<TITLE>21. Par 76-78</TITLE>L-76 And I believe today that we've denominated ourselves; we've been indifferent; and we've treated our neighbors indifferent. Sometime we've hollered, "Well, the old cold, formal Baptist, and this Pentecostal group, they belong to the temple down here; the Four-Square, they ain't got nothing. And this one over here, why, he's the Assembly of God; he ain't got nothing. This is the Jesus Name Only, and he ain't got nothing." And one wants to do this and one wants to do that, and just fussing... And brother, every one of them's got the baptism of the Holy Ghost, or at least they claim it, and the same evidence to prove it. That's right.
Well, what we need today is a consecrated life, where you have to speak nothing, God speaks in your place and He proves just what you are. That's right. The Blood of Jesus Christ cleansing us from all unrighteousness, then we got fellowship one with another, the Blood making us clean and holy.
We live so that we could walk up to a--any denomination, a church, or anything, say, "Good morning, my brother." Not a hypocrite, he'd know it, but with a true heart, and say, "How goes it with you and God today, my dear brother?" Like that, and walk along, talk with him, and have fellowship with him, that's the way. That's when you're getting salty.
Now, you can't do that, just impersonating. If you do it, you're a hypocrite. That's all. If you do it just because you know it's a line of duty, you don't do it at all. Stay before God until it's in your heart to do that, then you're coming right with God. Do you believe that?

L-77 I believe it with all my heart, and I think that's where the church has failed. I think we've failed to bring love among us, and to bring fellowship among the groups, and things like that. And we've tried to push ourself into something that God has not ordained. And I believe that if we would just walk back down the line to God and say, "God, here I stand. Nothing at all I have to offer You but my life. But, God, I pray that You'll let me live so that--that I'll find grace in Your sight." That... Now you're coming along, getting pretty close to the Kingdom. That's right. Then you'll see a real healing meeting.
When you come up to the altar, don't come, "Glory to God. I received the Holy Ghost forty years ago. Praise God. Hallelujah." That don't do no good. Huh-uh. Satan don't care how much you say that. The thing of it is, to walk up with a true assurance in your heart, that you know where you're standing.

L-78 I was amazed here not long ago at a little woman come down to the platform. There was two of them together. And one of them come through, and I said, "How do you do, sister?" And...
Now, remember, I believe in all the spiritual demonstrations. Yes, sir. I have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and I know what I speak of.
And they come down the line. The little lady come up to the prayer line, and she started dancing around real fast. And I said, "Would you stand still just a minute so I could speak to you." And I... She couldn't do it, and she just kept dancing around.
"Well," I thought, "I'll just try the next one." And I got the next one to come down; I tried to take a hold of her hand. I said, "I'd like to talk to you just a little bit, sister." And then she started dancing around.
I said, "Oh, I love that. It's beautifully." And I know Miriam danced in the Spirit. I believe in it. Yes, sir. But there's times for all things. You see? And when you're coming up here, come soberly in the Presence of God. Come with a perfect assured heart that God's going to keep His Word, and melt yourself down by the Holy Spirit.
And the little lady, I couldn't even... I didn't know what happened. And one of them, I'm sure, had cancer; she's probably dead tonight. But she just wouldn't stand still; you couldn't get nowhere. See? Because the woman had been taught wrong, a wonderful person, no doubt.
