<TITLE>14. Par 130-140</TITLE>L-130 People say today, "I'm a Christian. I can show you my long membership. I want you to tell me where I ever stole anything, was ever in law courts. Show me where I ever committed adultery. I haven't done all these things, or something like that. Show me one place." That don't mean a thing now. No, no. See, no matter how much covenant he was, the covenant is without effect. It's non-effective.
You say, "Well, I'm a Bible student."

L-131   I don't care what you are. Without that covenant, the wrath of God is upon you. See? That's right. It's caught up with you. Yeah. "Your sins will find you out." What is sin? Unbelief. You've disbelieved the Message. You've disbelieved the Word. You've disbelieved the witness of the Token, Itself, when It's identified Itself in the midst of us. And have you disbelieved That? No matter how much you disbelieve It, It's got to be applied.

L-132 You might say, "I believe It. I believe It. I believe It's the Truth. I accept It as the Truth." Then that's all good, but yet It's got to be applied.

L-133   Why, this one Jew standing there, stirring the blood, as the lamb was bleeding, saying, "This is Jehovah."

L-134 And there stood a priest, saying, "Yes, sir, I believe that's true," but on his own house it hasn't been applied. He don't want to identify himself out there with that group; no, sir, this fanatics with the blood on the door. He don't want that identification. No matter how much priest he was, how much he knowed the Word, how well he had been raised, what works he had done, how much he had give to the poor, how much he had sacrificed!

L-135 Paul said, "I give my body to be burned, as a sacrifice; give all my goods to feed the poor; I have faith to move mountains, and so forth; and speak in tongues, like man and angels; and all these other things," and said, "I am nothing until the Token has been applied. Until this Token!" That's what I'm speaking on tonight, the love. See? "Now, until this has been applied, I am nothing." See?

L-136   I don't care, you might have cast out devils. You might have healed the sick by your prayer of faith. You might have done all these things. But if that Token is not there, you're under the wrath of God. You might be a believer. You might stand in the pulpit and preach the Gospel. "Many will come to Me in that day, and say, 'Lord, Lord, have not I prophesied in Your Name, preached in Your Name? Have not I cast out devils in Your Name?'" That's both Methodists, Baptists, and Pentecostals. Jesus said, "Depart from Me, you that work iniquity. I never even knew you."

L-137 "But when I see the Token, I'll pass over you." It's God's requirement of the hour. The evening-time Message, is to apply the Token.

L-138   Satan has throwed all kinds of counterfeits, of shaking hands, and evidences, and everything like that. Forget it! The hour has arrived that the Token, Itself; not some counterfeit, make-belief, substitutionary, anything.

L-139 The hour is here when the Token Himself is identifying Himself right among us, and proving that He is the same Jesus yesterday, today, and forever, and He's right with the Word. It's got to be applied. A man that says he's got the Token, deny this Word, then what about it? See, you can't do it. The Token has got to be there. "When I... The blood shall be a token unto you." Now the Holy Spirit, the Life that was in the Blood, is a Token unto you. Get to it in a moment, see. The Holy Ghost is the Token. The case is closed. Yes, sir. Now, remember. And I...

L-140   Doesn't matter what you are, how good you are, how many times you've jumped up-and-down, how many churches you've joined, how many good things you've done, it won't mean one thing to you if the Token isn't applied. This is the evening time. That worked all right in the days of Luther, that worked all right in the days of Wesley, but it don't work now. No.
