E-4 You know, I--I was telling the
boys awhile ago coming over, I said about how we must be happy all the time.
God don't want you to be sad. You know what ill temper does? And that old
temper, that's one of the awfullest old things. And it--it's about sixty
percent of the cause of all sickness is temper. Yes, sir, them tam--tantrums
you fly loose, remember, you just developing a cancer, ulcer, or something
like, when you do it. When you get all stewed up about somebody, "I won't
go back there any more. Wait till I give them a piece of my mind." All right.
Remember, you're the one's going to pay for it. Just keep happy.
The little story, said there was a
little robin one morning, setting up on a limb, whistling over to his little
mate. The little mate flew down by him and said, "You know, I'm so--I'm so
worried this morning about one thing."
Said, "What?" Said, "We
robins never worry."
*WE'RE THE ONE WHO UPSETS THE WORLD. GOD MADE
IT WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL FOR US.

E-5 "But I just wonder if those
poor creatures, the human beings, that frown on their faces, they walk, I
wonder, maybe they haven't got a heavenly Father that watches over them like we
have, us robins."
That's about it. You never heard of one of them having high blood pressure, did you? No. No, you don't hear no ambulance ringing for them, or so forth (You see?), they--they live in God's true provided way. It's always us that makes things wrong. We're the one who knows science, you know; we're the smart folks. And so they... we... The birds don't change. You know the birds still build their nests just like they did in the garden of Eden; they never change. See? We're the ones who change. The Jewish brother... Now, if there's a Jew here I don't mean this; I'm a Jew too. So you know, he said, "Well," he said, "the trouble is the people." See? He said, "The bird fly down in the road to get a bug. The car runs over him." Said--said, "It's the people." So that's right too. "The bird had a right to the bug, but--but the people invented a automobile and run over him." You see, he said, "It's the people." And that's wrong. We're the one who upsets the world. God made it wonderful and beautiful for us. But we upset it by our ways. We're so scientific, you know; everything must be just this way, way we think it.
* I SAID, "I CAN SHOW YOU A BOOK THAT'LL
NEVER CHANGE. AND WHAT IT SAYS THERE, IT'LL BE JUST THE SAME FOREVER."

E-7 Mr. Moore's boy has graduated in
science and made some kind of a--a honor, or something, and some great
scientist come, and I was having a meeting in Shreveport at the time. And he
give him this honor, and when he embraced him, he said, "Now, son,"
said, "in--in the Hall of Science," said, "there's so many books
on modern science," he said, "if you'd read them all, it'd probably
take you," I forget how many years, so many years three or four years to
read all through the latest volumes of the science. Said, "When you got through all of it, all you learned
you'd have to get it out of your mind, 'cause it'd be changed by that
time." (See?) of modern science (See?), they're all changed over. See?

E-8 I never said nothing. I waited
to that night, 'cause he was going to attend service. I made a... I said,
"You know what? I heard that statement made today," but I said,
"I want to tell you something boys." I
said, "I can show you a Book that'll never change. And what It says there,
It'll be just the same forever." That's right. So let's--let's
stick with This. This is right. God said way He did things, just right.
Here some time ago I see where science
proved that--that it was wrong when Abraham said he had camels down in Gerar,
down in there, you know, and so forth. No, never was a camel down in there.
Well, you know, they got to digging
around with an old spade down there one day, and really found out there was
some camels been down in there. You see?
*IT'S
GRACE THAT BRINGS YOU TO GOD; IT'S THE WORKS THAT--THAT YOU DO FOR GOD.

E-22
"Those
who He has called, He hath already justified: those who He had justified, He
had already glorified." That's right. See? There's where we get grace and works mixed up.
Here's the whole thing in the Arminian and Calvinistic belief. Grace is what
God does for you; works is what you do for God. See? It's
grace that brings you to God; it's the works that--that you do for God.
See?
Now, as Abraham was justified by faith,
because he believed in God. Paul justified him by faith; James turns over and
justifies him by works. But Paul was speaking what God saw, and James was
speaking what man saw. If you say you are a
believer, and then act contrary to what you say, then you're not a believer. See?
If you tell God, "Yes, I now solemnly believe." Brother, you can't do
nothing but act the same way you believe. That's right. You say, "Lord, my
hand's crippled, but something in my heart tells me that You're the Lord that's
healed me. Oh, I believe it, God, with all my heart." You can't do nothing
but watch that hand move a few inches every day. See, that's it. You can't do
nothing else. See? And God's obligated to that Word
to watch over It.
* NO
MAN HAS SOUGHT GOD AT ANY TIME. BUT IT'S GOD SEEKING MAN, NOT MAN SEEKING GOD,
GOD SEEKING MAN.

