E-1 Ce s-a întâmplat? Mă întrebam doar. Cu mult timp în urmă, era greşit ca o femeie să poarte o îmbrăcăminte care aparţine unui bărbat. A... Is-... Biblia a spus, "Este o urâciune înaintea lui Dumnezeu."
E-1 What happened? I just wonder. A long time ago, it was wrong for a woman to put on a garment that pertains to a man. The Bible said, “It's an abomination in the sight of God.”
You Methodists, I want to fire one at you: When John Smith preached his last sermon, a short one, four hours, so old they packed him to the platform, and he said, “Oh, I don't know what's going to happen, even the daughters of the Methodist church are wearing rings on their fingers.” What about now with a bathing suit on, stretched out on a beach before a bunch of men? That's you Methodists.

That's you Methodists.
E-2 Voi Metodiştii, vreau să trag una spre voi: Când John Smith a predicat ultima sa predică, una scurtă, de patru ore, atât de bătrân încât l-au purtat pe platformă, şi el a spus, ,,Oh, nu ştiu ce se va întâmpla, chiar şi fiicele bisericii Metodiste poartă inele pe degete." Ce ziceţi că acum poartă costum de baie, întinsă pe o plajă în faţa unui grup de bărbaţi? Sunteţi voi Metodiştii.
E-2 All right, you Baptists: a little prayer one time now and then; and John Smith, the founder of the Baptist church, prayed until his eyes would swell shut, and his wife would have to lead him to the table of a morning to feed him his breakfast. Shame on you Baptists!
And you Methodists that don't believe in Divine healing: when John Smith (I stood by the shrine, not long ago.), one day he was riding his horse, and it fell and broke its leg. And he got off the horse, and he took a bottle of oil from his pocket and anointed the horse and rode away on it! You preach that in the Methodist church and they'll throw you out the door. Oh, you did run well, what hindered you?

E-3 În regulă, voi Baptiştii: o mică rugăciune din când în când; şi John Smith, fondatorul bisericii Baptiste, se ruga până când i se închideau ochii de umflaţi, iar soţia lui trebuia să-l conducă la masă dimineaţa ca să-i dea micul dejun. Să vă fie ruşine, Baptiştilor!
E-3 Standing not long ago, to a great Presbyterian man who was standing by my side, in some cult in California. He said, “What do you think of that?” He didn't know me.
I said, “It's all right.”
He said, “You know, one time the Presbyterian church was the predominant church on the West Coast.” He said, “But then, in come the Christian Science and just tore it to pieces. And now, here comes this man, is tearing the Christian Science to pieces.”
And I said, then, “If you would have give the children the Bread of Life, they wouldn't have went after such stuff as that. But hungry children will eat from a garbage can.” The world is hungry today for the Word of the Living God. Oh, you people, what you need, you pastors, is feed your sheep (That's right.) with the Word of the Living God.

E-4 Şi voi Metodiştii care nu credeţi în vindecarea Divină: când John Smith (am stat lângă sanctuar, nu de mult.), într-o zi îşi călărea calul şi acesta a căzut şi şi-a rupt piciorul. Şi s-a dat jos de pe cal, şi a luat o sticlă de ulei din buzunar, şi a uns calul şi a plecat călare pe el! Dacă predici asta în biserica Metodistă, te dau afară pe uşă. Oh, aţi alergat bine, ce v-a îngreunat?
E-4 Then He kept bringing word: “Oh, how Your children does this.” How He must feel. Imagine you being a teacher, and have to go to the very… your Maker, and report on His Own child, the discipline.
But, now, what if the child was a good child? What if the child was just about the Father's business? Then how gracious the Tutor was. He'd come and say, “Oh, kind Sir, Your child is a, just, 'a chip off the old block.' He's just like You. He's just about Your business. Oh, You'll never find a better businessman for Your Kingdom here than that child.”
How the Father must swell out, “Oh, that's My boy. Oh, yes, he's My son.”
How that the Holy Spirit, standing in the Presence of God, and says, “This man, he is a real son. He's about Your business.” How do we say we're about His business? This is His program: preach the Word. “I be lifted up, I'll draw all men to Me.” How that He must feel great and feel happy.
Then you know what happened? If that son never did behave itself, it never was no more than just an outcast boy. That's right. Now, you know, I'm still a little bit a Calvinist, but I—I believe if you're borned a child of God, you could be a disobedient child, and you'll lose all your reward, and you'll never be no more than just an ordinary Baptist, Pentecostal, Nazarene or whatever you are. But, if you'll be up and doing, if you'll be obedient and a real child…

