The book of Numbers, Numbers
chapter one. Numbers chapter one is 54 verses
long, and it is filled with the word of God. Every chapter of
Numbers is filled with the word of God. And this book opens with
these words, and the Lord Jehovah. and the Lord spake unto Moses
in the wilderness of Sinai in the tabernacle of the congregation
on the first day of the second month in the second year after
they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, I would like to look at the fourth
word in that verse today. The Lord spake. To me, it is
such a gracious act of an almighty God to speak to a man. When we read about the glory
of God in the heavens, and we read of the activities and the
work of this great God, that he would come and speak to a
man, I must stop and take note of that because it is an act
of grace and grace alone that he would stop and speak to a
man and in fact leave us this book of numbers. Now all that
it was the grace of God that he would give us the book of
Genesis through the books of revelation. It was by the grace
of God and the grace of God alone that he would speak to us through
his word, the Bible as we have it. This activity of God to speak. Now there is a record found in
the book of Genesis. Would you back up with me to
the first chapter of the book of Genesis that God And eternity
is a word I've yet to gather. Yet in eternity, we have no record
of God speaking until this moment in creation, that God would speak. Whether there was a conversation
in the making of the covenant of grace, it doesn't share with
me here at this point. But it does share with me here
in the book of Genesis in chapter 1 and verse 3, and this is God
said, let there be light and there was light. Now, I wanted
to go on record. I want to say this clearly and
to go on record. When God speaks, it is effectual. When God speaks, it is effective. When God speaks, it upsheds what
he intended for his word to accomplish, and none of it goes off on this
side of the road or on that side of the road as if it went unheard. God spake to Moses, and the words
that he spake to Moses were effectual, effective, and accomplished exactly
what he intended to accomplish by giving us that glorious gospel
according to the book of Numbers. Here it said, God said, let there
be light. Now, sometimes I'm in here alone
with one of my grandchildren and they go take care of the
light for me. They turn it off on me. They
know where the lights are. I have to say, please turn on
the light. I hope it's effectual and effective
and is accomplishing my purpose. But when we read of this great
God, that in the great three in one, in eternity past, there
in silence, without the need to converse or share anything,
we have this one, this great God, come out of eternity, and
it says, and in the beginning God created the heavens and the
earth, and then we hear him speak, and he speaks the light into
existence, and there was nothing there, Except his effectual and
it accomplished something because God said let there be light and
there was light In the first chapter in verse 24 We read these
words and God said let the earth bring forth the living creature
after his kind cattle and creeping thing beasts of the earth after
his kind And it was so. We again hear the voice of Almighty
God and in His infinite wisdom and His infinite nature and infinite
power, He created all the beasts of the field. and all of the
foul of the air, and all of the creatures in the sea, and all
the creeping things. He spoke it into existence by
the word of his power, and it was accomplished instantaneously. If we had been there, we'd say,
whoa. Because God can speak and it
is accomplished, and nothing resists his almighty power. The same word that he speaks
to Moses is the word that he uses in the creation of the heavens
and the earth and all of the creatures that there are. Turn
with me, if you would, to the book of Genesis chapter 1 and
verse 26. And it says, God said, let us
make man in our image after our light, and let them be over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth. God made man. What an outstanding statement
is made here after he has created all the earth and separated the
waters and raised the hills and the mountains out of the waters,
the dry land, and all of that creation. He said, let us make
man and though they in their triunity created man after their
likeness and it tells us that they took the dust of the ground
and made a man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life
and man became a living soul. That is the accomplishment of
God. He is able to do all that he
said he will do and it is fashioned just exactly like he said it
would happen. There was no mistake that there
are great hippopotamuses and giraffes and all the oxen and
all of the creatures of the world because God created them just
as he determined to create them before he created them. And they
accomplished exactly as he determined that it would happen. God said
in chapter 2 and verse 18, chapter 2 and verse 18, He said, it is
not good that man should be alone. I will make him a helpmate for
him. God, in his infinite wisdom and
his graciousness to the human race, created a wife for the
first man and brought them together. They are our first father and
they are our first mother and every one of us are related in
him. It goes on to tell us here in
chapter 2 and verse 16, these words of Almighty God. And in
this passage of scripture, it tells us the Lord God commanded
something. In the rest of it, he said, and
it was accomplished. It doesn't mean any different
to God whether he uses the word said or speak or command. But from our standpoint, There
is an utterance of difference here that God would command something. In Genesis chapter 2, and there
in verse 16, the word of God says, and the Lord God commanded
the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely
eat. But of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day
that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt Now, religion has us believing
it was an apple. There were a hundred apple trees
in that garden before. We don't have any idea what was
on that tree. There were plums, cherries, apples,
lemons, grapefruits, all of the fruits that we know of today
was there in that garden. And God said, I am restricting
you from one. In fact, I command you not to
eat of it. Well, we know that the man and
the only man that ever walked the face of this earth with a
free will freely chose in himself to disobey the God that commanded
him not to do that. Now there's only one reason that
that man could go against the command of God, because this
God that could say, let there be light, and there was light.
