<TITLE>11. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 There was a decision also made, a Pentecostal decision. A hundred and twenty went to the upper room, and they were waiting because that their--their Leader, their Lord had ascended up into the heavens to the Father. And He had told them; He said, "Now, you wait up to the city of Jerusalem. And I don't want you to go out preaching yet. I don't want you to have any schooling. You don't need any more theology. But I want you to go up there and just wait there till you get in one accord, then I can send the decision of heaven back to you."
That's what's the matter today. That's what's the matter with our churches today. What's the decision for this hour? Looky, here, when Khrushchev, and with the communists the other day, could take a little bottle of medicine, and shake it in the face of the world, a atheist, ungodly, god-hating nation, and say, "We can take a paralytic and pour this into him, he will straighten up again."

L-40 What a disgrace. Although I'm thankful for anything that can be done to help the sick, I don't discredit that. But deliverance wasn't given to infidels; it was given to the ministry of the Lord God. The church of the living God has deliverance with them. It doesn't come from a bottle; it comes from Calvary. What's the matter? There's something wrong. We need a conference. The Church needs to come together. The people needs to come together, and wait with one accord until the decision comes.
They're trying to build bomb shelters down under the ground, four hundred feet and make it out of steel. Why, the concussion of one of those bombs that blows a hole in the ground a hundred and seventy-five feet deep, for a hundred and fifty square miles. Why, there's no way to dig out of it. There's only one way to get out of it, is go up out of it.

L-41 Conferences... How deep we must go, how much enforced concrete and other things, that won't--that won't be worth that. We're at the coming of the Lord. The church needs to be called together in a conference. Come, one accord and wait to see what the decision of God is. "O Lord, what must we do?" We've come down now; we preached the Gospel. We spoke with tongues; we've had interpretations. We've had signs, and wonders, and miracles in our church, but we've come to a place till we're halting.
Now, the--the communist shake a bottle in front of us, say, "We got it here."
Jesus Himself said, "Verily, I say to you: if you say to this mountain, 'be moved,' and don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you said will come to pass, you can have what you said."
Oh, my, what's the matter then? A conference, that's what we need, a conference: one accord and a conference.

L-42 They waited. They wanted to see how the church should be conducted. They wanted to see whether it should be conducted by intellectual conceptions of good moral living, whether they should conduct it upon the basis of--of certain sprinklings, or forms of baptisms, or what must they do? How must the new Christian church be conducted? And there was a conference held in heaven.
How they must do? Carry a pad of paper with them and take everybody's name down, give them communion, and send them on, was that it? But they were waiting with one accord in one place; that was Pharisees, Sadducees, all the rest of them. The little things of their denominations had been broke down. Their sect and so forth of their--of their religious teaching had been broke down; they were called to a conference by Jesus Christ. There they were waiting with one accord. And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were setting. There appeared unto them cloven tongues like fire, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and begin speaking with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
