<TITLE>19. Par 70-72</TITLE>L-70 Pentecost, don't you never get that in your head. Women, "I can bob my hair, I can do this, I can do that." Men, "I can do this, I can go like this... long as I belong... God healed me one time. God give me the Holy Ghost one time. God did this, God did that." That's right. But don't you trespass across that dividing line.
Moses said, "If you go up there, I'm not going with you. And the Amalekites and Canaanites are up there." I'm going to tell you; sin lays beyond the boundaries of God's Word. To disbelieve one iota of It, God will let you set there.
Oh, I... Such a job, such a terrible thing. I love people. Why do I have to do this?
Join... Just go on like the rest of them. "Just as long as I belong to church, what difference does it make?" It does make a difference.
The old prophet told Israel the same thing. He said, "Did I ever tell you anything in the Name of the Lord but what come to pass?"
They said, "No. All you said, Samuel, it all come to pass."
Said, "Did I ever go out and take up offerings among you to build big buildings," and so on...?...
"No, you never did do that, Samuel."
"Well," said, "then listen to me. You don't want to act like the rest of the nations. God is your King."

L-71 And I'm saying today, Pentecost, don't try to act like the rest of the churches. God is your Father. The Word is your stay. Have I ever told you anything but what come to pass? Have I ever took your money, and begged you for big programs, and all kinds of things? Tell me one time I ever took an offering. See? Tell me one thing that ever was said in the Name of the Lord but what come to pass.
Now, listen. Stay with the Word, for the Message of the last day has to... The messenger and the Message has to be according to the end time, "restoring the faith of the children back to the faith of the fathers."
Didn't Jude say over there they've already... Said earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints? Just ninety-six years they'd--AD ninety-six, I believe it was--they'd had already gotten away from it. Did not they come in and begin become a thought, then a doctrine, and then it become a issue of the Nicolaitanes?

L-72 The word "nico" means "to conquer, conquer the lady--laity", instead of the way you all been doing up here--let the Holy Spirit move amongst the people, there's one holy man. Holy man, there's no such a thing. It's the Holy Ghost in the church. "Nico," conquer the laity. And it become a doctrine.
What did the first thing they do? Made an organization. In there they put... And for hundreds of hundreds of years it was a persecution that all that wouldn't bow to that was pulled asunder, burnt, persecuted. Then along come Luther. That tree started to growing. When it did, they organized it. God cut the branch off, and it withered and died. Like Jesus said, He pruned it.
Up come the Wesley, another branch coming out on it. What did they do? Organize. God pruned it and cut it off. Along come the third Message. Just exactly the way the church begin, that Bride Tree at the beginning, it started out.
Who come first? John, preaching justification, repentance. Who come next? Jesus Christ. "Sanctify them, Father, through the truth, thy Word," which was Himself... is the truth, sanctification. What was the next? The baptism of the Holy Ghost. "I send the promise of My Father upon you," and the Bride Tree started growing.
