“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." [Genesis 1:1]

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.” [John 1:1-2]

“He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.” [Matthew 19:8]

“I wish to read this verse, that is the 8th verse, reads like this. And he said unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it wasn’t so. Now, I want to take that last part of the verse for a text: "From The Beginning It Wasn’t so." You know when He came to the earth in His first visitation, He found that the teachers of His day was teaching things that wasn’t so. I wonder if He returned tonight if He wouldn't find about the same, teaching things that wasn’t so. Did you notice He said, "It--it wasn’t so from the beginning."” [From The Beginning It Wasn't So, San Jose CA, 59-1125]

There's no way for anybody to ever have anything from God except by faith. God has made that His way; that was from the beginning for people to believe God by faith. That was given to Adam and Eve to believe God's Word. And when Eve disbelieved God's Word, then it brought death, and sorrow, and sickness to disbelieve God.” [Gifts And Callings Are Without Repentance, Carlsbad NM, 50-0300]

“So, we really believe that God never changes His mind about what He said. He always keeps It true. But He has a permissive will. Now, there, where the trouble lays. We try to work on God's permissive will, and He will permit it. But also if we take His permissive will, though it's not right, He will make His permissive will to work out, together, to glorify His perfect will. There is nothing will go wrong, with God. We're... He knows just where the clock is a-ticking at, tonight. There is nothing wrong. Every lick is hitting just exactly the way it should be, everything. We think it's wrong, but He knows it's right. It's supposed to be like this. Like at the beginning, God just permitted sin to come. He didn't, not... That wasn't His perfect will.” [Does God Change His Mind, Los Angeles CA, 65-0427

“But remember, you, in the--the statue that you are in, this morning, if you wasn't in His thinking then, you're not now. For you, there's some part that's in you, that's Eternal, and Eternal only belongs to God. And in God was His thinking of you setting right where you are now. In His thinking, I stood at the pulpit this morning, because He's infinite and knows all things. Therefore He could tell the end from the beginning, because He is Eternal. And you, being a son of God or a daughter of God, then you were in His thinking at the beginning.” [The Easter Seal, Phoenix AZ, 65-0410]

“ If you are a son of God, and if I am a son of God, or a daughter of God, we were in God at the beginning. And when Jesus became the fullness of the Word, then we were in Him, germ form. When He was crucified, we was crucified in His body. When He arose from the dead, we rose with Him. And now, since we have recognized it, "now we set together with Him, in Heavenly pLos Angelesces in Christ Jesus." See? For He... We, if we are sons and daughters of God, we are God's children, then we are attributes of God. Then we were... got Eternal Life. And God is the only Eternal Life there is. Then, we were in Him from the beginning. And when Jesus became all that Word, then we were a part of Him then. Amen! There you are. When that's in there, there is no devil, no powers, no nothing can ever move it. That's the tie post of the soul. 29    You can be anointed out here, in this spirit, and desire, and do all these other things. But when it comes to this tie post to that Word, you'll never move from there. It'll hold right steady and true, to that Word, as it can be. Outside of that, regardless of what you do, you're still lost.” [Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word, Jeffersonville IN, 65-0822M]

“You're standing, completely. You never sinned at the first pLos Angelesce. God don't even know. It's in the Sea of Forgetfulness. You never did it. You were accused of it, by the accuser. But really, from the beginning, you were predestinated to be a son and daughter of God. You're standing there, washed. And your old book of divorcement is put away, and it's dead, absolutely out of existence, even in the mind of God. You're the virtuous Bride of Christ, washed in the Blood of Christ. Precious, virtuous, sinless Son of God standing with a pure, unadulterated Bride-Word that He washed by the Water of His Own Blood; that become flesh and manifested, that He might take you which were predestinated in the bosom of the Father, before the beginning, the same as He was. He was that great attribute of God, called "love."” [The Invisible Union Of The Bride Of Christ, Shreveport LOS ANGELES, 65-1125]

“Jesus said at the beginning, "The works that I do, shall you do also." That's the way it was at the beginning. What kind of a works did He do at the beginning? The same works that He's doing now. What kind of a church did He have at the beginning? A church that was filled with the Spirit, that healed the sick, and prophesied, and great signs and wonders. And it wasn't ashamed of their religion. They shouted and danced under the Spirit like drunk men, and had cloven tongues like fire set upon them. And they done signs and wonders, and exploits followed them. That's the kind it was at the beginning. That's the kind it'll be in the middle. That'll be the kind it'll be at the last. You say, "My church don't teach that." Well, it wasn’t so from the beginning. You say, "I'm a Methodist." It wasn’t so from the beginning. "I'm a Baptist." It wasn’t so from the beginning. "I'm a Lutheran." It wasn’t so from the beginning. They were baptized saints of God with the Holy Ghost. That's what the beginning was: signs and wonders. You say they don't--"My church don't believe in it." It wasn’t so from the beginning. "My church don't believe in seeing visions." It wasn’t so from the beginning. "My church says the days of miracles is past." It wasn’t so from the beginning. "My church don't believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost." It wasn’t so from the beginning.” [From The Beginning It Wasn't So, San Jose CA, 59-1125]

“And today, when we see men taking the commandments of God and making them of non-effect to the people, trying to place them off in some far gone generation, Lord God, we are glad to know tonight, that there is people in the earth who believe that You still live, that believe that You're just the same today as You was at the beginning. And I'm sure, Father, if You could stand in the midst of the world tonight, and they cry out, "Oh, we great church of so and so," You'd point Your finger as You did then, say, "It wasn’t so from the beginning." We want the beginning. We want God's Word. We want it to live in our hearts and be real to our lives. Forgive us of our sins and our trespasses. O eternal God, let Thy Spirit dwell upon us tonight. And this message that's been preached, may it not fall upon stony ground, but may it fall into fertile ground, to hearts that'll receive it and will bring forth a hundredfold. Confirm Your Word, Lord, with signs and wonders. We pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.” [From The Beginning It Wasn't So, San Jose CA, 59-1125]

“O Lord, let me stay with Him, the Word. And manifest His Light, through all of us, as we set forth in this new year, with a determination. Not knowing what this new year holds, but we're holding to Him, the Word, that knows the whole Sympathy from the beginning to the end. He knows every move and every junction. And, Lord, we're just watching Him, keeping our eyes on Him, the Word. Then when we see these things appear, we know that we're right in the rhythm of the Word. Grant it. Save every lost soul, Lord, that here, and every one that hears the tape. We commit them to Thee, for Thy Kingdom's sake, in Jesus Christ's Name.” [Shalom, Sierra Vista AZ, 64-0112]
