<TITLE>10. Par 121-132</TITLE>L-121 You are here because your name was placed on the Lamb's Book of Life before there was even a foundation of the world. That's exactly right. You're a gene, a spiritual gene out of your Heavenly Father, a part of God's Word. That be so, as I've said, then you was with Jesus when He was here because He was the Word: you suffered with Him, died with Him, buried with Him, and rose with Him, and now setting in Heavenly places in Him!

L-122   Notice, David thought everything was fine, and he consulted all these people, and they every one begin to dance and shout and scream. They had all their religious motions that there was, but still it wasn't God's will to go down and bring the Word of God back to the house of God. But, you see, God always (in all ages) works through one way. His first decision is His only decision, because He's perfect in His decisions. He never does nothing except He first reveals it to His servants, the prophets. That's exactly.

L-123 That's why this, the church age that we live in. There's no church, no Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostals, or anything else, can ever put this Church into the Bride. It'll have to be the answering of Malachi 4, for God to send a prophet to be revealed to, 'cause that's the only way. Our churches denominate and throw the thing into a mess and huddle, just like they've always been, and God always sends the prophets.

L-124   And there was Nathan standing in the land, a vindicated prophet before God, and he wasn't even consulted.

L-125 And they went down there and caused the life of a honest man, and so forth, and took the ark. Instead of putting it on the shoulders of the Levites, to pack it, they put it on a cart to pack it. Altogether messed up!

L-126 You see, if you don't go according to the--the will of God, and the way that God has give us to go, they always get It messed up and take It off in some organization, denomination, some message, and there you go. See? It's always been done that way.

L-127   That's the same thing that this boy was confronted with. He come in; he had been a--a--a member of maybe the Pharisees or Sadducees, or some great order of that day. He was religious as he could be. He said, "I've observed these commandments I've been taught, since I was a youth." See? And Jesus loved him for it. But he refused to be guided, he refused to accept the real leadership of Jesus Christ to give him Eternal Life.

L-128 Notice, he believed there was something different than what he had, or he would have never said, "Good Master, what must I do now?"

L-129 See, he wanted to do something himself. That's the way we do, we want to do something ourself. The Gift of God is a free gift. God give It to you, you don't do one thing for It. He ordained It to you, and you're going to have It. See?

L-130   Notice, he knew It was there. He believed in It and wanted It. But when he was confronted with how he had to do it, it was different from his ritual. It was different. He could hold his money and belong on to the church that he belonged to, and so forth. But Jesus knew that, and knew that he had hoarded this money, and He said, "Go sell all you got, and give it to the poor. And come, take up your cross and follow Me, and you'll have treasures in Heaven." But he couldn't do it.

L-131 The other leaders that he had in his youthful days, had such an influence on him till he refused to accept God's provided Way, which was Jesus Christ; the only One who holds Eternal Life, the only One that can give you It. Not the church can give you Eternal Life; not your neighbor; not your pastor; not your priest; not your creed; only Jesus Christ Himself can give you Eternal Life. He's the...

L-132 No matter how good you are, what you quit doing, what you start doing, you've got to accept the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. And then when you do that, He is the Word, and then your life fits right in the Word and it manifests itself to this age that you're living in.