E-5 Stând, nu cu mult timp în urmă, înaintea unui mare om Prezbiterian care stătea lângă mine, într-un cult în California. El a spus, ,,Ce părere ai despre asta?" Nu mă cunoştea.
I-am spus, "Este totul în regulă."
I-am spus, "Este totul în regulă."
E-5 Now the Lutheran, when you first found out 'the just shall live by faith,' you made a doctrine out of it. That's right.
And you Methodists, as soon as John Wesley come along, the Pillar of Fire, as It moved, they built under It. And when John Wesley come along, you discovered the new birth, or what they call sanctification, the second definite work of grace. That was all right, so was justification right. But, as soon as you found out sanctification, you drawed a little line, or, your leaders did, after the death of Wesley, and Asbury, and so forth, and then you made a doctrine out of it, and you drawed a borderline. God just moved the Pillar of Fire right out.
The Pentecostal found it, the restoration of the gifts. They begin to speak in tongues. You made a doctrine out of it, and you put your period down. Now, the Holy Spirit is moving right on off, and leaving you. That's right.

E-6 El a spus, "Ştii, odată, biserica Prezbiteriană era biserica predominantă pe Coasta de Vest." El a spus, "Dar apoi, a venit Ştiinţa Creştină şi doar a spulberat-o. Şi acum, iată-l pe acest om, spulberă Ştiinţa Creştină."
E-6 Oh, brother, when you isolate yourself from the rest of the believers, God will move away. You've got to love one another. “This will all men know that you are My disciples, when you have love one for the other one.” When the Methodist and the Baptist and the Lutheran and the Pentecostal can stand arm-in-arm and march forward, you'll see one of the mightiest outpourings of the Spirit of God that you ever seen.
The devil don't care as long as we're shooting at one another. “Oh, go ahead, you just fight, kill yourselves.” But let us unite in one big front. Watch what happens then. Watch what goes on.

E-7 Şi i-am spus atunci, "Dacă le-ai fi dat copiilor Pâinea Vieţii, ei nu s-ar fi dus după aşa ceva. Dar copiii flămânzi vor mânca dintr-o pubelă de gunoi." Lumea este flămândă astăzi de Cuvântul Dumnezeului Viu. Oh, oameni buni, ceea ce vă trebuie, voi păstorii, este să vă hrăniţi oile (Aşa este.) cu Cuvântul Dumnezeului Viu.
E-7 Now, if this boy was a correct boy, and he was obedient, and he was industrious, and he—he liked to do the things the father had left for him to do, then the tutor come and said, “Oh, he's a great boy.” Then on a certain day, when the boy become of age (Which the church ought to have been, long time ago.), this boy was brought out into a public place, and had a robe placed on him, a beautiful robe. And all the round about was called in.
Now, listen close, in closing. And all the people was gathered in; at the front of the gate, usually, it taken place. He went up to the front of the gate of the city, and there he set his boy upon a high place, and he put him on, a robe.

E-8 Apoi El a continuat să aducă veşti: "O, cum fac copiii Tăi acest lucru." Cum trebuie să se simtă EL Imaginaţi-vă că sunteţi un învăţător, şi trebuie să mergeţi chiar la... Creatorul vostru, şi să raportaţi despre Propriul Său copil, disciplina.
E-8 And you preachers here, I'm talking of the placing of a son, you know, in the Bible. Now, in Galatians, or, Ephesians 1:5, “For God has predestinated us unto the adoption, or, the placing of sons, by Jesus Christ.” Now, he was a son to begin with, but now he's so obedient. Let him be whatever denomination; that has nothing to do with it. It's obedience to the Word, obedience to God.
And then he was placed on this high seat, and there was a great celebration and the father adopted his own son that had been in his family all these years, had adopted him into his family. In other words, he had placed him; give him his position in the family. And then after that, the boy's name was just as good on a check as his daddy's was for he was positionally placed.

E-9 Dar, acum, şi dacă copilul era un copil bun? Dacă copilul se ocupa doar de treburile Tatălui? Atunci cât de binevoitor era Tutorele. El ar veni şi ar spune, "Oh, bunule Domn, copilul Tău este un, chiar, ,ca aşchia care nu sare departe de trunchi.' Este exact ca Tine. El se ocupă doar de treburile Tale. Oh, Tu nu vei găsi niciodată un om de afaceri mai bun pentru Împărăţia Ta aici decât acel copil."
Cât de orgolios trebuie să fie Tatăl, "Oh, acesta este băiatul Meu. Oh, da, este fiul Meu."
Cât de orgolios trebuie să fie Tatăl, "Oh, acesta este băiatul Meu. Oh, da, este fiul Meu."
E-9 Now, my Pentecostal brethren, Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian, whatever you are, do you see where we're short today? Do you see? We are fussing so much about our denomination, about our prestige, and about our societies; God can't do nothing with us. We're children, but, oh, may the day hasten when we can be set out before the public and robed in the Power of His righteousness: that our words, our prayers will heal the sick; and our preaching will save the lost; and the great signs and wonders of the Bible will be restored back to the Church again. When we break down our little, petty, juvenile differences, that's when God will do this.
E-10 Cum Duhul Sfânt, stă în Prezenţa lui Dumnezeu, şi spune, ,,Acest om, este un fiu adevărat. El se ocupă de treburile Tale." Cum spunem noi că ne ocupăm de treburile Lui? Acesta este programul Său: propovăduiţi Cuvântul. "Voi fi înălţat, Îi voi atrage la Mine pe toţi oamenii." Cum trebuie să se simtă El minunat şi să se simtă fericit.
E-10 Notice, he was positionally placed and then he become a full-fledged son. Then his name was good. Then…
That's the way with the Church, if we could get away from our little differences and come to Christ and forget about the outside world, or, forget about our denominations, and so forth, and be obedient children, and be about the Father's business to get souls saved, and to do the things of God, after while God will set us to one side and He will anoint us with the Holy Ghost, and then we are positionally placed in His Kingdom. Some has the gifts of wisdom, some has knowledge, some has gifts of tongues, some preaches the Gospel, some are prophets, and other gifts.

