<TITLE>15. Par 64-68</TITLE>L-64 You know, where God is pouring out His Spirit, they're always looked down upon somehow, as a bunch of know-nothings. Sure they don't know nothing of this world. They lose their own mind, that they might find the mind of Christ. See?
And so there it was certainly bad, evil-spoke-of. I can hear him say, "Child, certainly not. If there was such a thing going on as that kind of a gift, it would be in our church here." You know that still goes on. Sure does. Said, "Why, sure." Said, "It would be right here among us in--in our groups. That's where that would be going on."

L-65 She said, "But Father, it's--it isn't so. And they tell me... So I'd just like to get permission from you, if I could go up there."
"Listen. You are a dignitary. You have a lot of prestige, and you are--you're a noted person. You can't belittle yourself to go amongst a bunch like that."
And so, she said, "But you know, sir, I--I want to go anyhow." You know, there's something about it, when God goes to tugging at your heart, there isn't hardly anything going to keep you away from it. That's right. Sure not.
So begin to tug at her heart, you know, "You must go anyhow."
"Well," she said, "I've heard about it." That's how faith comes. "Let me just go and find out for myself. I'll come back and bring you a reports."
"You shall never have my consent. Why, your old dead grandmother, and great-grandmother, and so forth, as queens before you, they'd turn over out there in their tombs, if they knowed you did anything like that."
I can just imagine her little heart saying, "Well, they might as well get ready to turn over, 'cause I am going." See? So...

L-66 'Cause why? Faith cometh by hearing, hearing the Word. And when God goes to tugging at a heart, there's no way to get rid of it, only go do what it tells you to do. That's the only way to do it. So here she was, tugging at her heart, and going...
He said, "Now, look. Now, you just stay here at your church, and someday maybe great Dagon, or one of our gods here, will move."
She said, "Listen here. I want to tell you something. I have lived my time out in this temple. And all my days you've talked about a god, and I heard my mother say the same thing. And you've got a book of rules here, and you got idols hanging around here, and I haven't seen one thing take place."

L-67 There, that's what I like. And if there is such a thing as a God that can come into you... You all know the form of pagan worship? (I know...I don't want to... I'm watching that clock up there, and I'm going to get wrong on this one.)
So now, a pagan worship, way they do, they bring the idol and set it up. And then they get a priest, and they bless the candle. And they put this candle before the idol, and they bring him something to eat, and eat communion with him. And then they prostrate themselves before that idol, and just give in their mind in such a way, till they believe that they can hear that idol speak back to them. Now, that's pagan idol worship.

L-68 Now, that's contrary to God. See? God is not a idol; God is a Spirit, and we prostrate ourselves before that. And the Spirit don't come into some idol, as some so-called Christians would have us to believe, but the Spirit comes into you. And you are God's house, living...?... walking around, manifesting the living God. For God dwells not in temples made with hands, "but a body hast thou prepared Me."
You are God's letter, a written epistle. God is in you, manifesting Himself through. If you could prostrate yourself before God, and say, "God, I'm a sinner. Come into me," and then the Holy Spirit comes in, and then you're a living idol of God, living representative of God, walking around with God speaking through your lips to others.
