And the Name is in the Word
because He is the Word. Amen! What is He then? The Word interpreted [
is] the manifestation of the Name of God. No wonder... "Flesh
and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in Heaven has
revealed this to you Who I am. And upon this rock I
will build My place of worship, and the gates of hell
can't shake It down." Amen! O living Church of God, stand in firm
foundation on Jesus Christ alone. You can sing the song, but if you're not on
Christ the Word, you're on teetering, faltering sand. "But upon this
rock," Christ, "My Word."

That's what makes the gospel today. It's the unusualness, because God is
unusual. His Word is interpreted unusual to what we sometimes have it
interpreted. But as I've said before, God needs nobody to interpret his Word.
He does his own interpretation by bringing to pass the things that He said He
would do. He interprets his own Word. He doesn't need our interpretation. It's... our interpretation is our own
manmade thoughts that we put with it.
Interpret : Webster
= To have or show one's own
understanding of the meaning of ; to construe;
to give one's own conception of. And
the word conception comes from the word to conceive which is the beginning of
the process of life.

Now, what did Satan do? Satan had the others anointed. Now, Satan
anoints his servants. Oh, sure, uh-huh, sure. He anoints his servants. What does he anoint them with? With unbelief.
Satan and his demons anoints humanity to disbelieve
God's Word. Now, if you want to confirm that, you turn to Genesis 3:4. Let's
just turn back there and listen to this just a minute, and see if that ain't his first tactic. That's the first thing he did; he
never leaves his same tactics; he does it all the time. Now, just see if
that--that's what it is. Now, he didn't
disagree with the Word; he just caused her to kind a misconstrue that a little,
you know, just kind a make It sound like
the way he wanted It to sound--don't take the whole Word.

It's your faith. God has to have some
sort of an object. He sent His Word. You... That's the real foundation there,
the Word. Then He finds out that people
has misconstrued It and set it this way and that way.
Then when He seen the end drawing nigh, the time for deliverance again, He
sends an Angel down out of heaven that verifies it, proves it scientifically to
the Church by the witness today. If
Jesus should come today, the world is without excuse. Amen. He's here.

That's the same way sin begin in the garden of
Eden. That's how death started by sin,
was when one word of God was misconstrued or doubted. You can't doubt or misplace one word of God that's THUS SAITH THE LORD...?...
Word be so.

Now, we're in
the evening time. And the messengers down through the age...
We find out that at the beginning when a messenger was sent, to--to misconstrue His Word or to doubt one
Word, it was total annihilation and eternal separation from God, to misconstrue that messenger's Word. And the first Messenger was God Himself.
And the--every other messenger has been God speaking through man since, which
is God's Word, for there's no man then for Him to speak through but just the
one He was talking to. But since He's made man and redeemed man, it's been God
speaking through man. He uses not the--the agency of--of any mechanical device,
but the agency of man, a man that's
surrendered and consecrated to God.

V-10 N-5 62-0603
And in that age God called a man called
Noah, just a common man, farmer, because he was found godly in his generation.
And God dealt with that one man on the subject of "build an ark."
Because, sin, we notice that in that time that "The daughters of--of the
men," the Bible said, "saw... the sons of God saw the daughters of
men." Discussing it, where many of
the writers think that that was sons of God that the fallen angels pressed
themselves into spirit. I don't see how a man could think that. That would make
him a creator, make Satan a creator. Satan's no creator; Satan is the perverter of creation
(See?), all. A lie is only the truth mistold. An adultery is the right act misconstrued. See?
And that's exactly what sin is. Satan cannot create,
he can only pervert what has been created.