E-11 Apoi ştiţi ce sa întâmplat? Dacă acel fiu nu se purta niciodată cum trebuie, nu era nimic altceva decât un băiat proscris. Aşa este. Acum, ştiţi, eu sunt încă un pic Calvinist, dar eu-eu cred că dacă te-ai născut copil al lui Dumnezeu, poţi fi un copil neascultător, şi îţi vei pierde toată răsplata, şi nu vei fi niciodată mai mult decât un simplu Baptist obişnuit, Penticostal, Nazarinean sau orice ai fi. Dar, dacă te vei ridica şi vei face, dacă vei fi ascultător şi vei fi un copil adevărat...
Acum Luteranii, atunci când aţi aflat prima dată că ,cel neprihănit va trăi prin credinţă,' aţi făcut din asta o doctrină. Aşa este.

E-11 But, now, God is moving the gifts in the Church. I might as well say it, it's on my heart. See, I don't want to hurt you, brother. I don't want to hurt you, sister. But the Pentecostal church, and you Full Gospel people with these gifts, you don't know how to control them. They're gifts; they're all right, but you're going wild with them. Put them in their place.
Look, the first gift is wisdom. What's good's it going to do you to have knowledge if you don't know… have wisdom to know how to control your knowledge? What good does it do you to speak with tongues, if you don't have wisdom to know when, how, and to place it right? See what I mean? What good does it do to preach Divine healing when it just goes to pieces? You don't know what…

E-12 Iar voi Metodiştii, de îndată ce a apărut John Wesley, Stâlpul de Foc, aşa cum Se deplasa, au clădit sub El. Şi când a apărut John Wesley, aţi descoperit naşterea din nou, sau ceea ce ei numesc sfinţire, a doua lucrare definită a harului. Asta era în regulă, la fel a fost şi justificarea. Dar, imediat ce aţi descoperit sfinţirea, aţi trasat o mică linie, sau, liderii voştri au făcut-o, după moartea lui Wesley, şi Asbury, şi aşa mai departe, şi apoi aţi făcut o doctrină din ea, şi aţi trasat o linie de demarcaţie. Dumnezeu doar a mutat Stâlpul de Foc chiar afară.
E-12 I've said, “I met two classes of people in my life, and that is the fundamental and the Pentecostal.” The fundamental positionally knows what they are, but they haven't got any faith. The Word has never took root yet, It's never come to Life. But positionally, they know where they are. The Pentecostals got the faith, but they don't know who they are. It's just like, a man's got money in the bank, don't know how to write a check, and the other one can write a check, and ain't got no money in the bank. If you could ever get those together.
O, God, give us either a spiritual fundamental church, or a fundamental Pentecostal church.
You've got lots of faith, but you just don't know how to place it; it just runs wild. That way it brings more reproach than it does good. Place it in the Bible. This is the Blueprint; not what people want, but what God wants. Line up with His program. That's what's the difference; that's why we're not going on the way we should be, friends.

E-13 Penticostalii l-au găsit, restabilirea darurilor. Au început să vorbească în limbi. Aţi făcut o doctrină din asta şi aţi pus punct. Acum, Duhul Sfânt se îndepărtează şi vă părăseşte. Aşa este.
E-13 Now, while they were standing there, notice, that when in the Presence of God… Now, in the Old Testament, God never did ask man to do anything 'less He would do it Himself. When man was sentenced to death, to die, the only way God could redeem him is come down in flesh, and take his place.
That's the reason I preached the way I did last night: Christ is more than a man; He's God; He had to come down, and be clothed in flesh in order to taste sin; He couldn't send another individual; He wouldn't be just in doing so; He had to come Hisself. And He overshadowed a virgin, and created a Blood cell that brought forth the Son, and God dwelt in the Son, tabernacled here on Earth. He was Emmanuel, not a prophet, but “God with us!” God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. It's the only way He could taste sin and death, was to be made mortal like man.

