<TITLE>09. Par 78-88</TITLE>L-78 Now, here's my idea of it, brethren. When the... That temple there represented the Temple spiritual, the Temple that we're now in. They come into the temple for their blessing. We are baptized into the Temple of God, into the Body of God, into the Body of Jesus Christ. And we're in Christ by Holy Spirit baptism: I Corinthians 12. "And there is therefore now no condemnation to them that's in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1), that walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." They desire spiritual things. They don't care about the fleshly things.
My flesh says, "I'm too tired."
My spirit says, "You're not. I'm your Boss. Follow Me." Amen.
See a case out there, and the doctor says, "You know that case can't get well. That case is gone." I'll look at her. I say, "That's right."
But the Holy Ghost comes and gives a vision, said, "It's going to get well." Then I say, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, the man will live."
And we don't walk after the things of the flesh no more. We walk after the things of the Spirit. That's right.

L-83 Now, when these stones come together... They was cut out all over the world in the different places. The wood and the... hauled down from their tall cedars of Lebanon, was cut and brought to Joppa by ox cart, and on in by so forth, by raft till they come to make the--the temple. But when they come together, no...
I want you to notice. One stone was cut this way, another stone cut another way. Perhaps, when the masons were cutting them, they might've argued and fussed, and everything else, like a bunch of preachers does today, "I'm the Methodist. I'm the Church of God. Glory to God, I belong to the Assemblies. I this." You keep fussing. But remember, it's God is the One that's doing the cutting.
And when this cuts this way, and one that way, they couldn't understand. But when they went to put it together, the whole thing was laying on the ground. And they put it block on block on block, and didn't have to cut no more.

L-87 I believe, one of these glorious days, when this united confederation of church goes together, and the new pope is brought out of the United States and put over there according to prophecy, then they'll form an image like unto the beast. And I tell you, the true Church of God will be drove together. The real, true believers out of Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, whatever they'll be, will go together and cemented by the love of God, that'll make the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, all the believers. And agnostics and shallow-minded will be cast to one side; they'll go right on into the confederation of churches.

L-88 And I read the other day, even the Assemblies of God went into the confederation of churches. Oh, my. Have to deny their evangelical doctrine to do so. That's right. And all their Pentecostal signs and wonders, principle, they have to deny that to be in the confederation of churches: have to deny it, oh, brother, to have prestige.
I'd rather, as I've said many times, lay on my stomach and drink branch water, and eat soda crackers, and be popular with God, and to be His servant of God; than to have the best there is this world gives if I had to compromise on my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Bible. I believe This is the infallible Word of God, and every Word of It is right. Yes, sir.