And this God that says, let there be drafts. And there was drafts.
And let there be earth come up out of the water. And let there
be great sun to rule the day and a moon to rule the night.
This same God, if he had put it in that precise condition,
that man would have never have done that. But he permitted that
man to go against his will on purpose because he already had
a Savior prepared to take care of the cutoff guard, God did
not have to go to plan B. But we find that this Lord, this
God, has spoken many times in Scripture before we get to Numbers
chapter 1 and verse 1. But in that verse of Scripture,
there is a word that is used that carries with it the thought
or the idea or the definition to speak properly, to speak words in order, to declare,
to converse, to command, to promise, to warn. With Jehovah, as with
God, the word spoken is with all authority. When we read about
God speaking, he speaks properly, and he speaks words in order,
and he declares, but these words are spoken with authority because
God is doing the speaking. He speaks from the standpoint
of knowledge with such eloquence. We read God's eloquence. We read
about eloquence when we read about God. God always uses the
correct word. God always speaks without regret, never saying something wrong
or incorrect or out of order. God never wished with His lips. He never has to. Because He is
God. God has never stooped to a lie. He has always declared the absolute
truth. The scriptures tell us, turn
with me to the book of Titus if you would. The book of Titus
over there in the New Testament. The book of Titus chapter one
and verse two brings out so much for the people of God in his
working in them. And yet it tells us here something
wonderful about our God. When he speaks, we don't have
to decipher whether it's the truth or not. I had a dear, dear
friend. He attended here for quite a
number of years. The Lord has taken him home.
But he used to say, I always say the truth. It's up to you
to sort it out. Now he said that in jest. But we don't have to sort it
out with God. We don't have to sort out the
truth. It just lays there flat before us. We sometimes are trapped
of saying, I'm not gonna read this passage of scripture because
I don't like it. But God always speaks the truth.
This last week I had a young man very angry with me. And it wasn't because I was being
offensive, it was because the offense of the cross. God's word
is just so clear. and I remember being angry with
the postman. Have you ever been angry because
a bill was delivered and you got angry at the postman for
it? Why did he deliver this bill
to me? Well, someone farther up the food chain said this bill
is due and payable to us. I was angry at the postman and
in reality I was angry with God. because he would not accept my
righteousness, my good works. In the book of Titus chapter
1 verse 2 it says, in the hope of eternal life which God that
cannot lie promised before the world began. I like that. That interjection in there about
God's truth and the truth of God and the truth of God's word.
And God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. He promised
eternal life before the world began. He did not promise to
all, but he promised to some eternal life. Those who are on
the left hand at that great day, he didn't promise them anything.
When it comes to positive spiritual blessings, he promised it to
those on the right hand side, to those he would go to the cross
for. Turn with me if you would. I
hope you held your fingers in the book of Numbers because we're
going back there for just a moment. Numbers chapter 23. Numbers chapter
23 has much to say about the word of God. The Lord spake unto
Moses. This honorable word, this straightforward
word, this word without having to catch it before it got out
and say, oh man, I wish I hadn't said that. But here in the book
of Numbers chapter 23 and verse 19, the scripture says this,
God is not a man. I'm so thankful, aren't you,
that we read that? I pray that we know that in our
heart. God is not a man. God is far above that. He created
man. Here in the book of Numbers chapter
23 and verse 19, the scripture says, God is not a man that he
should lie. Now that almost leaves it in
the context that it is just our natural inclination to lie. God is not a man that he should
lie. He doesn't practice things after
we do. He doesn't practice things like
we do. He doesn't do things like that.
