<TITLE>09. Par 33-36</TITLE>L-33 When Martin Luther saw the Fire in the first reformation, he come out of the Catholic church, and he built his denomination under It. The Fire moved into sanctification, he was already organized under that and couldn't do it, go any farther. Methodist took it; they organized under that; and they couldn't go no farther. Pentecost come and took it from them. Now, if we don't watch, the Fire will move right on again. Let's stay under the Fire, worship right under the Fire, worship in the power and the Spirit, believing God's Word, laying aside every weight and every sin that doth so easily beset us.
And what is sin? Unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already." There's just two sins, and one--two things in the world: One is faith, and the other one is unbelief. Committing adultery, smoking, drinking, that's not sin. That's the attributes of sin. You do that because you're not a believer. A believer doesn't do those things. You either believe or do not believe.

L-34 There's three classes of people usually attends the meetings anywhere, and that's unbelievers, make believers, and real believers. And they're always that crowd everywhere. And now what we want to do is be real believers, throw our heart into this Word, and let the Word be the--Word of God be the final decision of every one of us.
You owe it to me; you owe it to me as a minister. If you ever see anything that's going on in a meeting that's not exactly with the Scripture, then you owe it to me to come tell me. That's right, you do. I believe that God does things that's not wrote in the Bible. I believe that. God's God; He can do what He wishes to. But as long I know it's staying right in that cover there, and know that God made a promise, I feel assured with that. As long as I can have that, I'll be satisfied with whatever... anything else we... Nothing else will satisfy me like that, as long as I can stay right with that.

L-35 Now, the only way to find out what Jesus is today is to go back and find what He was yesterday, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that logical? Is that sensible? Well now, let's go back then.
I was reading here a few moments ago in Saint John the--the 12th chapter, I believe it was. Yes, sir, the 12th chapter and the 20th and 21st verse. Now, let's go back to the first book of Saint John. I want you to study with me. And through the week, so we won't stay too long...
I guess you heard that go off just then. That was my watch. I have an alarm watch from Switzerland, and I think when I've said enough, I--I have that alarm set. But I haven't got started yet, so I just had to turn it off. And so...

L-36 Now, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. Let's turn back to the first chapter of Saint John and find out... If you read a book, and it said, "Mary and John lived happy ever after." Who is Mary and John? You'll never know till you go back to the first of the book and read the book through. And if the Bible says that, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever," the only way we'll ever know what He was, what He should be today, we'll have to go back to see what He was yesterday. Is that right?
Now, let's find out. We get Saint John 1. We'll just quote some Scriptures; I want you to read it. I'm going to go over a few chapters in it tonight, tomorrow night, pick up some more and so forth as we go along the way the Holy Spirit will lead. Well, let's find out what He was yesterday. Then if we can see exactly what He was yesterday, and see Him come into our midst, and do the same thing today, every sick person in here ought to get up and thank God and walk out. Say, "It's all over."