E-23
From the
beginning God... We'll take, for instance, the patriarch Jacob. He was a
wondering boy; he was run away boy; he'd run away from home because he was
afraid that--that Esau was going to kill him because of something that he had
done. And he run away from home. Yet that boy was
anchored in God by a Divine promise that was made to Abraham. That's
right.
And just the same promise
that laid anchored in Jacob, lays anchored in every born again believer
tonight. God calls sovereignly without anything you done about it; there's
nothing you done. Men say, "Oh, I sought God." No man has sought God at any time. But it's God seeking
man, not man seeking God, God seeking man. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him
first." You get it? It has to be God drawing man.
* MAN IN HIS NATURE IS A--A CASTAWAY. HE'S AN
ALIEN; HE'S AWAY FROM GOD. THEN GOD BY GRACE HAS TO DRAW HIM TO HIS OWN SIDE.

WEDNESDAY_ 56-0404
E-24
Man in his
nature is a--a castaway. He's an alien; He's away from God. Then God by grace has to draw him to His own side. "And
all that the Father has given Me will come to Me." No way at all, there
ain't enough picture shows, enough dance halls, enough burlesque shows in the
country to keep you away from God. When God goes to
drawing back yonder before the foundation of the world when He put your name
down that you'd come, you're coming, that's all; that's all.
* IT NEEDS NO INTERPRETER, FOR THE BIBLE SAID
THAT GOD DOES HIS OWN INTERPRETING OF THE BIBLE.

Now we find out
then, that, "An Angel would preach anything else," besides what's...?...
already been said in the Bible, "let him be cursed." Nobody can.
Can't do that; It must be just exactly the way It says.
136 And again we read, in Revelations 22:18 and 19, "If
any man will add one word to This, or take one Word from It, God will take his
part out of the Book of Life." Right. God will take his part, though
he be a minister, whatever he may be, and his word... his name is wrote on the
Book of Life. God said, "I'll just rub it right off," that's right,
"if he adds one thing to It, or takes one Word from It." That's how
infallible God has made His Word. See? You can add to the church, or take from
the church. Don't you add to that Word, or take from It, 'cause God will take
your name right off the Book of Life. And, that's, you're finished then. See?
You can't add to It, or take from It. It's just exactly what...
* AND ALL THE SCRIPTURE IS DIVINELY GIVEN,
DIVINELY SET IN ORDER, AND THE WHOLE THING IS THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.

It
needs no interpreter, for the Bible said that God does His Own interpreting of
the Bible. "It's
of no private interpretation," said Peter. All right.
138 And all the Scripture is Divinely given, Divinely
set in order, and the whole thing is the revelation of Jesus Christ. The New and Old Testament, where
they foretold of Him coming, what He would do when He got here, and what He
would do in this age to come. So that makes Him the same yesterday, today, and forever.
See?
Like in Hebrews there, when Paul wrote
it. He is God, "Jesus Christ yesterday,"
of the Old Testament. He is "Jesus Christ today," manifested in the
flesh. "And He's Jesus Christ forever," in the Spirit, "to
come." See? See? "Same yesterday, today, and forever."
And He ever lives to make His Word live what It said It would do for that age. He is alive.
33-3 THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST -
CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1
We now come to a conclusion, such conclusion as we have already found in the Word. As much as we believe in trying to find the oldest and best manuscripts to get the best record of the Word possible, we will never get the true meaning of it by study and comparison of Scriptures, sincere as we may be. IT WILL TAKE A REVELATION FROM GOD TO BRING IT OUT. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT PAUL SAID, "WHICH THINGS WE ALSO SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS WHICH MAN'S WISDOM TEACHETH, BUT WHICH THE HOLY GHOST TEACHETH." I Cor. 2:15. The true revelation is God interpreting His own Word by vindicating what is promised.
*... WE HAVE THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD TODAY
AND NO MAN DARES TAKE FROM IT OR ADD TO IT. BUT WE NEED THE SAME SPIRIT THAT
GAVE IT, TO TEACH IT TO US.
33-4
THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST
- CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1
Now don't let anyone be misled by what I have said and think that I do not believe in the accuracy of the Word as we now have it. I believe this Bible is accurate. Jesus completely authenticated the Old Testament when here on earth and it was compiled exactly as was our New Testament. Make no mistake about it, we have the infallible Word of God today and no man dares take from it or add to it. But we need the same Spirit that gave it, to teach it to us.
34-1
THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST
- CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1
Oh, how we need revelation by the
Spirit. We don't need a new Bible, we don't need a new translation, though some
are very good, and I am not against them, BUT WE
NEED THE REVELATION OF THE SPIRIT. And thank God, we can have what we need, for
God wants to reveal His Word to us by His Spirit.
