<TITLE>11. Par 35-37</TITLE>L-35 Revelations the 17th chapter said that the Catholic church was a whore and the Protestant churches was prostitutes. But God's people was the called out of that, of the whole thing. "Come out of Babylon." said the last warning angel's message. "Be not partakers of her sins. Come out." Separate yourself and be different, not from just a logical standpoint, not because you think it's right to do, but pray until that thing's in your heart. 'Cause that's just what happen to Pentecost a few years ago, and the Nazarenes, and Pilgrim Holiness, and all the rest of you people. That's right. That's what happened to you. You say, "Well, the rest of them, they--they all... The sisters are all letting their hair grow out, and they're... And you know, I believe I'll do it too." Oh, you hypocrite. That's exactly. That's the reason you turned right back around and do what you do now. You never had it at the beginning. If it was in your heart, all devils in hell never root it out of there.
How can you ever make you anything but a human being when you was borned a human being? How can you ever be anything but a Christian if you're borned a Christian? But to reject the truth, then the devil seals the ear. Faith cometh by what? And if your ear is sealed, you don't hear it any more.
"Aw, nonsense. I don't believe in that stuff. My pastor... He never told us that. He--he--he's got four degrees in college. He's better than these holy-rollers." Go on. Your ears are sealed. They said the same thing about Peter and John. Said, "They're ignorant and unlearned men." But they had power (Hallelujah.) to make a lame man leap like a hart. They opened the eyes of the blind. They unstopped the ears of the deaf, because they were preaching the jubilee year. Thanks be to God for the same Holy Spirit.
That's just the first step: rejecting Christ, rejecting the message. No matter how much you try to pretend, that don't do nothing to you. That only takes you deeper in hell. Your life proves what you are. Jesus said, "By their fruits you shall know them," not by their church, not be their affiliations, but by their fruit. There you are. That's the beginning of the mark of the beast.

L-36 Then the next thing you know, you go out to some great, fine church where they got a lot of theology, Dr. Ph.D. John Doe. "Oh, well, you see, those fellows are unlearned. You see, they don't understand. We know in the seminary these things are a little different from that." I'm so glad that there's still a living Christ to bear record of His Word.
And then they see all the signs and wonders. They can't hide that. They can't put it down. God is just so, made it so real until they can't keep from seeing it. They're trying to battle it with everything they can, but they'll beat their brains out and never do it.

L-37 As I told you, standing at the statute of liberty one time, little birds laying all around and things, around a big light there, and I said to the one, "What did this?"
He said, "Last night there was a storm. And the little birds was flying right into the light, trying to put it out. Instead of taking the light as it searched out, go to safety, they tried to beat the light out, and they beat their brains out."
And I said, "Praise the Lord."
Said. "What's the matter with you?"
I said, "I just thinking of all these infidelic, lukewarm, borderline preachers and believers, trying to put the true Gospel Light out, you'll beat your brains out, and God's Gospel will shine through eternal ages." It'll do it. Why don't you step in the light and let it take you to safety? It'll bring you right into a knothole in the rock (That's right.), where...
There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
When sinners plunged beneath the flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
