<TITLE>15. Par 146-157</TITLE>L-146 That's the reason you Methodist got sanctified when the Lutherans didn't believe in it, you were on the Word.

L-147 That's how you Lutherans got saved, justified, because your messenger preached justification, and protested the Catholic church which was an off brand of all. They just believed in the church; you come back to the Bible, and you took that Bible truth and held to it.

L-148 And then along come Wesley with another truth, and held to it; along come the Pentecost with another truth, and held to it; then if you can hold to that and see it's right, why not take the whole thing that's been proved right? Believe it all!

L-149   Now, when we see these messengers, we know then. We see Christ, the great God-prophet foretelling these things to happen in the last days. What's it doing? Introducing the crop time. It's introducing the time that the crop is going to be harvested, what will be in the last days. You see it?

L-150 Now, these things will be in the last days. We know what kind of a crop we're looking for. We're looking for a church that once had Light, turned away from It, went to the glamour of the world, all polished up (is that right?), getting away, taking in any kind of a member, and anything, and calling it Pentecostals, baptize anything.

L-151 Water don't save a man. It takes the Blood of Jesus Christ. There's no Life in water. Life comes in the Blood cell; takes sanctification to cleanse that life, to kill the desire of sin; then the Holy Spirit comes into that clean vessels and sets it aside in work, service. The altar sanctified the vessel, but the... its filling is what put it in service. It was set aside for service, now it's got to be put in service. And the Holy Ghost puts the church in service. I used to like that little song:
They were gathered in the upper room,
All praying in His Name,
They were baptized with the Holy Ghost,
And power for service came. Yes.
And the rest of it says:
What He did for them that day
He can do for you the same. Sure.

L-152   The crop; the prophets; we stopped there on Christ. Now we just go back a little bit.

L-153 Isaiah, the prophet, how he testified, prophesied of the end time. He said, "The whole body would become full of putrified sores, every table would be full of vomit!" Why, man and women today, they take the communion, living with two or three wives, or two or three husbands, (right) all kinds of... smoking cigarettes, and all those things; coming into the church, taking communion!

L-154 Now, I could go just a little lower than that, but I'll just wait a while, maybe just ain't right then. I felt just a little checked on what I was going to say. But I... You can read between the lines. You know what the Bible says, what the common and uncommon things are.

L-155   All these things we see happening then, and the nation... science says it's... four or five years ago, "It's three minutes till midnight." Israel's in her homeland. The church is in the Laodicea. Oh, my! What are we looking for? What's the matter?

L-156 We're looking for the evening Light. Oh, I wonder, if It would come, if we'd recognize It? Or would It skip over the top of our heads like it has back in other ages? They never know it till it's done too far gone.

L-157 You remember, those religious people was the one who killed the prophets that was sent to them. Jesus said so. He said, "You hypocrites!" Said, "You garnish the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers put them in there and then build their tomb."
