<TITLE>09. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 Now, we find that the church moved off in the same direction that its forefathers moved in, the--the first organizations of churches. It's been that way down through the ages. But they are never, never...
The servants will not be free. They will not hear the Word. They will not believe the Word. The servants, they heard the trumpet sound, that priest riding through the land sounding this trumpet that every man was free, sounded out throughout, liberty all out the lands. And every man that was borned a Jew knowed he could go back to his inheritance. I don't care how far he was sold, what happened, he could go back, because he was a--borned in the house. He was in his father's house, born. But the servant didn't know what he was doing. Oh, my.

L-37 Both of them working for the same master, sold under sin... Many a Pentecostal tonight is sold the same way. Oh brother, return. Go back to your original inheritance, all of you. Turn and go back. It's time to go back.
The heathen... Now, the heathen slave could not do that, he didn't know nothing about it. And after all, a heathen means an unbeliever, an unbeliever in the Word.
Many of them will take dogmas and rituals and creeds of the church instead of listening to the real Word. And when the real Word sounds Itself out, they don't know what you're talking about. They want to call you a holy-roller. They want to call you like they did their forefathers fifty years ago in Louisiana, "crazy." Like it was back in the days of Paul, "In the way of heresy, that's the way I worship the God of our fathers." See, the heathen don't know nothing about it. Though he professes to be something, but yet, a heathen is an unbeliever, unbeliever in God's Word. That makes him a heathen.

L-38 It was only for the elected, God's chosen. That's the way it is today, "Not him that runneth, or him that willeth, it's God that has mercy." It's God that does it, God, by His grace. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him. And all the Father has given Me will come to Me." It's God's grace that He chose the church before the foundation of the world.
That church will hear the Word of God; they'll turn every creed down; they'll turn every organization, every denomination that's contrary down; and they'll serve God by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen. They certainly know the trumpet sound. "My sheep hear My voice." What are you talking about? The Word. You say, "That's God's voice?"
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us. My sheep hear that. They know it. A stranger they will not follow." They don't hear these creeds; they don't hear these dogmas and these things that's been injected to make an organization instead of a body. "A body has Thou prepared Me," said God. Acts... or, Hebrews. "A body has Thou prepared Me. A sacrifice and offerings Thou wouldest not, but a body has Thou prepared Me," a body of believers, a body that's been born.