E-14 O, frate, când te izolezi de restul credincioşilor, Dumnezeu se va îndepărta. Trebuie să vă iubiţi unii pe alţii. "Prin aceasta vor cunoaşte toţi oamenii că sunteţi ucenicii Mei, când aveţi dragoste unii pentru alţii." Când Metodistul şi Baptistul şi Luteranul şi Penticostalul vor putea sta braţ la braţ şi vor mărşălui înainte, veţi vedea una dintre cele mai puternice revărsări ale Duhului lui Dumnezeu pe care le-aţi văzut vreodată.
E-14 The kinsman redeemer of Ruth, that I've preached on so much across the nation, as you probably read the sermons; oh, he had to be a kinsman to be a redeemer. And the only way that God could ever be a Redeemer, He had to become Kinfolks to us. And He become flesh and dwelt among us. He is our Kinfolks. He was a flesh Man like I am, like you are, but, God dwelt in Him to suffer and feel, taste, using five senses like we are. He become a Redeemer.
And then, when He was standing there on Mount Transfiguration, God was showing to the world what He had asked man to do back there under the adoption or placing of sons.
Peter got all excited. Usually men do when they're in the Presence of Supernatural. Usually they can't control themselves because they're creatures of the earth, and yet, they're creatures of Heaven, too. But that foretaste just runs them wild.

E-15 La diavol nu-i pasă atâta timp cât tragem unii în alţii. "Oh, daţi-i drumul, luptaţi-vă, omorâţi-vă." Dar haideţi să ne unim într-un singur mare front. Urmăriţi ce se va întâmpla atunci. Urmăriţi ce se întâmplă.
E-15 That's what's happened to the Pentecostal church. See? That foretaste, you don't know how to control yourself. You get all out of reason. You don't know how to place those gifts of tongues, those interpretations. While the preacher's speaking, sometimes, they raise right up and speak, right while the preacher's speaking. That's contrary to the Bible. And you say, “Oh, God gave a message of this. It's fresher than the Bible.” No, it's not! That…
Your words will fail, and everything else will fail, but the Bible said, “If there be any spiritual or a prophet among you, let him acknowledge that what I write is the commandments of God.” And, “If an Angel from Heaven would preach any other gospel than that which has been preached, let him be accursed.” You see what I mean?
So, if you try to shake hands with people to get them into the Kingdom of God, you're wrong. They're borned in the Kingdom of God by the Holy Ghost. They're not baptized face forward, backward, sprinkled, poured, in one name or the other. They are borned of the Spirit of God into the Kingdom of God.

E-16 Acum, dacă acest băiat era un băiat corect, şi era ascultător, şi era harnic, şi lui-lui i-a plăcut să facă lucrurile pe care tatăl îi lăsase să le facă, atunci tutorele venea şi spunea, ,,Oh, este un băiat minunat." Apoi într-o anumită zi, când băiatul a devenit major (Ceea ce biserica ar fi trebuit să fie, cu mult timp în urmă.), acest băiat era adus într-un loc public şi i se punea o haină pe el, o haină frumoasă. Şi toţi cei din jur erau chemaţi înăuntru.
E-16 Peter was excited. He said, “Lord, let's build three tabernacles. We'll build one for Moses and all wants to keep the law. Moses represented the law. All that wants to keep the law, the commandments, and don't eat meat, and so forth, let them do that. And we'll build one for Elijah. And we'll build one for You.”
Now, Moses represented the law, all the laws. And no man can be saved by the law. The law wasn't a saviour, the law was a schoolmaster. The law was the punishment. The law magnified sin. In otherwise, the law was a jailhouse, that the Spirit put you in the jailhouse, but, it couldn't redeem; it had nothing in it to redeem by. Jesus was a Redeemer. Now, Moses represented the law. By the law, no flesh is saved. That's the reason He brought the three witnesses from Heaven.

E-17 Acum, ascultaţi cu atenţie, în încheiere. Şi tot poporul se aduna; în faţa porţii, de obicei, avea loc. Se urca în faţa porţii cetăţii, şi acolo îl aşeza pe băiatul său pe un loc înalt şi punea pe el, o haină.
E-17 Now, Elijah represented the justice of God. And my brother, would you dare to say that you require justice from God? When you're borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies. And you want justice? God said, “The day you eat thereof, that day you die.” That settles it. You got justice, you're gone.
And law? Law only brings it before you, said, “Here, you're under arrest; you sinned; you transgressed; and your prison is open for you, hell itself: go into it.” That's what the law said.
And the justice didn't even require a law. The Word had already been spoke. That's all. God has to keep His Word.

