<TITLE>07. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 So in that time of fellowship and communion, that's where God spoke to me. That's the way we want to just get into the spirit of it. You like to pray through and get in the Spirit? That's the only way you can do it. Shut yourself off from the rest of the world and get alone with God. And the reason that you like to do that, because when the first couple came on earth, Adam and Eve, that's what they did.
In the cool of the evening they come in from their vineyards and got down under the trees, the great cathedral as it was, and as the sun, perhaps, was setting streaking down through the bushes God came down in the cool of the evening and fellowshipped with Adam and Eve. Oh, my. That comes right on down. Knowing yet when you get in contact with God... And men when you come in contact with your friend, and God is your Friend. So you love to commune with Him and talk with Him.

L-25 Now, since sin broke that fellowship, man has been tossed about from ever wind of doctrine and he's still tossed about. He was turned out of the garden of Eden to shift for himself, and then that great time he's still tossing about.
God made one preparation for man to be restored back to that fellowship. Oh, nothing else... we have tried... He offered to the human race. Blood was the way back to fellowship. God killed some animals and took their skins, shed the innocent blood of the animal, and brought the skin and wrapped Adam and Eve in it, and fellowshipped with them again after the shedding of the blood.
This is God's way. It was God's way. It'll always be the right thing to fellowship through the blood, reconciliation bringing the believer back into contact with his Maker. We've tried to educate people to it. It'll never work. We've tried to draw denominational barriers, and say, "Because you go to this church or this church..." Denomination, education, signs or anything else outside the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ will never bring fellowship back to the people again with God.

L-26 We always fence ourselves off and make cults and clans, but God wants us to tear down them barriers like you all are doing around here now, bringing the whole Body of the Lord Jesus in fellowship around the Sacrifice, the Lord Jesus.
Why, my, you talk about spiritual gifts in the church; just keep that fellowship up and watch what happens. It'll pour down...?... automatically. If you get the thing running right, it'll run and God will add to it, but you've got to get on the right road first, and you're on the right road now when you go to breaking the denominational barriers down, putting your arms around one another, and say, "We're brethren." And then you're on your road back. You're on your road to the original.

L-27 Then the Blood of Jesus Christ, God Son cleanses us from all unrighteousness. We have fellowship one with another then when the Blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness. The only way that God has ever recognized has been through the shed Blood.
I have nothing against denominations. Those are all right. Nothing against education, that's all right. Nothing against great song festivals, that's all right. Nothing against joining church, or whatever you may be, it's all right, but it'll never, never produce until the Blood's been applied. The Blood applied to the human heart will always bring a result. That's what we need tonight, and when you get that, then things will just automatically take place when we do that.
