<TITLE>09. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 Now, when that son was born into that family, he become a son, because he was borned in the family. He's a son by birth. And now, to you Presbyterians and Baptists, also, listen to this. But because that you are borned again, that doesn't mean all of it. You just become a child. You become a member of the body of Christ. But that doesn't mean that you're living in your privileges yet.
And that's what's the matter with you people, what's the matter with the world. They are living under their privileges, because they think when they were borned again, that settled it. That only puts you in position for every Divine promise that God made. That's right.

L-28 Now, when this child was born... Now, any of you know, you ministers know where I am going, right straight to the placing of a son. Now, when this child was born, what did they do? They--the father did not have time with the child, because his business was so great, he put a tutor or a raiser over this child. And now, before he put any man over his child, he was sure that he had the right man.
Oh, this is the part that cuts down deep, to me. The father so loved that little tot of his, he must be educated. The father had business all over his kingdom, all over his place. And maybe he wasn't able at the time to bring up the child, so he gave him to a tutor, a raiser, a teacher. But before he did that, he certainly combed through the country, until he found the best teacher he could find, and put it over his child.

L-29 What a beautiful type it is, that when a child is born in the Kingdom of God, God selected the best Teacher that could be found: the Holy Spirit, not some denomination. The Holy Spirit is the Tutor of the Church of the living God, not men. They only know earthly things. So He couldn't have said, "William Branham, you be tutor." I don't know enough. He couldn't have said, "Billy Graham, you be tutor." He don't know enough. Oral Roberts, we don't know enough. We are human. We've got to be raised ourselves. But God searched the heavens and got the mighty Tutor, the Holy Spirit, and set It down to raise His Church. Oh, how beautiful.
Now, this tutor had to be an honest tutor. He was to raise the child, and to bring the father word how the child was progressing. Remember, and bear in mind, he's already a child. But his character, after he's a child, will count his inheritance. So he's a child. And here the tutor would have to bring word to the father how he was progressing.

L-30 Now, what do you think today (now just draw it in your minds), how the Holy Spirit must blush when It comes before God to bring the differences, and the isms, and the condition of His children today. When we fuss, we stew, we fight, we argue, we have all kinds of isms, and mix-up; and brotherly love is gone, and all the things that God put in the church, we are riding over it. And what do you think the blessed Holy Spirit does when He comes before the Father? How He must blush to say, "Oh, a... they're not a... doing so well." And remember, the Holy Spirit is honest. He brings a true report. "They're not doing so well. Oh, they're fussing at each other; they don't get along. There's no--there's no fellowship among them; they are jealous of each other." Oh, my.
How that must make the Father feel, when the Tutor has to come and say, "Well, Sir, I--Your--Your--Your child is not doing too good. Oh, he... No, he won't listen to Your Word. That's right. He's got his own ideas. He--he just won't listen at all." How that Tutor must hate to tell a Father, and how the Father would be hurt.
"The--they won't listen to My Word?"
"Oh, no. They got their denominations. 'I'm a Presbyterian. I'm Pentecostal. I'm Apostolic. I'm a--go--don't tell me nothing about it.'"
