<TITLE>13. Par 128-137</TITLE>L-128 Look at the modern Billy Graham, the angels, messengers down in Sodom, calling the people out, to see if they can find forty just people; and God would even compromise for ten, and yet they can't find it. This great evangelist, Billy Graham, and Jack Shuler of you Methodist people, and, oh, Oral Roberts of you Pentecostals, how that out there in Babylon in these organizations that's co-operating.

L-129   But, remember, Abraham did not represent any of those; he was not a city. He was looking for a Kingdom, uh-huh, and he had a group with him. And there was One of the three that stayed behind and showed him a sign of Who He was, with His back turned to the tent, and knowed what Sarah said in the tent, a discernment of spirit. Jesus plainly saying, now remember that was... There was not one more sign done until Sodom was burned. The last thing that the Church is going to see, is Christ manifested in His power, in fulness, in His Church, just before the fire falls. Remember, Lot was the one the fire fell from the sky. Not--not back in the days of Noah; the water came. But Christ expressed what type of ministry would be in the days of Lot, and now we see the Holy Spirit moving among His Church, in the same manner. We find it in the Laodicea condition, just as it was then.

L-130   Now let us find out here why this man wouldn't invest in this policy, the holder of it, because that there was too much on the other side that he didn't want to give up.

L-131 And that's what's the matter with the church today. There is not a man with his common sense, a pope, potentate, or anything else, can stand and deny that Jesus Christ didn't say, "These signs shall follow them that believe." How far? "All the world, to every creature." And cannot say that Jesus didn't say, "A little while, and the world," kosmos, "world order will see Me no more." The order of the church, order, order in the world, of the world, they think.

L-132   And God's Kingdom is never of the world, no matter how many intellectual men you can stand up. I'm not condemning those people, but I'm trying to show you a trick that Satan has done. They--they cannot, I don't care how big. You Pentecostals want... You oneness wants all the threeness to unite with you. And you threeness wants all the oneness and church of God, and so forth, unite with your thirty-some odd organizations, become one. You Methodist and Baptist, and so forth, the same way.

L-133   This ecumenical council that's just meeting over there this week, to discuss the--the problems, they're all wanting to unite it in one. And they'll do it. The Bible says they will do it, "Make an image unto the beast." You see where the very background comes from? A beast is a "power," and it'll be a power, but it'll be the wrong power.

L-134 Jesus said His Kingdom was not of this world. If it was, His Kingdom, His delegates would fight. But said, "My Kingdom is of Above." See? The Kingdom of God is not an organization that can make a great thing. It's the power of God, the Holy Spirit in the human life.

L-135   Quickly now. I--I don't want to keep you here a long time, and I've done kept you too long now. But just could I have a few more minutes? Yeah, we'll hurry. I think you know what I'm speaking of. I--I'll...

L-136 Let's just investigate some of the policyholders of this Eternal Life, that's took this investment in Eternal Life, the holders of this Word-of-God policy.

L-137 Remember, This is God in letter form. "My Words are Spirit," Jesus said. "They are Life." Did He say it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] He also said this, in Saint John the 1st chapter, the Bible tells us, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God." "And the Word was made flesh," as I just got through telling you, "and dwelt among us."
