The Message of the Minister

87

meekness and humility; we do not know His forgiveness; we do
not know those qualities of God, except that we have seen them
and do see them in Jesus Christ, and when we take Jesus Christ
out, there is not much left of God. God in order to let us see Him
as he is had to show Himself in the form of Jesus Christ and we
can look at Jesus Christ and know what God is like. We can see
Jesus forgiving the sinner. We can see Jesus humbling himself
before his persecutors and we know the spirit of God is in him.
We can see the meekness of Jesus. We can see how Jesus loved
mankind in whatever walk of life. Therefore, we see how God
loves all mankind.
GOD IS REVENGEFUL
The Lord spoke to Manasseh and the people and he tried to
warn them of doing those things which created evil in the heart
of God. But they would not heed God. We have so many folks
today to whom God is speaking, trying to get them to repent, to
listen, but they are stubborn. The Christian world is not in
harmony with God and God is pleading for them to come back
to Him, but the folks won't hear God. So God causes calamity
to come unto them.
You are too busy with things of the world to stop and confer
with God. You are compassed about with things of the world
and saying that it is impossible for you to find time to work for
God. God will lay such persons on the bed of affliction-too busy
to serve Him.
A GOD OF DETERMINATION, CRUELTY AND ARBITRARINESS
The elect are God's children chosen before the world was. God
foresaw that they would accept Jesus Christ by grace-God had
his attitude toward Jacob and Esau before either was born as He
knew what they would be.
TRUSTING GOD A PANACEA FOR ALL ILLS
If you know how to stay in touch with God, you can win any
battle. David stayed in touch with God and he won his battle.
I think sometimes we can be wonderful if we know how to stay
in touch with God on our knees. I fear prayer has no charm
