in the government, in the
church, and anywhere else, in the times like this. For leadership, we need a
man that's filled with the Holy Ghost.
80 That's what the church needs today; not a
theologian, but a Spirit-filled, born-again man, full of the Holy Ghost. I tell you, if we had more of that, the church would look a little
different than it does in the present time. Things would be different if we
just had more man filled with God's Spirit, not going after traditions of the
elders, and so forth.
