<TITLE>13. Par 79-84</TITLE>L-79 But when the body had been formed and that last name that's on the Book be recognized here on earth, the books are closed, for it is completed; the story of redemption has been read completely. Then we go to see Him and to meet Him in the resurrection. "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that has sent Me has Eternal Life and shall never come to the judgment, but has passed from death unto Life. No man can come to Me except My Father draws him." "And it's not him that willeth or him that runneth; it's God that showeth mercy," said the Scripture. It's not him that willeth. A lot of people say, "I'll join church; I'm going to be a good guy; I'll do this." That has nothing to do with it. It's God that showeth mercy.

L-80 Now, you see, when God began in... There's seven Spirits of God, just like the seven colors in the rainbow. And did you ever notice, a three cornered piece of glass reflects seven perfect colors? Did you ever try that? Set a three cornered piece of glass--yet it's only one piece of glass, but in three corners will reflect seven colors. That's how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, being One, yet reflect the seven spiritual attributes of God.

L-81 And then, the first great Spirit of God which is love. God's like the great rainbow; we couldn't imagine what He looks like. But just say He looked like the rainbow in Spirit. The perfect Spirit of love, red; blue, the perfect Spirit of fellowship, just all perfect Spirits. And then they begin to condescending, coming down, and they come all the way down from Phileo love or Agapao love to Phileo love, and on down to lust, and down to the lowest. And then God Himself become a Man, Jesus, and came down that same way to the lowest pits of hell and picked out those who He knew before the foundation of the world whose names were written on the Book, and redeemed them back to Hisself. There you are, the story of redemption cannot be fully known until we see Him and we stand in His likeness.

L-82 Now, that's why we're not a denomination. That's why we do not cooperate--we cooperate in every move that we can for God, but that's why we are not a denomination. Now, out of the denomination comes them false things.
Now, as I said, I'm punching hard, because I want it to stick. Now, out yonder in somebody else's church I wouldn't think of these things. I'd be Christian and brother enough just to stay on the great principles which we all agree on. See? But it's just--it's just like we don't want cheating.

L-84 I was speaking to a young boy yesterday where I was squirrel hunting, yesterday morning, way down in the mountains of Kentucky. And I didn't notice the little posted sign in the woods, and I was setting on the other side... And I thought it was Brother Banks here coming up through the woods; he was squirrel hunting too in the same territory. And I seen him come on, and I whistled at the young man. I thought it was Brother Wood, dressed, just like him. He turned around, and I seen it wasn't him. And Brother Wood had told me that there was a place up there was posted. And I didn't know it. There's no line fences, just the woods, and how would I know which hickory tree belongs in which side? So I was setting there listening to the squirrel bark. And I was thinking about, "Well now, tonight I go home and start the meeting; I get back in the harness again."
