''And yet a loving, compassionate Father passing right through it. But sometimes people don't know what love is; you get love and sympathy mixed up. See? '''Love is obedience. God speaks; it's obedience,''' regardless of what sympathy or anything else is. | |||
''No wonder He said, there in the Garden of Gethsemane, His sympathy to leave His friends and everything, but said, "Thy will be done." That's right. That's love; '''that's real love is obedience.'''<ref>THE.RESURRECTION.OF.JAIRUS.DAUGHTER_ LOUISVILLE.KY WEDNESDAY_ 54-0331</ref> | |||

''Now, '''when the Father finds a child that's obedient.''' How he likes to come and say, "Sir, your boy is a perfect child, how obedient your children are, how they love to worship You. They gather together, and they raise their hands, and the tears runs down their cheeks. They're just so full of joy." How the Holy Spirit might--must love to do that, for God is an object of worship, and God wants to be worshipped in Spirit and in truth. Jesus said so. But we get so starchy we just can't make a grunt. We couldn't say, "Amen." We--we just set there. See? '''How the Holy Spirit must dread to say that to the Father.''' But when we are obedient, and love Him, and praise Him, and give Him glory, how the Holy Spirit must love to bring this to Him. You know He'd say? "Father, you know, Your son's just like You. Oh, it's just perfect." And if we'd say it here in our street expression "just a chip off of the block." '''"Why, He loves You; he's obedient."'''<ref>HEAR.YE.HIM_ EDMONTON.ALBERTA WEDNESDAY_ 57-0807</ref> | |||
''Now, in the Bible, '''we always try at our church to follow the rules and regulations of the Scripture''', just as close as we can.<ref>A.MISSIONARY.TALK_ MIDDLETOWN.OH SUNDAY_ 58-0330A</ref> | |||
And on that great morning, over there, when the table's set across the canopies of the skies, when all life is over, and we set down at that wedding supper, I want to be there so bad, brethren. Oh, I want to be there. I--I believe I will. '''If I live right and try hard''', God will let me come there, not by what I do, but by His grace, I'll reach across the table and shake hands with some of you all, and say, "I remember you, you was at Yakima. (See?) on earth. No doubt a little tear will run down our cheeks for joy.<ref>SHOW.US.THE.FATHER.AND.IT.WILL.SATISFY.US_ YAKIMA.WA SUNDAY_ 60-0731</ref> | |||
''Listen, friends, this is '''the only way for you to please God, is to obey Him.''' <ref>AS.THE.EAGLE.STIRRETH.UP.HER.NEST_ YAKIMA.WA THURSDAY_ 60-0804</ref> | |||
For '''to please God''', we must believe His Word and '''keep His Word'''. And then, Father, so is it today, that every son or--of God, every daughter of God, '''in order to please God, must keep God's Word.'''<ref>THE.TRUE.EASTER.SEAL_ JEFF.IN V-14 N-3 SUNDAY_ 61-0402</ref> | |||
'''''I can only speak the Word. It's up to you to decide. But remember, this same message will judge you.''' It's on magnetic tape in heaven, and it'll be played over again at the day of the judgment.<ref>CONFERENCES_ BLOOMINGTON.IL 61-0410</ref> | '''''I can only speak the Word. It's up to you to decide.

And I'm by His grace, we're going to try this next year, if He shall spare me, spare you, by His grace I hope I am a better pastor next year than I have been this year, hope I be a better servant to Christ. '''I'll try hard to try to live closer''', more truer to bring the Message just as He gives me; I shall bring It to you the best that I can, withhold nothing that He would want me to give you. '''I'll do all that I know how.''' And I know you feel the same way. You--you feel like that we all want to work together now, for the evening Lights are certainly getting dim, and the sun's far setting.<ref>THE.CONTEST_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-7 MONDAY_ 62-1231</ref> | |||
''If your child is sitting out on the street; you say, "Well, there sits Junior. He oughtn't to do that, but I don't want to hurt his little feelings." You don't love him. He'll get killed there. If you love him, you'll bring him in and give him a spanking. You'll make him obey. That's the way God does. '''Love is corrective, and that's genuine love.'''<ref>POSSESSING.THE.GATE.OF.THE.ENEMY.AFTER.TRIAL_ DENHAM.SP.LA SUNDAY_ 64-0322</ref> | |||
