26-0511P_HIS UNFAILING WORDS OF PROMISE PT-6
E-34 ...And the Word of God will defeat Satan any place, any time, anywhere, and on any condition. That's right. That's what it is; it's God's Word. "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never fail." Believe It.
*GIFTS ARE ADDED TO STIMULATE FAITH. BUT FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, HEARING BY THE WORD.
EXPECTATIONS_ CLEVELAND.OH THURSDAY_ 50-0810
E-35 Gifts are added to stimulate faith. But faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the Word. That's where faith comes, by hearing the Word of salvation. It's just like this. Jesus... But God said, "Come unto Me, all--all the ends of the earth, and drink."
A little tree, when it's planted in the earth, a little apple tree about that big, it's stuck right out in the ground. Every apple that'll ever be on that tree, every blossom, every leaf, every limb that'll ever be on that tree is in it right then. If it isn't, where does it come from? Now, the tree is put in the ground, and the only thing the tree does, is drink. It just drinks and drinks until it swells out, and swells out, until it pushes out limbs, blossoms, apples.
And Christ is the inexhaustible Fountain of Life. We are planted in Him by the Holy Spirit, and then just drink from Him. Every person that's a Christian... The devil don't care how much you come to Christ, as long as you don't drink. You can stand at the table and your mouth watering and say, "Well, I'm here. I'm here." You're afraid to turn your faith loose. See?
* AND IT WAS SETTLED AS SOON AS GOD SPOKE IT.
THE.UNCERTAIN.SOUND_ CHICAGO.IL SATURDAY_ 61-0429E
E-40 In Matthew the 24th chapter and the 35th verse Jesus said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never fail." Just as certain as God says anything, it's just that certain it's going to come to pass.
Before there was a world, before there was four thousand years, before Christ was ever born, the Bible said He was the Lamb of God, slain since the foundation of the world. For when God's program was drawed out, and He knowed what was going to happen, in His great mind He knew that He'd have to slay His own Son to save the world. And it was settled as soon as God spoke it. Amen.
When God says anything, it's just as eternal as He is. It cannot fail, God's Word. Jesus said, "Both heavens and earth will pass away but My Word shall never fail." Oh, certainly It is certain. There's no uncertainty about It.

E-41 It might make you act strange when you receive It; you might not act like you used to. And that's one thing is certain too. Paul said, "The life that I now live..." He must've lived a different kind of life once, and yet he was raised up religious. But he had a new kind of life. "Not me, but Christ liveth in me." See, he had passed from one life into another.
And just as certain as you receive the Word of God into your heart, then you'll have Eternal Life and you'll act strange, look strange, and be different than what you were.
*IT'S THIS SACRED TRUST THAT GOD HAS PUT TO HIS CHURCH. GOD GAVE HIS WORD TO HIS CHURCH.
THE.COMFORTER_ JEFF.IN V-15 N-5 SUNDAY_ 61-1001E
68 Now, we have a sacred trust. You know what a trust is. And we have a inheritance, a heritage that we inherit as believing children. It's a sacred trust. And that sacred trust and our sacred heritage is the Word of God that's been given to us, the full Word of God. The Word Itself is the Vitamin, the Word Itself, God's Word.
THE.COMFORTER_ JEFF.IN V-15 N-5 SUNDAY_ 61-1001E
70 I live by the Word. Jesus said, "It's written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'" And this is It. And That is given to us as a heritage. It's our inheritance, the Word. O God, let us think of It in the deepness of It.
It's--it's our privilege. It's this sacred trust that God has put to His Church. God gave His Word to His Church. And that sacred heritage is ours. It's a gift from God, not to just compromise on this, and cut this out, and throw this out, and add this in to suit our own taste; but to preach the full Word, the whole Gospel. We are duty bound as Christians to take It and believe It. When we know, "If our hearts condemn us not, then we know we have favor with God."
But when we know we're bypassing Something, that some great heritage that belongs to us, that we bypass It, because our church said they don't believe in this today; it isn't for us today. If we bypass That, then we spoil our inheritage.
*"HEAVENS AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY BUT MY WORD SHALL NEVER FAIL."
THE.WORKS.THAT.I.DO.BEAR.WITNESS.OF.ME_ PHOENIX.AZ FRIDAY_ 51-0413
E-11 ...Jesus being the Christ, the Son of God, is the truth. We believe it because the Bible says so. And we accept it by faith, Divine faith that's been placed in our heart by the Holy Spirit. We believe it with all of our heart. And we believe that He is the same Lord Jesus today that He was yesterday, and will be when we see Him coming. "This same Jesus that was taken up will show--so come in like manner as you see Him go into heaven." And we know that He promised to be with us in the form of the Holy Spirit plumb to the end of the world, the end of the age. He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe."
And tonight, we're thankful to be represented here, or gathered here, rather, in a group of people that represents this glorious Gospel of deliverance. After nineteen hundred years criticism, trying to destroy the Bible... Infidels has raised and fallen; many persecutions, more persecutions upon the Book than any other book in the world, but yet it's the greatest seller the world has. "Heavens and earth shall pass away but My Word shall never fail."
*IT'S GRACE THAT BRINGS YOU TO GOD; IT'S THE WORKS THAT--THAT YOU DO FOR GOD.
THE.INFALLIBILITY.OF.GOD'S.SPOKEN.WORD_ CHICAGO.IL WEDNESDAY_ 56-0404
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.
