So Say I, In The Name OfJesus ChristNow therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you,for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of yourfathers giveth you. That types our Millennium.Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish ought ofit, Don't add one thing to It, and don't take one thing away from It. Stay, justsay what It says! that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which Icommand you.Your eyes have seen what the LORD did to Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God has destroyed them from among you. Now you're a separatedpeople, out of them denominations. Uh-huh. See?But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God, ye are alive every one of you this day. Yenever died with your denomination. You're alive now, and in the Presence ofGod.Close, don't miss it. 25th verse, now, when they're going into the land, nowwatch what happened.And when thou shall beget children, and children's children, and you have remained longin the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, that's what happened, and make gravenimages, something else, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of theLORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: Listen!I call heavens and earth to witness against you this day, see, that you shall soon utterlyperish from off the land, or the place, where you go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall notprolong your days upon it, but ye shall utterly be destroyed.This was Moses speaking to Israel, after he had been a vindicated by God, by aPillar of Fire, and knowed he was proven to be God's servant to lead them out. Andbefore they went into the land, before they entered, Moses said, "Now, the wordsthat I have spoken to you, I call heaven and earth to witness against you. If you addone thing to It, or take one Word from It, you'll not stay in the land where the LordGod gives you."So say I, in the Name of Jesus Christ! Don't you add one thing. Don't take, put yourown ideas in It. You just say what is said on those tapes. You just do exactly what theLord God has commanded to do. Don't add to It.65-0718M Trying To Do God A Service Without Being The Will Of God
