22-0613P_THE GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY Pt-8 (EVERY WALK IN LIFE, GOD IS INTERESTED IN YOU)
*THE ONLY WAY THAT WE
CAN EVER HAVE FAVOR WITH GOD; GOD IS RICH IN MERCY, TODAY, BUT WE'VE GOT TO
RESPECT WHAT HE SAID ABOUT IT.

84 And today, friend, the only way
that we can ever have favor with God; God is rich in mercy, today, but we've
got to respect what He said about it. You just can't take what somebody else said. You've got to take what God said. He said,
"Let every man's word be a lie, and Mine true."
85 Today we are told
that, "All you have to do," in many places, "is join church,
have a creed, or something like that; or say a prayer, or put your name on a
book, or be sprinkled or baptized a certain way, or something like that. That's
all you have to do." But that's wrong.
86 To be an eagle of God, you've got to follow the Word, day by day.
You've got to continue, feed upon the Word.

87 Now we find them, after this time,
murmuring again, weakened in faith, after God had showed mercy to them. And we
find them murmuring with God, and, when they did, they were dying with snake
bites. Well, they deserved it. They certainly did. Anybody that would mistake God's Word and do these things that they
did, they deserved to die. Every one of them desire, deserved to die in the
wilderness.
88 But when they
were so sick that even doctor Moses and none of them could do anything about
it, and they were dying by the thousands; but God, rich in mercy, He made a way
of escape for those who would believe Him. He made an antidote for it, by
setting up a brass serpent. God in His rich... God made a way of escape so His
believing children could be healed.
*EVERY WALK OF LIFE,
GOD IS INTERESTED IN YOU.
89 God is
interested in everything that's wrong, everything that you anticipate in. Every walk of life, God is interested in you. You are His child, and He is
rich in mercy. He wants to do for you.

