<TITLE>15. Par 57-61</TITLE>L-57 (Excuse me for this rude expression.) But that's not complete yet. Fellowship complete can only come through relationship. And the only way you can completely fellowship with this wife as your wife, she's never become a complete fellowship to you until she has abide in relationship; that's the bedroom. There's where new life begins.
And that's the way it is with the church today. We can never take creeds and things, and ever bring back real genuine fellowship, until we become relationship with God, to be borned sons and daughters of God. You say, "That's rude, preacher." It's the truth though; it's the truth.

L-58 Notice then, what if the little bride will come in a set on his lap, but she's too bashful. She don't want to go into the room; she don't want to go into the complete fellowship and relationship with her husband. There'll never be any more life.
Now, that's the way it is today. We claim to be the Bride of Christ. We claim we're the Bride. And if we are the Bride, we're to be bringing forth children. We're not ashamed of the Gospel.
When I first walked amongst the Pentecostal people, I heard them... And the bunch that I was with, why, it was a... It was quite a bunch; I'll admit that. But there's one thing I noticed: They wasn't ashamed of the thing that they was talking about. They run up-and-down the aisles; they had a power that I never seen work before. Because they had entered into relationship with God, and was borned again, and was sons and daughters of God. They'd stand right on the street and holler, "Hallelujah, praise God!" They'd walk up-and-down the street everywhere, shouting and praising God; they wasn't ashamed.

L-59 But today, our men, our women are getting away from that. They're get away from the old fashioned landmarks we used to go by. You ought to get back to that old Pentecostal landmark. What you need here in this valley (as I looked around today) is an old fashion, God sent, sky blue, sin killing religion, the power of the Gospel back in the churches again; back through the Blood of the Lord Jesus, into the fellowship by relationship, by being borned of the Holy Spirit, entering into the Pentecostal Shekinah. Amen!
I'm not beside myself; I know where I am. Oh, but brother, sister, to get caught away into that Shekinah Glory where just you and God alone are standing, fellowshipping. That's the only approach that I know of.

L-60 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... of the burnt sacrifice. He maintained that all through life. When he was a young man, he made preparations for it. And then when he got old, and when his trials come and when his... Although falsely accused...
They said to him, "Job, you're a secret sinner." His church members come and claimed that he'd done something evil. Job maintained his fellowship just the same; he knowed he was righteous, because he'd come by the way of the blood. It held so good, till even he said in the hours of his temptation, "Though He slay me, yet I'll trust Him." Amen! That's what the Blood does. That's what the fellowship through the Blood...

L-61 Daniel... No wonder we fall back so easy. No wonder we can't hold from one revival to the other one. No wonder the great Billy Graham said in Louisville, Kentucky, that the Bible was a standard. He said, "Paul went into a place and had one convert; went back the next year and that convert... He had great-great-great-great-great grandchildren of it. Twenty or thirty had been converted by that same one." (I was at his breakfast in Louisville.) And he said, "What do I do? I go into a city, and I have--claim thirty thousand converts in six weeks; I go back in a year and can't find thirty."
