<TITLE>07. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Now, if that boy is no good, yet he's a son; he's never nothing but a son because he's borned a son. But if he is not obedient and the right kind of a son, he just continues a son on out without any reward. But if that is an obedient son according to the Scriptures, then there is an adoption of that son, or the placing of that son. And then after he gets a certain age, he's taken out into a public place. And there there's the great ceremony made, out before the public. And this son is set up on a high place and there is a ceremony of adoption. Think of it now. The father adopts his own son into his family. And then after that, that son's name's just as good on a check as his dad's. It's a public ceremony, and they're all out there, and they see this father positionally place that son.

L-26 And that's what's the matter with the church today, the reason that we don't have great mighty manifestations. This great church of the living God in these last days should be far down the road with every Divine gift set in order, a great, beautiful church. But we have broke up into denominations, and isms, and little fusses, and everything, till God can do no more with us, until we come together and get our hearts right with God. That's why our blessings are about run out. That's why in the churches it's getting cold and cooling off, is because we've been indifferent towards God, His Spirit, and His Word. It's true. We never welcome the Holy Spirit no more.

L-27 What if the king would come, the queen would come over here and visit Edmonton? All the flags would go up, and they'd lay out the welcome carpet. The little girls and maidens would stand on the street to welcome their lovely queen when she got off the train. Down through the streets they would--she would go. She'd have the best the city's got. The ladies would stand and throw rosebuds and different welcomings to her. That's what you should do. But she's just the queen, just a woman. And then Jesus can come to a city, and they'll say, "Holy-roller, fanatic; take them out; we don't want this; it's against our denomination." Oh, God, have mercy on His stupid children.
When Jesus Christ will manifest Hisself in the midst of the people to show His resurrected power, and those who are supposed to be His children will shake their heads and say, "That's nonsense; it just so happened that way. It, oh, I don't know; that's telepathy." How the Holy Spirit must feel in the Presence of God with such as a message as that to take to Him.

L-28 No wonder we don't get nowhere; everybody's wanting to pack the ball. When a correct football game is going on, they'll pass the ball to their best man. But today every man, "Bless God, I can take care of myself." And that's the reason we are torn; we never have a touchdown. Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecost, and all together, we are in this great fight of life. We ought to stand behind our pastor, stand behind our brethren with all that we got within us. And instead of that you say, "Oh, he's Assembly; he's a Methodist; we won't have no fellowship with him. We never cooperate in that meeting. No, sir, we won't have nothing to do into it." Oh, you poor, deluded, decrepit people, shame on you. What do you think the Holy Spirit says in the Presence of God? There is not no division in the church of the living God.
