***IT WOULD BE EASIER, AS WE SAID LAST NIGHT, FOR ALL THE STARS TO JUST VANISH OUT OF THE SKIES, THE SUN, MOON, AND EARTH TO PASS AWAY, BUT GOD'S WORD CAN NEVER PASS AWAY.

E-18    …..Now, notice. Last night we left Abraham where God had confirmed the covenant with him that he would--swore to him by an oath by Himself (there's no other greater He could swear by), that He would keep His promise to Abraham and his seed; and the promise was given unconditionally. And what we were trying to do was to get the fear out of people's hearts and mind. That's one of the greatest curses that's in the Church today is the people who are afraid to lay hold of God's Word, the promise.

How could God ever take back one of His Words? Why, it would be easier, as we said last night, for all the stars to just vanish out of the skies, the sun, moon, and earth to pass away, but God's Word can never pass away. It's eternal and It's forever right. And oh, how I love to rest my weary soul upon every word of It. It just seems like when you could just hang it up there and say, "There it is." It's got to happen 'cause God said so. And if God promised it, God has to keep His Word.

  E-19    At nighttime when these visions come, that's exactly the--my plea to God. "You have promised it, God." Therefore, I've never had one minute's fear or worry, because that I know that God promised it. And in Africa, being challenged by witch doctors, and soothsayers, and in India by all kinds of hypnotizers, and fakers, and everything, never seen a time but what God stood right by His Word, and--and brought it out in a great victory at every time.

Now, that's... A few times like that, then you get a confidence in what God's saying, if you see Him answer it. That's the reason, if Jesus is risen from the dead tonight, and proves Hisself to be alive here with us, then we ought to have supreme confidence in every word that He said, because His Words are true.

GOD'S.COVENANT.WITH.ABRAHAM_  CHARLOTTE.NC  SATURDAY_  56-0428

  E-20    And then, we found out that where God made the covenant with Abraham, and not only Abraham, but to his Seed after him. And we find out that we, who are Christians today, that's dead in Christ, are Abraham's seed and are heirs according to the promise. Then, the promise is just as sure to us as it was to Abraham.

Now, if be so, that we are Abraham's seed, we have to have Abraham's faith. And Abraham believed God and called those things which were not as though they were, because God made the promise. Isn't that marvelous?

HE WILL DO AMONG HIS PEOPLE UNTIL HE COMES AGAIN.

E-75    Friend, don't think me to be rashal, arrogant, no. But oh, my, what a blessed promise and what a truth. Do you realize what sin is? The Bible said, "Go, and disbelieve no more, or a worse than this will happen to you." How many know that? It's true. Jesus said so.

Remember, the covenant, remember the piece of paper, the covenant that God tore in two with Christ. Christ was both God and man. Do you know that? He was with the Holy Spirit. He said, that, "You'd be baptized with the same Holy Spirit not many days hence." And God cut Him in two to make a covenant with us, swore by Himself that He'd do it. And He told Abraham He would do it and the covenant would be to His seed, Him and His seed afterwards, and tore the thing in two, Christ at--at Calvary, tore Him in two, raised up His body on the third day, sets at the right hand as a memorial that God has swore Himself. My, how can your heart ever beat away from it?

FAITH_  PRINCE.ALBERT.SK  WEDNESDAY_  56-0815

  E-76    God swore, "When I see the Blood, I'll pass over you." God swore by Himself for there's no other that He could swear by, "I'll keep the covenant. I'll confirm it with any persons that will believe it and accept it." And He said, "I'll do more than that. A little while, I'll send back the Holy Spirit." Which is the tore part from Christ, and He'll be with you, in you to the end of the world; and the same things He did when He was in this body, He will do among His people until He comes again.

FAITH_  PRINCE.ALBERT.SK  WEDNESDAY_  56-0815

  E-77    Now, the Holy Spirit is here, and each night... We're not a great big number of people. We don't care to be a big number of people. We... I never want to be big. I want to be honest. If it... I never want to be great; I want to be sincere. I--I--I--I want to love the Lord. I want to serve the Lord. I want to help the people.

Now, only way I can do it is tell you what the Word said. Then, it's up to God to come and confirm that Word. Now, I want to ask you something. When Jesus Christ, God's Son, was here on earth, what kind of a works did He do? Let's see what He did. He said, "I do nothing, till the Father shows Me first by vision." Is that right? Saint John 5:19. No, He said, "I don't do it Myself. I do nothing. I can do nothing till the Father shows Me first."

***THE FIGHT WAS FINISHED AT GETHSEMANE AND AT CALVARY. AND NOW WE JUST STAND AS CONQUERORS.

66    Do you believe that to be truth, solemnly believe it to be the truth, not one waver of doubt in your heart? Now just remember this, the working of the Holy Spirit is so simple that it confuses the intellectual mind. The most simple things that I've every... I've seen the Holy Spirit do this; I'd say things that, why, I wouldn't think about it being that way. If I had to use my own mind, I'd say, "Well, that couldn't be right." But it always is right. He does things just so simple. And He does things to make Hisself known to His people. God is with His people. He's in the midst of His people. He loves them, and He wants to do for them, and to help them, and to just let them know not what He will do, but what He has done. He's already done it; it's yours. It belongs to you. It's a free gift from God our Father to His Church.

POSSESSING.THE.ENEMY'S.GATES_  JEFF.IN  V-11 N-6  SUNDAY_  59-1108

  67    Now, how the intellectual mind will be so twisted up, like in the days of Daniel, and in the days of the Hebrew children, in--in the many that we've talked about this morning. See, the great intellectual world in that day was just as hard to overcome as it is now. It's always been the enemy, to their way of seeing and their modern science and things, was just as complicated and things to the mind then as ours is today. See, it was the same thing. But there were those always, who dared to stay there and say, "God is right. God's Word is true."

And you, you don't have to conquer, because He conquered. The only thing you have to do is just go up and take--stand in the gate, say, "It's mine. This is mine. God gave it to me, my salvation. If I want the Holy Spirit, God gave It to me. Promise is to me, to our children, all that's far off, as many as the Lord shall call." That's why I stand just...

POSSESSING.THE.ENEMY'S.GATES_  JEFF.IN  V-11 N-6  SUNDAY_  59-1108

  69    …..He was the Royal Seed; no one could take those gates but Him. All those back there were shadows of His coming, but when He come it finished the whole fight. The fight was finished at Gethsemane and at Calvary. And now we just stand as conquerors. See, there's no fighting to do. We, the fight's over, we just own it. Abstract deed to it, a written guarantee by God our Father, Who raised His hand, said, "I'll swear by Myself that his Seed shall possess the gate of the enemy." And there it is; it's already took. "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed." It's already done. Finished work, we just possess it. "And the works that I do, shall you also." The King is with us this morning. His great blessings, the Holy Spirit moving over us... To feel that glorious feeling, to know that it's exactly with the--in line with the Word of God; it gives us such a wonderful consolation to know that--that God is our Father.

Isa 45:22  Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 

Isa 45:23  I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 

Isa 45:24  Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 

Isa 45:25  In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
