<TITLE>11. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 Notice this generation, wicked and adulterous generation, will seek after a sign, and they will get it. What kind of a sign? The sign of the resurrection. He is not dead, but He's alive. Our religion is not a history; it's a living fact. It's a living God. It's a living experience. As it was in the days of Jonas...
Now, as He went along, He give another expression. He said, "And as it was in the days of Solomon..." Back in the days of Solomon... When God sends a gift to the earth, if the people receive it, it becomes a golden age to them. If they reject it, it becomes a chaos to them. Look what happened when Jesus was God's message to the people, and they rejected it. Look what happened to the people that rejected it.
In the days of Solomon, Solomon was... Solomon's reign, any minister knows that was a golden age for Israel, the greatest age. They built the temple. They had no wars to amount to anything, and they had a power of God among them. Oh, that gift was so great, till all the nations around about fear them.
Listen, brother, what we need today... We don't need atomic shelters. What we need is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Nations will fear. If this whole United States that claims to be a Christian will fall under the power of God, there'll be so many things happen here till every nation will be afraid to turn an atomic bomb loose. Right. He is our Refuge. He is our Strength, our Shield, our Buckler, our All in all.

L-38 Now, we notice then that He said, "As it was in the days of Solomon, the queen of the south come from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon." Now, in the days of Solomon all the people were with one accord. They all come in and rallied around a gift. Solomon had a gift. Did you know that? Solomon had a gift of discernment, and he had a... He could discern things: showed it come from God.
Well, all the nations come around, and go in--in the temple, and hear this great man, Solomon, watch his wisdom and know he was just a man; they knowed that had to come from God. And, oh, how everybody talked about it. Every Israelite could stick his chest out, say, "We don't serve a dead God. We serve One that's alive. We can prove it to you. Come down to the meeting tonight and find out whether it's right or not." Amen. I like that. You know where you're standing then. Come down and see if it's right or not.
"Come on into our country over here. See if the living God can come into a man and make him a superman almost." Amen. That's what He does with every borned again Christian--a superman, a super woman, super child, turns his back on sin and the things of the world, and walks with peace with God. Super sign, He said He'd give a super sign.

L-39 Now, notice. All the people rallied around it. Wouldn't it be wonderful tonight if all America, all of we Americans would forget our denominational differences, and we'd all rally around the gift that God give us, the Holy Ghost? Every church and every person would rally around that, why, the... It'd be the talk of the world everywhere. But oh, no. "If it's our denomination, it's all right. But if our denomination, it ain't with us, nope, nothing to it." Oh, how carnal. No wonder God can't do nothing for us. When those conditions... He ain't got nothing to build on.
Notice, He will never build upon our organizations. Just get that out of your minds. He will build upon Christ Jesus with each individual that'll come and receive Him out of any organization, a true honest heart.
And one's just as good as the other when it comes to that, 'cause it's all organization. Which is all right. That's perfectly all right. But whenever you place...
