| 1966-01-28 [exact/certain/final] | What Must We Do Believe | So I know from experience. I could say “we speak what we know,” but I couldn’t then add “and bear witness to what I have seen.” I had not yet experienced salvation…not until ’59. So I started in ’38 and for twenty-one years I went across the country, all the major cities, telling the story that Jonah would tell. You know what you want in life? Assume that you have it.

Because I fell heir to the Promise in its completeness back in 1959 and if you haven’t heard me since, then what I have been teaching since this revelation from within me would be something entirely new as far as you’re concerned…like a new world, a new language. Yet I cannot deny the law, for I came not to destroy the law and the prophets who prophesied of the law and prophesied of the Promise. I came not to deny or in any way to obliterate… | 545347 |
