<TITLE>22. Par 76-78</TITLE>L-76 Men has went forth with gifts. That's true. I have no doubt to say, I'm not a critic of anybody's... What they believe; that's up to them. See? But I've seen man with gifted ministries, but they went forth and more or less made a... What would I say? Now, with respects and with love, and God knows it's from my heart... See? They have made more like a--a money gathering affair out of it. You see? Just get people together and want to put on some great big something and maybe they put the money out, and... Well, that may be all right, but it seems to me, they say, "Well, if the end's a coming, what's the people need with their money."
Well, what do you need with it yourself? See? So that the thing of it is--is get the Gospel to the people. You see? As I preach, I believe if we just... And gifts... You see, signs and... Now, a person could come here this morning, and stand here in this pulpit and work great miracles and signs; that wouldn't even mean the person was saved. Devils works signs and wonders. Sure they do. Sure they do. And the Bible said they'd do more than that in the last days. Well, Jesus said, "Many will come to me and say, 'Lord, have not I cast out devils in Your Name, and have not I did this, and have not I done that, and all these things.'"
He said, "I didn't know it. Depart from me you workers of iniquity." See?

L-77 I believe the time is coming... The manifestation of the gifts that's give to every man that profit with all. That's--that's true. I believe gifts are wonderful, and we need them and respect them. But I believe the time's coming when it's going to be on a higher standard than that. Why, after all these things is done away, that which is love will endure forever. See? It's the love of God... We'll just--we'll just be standing preaching like this or talking, and just the love will just settle over the building. Whew. My. You see?
This is the day of preaching. This is the day when we got to move in and get sinners and pull them out. See what I mean? That's what the preaching of the Word's for, is to the sinners and to bring them out. Now, we have to watch in there and we've... Signs and wonders are done by the laying on of hands and so forth, 'cause it's preaching. But I believe the time's coming now, when she's just about... the Church is about anchored away. See?

L-78 God won't have a freak body. He won't have six fingers on one hand. It'll just be five fingers on one hand, the Body of Christ won't be freak. And when the last person has come into the Body of Christ, then it's over. It's over. I don't know which one; this might've been the last one this morning. You might've been the last one. Maybe over in Africa today, the last one will be brought in. But when the last one's done, I mean the gos... You may go ahead and preach the Gospel, but they'll be no response. See? There's no response.
Talking with Billy Graham and them, where they went into a place where thirty thousand, or twenty or thirty thousand was converted, they couldn't find twenty or thirty people within a year. Think of it. Just think of that. See? Now, that makes me a Calvinist, exactly. See? What God has made, God has made.
