He was God's love.

Let me take my place with her now. Let me make my assurance: Jesus is mine; I'll take Him and His Word. Yes"
The Word of God is like a chain, you're passing across hell with It; and its chain is only its best at its weakest link, and God wants us to keep every Word of It. Now, that was the first of the Bible; just to break one Word, plunged the human race into a darkness of death"

There it is, when you're meeting really face to face with demon powers. When you're meeting face to face with opposition, there's where the testing time comes.

The bootleggers ain't hurting the church. It isn't that. It isn't the prostitute that's hurting the church. It's the people who profess to be Christians that's hurting the church.

And that's all that I care to know, for He's my--He is my Noun and Pronoun; He's my Life. Now, the thing we want to know is Him. But you see our religious system has adopted the educational system, and took the place of the Holy Spirit. That's what it's done"
The Bible said they were ignorant and unlearned men, His apostles was. They may not have knowed much about botany. They might not have much about mathematics, or--or algebra, or anything of that sort of our modern education. They might not have knowed much about that, but they knowed Him, and that's the main thing"

They think that's life. Many people know the doctrine of their church. They think that's life.

They never found a better way for a baby to get what it wants than to cry for it. Could you give him a bell and say, "Junior, you're only three days old. But now, when you want--when you want your bottle, raise up this bell and ring it?" See if it works. It don't work. The baby cries for what it wants. That's God's provided way. Louder you cry...

The devils tremble when the weakest of saints goes to their knees. What a power and a privilege has been given to the Church of the living God. When you fall to your knees in prayer even the devils tremble, to the weakest of them. Think of it"
That's why the minister and the Word of God, God's great Symphony He's been playing since the dawn of time, the minister, at the Word has to not look over here and say, "I believe this ought to be; you ought to make It this way." He's got to go the way the sheet Music says take it. That's the way the Gospel's got to be preached, the way the Word says take It. You know, if you'd throw a creed in There, you got the whole thing messed up. It's got to go to make the drama just exactly right"
The director has to go what the composer said, beat out just exactly so, the music. Now, watch. It's all done by signs, and it's got to be the right kind of sign to give the right kind of a sound. Paul said, "If the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for war? Now, you see the Composer, God, Who wrote the Bible, it's altogether the revelation of Jesus Christ. He knowed the changes of time. And the man, the--the director who's directing the--the sign of the age, has to go just exactly with the Bible signs"
The director and the Composer must be in the same Spirit, and so must the musicians be in the same Spirit to act it all out"

No matter how much you can put on a great psychological effect on the outside, the devil knows just how deep that is, and he stand and laugh at you. Certainly. He knows he has got you whipped to begin with. But when God, in the stillness of His Spirit, has placed it in you, the devil can't stand on that ground"
The world is a hungry today, to see love demonstrated. They don't want to see so much action, so much clapping hands. Them things are all right, now. I'm not discrediting them. I'm just trying to put them in their place. They don't want to hear you speak with tongues to prove you've got the Holy Ghost, or interpret it to get the Holy Ghost. They want to see the love that you got to display. That's what the world is a wanting, is love"

To reject the Gospel is to be sealed with the mark of the beast. God marks you"
Talking about juvenile delinquency, it's a whole lot of parent delinquency. What the parent needs today is to get some of them old beer cans out of that ice box out there, take the cards off the table, and put the Bible right there, and open It up and call the kids around have a prayer meeting. That's what we need today. That's right"

There's no grandchildren in the Kingdom of God; they're all children"
The people get one another's spirit, in the stead of getting the Holy Spirit. You go into a group of people, and you watch the way that a person acts, and--and them kind people that come into that congregation the first thing you know they act the same way. You add, or... You take a good woman and a bad man, and he will either... She'll... He will either become a good man or her a bad woman.

The educated heathen is harder to touch than the uneducated. Heathen is unbeliever. And when they come educated, makes them horrible to touch. They know so much that you can't tell them nothing. Where the man is uneducated, he looks at you; he accepts the Gospel, believes God and gets the results"
They just don't try to set down and try to reason it out with God. They try to reason it with theirself, and you can't reason God. That's all. You got to believe God. God is not known by knowledge. No matter how many degrees you got, how many seminaries you went through, it doesn't amount to that"

The trouble with the church today. You're trying to compare with Hollywood. You're trying to make it like Hollywood. Remember, Hollywood glares, the Gospel glows. You can't go over on their ground. You've got to bring them on our ground. That's where we've got to get them. You've got to get them over here, not us go out there. We can never compare with them. We don't want to. They shine and glitter; the Gospel glows with meekness and humility. That's just the difference between a glow and a glare"
The thing of it is today, you're trying to say how much you got. What a difference it is from the first Pentecostals. The first Pentecostals got rid of what they had"
Today there's no reverence. Oh, what little there is, is just very little. What you see... People laugh at what's called Christianity. What's going to happen to that man, when God sends something to the earth, and they see it being operated just exactly with the Word, and then men talk about it, and make fun of it. You know what the Bible said? Jesus said it's blasphemy of the Holy Ghost and will never be forgiven"
The Word creates a character. We know that. Now, we look into His mirror and identify ourself by some person in the Bible"
That pretty little lady, who could be a real, little queen to some little tired preacher, come in and take him up on her laps, and put her arms around him, and--and quieten him down.