E-18 Şi voi, predicatorii de aici, vorbesc despre poziţionarea unui fiu, ştiţi, în Biblie. Acum, în Galateni, sau, Efeseni 1:5, "Căci Dumnezeu ne-a predestinat să fim înfiaţi, sau, la poziţionarea de fii, prin Isus Cristos." Acum, el a fost un fiu la început, dar acum este atât de ascultător. Să fie de orice denominaţiune; asta nu are nimic de-a face cu asta. Este vorba de ascultare faţă de Cuvânt, de ascultare faţă de Dumnezeu.
E-18 Look at Elijah, God's… he was God's line of justice. He was sitting upon a hill, he said, “If I be a man of God,” when that captain of fifty come, said, “let Fire come from Heaven.” When, away went the fifty.
“Well,” the king said, “perhaps lightning struck them. Oh, I don't believe in the days of miracles, so maybe it was lightning or something struck them; it was just accidental. I'll send another fifty.”
That stern, old prophet of justice stood up there, and said, “If I be a man of God, let Fire come from Heaven.” And down come the fire, and consumed another fifty. Wasn't an accident, then. Why? He was the line of God's justice.
Dare any of you to try to stand the justice of God. Dare any of you to try to go to Heaven by the law. Look where we're standing.

E-19 Şi apoi era aşezat pe acest scaun înalt, şi era o mare sărbătoare şi tatăl îşi înfia propriul fiu care a fost în familia lui în toţi aceşti ani, l-a înfiat în familia lui. Cu alte cuvinte, l¬a poziţionat; i-a dat poziţia lui în familie. Şi apoi, după aceea, numele băiatului era la fel de valabil pe un cec ca şi cel al tatălui său, pentru că a fost aşezat din punct de vedere poziţional.
E-19 Peter said, “Let's build three tabernacles.” Look at the darkness. We are doomed from the beginning. God's justice requires recompense; recompense requires the reward; the reward is death. Law magnifies it and throws us under arrest and puts us in the prison. What a dark picture for the human race.
But, oh, my dear, poor, decrepit friend, turn your head this way. There stood Jesus. Jesus magnified, like the son back there under the Old Testament. He was glorified, potentially. Oh, His garments shined like the sun, and a Voice from Heaven said, “This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him.”

E-20 Acum, fraţii mei Penticostali, Baptişti, Metodişti şi Prezbiterieni, oricare aţi fi, vedeţi unde suntem pe minus astăzi? Vedeţi? Ne agităm atât de mult în legătură cu denominaţiunea noastră, cu prestigiul nostru şi cu societăţile noastre; Dumnezeu nu poate face nimic cu noi. Suntem copii, dar, oh, să vină mai repede ziua în care vom putea fi prezentaţi în faţa publicului şi îmbrăcaţi în Puterea neprihănirii Sale: că cuvintele noastre, rugăciunile noastre vor vindeca bolnavii; şi predicile noastre vor salva pe cei pierduţi; şi marile semne şi minuni ale Bibliei vor fi restabilite din nou în Biserică. Când vom dărâma diferenţele noastre mici, meschine, juvenile, atunci Dumnezeu va face acest lucru.
Observaţi, el a fost aşezat în poziţie şi apoi devenea un fiu cu drepturi depline. Apoi numele lui era valabil. Apoi...

E-20 So, all of our denominations, all of our upsets, all of our differences doesn't mean a thing. Jesus represented God's love. “God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should never perish, but have Eternal Life.”
So it doesn't lay in the justice. It doesn't lay in the law or what you've done. It's in the mercy and love of God, that Christ came to the earth and taken your place.
God Himself said, “Now look, I'm going to declare this before Heaven: No man can be saved by the law, it's done. I'll declare that on the earth no man can be saved by the law, no man can be saved by justice. But, 'This is My beloved Son.' No man can be saved by belonging to the Baptist church. No man can be saved by belonging to the Methodist church. No man can be saved by belonging to the Pentecostal church. But, 'This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am pleased to dwell in. Hear ye Him.'”

E-21 Aşa se întâmplă cu Biserica, dacă am putea să ne scăpăm de micile noastre diferenţe şi să venim la Cristos şi să uităm de lumea exterioară, sau, să uităm de denominaţiunile noastre, şi aşa mai departe, şi să fim copii ascultători, şi să ne ocupăm de treburile Tatălui pentru a salva suflete şi pentru a face lucrurile lui Dumnezeu, după un timp, Dumnezeu ne va pune deoparte şi El ne va unge cu Duhul Sfânt, şi apoi suntem aşezaţi poziţional în Împărăţia Sa. Unii au daruri de înţelepciune, unii au cunoştinţe, unii au daruri de limbi, unii predică Evanghelia, unii sunt proroci şi alte daruri.
E-21 Why hear ye Him? He's the only One can save. He's the only One can give peace. He's the only One can heal. The law can't heal; neither will the justice require. But the Son of God can save and heal and give peace. For, “He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we were healed.” Hear ye Him.
If you're Methodist, stay there, but hear ye Him. If you're a Pentecostal, stay there, but hear ye Him. Whatever it is, wherever you belong, that has nothing to do with it. If you're a borned-again child of God, and filled with the Holy Ghost, and you're a Roman Catholic, hear ye Him. God will take care of the rest of it. You just hear ye Him, and God will take care of the rest.

