<TITLE>18. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 I stood in a holiness church not long ago where a choir stood back there; I wanted to say something so bad. They didn't know I was setting down in the pastor's study. And here come that choir up there, and David duPlessis, taking up an offering for foreign missions. And if them boys with great big robes on and things, walked out there with them girls, carrying on, and telling jokes, And one started and said, "Now, here I'm blind; I'm in a foreign mission. Let me tell you, you put something in for me," and up and down like that. And walked out there and tried to with an over trained voice, trying to squeak and holler, like they were trying to sing. You could tell they wasn't singing in the Shekinah Glory.
I do hate an over trained voice: stand up there, hold their breath like they're get blue in the face. That's not singing. But if anything, I like the good old free Pentecostal borned again...?... singing in the Spirit. It shows they haven't got it. They're leaving that Shekinah Glory. That's the only place you can ever--that'll make Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Catholics, Oneness, Twoness, Threeness, and all together, come in the Shekinah Glory. That's the only place of real fellowship. A man and woman that's ever walked in behind there, there's no difference in any person then. They're all brothers in there, because they--they don't--they only know one thing, that's the Blood. And they know they are brothers. Amen. Whew. I wish I was twice my size now; maybe I could enjoy twice as good.

L-53 Yes, fellowship, fellowship under the Blood, God's only remedy... Denominations will separate us; education will separate us; science will separate us. But the Blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse us from sin. We have fellowship one with another while we walk in the Light as He is the Light, the Light of the Shekinah Glory. Amen.
Like a man getting married... When he gets married... You live in a three room house. You know that? Oh, you say, "I beg your pardon, I got ten." No, you haven't. You only live in a three room house. That's your... You may have three or four bedrooms, and three or four pantries, and things like that, but you actually live in a three room house. That is the kitchen, the living room, and the bedroom. That's right. You live in a three room house. God lived in a three room house: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You live in a three room house: soul, body, and spirit.

L-54 Now, you live in a house of a kitchen, a--a living room, and a bedroom. What is it the first thing when you talk to your little wife? That's the kitchen part, fellowshipping. Like the man who comes into the church, he sets back; he just has a little fellowship with one another when he comes in to listen to the Word: "Faith cometh by hearing." Then the next thing, in the other room, is the engagement room. Well, a lot of people think as long as they get into the kitchen, that's all they have to. No, you're just feeding then (See?), you're just getting fed. Then the next room is the engagement room, where you make love to your wife in the parlor. But now wait, that's as far as some people go. But remember, into the next room is where not only fellowship, but relationship comes.
And that's what's the matter with the church today; they got a shame face, if you can catch my parable; they don't want that relationship with God. They'd rather have some stole, cold, formal, starchy, organization, say, "I'm Presbyterian." "I'm Methodist." "I'm Baptist." "I'm Pentecostal." Then to really come down to that relationship with God to go out and bear forth children crying, "Abba Father." They're ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul said, "I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for it's the power of God unto salvation to them that believe."
We'll never educate them in. We'll never denominate them in. We'll never scientifically take them in. They've got to be borned in. That's right.
