<TITLE>06. Par -</TITLE>L-518-Q-108 The next one is:
 108. Now, if our precious Lord should let me do a little thing for Him, should I go back to the communities where I have ministered partially in the--in error (of which I am sorry) (He has that in parenthesis.) and try to tell them the truth? They have been so--they have been so upon my hearts.
No, brother, I wouldn't think it was necessary for you to go back into the same community. And I believe, brother dear, when the Lord calls you, He may never let you go as you once was in a community, and you perhaps taught things or had things that wasn't--that actually you see different on now (See?), that you might see different from what you did then. Now, and the Lord, when He called you, He may... If He makes it real to you, He might send you anywhere. See? You wouldn't have to go to any certain community or anything.
When you were there you were sincere. I know the brother, as I say, that's wrote these questions. With the deepest of sincerity, and a real genuine Christian, you did the best that you could do and with all you knowed how to do, and that's all God requires. See? Now, if God should call you back to that community, I'd take right back again. But if He didn't, I--I believe I'd just go wherever He sent me to. Is there a question?

L-519-Q-109 Number three:
 109. How does one know their rightful position in the Body of Christ?
That's a good one, very good. "How does..." That'd be the kind of question amongst many of us here tonight: "How do you rightfully know?" Now, I'm presuming that this brother wants to know "What position, what in Christ, what part of Christ do I play?"
Now, for instance, I'd say like this, brother, to give you the best answer I know. Your position is--in Christ is revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. And then if you want to know whether it's the Holy Spirit or not, find out whether He blesses what you're doing, or not. And if He blesses it, then that's Him. If He doesn't bless...

L-519-50 Like someone said to me not long ago, said, "The Lord called me to preach."
I said, "Well, then preach." See? And so he--he... I really think it's so... Satan, if he can just get somebody as to act like that and then deceive them, that's just what he wants to do. Then the whole world points their finger right there. Somebody thinks they have a gift of speaking in tongues and interpretation; some has the gift of Divine healing; some has these things like... Sometimes they're mistaken in those things. See? And sometimes they think they haven't got it when they have. So it's very tricky.

L-519-52 So always do this, brethren, whenever you feel that you're supposed to do a thing, first find out if it's Scriptural for you to do it, if it's in the Scriptures, not just wrote in one place, but I mean completely Scriptural through the Bible for you to do it, your position, say if you'd be an evangelist, pastor, teacher, prophet, whatever that God might've called you to be. You see? Or if you have the gift of tongues, gift of interpretation, gift of any--any kind of the nine spiritual gifts in the church, and the four spiritual offices of the church, any position, first see if God called.
Then, usually, way I watch it for myself, just... This is me. I watch the nature of the person and see what kind of a gift that they're professing. See, God will work with His creature the way He's made him. See? He'll make a creature...

L-520-54 If you see him real flighty and going on, you--and he says, "The Lord called me for such and such a--to be a pastor." Now, a pastor can't be a flighty person. A pastor's solid, sound. See?
"God called me to be a teacher." And watch him how he interprets the Word. See? He gets It all mixed up and everything, then you can tell. See?
But then, the thing to do, your position is usually known whether you can do it or not.