E-22 Dar, acum, Dumnezeu mişcă darurile în Biserică. Aş putea la fel de bine să o spun, este pe inima mea. Vedeţi, nu vreau să te rănesc, frate. Nu vreau să te rănesc, soră. Dar biserica Penticostală, şi voi, cei din Evanghelia Deplină, cu aceste daruri, nu ştiţi cum să le controlaţi. Sunt daruri; sunt în regulă, dar voi o luaţi razna cu ele. Puneţi-le la locul lor.
E-22 What we need today, brethren, in my final remark in closing is this: We need a challenger. We need someone to display the love of God. We need some church, some groups of people. This valley, here, needs a group of people, every bit of the world needs a group of people to display that real loyalty that God has overshadowed you by the Holy Ghost, and give you love. Where…
E-23 Uitaţi, primul dar este înţelepciunea. La ce vă foloseşte să aveţi cunoştinţa, dacă nu ştiţi... aveţi înţelepciunea de a şti cum să vă controlaţi cunoştinţa? La ce vă foloseşte să vorbiţi în limbi, dacă nu aveţi înţelepciunea de a şti când, cum şi să le aşezaţi corect? Vedeţi ce vreau să spun? La ce vă foloseşte să propovăduiţi vindecarea Divină, dacă se duce de râpă? Nu ştiţi ce...
E-24 Am spus, "Am întâlnit două clase de oameni în viaţa mea, şi anume fundamentali şi Penticostali." Cei fundamentali din punct de vedere poziţional ştiu ce sunt, dar nu au credinţă. Cuvântul nu a prins încă rădăcini, Acesta nu a ajuns niciodată la Viaţă. Dar din punct de vedere poziţional, ei ştiu unde sunt. Penticostalii au credinţa, dar nu ştiu cine sunt. Este exact ca şi cum un om are bani în bancă, dar nu ştie să scrie un cec, iar celălalt ştie să scrie un cec, dar nu are bani în bancă. Dacă ai putea vreodată să le pui împreună.
O, Dumnezeule, dă-ne fie o biserică fundamentală spirituală, fie o biserică Penticostală fundamentală.
O, Dumnezeule, dă-ne fie o biserică fundamentală spirituală, fie o biserică Penticostală fundamentală.
E-25 Aveţi multă credinţă, dar nu ştiţi cum să o aşezaţi; pur şi simplu o ia razna. În felul acesta, aduce mai mult reproş decât bine. Aşezaţi-o în Biblie. Acesta este Planul; nu ceea ce vor oamenii, ci ceea ce vrea Dumnezeu. Aliniaţi-vă cu programul Său. Aceasta este diferenţa; de aceea nu mergem mai departe aşa cum ar trebui, prieteni.
E-26 Acum, în timp ce ei stăteau acolo, observaţi că, atunci când se aflau în prezenţa lui Dumnezeu... Acum, în Vechiul Testament, Dumnezeu nu i-a cerut niciodată omului să facă ceva decât dacă ar fi făcut-o El Însuşi. Când omul a fost condamnat la moarte, să moară, singurul mod în care Dumnezeu putea să-l răscumpere era să coboare în trup şi să-i ia locul.
E-27 Acesta este motivul pentru care am predicat aşa cum am făcut-o aseară: Cristos este mai mult decât un om; El este Dumnezeu; El a trebuit să se pogoare şi să se îmbrace în carne pentru a gusta păcatul; El nu putea trimite un alt individ; El nu ar fi fost drept să o facă; El a trebuit să vină El Însuşi. Şi El a umbrit o fecioară şi a creat o celulă de Sânge care a dat naştere Fiului, şi Dumnezeu a locuit în Fiul, a fost în tabernacol aici pe Pământ. El a fost Emanuel, nu un profet, ci "Dumnezeu cu noi!" Dumnezeu era în Cristos împăcând lumea cu Sine. Este unicul mod în care El putea gusta păcatul şi moartea, era să se facă muritor ca omul.
E-28 Răscumpărătorul rudenie a lui Rut, despre care am predicat atât de mult în toată naţiunea, după cum probabil aţi citit predicile; oh, trebuia să fie o rudenie ca să fie un răscumpărător. Şi singurul mod în care Dumnezeu putea fi vreodată un Răscumpărător, El trebuia să devină Rudenie pentru noi. Şi El a devenit trup şi a locuit printre noi. El este Rudenia noastră. El a fost un Om din carne şi oase, aşa cum sunt eu, aşa cum sunteţi voi, dar, Dumnezeu a locuit în El pentru a suferi şi a simţii, gusta, folosind cele cinci simţuri, aşa cum simţim noi. El a devenit un Răscumpărător.
