<TITLE>15. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 Now, if you've done things wrong, if you've got off the old beaten road and got over onto the worldly side, you haven't lost your covenant, sister, brother. You haven't lost the covenant; you've just lost the--the blessings of the covenant. Come back; get out of Egypt. Come back up here in the promised land. Come in where God said that you should abide. "If ye abide in Me (Saint John 15), and My words abide in you, you can ask what you will, and it shall be given unto you." But stay in there. "If ye abide in Me and My Word abides in you..." How many knows that's true? It's the promise of God.
"If ye abide in Me..." That means stay there. Don't be running over Egypt and running after the things of the world. "If ye abide in Me, My words abide in you, you can ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you." That's His promise. If you're Abraham's seed, then stay in that promise. If you're out of it, come back to it. You'll get in trouble down there in Egypt. Come on back into the promised land.

The denomination is all right if you'd write it like this: "We believe in this, comma." But when you write up an organization, "We believe this, period. You come to this or you don't come at all."
If you read it, "I believe this, comma, plus what God will show me," then it's all right. That's right. "If I'll believe... We have... We believe this, plus whatever we can find out of God that's better." See, but you end it, "We believe this."

L-48 What happened to Luther as soon as Luther saw the Pillar of Fire? Why, he followed It. But what did he do? After Luther's day, they organized a church called Lutheran. Then it died right there on the organization, 'cause it's just like the Catholic church.
Then, the first thing you know, along come Wesley. The Pillar of Fire moved right out of the organization and went on. Wesley saw it, and away he went after it. And as soon as the first round died out, they organized it, called it the Wesleyan Methodist, or the--the Methodist church. When they organized it, it died right there.
Then the Pentecostal seen it, going out, not from justification, under Luther, and sanctification under Wesley, but they saw the baptism of the Holy Ghost, back to the original blessing. Here they went after it (Oh, my.), went out and begin to speak with tongues and the power of God working through them. But what did they do? Organized it. It died right there. But now the Pillar of Fire is moving out. It's moving again. It'll never...
