<TITLE>23. Par 249-261</TITLE>L-249 Then, see, the Bible said, "If you all speak with tongues, and there come one among you, who is unlearned, there be no interpreter, then he'd say 'You're mad.' But let one prophesy and reveal the secret of the heart, then all of them will fall down and say, 'God is with you.'" I'm thankful to see that day arrive, to live long enough to see it among the called-out church.

L-250 You remember, it does not go to Babylon. It did not go to Sodom. It went to the called-out, the Elected; that's the sign they see. They've got theirs out there, their organizational groups and carrying on.

L-251   But this is the Lord Jesus Christ in the form of the Holy Spirit, moving among His people, doing the same thing that He did when He was here on earth, identifying Himself with His Bride, not the church.

L-252 There is a difference between the church and the Bride. Not preaching doctrine, 'cause I don't do that; but, to my humble belief, the Bride goes through the... or, the--the church goes through the tribulation, the sixth seal, to purify it. That's right. But the Bride don't; she goes in the Rapture before that. It's time for the Bride to be called out, so now I believe it's the calling-out time.

L-253 Excuse me, brothers, I shouldn't preach doctrine, they might have...?... Might differ; if you do, just be like eating cherry pie, throw the seed away and eat the pie. You see, that's right. All right.

L-254   But I believe that's where we make a mistake, where some of us believe, one, say It goes through. And the other says, sure, the church will go through it; but, sure, there is the church there in Babylon, out there in Sodom. The Bride is called out, sitting up here waiting for the coming Son. That's right. Yes, sir. That's where the sign is being done, not down amongst the--the denominationals; in the elect.

L-255 Now, before God, Who I stand, and lie not, Him being my Judge, solemnly I say that there is not a person in that line, as I ever remember seeing in my life. There is not a person, outside of the ones that I have called out here, that I know one thing about, or ever seen; with the Bible here before me.

L-256   Now, if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, as I've told you! And you know that I'm not a theologian, I'm not a preacher, as what I call like your pastors here anointed to preach this. That's their call. This is my call, now anointed with the Holy Spirit, to let God flow through His people. See?

L-257 Now will you believe it? If He will show Himself among His people tonight, that He promised, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more. The unbelievers won't see Me. No, they're out there in Sodom. But you shall see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you. The works that I do shall you also. More than this shall you do."

L-258 I know the King James says, "more," but you get the Emphatic Diaglott and see if it don't say--don't say... King James says, "greater." You couldn't do no greater. Nothing could be done any greater. He healed the sick, raised the dead, stopped nature, done everything there was. "But more shall you do."

L-259   Because, He's just represented in one person there, Jesus Christ, God. But now God is among His Church, everywhere. "More than this shall you do, for I go to the Father; to come back in the form of the Spirit, Father Spirit." The same Pillar of Fire that led the children through the wilderness, that dwelled in Jesus Christ, returned back to the God, and said, "I come from God, and go to God."

L-260 Notice what took place as soon as He did that. Saul of Tarsus, on his road down, was struck down with that great Light, as I said last night. He knew that was the Lord. He said, "Lord, Who are You?"
Said, "I am Jesus." See?

L-261 There is that same Pillar of Fire, that same Light among us, bearing forth the Life that It did when It was in Christ Jesus, doing the same thing in the Bride Church today. See? Will you believe it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
