<TITLE>12. Par 117-123</TITLE>L-117   Now, if we go out here, and one says, "I belong to the church of God." I believe this is church of God. And the other one says, "I belong to the Assemblies," well, that might make a friction. One says, "I belong to the United." The other one says, "I belong to something else, the Oneness," or the whatever it is. If you're going to fuss that way, you're going to fuss.

L-118   But if you have actually reached that Tower, no matter what group you're with, you're under the Blood. And that's the only place that you can have fellowship, while the Blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all sin. We have fellowship then, one with another. What a fellowship it is! We can reach across, and take the church of God, the Assemblies of God, the Oneness of God, and whatever it might be, no matter what it is. There we have things in common. We have Christ, and Christ is our Refuge. Each one of us, if he's a Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Catholic, whatever he is, if he's under that Blood, you can fellowship with him because you are one. You're in this Divine fellowship of Christ. Oh, what a great thing!
Isaiah described it, "He's a rock in a weary land."

L-119 That's this kind of a land, where he's so worried, people don't know what to do. They say, "Well, is this right? Is that right?" Christ is right. "Is this the way? Is that the way?"
He said, "I am the Way."
"Which is Truth, this or that?"
Jesus said, "I'm the Truth. I'm the Way, the Truth, the Life." See?

L-120 We've quit worrying about that. That way builds up pressure. You say, "Is the Methodist right? Is the Presbyterian? My mother was this. And my..." But Christ was your Lord. See? No matter what it is, you build up pressure, and that makes you fuss. See? If you're just depending on your organization, that builds up a fuss. You're trying to build your organization. But if you're in Christ, you just let off the pressure. Amen. There's just food for all of us. My!

L-121   Jacob dug a well, and the Philistines run away from him. I believe he called it "strife." I forget the name. Was that? And he dug another one, and they run it away from him, and he called that "malice," or something. Then he dug another well. He said, "There's room for all of us. Let's all come in." So I think we need to get around that third well. So in...

L-122 The only way we can do that, is under the Blood, then the Methodist can come right in here and feel just at home as a Pentecostal could. Yes, sir. A Methodist pastor, filled with the Holy Spirit, could take every Pentecost in the country, right in there, and be right at home. And we can be at home with one another, not because, say, now, "All you Methodists, all you Pentecostals." When you say, "All you Christians." Amen! Oh, that takes in the big thing. Then we have fellowship, and just let off the pressure. I like that. There's no pressure built up then. We don't care what you belong to, what brand you wear.

L-123   I used to herd cattle. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... the Troublesome River Valley. And then if you can raise two ton of hay, and on this ranch, why, you could put a cow on the pasture. And some of them men has thousand, two, head of cattle. Grimes was up there, the bar, Diamond Bar, ours was the old Turkey Track. Why, they, they had many brands, maybe twenty or thirty brands, up-and-down that, that association had in it. Then, there is a drift fence that keeps the cattle back up on the national forest, as you go up the canyon, and keep them up there.
