<TITLE>17. Par 185-192</TITLE>L-185   Well, there's got to be, hallelujah, there's got to be, brother, there somewhere, God's manifested Word of God today. And that's the same thing, for He spoke of these days and He said what would take place in these days. He has already told us. We know what's going to take place. And we see it being manifested in you, then you're in God's Church. Outside of that, you could call yourself, "Methodist, Baptist," or anything else, it'll never work. There was only one meeting place, that's in Christ Jesus. Oh, today, oh, how today that I would that everybody would see that, see how to get in, being baptized. The Bride is part of her Husband. The Church is a part of the Word, the manifestation.

L-186   Now what church are you in? Are you in a denomination? If you are, I'll strictly tell you now, you're in Laodicea. But if you're in Christ, you're a new creature, and you're in the Church of the living God, with the manifestation of the very same things that He did in His day will be coming back here in this day, doing the same thing that He said It would do. Then, that is the real Church. You get into It by spiritual baptism, not by joining, not by some more, but by being baptized by the Holy Ghost into His Body. All right. It's God's only provided way that He has left for us to do, is to be baptized into His Body, by His Spirit.

L-187   Jesus said, in Saint John 14:12, "He that believeth, while he is in Me!" No wonder people say the days of miracles is passed, no wonder they say these things. "He that believeth in Me, not believe on Me, but believe in Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Why? It's His Life. It's His dynamics in His mechanics, that's in you, that fires it off, makes it go and do the works that it promised do. Or, my life in Him, has quickened me by His Spirit, to make His Word, which is the mechanics, work by His dynamics. Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-188   Now also in Mark the 17th chapter, the 30th verse, of Saint Mark. Listen close. Jesus promised these things in the last day, that He's "the same yesterday and forever." He promised, in Malachi 4, that He would "turn the hearts of the people, in the last days, back to the Faith of the fathers." He promised that. He promised, so many places in the Bible, the things that He would do. "Yet a little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet you will see Me; I'll be with you, in you always, even to the end of the world." And notice in Saint Luke again, 17:30, "As it was in the days of Sodom!"

L-189 You know what happened in Sodom? Look at California; not only California, the United States; not only in the United States, but the world.

L-190   Look at this teen-age insane! Why, we had a... I told you the other day, they was taking an analysis there of the schools in Arizona where I live, and eighty percent of the children in school is mentally retarded. What will their children be? We can't have another generation. We're at the end. Jesus said these things would come.

L-191 Look at all the televisions and things getting these fictitious things in order. It'll come a time, I predict, that people will be completely, totally insane, the world will be. The Bible speaks of such hideous sights as they show in movies today of some prehistoric creature's age, that's lived in the earth for so many thousands and millions of years, hatch and come forth to some... That's just a minor thing, to what's going to happen. When hell is opened and the Devil comes out with all of his mysterious things, of women... or locust with hair like women, and teeth like lions. Why, the world will be completely, totally insane. It's not but just about one degree from it now.

L-192   Oh, for the glory of God, for the Coming of the Lord Jesus, for the Holy Ghost, for the know-so, for the living Presence of the living God!
