<TITLE>21. Par 214-221</TITLE>L-214   The prophet confessed, caused him to say, "I'm a man of unclean lips." A prophet! God, we need another vision like that! When he saw up there, the... saw this cleansing Power of God.

L-215 Now watch how God did. He sent one of the Seraphims and took the tong, took a hot coal off the altar and put it in His hands, come laid Isaiah's head back and touched his lips, said, "Your iniquity is gone."

L-216 Then Isaiah learned another lesson. I might drop this in. Might not be very appropriate, but I believe it is. Did you notice, God cleanses His prophets by Fire, not by theology or a book of some kind. See? He cleans His people by Fire, Holy Ghost and Fire; not by declaration of creeds, or books or something you've got to learn, a bunch of prayers, and so forth. He cleans them by Fire off of the altar. That's how He sets him in order. Yeah. Yes, sir. That's how He cleansed His prophets at the beginning, when a hundred and twenty was in an upper room, the Holy Ghost fell, and tongues of Fire set upon them. They were cleansed and ready for service. That's how God cleans. Not by learning, get a Bachelor of Art, or a DD., Ph.D.; but getting Holy Fire from Heaven, that takes the lying off of your lips, and takes the carnality out of you, burns that stuff away, that dross of--of the world, and puts His Presence in there and lives through that person. Holy Fire is what God cleans His Church with. Isaiah learned that. We ought to learn it, that God don't cleanse by knowledge. He cleans by Fire.

L-217   You see how he is, a prophet set in order. Now He cleansed his lips, took his iniquity away. Then after he had, he confessed, humbled himself, he said, "I am a man of unclean lips," when he saw the Presence of God.

L-218 Do you follow me? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] What do we, what do we know right now? We're in the Presence of God. That's right. We are right now sitting. Do you... We can't comprehend it, but we are now in the Presence of God, seeing God. Do you believe He is here? ["Amen."] Certainly, He is here. We... [Blank.spot.on.tape.]

L-219   I am your brother. But He said, "The works that I do, shall He... you do also." Is that what He said? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right. If He is here, His Spirit is here. That's what makes Him. Then if we can surrender ourselves and get our own thoughts away. Just like this has no thoughts, then another voice can speak through it. That's the way. If we can empty ourselves out. There is the secret, get rid of yourself! Then God gets... Get rid of your own thinking. Get rid of your own ways, and then let God move. If He is Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever, you believe it? ["Amen."] You believe Him right now and see if it is.

L-220   I been watching this little fellow sitting here, right here in front of me. You don't have a prayer card. You, if God will tell me what you're sitting there for, you believe it? It's a spiritual problem, you're all wound up and you don't know what to do. If that's right, raise up your hand. All right, it's all over. Take the Word, what I've said, and it's all over.
Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-221 That colored lady sitting right back there, looking over at him; got heart trouble. Do you believe that God will make you well? Sure. You believe? [The sister says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right, you can have your healing.
Do you believe He is the same yesterday and...
