<TITLE>06. Par 50-64</TITLE>L-50   Now, all these things are in there. And we find... Sometime I'd like to come to Shreveport where we just have about two or three weeks just to take thirty minutes a night and just on a teaching, see, just stay right in the Word, these secret passages, see, where we could find out just how to get in. And you just watch, you follow God's direction, there's only one key to each door. That's right. And no other key, no matter how much it looks like it, God has no skeleton key; just got one key. And now, you've got to have that key, or the door won't unlock. No matter how sincere you are, you still can't unlock that door.

L-51   Now, how many was at yesterday's breakfast, the other morning? All right, I think most, at least ninety percent of you, or more. To background this, what I'm going to say, David was anointed king (anointed of God), the greatest king Israel ever had, outside of the Lord Jesus (which is God) the Anointed One. David is his son... or Jesus was David's son according to the lineage, the flesh. And He's to set on David's throne as one... inherit back, the--the prince always inherits the--the king's throne.

L-52 Notice, now, that David being anointed, yet with the anointing he did, he got out of the will of the Lord with that anointing; and all the people, not taking the run of the Scripture or the key to this revelation, all of them anointed too, they all, together, shouting and praising God for a thing that looked exactly right: to bring the Word of God back to the house of God. But David was king, not prophet. See? He... There was a prophet in the land to do it by, and God dishonored the whole move because they never used the right key. The door didn't unlock. And now we must remember that, and keep that in mind. There is... Everything of God, one certain way it's to be done, and that settles it. Now, there, God had a one certain Church that He meets the people in, and He will receive you in that Church and no other church.

L-53   I've said this because I've been so many time misunderstood, and people has told me...
I say, "Are you a Christian?"
"I'm Baptist."
"Are you a Christian?"
"I'm a Methodist."
"Are you a Christian?"
"I'm a Pentecostals."

L-54 Now, see, that doesn't mean one thing to God. You're just progging with the wrong key. But there is a right key, there is one where God... God never promised to meet you at the Methodist, or at the Baptist, or at Pentecostals, or no other denomination. He. don't even consider the denominations, they're against Him.

L-55 On that long Message, I'll get It at the Tabernacle pretty soon. And then Brother Jack will hear It, and then you can see what you want to do about It, 'cause It'll be taped.

L-56   Now, people act like that God is obligated just to meet them on the basis of their theology. Now, people act like that. They won't associate even with one another. The Trinity or the Pentecost won't associate with the Oneness, neither will the Oneness associate with the Trinity. The Methodist won't with the Baptist, because one is a legalist and the other's a Calvinist, so they have no fellowship at all. And they wind the people's minds around so bad that they even against one another.

L-57   I went to pray, sometime ago, in a hospital room. There was a lady laying there very sick, going under an operation, they expected her to die. Another lady laying there, I was cared to, pray for her. I said to her, "Would you mind just a moment if I pray?"

L-58 And she, said, "Pull that curtain!"

L-59 And I said, "I'm sorry." I said, "I was just going to ask prayer."

L-60 She said, "Pull that curtain!"

L-61 I said, "Yes, ma'am." Her and her son setting there, a regular little Ricky look. And I said, "Well, aren't you a Christian?"

L-62 She said, "We are Methodist!"

L-63 Said, "Well, I never asked you that, I asked you if you was a 'Christian.'" See?

L-64 And so she said, "Pull that curtain!"
