<TITLE>08. Par 59-65</TITLE>L-59 Our modern Paul Reveres has run well, but they're just running; there's no message. The hour is here; a crisis is on. A world is at the end. Churches has met their climax. Nations has met their climax. Human life has met its climax. Science has met its climax. We've organized and made big churches, polished our preachers, and physically set them together, that they know how to use their verbs and adverbs, and their sounds, and--and all their vowels, and every thing just right, and psychology to contact the people. But that wasn't what Jesus said.
"In My Name they shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. If a deadly serpent would bite them, it wouldn't harm them. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." The world needs a messenger with a message to tell something, know where the message come from and Who It come from.

L-61 Paul Revere, as he got on his horse, a gallant man, a man that's in history as long as there's a nation to be history of, he made that notable ride from the church steps with a message that alarmed everyone from the poorest to the richest, from the farmer to the businessman, "The British are coming!" And the minutemen made themselves ready for att--an attack. And this great nation was saved.
If this heritage of God, if this people that God died for, if this church that's called by His Name is ever to be saved, we've got to have a messenger with a message from the throne to meet the challenge of this day. There's a Goliath, but God will surely have a David somewhere. We've got to meet the contact. We got to have a... We got to have a message,

L-63 We're going, but with nothing to say. It proves it, when we come to a place that a nation or a people that denies Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, and stands in the face of our most challenging ministers of today. And then in our great church league, finding some thirty Communists packing papers for twenty or thirty years, that they're members of the Communistic party in our united churches. What can we do? It shows they have run without a message, selling out the very birthrights of the nation, selling out the regular birthrights of the church.
It all has come to a showdown. It's come to a place that the little church that's believed the message, and stood on both feet, with their eyes centered to the Cross, in their heart the resurrection of Jesus Christ burning... It's come to a place where the nations has got to recognize it. It's to a showdown.
No wonder that the churches... When the Council of Churches, it's so honeycombed with Communistic, no wonder they can't believe in the supernatural. No wonder they can't believe in Divine healing; they don't have any message in their heart, no matter how hard they're running.

L-65 If the Holy Ghost comes into a man's heart, he'll believe that Jesus Christ is raised from the dead, and He's alive in him, to do, and to do the will that He come to do; the will, the will of God through the man's life.
But the trouble, we run; we go without a message. We go with theology. We go with some kind of a church interpretation of the Scriptures.
We got to go with the resurrection. "Go tell My disciples that I'll organize a new church"? No, sir. "Go tell My disciples that I'm risen from the dead, as I said I would be." That's the message to the church this morning, that Jesus is not dead. He's alive, and just as great and powerful today as He ever was.
We've had many messages of warnings to make ready, Paul Revere, and other great men, and great wars and storms, and things.
