<TITLE>09. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 I hope you see it. The character of the Pentecostal, and Baptist, and Presbyterian church... Our characters should have us up into a place where we can be in an office to meet the crisis of this hour that we're in. What a shame we are. But will God answer in a time of crisis? He will not only answer, but He will make manifest in the time of crisis, if the people assemble together. No matter if two or three, whatever it is, and pray there, He said he would hear from heaven.
Now, notice as the tutor brought message, and the father finally taken the son to the place where he was to be manifested...

L-31 It's time for the Church today to be manifested. Instead of that we draw little lines like this, and we have these little campaigns, and these little doctrines, and these little denominations that separates us. How can God ever pour His Spirit on such as that, when He loves the Methodists the same as He does you Baptists, or you Pentecostals, or all of His children bought with the same Blood. See? But we draw lines.
And now, if the other fellow draws the line, you just live right along his line, and he will be so... You be the salt, God will make him thirsty, if you'll be the salt. You are the salt of the earth. And salt, if it contacts, saves. And salt creates a thirst. And people will thirst when they see you living the life that you should live as a son and daughter of God.
Then we see, then after that the father then, taken his son out and robed him in a beautiful robe, and set him out before the public as an example, as an ensign, and all manifestation, and declared, "This is my son." And he received in the ceremony the rights. In other words, his name on the check would be just as good at the bank as his own father's name, for he was a heir of all things. Praise God.

L-32 I'm so glad that one of these great days, God will come. He will manifest His Church. We'll be heir to all things then.
Now, as Jesus... God taken His Son Christ up to the Mount Transfiguration before three witnesses: love, hope, and faith, those three elements, the sufficient elements to work out every problem the Church has. You let faith, hope, and charity get in among the people in a church and watch what takes place.
So He manifested His Son before all these great elements: hope, faith, and charity. Now, I want you to notice, on under the cloud was three others, Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. Three over the... Three is a confirmation, confirms anything.

L-33 God was confirmed in the trinity of Father, Son, Holy Ghost, not three gods, one God confirmed in three manifestations. God manifested Hisself as a Father, then He manifested Hisself in the Son, then He manifests Himself in the Holy Spirit, the same God every time.
So... That's not hard to see. They cause so much fuss about it. Well, that's not hard; that's simple. God manifesting Himself... And here God is manifesting Himself on Mount Transfiguration before hope, faith, and charity: love. Watch Him.
Now, Peter upon receiving the vision... I like to be present where God's doing things. Don't you? Oh, I imagine how the other disciples wished they would've went up. I just love to be there where God's a doing things. He taken them apart. I like that.
God don't take great denominations apart; He takes individuals apart to speak with them. He takes you apart to speak with you. Sometimes over in the closet when you feel led to go and you don't go, then you might miss something. God wants you to go to church, and He wants to manifest something to you through His Word, through some move that He's making. You fail to go, you'll miss seeing something.
Oh, I imagine when Peter, James, and John come off that mountain, they wouldn't have missed that for nothing. Wished I'd have been there, don't you, to have seen that.
