<TITLE>09. Par 33-36</TITLE>L-33 Build up pressure: what makes them do it? Because they left Him. They left His Word. They accepted creeds and all these things, dogmas and got away from the Word. The Word of the Lord is a... Name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe.
The thing of it is, we don't try to run into the Name of the Lord, but we try to run into the name of the church. And that's the reason we're sweating it out, but--and building up pressure all the time, because we're... New denomination, new something, and we take off for it. And the first thing you know, we're all built up, and don't know where we're standing.
But "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe." It's the place of refuge. You don't join into it; you're borned into it. You don't pack a letter into it; you're initiated by the Holy Spirit, for you're circumcised from the things of the world, and they are dead, behind you. And you are risen with Him in His resurrection as new creatures in Christ Jesus. They left the Word.

L-34 When you're just having joining a church, well, of course, you can build up a pressure. But when you have been born into the Kingdom of God, the pressure is gone. You see? Oh, yes. His Name is a tower, a great mighty tower of refuge. Such a tower that when we come into it, He gives us this assurance: "Ask the Father anything in this great Name of the tower, it'll be given to you." Watch it. Come into it. Be borned into it. Then ask the Father anything you want to in that Name, and watch Him honor it.
What a consolation it is in this hour, that when the peoples of the world, church members, running from place to place trying to find a refuge... And they say... Well, this one will say, "Well, you have to recite our creed"; this one say, "You have to join our church."
But for that believer who comes into Christ calmly, and receives the Holy Ghost, and watch the very promise of God be made manifest among them; they don't have to run from here to there. They can just let off the steam. That's right. Set down; it's all over, got it made then. Let off the pressure, because you don't have to go running from church to church any more because you are in it.

L-35 The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower, when the righteous run into it, are safe. What kind of a tower? It's a tower of refuge, where we can go in there. And that... the Word... The Lord is the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us."
Again, "If ye abide in Me (the tower), My words abide in you..." Now, that's when you're on the inside. Not when you're out there looking in; but when you're in here looking out. See? When... "If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, you can ask what you will, and it'll be done for you."

L-36 Now, if you don't believe that's the Truth, come in one time and find out. Come in and be satisfied with what the Holy Spirit does. Don't find fault with It, wanting to get back out again. Just come in and abide with Him.
The Name of the Lord... The Bible said, "And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the Name of the Lord." That's right. And the Bible said, "There's not another tower under heaven whereby you must be saved," not another tower, name, not another refuge, or churches, or organizations, or societies. They're all all right. I have nothing against them. They do a great work. But when it comes to salvation, there's not another Name under heaven given but this great Name of Jesus Christ.
That don't mean just call it; that means come into it, be in it. We're baptized into it by one Spirit. I Corinthians 12, "We're all baptized into one body," which is Christ Jesus. Amen. I like it. It's a great--been a great thing to me.
Then, while we're in this great tower, the fellowship we have... Isn't it wonderful to have fellowship with Christ? What more could we ask for?
