<TITLE>10. Par 63-70</TITLE>L-63 God's first nod to one of those prophets, nothing could stop them. He didn't have to do like He does to me sometime, pound it over and over, and perhaps you (I hope not.), but keep telling me, "Go do this," and then you'll stumble along, "Then go do this," and "Go back and do it again; you didn't do it right." Just one little nod, just they could just feel the Spirit tell them, "It's the thing to do," and nothing's going to stop them. Brother, they--they--they stopped the mouth of lions; they escaped the edge of the sword; they quenched fire; they done everything at just a little nod from God, because they held the key in their hand, that great faith. They done things for God because nothing will stop them. Oh, how glorious.

L-64 Like the young man one time came up to a--an old brother that was a godly old man, an old prophet of God. And he heard that man constantly testify, constantly telling about the goodness of God, and how that God was, and what Christ was, and just going ahead, speaking. Finally, this young man was going to be ordained in the ministry, so he came up to this certain old sage, and he said to him, "Sir, I want to ask you a question."
He said, "Ask on, young man."
He said, "Does Christ literally mean as much to you as you say It does?"
He said, "He means more to me than what I could ever have breath to speak." There you are. What was it? He had found the key.
That young man said, upon that, "If you claim these things, and you say to me that they're as real as you, then I want to know that same Jesus in the same reality." What was it? He knowed the old man had ahold of the key, that he could unlock and could lock up.

L-68 You know, a key that locks, unlocks too. See? You can loosen or bind. That's right. The same key that locks, unlocks. The key that unlocks can lock up. And that's exactly (See?), because it works both ways. How pitiful it is that the church has ever lost its vision of that. What a sad thing it was when the church sold itself out to creeds, as we've done today, and now call to unite.
We seen where the great Roman hierarchy and them are going to meet now; they're going to change some programs. I thought they didn't change; but they're going to anyhow, give each priest the power of a pope, and--and wherever he's at, and so forth. How pitiful, that the church ever sold out to dogmas instead of the Word. See? That's where they left the key right there. That's the reason the great miracles and signs are not done amongst the people today, that there used to be; they have lost the key. Yeah, they know the Door, they know the Door's there, but the next thing is the key to open the Door. The treasures is behind the Door. They're locked up, out of sight from the unbeliever. But the believer, who has faith and can take the key of faith, can unlock these Doors. Yes, sir.

L-70 One time here a few years ago, there's a missionary brother, and he felt he had a call to Africa. He was a young fellow; a wife and two children, very pretty, the young girls, about seven or eight years old, apiece. And this young fellow couldn't get away from it. He was a--a minister, he had a nice church in the country. But he just couldn't get away from that call; he must go to Africa. And he prayed day and night. He didn't want to go. And God kept speaking to him, "You must go." And finally he come to a place till he, a showdown, where, he--he must go.
