<TITLE>12. Par 33-34</TITLE>L-33 Men all down through the age has stumbled at that, so simple: Just accept the Blood. You can't cover yourself; take God's covering. You can't learn how to do it; there's no learning about it. God does it Himself, it's supernatural! It's through life; God does the covering. You can't do it. And not as much as you try to do it, you can no more clean yourself from sin by joining churches and taking creeds, than a leopard could lick his own spots off of him. No, sir. The more he licks them, the brighter they get. You've got to die to yourself, your own thoughts. Give up, and let the Holy Spirit cover you with His Presence and His power. That's God's decision. That's where the conference was set; that's what the decision was made. That's what...
That's the rules of God. Let's not try to figure out something else. Let's just take what He said about it; take God's provided way. That's it. Take it; accept it; believe it. God made the decision. He wouldn't let an Angel make the decision; He wouldn't let Gabriel make it; He wouldn't wet--let Michael make it. He come to make it Himself. Hallelujah! And when He was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and died for us, He made the way, Himself. That's the reason He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man...
He spoke it through the ages. It's always been God's way. God does it Himself. It's His own children; He won't trust it to an Angel. Then if He won't trust it to an Angel, He won't trust it to a conference, or a group of men: let them be bishops, popes, whatever they may be. How fine they are, that may be all right, but Jesus Christ is God's provided way. That's the way He said; He decided that at His conference. That's the way. That's what we must...

L-34 We must toe up to His line. What if in the U.N. when they were meeting, or the--the Big Four, and one had went their way, and say, "Well, I'll take it this way." And the other nation, that way, they'd--they'd have been apart. They'd have lost the war. That's what we are, Pentecostal people: We've got to unite ourselves together, and come to God on His grounds through the Holy Spirit.
God had decided this prophet was going to deliver His people, and the prophet done just exactly like his first son did (Adam); he took the fig leaf route. So it wasn't no good; God condemned it. And then, God had to come hunt him up. He'd run back out there, and married hisself a wife, and had a child, Gershom, and married Zip--Zipporah, and lived out there (a--a priest of Midian, his daughter) and was a graceful old sheepherder, getting along fine, nothing wrong.
And here come God, just like He did in Eden. There was something come up before Him; it shocked heaven again, like it did in Eden. Before the Eden Conference... It shocked heaven; what was it?
"I've heard the groans of My people." Hallelujah. "I've heard their groanings, and I've seen their sweat and blood and toil by the taskmasters. I've come down to wonder why they're not out of there." So what did He look around, and He found His prophet running somewhere: fig leaf route.
