<TITLE>05. Par 32-38</TITLE>L-32   "And the Voice of God," they say, "how will we know it's the Voice of God?" Because, for today... Then it was in a vindicated prophet. Now, today, how we know it's the Voice of God, because it's the manifestation of the prophet's Word. This is God's prophet. And a true Voice of God only brings back that real, living, Supernatural God, with His Supernatural Word, with the Supernatural manifestation of the True Word. Then we know that It's the Voice of God. Because, and that Super-... There's so much other in the other realms, that just almost deaden That out. But, remember, It will glisten, It'll come forth! It'll do it.

L-33   Now, there is a voice today in the world of politics. That's a great voice. And people, absolutely, in this great day of politics, they'll... It's all mixed up in their churches and everything. And many times, that we have just seen recently, that the voice of politics is actually stronger than the Voice of God in the churches, or the American people would have never did what they just done. See? They'd a-never done it. If the Voice of God would been kept alive in the church, they'd have never made that mistakes. But the voice of politics is so much stronger in the earth today than the Voice of God, until people sold their Christian birthright for a mess of popularity, education, and political power. It's such a shame to see it. The very thing that our nation was made, what it's made on, the people turned right back around and--and voted in the thing that we left the other country. And the--and the Plymouth Rock, and Mayflower and them, come over here and--and established this great economy that we have. Is the very thing that we fought so hard to come out of, we've put ourselves right back in its clutches, because that the Bible speaks it would be that way.

L-34   And the system of Eli, a priest instead of a prophet. The prophet is the Word. And the priest was the church.

L-35 And it's got in such a place till it begin to get so loose that the Word is foreign to the people. They don't get It. Then you can speak It, and they don't understand It, because they're not trained to It. Paul said, "If the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will know to prepare himself for battle?"

L-36 The people are trained to a--a--a church voice, a church trumpet, "We've got more in our Sunday school than the rest of them's got." That don't mean a thing. "We've got more in our denomination than the rest of them's got. We're the biggest amongst the denominations." See, that's the kind of a voice that the people are trained for. In the street, they go out to get the people and bring them in. Tens of thousands times thousands in great campaign, bring them in. What are they interested in? "We got the biggest church. We got the biggest congregation. We got the highest-membered Sunday school. We got the mayor of the city coming to our church." That might be all good, but if that same church isn't trained to the Voice of God, the Gospel Trumpet, what good does it do?

L-37   And when a thing rises just like has rose amongst our government, what's happened? The church didn't know the Voice of the Trumpet, and they didn't know what to do. The great promise of prosperity, an intellectual giant coming in, and they went right over the very thing that the Bible predicted, and brought it in. See, a political voice! And it proved that it overrode the religious Voice, or they'd a-never done what they did, the Gospel Voice. Because we're promised of a lot of stuff, we're promised prosperity, and no doubt but what we'll get it.

L-38 But, still, that doesn't mean anything to a believer. Turn over in the Book of Hebrews, at the 11th chapter, listen to that Saint Paul speak, how they, in the days, "Wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, was destitute, not a place, couldn't enter the city."
