<TITLE>25. Par 270-281</TITLE>L-270 Pentecost, turn, or you're gone. Come back to the Word. It's later than you think.

L-271 God wants to reflect, not members, but genuine stones that's polished and molded and shaped. Watch. The Goldsmith is standing tonight, ready to take out all the doubts of dross, all that's against you. And by... He is here, ready to mold you and shape you into believers, taking all the doubt away from you.

L-272   You go along, you've seen so many impersonators come along, saying, "This, and, glory to God, I got this. And, hallelujah, I got this." And you find out, they haven't got nothing. And the Devil did that, to rise a doubt in your heart. See? He did that, purposely, to do that. But remember, that only says one thing, that, there's a genuine that that impersonator is trying to act like.

L-273 There is a genuine Holy Ghost. There is a genuine Spirit of God. There is a genuine power of God. There is a Son of God that's reflecting Himself tonight as the Holy Spirit, to show forth His Life. He is standing here tonight in the midst of you, in the form of the Holy Spirit; to pound all the dross out of you, the doubts; and reflect to you, His resurrection, that He is not dead. And He is here to show you that He is living, the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is here to identify Himself with us. Should not we then identify ourself with Him, to believe His Word and to take It?

L-274   Let us pray. [A brother prophesies in the congregation--Ed.] Glory. Amen. Amen. Oh! Amen.

L-275   O Lord God, how we thank You, Lord! We are told in the Scripture, that when David... when the enemy was coming in! And they assembled together, and David was trying to tell them about God. There stood up one in their midst, and prophesied and told them what to do, and how to defeat the enemy. Truly, Lord, we believe that same thing. The Spirit of God falls in the midst of us. And the Word is the place to defeat the enemy.

L-276 That's what You give Adam and Eve, in the garden of Eden, to defeat the enemy. And when Eve reasoned with It, and projected reasons with the Word, it fell apart, and sin entered.

L-277 Truly, Lord, that's been the downfall of men, through the ages, to try to inject something with the Word. Sarah tried the same thing, to inject something, to take in Hagar, to bring the child, but it fell through. Always, it's been that way, Father. We--we just want Your Word, and that alone; nothing added to It, or taken from It, just the way It is. And You are this Word. And we are thankful for that.

L-278   Bless the people here, Lord. I have now, in these, nights after nights, tried to say these things, that Your--Your--Your Coming is at hand. Everything is shaping that way.

L-279 And from a--a vision, a few weeks ago, has sent me here to Arizona. I know not why. May be my coming Home. I don't know. It--it looks very much that way.

L-280 But, Lord, let me finish my course with... and hold the Faith, keeping my garments unspotted, Lord, by the grace of Christ. Let me be able to stand in that day, and say, "I have declared the whole Counsel of God, as I knew It to be the Truth, and I've shunned to say nothing." Grant it.

L-281 May my brethren, Lord, likewise, join up together and move closer up, and know that these exhortations is--is not a rebuke, but it's a warning, and to watch the crossroad. Grant it, Father. As it's just been said to us, that, He would judge us by that Word of the Message. God, let me look at myself, and, I'm ashamed of it, Lord, in the mirror of God's Word.