Honest, straightforward, never telling a lie in all the ways
he's ever dealt with man. He has never told a lie. Men have lied to men and men
have lied to God, but God has never lied to men. God is not
a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should
repent. What's that mean? Change your mind. God never has to change his mind. God tells us that he changes
not, therefore his sons of Jacob are not consumed. In fact, we
read in the book of James that there's no shadow nor variableness
of change with God. There's not even the movement
on a shadow line. God is so gracious. He goes on
to say, He should not, that he should repent, hath he said,
and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall
it not make it good? What a wonderful thought we read
about God, that he does not tell us a lie. He always tells us
the truth. And sometimes God speaks with
a single word. In the book of the Proverbs,
it says, a word fitly spoken. is like apples of gold and one
of the translations puts that golden apples in a silver basket.
What could be wrong with that? A word fitly spoken and how often
we find that God speaks a word fitly spoken. It is direct and
to the point, it is correct, it has no derivation, it is not
a There's no room for interpretation. It is just honest, straightforward
word, and we can always trust our God to speak the truth. Sometimes
he speaks entire sermons. The Sermon on the Mount, three
chapters of scripture, and all of it is so good for the church,
and a blessing to be read, and a blessing to hear. You remember
what he said, or what was said? by the two on the road to Emmaus
after the Lord had spoken to them, and this is just the way
God leaves us sometimes, did not our hearts burn within us
when he spake to us? Did not our hearts burn with
us? Now, at the moment he spoke,
they couldn't comprehend it. They didn't understand it. They
couldn't get their hands around it. They couldn't remember the
word of the Lord. He left them with the knowledge of who He
was, and they went back and said, all of that now makes sense.
All of that now, it just shows us what we were, and what we
are, and what God has made us in the great salvation that He
gives His people. Now when we read this word that's
found in Numbers chapter 1 and verse 1, where it says the Lord
spake, First time in the Bible that particular word is used.
It is used with authority, it is used with straightforwardness,
it is used in counsel, and that's found in the book of Genesis
chapter 8 and verse 15. Genesis chapter 8 and verse,
excuse me, chapter 8. First time it's used in Genesis
chapter 8 and verse 15 after Noah is lodged up there in the
mountain. He says in Genesis chapter 8
and verse 15, it says here, and God spake unto Noah saying, go
forth of the ark, thou and thy wife and thy sons and thy sons'
wives with thee. God spake unto Noah. And it has
that idea of in order, accomplishment, all is provided, all is taken
care of, all is done. And there it is. He spoke in
verse 17 of the book of Genesis. He spoke to Abraham there in
verse 3 and calls him Abram. Before the conversation is over,
he calls him Abraham. I'll make a covenant with you. God always speaks with power
and with authority. His written word, His word is
power and authority. You know, we find in the book
of Hebrews it said that the word of God is quick and powerful. This is the nature of God doing
his business. The power whereof is such that
it enters even into the deepest and most inward and secret parts
of the heart. Now he's not talking about that
pumping organ in there. He's talking about us in our
very most centered part. where we have all the stockades
built up and all of the ramparts built up and all of the protection
built up and we don't want anybody looking in there and yet it tells
us the word of God can get there. It's quick and powerful and sharper
than the sharpest sword ever made. It can go to where no one
else can go. and the business of that can
say let there be light and there is light. That's the business
of this God that says let me make animals and they were created
and let us make man after our image and it was done. This is
the word that goes and pierces even to the dividing asunder
of bone and moral. This is a powerful word. To most
people, to many people, to me, when I first heard it, it had
no impact except it made me angry. I'll get over that. I'll set that aside. I heard
a preacher not long ago say that he went to church just so he
could figure out what the guy was preaching, so he could find
fault with it and tell him about it. The activity of the Holy
Spirit is much more powerful than that. The man was drawn
to hear the gospel and the Lord worked a work of grace. The Lord, during his personal
ministry, had many words to share. And I'm here to say that that
Jehovah that spoke to Moses in the first chapter and first verse
of the book of Numbers, is the Lord that spoke in the book of
Mark, Luke, and John to various people. And we heard about that
one speaking to a man who was born blind this morning in the
Bible class. Would you turn with me as we
listen to several passages of scripture where this one, this
one that spoke, listen to this one that spoke in these verses
of scripture. He's the one that can cause the
soul to be shaken from end to end. He's the one that can tip
our world upside down. He's the one that can bring us
from a place that we don't want to leave to a place that we never
expected to get to. This is the Lord's power to do
