MghtyMan Who CannotSaue


His face from you, that lie will not not
hear"
What would you think II nut my
book up between your face and my
race and then | complained that /
| couldn't see.
Repent First.
| Don't pray for blessings when
| there is a sin between you and God
| There are lots OF people who pray
God to bless them whom they
won't get the sin out OF their lives.
| You might Just as well ask God 70
| appease your thirst when you won't
/ drink any water. Don't ask God to
/ bless you as long as you know you
| have sin In your life. Get rid OF
| that, then God will be delighted TO
bless you. AS long as you have sin
/ IN your life, the only thing God will
| Near is this prayer God, he merci-
fui TO me a sinner" The trouble is
| with you. and you are inclined to
| blame God all the time. IL Ia the
| same old gag that Adam tried TO
work when he blamed Eve. lie dld
not need to eat the apple. II he did
| not want to. II he was chump
enough to do II. then he need not
| TO have blamed her.
In Malachi 3:10, read these
| words. Bring ye an the tithes into
| meat in mine house, and proye me
] now herewith. said the Lord OF
/ Hosts. II I win not open for you the
! windows OF heaven. and pour you
/ cut blessing that thnre shall not
| be room enough TO receive It,"
4 man said TO me one time. THAT
was n Jewish promise" Primarily,
| all Of the promises were--lewish
promises. God said to the jew, ~
a -
YOU" and the Jew refused TO do H.
| God turned TO the Gentle. and Of
| fered rs n salvation. We accepted
/ So the Same blessing that God
promised to the Jew, He will give
US. II you will do, what He wanted
YOU to do. And the same curse that
fell on the Jew viii fall on us II we
don't do It.
So. primarily, It was a Jewish
don't want H." and the GentiIos
said. eve win take it"--and God
| said, "Ali right, I will bless YOU. y
| And so Cod is speaking through
Gentle lips today to Jewish world
irving a. the Jews to accept Christ
whom they repudiated.
Gods Power Continues.
What God has done God can 90
| again. God can come back. God -
not limited In tho manifest ations or
| his power to any ono irdlvidual or
ration or period in the worlds his
tory, but any one that does what
I God tells him. He will bless.
SO, II is great insniration 70 me
| % know what God has dono. There
I are several hooks that always love
70 read First NJ all. the Pible.
| Then, the biography and autobios-
-aphy Of Charles G. Firney, whom
T regard as one OF the greatest
rreachcrs that ever lived. love to
Cartwright, the old Methodist
preacher in Tlirois in the days Of
| Abe Lincoln. love to read the BIZ
,graphv and autobiography Of John
=. Patton. the missionary 10 the
New Hebrldes. and read or what
| Cod did through that man among
'he carnihals.
You know, thc New Hehridea are
on n coral foundation. There are no
| snrings through the island. The
water IL salt, and the way they get
| their drinking water Is to put OUT
huge leaves of plants TO catch tho
| dew. The dow there through the
| nights Is as heavy as our common
| -ain. and they fill their vessels from
the water caught bv the leaves.
Patton was working among the
| cennIbels, and he told them that
| Jehovah could make II rain up
| through the ground. They did nor
believe II. ard night after night
Patton dreamed of n certain piece
| or ground an indenture near some
| trees. and he went 10 search for
| the spot that would correspond 70
| what he dreamed about. He located
| the place, and he was going to show
| them that God could make rain
| come through the ground that they
| could drink.
He started to dig for the well, and
they would not help him. He dug
| down about thirty-thrcc feet and
showed a spade down into the ground
and the water bubbled up. lie stood
| here until the. water bubbled nearly
20 his knees. He was afraid TO stoop
down and drink lest the water
should be salty and brakish, and lest
they might say, "Your God is no
good Patton finally filled his
| hands and lifted the water to his
/ lips and drank It, and 1t was clear
! and cold and fresh. II is the only
we'll OF fresh water that has ever
been found on the island, and be-
cause God made water good enough
no drink, over twelve hundred can
! nibals accept Jesus Christ, and the
| New Hebrides are what they are
To-day because God made good water
rain up through the ground. Mar
velOus, when you stop TO think OF 1t,
that one well of water turnd thou
sands TO Jesus, So you can see how
uod works.
Finney was preaching in New
York state The religious conditions
OF western and central New York
today are due TO the blessings Of God
under Charles G., Fnney lie was
preaching in Utica. lie went into a
room In one of the big mills. one
OF the girls, turning, saw Finney
| there, and her COINCIDENCE rebuked
! her for some sin she had COM
mltted. Presently she was weeping,
as she thought OF the life she was
| living contrasted with what she
might live. And then others wept.
| After a while, the owner OF the mill,
| himself not IL Christian. came In, ana
when he saw Finney standing there
and saw the girls weeping, he said I.
| shut down the mill" And he asked
Finney to preach to the people. He
said.
at is more important that these
people should be saved from sin than
that this mill should run"
Finney preached and hundreds OF
them swept into the kingdom or
/ God. and for fifty years, the m.lls
