<TITLE>07. Par 73-82</TITLE>L-73   So much was said till I--I--I couldn't say nothing to make it any better. And I truly believe that it was the Lord that worked this out for Brother Vayle to bring this message, after this morning. Cause, you see, it has to work that way. We--we accept that from God. What, there is so many things he was saying; I--I--I have twenty sermons wrote down here, off of what he said.

L-74 I was thinking here of one little illustration, to back up what he said. Now, we look at this watch, to find out what time it is. Unless that every instrument in that watch is coordinating, one with the other, we'll never know the correct time. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] And that takes all of us, all together, if we want to see the Third Pull really do something for God, it's coordination with every one of us together, to humble ourselves before God and confess our wrong, and pray and believe God for these things.

L-75   I truly believe that what Brother Vayle said is the Truth, that God will never put His Spirit in an unholy, unrighteous, disobedient temple. No. It's got to come in the--the way of the cleansing of our hearts from all guile and iniquity, that we might be pure before God, that He might work His pure Holy Spirit through us, to bring these things to pass. I--I think that, when you go home tonight, if you'll read that little Book of Jude, you'll just learn a whole lot now of what Brother Vayle has said. And he said, "I earnestly contend for the Faith that was once delivered to the saints." They got away from It. How man of corrupt mind, and so forth, had come in and beguiled them away from the--from the real things of God.

L-76 And God can only operate as we let Him operate. And there's so many wonderful things, that I saying...

L-77   You know, people want power, and really they don't know what power is. See, they--they don't really know what--what--what goes with it. The--the way up is down, always. If you want power, see how humble you can get. Just get away from all your worldly thinking, and humble yourself before God, and then you've got more power than the man that runs all over the building and makes a big lot of noise; see, because you have been able to conquer yourself, and commit yourself to Christ, you see, to humble yourself before Him. That's really power.

L-78 You show me a church that's humble, real humble, not a--a arrogancy; a church, just a sweet, humble church, I'll show you a church that has the favor and power of God in it. That's right. That's the thing it takes, humility, humbling ourselves before God, letting God just work through us. Don't have to make a lot of noise.

L-79   Sometimes, as the farmer said, he went out to the field with his wagon, and, every time he hit a bump, it just rattled and went on. But when he come back, he hit the same bump and didn't make no noise at all, because it was loaded with good things.

L-80 So I think that's just about right, see, that we get filled up with the good things of God, that the fruit of the Spirit might be known through us. As he referred so much to First Corinthians 13 there, and how, that, "Though I give my body to be burnt, and have all these things, and have not charity; it's nothing, profiteth me nothing." See, we want to do that.

L-81   Above all things, it's our individual souls that we're responsible before God. See, it--it's you going to Heaven. It isn't whether I go, or he goes. It's you going, see, and you first. And you've got to look this out and come sweet before the Lord.

L-82 And I've always found out that the man that humbles himself is the man that God exalts. When you take a person with his chest out and knows everything, and you can't tell him nothing, and he is arrogant, and--and, well, that--that's the person that never gets anywhere. But you take that person that humbles themself and walks sweetly.
