<TITLE>20. Par 75-78</TITLE>L-75 Now, there's what we want, friends. That's what we want to see this week, don't we? We want to see that Christ walk right down here, not come to you and say, "Oh, dear pastor, dear brethren, my pastor brethren, I'm introducing to you another organization that'll outshine the Assemblies of God, or the Church of God, or all this, that, or the other. Well, someday we'll outgrow the Catholic." Now, nonsense to that. Which, it might be all right, but we're too late for such stuff as that. How can we preach the coming of Christ at hand and act the way the church is acting today? Millions of dollars in buildings, and everything else, and act--saying Christ is coming, why, our own action condemns what we're talking about. Now, that's true.
I don't mean to be rough, friends, but let's lay it down here. Let--let's look at it. That's the reason. We've got to get back to this Word. We got to get back to the God of the Word, and the Word is God. See?

L-76 Now, Jesus had been put through the test and trial, and, "Every son that cometh to God must be chastened and tried." If he cannot stand chastisement, he becomes a bastard child, and not the child of God, the son of God. That's right.
Now, look laying here in--in our... Look laying here at the sick and the afflicted. I don't say that pastors do now, that may be the people.
And they say, "Well, maybe, have they sinned?" That I don't know. That's up to God.
But one time there was a man, he said, "Who sinned? Him, or his father or mother?"
Said, "Neither, but that the works of God might be manifested."

L-77 Wouldn't it be nice to see every one of these cots and wheelchairs emptied up here in the next two or three nights? Wouldn't that be glorious? Then the manifestation of God would be here. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see the Spirit of God move in among here and break a revival among, till it'd just be one constantly weeping all day and night, and the meeting wouldn't even close, just go all night and all day. People wouldn't even want, or even get hungry, just stay here, just feasting on the goodness of God.
The newspapers would be writing it up everywhere, like that, and people coming from the World's Fair to see what kind of a fair God was putting on (That's right.), coming from Seattle to Spokane. It can happen. Let God move in among us.

L-78 Now, we find God (I got to close now, in this.), God standing there... And watch, He took His own Son up, after... Remember, He went straight to Calvary from there. He took His own Son up there. And what did He do? He showed Him in His coming. He was glorifying Him. There He was standing there, and "His raiment shined like the sun." In other words, God said, "I have been Your Father through the age. But now, the only way to approach Me from this on, is through Him. This is My beloved Son." See what He's doing? The adoption, the placing. See? "This is My beloved Son. Hear ye Him."
Now, Peter, he got excited when he seen the supernatural. That's what's the trouble today. They see the supernatural, and they all get excited. That's what started off the very first thing, when the Pentecostal blessing begin to fall on the Pentecostal people years ago... I guess I wasn't even born then, but I've read their books. And the Holy Ghost fell upon them, and God begin to restore the gifts of speaking in tongues back to the church. Then all got excited. And one said, "He's coming on a white horse." "Coming on a white cloud." "Well, we'll just make our own organization."
