<TITLE>06. Par 17-21</TITLE>L-17 Oh, people are very religious: always been. As I preached the other night over there, a revival always produces twins, like Esau and Jacob: a man of the world, and the man that desires the birthright. See? It always... Every revival produces that.
This latter day revival has done the same thing. It's true. So let's get on the Jacob side, the one that's going to inherit, the one that's going into the promised land. And we cannot be satisfied just with going to church and putting our name on the book. If we do, there's something wrong. Let's keep climbing higher and higher, till we reach that promised land.

L-18 Preaching the other day at the Christian Business Men's convention in Phoenix, Arizona, there in a ballroom; I said, "Little could Israel ever think, when they was shouting and dancing in the Spirit, and Miriam with that tambourine after they crossed over the Dead Sea, and seen the taskmakers dead behind them, little did they think they were forty years away from the promised land." They couldn't believe that. They was only about four days away.
But they had to have a... You know, had to go up to Exodus 19 and make their biggest mistake they ever made: had to go up and get a law, so they could fuss and organize, and get theirselves together.
Grace had provided them a prophet. Grace had provided them a lamb. Grace had provided them miracles. Grace had given them the biggest revival they ever had. Grace had provided all these things, and yet they desired a law.
That's exactly where our fathers stood in Pentecost about forty years ago. Grace had provided. They was all in one accord. Every... Pentecost was Pentecost. But they couldn't be satisfied with that. They had to organize them a class called Assemblies of God. No, they had to get them another: Church of God, Foursquare, Oneness, Twoness, Threeness, Fourness. And you've been setting right there for forty years. God have mercy. We need a...

L-19 Well, they stayed there till all them people with that kind of mind died out. Then one day, a Joshua rose up, put his arms around them all, and God said, "You've been on this mountain long enough. Now, let's go north and cross over, take the promise."
God can take Baptists, or Methodists, or whatever he wants to. But somebody's going over. That's right. And as long as we still get our classical ideas and set around that we are... Oh, you'll stay right there. Just exactly. Oh, let's rise. Let's get out of it. My, shake yourselves and realize God's still God. He has to remain... If He ever was God, He's still God. He don't change to our ways. We got to change our ways to His ways. Oh, I didn't even want to say that. I just...

L-20 I--I'll read some Scripture now. All right. Saint John 12:20. I'm going to just read a verse here.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to the feast to worship:
The some come therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,... desiring him, saying, Sirs, we would see Jesus.
Now, turn to Hebrews 13:8.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to day, and forever.
How many believes that solemnly with all your heart? Now, tomorrow night we're going on to the evangelistic services. Tonight we're going to... give it for Divine healing.

L-21 Now, there's one thing to talk about anything, and then there's another thing to make what we've talked about be true. And it's all God's Word, and the only thing it needs is faith to make any Divine promise act. That's right. If God made the promise, then God's obligated to His promise.
Now, I want you just to give me your undivided time for a few minutes. If you'll give me about thirty minutes, and then we'll call the prayer line; and in a few minutes we can go home.
