<TITLE>15. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 I'm not trying to scare you; I'm only preaching to you the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I know it by... You know it, the Scripture says so.
Jesus said, "Except a man be born of the water and Spirit, he will in no wise enter the Kingdom," no matter what church he belongs to, how good he's lived, or what profession he's had, he's got to be born again. That intellectual has got to be cast down, and the new creature in Christ Jesus, a new soul in the heart has got to take root. And it'll believe every time, the Word of God and call It the truth.

L-51 Your pastor sometime, tell you, "The days of miracles is passed. There's no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Spirit." He himself is dead. That's right. Didn't the Bible say they'd transform themselves into angels of light. That's what Eve was looking for when she was lost and deceived by Satan. Did he say they'd a form of godliness, but would deny the power thereof? From such turn away.

L-52 That's the Gospel in its plain simplicity. When it's the Gospel, the power of Jesus. If God being living in you, the hope of glory formed in your heart, it'll agree every time with the Word of God.
'Course, that devil, very religious, as he spoke to Jesus, said, "If thou be the Son of God, perform a miracle here before me, let me see it with my own eyes."
Jesus said, "It's written that man shall not live by bread alone."
When He was hanging on the cross, said, "If thou be the Son of God." What? The same Spirit speaking through cultured ministers, intellectually who was denying. The church had hung Him to the cross; the church persecuted Him; the church killed Him, the intellectual ministers who served the law, the letter. That's right. They killed Him; they hung Him to the cross. The religious people of the day killed Jesus. That's what a killing the church today, is the religious people of the country, through their cults. Not what you call cults. Many time we have got a bunch of cults, bloodless, and heartless, and everything. Sure, that's right.
But some of your great intellectual psychology teachers in the churches and things like that, it goes around, say, "Well, you can just believe. That's all there is to it. And put your name on the book, and live."

L-53 Oh, man, what's the matter with you? If you're a child of God, your Spirit will say, "God's Word's right," and you'll live that kind of a life to back it up.
And Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." That's right. "In My Name they shall cast out devils, and so forth, and heal the sick, and do things."
Today, you say, they... "Them days of miracles is passed." Look where you're living. There you are. Don't take the intellectual. Take an experience with God.
When you experience agrees with this Bible, and said, "Every word is true, "You're Jehovah." And my spirit bearing record with His Spirit, we're sons and daughters of God; we've passed from death unto Life. It's true.
