<TITLE>04. Par 30-37</TITLE>L-30   Now, the preaching of the Word, we enjoy it, but that's not the main thing. That's not. We should not worship the Lord just after we get through preaching the Word, as we usually do, just worship Him. That's wonderful. But we should worship Him every hour of our life. When we're at work, we should worship Him. Every time the opportunity presents itself, worship the Lord by testifying of Him.
If you see, some of you ladies, see a woman in the wrong, worship the Lord by taking her and saying, "Sister, there's a better life than this."

L-31 You men at your work, when you hear a man using the Name of the Lord in vain, get a chance to one side and slip over, and take him by the hand, and say, "You, there's a better life than this. You shouldn't use those words." And tell him in a meek, gentle way. All those things is a worship.
And when we see someone sick, and the doctor says there's no more can be done, we ought to worship the Lord by telling them, "There's a God of Heaven that answers prayer."

L-32   And then when we see those things take place, that we do see take place enough, we should never let these things slip. We just let it go through our fingers. That's what's the matter with the great Pentecostal church today. They've let the very cream of the crop slip through their fingers, when they had it in their hands. But, look what they done, they done like the rest the churches. "They've run in the gain, in the way of Korah, and perished; and the way of Cain, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah."

L-33 They've organized. Instead of having a brotherhood where we could all be one, they've organized themselves. Made little organizations and little isms, and sprung up from there and just broke up brotherhood. And if you don't watch, the Baptist and Presbyterians going to pick it up, 'cause, "God is able of these stones to rise children to Abraham." And we've--we've let it slip away from the hands by being disunified.

L-34   How did the Indians lose this country to the white man? Is because they were disunified. If they had made one big forefront... But they were fighting one among each other. They would have held their grounds if they'd have all come together.

L-35 How are we going to lose it? Because we're disunified. How we lose our experience with God, is because we disunify. We set up one, and call this the--the Methodist, and this the Baptist, and this the Assemblies, and this the Oneness, and this the something-else, and the church of God, and the Nazarene, the Pilgrim Holiness. We disunify the Body of Christ. We should never be divided. We might differ in ideas, but let's be heart-in-heart brothers. God wants us to be. He died for the entire Church of God. And we do not want to be disunified.
Now we ought to give the most earnest heed... lest any time we should let them slip.
For if the word spoken by angels were stedfast,...

L-36   You hear It? "If the word spoken by the angels..." Now, angel is the "messenger." The word angel means the "messenger." And just got through, in the 1st book here, "God, in sundry times and divers manner, spoke to the fathers by the prophets." That was God's messengers. And they were--they were God's messengers. They were God's angels. A messenger is an angel; or an angel is the messenger, rather.

L-37   A messenger! You are a messenger, this morning. You're... You are a messenger of good news or a messenger of bad news. Oh, isn't it beautiful, to know that we are ambassadors, that we are angels, the messengers of the resurrection? And we are God's messengers to the sinful world, that Christ lives. In our hearts, He lives. In our spirits, He lives. And He brings us from the low debauched life of sin, and exalts us up, and gives us a "hallelujah" in our soul, and makes us new creatures. We are messengers, angels of the Covenant. How wonderful!
