ANGEL AND THREE PULLS PHOENIX AZ 51-0414

E-19 019 And all that live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. The devil's always been after the church of the living God. Is that right? And it's always had a black name. Jesus was born in this world with a black name, as illegitimate child. Did you know that? Supposed to be born a--a child out of holy wedlock, Jesus had that hanging on Him. But in His heart He knew He was the Son of God. That's right.

And men and women, you know where you stand tonight. And there's only one more Person knows it; that's God knows where you stand. So your heart right with God. Really live for Him. Be true to Him. Love Him so much that He--everything else becomes secondarily. And then you'll love the Lord with all your heart, with all your strength, with all your soul, with all your might. God will lead you then. "The footsteps of a righteous man is ordered by the Lord

HEAR YE HIM INDIANAPOLIS IN 56-0611

E-10 010 Jesus our Lord, as He walked here on earth, He did not just go about from place to place with great entertainments, and the applause of men, and the applauding of the audiences, and the great flowery things that the men of this world, or the teachers, would praise Him by. But every footstep that He made was ordered by the Lord. Oh, I just love that, when He said even at twelve years old, "Know ye not that I must be about My Father's business?" How that brings us then to shame when we're so all the time gadding around. And the Bible said, "That the footsteps of the righteous is ordered of the Lord." We should walk in His ordination for us. Walk like a Christian; talk like a Christian; live like a Christian.

HEAR YE HIM EDMONTON ALBERTA 57-0807

E-3 003 And I wish to take tonight for a text, them last three words: "Hear Ye Him." We find as we read this marvelous Word of God, we find that where our Lord Jesus was always about the Father's business. Every step that He made had a meaning. There was not one act that He did but what was ordained of God. And it does us so good to think that the Bible said, "The footsteps of a righteous is ordered of the Lord." And if we'll just do what's in our heart...

David was once setting before Nathan the prophet, and he said, "Is it right that I'd live in a house of cedar and the ark of my God under a tent?"

And Nathanael said to him, "Do all that's in thine heart for God is with thee." And we find in our most unusual Scripture reading tonight, a very outstanding instant.

HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM CHICAGO IL 58-0112A

E-8 008 And then again we wonder in the Scriptures, when it's written, "All things work together for good to them that love God." And many times when maybe the lash of His correction is laying upon us, we wonder how that it could be working for the good. But after it's all over, then we look back and we praise Him for it because He knows; we do not. We just act obedient to His Word and to His chastising. He never did chastise us unless we had need of it. And sometimes we might think that we wasn't guilty, but He knows... Maybe we are not, but He knows just how to do it to make it all work good. And what a--a beautiful thing it is just to lay your life in His hands and say, "Here am I, Lord. Just use me now; lead me, and guide me, and direct me in the way that would be pleasing unto Thee." And then don't murmur. No matter what the path is, stay with it anyhow, and God will work it all right. "The footsteps of the righteous is ordered by the Lord." And that Scripture is true

E-65 065 But we have to watch. God leads His children, and the footsteps of the righteous is ordered of the Lord. They are led by the Holy Spirit. Sometimes you think you're making a mistake, but if the Spirit is leading you, go do it anyhow. The Holy Spirit tells some of you people in wheelchairs, "Get up and start walking," walk anyhow.

"How am I going to it?"

That's not your business. Just listen what the Spirit says. Tells you to come at the altar, repent; do it. "My neighbor, my pastor..." I don't care what he says. What the Holy Spirit says, go do it. "Sons of Gods are led by the Spirit of God."

Now, many times I've went to cities. I thought I made a mistake, but I just kept on battling on. After while, it wasn't a mistake.

E-35 035 Now, Jesus was speaking here of some of the people in the days that God had showed signs. One He spoke of was Jonah, and Jonah was sent down to Nineveh. And I always felt sorry for Jonah, because many people, I think, misunderstood Jonah. Now, they said Jonah was backslidden, and he was this, that, and the other, and I've said the same. But let's just study Jonah for a minute.

I don't believe that he was backslid, because he was God's prophet. And he seemed to be walking out of the will of God, but the little story I want to tell you in a moment, I believe you'll see that God made it all work out just right.

You know the footsteps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord. That gives us ministers a time--a chance sometimes to kind of catch our breath when we think we made a wrong move. But sometimes God's just moving with us. We think it's wrong, but maybe it's God moving.

E-29 029 "As Jonah was in the belly of the whale, the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth." Many people today think He's still there; but He's not dead. He's risen from the dead and's here with us now, appearing among us, proving Himself, up and down the coast, around the world everywhere, that He lives. And the wicked and an adulterous generation sees a sign that Jesus Christ is alive and not dead. A wicked and an adulterous generation will seek after a sign, and they'll get it: the sign of the resurrection. Let it soak real deep now. Study hard.

While you're letting that soak I want to ask something about Jonah. Jonah was a prophet. Many people condemn Jonah and say, "Well, he was a old backslider. He..." He wasn't backslid. A man of God... "The steps--the footsteps of the righteous is ordered of the Lord." Do you believe that? And I don't care what the man of God does, if he's ordained of God. He might do things that he thinks is crazy to himself; but if you only watch, it works right out exactly right, if he just goes the way he's led.

E-57 057 Now, Moses, Moses was God's servant. Now, Jesus speaking here, He said, "The men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment because they repented at the preaching of Jonah." Jonah was a prophet.

Now, a lot of people just talk bad about poor old Jonah, and they said he was a--a backslider. I don't think so. I think the Bible says that the footsteps of the righteous is ordered of the Lord. Now, we do things that don't... We don't understand why we do it, but we just keep still. As long as you're led of the Spirit, go do it anyhow. It may be contrary to our thinking, but when the Holy Spirit said, "Go," we go.
