<TITLE>14. Par 57-61</TITLE>L-57 Wished I could had time to tell you something that happened a few days (See?), of what's taking place. Oh, my. "Shall possess the gate of the enemy, your seed after you. Abraham, who blesses you will be blessed, and who curses you will be cursed." Jesus said, "It is better for a millstone to be hanged at your neck and to drown in the depths of the sea."
And these organizations that turns out those godly men, because they've taken a stand for truth, the Word, and the Spirit and power of God and stay with the Word, you see what happens? They're drowned in the sea of forgetfulness. Better that a millstone is hanged at your neck and drowned in the depths of the sea than to even offend the least of these anointed ones. What are they? Abraham's seed staying with the Word of promise.

L-58 Some of our churches are getting to the place they deny--they deny Divine healing; they don't want it in their church any more. That's right. Our Pentecostal organizations don't want no more Divine healing. What is it?
Don't you see how the devil's worked. He's got around there and said some bogus things along like that. And just intellectual men thinking they're spiritual, and look at that, and say, "Look at that one, look at that one." I ain't looking at that.
If you're Abraham's seed, you'll look at the promise of God, what God said to do about it. That's it. Abraham's seed, we look at a promise. I don't care how many falls this way and how many falls that way; the promise remains true. You've got to come through those testings. See? Yes. Abraham first tested and then sealed, then given the promise that his seed should possess the enemy's gate. I like that.

L-59 Then they possessed their enemy's gates after they were tested. The thing of it is, we can't stand the testing. That's the reason that our organizations cannot stand the test. It is not the will of God. It's the... God has blessed it. But it isn't the will of God because (See?), you've got a whole company of men here with whole companies of ideas, and they pool them together and come out with the best they can. Some of them say, "This is a big man, you can't deny his word." Well, that's the same way the Catholic church is organized: same thing, upon a bunch of intellectual believers, intellectuals. They look at it, cope it with the times. You can't do that. Everything else is a lie but God's Word.

L-60 Abraham never looked at one thing but God's promise. Regardless of what was, he stayed with God's promise. Then that's the reason we don't find more... An organization can't possess the gate of the enemy. There's too many fangled minds in there. Got to take an individual that possesses the gate of the enemy. You can do it if you wish to. Yes, sir. Let's try a few for a few minutes, see if they stay in the Scripture.

L-61 Now, there was a time down in Babylon when there was a--an image set up: pretty type of the Catholic church. And all that didn't bow down to that image would be burned in a fiery furnace. Now, it was a showdown whether they was going to stay when God said, "Thou shalt not have any other gods before Me or make any image of anything."... That's what God said.
The showdown come. All the rest of Israel falled right in, and when the trumpets sounded, and the--and the psalteries sounded and the--and the flutes sounded, why they all fell down before this image. But there were three of them that said, "Nothing doing." They heard that still small voice. And they stayed in line with the Word.
What did they do? Stayed with the Word. And after... They--they--they said, "If you don't do it... We'll give you another chance, or we'll throw you in the fiery furnace."
Said, "Our God is able to deliver us from that fiery furnace, but nevertheless we'll stay with the Word."
