<TITLE>10. Par 90-98</TITLE>L-90   What if your little boy seen you shaving with--with your straight razor, and he'd say, "Daddy, I want that razor"? You know better than to give that child that razor. Well, what if he'd say, "Daddy, I seen you do it"? Well, that's different. You're an adult. You know how to use the razor. You're an adult. You--you--you accumulated the intelligence, to know how to use the razor.

L-91 And then, lot of times, we see Pentecostal people see someone speak in tongues, or something does a healing service, and then our whole system becomes corrupt with a bunch of carnal impersonations going out. They see others doing it, but God might not have called you to do such a thing. And what does it do? It brings carnal impersonations, which brings reproach upon the very cause that God sent. What does it? Systems.

L-92 If the Assemblies of God has got a man out doing something, and God is with him, and proven, we see it like that, then the other groups has got to have one, too.

L-93   Look at the little form, not long ago, when the "little David" system come out. See? And every church had to have a little David, little girl preachers and boy preachers. And what was it? Comparing, comparison, trying to impersonate. That's what got us into the mess that we're in now. That's exactly.

L-94 What made you Assemblies of God go back into an organization when that was the very system that God brought you out of? You tried to compare with the Methodists and the Baptists. What made you oneness, with your "new issue," what made you go to an organization, the same thing that He brought you out of? The same thing. You just keep doing it, over and over, and over again. Can't you see it's not of God? The whole thing is rotten and wrong. God don't call you by your organizational brand. He calls you by your Birth. Certainly. That's what God calls you by.

L-95   God knows our needs, and we got to accept It the way He has It. Not according to our traditions, we just can't receive it that way, 'cause God won't receive it. God won't have nothing to do with it.

L-96 We--we see others. You say, "See, somebody, I... Brother Branham, I see some person that can do this, and some that. Glory to God, Lord!" My! If He did, He'll do it. If He called you that, you won't have to tell anybody about it. It'll show itself. That's exactly right. But we want to be just like the Joneses, about the way we've got ourself into the system that we're in now.

L-97 Now--now we find out, in our denominational politics, and we've accepted politics, and let politics lead our ministers, religious politics lead our ministers, instead of the Holy Spirit leading our ministers. That's right. A man see a Truth that he believes, he can't go to It, his church put him out right now. See? So, you see, you're letting man lead instead of God leading, because your dogmas of your creeds and so forth, keep a man away from it. How could a Methodist ever come out and--and preach the baptism of the Holy Spirit? You Methodist people here, you Methodist ministers, how could you ever do that? How could you Presbyterians ever do it and stay in your church? They'll put you out. You know that. Certainly, they will. And you, Pentecostal, just as bad. That's exactly. As long as it's a system, it's a system. The whole system is rotten. And get away from the thing, that's exactly what we got to do before it ever comes back.

L-98   You might not believe that, but this is taped. Listen at It, a few years from today, if there is such, and you'll know whether It's true or not. One day when the evening Lights are breaking, is too late then, you'll say, "Well, that man could have been right." But it's too late then.
