<TITLE>13. Par 110-121</TITLE>L-110 I wish I could take the Pentecostal world and back them up in a corner somewhere, let them think like that for a while, just think these reasonable things. Where are we now with a great big bulk of organization? Every one against the other one. The Oneness against the Twoness, the Twoness against the Threeness, and so forth, all, just that's the way it is. That shouldn't be that way. Shouldn't be that way. We should come back, and come together and settle it upon the basis of THUS SAITH THE LORD.

L-111 What's the matter with the prophets in the church? The Word of the Lord is supposed to come to the prophets. And if a prophet that claims to be a prophet, and will deny this Truth in the Bible, according to the Word, he is not a prophet. Now, we're supposed to have these gifts to set us in order, keep us in order. But there, somehow or another, we got away from it all. And they stand, backed in a corner.

L-112   Here stood Samson, standing in the corner, thinking of all that had been. And these Philistines standing up there, with their arms around these women, looking down, belching and drunk, and celebrating the victory over Jehovah's servant. Oh, my, don't that just send something through you, to think of that, the victory over Jehovah's plan! Yes, standing there with a fish god. Dagon was the fish god. And they was burning sacrifice. Human lives were taken, a little child had to die for the sacrifice, run a sword through it, its heart, for the sacrifice. And there they were, having this big celebration over the victory over Jehovah.

L-113 And the church tonight, like a bunch of Philistines, is gloating over the idea that a Council of Churches, after a while, will shut out every church that don't belong to it. Samson, don't never bob your hair! Stay right with that Word. I don't care what happens, you stay right there with that Word. Don't get mixed up in that.

L-114   Samson begin to think, "Wonder if there is a possibility?" Now he said, "I know my hair has growed out, but I'm blind. There could be a possibility of another revival. There is a possibility."

L-115 He said to the little boy, "Put my hands upon the post. Is these the posts that the whole building is fastened on?"
"Yes."
"And you say all the kings and celebrities up on top?"
"Yes."

L-116 "I'm tired. You've had to do, made me do so many tricks and things! Will you just put my hands upon the post?"

L-117 And he put his hands upon the post, and stood in between them, maybe like in this order. And he stood there with his hands against the posts. The Philistines, celebrating and having such a big time, they forgot to watch him. Oh, my!

L-118 But he begin to think, "God is still God. I know He is. I've tried Him. I've put Him to the test. I know He still remains God. It's me that's wrong. I'm the one that sinned." They didn't notice the tears running out of them blinded sockets, dripping down off of his chin. They didn't notice his lips moving. "Lord, I've done wrong. Let me die with the Philistines."

L-119   He wanted God's Word manifested before that Jezebel, more than he wanted his own life. Oh, if that desire could come to the church again! Yeah. He wasn't praying for a new order, new denomination, but that the Word of God might be made known again; the promise that he once had, might come back to him again. He was aware of what would happen if his prayer was answered, but he was ready and in dead earnest. Oh, if the church could only get like that! Then he cried out!

L-120 Slowly he was praying, "It's possible, Lord. It is possible. I stand here, all my big frame is still together. I'm here, my hair has growed out. But I couldn't see how to whip them no more, because my eyes is blind. I couldn't see where I was going. But it's possible that--that You would let it happen again, Lord, to show Your power."
He screamed out, "Once more, Lord, just once more!"

L-121 Oh, if the church could only cry that, "Once more, Lord, let us see Your power!"
