<TITLE>08. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 His own credentials was the works that God give Him to do. He said, "If I do not the works of God, then don't believe Me." They had their own way of believing: by a man's credentials, by the denomination he belonged to, just as it is today. He's known by his denominational credentials. But a man of God, the Holy Spirit that's among the people gets onto people, gets on to the minister, gets on to the congregation. It identifies what It is, not by a denomination, but by the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ foreshadowing His coming. Oh, what a hour that we live in.

L-31 Palms in hands, clothing on the back, ready to strow the way, "Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord." What come in the Name of the Lord? The Holy Spirit. "When He comes, He will show you things to come. He will not speak of Himself, but He will speak of Me," said Jesus. And the Holy Spirit comes to do Its work in the Name of the Lord Jesus, all the way from the pulpit to the baptismal pool, to the healing service, to everywhere else in the Name of Jesus Christ. Watching for the coming of the Lord, preparing a Church as a forerunner, as John the Baptist forerun the first coming, the Holy Spirit is in the Church, forerunning, getting a Church ready for the second coming.
And the world cries out, "Who is this? Where did they come from? What credentials have they? What schools do they come from?" You don't find them on the record." It's in glory where they come from; in heaven's where their records are. For their Kingdom is not of this world, but it's of the world that is to come. Their desire is not of this world, it's of the world that is to come, their fashions, their desires. That's the reason the dressing, and the acting, and the habits of the people of the world is so contrary.

L-32 You'll usually do... You--you'll usually do like the spirit that's in you. It motivates your life. It makes you what you are, is the life that's in you. And when men and women claim to be Christians and still want to be like the world, there's something wrong somewhere; for we are not of this world, for our spirit...
If we were Germans, we'd like Germany. If we were Finland, we would do as they do in Finland. If they're Americans, they have the American spirit. If we're Christians, we have a heavenly Spirit, and our Spirit come from above that directs our lives and our thoughts. That's godly, brotherly love, clean life, honorable, respected peoples.

L-33 Now, in there they said... Some was for Him; some was against Him. Now, there is people today who firmly is against everything that's called God, no religion. And they're mostly in the majority in our country. World over, they're far in the majority, millions and millions that's never heard the Name of Jesus Christ. They are in the majority.
Then there are those who are professors of religion. And they love to put on their ceremonies. They love to be dignitaries. They like to dress, and to go to the church, and to have some a... kind of a hymns, and a--a little message of some sort, talk of a God that was, and then place Him so far back in history that He can't move, that He was something that was. They want to claim that Jesus is right. He was a good fellow. He was a great man. He was like Washington, never told a lie, or like Napoleon. That's their attitude about Jesus. They think that He was just a good man.
Many of them today don't claim Him to be Divine. They just claim that He was a good man, that His teaching was right. Some of them believe Him to be just a prophet.
