<TITLE>23. Par 181-191</TITLE>L-181 You had to become part of the dance to get out of the dance. You have to become part of the ball game, something you're interested in, to get in the ball game.

L-182   You have to become part of the Word, to know God's Sympathy. His Sympathy is when It's playing, you understand, you're marching with the beat of the time. You're watching for it, "The works that I do, shall you also; greater than this shall you do," these last days. Oh, my! The great changing of the time. We get into the beat, beat of the Word. Find His purpose, the hour that we're living. Get into the rhythm of it, how does... how He does it. If you get into the Word, you find out how He did it at the beginning, then you know how He's doing it all the time.

L-183 How did He send His Message, first? What does He do? He doesn't deal with organizations. He never did, so He doesn't do it now. That's where, if you're listening to a rhythm of that Council of Churches, you're in darkness. But if you're listening to the rhythm of the Word!

L-184 What did they kill Jesus for? "You, being a Man, make yourself God."

L-185   You got my Message on The Three Types Of Believers. How that one stood there and... There was the make-believers, they followed along for a while, making out like they believed. And one day Jesus said to them, said, "What will you think when the Son of man, which is from Heaven, ascends back into Heaven? I come from Heaven, going back to Heaven."

L-186 Why, the multitude walked away, and said, "This is a hard saying."

L-187 Then there come the make-believers that was walking with Him, the seventy, when they got something hard, they didn't see that it... they didn't know the Sympathy. They didn't know the Promise, that this Child was Jehovah, "His Name shall be called Counsellor, Prince of Peace, The mighty God." And when He said, "When I ascend up to Heaven from whence I come from!"

L-188 "Well," they said, "this is a hard Saying. Who can understand It? We know You're just a Man. We eat with You, we sleep with You, we're in the woods with You, we're by the waters with You. Well, You're merely a Man, and say the Son of man goes back up where He comes from? What will You say? This is a hard Saying!" See, they didn't know the beat. They didn't know the rhythm of the Sympathy of God's Word, that He was God manifested in the flesh, for He was the--the vindicated Word Light of the hour. They didn't get it. They said, "This is a hard Thing. Who can understand This?" And they turned away. They didn't know the beat, see.

L-189   Then we notice again, there was Judas, the make-believer, or the unbeliever, that waited till he found a fault. Then He turned to the disciples, said just the twelve, and Judas was one of them, He said, "You want to go, too?"

L-190 Then Peter said, "Who would we go to, Lord? You're the Composer." Amen. "You know how it's going on. You're the only One that has the Word of Life. Where could we turn to? We couldn't go back to be a Pharisee, or a Sadducee, or a Heridian," or whatever it might be. "You're the One that has the Word of Life. We have no other place to go. We've, we've joined ourself to this great Concert. We are in here, we're listening, and we're in the rhythm. We believe that you are the Son of God, the manifested Jehovah. We're sure of this! We don't know what these great trials and troubles, and afflictions and things, and You saying You're 'going up to be offered up,' and all this, that, the other, and 'on the third day,' all this stuff. We don't understand That. But we're in, listen to God's Sympathy, we're a part of it. And we're waiting to see what takes place next, and we're following close with You." Oh, my! That's what I want to do. Promise.

L-191   How did He begin? Just like He did at the beginning. See? He never did send His Message to an organization. He never sent his group a Message, He sent one man. In the days of Noah, it was Noah. In the days of Moses, it was Moses.
