<TITLE>04. Par 32-38</TITLE>L-32 Now, pastor, and me going away, being your assistant with you here in the work of the Lord, and as Paul would say, "I charge you before God and the elect Angels..." You see. And to this church here, there is a perfect example on what to do if somebody gets out of order in the church. See?
Now, if there comes something up in the church that's not right, then let the individual, who knows that it's not right, go to the person. And if the person will not be reconciled; then the next thing to do is take a witness and go, or maybe one or two witnesses, and go to this person to get them reconciled or get the thing straightened out. Now, listen close. Now, this is being taped also. And then if that don't work...

L-34 Don't never let a little ism, or a little something another, a little bad feeling ever rise up among you. Get it out of the way right now. So that's your little... It's the little fox that spoils the grapes, you know. So keep it out of the way. Any little funny feeling, go and tell the person to it. Say, "I'm--I'm wrong. I--I don't feel right towards you, or something. Help me to pray over it, that I'll get better." Because we don't want nothing but just purely unadulterated, Holy Spirit of God among us. That's all we want. Then with the gifts and things will work right and everything will be coming right.

L-35 Why have a half a church when you can have a whole one? Why accept a substitute when the whole skies are full of the genuine? See? We don't want that. So if a little funny feeling ever comes up among with you members, one to the other, you go to that person.
You say, "Well, they did me..."
Then, just remember, not if you have error or fault against a brother, but if a brother has something against you... See? Go to him and be reconciled; tell him that you--that you've had a strange feeling about him and you want to make friends, and pray, and go down at the altar, and get the thing out of the midst of you.

L-37 Now, Satan will constantly punch at you until you're finished on earth. Just remember that. You'll never have a time but what there's a punching going on all the time, 'cause you're in a battle. Did you ask to come to Christ to come to a picnic? Well, you're sure going to be surprised, because it's a constant battle. I've been on the field for thirty-one years, and I've fought every inch of the way. That's right. Israel had to fight every inch of the way. They--they... Palestine was given to them, but they had to fight every inch of the way to get it.

L-38 Now, remember this now, that if... Then if there's something comes up in the church, then let the pastor... And if you--if you have to come get the pastor to take them to the person... Then if they won't hear that, then come up before the church and tell it before the church. Give them so much time to be reconciled, maybe from one Sunday to the next. And if they will not hear the church, then the Bible said, "Let them be as a heathen and a Publican."
That... See, as long as they are protected by the church, Satan cannot get to them. But when the church looses them from under the protection of the church and the Blood of Christ, then Satan will go to work on them. That'll bring them right into reconciliation again. See? You--you understand that, don't you, pastor? Yes, sir.
