<TITLE>21. Par -</TITLE>L-34-2 Ministers has organized themselves, and got great denominations, and taking in anything, and so forth, and just for anything making a church member; and they're went over to some seminary like a incubator chicken, and hatch them out by a--a grinder that brings them out like that; and sometime know no more about God than a Hottentot does about an Egyptian knight. Bring them through like that, and the... There you are. See?
Oh, what we need in our churches is a man that's got a absolute. What we need in a Methodist church, the Baptist church, the Pentecostal church, the Presbyterian church is an absolute, a man of God that'll stand tied to the Word and to Christ, and bring that congregation under that condition of where each member walks in condition of this Word, seeing that Word manifested, following, "These signs shall follow them that believe into all the world."
They said, "That was done away with."
Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world; preach the Gospel to every creature."
We haven't reached all the world yet, and a long ways from every creature. How long? All the world. Who to? Every creature. What will happen? "These signs shall follow them that believe: In My Name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; if they should take up a serpent or drink the deadly thing, it would not harm them; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover."
That's the absolute holding there, the Word, that North Star, that compass that stays right with It. That's what we need.

L-34-6 But we went out and built institutions, organized the people, took in members, and fussed with the Baptists because they didn't believe the way we did, and the Methodists because they didn't this way; and--and we hatched out a bigger seminary, and built a bigger churches, the better plushed pews, and a bigger organ, and so forth, and a better dressed crowd; they got the mayor and everybody in the church; and what have we got? A bunch of death tied to a denominational absolute. Death. Oh, forbid...

L-35-1 If I die in my tracks, my absolute is Jesus Christ; upon That I believe. If everybody walks out... Someone said... Doctor Davis said to me, "Billy, you preach such a thing as that, you'll preach it to the posts of the church."
I said, "I'll be preaching God's Word to the posts then, 'cause God's able of these posts to rise children unto Abraham." Right. God's Word is true.
He said, "You think they'll believe you?"
I said, "It does... That's not my business. It's my business to stay true to that Word." That's right.
Said, "You think you could meet an educated world like this with a theology of--of Divine healing?"
I said, "It's not my Divine healing; it's His promise. He was the One give the commission."

L-35-3 Oh, and I remember when He swept down there in that big Light, standing yonder at the bottom of the river, 1933, in June, when He said, "As--as John the Baptist was sent forth and forerun the first coming of Christ, I send you with a Message to the world to forerun the second coming of Christ." And around the world she's went, when revival fires had been built for fifteen years on nearly every mountain...?... Divine healing across the nations, and the power, and restoration... And now, I believe she's ready to strike that final climax yonder to bring forth a faith that'll rapture the Church into glory (It's the truth.), and She's laying in the Messages. We're really at the end time. We've talked about it and everything, but the thing has moved upon us now. Hear them. Yes, sir. Here's one. That's right.
