<TITLE>21. Par 71-73</TITLE>L-71 Now... But we have two professing it. One said, "Well, we're the church." The other one said, "We're the church." All right. The wise and foolish, both are invited. But did you notice, they both had vessels? That's right. They both was virgins: believers. They both had vessels. But Satan is more than a match for us. We know that. We know that Satan is way more than a match for any human being. Don't you never try to do it with your wisdom, outsmart him. You just can't do it.
Jesus knew this, so He sent to the church, that so Satan would not outsmart them, a place to be fortified. He sent them the Holy Ghost. And the church does not claim to be smart; they just claim to believe. The preachers can't go out and show you their Ph., double L., Q.U., S.T.D., and all these other things. They don't have no great big inauguration times when they're ordained into some ministerial association.
You know I used to sing a little song.
 These people may not learned to be,
 Or boast of worldly fame,
 They have all received their Pentecost,
 Baptized in Jesus' Name;
 And they're telling now, both far and wide,
 His power is yet the same,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.

L-72 Yes, sir. Yes, they don't have these big things. They don't claim to know anything. They just claim to believe something. Jesus sent the Holy Ghost which is Himself. He said, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet ye shall see me for I will be in you, be with you, even in you, to the end of the world."
Now, now, now, watch. Jesus knew it so He sent the Holy Ghost to confirm the Word (Whew. Did you get it? See?), to confirm to those who have taken their refuge behind the Word that He is in the Word. Let them out there... They'll laugh at the system. They say they're crazy. But Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, which is Himself, to get it to those that's behind the Word like Abraham's group, to confirm the Word before them to show that He's still the Word (See?), that you've taken the right place. All right.

L-73 Fire is the confirmation of the Light coming from the Word. They will fill... The smart virgin, the wise virgin, had oil in her lamp, and she trimmed her lamp and lit it. Now, what is it? Now, the--God is the Word; the Oil is the Spirit; and the Fire is the Gospel Light on that Oil. Amen. God said so. See? That's the vessel. All right. The Oil is in the vessel, and the Fire burning it, shows that it's reflecting the Light of what the Word said. See? That's the reflection. Now, that wise virgin could do that; but that other, foolish virgin, was on the outside, had no Oil. And they couldn't reflect nothing but just their church and their denomination. See?
Now, "You say the Word... You said the Word was--was Spirit?" Yes, sir. God said, "My word is Spirit." That's right.
The true Bride must be unified by the Word. Now, remember, if she is a part of Christ, she has to be the Word of Christ. In order to be the Word of Christ, you have to be baptized into Christ. And when you're in Christ, you believe Christ and Christ is the Word.
 Amen. Amen. Amen.
 Do you believe it? Amen.
 Do you love Him? Amen.
 Will you serve Him?
 Amen. Amen, Amen.
 He's the Light of the world. Amen.
 He's the joy of our hearts. Amen.
 He's the power of our life.
 Amen. Amen, Amen.
