<TITLE>11. Par 112-121</TITLE>L-112   When you go to church on Sunday morning, do you look for a fine organ, a well-dressed minister, a robed choir, a bunch of women with paint on? What do you look for, some kind of a society in the churches? You belong to this and that. What do you look for? That's about what you see. Listen here. No wonder, when you carry the flat Gospel, and see the Holy Ghost come in and make It manifest amongst an old-fashion bunch of people, it's foreign to you, it's hard for you to believe.

L-113 As I said the other night, about Joseph, "It was hard for him to think of Mary being pregnant. "How could she be that, a holy little woman like that, and she said Gabriel had visited her?" But it was so unusual. It was so unusual for a thing like that. It never happened before.

L-114 And that's where God dwells, in the unusual, to the carnal mind. But those who believe Him to be the same yesterday, today, and forever, all things are possible. Every word that He promised will be fulfilled. It's the unusual things that makes Him God. He goes to the unusual. He makes everything unusual to the people. Yes, sir. All right.

L-115 The woman looked on Him, and she saw the sign of the Messiah, God manifested in flesh. Many, the same people, looked and didn't see nothing.

L-116   The unbelievers in the days of Noah, what did they see? A fanatic, blundering away on what he called a boat. That's all they seen. When, the very boat itself was constructed by a vision from Almighty God. The very thing that he was pounding on, his message he was preaching, he was constructing by his message, bearing record that he was righteous and was looking forward. He lived what he preached.

L-117 That's what we ought to do today. No man has got a right to preach until he is filled with the Holy Ghost. Right! Theologians and mathematicians, and so forth, can explain It all away from you. But if a man has ever been on the back-side of the desert, in that sacred spot, and met God like Moses did, there is no man can take that away from him. He knows! He was the one was there. There is nobody can tell him anything about it. He was there. That's the reason Jesus commanded His disciples, "Don't preach until you go up to the city of Jerusalem and receive Power from on High, then you shall be witnesses of Me." That's what they saw. Yes, sir.

L-118   Noah. They couldn't see nothing; what did they do after doing that? Ignored the Word of God and brought judgment upon themselves. That's correctly.

L-119 I say, with Jack Moore, not quoting him, but saying this, for I think it's seasonable now. Jack Moore said, "If God don't sink America and burn her up, He'll have to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize for burning them." And that's the truth.

L-120 God is just. His Word has a just recompense, and He certainly will judge the world for its action against His Word today. No matter how many gatherings we have, how much religious gatherings we have, that isn't it. This Word!

L-121   Look, there is no more religious times than it was the day that when Jesus came on earth, oh, everything was swallowed up in religion and tradition, and it's all wrong!
