<TITLE>04. Par 14-18</TITLE>L-14 Look. I say this so that you'll understand. This is the adult class, and we're mostly all married people, probably ninety percent. And I hope the young women and men understands, or boys what I... To understand me just to explain something. If a man takes to himself a wife, a woman, and she becomes his wife, and they live together as husband and wife for hun--for fifty years, they're just as clean and pure and unadulterated if they'd never knew one another. That's--that's God's program.
But for that man or woman to go and live with another man or a woman, that perverts, makes illegitimate children born. But if they live together in that perfect harmony, that's God's way. But Satan comes around and puts lust in the man or the woman, and they live contrary to those marriage vows, and that's perverting. It's the very same sexual affair, but it's perverted.
So that's what Satan does with God's correct thing. He perverts it. That's what Satan is doing today with the real genuine (listen), to the real message of God. He perverts it, makes something else, makes it appear to be something that it's not.

L-15 In the world today, we find that there is a people (The Bible predicted it.), three classes of people. One of them is the cold, starchy, formal, indifferent. They just go ahead, no more than belonging to a lodge. They go to church, talk a little about this, that and the Lord, and so forth, come back, but no actual borned again experience.
Oh, some of them claim it, but their live proves that it isn't. See? Now, that's over on one side, way away. And now, down here on the other side, the fanatics... And a real, true church... Jesus said so, "Will be so close together, it would deceive the very elect."

L-16 Now, many people, as soon as they see the fanaticism mixed up with the real, "Aw," they say, "there's nothing to it. Go on." See, that's the same thing the Pharisees done. Satan doesn't fool with trying to pervert that. He's trying to pervert this Truth, and this fanatic here is trying to impersonate that Truth. See? There's where your danger line lies, right there. Now, it behooves us to stay spiritual. Read the Word and anything that rises outside, contrary to the Word, then cast it aside.
That's the reason many times that I'm... They say I'm too hard on women preachers. The Bible says for them not to speak in the church. The Bible forbids them to speak in tongues or anything in the church. I have to stay with the Word. Watch where it's at.

L-17 Look at it. In the world today, where all this ism rises up. Watch on all the cults of non-meat eating, and a legalist that, "I've got to do so-and-so. If I don't speak with tongues; if I don't do this; if I don't shout; if I don't dance, there's something wrong with me." That's legalism. We are saved by grace through faith.
Nothing what you done. It's what He did. He did what you couldn't do. If you could've saved yourself, then He wouldn't have had to die. But He died in order to save you, where you could not save yourself.
That old God dishonoring proverb says, "God helps those who can't help themselves," or "God helps those who help themselves," they say. That's just vice versa. If you can help yourself, God expects you to do it. God helps those who cannot help theirself. And you can't help yourself to be saved, so God by His grace saved you.

L-18 Now, notice how beautiful. The law, great in the eternity, how God foresaw this loop. And if He is infinite and cannot--cannot be nothing else... Let me just take just about five minutes to drive this down tight, and nail it so it'll never slip from your minds again.
May the Holy Spirit then come and weld it together with love, so that you'll never leave it. Now, look. God Who cannot lie, God Who is infinite... And I say this again for a people who can't seem to center theirself on Divine healing: if God promised it, God has got to take care of His promise, can't leave it.
