«  113       †        It is strange to think how that God does such a thing as that. God will hide Himself in something so simple that'll cause the wise to miss it a million miles and then turn right back around in that, some simple thing in the simplicity of His way of working and reveal Hisself right out again.

I thought it made a--a text that we might study this before we go into the--the--the great teachings of the Seven Seals. Many miss Him by the way He reveals Himself. Now, man has their own ideas of what God ought to be and what God is going to do; and as I have made the old statement many times that man still remains man. Man is always giving God praise for what He did do, and always looking forward to what He will do, and ignoring what He's doing. See, see?

They look back and see what a great thing He done, but they fail to see what a simple thing He used to do it with. See? And then they look forward and see a great thing coming that's going to happen, and nine times out of ten, it's already happening right around them, and it's so simple that they don't know it. See?

64-0401  THE.IDENTIFIED.CHRIST.OF.ALL.AGES_  LOUISVILLE.MS  WEDNESDAY_

«  34       †          Listen, today we're always like... Man is always praising God for what He done, always looking forward for what He will do, and ignoring what He's doing. It's always been that same thing. And everybody has got his own private interpretation.

35    God is His Own interpreter. God don't need no one to interpret. The Bible said It's without interpretation. It don't need man. God interprets the Bible, Himself. God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. That settles it. God said, "A virgin shall conceive," and she did. That settled it. When God says anything, and vindicates it, that's His interpretation of it. He said He would "pour out His Spirit" in this last days, and He did it. There is no interpretation to it; it's already interpreted. Unbelievers might rise, and skeptics might stand, and whatever they might do; but God did it, anyhow, because He said He would do it. He doesn't need anybody to interpret Him. He does His Own interpretation. He made the promise, people believe it, and He interprets it to them.

36    He is the Lord that heals all of our diseases. I can't tell you how He does it, but He does it. He said He would do it, that He would do it, so up to our faith. He couldn't do it there without faith, neither can He do it here, or anytime, without faith.

Now, He is the Word. He is the Word identified for that age.
