<TITLE>06. Par 57-63</TITLE>L-57 If you noticed, Lucifer is exactly doing the same thing, today, that he did at the beginning. See? Lucifer, at the beginning, wanted to build himself a kingdom which was greater and more beautiful than Michael's kingdom, Christ. He, that was his ambitions, to achieve something like that. And what did he get to do it by? He took fallen angels who had lost their first estate. He took that to do it with.

L-58 And, today, Lucifer has got into the church, and taken away the Word, and injected denomination. And he is building a church, the ecumenical move that's going on now, to unite all the protestants together, and altogether come into Catholic. And this pope they got in now, to do the same thing, exactly what the Scripture said it would do. And what's he doing it by? He is doing it by man of those great ecumenical moves, who does not know God; and the many of them in the Pentecostals, 'cause they're doing the same. What is it? He is doing it with fallen angels, fallen Lutherans, fallen Methodists, fallen Pentecostals, and lost their original estate from the Word of God, and going right back in to make a great big ecumenical move. Fallen messengers, messengers who once stayed with the Word, but sold out their birthrights and joined in with the world. The same thing, it's at the last day. And their Lu-... And Lucifer is achieving today, by man with those spirits in them, that he did with angels at the beginning, fallen angels who kept not their first estate to obey God. And he is doing the same thing today.

L-59   Oh, you will never find any way, any way at all; I don't care if you're in a barroom, or you're on the street, or wherever you are. God's provided way for man, to come to Christ and receive Eternal Life. Jesus said, "I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I'll draw all man unto Me." That's God's only way. "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all man unto Me."

L-60 He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He said, in Saint John, the 14th chapter and the 12th verse, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." God's provided way. Mark 16 said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. In My Name they shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. If they should take up serpents or drink deadly things, it wouldn't harm them. They'll lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover." The very things that Christ did! That's...

L-61   He was God's Word made manifest. He was God's promise, vindicated. He was. He was God in a flesh form. The Bible said that, "God was in Christ." That great Jehovah that created heavens and earth, was made manifest in a body, the Lord Jesus. And in that one Man, He could achieve. Till... He tried it through Moses, and He did it in Jacob, and He did it in Joseph. But He come in His fullness, in the Man Christ, He was the fullness of the Godhead bodily, where God could express Himself. And He said, "Who can accuse Me of sin? Sin is 'unbelief.' If I haven't done exactly what the Scripture said I would do, then who can condemn Me and say where I failed in one way?" See, it's God's provided way.

L-62 And Christ, the Just One, had to die in order to produce Eternal Life by His Blood, giving His Blood cell, that He might give us Eternal Life. That's God's provided way.

L-63   There has never been anything that ever beat God's way on anything. I don't care what it is. If people would just don't try to inject their own ideas, but just take it the way God said it, believing It. See, it seems to be so hard for man just to get out of his own ideas, just he's got to have something to do into It, himself. He has always gaummed up, if you'd excuse the expression, he has always gaummed up God's way for him, by injecting his own way into It.