E-29 Şi apoi, când El stătea acolo, pe Muntele Transfigurării, Dumnezeu arăta lumii ceea ce ceruse El omului să facă în trecut, în înfiere sau în poziţionarea fiilor.
E-30 Petru era foarte entuziasmat. De obicei, aşa fac oamenii atunci când se află în Prezenţa Supranaturalului. De obicei, nu se pot controla pentru că sunt făpturi ale pământului, şi totuşi, sunt şi făpturi ale Cerului. Dar această anticipare îi face să o ia razna.
E-31 Asta-i ce s-a întâmplat cu biserica Penticostală. Vedeţi? Acea anticipare, nu ştiţi cum să vă controlaţi. Vă pierdeţi complet raţiunea. Nu ştiţi cum să puneţi acele daruri ale limbilor, acele tălmăciri. In timp ce predicatorul vorbeşte, uneori, se ridică drept sus şi vorbesc, chiar în timp ce predicatorul vorbeşte. Asta este contrar Bibliei. Şi spuneţi, "Oh, Dumnezeu a dat un mesaj despre asta. Este mai proaspăt decât Biblia." Nu, nu este! Asta...
E-32 Cuvintele voastre vor eşua şi orice altceva va eşua, dar Biblia a spus, "Dacă este vreun proroc sau insuflat printre voi, să înţeleagă că ce vă scriu eu, sunt poruncile lui Dumnezeu." Şi, "Dacă un Înger din cer ar propovădui orice altă evanghelie de aceea care a fost propovăduită, să fie anatema." Înţelegeţi ce vreau să spun?
E-33 Deci, dacă încercaţi să daţi mâna cu oamenii ca să-i aduceţi în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu, greşiţi. Ei sunt născuţi în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu prin Duhul Sfânt. Ei nu sunt botezaţi cu faţa înainte, înapoi, stropit, turnat, într-un nume sau altul. Ei sunt născuţi din Duhul lui Dumnezeu în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu.
E-34 Petru era emoţionat. El a spus, ,,Doamne, să facem trei corturi. Vom face unul pentru Moise şi pentru toţi cei care vor să ţină legea. Moise reprezenta legea. Toţi cei care vor să ţină legea, poruncile, să nu mănânce carne şi aşa mai departe, să facă asta. Şi vom face unul pentru Ilie. Şi vom face unul pentru Tine."
E-35 Acum, Moise reprezenta legea, toate legile. Şi nimeni nu poate fi mântuit prin lege. Legea nu era un mântuitor, legea era un îndrumător. Legea era pedeapsa. Legea amplifica păcatul. În alt mod, legea era o închisoare, că Duhul te băga în închisoare, dar, nu putea răscumpăra; nu avea nimic în ea prin care să răscumpere. Isus a fost un Răscumpărător. Acum, Moise reprezenta legea. Prin lege, nicio făptură nu este mântuită. Acesta este motivul pentru care El a adus cei trei martori din Cer.
E-36 Acum, Ilie reprezenta dreptatea lui Dumnezeu. Şi fratele meu, ai îndrăzni să spui că tu ceri dreptate de la Dumnezeu? Când te-ai născut în păcat, format în nelegiuire, vii în lume vorbind minciuni. Şi tu vrei dreptate? Dumnezeu a spus, "În ziua în care vei mânca din el, în ziua aceea vei muri." Asta o stabileşte. Dacă aveţi dreptatea, sunteţi pierduţi.
E-37 Şi legea? Legea ţi-o aduce doar în faţă, a spus, "Iată, eşti arestat; ai păcătuit; ai încălcat legea; şi închisoarea ta este deschisă pentru tine, însuşi iadul: intră înăuntru." Asta a spus legea.
Şi dreptatea nici măcar nu avea nevoie de o lege. Cuvântul a fost deja rostit. Asta-i tot. Dumnezeu trebuie să Îşi respecte Cuvântul.
Şi dreptatea nici măcar nu avea nevoie de o lege. Cuvântul a fost deja rostit. Asta-i tot. Dumnezeu trebuie să Îşi respecte Cuvântul.
E-38 Uitaţi-vă la Ilie, Dumnezeu... el era linia de dreptate a lui Dumnezeu. El stătea pe un deal şi a spus, "Dacă sunt un om al lui Dumnezeu," când a venit acel căpitan de cincizeci, a spus, „să se pogoare Foc din Cer." [Fratele Branham pocneşte din degete – Ed.] Când, au dispărut cei cincizeci.
