<TITLE>09. Par 83-92</TITLE>L-83   When a church makes, does, maybe it wouldn't speak that right out. Oh, no. They won't speak it right out, but their actions prove it. Here is the Word. And the Holy Spirit proves it amongst those, when He can get them gathered together, that He still heals the sick, and raises the dead, and speaks with tongues, and casts out devils. So, it depends on the... what's on the inside of a person.

L-84   Mrs. Arganbright there, was thinking that, the other day, setting out there on the walk, pulling out some grass, when she was cutting the lawn. I passed by, right by the side of her. She didn't know me, and I just let her go on. I was watching.
Now notice the Holy Spirit in His great work.

L-85   The church feels that it don't need the Holy Spirit. The churches will tell you that. And the men can stand up and give you such an intellectual talk, can almost make you believe it. Now let's stop there, a minute. Didn't Jesus say that the two would be so close together, "It would deceive the very Elected if it was possible"? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The intellectual talks would be so smooth, that it would--it would deceive the people. It's gospel, it's men who can handle that word in such a way, that he could almost make any intellectual person, if you're just trusting in their intellectuals. They--they would condemn the Holy Spirit, and--and take the way of the man. We see that.

L-86   Now, that's the same thing they thought about Joseph, and they got rid of him. And, oh, down in Egypt, oh, how we can think, how I could spend hours. You could stay here for three years and never leave that subject, day and night, and still be finding the great kernels of the Holy Spirit. 
86a  The spiritual mind can look down in Egypt and see that persecution rise; can see Joseph taken away, in order that the persecution could rise. And then see God, with His wheel in the wheels, everything moving around just perfectly. See Potiphar reject Joseph; see that lie told. And see Joseph in the prison, and his beard is growed out, excommunicated from his brethren. But then, all of a sudden, God moved in. See?

L-87   How we can see that wheel in the wheels, moving! God's great plan moving everything up to this exodus, to this time when He would call His people back in the land again, back in the place, in position where He could bless them and place among them the One that He promised He would place among them. They had to be in their land. Remember, they had to come out of the land that they were in, and get into the land of promise, before their promised Messiah could ever come.

L-88   And the Church has to do the same thing; get out of that group of rejecters, over into the promise, before Messiah can ever be manifested before them. You see it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The Life of the Messiah, manifested, making a Church ready, a Bride.

L-89 A woman marry a man, and disagreeing with him, it would be some kind of a--a fuss, continually. But when a man and his wife, his girl friend, his espoused, when they are in perfect harmony, like one soul and one mind, because they're going to be one flesh.

L-90 Then, when the Church can get in such harmony with God, until the manifestation of the Bridegroom is manifested in the Bride, because they're going to be one! Oh, what a great lesson. All right.

L-91 Now, remember, the spiritual mind picking this up, can see the type and the antitype, and pick it. For one, just, we could go hours on it. Watch what takes place.

L-92   And why have we waited all these years, since this oasis of time? You know, the Bible speaks, that, "The church fled into the wilderness, where she was nourished for time and time." And why has all this been? That we... See? It's still God's wheels in the wheels.
