<TITLE>20. Par 207-216</TITLE>L-207 Brother, there's not a fly could light on a post there, without Him knowing it. "All things are open." Brother, He knows every thing that you ever did, ever thought you ever thought of. That's what He is. We believe Him like that.
And when God comes into us, and sets us in the Church, He puts gifts and things in the Church, to operate His Being. If God is that infinite God, then He heals the sick. He can raise the dead. He can cleanse the lepers, make the blind to see. He can give visions. He can do all kinds of these things, working through His Church, because it's God in you. There is the Church.

L-208   How does that church become a Church, by joining It? No, sir. By shaking hands? No, sir. By water baptism? No, sir. By membership? No, sir. How do you get It? "For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body." There you are.

L-209 Romans 8:1.
There is therefore now no condemnation...
"No worldly condemnation." They can't accuse you of nothing.
There is... no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, that walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

L-210 There you are. That's how to judge your Christianity. That's how to know you've entered into that Rest, the world don't bother you no more. Certainly. You see it, walk away from it. You got something better to think of. There you are, "No condemnation." That's how we get into the Body.

L-211   And you're secured, "Forever." The Bible said so. Look over here in the Hebrews, the 10th chapter. He said:
For where there's offerings of bulls and sacrifice, a remembrance was made of sin every year.
But this man,... through one sacrifice...
Blessed be His holy Name!
For by one sacrifice he hath perfected for ever...

L-212 Hallelujah! Not for the next revival, but forever. "Old things have passed away; and all things have become new." We're walking in the Light, the beautiful Light. The birds sing different.

L-213 Setting here, looking at this little alcoholic, about five years ago, I guess. Rosella, a walleyed bat, walking down the streets of Chicago, drunk, twisting around, walking into every kind of sin that there was, drunk and in everything that she could be. And one night, the Holy Spirit, that's quicker and more powerful than a two-edged sword, said, "Woman, you are an alcoholic." Hallelujah! If that ain't the same God that was back yonder, who knowed Sarah laughed behind Him, I don't know what He is.

L-214   Up in the audience to another little woman. She went and got, and brought in there. Said, "You are a dope addict." How He discerns the thoughts of the mind!

L-215 And great big aristocratic ministers setting there, who has world-wide evangelism, with their hands folded back, in tee shirts, thought we didn't know them, like they could set under a meeting like that and God wouldn't reveal who they were. Setting there, looking different, like they were somebody else. The Holy Ghost knowed who they was. And they set there, in their hearts, thought It was mental telepathy. Know no more about God than a Hottentot would know about Egyptian night. That's right. They know It by letter, but not by Spirit. "The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth Life." That's it. That's the idea. "Quicker, more powerful than a two-edged sword, a discerner of the thoughts of the heart."

L-216   Listen. Watch.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifested in his sight: but all things are naked and open before his eyes to him... whom we have to do with.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest... (Listen now; to the sick.)... that has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
