<TITLE>09. Par 71-79</TITLE>L-71 But Saint Martin wanted the interview with him, and the guards stopped him at the gate. Well, Saint Martin fell on his face, and laid there, and prayed until God showed him to go in. When he raised up off there, he walked through them locked doors, and they opened by themselves, walked right on.
Now, this is history; this is just not somebody writing about him, and just as a little... If any thing, they would be prejudice, if it would be some church talking; or the, I'd say, at least, especially the papal church, they wouldn't mention those things. But see, the history quotes the truth. See?

L-73 And this man walked right up, Saint Martin, and right by every guard, everything else, right into the front of the emperor. And the emperor didn't want to respect God's servant. You know, that--that's not--that's not mannerly. So he just turned his head and wouldn't even respect him. You know what God did? He tried to talk to him, and he just kept his head turned, and God was going to make this heathen pay respect to His servant. So He just set the thing afire, and it scorched him all out of his seat, and raised him up, made him stand up.
Now, that's Bible history, "Nicene Council." He had to respect God's servant; He made him stand up. It even scorched the seat where he was setting; fire went through his body and scorched the bottom of the seat, and he had to jump up from there. God has a way of doing things, you know. Uh-huh. "God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham." And you remember, that same God dwells among us tonight. It's the same God. All right.

L-75 And then another that I like, and then I'll stop. I got some here, but I just... Now, this is one I was very fond of. While he was one day waiting for his people in prayer in his study room...
And he--he was a great man, and he carried this Holy Spirit-filled church in Tours, all... Oh, he was a--had them all filled with the Spirit, all of his congregation. And all out throughout all the country, the Christians did miracles and signs and wonders.
See, God speaks to His messenger; the messenger speaks to the laity. And then that's what takes place. You see? He--he keeps the laity and him alike in God (You see?), the Holy Spirit flowing through the group of them.

L-78 Many times when they was martyred, they stood the minister right out among them, like that, and killed them all at the same time. And what evils they did do to them people: they burnt them. They took men and nailed them with--down to logs, and turned wild dogs loose, or--and let them eat from the back of the person, pulling their intestines through before the person ever died. Taking women, would cut their right breast off, and let them stand there as their heart beat, and just throb till they pitched over, dead, like that. Take their children from expectant mothers and feed them to the hogs and things, let the mothers stand and watch it. And all kinds...

L-79 Now, you wouldn't think that people professed Christianity would do that. But listen, the Bible said, Jesus said, "It'll come to pass that they'll kill you, thinking they're doing God a service." You remember, that same Jesus that said that, through the same Spirit, predicted it again in the end time. It's got to come. If these others hit just perfectly with the Scripture, watch and see if it doesn't coincide exactly through the Scripture and through history. God said it would happen, here's the history said it did happen; God said it'd happen here, and here's where it did happen (See?), just exactly. Then what are we going to do when we get down to the Laodicean church age (See?), where we're at now, and the woes and things pronounced to get in it?