this, and he does it with such succinctness and authority that
he always accomplishes his eternal purpose in what he does. He never
has spoken a word. that was wasted, and he's never
spoken a word that he didn't need to. Remember the song, Silence is
Golden? My brother used to add, shut
up, Norm, and make a million. The silence of the time speaks
volumes, and the words of the Lord speak one word. Join me
if you would in the book of John as we think about Jehovah speaking
to Moses, the Lord spake. When we get over here in the
book of John chapter three, there are words that the Lord speaks
that Nicodemus went around and said, I don't understand a word
he's saying. How can this be? In John chapter
three in verse three, The same God that spoke to Moses and gave
us the book of Numbers. The Lord spake, Jehovah spake
unto Moses in the wilderness. Out in that desert place, just
like he speaks to his people today in the wilderness. He speaks
to his people in the place that they grew up. And this place
compared to glory is a wilderness. Here in the book of John chapter
3 and verse 3, the Lord speaks to a man by the name of Nicodemus
who was a very well-educated man in religion. It tells us
here in verse 3, Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily,
I say unto thee, That word say is the word sayeth over there
in the book of Numbers. The same Lord about spiritual
things, and he says, verily, verily, I say unto thee. Now
he is not one to lie, and he's not one to stretch the truth,
and he's not one to waste words, and he's not one to leave words
out, and he leaves nothing between the lines. How many times have
you, I wonder what they're telling me between the lines. The Lord
never speaks between the lines. He's never out there trying to
fool us. Now, to understand the word of
God a little bit, we must be spiritually awakened. Because the word is spirit and
they that understand it can only do it from a spiritual mind.
Here in the book of John chapter three, it tells us there in verse
three, verily, verily, truly, truly, or it could be translated
amen and amen. So be it. This is the way it
is. I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see
the kingdom of God. You know what? That's just the
way it is. And there are, From a man's standpoint,
from our natural standpoint, did you know that there's a million,
what's there, three billion people in the world right now, four
billion, five, six, seven billion. Okay, seven billion people in
the world. Do you know what? There's seven billion answers
to how people are born again. Everybody by nature has their
own idea. You know what the Lord says about
it? We must be born from above. It is not by our confession,
it's not by our doing, it's not by going forward, it's not by
confession, anything. It is an activity of the spirit. that God gives us upon preaching
of the gospel to all those that he went to the cross to die for.
It's an act of God. Just like he created light and
there was light, just like he created the beast of the field
and there were beasts of the field, just like he created a
man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, this is an
activity of Almighty God so separate from our ability that he said,
it's the new birth. It comes from God. Now, Nicodemus
answered, as best he could, how can this be? Must a man enter
into his womb, the mother's womb, the second time and be born?
You know, we'll think about that for a moment. That's an impossibility. Yes, it is. It's a human impossibility
to be born again, but it is God's great business to do it. You
must be born again. If I say unto thee, except a
man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. And that's
the same God that said, let there be light, and there was light.
The same God that stood out on the sea and calmed it. The same
God that called those disciples and they followed him. This word
is effectual. This word is powerful. This word
accomplishes exactly what God intends for it to accomplish.
It is not wasted words. It is not words that have no
meaning. It is words that God enacts in
his people. Turn with me to, if you would,
to the book of John chapter six. John chapter six, and again,
the Lord, the one that spoke to Moses there in the book of
Numbers chapter one, the one that gave the entire book of
Numbers to Moses, and the words, the gospel that is incorporated
in those passages of scripture, here in the book of John chapter
six, and there in verse 35, the Lord says this about himself,
I am. Notice, Jesus said unto them,
this is the one that said, let there be light, and there was
light. This is the one that calms the sea. This is the one that
does all his work. This is the one that says, not
one word of mine shall come back void, but it shall accomplish
that whereunto I have sent it. This is the God that can create
life. This is the God that can create
the heavens and the earth. This is the God that can make
a tree bring forth after its kind. That's the sad thing about
our natural inclination to give ourselves a new birth. We're
just going to produce more of our own and we're dead in trespasses
and sin. John Chapter 6, there in verse
35, the scripture says this, I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall never
hunger. He that believeth on me shall
never thirst. In that great sermon on the mount,
blessed is he that hungers and thirsts after righteousness. And our righteousness is qualified
by the truth of God's word and saying it's not worth anything.
