<TITLE>19. Par 180-191</TITLE>L-180 That's professed Christians. Listen, read the next verse. "Having a form of godliness, but denying the Power thereof; from such turn away." Warned to turn away from such that's denying the Power of the resurrection, denying that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Right! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-181   Peter said, on the Day of Pentecost, "This promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." That's what the Holy Ghost is for. As long as God still calls, the Holy Ghost is still here to fill every hungry heart that God called.

L-182 But we substitute something else. We try to satisfy that feeling, by--by joining church. You just deaden that feeling, by doing that. You ain't satisfied with that. That won't satisfy.

L-183 There is only one thing will satisfy, that's when Christ comes into a man's life, for He's made in the image of God, and he's made in the statue of God. And God didn't give you this trip here on earth, to be this, that, or the other, but to be a son and daughter of God. And there is nothing else will satisfy. That's the only thing will hold our--our world together. And take not our manmade economy, but take God's economy and His way of doing it through His Word. That will hold it together.
That's the Tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred mind
Is like to that Above.

L-184   That's right. What the world needs today is a good old-time, Saint Paul's revival; and the Bible, Holy Ghost back again; where the Spirit of God falls amongst the people, and signs and wonders appear, like sparks off of an anvil. Yes, sir, we need it. That's what we have to have to hold together.

L-185 Then we expect God to meet us in our traditions. Oh! To keep the world from falling apart, we expect Him to come to our system.

L-186   Now that's exactly what they thought back there, "Now if the Messiah comes in this age, we got a fine high priest, Caiaphas. We got Lavinski, all these priests along here, see, fine men. We schooled them, schooled them. They know what they're talking about."

L-187 But when He come, He by-passed every one of them. He didn't even touch their system. Besides that, He said, "You are of your father, the Devil, and his works you do. You generation of snakes in the grass," He said, "Who has warned you to flee from the wrath that is to come?" Watch the Word of God come out in that rebuke. Oh, it certainly didn't meet their theological taste. And it wouldn't today, either. It doesn't.

L-188   When they seen Him standing there and perform the sign of the Prophet, to show that He was Messiah, what'd they say? "He is Beelzebub. That's an evil spirit on Him."

L-189 Jesus said, "That's blasphemy. And when the Holy Ghost comes, and you speak against That, it'll never be forgiven in this world or the world to come."

L-190 But you see the system today? It's the same thing. We formed our own system, that's the reason our system will never hold this world together. They might elect a President or an Abraham Lincoln in every county in the United States, and it'll never hold it together, till we get back to the Word of God, back to the old-fashion black-back Bible that's got the Truth. That's the only way we'll ever know God and keep our world together, is back to the principles of Jesus Christ, back to His Doctrine, back to the Holy Ghost again leading the Church.

L-191   That's why the Truth has been so mishandled in this last days, is because that when the God trying to get His program in, and people have already denominated themselves off in such. They build up a fence so that the Holy Spirit can't get in there, keeping Him out. We want God to save us in the--the very condition we're in. That's the way that I think...
