<TITLE>21. Par 217-224</TITLE>L-217 Now let it be known this day, Lord, that You are God, that You have never changed Your mind about one Word that You ever said. And You're the same yesterday, today, and forever, and the one--the one and only way that God has provided. The only Man that God ever put His Name in, was His Own Son Who carried His Name, Jesus; God, Jehovah, Saviour, Emmanuel, the Door to the sheepfold; He that Was, Which Is, and Shall Come; the Root and the Offspring, both Root and Offspring of David; the Morning Star, the Lily of the Valley. O God, how wonderful! No wonder Isaiah said, "Counsellor, Prince of Peace, The mighty God, Everlasting Father." Oh, we have no other Father but You, Lord. You are our Father. You are our Mother. You are all that we are, all that we could ever be. We won't see nothing else but Jesus glorified!

L-218 Father, I might have made a poor out of this, this afternoon, but take the semblance of my heart, and hear me, Dear God. And let it be said, this day, that Jesus Christ was glorified right here in this temple. Grant it, Father, for we ask it in His Name, and as I humbly wait with this audience, to see You move by Your Spirit. Amen.

L-219   Now I want you to do this one thing for me. I want to ask you one solemn question. I want you to answer me as if it was the last time that you would ever answer anybody in your life. Do you believe it's the Truth? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Do you believe there is not a church or a denomination could be recognized in the Presence of God? Do you believe that? ["Amen."] There is not a one. Only those that are borned into Jesus Christ, take on His Name! That's right.

L-220 You take on His Name when you are borned in there, not by water baptism. Although you can be baptized in His Name, but that don't take on His Name. You take on His Name by birth, not by water. See, you're baptized into the Name of Jesus Christ, yes, sir, into fellowship; but you are baptized by the Holy Ghost, into Jesus Christ. So you can be baptized a hundred times, any way you wanted to, the other way, it'd make no difference. But when you're once baptized by the Holy Ghost, into the Body of Christ, you become a son or a daughter of God, and, "Every Word is true!" And, then, He did that for that purpose.

L-221   As I said the other day, when God moved and struck the sun across the earth, He knowed them palm trees and everything was laying down under that earth. He... They were part of the earth at that time, so were you.

L-222 And when He raised up the Son of God, on Easter morning, and sent forth the Holy Spirit, it was to quicken, also, that seed of Eternal Life, that He foreknew before the foundation of the world, that would be here. He knew this microphone would act like this this evening. He knew that you would have the attitude you've got. He's infinite. You can't imagine it with your mind, you've just got to accept it. But, let me say this one thing, that same God stands here, this afternoon, in His people.

L-223   Whether you're a Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, whatever you might be, don't you trust in some organization. Cause, they cannot be an organization... It's made up of too many different doctrines. It's made up of among... You have to be an individual, to God. You have to be an individual. God deals with you, not in your church. You are to live a right kind of a life in your church or congregation where you're worshiping at, you should live that kind of life that you should be. But you see, they draw creeds, and so forth, that you can't even enter their doors if you don't believe that. So how can God ever come in there, when His Word constantly is being manifested?

L-224   How did Luther know about these baptism and--and restoration of the Spirit, when he was back in that day? The plant hadn't growed like that. Neither did Wesley know it. And neither does the Pentecostal know what's going on today. Same thing, grows right away from you. That's right. It has in every age, and it always will.
