23-0515P_HE SWORE BY HIMSELF Pt-13

Heb 6:10  For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 

Heb 6:11  And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 

Heb 6:12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 

Heb 6:13  For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 

Heb 6:14  Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 

Heb 6:15  And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 

Heb 6:16  For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 

1Ki 10:1  And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions. 
1Ki 10:2  And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. 
1Ki 10:3  And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not. 

Isa 42:1  Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 
Isa 42:2  He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 
Isa 42:3  A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 
Isa 42:4  He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 
Isa 42:5  Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 
Isa 42:6  I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 
Isa 42:7  To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 
Isa 42:8  I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 
Isa 42:9  Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. 
Isa 42:10  Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. 
Isa 42:11  Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 
Isa 42:12  Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. 

*GOD PROMISES ANYTHING, THEN HE COMES DOWN AND PROVES HIS WORD TO BE RIGHT.

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  94      He did in that age just as He did in all ages, and like He will do, just as He promised to do. God promises anything, then He comes down and proves His Word to be right. All that believe, all that believe the Message of that age, come in and was saved. So will it be in any age. All who did not believe the Message and the messenger, perished.

*AND EVERYTHING THAT'S SAVED IN GOD, MUST BE IN GOD, AND CANNOT PERISH…

95    And all who truly believe the Word of God today, will be taken out. All that does not believe the Word of God, will perish with the world, 'cause they are of the world, and everything that's in the world must perish with the world. And everything that's saved in God, must be in God, and cannot perish, "I'll give them Eternal Life, and raise them up at the last day." Now, what a consolation to every believer, to know, when you're in Christ, that just as sure as God keeps His Word and perishes the world, He keeps His Word and raises up His people and saves them. He proves it.

* IN THE MIDST OF UNSCIENTIFICS AND SCIENTIFICS, AND--AND AMONGST ANYTHING, WHATEVER IT IS, GOD PROVES THAT HE'S RIGHT, ALWAYS PROVES HIS WORD.

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  96      He proves His Word of promise true to Abraham in his age. Notice, it was unscientific, in Abraham's age, for a man of a hundred years old, and a woman at ninety, for them to have a baby, way past the age. But Abraham could not explain it. He'd go to the doctor, and say, "Doctor, is it possible?"

97    "It's impossible!" Go to the hospital and make ready for the mother to have the baby, or whatever it would be if you want to compare it with this age, they'd call him insane, "He's out of his mind."

98    But God said! And he... The Bible said in Romans, 4th chapter, that "Abraham staggered not at the promise of God, through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to God. For he endured as seeing Him Who is invisible, and was satisfied, held on." Holding fast, for he was fully persuaded that what God promised, God was able to do! And we're suppose to be his children. Amen! Now I feel religious, stimulated, just think of that! Oh, He proved it, after all those years, He turned Abraham, and Sarah back to a young woman, and had the baby. And Abraham and Sarah lived... Forty-five years later, Sarah died, and Abraham remarried again after being a hundred and forty-five years old, and had seven other sons besides his daughters. When, he was past bearing, he was sterile, he--he had no seed, no life left in him, almost another hundred years before that. Amen! Why? He considered not his own body, he considered not the deadness of Sarah's womb. He considered only what God said, and knowed God would prove what He said. Amen! God proves what He says He'll do. In the midst of unscientifics and scientifics, and--and amongst anything, whatever it is, God proves that He's right, always proves His Word. He's right, all others are wrong.

*GOD WILL STILL PROVE HIS WORD "RIGHT." REST YOURSELF RIGHT IN THAT WORD.

102    Looked like that it... it was horrible for Joseph to be considered dead, and poor Isaac... or Jacob, his father. Or Isaac, his father... rather, to Jacob, that was, Isaac was his grandfather. Jacob, his father, to believe that his own son had been killed by animals. How hard it was on little Joseph to know that the poor little fellow, away from his people, betrayed by his brethren, throwed into a ditch, supposingly to be dead, sheep blood put upon his coat, where, they had slayed a lamb to eat it, put the blood upon it and took it to his father, and knowing all this. But Joseph could remember one thing, that the hand of the Lord was upon him. He knew that he was a believer. No matter how much his brothers turned him out, how much there was no cooperation or nothing else, Joseph knew God would keep His Word. When he saw that vision of all of them bowing before him, he knowed that had to come to pass because it was THUS SAITH THE LORD. Amen. Don't care how unreasonable it seemed, Joseph knew it was the truth. No matter how hard the task was, and what he had to go through with, he knowed someday every one of them would bow before his feet. How is he going to do it when they hated him? But he knowed God would prove His Word so, every time.

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  103      So will He do it today! God will prove His Word so, no matter what science says, "It can't be done." How educated, intellectual we get, how the churches have gone off into a--a bunch of formality and so forth, God will still prove His Word "right." Rest yourself right in that Word.

*THAT'S ALL HE NEEDED, WAS THE WORD. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TODAY.

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  104      Yes, Joseph had much to go through, but, to go down into Egypt, but God brought him out just exactly like He said; a very beautiful type of today, if we had time to go into it. I believe we have, before, here at the tabernacle, went through it. But God kept His Word, 'cause, they had to stay down there. It was hard for those Hebrew children down there in Egyptian bondage, which had been blessed and given the fruit of the land, the best place, Goshen, to find out that they had to become slaves; and those mothers to have to give into the hands of an Egyptian soldier, the fruit of their womb, their darling little baby, and see him stand there, take a big knife and just cut it open and throw it over on the ground, feed it to the 'gaters. Now, it was a hard thing to them, to have to go through that.

105    But one day the predestinated seed was born, a child that was a proper child. There was something about him seemed strange. Out on the back side of the desert, one day, the Holy Ghost came down in the form of a Pillar of Fire and settled in a bush, and said, "I have heard the groans of My people, and I remember My promise. And the time of deliverance is at hand, and I'm sending you down there to do it." With a stick in his hand, his wife on a mule, a baby in her lap, he did it by the power of Almighty God. The most ridiculous thing, what would--what would a crooked stick be to ten thousand spears? But, you see, God is in it. It depends on where His Word is. Moses had His Word, Pharaoh had spears. Moses had the Word.

*THAT'S ALL HE NEEDED, WAS THE WORD. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TODAY.

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  106      That's all he needed, was the Word. That's all you need today. It's not a credential from some church. You don't need a denomination to back you up. You need the Word, to take the Rapture with It. You don't need some credential. You don't need some long history of some school, to be healed this morning. You need to accept the Word, that does it!

107    You don't need the doctor's word. If the doctor says he's done all he can do, that's all he can do. If he says you got cancer, tumor, you're going blind, you're deaf, dumb, whatever it is, that doesn't matter. If you could take that Word to that burning promise of the bush yonder, amen, something's going to happen! God will prove His Word to be so, every time that It's received on the right kind of ground. That's what you're needing, His Word. He proves It, He keeps It. You can rest assure that It's right.

*HE PROVES HIS WORD IN EVERY AGE, BY THE MOST UNUSUAL WAY, BUT HE ALWAYS DOES IT IN THE SAME WAY

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  108      He proves His Word in every age, by the most unusual way, but He always does it in the same way. See? What did He do in the days of Noah, when He's fixing to deliver the remnant? He sent them Noah, the prophet. He sent Noah, a sign.

109    And now notice, when He comes to deliver the children of Israel, what does He do? His same way, He sends His prophet. His prophet's got the Word. The signs and wonders of the Word promised backs it up, that it's exactly the Truth. Israel made her march to the promised land, because they believed it.

2Th 2:15  Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 

2Th 2:16  Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 

2Th 2:17  Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
