<TITLE>20. Par 128-135</TITLE>L-128 I see people getting in the flesh, and shouting, and carrying on, and going out and living all kinds of lives. There's got to be a genuine Holy Spirit there somewhere. I see people acting religious, and so forth, and trying to be pious. I know there's a genuine God somewhere. There's a genuine Spirit somewhere, 'cause that's an old hypocrite that's made off of it, an old bogus one. There's got to be something that's real, a man, a people, a church, a God. There's got to be something true somewhere, 'cause these was just copied off of it. There's something real somewhere.
I've said to this church about your gifts: Listen to your gifts; keep them in the Bible. Don't take a substitute when the skies are full of the real ones. Let's keep the real ones. Let's get the real or don't have any at all. Amen.

L-130 Now, the close is a fact, that God deals with Israel only when she's in her homeland. Let's take... When God--Abraham left the homeland and went down into Egypt, what happened? He walked away from the will of God and never was blessed till he returned back to the homeland. God never dealt with him, not one vision, not nothing else till he come back to the homeland.
Look at Israel when they were sent down in Egypt, four hundred years, not one miracle, not one sign, not one thing happened among them, not recorded in the history of the Book: same old nine and nine: Go to church, offer the lamb, say a "Hail Mary," or whatever it was, go back. Next year, same way. The priests all argued. "Rabbi So-and-so... We'll elect Rabbi So-and-so; he's got a better scholarship; he knows more about the Egyptians." The first thing you know, the Egyptians and--and all of them was the same thing.

L-132 That's the same thing's happened to the church. We've all went to be Methodists, or Baptists, or Presbyterian, and, "We're got a degree out of Hartford"; "We got a degree out of Wheaton"; "We got a degree out of somewhere else, or Bob Jones"; "We--we got a Bachelor of Art"; "We got a D.D., LL.D.," or something other. What is it amounted to? A bunch of nonsense. It's the way it was in Egypt.

L-133 And God never did deal with Israel till she come to her homeland. Hear me. THUS SAITH THE LORD, God will not deal with His Church till She comes back to the Homeland, the Message of the hour. Come back to the original. Get away from your Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian ideas, your Pentecostal, Assemblies, oneness, threeness, and fiveness, whatever it is, Church of God, Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, Church of Christ: all antichrist movements. And I realize this strikes the world. All wrong, all of the devil... There's godly men in every one of them, godly people in every one of them movements, but the organization in itself is not of God, and God will never bless it. He never has done it.

L-134 And I ask any historian who will hear this tape to write in and tell me whenever the church organized that God didn't lay it on the shelf and never dealt with it no more. Tell me when He ever raised up the Lutheran again, Wesley, Methodist, or Pentecostal. Never did. That organization laid there and cankered and rottened. God took individuals and tried to point the people back to the homeland. And men, the individual's so weak and sissified with some kind of a degree until they organized another organization, made it a twofold child more of hell than it was to begin with.

L-135 But somewhere, surely, Jehovah has a man that He can put His hands on, who will not compromise with them godly--ungodly organizations, who will swing the people back to the Rock, Christ Jesus, back to the original Pentecost and the original Holy Ghost, with the original signs and original wonders. Surely, He's got one somewhere who will not break down under any kind of a persecution, run out, canceled out, fall out, anything else, that will stay with it.