90 The people sinned later, by taking this same thing that God had made an atonement
for them, by the brass serpent, which represented sin already judged, and they idolized that
gift. And that sinned again. "God will not share
His glory with nobody." Therefore, we can't have no two, three,
four gods. There is only one God. He'll not
share His glory with anything else. He
is God, alone, see; so as the heathens have many gods. We have the one
God, and He will not share His glory with another, neither will He let anything
be an idol in front of Him. Even though He had made an atonement for the
people, and it was God's Word, it was right; but when they become to idolizing
that, then they got in trouble.
THE.GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-2 TUESDAY_ 65-0119
91 Now that's just the same thing, I think,
that's happened to our church ages. God sent us the message of Martin Luther
with his message, John Wesley, the pentecostal message, but what did we do with
it? The very same thing that they did with that brass serpent, we idolized it,
"I belong to this, and I belong to that." You see, you belong to something without the sincerity that's
connected with genuine godly worship of the Word.
92 What happened? The Bible, we are told in the Bible, that, "The prophet took that idol and destroyed it." Hallelujah!
IN THE DAY THAT WHEN WE WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN IN THAT CHAOS OF DARKNESS
OUT THERE, BUT GOD, RICH IN MERCY, HAS SENT US THE REAL GENUINE HOLY GHOST, WITH HIS OWN INTERPRETATION TO IT
93 What we need on the scene today is a
prophet that will destroy the idol of denominations, that thinks they're going
into Heaven upon belonging to some creed or a denomination; needs to be
destroyed and burnt up, throwed away. God is full of mercy. He is rich in
mercy. In the day that when we would have all
been in that chaos of darkness out there, but God, rich in mercy, has sent us
the real genuine Holy Ghost, with His
Own interpretation to It,
right here in the building every night. God, rich in His mercy,
how wonderful we find Him to be! Yes, sir.
94 Now all they
thought they could do was to just go to this snake, or this little thing that
God had made out there, had Moses to make and hang on a pole, and they could be healed without any
sincerity. They just stood and looked at it. And they got to idolizing it, and
God sent a prophet along and destroyed it.
* NOW GOD MAKES A WAY,
BUT IF YOU REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT
THE.GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-2 TUESDAY_ 65-0119
95 Now,
all that refused to look at that serpent in the wilderness, they perished. Now God makes a way, but
if you refuse to look at it, if you will sit across the street, if you will
hold onto some creed and refuse to look straight into the Word and see whether
It's right or not; all that refused to look, they perished. And God is a never-changing God. And all who refused
to look, perished. So is it today,
the same thing.
96 Then the people sinned later, and as they've always did, and made the idol out of--out of it, making it a--a--a... trying to get healing without sincerity, and they "belonged to something," and the way we do today. And now we see then, the difference of it, was, that God...
97 It was a good
atonement and a good sign for that time. That time, it was all right. But it
was just to be for that time, for that journey. That's all it will work for,
that journey.
THE.GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-2 TUESDAY_ 65-0119
98 And the message that Martin Luther
brought, of justification, was all right for Luther's age. That's as far as it
went.
99 Sanctification
was fine in Wesley's age. That's as far as it went.
100 Then we come into the pentecostal age. And the restoration of the gifts is a very fine thing, it was fine in the age, but we are going beyond that now. We are beyond that, just as sure as there is a world. We've got to become beyond this thing, because we have done the same thing with it that they did before, make an idol out of it. "I belong to this order of it, I belong that order of it."
*HE WANTS THEM TO BE HEALED,
AND HE MADE A WAY FOR THEIR HEALING.
101 God will send somebody that will
smash the thing and tear it to pieces, and confirm His Word, the full Word.
Notice. Praise be to God! Now we see that that's true. God, rich in His mercy!
THE.GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-2 TUESDAY_ 65-0119
102 Then when the prophet destroyed
this, it left them without any sign of healing, of an atonement, because their
idol was destroyed. But God, rich in mercy, made them another one. And what did He do, that? He troubled water at the pool at the temple, and many come
and was healed, by stepping into this water. Jesus came down to this same pool, and saw a man that
had been laying there for a number of years, waiting for the troubling of the
water. See God, rich in mercy! Although they idolized that thing, although
the prophet had to tear it up, God made another way for them, 'cause He's rich
in mercy. He wants them to be healed, and He made a way for their healing.
103 Now, then that went on, the world become more sinful and more sinful, all the time. And finally the world got so sinful that God could have destroyed it, He said in Malachi 4, "unless I come and to smite the earth with a curse." He could have done it; just the question.
*BUT THEN GOD, RICH IN
MERCY, HE SENT FORTH A SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST.
THE.GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-2 TUESDAY_ 65-0119
104 But then God, rich in mercy, He
sent forth a Saviour, Jesus Christ. He sent forth Jesus to be both Saviour and healer.
For He said, "As Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, so must
the Son of man be lifted up," for the same purpose. He, the
atonement, that's what we have claim upon, nothing but the atonement. What Jesus purchased by His Blood, that's what we have
claims upon. And the Bible said, "He was wounded for our
transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace
was upon Him; and with His stripes we were healed." That's what we can claim, because that's what the atonement, that we
stand for, ordered for us. God, rich in mercy!
*GOD CAME HIMSELF, IN
THE FORM OF SINFUL FLESH, TO MAKE A--A--A--AN ETERNAL ATONEMENT
105 This was to be an Eternal atonement,
because He came Himself. God came Himself, in the form of
sinful flesh, to make a--a--a--an Eternal atonement; and suffered in the flesh,
and made the atonement; and returned back in the form
of the Holy Ghost, to confirm that atonement. Where no brass serpent or no
trouble's water could do it, it all pointed to that perfect Atonement. God,
rich in His mercy, has did this.
THE.GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-2 TUESDAY_ 65-0119
106 Now, today, being it's the day that we
are living in, we have come through these church ages and explained everything
away from That. Our theologians of the day has far lost that side of It. They
explain It all away, to some other day, some other age, some other something,
way back, from long ago. And Divine healing was just about played out, hardly
found anybody who would believe it. They made fun of it. Not no more than about
twenty years ago, they were making fun of it. The Pentecostals had practically
got away from it. They started in the early days, but they got away from it.
107 Look how they
did. Now they got denominational wild, running out to make them each a creed,
and so forth. Except, instead of accepting Light, as Light come in; they
organized and made themselves creeds, each one coming around, making himself a
doctrine and staying in that doctrine. And then they got so much took away till
the Holy Spirit couldn't get into the church. They just become another idol
like a brass serpent, it become a--an idolatry. Every fellow said, "I am
belong to this, and I belong to that." It was an idolatry. What a mess we
were in, at the end time.
108 But God, rich in His mercy, has
sent back the Holy Spirit upon us, and vindicating His Word tonight as He
promised He would do. God promised He would do these things. Look what He did!
THE.GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-2 TUESDAY_ 65-0119
109 Look what He did, how now we can see how
He promised each age a certain thing to happen. And we find out that it
happened just exactly like it, that He said that He would do, because He is
rich in His mercy, to always have mercy to fulfill every Word that He has
promised. He has to do it, and always, in order to stay God. Always He does
this, His Word always comes to pass in Its season. His seed that He has sowed
into the earth. What did He do? He put it here in the Word, and that's a seed.
And every time the age comes along, that seed ripens up, and then a reformation
comes forth. And He promised it, and it does that.
110 Now we did not deserve these things. We did not deserve these blessings of God, because we had went out after the things of the world, went in the error of Cain. Cain, building a nice altar and a nice church, and putting flowers upon it, and thought that's exactly what it was, "It was a bunch of apples or pears, or pomegranates, or whatever it was," that his father and mother had eat in the garden of Eden, that run them out. And so he offered that back to God, and God rejected it.
THE.GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-2 TUESDAY_ 65-0119
111 "But Abel by faith offered unto God
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain."
112 And, today, the
Bible said in Jude, that, "They have run in the way of Cain; perished in
the gainsaying of Korah." See, "run in the way of Cain,"
building altars, building churches, denominations, making it flowery, big, more
members than the rest of them; taking in things, anything that come along and
that jumped up-and-down, or shook hands, or was baptized a certain way, or
spoke in tongues, or run through the floor, they put their name on the book.
That's right. And then turn on the real Truth that be preached, and deny It.
How can it be so? Notice what a mess we were in! Notice.
113 And the Bible said, "And they went in the way of Balaam, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah." Perished in the gainsaying! What was the gainsaying of Korah? "Why, you think you're the only holy man? Why, God's... All of us are holy. The whole church is all that. Every... All of us get together, that's what we ought to do." That's where they perished, in that. And we truly deserved it. We deserved to be that.
***BUT GOD, RICH IN MERCY, HAS PULLED US OUT OF THAT CHAOS
AND LET US SEE IT BEFORE THE THING HITS HERE.
114
But God, rich in
mercy, has pulled us out of that chaos and let us see it before the thing hits
here. Rich in His mercy, and sent us back a revival of Divine healing, and the
coming again of the Power of God. According to history, no revival
ever lasted over three years. This revival carried for fifteen years, it's been
a burning fires, around and around the world. Why, because we deserved it? God, rich in His mercy, not
because we desired it or because we deserved it, rather. Just think of what
it's done!
