<TITLE>11. Par -</TITLE>L-757-64 I believe that the Lord has used me in little special things to help maybe lay a foundation for a prophet that will come. But a prophet doesn't operate the way I operate, now, you know that. A prophet isn't an evangelist, and an evangelist isn't a prophet. A pastor isn't a evangelist, and a evangelist isn't a pastor. But God has set in the church, first apostles, then prophets, then teachers, then pastors and so forth. God set them in the church and God gave them an office.
But the morning when I laid that cornerstone, because... Now, if you're spiritual you get it. Because of the cry of the people... If you could break that out or take the book and read it, it said, "Do the work of an evangelist." Didn't call me to be an evangelist, but said, "Do the work of an evangelist, for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but for--heap themselves together teachers, having itching ears and shall turn from truth to fables." See? Quoted that Scripture and told me where to find It, said It three times. And I got the Bible and turned to where He told me, and there It was. And then you know about the two buckets of the Pentecostal Oneness and the Pentecostal Assemblies, I never crossed them. I planted their own trees right where they was, 'cause I think they're both wrong. But out of it, I was at the cross, at the harvest.

L-757-66 God respects anybody who's sincere. Peter said that: he perceived that God was no respect of persons. All nations calling when--on--at the house of Cornelius when they received the Holy Ghost like they did at the beginning. See? God is no respect of persons. We see a person deeply in sincerity be sincerely wrong, but if he is sincerely, God will lead him to the Light somewhere. He'll come to It, 'cause God's obligated to do that.
And we think about the coming of the Lord being such a--a great thing, and the Message no more than It's went, remember, there's a predestinated group to be here when the Lord returns, and it might not be over a dozen. See? We don't know; it might be a hundred million, might be ten thousand. But if the predestinated will hear the Message and believe It, if It's the Message sent of God, which we believe It to be.

L-758-68 Now, here we are then, right up here to the end of the time when... If God did call me (Now listen, this is not to be repeated.), if He did call me to be His prophet, then I'm certainly not holding the office of one. Prophets don't evangelize. A prophet hides himself in the wilderness alone with God, until he gets exactly directly what God wants him do, and he stomps right out and gives his Message, and back into the wilderness he goes again. He's not an evangelist, holding meetings and getting cooperations and all these things like evangelists do. He don't teach like evangelists. He has THUS SAITH THE LORD, and that's it, and that's all. He gives it, throws it out, and lets the chips fall where it will, and then away he goes again. Nobody knows where he's at, and he's in isolation somewhere.
