<TITLE>11. Par 40-44</TITLE>L-40 I asked a woman one time was she a Christian. She said, "I'll give you to understand I burn a candle every night," like that had anything to do with anything that's Christianity.
I heard a man say, said, "I'm an American. Sure I am." That's no more to do with it than a hog needs a sidesaddle; that's no, no more to do with it than put a sidesaddle on a hog. Why? America don't mean Christianity. Christianity is a borned again experience, the baptism of the Holy Ghost it'll...?... for fellowship and love and tolerance. And the Holy Spirit takes over the church, and does great things. Oh, sure. Yes, sir.
I thought I felt something moving me around. I didn't know what it was. I wasn't sure I wasn't gone up already... said, "Somebody's moving the box around now. Thought, "Here I go...?..." Yes, sir.

L-41 Possess the promises. The promise is unto you and your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Christians, brother, sisters, we've been on this land long enough. We've been around here on this mountain. We've been on this denominational mountain too long now.
We've been out here forty years using this for evidence, speaking in tongues. Oh, my! When there's powers that's unknown, when the resources is untapped: "Whatever you ask in My name, that I'll do. Ask the Father anything in My name and I'll do it." Amen. Just divine healing and speaking in tongues, well, that's, that's just a few grapes that was brought back from across the land. The land is ours! It all belongs to us. Don't be afraid that the other fellow's going to beat you over there. Just join up with him and go on over. That's the way to do it. And we've been on this mountain for forty years. Let's get off of it, and go towards the promised land.

L-42 My prayer is that God will help these Businessmen to keep their hearts as one. That's right. And if the ministers won't do it, God will raise up businessmen to do it, or something else, to get them together... Because the church cannot go with an arm in one place, and a head another, and a foot another. He's got to have a prophesying and a noise of coming together (That's all I can tell you), till the whole body of the Lord Jesus Christ stands up as one great unit of God, then we'll leave this mountain, and go over and possess the promised land. Until then, I'm your brother, and I'm only fighting for that one purpose: to unite the church of the living God together, as one heart and one accord. God bless you. Brother Shakarian...

L-43 [Remaining portion of tape may be part of another service. It starts with another brother's comments--Ed.]
Think that maybe in our worship, as sincere as we are, yet sometimes we fail to see the real power of God as great as it is among us. Now, when this vision came, which... Many of you--perhaps all here has been in the meetings, and see visions to see what takes place. And the reason I made that remark, to say here this morning, is just... If you could just know the Presence of the Lord. They've taken a picture of it many times, that Light. That--that is God, because it brings forth the same nature.

L-44 Just like if a--if a--if a tree... I was here in Arizona some time ago and found a citrus fruit tree that I think had several different kinds of--of fruit on it. Maybe it was an orange tree, and had, maybe, say, a lemon and grapefruit growing on it. It'll--it'll grow in that tree. But Jesus said in Saint John 5--15, I believe, "I'm the Vine, ye are the branches." Well, now, if that branch brought forth... or this--this Vine brought forth its first branch, and they wrote a book of Acts behind that--that--that branch, if that true vine brings forth another branch, it'll write another book of Acts behind it. See, because now, there's a grafted... You can graft these other citrus fruit, and it'll live of the life of that tree.
