<TITLE>21. Par 142-149</TITLE>L-142   Forgive me if I hurt you. No, don't you do it. I'm doing this in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Come back! Stand, you gallant man who see David standing yonder! Jesus Christ, a fugitive from His church, barred out by their creeds. There's a fresh Fountain hanging yonder. Amen. There's power to make this Word live again, it's prophesied in this day to come to pass. God said it would come to pass. It's got to come to pass. You'll never do it in the army you're in now. You're garrisoned yourself, Pentecost, right around with the rest of the organizations, cutting it into a creed.

L-143   O men of God, where's that Sword? Our Lord desires a fresh drink. I don't care if it's life or death, let's cut through this thing. It's so hard standing by yourself. I'm calling for men to stand by me, stand with the Word! What that Word says, do it just the way the Word said. I don't care what anything else says, stay It that way, for That's the only thing that will cut. Let's get to Bethlehem, the true Water of God.

L-144 "If a man abide in Me and I in him, if ye abide in Me and My Words in you." Abiding, not just jumping from place to place, and swapping your fellowship card from a oneness to a twoness and a threeness, and back to a Presbyterian, Lutheran. "Ye abide in Me," and He is the Word, "My Words abide in you! Don't be afraid of eight hundred or eight million. I'll stand by your side. I desire to drink from that Well again."

L-145   God's going to have a people that will drink from that Well! Hallelujah! You might think I'm crazy, and maybe I am, then I'm crazy about Jesus Christ and His Word. If I have to be called a fool, let me be called a fool for His Word. I've never been against the men in them organizations. I'm against that system that's barring the Word of God out. Let's cut, warriors. Stand by us. Let's go into that Well. He is our Bethlehem.

L-146 These old cisterns, the World Council of Churches organizing now. Let's restore the fresh Word of God, not a denomination. Let's not take a creed, that's old stagnated cisterns that fell forty years ago, twenty years ago, thirty years ago, or either last year. I want God's Word that's promised for today. That's the drink He wants me to have, this Word today! It's a little Bethlehem, it's rejected.

L-147   It's, I know, it's just like, you think, "Well, if my..." Yes, that's right, they thought He should be born in Jerusalem. They thought He should be born where their denomination heads was. But He turned by all that. He come to the name Bethlehem, for that's what He was. Hallelujah! He's not coming for Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian or Pentecostals. He's coming for the Bride, Jesus Christ. That's who He's coming for. It may seem strange to you, but believe It!

L-148   See, these types, they can come no other way but by the Word. That's the only place He could be born, is by that Bethlehem. That's why it had to be that little humble place. That's the way it has to be this morning, has to be the same way by the promised Word. Yes, sir. The Philistine Council of Churches now organizing, garrisoned everywhere around our Bethlehem. Around this Christmas, they're garrisoned around there, everywhere, it's all decorated up with worldly tinsel. "Oh, we'll bring world peace." Pope Luther, John, or whatever his name is, he'll get together, and all the great bishops of the church, the United Council of Churches and the World Council all coming together. How can two walk together unless they be agreed? Amen!

L-149 There's only One you can walk with, that's Jesus Christ. How--how can you walk with Him? When you agree with Who He is, the Word! Don't you let that leave you.
