<TITLE>06. Par 37-45</TITLE>L-37 Did you ever think of the U.N. now trying to make all the nations one great big brotherhood, under a united power? United is all right. But it's under the wrong thing. Satan controls all the nations. The Scripture says that Satan is the ruler of the earth. When he taken Jesus up into a high, exceeding mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and he said, "these are mine," Jesus did not say they wasn't. For they are. That's the reason we have wars and killing, is because that these kingdoms of the world are controlled by the devil. And as long as they are controlled by the devil, we'll continue to have wars and fights, and killing one another.
But we look for a Kingdom to come, where Christ shall come, and there will be no more wars. And there'll be an everlasting peace.

L-39 Did you think that in this Russia, they have got a false Pentecost? They are. That's the work of the devil. They're trying to force all men into communism, where every man has everything commonly. Do you know that was the condition of the Church under the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, that the people sold their possessions and laid them at the feet of the disciples, and they distributed them to every man as they had need? And now the devil's come around, and got into the world and made a political power to force man to that.
God does not force man to do anything. You do it on your own free will. He can warn you, throw a barricade across your path, but you walk your own self with your own decision in His Presence to make Him your Saviour. But Satan has perverted God's plan to his own plan.

L-41 Did you ever think of Catholicism and the Catholic church is trying to make every person Catholic? It won't work. It's under a man-made program.
Did you ever think of the Protestant church under the federation of churches is trying to force all these little churches out? And it will happen, that you'll not be able to go to church unless you belong to the union of churches, then little places like this will certainly pay for it. But we got a Scripture that says, "Fear not, little flock, it's your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom." That's what we look forward to.

L-43 Then, you see, it's all the achievement of the enemy tries to do to achieve, but it's under the wrong plan. It's under his own plans, but he has no original. He has to take something that God has did, and then pervert it into unrighteousness to do it.
Today they're trying to pervert the world, or convert it into one great big union of--of nations, a brotherhood. And if it would be under a man-made disguisement, it would have a leader, and, hid--it would be the devil because he's the leader of all of them.

L-45 God's Kingdom is not of this earth. God's Kingdom is in our hearts. It's the spiritual Kingdom, that we're born into It. Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God comes, but not without violence. And the Kingdom of God is within you." The Holy Spirit, God's Kingdom, moving in the man, and governing and controlling him, that's the Kingdom.
And we find that these nations go about deceiving one another, talking peace with a knife behind them, just ready to destroy each other.
