<TITLE>15. Par 134-145</TITLE>L-134 Now, God, the Word, in the beginning He was independent from all other, everything else, all other people. Now, I don't mean to say this to be different. God is a segregationalist. You know that? You talk about intregration? God's a segregationalist. He certainly does. He separates His people from the world. He separated Israel, His nation. He is trying to separate His church from the world, but the church wants to go on with the world. But His people is still segregated, segregated to Him. Who is He? The Word.

L-135   How can a man have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit wrote the Word, and a man have the baptism of the Holy Spirit and deny the Word? How can the Holy Spirit in you deny Its own Word that was set forth for you? I can't understand it. It's got to agree with the Word. And if your spirit in you won't punctuate every one of God's promises with "amen," there is something wrong.

L-136 Brother Fred Sothmann or somebody here tonight, quoted, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." He's the Word. That, sure. He's always the same, see, and your spirit has to punctuate that with "amen."

L-137 "Oh, He, in one way He is." In every way, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-138   Now we notice that God begin to make Him a--a Bride for Christ. So... And the Bride must be identified with Him and in Him, because it is part of Him. Now, the Bride is part of Him. She is part of Him. The Word for that day, the Bride becomes part of that Word, for it's Christ. Now, you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] We have to be in Christ. In Christ, we have to be of Christ, in Christ, part of Christ.

L-139 What is a woman, when she takes a man, or a man takes a woman? That woman has to be part of him. They're no longer two. They're one.

L-140 And when God and Christ became one, they were One. Cause, God was the Word, and the Word was made flesh. The flesh and the Word became One. And when the church becomes Christ's Bride, She and the Gospels are the same.

L-141 How can you say, then, "The days of miracles is past"? How can you say, then, "He's not the same yesterday, today, and forever"? How can you say, "Those things is for an apostle or a disciple, or somebody in another day," when you are part of Him?

L-142 When, He said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never fail." How about Revelations 22, when He got through writing the Book? He said, "I testify that if any man shall add one word, or take one Word out of It, his part will be taken from the Book of Life."

L-143   How we going to come to Heaven, then, to say, "Well, I believe this, but I don't believe That"? You've got to be the full Word, for you are part of Him. That's how God is trying to make His Church today, not by a creed.    And they're trying to force us into that, folks. You can see it coming. The handwriting is on the wall. Won't be too long till we're going to be a world Church. And every church is going to have to fall right into that, or stand the circumstances. Well, are you ready to stand that? You better not do it just because you think it's the right thing.

L-144 You better have Christ in you, 'cause that Word is Eternal, and that Word is what will raise you up again. You become part of that Word. You're identified with the Word.
Today, you say, "I'm a Christian."

L-145   "What denomination you belong to?" Well, that don't have one thing to do with Christianity.
