<TITLE>14. Par 133-143</TITLE>L-133   Watch the Light. It come from the East, going west. We're at the West Coast. It had three stages, didn't it? It had three stages. It crossed the water, three times. From Paul, and across the Mediterranean, come into Germany, Germany lit up with Luther; crossed the English Channel, over into the United States and now... over into--to England; then, England, It come across the Pacific, to the United States. And she has worked her way down through Luther's message, on down through, until the last part of It is here on the West Coast again.

L-134   And from the ripening of the grain, from all the way back from Luther, all the way down through the age, it ought to be the fulness of the Gospel now, the Power of God to ripen. The Light that's been shown through justification, sanctification, the pentecostal age, ought to ripen the Bride Tree for the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ; that Christ could be manifested in His Church, as one Person, Him and His Wife, Him and His Bride. Amen. This is the hour we're living. This is the Light of the day. Walk in It! "Be saved, all the ends of the earth."

L-135   Church glare of this day was very deceiving, Jesus said in Matthew 24. He said, "It would deceive the very elected if possible." See, not Luther wouldn't receive... Luther couldn't deceive a Methodist. A Methodist couldn't deceive a Pentecostal. That's right, see, but what about the Bride? That's what puts the Pentecostals eyes out. Yeah. See, you went back to your creed, to your form, organized, and got a bunch of man telling you what to do.

L-136   The Bible promises these things. We need men and women that's filled with the Spirit of God.

L-137 If you say you've got the Spirit of God in you, and God makes a certain promise in Here, how can that Holy Ghost punctuate It, say, "Well, it might be all right for another age. We don't believe It that way"? That ain't the Holy Spirit.

L-138 The man that's filled with God, Him and the Word is one. Certainly, it is. It's a product of a union, a union between God and man.

L-139   How can a woman, that's going to be a husband of a man, contrary, doing the things that he don't want her to do? How can we flirt with the world, and denominations and organizations, and turn down the Light of the hour? How can it be done, brother and sister? With godly love and respect for each one of you, how can we accept these things? How can we hear It? It throws right back in our lap again.

L-140 Don't condemn Lutherans; because, they condemned Catholic. Don't condemn Wesley; 'cause, he condemned Lutheran. See, like that, when you condemn the Thing that's happening today and turn from It; when you see your churches go into this great ecumenical move, and so forth like that, leading you, every one, into the mark of the beast, and you've got it. Many honest-hearted people walk right straight into it.
You say, "They're good people, holy people."

L-141 So was those priests. If I had to take the holiness of Jesus Christ, or the fruits of the Spirit, many of you have went on this... Now, no disregard to it. I believe every Word of it.

L-142 Many will say, "Oh, I spoke in tongues. I got It." That ain't It. No, sir.
Many of them say, "The fruit of the Spirit, that's It." Is It?

L-143   Let's put Jesus on trial (God, forgive me) for a moment. Let's bring you up, and I'll be the priest. I'll say to you, "This young Fellow, come into the city, called Jesus of Nazareth. Don't you listen to Him. We believe the fruit of the Spirit. Now look at here, your kind old priest. He, his grandfather, great-grandfather, all were priests. He sacrificed, all his young life. He stayed right in the seminary. He watched, he believed, he--he done everything they ever taught him. He knows the Scripture, from A to Z. He even writes It, himself. Writes the Scriptures, himself, the scribes does. And here he is, a grand man! You know he is.
