<TITLE>18. Par 143-152</TITLE>L-143 Change your filter tonight, preacher. Don't draw that denominational nicotine into your system, of dogmas and creeds, which Jesus said, "Whosoever shall add one word to It, or take one Word from It." When you tell your congregation it's right for them women to do that, and those man to do that, and all these things, that and the other; as long as they stay true to this and do that, and keep these creeds and things, aren't you ashamed of yourself?
"Blind Pharisees," Jesus said.

L-144   And as Jesus cried, "Blind Pharisees," the Holy Spirit in my own heart tonight cries, "Blind Laodicea! How oft God would have give you a revival! But now your time has come; it's too late now. How did you laugh and make fun of the people that God sent to you! But now your time has come. Oh, United States, United States, how that God would have hovered you as a--a hen does its brood, but you would not." Now this Voice is going from coast to coast, from north to south, and east to west. How God would have hovered you, but you would not! Now your time has come.

L-145 Nations are breaking. The world is falling apart. Fifteen-hundred-mile chunk of it, three- or four-hundred-miles wide, will sink, hundred... or maybe forty miles down into that great fault out yonder, one of these days, and waves will shoot plumb out to the state of Kentucky. And when it does, it'll shake the world so hard that everything on top of it will shake down.

L-146 Oh, hide me in the Rock of ages! God, let me, let me. Breathe upon me, Lord. Spirit of the living God, breathe on me. Let me take God's Filter and live under That, Lord. Let me breathe the fresh air of the Holy Ghost into my lungs, in my soul each day, that I sin not against You, O Lord. Breathe on me, Holy Spirit, breathe on me! I...

L-147   Let me plant the Word of God in my heart, and purpose there that I'll not turn to the right hand or to the left hand, away from It, but I'll live true to It all the days of my life. And, O Father God, then send down upon me the Holy Spirit of Life, to quicken those Words to me, that I might manifest Jesus Christ before those who are before me, to looking for it to happen. That's my prayer.

L-148 Oh, my! Notice how they do today in those churches. Sucking the people through those denominational filters, into the ecumenical council. Why? Why? For it gives them the desire of their heart, organization. They have a taste for organization. They'll do it.

L-149 Every time God sent them a revival, and, they, what'd they do? They organize it. Is that right? So they got their kind of filter, because they've got a great taste. And now God is going to give them their desire of their taste. He's going to give them... They're sucking them right into the ecumenical council, and then they get their organizational taste then. They got it coming.

L-150   Oh, church of Laodicea, don't be deceived in this age, by their deceptions. Oh, Pentecost, you who have gone into Laodicea, you who are part of Laodicea, the church dead; through Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian, just a ritualistic form. But you Pentecostals who could still once in a while say "amen"; who can play a lot of music up on a platform, and have bobbed-haired women dancing all over the place, and still do believe in Divine healing; how oft God would have took you, but you took another filter, a denominational filter. How oft God would have took you!

L-151 How deceiving it was! Matthew 24:24, Jesus said that the... "It would deceive the very Elected if it was possible." How close that you are, just like Eve, just leaving off one or two little things that you wouldn't receive, because you're organized and can't receive It. That's all it takes. Just might as well take the whole thing, "For to offend in the least, is guilty of the whole." Oh!

L-152   Pentecost, Pentecost, pass thy thinking through God's Filter, not your denominational dreams, and you will come out with a holy man's taste, the true baptism of the Holy Spirit.
