<TITLE>17. Par 184-192</TITLE>L-184 Notice there, poor old Moses, after all that time. I want to show you what a man is before God. How Korah and all those... Notice when God told Moses, "Step out of the way, Moses; I'm going to destroy the whole bunch of them and make out of you a mighty nation."
And Moses threw hisself in the front of God, bridged his way, and said, "God, take me." And God could not cross that man, a power of a saint before God. Look at there.
Look at old Isaiah, goes up and tells the prophet Hezekiah, "Set your house in order; you're going to die. THUS SAITH THE LORD."

L-187 What an embarrassment it was in a couple hours, to turn back again. The Holy Spirit met him. 'Cause Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and wept bitterly, and said, "Lord, I beseech You to consider me. I've walked before You with a perfect heart." And tears run down his cheeks. And God had already sealed his doom, but prayer changed things.
He said to the prophet, "Go back and tell him."

L-188 Look what a warrior Moses was. In his last hours he got down there with that horrible temper, and finally glorified himself in the stead of God, and God would not permit him... 'Course, it was all pre-pictured just like the organizations today, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecost, all the rest of them, they're glorifying themselves.

L-189 A few days ago, one of the biggest churches, just because they couldn't be the only duck in the, puddle, they thumbs down on a meeting like that. I said, "I don't have to have your cooperation. Where the eagles are, the carc--where the carcass is, the eagles will gather." And that was right. Yes, sir. You just tell the Truth; God will take care of the rest of it.
And there they was, "Oh, we are the predominating."
I said, "I don't care what you are. God is the predominating One in our lives." That's right. It takes God, not what the church says. And the church, every one of them... Any historian here is a willing to look this up. There never was a church that ever fell that ever rose again. God lays them on the shelf. They never. The Lutheran fell; the Methodists fell; the Presbyterian, Baptist, all down through, and the Pentecostal too. God just throws them back on the shelf.

L-191 And if--if you believe me to be God's prophet, you listen to this. And I say it with inspiration. Not exactly now, but what has come before this, that there will not be one organization represented (of, what I mean, the whole organization) into the Kingdom of God; but God will pull out of every one of them, the cream of the crop, and fill it with the Spirit, and take it up into glory. That's right.

L-192 The Bible predicts that the last church age is the Laodicean church age, which is a lukewarm. And that's just as far as the church has got today. That's right. They got down to where maybe they can clap their hands a little bit, and make a little noise, and jump and kick the furniture awhile. But when it comes to really living a pure, holy, unadulterated, sanctified life, they're as far away as the night is from the day. That's right. What we need today is an old fashion dying out, brother, where it ain't go back to the altar and get over, and go back to the altar again, go back to the altar. Go over there and stay till you're dead, and then a dead man knows nothing about the world. Hallelujah. Don't want to get started on that again. Look, brother, let me tell you.
