<TITLE>24. Par 113-118</TITLE>L-113 Now, friends, a prayer line... Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse my exciting, chopped-up manners at the pulpit. I--I pray you do it. But I've just come through studying the Pre-Nicene Council. And I've took the Hislop's "Two Babylons," and Broadbent's "Pilgrim Church," the Pre-Nicene Council, the Nicene Council, and the post-Nicene Council, Nicene Fathers, seeing how the Holy Spirit moved them. They didn't even have an altar in their church. They didn't have no nothing like crucifix.
A Roman Catholic went on with dogma, with crucifix, but the real orthodox stayed clear, had little buildings with nothing but just slabs. And they'd... Some godly man would explain the Word of God, and the power of God would fall. They'd just raise their hands and praise God. They'd speak with tongues, and signs and wonders would follow them. Yes, sir.

L-114 Polycarp, Ignatius, Martin, Irenaeus, Columba (oh, my), Justin, how many more of real godly ones that wouldn't tolerate that other church at all, the Roman side of it. They stayed catholic. We're catholic too, apostolic catholic. Now, "catholic" means universal. But the Roman Catholic took into crucifix and dogmas, and so forth, like that; and said (not the Bible), they... "God was in His church." God is in His Word.
The Bible said, "If any man shall take away or add anything to It, the same will be taken, his part out of the Book of life." We believe just what God said, and that's all. Now. So we still believe that message.

L-115 Now, there's sick people here tonight. I've preached to you that God confirms His commission. That's right. God watches over His Word to confirm it. The only thing He's trying to do is to find a heart that He can get into.
Now, don't think you're going to overdo it. You won't. Could you imagine a--a little fish about a half inch long out in the middle of the ocean out there, saying, "I better drink sparingly of this water. I might run out." Certainly not. Well, you could never exhaust God's power and God's goodness. Exactly. You sure couldn't. So just open it.

L-116 You say, "Well, I received the Holy Ghost." Oh, there's just--just... The--the whole heavens is full of it. See? God's just trying like a... If it was all the whole heavens was a great big standpipe, and you had one little crack, He's trying to pile... That water will try to force itself out. That's the way the Holy Spirit's trying to force Itself into you, like that, like that, trying to get you to believe it. I know that's the truth.

L-117 Now, I believe that... Did they give--did he give out prayer cards? I was praying. I believe he did. All right. How... Where's he at? What? Excuse me. 1 to 50. All right. We can't stand them all at once, so let's stand maybe... Why, that's all right. Just stand still, just move, maybe this little row here move back, so they can move a little. There's a glass of water, I believe, setting there...?...

L-118 All right. Let's have number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Let them stand. Number 1, who has it? Prayer card number 1? It's just a prayer card with a number on it. Number 1, 2, 3, 4, like that. Number 1 prayer card, who has it? There's surely something wrong. Speak it in Spanish. What's number 1 in Spanish? Uno, uno. Who has it? Number 1? What say? All right, right here.
Number 2, who has it? Number 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... 1, 2, 3. Just stand right here. We'll form a line. Huh? Yeah. That's all right. All right. That's all right. All right. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Let them come. Come right around this side, if you will. If you can't get up now, raise your hand. We'll see that you get here. We'll see... Somebody will pack you up here. See? 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Let them come, from 1 to 20 now, line yourself up over here. All right, that's right.
