<TITLE>17. Par 124-130</TITLE>L-124 Yes, you'd have to receive the kind of Life that He had in order to live His Life. And when you see His Life, then you will know His Word. That's right. "When He," personal pronoun, not a thought, not an imagination, not a sensation, but "when He the Holy Ghost is come, He will take these things that I've told you, and reveal them to you, and will show you things that is to come." That's the birth. That's the vindication that It is Word. And when a man says he's got the Holy Ghost, and deny the Word of God and place It somewhere else, how can the Holy Ghost deny His Own Word? Now, show me an organization in the Word. There you are. See? All right.

L-125 Could you think of a businessman... Now, here's how far our church is behind. Could you think of a businessman that started up a business down here a... It's really a thriving business, and he's got to get some help right quick, and he'd go to a bunch of dead men, corpses, and saying, "Would you come work for me?" They'd be no benefit to him.
That's the reason the organization never rises again. See? A bunch of dead unbelief congregating themselves together like Nimrod, like Korah, like down through the age. How can... He never did use it, never did use a organization. He can't do it. It's already out of the will of God; it's passed beyond that. It's out of reach; it's out of search.

L-127 How could you go to a man that couldn't move, paralyzed head, hand, and foot, tell him you want to run a foot race for you, run this race with patience, lay aside... See? How could he do it when the man can't move; he's paralyzed? You've got to get the paralytic off of him first, then he can run.
That's what the organization needs is a Divine healing. Oh, my. I hope I don't find--sound critical. See? I'm not criticizing it, but if a nail isn't clinched it pulls out easy. See? That's why the Holy Spirit can't use a denomination. As soon as it...

L-129 Remember, I believe that Martin Luther had the Holy Spirit. Absolutely. Maybe not in the portion It is today, 'cause It wasn't given out. We've been through this, you people of the Tabernacle, here on the blackboard. But he did believe to God, "and he that believeth has Everlasting Life." I never thought there was a person believed that like me till this morning, I heard Charles Fuller as I was going down. He believes too, that the new birth is not the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The new birth is being born. The Holy Ghost is the baptism. See? Uh-huh. All right.

L-130 Now, we find that this man has got to be borned again in order to be active. All right. To be born of the flesh, then you have wisdom of the world. And wisdom of the world obeys its fleshly teacher. Right. That's exactly why a man that don't have the new birth, and tell them the Word of God, they'll obey their bishop, their presbyter, or their organization, instead of the Word of Life. Why? It knows nothing else but that, "Why, you know, someday I might be a presbyter." Why, Nicodemus was a master. That was beyond a presbyter, that was beyond a--a--a pastor; that was beyond, that was a master in Israel. See? Yes, and he was a great man; he belonged to this group and knowed no more about God than nothing. See? All he knowed was some history.
