<TITLE>12. Par 124-133</TITLE>L-124   "And then, look, there's businessmen here in our city. Jehovah requires a lamb. These businessmen are merchandise men. They sell, marketing, so they don't have--they don't have, raise lambs. So the priest made a way that they could clear their soul, according to the Word of God, and they built little cages out there in the courts. And they brought the man who sold the--the lambs, in here, and let these man who wants to offer a sin-offering for their soul, the requirement of Jehovah, when they go up to buy this lamb.

L-125 "Then what did this Guy do when He got up there? He turned over the money tables, and beat them out of there, trying to keep a man from getting his soul right with God. And what did He say about that godly old priest of yours? 'They were a bunch of snakes, and of the Devil.'" Talk about fruit of the Spirit? They had Him beat, by a long ways.

L-126   But what is the evidence of a believer? That will but believe the identified Word of the hour. Its always been that way. The people get It scrupled up, in all kinds of traditions, and religions, and denominations, and educations, and so forth. But God comes along, with His Word, and confirms It for the hour. That's the evidence.

L-127 Look upon Him and see. He said, "If I don't do the works of My Father, believe Me not. Search the Scriptures, in Them you think you've got Eternal Life; They testify Who I am. If I don't do what the Scripture says that I shall do, then don't believe Me." See? And still they didn't know it. And after walking with Him, and here identifying Hisself back after the resurrection, and showing that, that it was Him, by the Scriptures.

L-128   Still, you know, today, after that, Jesus has raised from the dead and has appeared to the people in the last days.

L-129 When, they said, years ago, when the Pentecostal group first started, "There was no such a thing as that." It's the fastest growing church in the world, the Pentecostal. It's the message they've had now for fifty years. They said, "It couldn't be done," but it was done, anyhow. They said, "There was no such a thing as the Holy Ghost." The people went on, received It, just the same. God promised He would pour out His Spirit. How you going to stop it, when He promised He would do it? They said, "Nobody will believe it," but they did believe it.

L-130 "God is able of these stones to rise children to Abraham, that will believe His Word."

L-131   They went right on. They become a mighty-est church there is in the land. Our Sunday Visitor, the Catholic Visitor, put out, said not long ago, that, "The Pentecostal church is the fastest growing church of all the organizations." Said, "Their church witnessed a million conversions in last year, and the Pentecostal had a million five hundred thousand last year." That don't include mine, Roberts, and them other meetings like that. See? It's just those who are brought in as--as membership. Some of them, they don't know where they go to, in these evangelistic meetings. But they registered a million five hundred thousand converts in a year, witnessed by the Catholic church. See?

L-132 They said it couldn't be done, and now the Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists, are seeking for It. And the Pentecostals are blind enough not to see the hour. Don't you know? At that seventh watch, when the sleeping virgins said, "Come, give us some of your Oil." And when he, they said, "We just got enough for ourself." And while they were trying to buy It, the Bridegroom come, and they went in. There we are. See?

L-133   "And fools," could He say again, "slow of heart to believe all the Scripture says about this day; to believe that this Laodicea church age, that He's put outside the church, and because, 'We're rich, have need of nothing'"?