E-39 „Ei bine," împăratul a spus, ,,poate că i-a lovit un fulger. Oh, eu nu cred în zilele miracolelor, aşa că poate a fost un fulger sau ceva i-a lovit; a fost doar o întâmplare. Voi trimite alţi cincizeci."
E-40 Acel aspru, bătrân profet al dreptăţii s-a ridicat în picioare şi a spus, "Dacă sunt un om al lui Dumnezeu, să se pogoare Focul din Cer." Şi focul s-a pogorât şi a mistuit alţi cincizeci. Nu a fost un accident, deci. De ce? El era linia de dreptate a lui Dumnezeu.
Îndrăzneşte vreunul dintre voi să încerce să reziste dreptăţii lui Dumnezeu. Îndrăzneşte vreunul dintre voi să încerce să ajungă în Cer prin lege. Priviţi unde ne aflăm.
Îndrăzneşte vreunul dintre voi să încerce să reziste dreptăţii lui Dumnezeu. Îndrăzneşte vreunul dintre voi să încerce să ajungă în Cer prin lege. Priviţi unde ne aflăm.
E-41 Petru a spus, "Să construim trei corturi." Priviţi întunericul. Suntem osândiţi de la început. Dreptatea lui Dumnezeu cere recompensă; recompensa cere răsplata; răsplata este moartea. Legea o amplifică şi ne aruncă în arest şi ne pune în închisoare. Ce imagine sumbră pentru rasa umană.
E-42 Dar, o, dragul meu, sărman, prieten amărât, întoarce-ţi capul în partea asta. Acolo stătea Isus. Isus mărit, ca şi fiul de acolo din trecut din Vechiul Testament. El era slăvit, potenţial. Oh, hainele Lui străluceau ca soarele, şi un Glas din Cer a spus, "Acesta este Fiul Meu preaiubit; de El să ascultaţi."
E-43 Deci, toate denominaţiunile noastre, toate supărările noastre, toate diferenţele noastre nu înseamnă nimic. Isus reprezenta dragostea lui Dumnezeu. "Dumnezeu atât de mult a iubit lumea, că a dat pe singurul Său Fiu, pentru ca oricine crede în El să nu piară niciodată, ci să aibă Viaţa Eternă."
E-44 Deci nu stă în dreptate. Nu stă în lege sau în ceea ce tu ai făcut. Stă în mila şi dragostea lui Dumnezeu, căci Cristos a venit pe pământ şi a luat locul vostru.
E-45 Dumnezeu Însuşi a spus, "Acum priviţi, voi declara acest lucru în faţa Cerului: Nici un om nu poate fi mântuit prin lege, s-a terminat. Voi declara că pe pământ niciun om nu poate fi mântuit prin lege, niciun om nu poate fi mântuit prin dreptate. Dar, 'Acesta este Fiul Meu preaiubit.' Nici un om nu poate fi mântuit prin apartenenţa la biserica Baptistă. Nici un om nu poate fi mântuit prin apartenenţa la biserica Metodistă. Niciun om nu poate fi mântuit prin apartenenţa la biserica Penticostală. Ci, 'Acesta este Fiul Meu preaiubit, în Care Îmi găsesc plăcerea să locuiesc. De El să ascultaţi."'
E-46 De ce să ascultaţi de El? El este Singurul care poate mântui. El este Singurul care poate da pace. El este Singurul care poate vindeca. Legea nu poate vindeca; nici dreptatea nu va cere. Dar Fiul lui Dumnezeu poate mântui şi vindeca şi da pace. Pentru că, "El a fost străpuns pentru păcatele noastre, zdrobit pentru fărădelegile noastre: pedeapsa care ne dă pacea a fost asupra Lui; şi prin rănile Lui am fost tămăduiţi." De El să ascultaţi.
E-47 Dacă eşti Metodist, rămâi acolo, dar de El să asculţi. Dacă eşti Penticostal, rămâi acolo, dar de El să asculţi. Orice ar fi, oriunde ai aparţine, nu are nimic de-a face cu asta. Dacă eşti un copil născut din nou din Dumnezeu şi umplut cu Duhul Sfânt şi eşti Romano-Catolic, de El să asculţi. Dumnezeu va purta de grijă pentru restul. Tu doar de El să asculţi, iar Dumnezeu va purta de grijă pentru restul.
E-48 Ceea ce avem nevoie astăzi, fraţilor, în observaţia mea finală în încheiere este următorul lucru: Avem nevoie de un provocator. Avem nevoie de cineva care să arate dragostea lui Dumnezeu. Avem nevoie de o biserică, de nişte grupuri de oameni. Această vale, aici, are nevoie de un grup de oameni, fiecare părticică de lume are nevoie de un grup de oameni care să afişeze acea loialitate reală că Dumnezeu v-a preaumbrit prin Duhul Sfânt, şi v-a dat dragoste. Unde...
