<TITLE>17. Par 140-149</TITLE>L-140 Don't you know the outside of you reflects what is on the inside? Don't the Bible say you shouldn't do that? "It's not even common for a woman to pray like that."

L-141   And you man want something like that? Preachers, you can't say it, because you'll give up your fellowship card, the big council will kick you out if you say something about it. God help a man that would think more of a council card or a fellowship card than he would the baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the Word! How can the Holy Ghost, that wrote the Bible, deny what He wrote?

L-142 "Well, the days of miracles, oh, we don't need that today. Divine healing, these other things, that, there is no such thing. That's fortune-telling, that's, oh, mental telepathy." You, poor, degraded, what's the matter with you? We need--need the Gospel, if the Holy Ghost is in you!

L-143   If I told you, "The life of Beethoven was in me," I could write music. If Beethoven lived in me, I'd live Beethoven's life. If Shakespeare was in me, I could compose poetry. I could write plays, if Shakespeare lived in me.

L-144 And if Jesus Christ lives in you, the works that He did, and His Word, He is the Word, will confirm Itself this day, by the very promise that He give. Amen. That's what God is waiting for. That's what holds the world, apart, what holds the world together, the religious world together, is His Word, hold any of the Word together. Yeah.

L-145   The people wants that kind of a system, though. They're going to get it. They are already in it, right now. The World Council of Churches will give them just what they want, every one of them together. How these Pentecostals can sit in these conventions, and get in the Vatican City and write a circulated letter, and say, "The most spiritual thing I ever said, when I set beside Holy Father Pope So-and-so," and be a Pentecostal and know how... It's a dead Pentecostal movement. The whole thing is dead. It's corrupted. It's gone! It's right back in the Confederation of Churches where it belongs. Exactly right.

L-146   But the Church of the living God, that Bride, moves right on just the same. And She'll go in the Rapture, by the Word, that's right, the Word and the Word will come together. If we're a part of Christ, part of It, we have to be His Word, 'cause He is the Word. Right. Yes, sir.

L-147   They have refused the anointed Word of promise, of this age, and He is always the Word. If God sent us an anointed, promised Word again, for this age, in 1946, He would be the same He was when He come in the beginning, the anointed Word for the age. Hebrews 13:8 throws it right back in your lap, and says, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." That's exactly right. And we... And He would stay with the Father's promised Word for this age. If Jesus comes, He would be just exactly what the Word said It would be in this age.

L-148   That's what Elijah was in his age. That's what Moses was in his age. That's what Noah was in his age. That's what, everywhere, every prophet ever come. And the--the Word, when It come in fulness, the entire Word made flesh among us, It did just exactly what It said It would do in that age.

L-149 If It come today, He would be just exactly Jesus Christ living out His promise of what He promised to do, just as the Word.
