<TITLE>14. Par 143-152</TITLE>L-143 And so has the Pentecostal sacrifices, and all of our denominational cut-ups and carry-on, and our women and man doing the way they do, a form of godliness; work the music up, and somebody jump up-and-down a while; and it's all over, like a bucket of water throwed on it, if the Word of God happen to come forth and say something. What's the matter? Your sacrifices begin to stink before Jehovah.

L-144 And it was at that time that the Isaiah come on the scene, and told them, "I'll give you an everlasting sign, a virgin shall conceive." See, there you are. Not dead forms and creeds, no; but a living oracles, a living God that's raised from the dead, and a living among us.

L-145   Some of them, these churches like that, that believes these things, they deny there is such a thing as the Token. Well, a fellow tried to tell me, "Only the twelve apostles received the Holy Ghost. That's all there was. Yeah." Oh!

L-146 But we who believe the Word, know different, we know that this is the living Presence. For how do we know it's the living Presence of Christ, the Spirit that's among us? It does the same thing He does. That's the evidence of it. A vine is known by the fruit it bears. And then if that first vine come up and they wrote a Book of Acts behind it, and the same thing that Jesus done, the apostles done; then when that vine comes up again, it does the same thing. See, Hebrews 13:8 says He's the same, oh, my, proves that God has raised Him up for us, according to His promised Word. [Blank.spot.on.tape.--Ed.]

L-147   A seal of promise! Ephesians 4:30 says, "Grieve not the Holy Ghost of God, whereby you are sealed until the day of your redemption." Not till the next revival. "Until the day of your redemption!" Being baptized into It, according to First Corinthians 12. And in Him is the fulness, and no sin is recognized in Him. "He that's borned of God, does not commit sin. The seed of God remains in him, and he cannot sin." How can he, when the Token is there? The Token is the sign he has been accepted.

L-148 And, well, you say, "I sin." Well, then you never had the Token. See?

L-149 The Token is the barrier, shows that the price is paid. If Satan tries to hand it to you... Just think of this. If Satan tries to hand you some sickness, or tries to hand you something, you know what to do? Show him your Token. Sure, sickness strikes the Christian. Show him your Token, and prove to him that you're a purchased product of God. "Resist the devil, and he'll flee from you." Hold the Token over your unmovable faith in His promised Word.

L-150   God once gave a rainbow sign for a token. I'm closing. Gave a rainbow sign for a token. I've just got about ten minutes, and then having a prayer line. He ever remained true to that token. Did He? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] He does yet. All these thousands of years, He has never once, one time, failed to display it. He was true to that token, shows us that He ever... and never will fail to honor His tokens. I don't care if it's...

L-151 If Jesus don't come for ten thousand years, you have the Token, He has still got to honor It. No matter how many things changes, and whatever more, He has got to honor that Token. He said He would. All right. He expects us now to display His Token, over our God-given faith, to every unbelieving cult in the nation and in the world, that believes that signs and wonders don't follow the believers. And be true to this Token, and It shows that the fare has been paid and we've been accepted for the resurrection, having the Token Life inside of us.

L-152   That's a cutting Message, but it's the Truth. That's what we need, is Truth. God help us to know Truth. "You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." I claim that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I believe that God gives the Holy Ghost as a Token, right now, just before the exodus, of the--of the Bride going out of the church.
