<TITLE>02. Par 8-15</TITLE>L-8 And we sure have enjoyed this time of fellowship around the Word of God with you fine people. I trust that you'll be faithful now, and come to church, and obey the teachings of the Bible through our gallant brother here, Brother Neville, which I highly recommend as a servant of the Lord God, and moving on deeper and deeper with God, and I'm so happy for that.
And the little church, I admonish you, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, to grow in the grace of God; hold yourself steady and look towards Calvary all the time, taking all the roots of bitterness out of your heart and soul, that God might use you at any time. If you ever feel to do something, or a revelation or something comes to you strangely, something warningly or something, be careful. Satan is as sly and slick as he can be. See? Put it with the Word of God and consult your pastor. See?

L-10 And you find gifts and so forth creeping up in the church, and the operation of these gifts. Before you let it go to operating and things, first... Feel it pressing on your heart... Now, the enemy's real slick. See? And that's just what tears the churches to pieces every time is a true gift operated wrong. See? Something God's trying to do and operated wrong, it'll just--it'll just simply not only hurt you, but it'll tear the whole church up. See? Consult it; take it through and through the Bible, then test it and see if it's God or not. Just keep testing it and trying it, see if it's perfect right down the line and right with the Word. Then you're all right. See?
As long as the Word has said it would be here, would operate this certain way, stay right with it. Don't never get off, no matter what anybody does, how real it seems to be. If it doesn't reflect in the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelations, leave it alone. Don't take no chances; we're in the last days when Satan is just deceiving as he can be.

L-12 Forgive me if I try to take the place of a boss; I'm no boss. But I feel to you like Paul said back there about his congregation once, "You're the stars in my crown." When I cross over the land over on the other side yonder and meet you in that glorified condition, I want you to stand there to shine like the stars in the crown. See? And I--I want you to be there; I want to be there.
And I remember in my vision when I seen the Presence of the Lord, or His people in that glorious land yonder, I looked around and I told them... And they told me He would judge me first by the Gospel that I preach. I said, "Just exactly the way Paul preached it."
And them millions of people screamed out, "We're resting on that." See? Now, I want it to be so. And we are going to meet there someday.

L-15 And God never sent Brother Neville and I to be bosses, not at all. We're just your brothers (You see?), instructors in the Gospel. So let's all work together.
And sometime if a--if something operating has to be called or--or said something about it, called down, or something on that order, and the person that's got that gift rejects it, just remember--refuses it, remember, the gift wasn't right. It wasn't God in the first place. The Spirit of God always is ready for correction, sweet, humble, willing. See? If it stands up and say, "I'll do it anyhow," you know how sometime... Just remember, arrogant spirits are not of God. See? So why take a substitute when everything, the whole earth, is filled with the glory of God (You see?), real power of God. Why will we take a substitute? We're too late in the day now; but, remember, the Bible has said he'd come in like a--just as sly as he could be, and deceive the very elected if possible. See?