The greatest hindrance that the Church of God has is... The bootlegger, the gambler, them people are... We--we all know which way they're headed, and they know themselves.

The Word molds God's character to us. And anything that tried to be mixed with that character breaks the mold. You can't mix creed with Word. You can't mix the world with the Word"
There's one Healer; that's God. God is the only One Who can build cells, make life; therefore, it's not in the power of man to do that. A doctor can set a bone, or give you medicine to poison germs, that he put so much in it, and an antidote to keep it from killing you, and kill the germ and so forth. He can do that"
The matter with the Pentecostal church today, we got Pentecostal babies that's just been sprinkled and sprayed with this, and that, and the other, till it's run out to a bunch of hybrids. What we need today is a housecleaning, from the pulpit all the way to the--to janitor, and a starting over again, and get some genuine faith born into people. Yeah"
The Word and faith always admits the Word is right. Amen. If your faith don't punctuate every Word of God's Word with "amen," there's something wrong with your experience"
The way to do it. Don't take the high seat; take the back seat. Don't do... Just be the little person. The way up is down always. "He that humbles himself shall be exalted. He that exalts himself shall be abased." The way up is down always"
The only way to ever receive anything is come the right approach"
There's a gift of prophecy; it's in the church, which is to be examined by the--by the examiners before it can be told to the church, of course. "Let it be before two or three judges and then is told to it." But a prophet is borned a prophet, predestinated, foreordained"
There's no great man among us. We're not great men, not great women--we're all brothers and sisters, all the same in the same bracket. We're no great. One don't make one greater than the other one--not a thing at all to do. No, sir. But we're just all human beings. Don't try to interpret the things. Don't try to do anything more than just live a close life, giving praise and honor to Jesus Christ. Everybody understand that now? Amen. Love Him with all your heart. Do you do it?"
There is no pretty good Christian. How many ever seen a drunk-sober man? Nobody. How many ever seen a black-white bird? Nobody. It's either... You never seen a sinner-saint. You're either borned again or you're not borned again. You're either on one side of the fence"
Take God at His Word. Believe It anyhow. No matter how impossible it looks to be, believe God, and He will bring it to pass"
That's what He was requiring that night to separate the believers from the unbelievers. The believer worshipper was identified with his sacrifice. He must apply the blood. It wasn't take and kill the lamb, set the blood out there somewhere, or keep it in a charger, take it down to the neighbors. He had to apply the blood. That's the way it is tonight. We could come and sympathize with everything God does, that isn't what He requires. You've got to apply it. It's not sufficient until you apply it. The blood must be applied. That shows that you are identified. The worshipper laid his hand upon the lamb and then killed it, identify himself with the sacrifice"
There is a vast difference between just a Christian and a Holy Ghost filled Christian. And now, we're going to get this from the Scripture and place it just exactly in the Scripture. The first place, there is a Christian, professed to be a Christian. But if this Christian has not yet been filled with the Holy Ghost, he's only in process of being a Christian. See? He is professed to believe it; he's working to it; but God has not yet given him this Spirit of the Holy Ghost. He's not yet reached that goal with God, that God's recognized it"
This is the LAST warning. There will not be another. The throne room has been set up. The twelve foundations have been laid. The streets of gold have been paved. The gates of gigantic pearls are raised and hinged. Like a pyramid she stands so fair and glorious. The heavenly beings who have prepared her watch breathlessly, for she glistens and shines with a glory that is unearthly. Every facet of her beauty tells a story of amazing grace and Jesus' love. She is a city prepared for a prepared people. She awaits only for her inhabitants, and soon they will throng her streets with joy. Yes, it is the last call. The Spirit will not speak in another age. The ages are over"
The love of God is in every Christian heart. And be kind to one another. Forgive one another. If you don't see the Scriptures just alike, well, you believe anyhow and pray for the other person and just love one another. You'll find there's no greater evidence of a Christian in the world, than love"

The works that I do bear witness of Me." The things that I do, what I say, is what bears record of me. And that's what bears record of every person. Do you know, I'd rather you'd live me a sermon than preach me one? It'll be a better evidence that you're a Christian. Isn't that right? A live a sermon. And what we are is what we live, what we do"