But his righteousness is the riches of glory. He that I am the bread of life,
he that eats of me shall never hunger. That's one of the blessings
about God's salvation is God's people don't go to another place
trying to find hope. They're settled on this. He is
my bread of life, and he is my life, and there is no bread anywhere
else. I cannot go anywhere else but
to him. This is him. I must go to him.
John chapter seven, verse 37. Jesus is at a great feast day. And can you imagine someone standing
up at a great feast day of the Jews and saying this? John chapter
7 and verse 37. We can say it if we know who's
doing the speaking. To a bunch of people, he was
an intruder. That lesson this morning, he's
just an intruder. He just bothered those people.
It would have been better for that man to be left blind than
for this one to come in and heal him, giving his sight back, and
then for the man to go through the consequences and the parents
to go through the consequences. They would have rather had it
the old way. Well, that's just the normal
thing. We'd rather have it the old way until God gives us a
new way, and then we can't go back to the old way. John 7,
verse 37, he stands up here in the last day, that great feast,
Jesus stood and cried saying, ''If any man thirst, let him
come unto me and drink.'' Can you just imagine the crowds that
around says, ''What in the world is he talking about?'' And there's
someone there, like a maniac of Gadara. Someone there, like
the woman there, just like down there in South Oregon that heard
the gospel, was the only seed that made any impression. Someone
there heard that. And the rest went away and says,
why did he interrupt the services? I am the water of life. If any man thirsts, let him come
unto me and drink." John chapter 8. John chapter 8, as we read
over there in the book of Genesis, Let there be light. Notice here
in John chapter 8 and verse 12, the Lord says this, with the
same gusto, same power, same authority that he created the
light in the beginning. He said here in John chapter
8 and verse 12, then spake Jesus again to them saying, I am the
light of the world. He that followeth me shall not
walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. We cannot
tell ourselves how dark the light is until he's given us the light. How dark it is by nature until
he has given us the light of life. And then we say, oh my
goodness, how bright is the light of the word of God. The Lord
speaks in chapter 8 verse 58. He confounds a bunch of people.
They know how. You know what? They kept records
on this man. There was a whole bunch of people
they had no records on, but this man had records, because they
said, we know his parents, we know his brothers and his sisters.
He's from Nazareth, and he is the carpenter's son. And he stands
up in the middle one day in John chapter 8, verse 58, and he says
this, barely, barely I said to you before Abraham was, I am. Talk about confounding a bunch
of people. This guy's only 30 years old.
What's he talking about? He's talking the truth. I am
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I'm the God of the living
and not the God of the dead. He spoke the truth. And those
who know the truth know what he was speaking about. This is
the eternal Son of God. This is the Christ of God. This
is, as Peter confessed, thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God. You have been before eternity, old eternity, and you'll
be around for new eternity, all of you. You stretch from end
to end. And before our father Abraham
was ever conceived down there in Ur of the Chaldees, You created
the light. Before we called out of Ur of
the Chaldees, you created the heavens and the earth. You created
all the creatures that we have about us. You created everything.
And now you reveal to us the truth about your very being,
your eternality. Before Abraham was, I'm the ever-present
one, the one that was revealed to Moses at the burning bush.
