<TITLE>07. Par -</TITLE>L-10-1 We can't discern by what people think, what intellectuals tell us, what psychiatrists tell us; we got to go by what God says. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." "Not discerning the Lord's Body, many are weakly and sick. Many are asleep," dead, spiritually dead. The last plague that hit Egypt was death. The last plague that's hit the church is spiritual death. What we need today is a spiritual awakening, a spiritual awakening to discernment.

L-10-2 These people might've done this, oh, with good intentions. That man down south, that doctor the other day give that man that sulfuric acid that killed him, he had good intentions. He thought he was right, but he had poor discernment. He didn't discern his medicine.
Like the little girl that was walking down the street, and she found a little kitty, and he was all wet and about half froze. And she took him in, opened up the oven door and put him in the oven to get warm. Her intentions was good, but her discernment was poor. I don't... We don't watch, we're going to bake the kitty too with some of our intellectual discernments.

L-10-4 The communist has come in on us. World is come in on us. Our churches are broken up. Men dividing themselves, separating themselves, not seemingly to have the faith, splitting hairs over little insignificant doctrines: we should come together arm and heart and pray, and fast, and call until God sends back the Holy Ghost that we might have spiritual discernment.
The hour has come at the end time now. We're in the shadows of the coming of the Lord, and the church can't discern it. We're living in the later hour than you think.
If Paul could arise from the dead tonight in Middletown, you talk about a burning fire. They'd have him in jail before daylight as a maniac or a wild man. That man filled with the Holy Ghost and see things going the way they are and knowing that the time is at hand, there would be revival, or they'd have to come to jail to hear him. That's right.

L-10-7 Now, all Jesus said, and the Bible speaks that in the last day just before the coming of the Lord, there shall be great signs and wonders taking place in the earth. And you know the church is so dead in theology and all kinds of schoolings, and trainings, and educational programs, till it can't discern those things.
Did not Jesus say to the church in His day, "You can discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the time you cannot discern; for if you would've known Me, you would've knowed My day." The hour of the deliverance of the church, and they can't discern it.

L-11-2 We're so... Something's wrong. I'm talking about the entire church: everybody that calls themselves Christians. God can start moving, and spiritual things happening, people getting saved and filled with the Holy Spirit; many thousands who call themselves Christians will pull back from it and say, "Oh, that--that's--that's holy-rollers." You haven't got spiritual discernment, for everything the Holy Ghost does is written in the Bible. Judge all things by the Scripture.
That's how we discern to see if our discernment is right. If the Bible said, "Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever," I believe it. If the Bible... If Jesus said, "The things that I do shall you do also," I believe it. And if the Bible said that the Holy Ghost is for every generation, as many as the Lord our God shall call, I don't believe a handshake takes its place. I believe it's the same Holy Ghost that fell then, showing the same signs, the same wonders.
