<TITLE>20. Par 162-167</TITLE>L-162 "What about Your son?"
Huh? Same thing."
"What?"
"Well, you know you always said that those sheep should herd in that pasture up there on that sheep food up there. Yeah, you know what he did? He drove them down there in that weed pile. Just took them down there and dumped them all in that creek, and let them lay around in that weed pile, eating them old willows, and they're so poor they can't hardly get out of there." That's bishops, pastors who deny the power thereof. "Well they... I tell you the truth; I never seen such a bunch of nervous sheep in My life." He don't like that. No. "And You know what? Them cattle up here, you know, you--you told them to feed on that--that alfalfa up there, you know, to make them fat?"
"Yeah." You know what he's giving them?"
"No."
"Them old ironweeds. Yeah. He's making them join societies and everything. You never see the likes in Your life. You never seen such in all Your life. You know what he's doing? Going along out there smoking a big cigar, reared back. He's got his wife with him, she's wearing shorts just like the Philistines are doing out there. Yeah." That's the kind of message the Holy Spirit has to take about church today. Now, what do you think about that?
That's adoption. What did He do? He predestined us--us unto adoption. He give us the Holy Ghost; but wait a minute; adoption, that's what we're talking about. Adoption...

L-165 "Well, You know what he does? The bishop come by the other day, and so he was having a little healing service down there; the bishop come by. Some guy, a brother come by and was praying for the sick. And he said, 'You stop that.'"
"Oh... oh, yes, father bishop, I'll do that."
"Don't you cooperate."
"Oh, no, no, father bishop, sure not."
"And here I come and tell him the Truth right out of Your Word. See, here It is. I read Your laws to him exactly what to do, and he won't listen to Me. He said, 'Oh, that was for another age, another son some other time. That don't mean me.'" There you are. That... Now, that's truth, friend. Now, don't you see where the church misses its placing, why we haven't got revivals, why we haven't got things going on? That's where it lays.

L-167 Joshua say, "Gad, I want you to... Right in here lays your place according to the blueprint, your place lays here, right here. You get in here, Gad, and stay here. Benjamin, you go right down here. And now, you all stay away from the border of the Philistines." Joshua comes back, here they all over in the Philistines, having a big old shindig, just dancing up like that, and all the women painted up, and dancing around, having a big time. And Joshua scratches his head and say, "Now, what?" Now, that's just exactly what's taking place; not all, thank God, not all, but too many. All right.
