<TITLE>16. Par 53-55</TITLE>L-53 The Word, the Word's God. "In the beginning was the Word. The Word was made flesh and dwelled among us." He was God, and the Word, the Word, Christ, in you--a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart. Oh, sleeping church, rise. Ministers, shake yourselves. The hour is here. Flee from these towers of Babel to the cross. It'll fall one of these days. "Every plant that My heavenly Father hasn't planted will be rooted up. But upon this rock I'll build My church, and the gates of hell can't shake it down." Exactly I'm so glad.
A spiritual revelation--the whole Church is built on revelation, upon this rock. The Protestant says He built it upon Christ. The Catholic said, "Built upon Peter..." Both wrong. He built it upon Peter's revelation of Who He was. The great main revelation always is Who Jesus Christ is. The Book of Revelation, which is the revelation of Jesus Christ, opens with that very thing, to show the supreme Deity of Jesus Christ. "I am He that was, and which is, and shall come, the Almighty"--the first of all revelations. Yes, the revelation...
"Upon this rock I'll build My church. I don't care how many persecutions, how many lines they draw and cut you out, I'll build My church, and the gates of hell will never prevail against it." That's right. Shows all the gates of hell will be against it, but could not prevail. "I'll build My church," the Holy Spirit moving, working, the resurrected Christ moving. Who can stop it? Try it. You never be able to do it. It's going right on, and on, and on. Rise all the critics you want to, it'll only strengthen the church every time you do it: going to move on.

L-54 So she got off, took her camels, put her money back in the little kit; I imagine camped out there. So the first time to attend the meeting, she goes in the next morning. I imagine they had all the trumpets sounded, the bells rang, and the hymns were sang, and after while Pastor Solomon walked out on the platform.
Oh, they had a lot of people there, maybe a lot of prayer cards give out that day, for all I know. They had some way. Anyhow she got her seat, perhaps, and set down in the back of the church. Nobody knew her. Big court that morning. Solomon come out, very fine man, spoke very nicely to the people. After they had prayer and everything, Solomon set down. And when they did... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] oh, my.
They found out that Solomon had some kind of a power within him that couldn't be a man's power. It was God's power. Watched it... The next case, same thing, the next case, same thing, next case, same thing, every one of them infallible. I bet her little heart begin to beat. She said, "Now, if that keeps on, I'm going to get me a prayer card too."

L-55 The next day she attended. She wasn't rushing. No hurry. She wanted to look it over. She went home, maybe all night read the scrolls. "That's just exactly what Jehovah is. That's what He is." All right. Go by... You never seen that in my church in all my life. This is all strange to me." She goes back and sets down again.
Next morning they come in: first case, perfectly discerned, second case, perfectly discerned, third case, perfectly discerned. My, her heart got to beating faster. Finally, she got a way to get in the prayer line.
