<TITLE>08. Par 66-75</TITLE>L-66 He never stopped it then. He can't stop it now. That's right. God's Gospel will move on, and on, and on, and on. And when there is no more heavens or no more earth, that Word would still remain the same. "For heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away." It can't pass away. That Words is just as immortal as God Himself. It can't pass away. I believe every Word of It. All the things that Jesus was, He is now, always will be. That's right. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The same Holy Ghost that fell on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost of today. I'll admit It's been tramped on, made fun of, misinterpreted, misrepresented, and everything else like that; that's only the devil counterfeiting. But there is a real, genuine baptism of the Holy Spirit that brings the same results that they had on the day of Pentecost. That's right.

L-68 Sure, the devil's got the old crow baits out there. I tell you the truth. Every time you see a scarecrow up, remember, there's something good around. That's right. Sure. You don't see a scarecrow on old pineapples... or I mean, hedge apples out here. You get it under the big sweet trees, where you see the scarecrow, 'cause they're wanting to scare away. The devil sticks every scarecrow around real good Holy Ghost religion that he can put around there. Because right in there lays Jesus Christ, the resurrected Son of God, with His immortal power the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen. That means "so be it." All right.

L-69 Now, we find out, they put them in the inner prison. The next morning, give them a good thrashing, and sent them off.
Now, we find Peter, this morning, standing up among them, down here in the 4th chapter. And he said, "Why, you men of Israel, and you that dwell in Judaea! Let this be known to you. Jesus of Nazareth, how He proved that He was a Man of God. All the signs and wonders that God had done by Him, proved that He was a Man of God." They knew that He was God's Man. And then he said, "You, with wicked hands have crucified and slayed the Prince of Life; Who God's raised up, and we are witness of it."
Said, "By faith in His Name this man is made whole." Said, "If we're examined today for the good deeds that we've done, let it be known unto you and all the house of Israel, that through the Name of Jesus Christ this man has been healed."

L-72 When they questioned, "What--what religious group do they belong to? Under where was they ordained at? What cemetery did they come out of?" Or something another like that, "Where did this all come from? Where did we get your rights to do this? Show us what group you represent so we can go back to the elders and find out what you're doing this for. Yes, sir. We want to find out what church teaching this kind of heresy around here. Where you from?"
Peter said, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, through faith in His Name, this man's made whole." Amen.
And they couldn't say nothing about it, 'cause there stood the man and they knowed him. Amen. Amen.

L-75 Notice, look what he said here now.
 And this is the stone that was rejected of you builders...
 Neither is there salvation in any other name: for there's no other name under heaven given among men, whereby you must be saved.
Oh, the rejecting of the Stone, the Stone was rejected. Why? When they built the Solomon's temple...
I want you to notice a very beautiful picture here. When they went to building Solomon's temple, the stones was cut out from one place, and another place, and another place. Some of them was cut this a way, and some that way. But the Bible said that when they come together... It taken forty years, I believe, to erect the temple. And there wasn't a buzz of a saw nor the sound of a hammer in forty years. The stones going together, stone on stone; only thing they had to do is smear a little mortar across it and set it down there. And it stuck, stone by stone, stone by stone. Think of that.