I am that I am. John chapter 10 verse 17, he
said this about himself. John chapter 10 verse 7, Jesus
said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door
of the sheep. The only entrance into the presence
of the living God is through this one, the Christ of God,
the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no other way. There is only this one way. Jesus Christ and Him crucified
is the only way. He's the only one that gives
the new birth. He's the only one that gives us the bread of
life. He's the only one that gives us the water of life. He's
the only one that gives eternal life. He's the only one. This
is Him that spoke to Moses in the book of Numbers chapter one. In the book of John chapter 10
verse seven, These words are recorded there, we just read
that, I am the door of the sheep, John chapter 11, chapter 11 and
verse 43, one of the most powerful statements about this one, the
Lord Jesus, it was so profound that he would let a man die instead
of healing him. We have him healing people from
a distance. His word is effectual. from a
thousand miles, a million miles, a hundred trillion miles. His
word is effectual. And he chose not to be over there
to a friend of his by the name of Lazarus. And he went over
there. Now listen to what he had to
say right there. John chapter 11, verse 43. And when he had
thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. Lazarus come forth and he that
was dead came forth with such clarity as he even created the
light. Let there be light and there
was light. With the same power that he turned
a mud baby into a human being, he breathed into his nostrils
a breath of life and he became a living soul. This man that
had been laid out dead for four days, This one, this Lord who
can speak with all power and with all authority to it and
raised a man that had been dead. What power? You know what? He's
in the business of doing that spiritually, and he's going about
as the great physician, going wherever his people are, hidden
in whatever circumstances they're hidden in, and he comes up to
the tomb of their life, dead in trespasses and sin, and calls
us out of darkness to his marvelous light, and it's the same power
it took to raise this man from the dead. He's spoken. Matthew
chapter 16 and verse 6, back up just a little bit. And the
Lord says, I want to share something here that you need to be careful
about leaven. And the disciples, you know,
we think of them being ignoramuses. Sometimes, why didn't they figure
this out? Well, we look back at all this and say, you know,
they were living and being taught. And after the resurrection, things
really came up. He brought this up about leaven.
He says, leaven of bread? What's he talking about, leaven
of bread? 11 is what makes bread rise. What are you talking about? Well, he says here in the book
of Matthew chapter 16 verse 6, what he's saying is be careful
that you don't add anything to what I've already said. Don't
add a word to what I said about the new births. Don't add a word
to what I said about myself. I am the bread, the water, that
I am the door. Don't add a word to that because
once you've done that, you've added leaven to my word. Leave
my word alone. Don't try to make it more palatable
for people. Leave it alone. There is an offense
in my word because it goes contrary to your nature. Here in the book
of Matthew chapter 16 and verse six, he said to his disciples,
take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
You know what they did with God's gospel in the Old Testament?
They said, this is absolutely necessary that you have all of
these things done to you in order for you to be God's people. And
the Lord Jesus said, no, those were signs. Those are pictures,
those are types, and those are shadows. And don't you add one
word of leaven to my word. Leave it alone. Don't add one
syllable, one jot or one tittle of additional things to my gospel. These guys, just like us by nature,
are always adding something and will not have that change until
he strips us of our righteousness and imputes his righteousness. And then alone will we be able
to say salvation is In Matthew chapter 15 is the
account of the Lord taking five loaves and two fishes. There
are seven loaves and two fishes here. He gave thanks. He spoke.
And the multiples of baskets full of things, of food that
he brought out of that was a miracle of his grace to all of those
folks. But it was his word. Two more verses and we'll close. Would you turn with me to John
chapter 19? John chapter 19 and there in
verse 30. John chapter 19 and verse 30. He said something else on the
cross. He spoke seven times from the
cross. This is one of those. This is so powerful. It says,
when Jesus, therefore, had received the vinegar, he said, it is finished. And he bowed his head and gave
up the goat. Salvation is complete. The sacrifice
has been made. It is me, the Lamb of God. It
is finished. And once again, don't add anything
to it. It's all taken care of. And finally,
in Matthew chapter 28 and verse 18, just before he leaves and
goes back to the Father, he leaves us this message that's all through
the Old Testament, all through the New Testament. There's never
a time when Jesus is going to have to be made king. Never a
time when he's going to have to be sitting on some throne
here down on this earth. Never a time. He is king. Kings and Lord of lords and he
says this in Matthew chapter 28 in verse 18 He said Jesus
came and spake unto them saying and what comfort it was for Jesus
to use these words with his disciples Just as comfortable as it is
today for us to know all Power is given unto me in heaven and
in earth. I We started in the book of Genesis,
let there be light, and there was light. And here we close,
all power and all authority is given unto me in heaven and in
earth. And the disciples went home and
says, hallelujah. The boss has all power and all
authority. All right, Brother Mike, if you'll
come.
