<TITLE>13. Par 116-125</TITLE>L-116 And people put their name on church books, trying to turn a new page on Christmas day, trying to walk yonder at church and just pay a few tributes to the manger back yonder. When the Holy Ghost pushing you just where...?... and the Word of God. And so blind they walk around, say, "Well, that's a bunch of holy-rollers." Just like it was in the days of Noah, so is it now.
The coming of the Son of God's drawing nigh. That's right. And only those who are charged by the Holy Ghost, who has Immortal Life living in them, the Holy Ghost, that's the type that's going to be drawed from here, just as certain as anything.
There was something another about that little old ark in the days of Noah, that floated on top the water. It was a drawing power from above, that was right in the top, that the glory of God shined from heaven down upon them...?...

L-119 And I tell you, today, friend, hear my Word. There is a drawing power, not from the church, not from the pastor, but from glory, this baptism of the Holy Ghost moving down in that life channel to draw up a Church. What is it? The power of God, the access to His Life, Zoe.
"These things that I do shall you do also; greater than this shall you do." He was persecuted, laughed at, made fun of, and died, and went in the grave. But He was true; He had the Spirit of God in Him, and God raised Him up. If we go the same way, so shall we come out. Oh, hallelujah. I love Him.

L-121 Can you hear me? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] You love Him? You love Him with all your heart? Isn't He wonderful? Oh, my.
Eye has seen, ear has heard, what's recorded in God's Word;
Isn't He wonderful, wonderful...
Let's bow our heads.

L-122 Heavenly Father, O Jesus, I'm looking forward for a great hour. I see it coming. I see there's no hope nowhere else. I see the age a-moving up. I see the great red lights of communism, swaying around over the earth. I see the formal churches taking their stands against Your Church, trying to condemn them, saying, "Divine healing's wrong. It's a bunch of fanaticism." A bill in our own White House to close It down...
Oh, but, God, the other day, setting there and seeing those saintly people, all illuminated with the power of God; looking upon their faces and seeing the glory of God they could be like the Hebrew children at the fiery furnace. "We'll never bow down. No. Our God's able to deliver us. You'll come quickly, Lord Jesus."
And I see the hour is setting in, when, "The form of godliness the people have, but deny the power thereof: from such turn away," You said, the Spirit speaking for the last days. And here we are in that day today.

L-125 Here's our little church setting here, Lord, men and women who I believe loves You. And I pray, God, that that Spirit that's filled many of their hearts, days gone by, will now come deeper and more. May they lay aside every malice, every strife, everything that's unlike You, and move up today, not to the manger, but to Calvary; not as altogether to Calvary, but to Christ, the hope of glory, the Deity of God, the magnificence of God, the power of God that's now in our heart, trying to draw us out of the things of the world, that He might take us out of this earth someday unto a better land. God, grant it today. Hear the prayer of Your servant, and speak to the people.
If there's any lost in here, any without the Holy Spirit, may they receive of Thee this morning. Grant it, dear God, for we ask it in the Name of Thy dear beloved Son, Jesus, Who nineteen hundred years ago was born in a manger, Who suffered thirty-three years later at Calvary for our sins, Who ascended on to high a few days after that, forty days later. He was received up into glory, then ten days later come again in the power of the Holy Ghost, and now living in the Church. And soon, with that same power that raised Him, the Holy Ghost in the Church to take it out. O God, come, will You, and save the Church? For we ask it in His Name.
