<TITLE>20. Par 94-98</TITLE>L-94 Now, what's He doing? That's got to be honed out so perfect, that church brought into such a place, that the Stone that's coming to fit on top of it... See what I mean? That pictures the church. And through it all is the church. Now, that's--that's just--that's making a--a parable, I'm talking about. Don't try to go into it.
Then, the next Bible, the real Bible, is This. This is our Word. Just them signs and things they had back there...
But notice, how perfect that stone. It was rejected. They never did put it on. Why? And if you go there, them stones up in that pyramid that weighs thousands of tons, that is so closely fit together you can't put a razor blade--and no mortar in it--so perfectly honed together. Then if that had to be like that to make each age fit together, then what's it going to be when the coming...

L-95 Don't you see the church shaping up? Luther, justification; Wesley, sanctification; then come the Holy Ghost. And now, church getting honed and fixed, then without spot or wrinkle, so Him that had no spot or wrinkle can come down and--and connect it together for the resurrection, for the church of the living God to take its flight into the glory. yes. See? Yes. Now, we're living in that day.

L-96 Now, John was looking for that to come. He said, "I'll know Him. He's out there, I don't know where He is. He's standing out there." Maybe some bishop walked up and said, "You know, I've been having a peculiar feeling going over me for a while. You know, maybe I'm the Messiah." He said, "Get away." Said John, "That's not Him." All right.
Here come another one along, said, "You know what? I've got the highest degree. I'm Caiaphas, the high priest. If there'd be anybody anointed for the Messiah, a man, it would be me."
"No, no, no; no, that's not Him." But John said, "He that told me in the wilderness to go baptize with water said upon Whom I shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on, He's the One that'll baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire."

L-97 And remember, John saw it and nobody else saw it. It was a sign given to John to see it. And he saw it, and John was sure. And the reason he could announce, "That is the Messiah..."
"How can you be sure?"
"I'm following the Word of God."
How can I be sure this man is a believer? I'm following the Word of God. God said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Not because he's got a Bachelor of Art, because he's a Ph.D., or LL.D., or bishop, priest, cardinal, or pope. See? That has nothing to do with it. That's man-made traditions. Hallelujah.

L-98 The Bible said, "These signs shall follow them that believe: In My Name they shall cast out devils (can't even deny it. See?), speak with new tongues; take up serpents or drink deadly things; lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." Jesus said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also."
What kind of works did He do? There you are. Did He organize a school? Send His disciples away for schooling? Did He teach Peter an education? He couldn't even write his own name. The Bible said him and John was not only unlearned but they were ignorant, ignorant and unlearned; but they had something to offer the man. Silver and gold, they wasn't interested in it, no education. "But what I have, I'll give you. In the Name of Jesus Christ rise up and walk." Hallelujah. That was their credentials. That's what they needed. They was following the Word of God. Then they saw the miracle of God, when they followed the Word of God.
Paul setting preaching one time, he'd seen a man had faith. He said, "I perceive you have faith to be healed. Stand up." That was it. Yes, sir. It was... What was he? You want to see a miracle of God? Follow the Word of God.
