<TITLE>08. Par 51-58</TITLE>L-51   That's the only way you're going to ever get any difference in the church today, it's got to have a change of nature. And instead of some ecclesiastical system leading the preachers around, it'll take the Holy Ghost, through the Word, to lead them back to that God-fearing spirit again. That's right. If the dog vomit and it made him sick at his stomach, the first time, won't it make him sick again? And if God called us out of such a mess, because... well, won't it do the same thing again? Then we go right back into it, the same thing. It should never be done.

L-52   This Jezebel system, now blind spiritually, I'm saying, to the Word of God, joining themselves right into the Council of Churches. Everything, our great evangelical teaching, we have to forfeit that, to be an organization. Cause, all organizations that isn't in this Council of Churches, I got the paper on it, that even if your church is not in this Council of Churches, in time of trouble, they can use your church to store ammunition or anything they want to. And if any man is caught having a prayer for anybody, outside of affiliating with this Council of Churches, can be shot, as a federal offense. That's right. I got the papers on it, from Washington. You, they're going to force you into it. That's why I've been against this organizational system. That's it. I had to keep it quiet about it being the mark of the beast, but it's late enough now till you can know it's the truth. Uh-huh. See? It is. It's exactly that.

L-53   Now what has it done? It's brought the church, stripped of its power, nothing but name, it pictures it exactly in Revelation 3, the Laodicea Church Age, rejected Christ, and on the outside. Exactly. Why? It did just exactly like its mother did, went back to the denominational. Pentecost, born out of denominational, born out of that; and as soon as they got a bunch of kids come in from some school, and they had to have seminaries and things, instead of upper rooms. And now, many of the big churches, a man has to pass a psychiatrist's test before he is permitted to be an overseas missionary. The first Church didn't have to test, a psychiatrist's test, but they had to go through the test of the Blood of Jesus Christ, what made the difference.

L-54   Notice, Samson give away his secret to Delilah. She finally loved him and patted him, and told him he was a nice man, how she loved him, until she found where the secret was, then she bobbed off the secret.

L-55 And that's exactly the way old mother Jezebel has done the Protestant church, has cropped in. And now they're compromising on a few little doctrines they said they have, so they can have unity over the world. And the first place the church got her locks bobbed off was at Nicaea, and she is going to bob them again since she's been here. That's her secret, is the Word. "If ye abide in Me and My Word in you, you can ask what you will, it'll be done for you." See, that's where they lose their secret. Now look at them, defeated just like Samson was. Ministers, instead of being born...

L-56   As David duPlessis said one time, "God don't have pentecostal grandchildren."

L-57 But that's the way you say, "My mother was pentecostal. She had an experience. She did this. My father did so-and-so." That ain't got nothing to do with you. You've got to have the same thing.

L-58 Now we got seminaries that hatch out our ministers, and we're building bigger ones all the time. And--and we got students of psychology. And that's alright if you want to teach psychology, but I don't care about psychology. I just want to know Jesus Christ, that's all I--I... all I want to know, is Him. Now we find that we've got it. It certainly has to bring to pass the prophecy of Second Timothy 3, where they'd be, "lukewarm," you know, "heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than of God, and trucebreakers, incontinent, and--and fierce, and despisers of those that are good."
