| THE BRIDE IS TRIED AND TESTED E-45 TIME.TESTED.MEMORIALS.OF.GOD JEFF.IN 57-0818 If he went to that much trouble to be sure that the bridge would be safe, how much trouble do you think God went to, to be sure this church would be safe? Yes, sir. There's a memorial to the death of Christ; that's His church. Some people don't want to live it; some people will. But it's a testing time; God's testing people today for His memorials. A lot of times people say, "Oh, I'm so tempted." Blessed be the Name of the Lord for the temptations. "When I am weak, then I'm strong," said Paul. "Every son that cometh to God must first be tried and tested." And these testings are more sweeter to you and dearer to you than precious gold. It's testing time. 112-168 HEBREWS.CHAPTER.3 JEFF.IN HEB 57-0901M God's little faithful group is moving right along, with signs and wonders. He's putting them to the test. Every son that cometh to God must first be tried and tested; child trained. First little thing happened, "Oh, well, maybe there's nothing to It anyhow." You're a illegitimate child, and not a child of God. For a child of God is the Seed of Abraham, who calls those things that were not, as though they were, "God said so!"--and just keeps moving on. Amen. No matter what says, or anything different, they keep moving on anyhow, "God said so!" E-99 HAVE.NOT.I.SENT.THEE PHOENIX.AZ 62-0124 Quickly, Martha. Oh, my. Poor little thing was heartbroken. She'd left her big church, her and Mary. They had harbored Jesus, made Him a little place in Bethany. After He... He was had no place to stay. They'd give Him a home there with them, with her, Martha, and Mary, and Lazarus. And they thought that He surely was the Messiah, and all this. And the brother got sick. See how God lets things happen? Just tear you all to pieces to test you. Every child that comes to God must be tried and tested. "Think it not strange, beloved, when fiery trials comes." It's all done to prove your faith. See? 2 BE.CERTAIN.OF.GOD JEFF.IN V-5 N-12 59-0125 And now, Lord, bless Thy Word as It goes forth, and may the Holy Spirit capture our minds and our thoughts and prepare us for His visitation, as we have asked Him to come. For we do not come to the house of the Lord to be seen or to see, but to learn of Thee, and to know of Thy nature, and Thy way, and Thy causes, that we might be able to face the problems of life with a real assurance, being certain of God. Grant it, Lord. In Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen. MATTHEW.13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; MATTHEW.13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. MATTHEW.13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. MATTHEW.13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. |
