<TITLE>04. Par -</TITLE>L-5-4 Why would Paul commiss--command that after it'd been done? Paul said, "Even if a angel from heaven come and preached anything else, let him be accursed." Now, you say, "We got new light on it." No, you haven't. That's what the devil come to Eve with: some new light. Don't need no new light. You need to walk in the light that God's already put here; that's all.

L-5-5 Now, watch this. Just how simple. When they come down from Mount Transfiguration, Jesus said to His disciples, "Who does man say I, the Son of man, am?"
One said, "You're Moses, or Elias, one of the prophets."
He said, "Who do you say?"
He said... Peter said, "Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God."
He said, "Blessed art thou Simon, the son of Jonas, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you." See, it doesn't come through seminaries. It doesn't come through denominations. "Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. You never learned it through any school of theology. But My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you. And upon this rock I'll build My church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against it": a spiritual revelation of Who He is.
Notice, "And I say that thou art Peter, and I'll give unto thee the keys to the Kingdom. And whatever you bind on earth, I'll bind it in heaven; whatever you loose on earth, I'll loose it in heaven." Now, He had to keep His Word or He wasn't God.

L-6-2 Now, and when He did that, a few days later He was crucified, rose, ascended up into heaven, and Peter opened the Gospel on the day of Pentecost. Did he do it? Certainly, he did.
Now, watch. When he was... They was all mocking at them, because they were filled with the Spirit. They were called heretics, holy-rollers, or some kind of a name like that. And they even laughed and said, "These are full of new wine."
And Peter standing up in the midst of them, lifted up his voice and he said, "Men and brethren, hear my voice. Hear my words and hearken unto me. These are not drunk like you suppose they are. This is just the third hour of the day, but this is that which is spoken of by the prophet of Joel. 'And it shall come to pass in the last days that I'll pour out of my spirit...'" and what He would do upon His sons, and His daughters, His handsmaids, and so forth in the day.

L-6-3 And when they begin to hear this, they were cut at their heart; for they heard a man that didn't know his abc's, yet they had to take notice to him, knowed he had something inside of him burning him up: the Holy Spirit. Stop him? Why, it'd be like trying to put a fire out on a dry building on a windy day. You couldn't do it. He was filled with the Holy Spirit. And what did he do now?
They said, "Men and brethren, what can we do to be saved?" Now, watch out Peter. You have the keys to the Kingdom. See?
Now, when Jesus rose on the third day, He did not have the keys to the Kingdom of heaven. Did you know that? He said, "I got the keys to death and hell," but not to the Kingdom, because they had been given to Peter.
