<TITLE>07. Par -</TITLE>L-10-1 And then you'll hear some clergyman get up... And you might be reading a Bible, and you see where Jesus performed and done miracles. You take it to the pastor. "Oh," he'll say, "now look. We don't believe that." Who's we? Who is the, "We don't believe it?" Him and who? It isn't him and God, for God wrote it. It's him and somebody else.
And if you'll get behind it, it's the same motive that was at the tower of Babel: to build a man-made earthly dominion. But God don't want that. He don't want you all united under the Methodists, under the Baptists, or under the--any ecclesiastical church head. He don't want you all united under Rome. He don't want you all united under the--a--any--a church dominion. He wants you united under His Spiritual Kingdom, the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes, the world becomes dead, and you're filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
And the devil is a person that has to stay away from you. You're under God's domain. You are a new creature. The Holy Spirit come into that empty place and filled it up.

L-10-4 Now, a pastor, any cult, some little literature you'd read might say to you, "The days of miracles is passed." That's a good place for the devil to slip one of those spirits in there and make you a worse person, you was when you was a sinner, 'cause a religious sinner is the worst of all. That's the worst; Jesus said so. It's the worst spirit.
Then you might go to a meeting where the great power of the Lord. And the first thing you'd say when you saw it, "Now, I just wonder if I get mixed up with this; they'll give me my letter at the church?" See where you are at? Now, maybe it doesn't...

L-10-6 There's fine denominations, fine pastors: Methodists, Baptists, all different types that believe in the supernatural moving of God, that believes that man's got to be born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, and I thank God for every one of them. There's many of them that believe. God's got His children stuck out in every place.
But what I'm trying to say, in the majority you find out that all those churches... I want to ask you Methodist people something that do not believe in Divine healing. What about John Wesley, your founder, when he was riding his horse to pray for a sick woman, and the horse stumbled in a gopher hole and fell and broke its leg, John got off his horse took a bottle of oil, and said, "Lord, You made this horse, the same as You made me," and anointed the horse with oil, and he got on him and rode away. What about that? You preached it in a modern Methodist church today, they'd throw you out the door. Certainly.

L-11-1 But you see what it is? The old mother prostitute of the Bible (Revelations 17), she had daughters. And surely I don't have to go into detail on that. Protestantism is a product of Catholicism. Certainly it is. They brought a lot of this stuff out, still hanging onto it, still doing it, way away from Scriptural teaching, way away from the apostles' teaching.
They made themselves up an apostles' creed. I want any man to tell me where the apostles ever coated a--a quoted a creed like that. Never, never. But you lay onto it. And you call your priests, "father."
And Jesus said, "Call no man father."

L-11-3 And you people, you get your little prayer books out, both Protestant and Catholic, and say prayers over and over and over, both Protestant and Catholic. And Jesus said, "Don't use vain repetitions like the heathens do, think they can be heard by much talking." You see?
Pot can't call kettle black. That's right. It's all under condemnation, every man-made theory. And that's the reason when a revival like this come to the city, these seats are setting empty, but God will send it anyhow. And the papers will blast it. And at the day of judgment, when you're called to answer, you'll be found guilty as they was back there.
