<TITLE>06. Par 53-64</TITLE>L-53 When you brethren first started, your reformers, the pentecostal move, many years ago, when the restoration of the gifts, the speaking in tongues, and things come into the church, God restoring the gifts back into the church. You remember, you all had a reformation, too. Your fathers did. It was hard to pull away from Prebysterian, Lutheran, Baptist, and so forth, in that reformation. The Nazarenes were their bloom in them times, so was the Pilgrim Holiness; they rejected your message. What happened to them? You see where they're at today? Now, remember, we can do the same thing. Oh, yeah.

L-54   When a church ever organizes, a message ever organizes, it goes to the shelf and never rises again. Now, you're historians here; I know one of you, see. And that's right. It never rises again, when it organizes.

L-55 Catholicism was the first organization; called, in the Bible, a "whore," she was, "THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS," the same thing, organizations. You see where it's all winding up again, up here in the Ecumenical Council?

L-56 Now I'm put out because of that, amongst the organizations. Them brethren doesn't realize what they're doing. It's not me; I'm not put out. They're putting the Word out. The Bible said, in this Laodicea Age, that Christ was on the outside of the church, knocking, trying to get back in. There never was an age like that; on the outside.

L-57 Cause, there's going to be no more church ages. This is the end of it. The Laodicea was the last age, and Pentecost is that Laodicea Age, and we know that, there'll never be no more above Pentecost. That's it.

L-58   Like a man. Another, no creature ever come up from its evolution, coming up into higher specie than--than a man, because a man is in the image of the God Who created him. There'll never be nothing higher. This is... The Word wouldn't let it go any farther, 'cause He is the Word.

L-59 And neither can the Word climb above any Laodicea Church Age. And we see them, every one, there. Jesus on the outside of the church, trying to get back in. See?

L-60 That's what they done to Him when He was here, first. He is the Word. And, the Word, He was the Word. They say, "We got the Word." The Pharisees said, "We got the Word!" But, the real true Word, they was rejecting It.

L-61 That's the reason Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, They that testify of Me."

L-62   Today, we can look back and say, "How were they so blind?" Wonder if, sometime, won't look back and say, "How were we so blind?" See? See? It has to be that way, brethren. It's too bad, but it has to be that. Don't say "too bad," I don't mean it that way. God knows what He is doing. See? They don't, they... It's the Word they are rejecting, the Word made manifest, the promise that's made manifest, the promise for this day. And the reason it's done, is because people are living in a glare of another light.

L-63 The greatest robbery that was ever performed, was in England, not long ago, was done by a false light, a seven-million-dollar robbery. The world has never heard of such a robbery, Scotland Yard couldn't catch up with it. That was the greatest robbery the world ever had, was performed by a false light.

L-64 May I say this, brethren, with love in my heart for man. God knows that. The greatest robbery the church ever had was a false light, too, living in the glare of some other age. What Luther, Martin Luther, Wesley, or what some of our full Pentecostal fathers said. See? That ain't today. Here is the promise for the day, here is the Word. And you say, "Well, you got It interpreted wrong." God is His Own interpreter, when He manifests It.