Now, we find then in this great time of--of the beginning, when God
fortified His children in this fortress of His Word, and--and told them, now
that was it... Now, just think: Eve didn't just turn the whole thing down. She
didn't say, "Well, God, I guess, is altogether wrong. I don't believe a
word of it." No. "I believe half of it, Lord." No. Satan just misconstrued a little bitty
fraction of It, not all of it, just a little bit of it. And because that
she listened to that one little term, it caused every funeral procession, made
every grave, made every gray hair, every sick baby, every sin that was ever
committed, because of just taking one little speck of God's Word and just
misplacing It.

See, that's the way they might've had it all drawed
up. But God has His own way of doing things. See, see? He come just exactly with the Scripture, but
they had the Scripture misconstrued. I wonder if He comes, if He'd come
tonight, if a lot of us haven't got it all messed up. But the main thing
is, be ready when He comes; that--that's the thing. No matter which way God sends Him, just let Him come the way He is, way
He's--He's got planned for Him to come. Some of us got Him coming on a
white cloud, some on a white horse. I don't care how He comes, just so I'm
ready when He comes. I--I want to see Him. And I'm studying hard to know just
exactly what the Scripture says, so I'll know Him when He appears. You see?
Watch what the Scripture says about Him.

One Word of God misplaced, or misconstrued,
or It not accepted, breaks the whole Chain. "Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of
the mouth of God." Why is it,
women, you hear me preach against these things, of wearing shorts, and paints,
and--and hair-do's of this here bobbed hair, and all that kind of stuff, and
then every year when I come back you're still sitting in the same condition? Is because you're leaning to your own understanding instead of the
Word of the Lord. And, pastors,
why don't you clean up your church? Because you're going to
your denominational creed instead of the Word of the Lord. That's right.
Lean not to your own understanding. Well, lean not to your own understanding,
but upon the Word of the Lord. They
would not accept it, because they would not accept vindication. Jesus come with
a--a Gospel, just exactly the way He said He would come. Even many times...

In the beginning God fortified His people with His Word. One word misconstrued caused every death,
every heartache, every sorrow. Eve--she never
broke a sentence, she broke a word. When Jesus come in the middle of the
Book... That was the first of the Book. When Jesus come
in the middle of the Book, what did He say? "It is written that man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God." In the last of the Book, Revelations the 22nd
chapter, the 18th verse, the very last part of the Bible, Jesus speaks Himself,
said, "I testify that if any man shall take one word out of this Book or
add one word to It, his part will be taken out of the Book of Life, because
he's a false prophet and has misconstrued the people and their blood will be
accounted to his hand, of doing so." We must keep that one place of worship, that
is, Jesus Christ the Word, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen! All right. Remember, there's no other meeting place to
worship, not a place. God chose it.

Therefore, if you've tonight, just come and said, "I offer Jesus
Christ my life," and you're never received the Holy Ghost, come into It!
You must do it! You must grow into It! Ask
God to pile Word on top of Word like that until you become the full statue of a
son of God or a daughter of God. Taking the things of the world... I John
says, "If you love the world or the things of the world, it's because the
love of God is not even in you." You've been deceived. You got the love of
the world there, and it's deceived you, the devil has, by piling things on
there and showing... See, you can't... When the... You cannot take one word of
God out of the Bible! What caused the first sin? Not by just a big point blank
lie, but because Eve misconstrued (the devil did to her) one word. One word broke
the chain, and Eve refused to take one word. That was the beginning of the
Bible. Jesus came in the center of the Bible; He said, "Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God." That's the entire Word of God. Do you believe that's
the revelation of Him? The entire Word of God. Then in Revelation 22, Jesus came to John on
the Isle of

Now,
the 5th verse shows that He is the door. By now, many other invisible proofs,
this gate, and Name, and place can be proved to be there's only one place that
God meets man to worship, and that's when he's in Christ.

Now, now the question is, "How do we get in Him?" Now, this
may pinch just a little bit; but, you know, like taking medicine, if it don't
make you sick, it don't do you no good. See?

Now, the Lutherans wanted to get in one way, by joining the Lutheran
church. The Methodists wanted to get in by shouting. The Pentecostals wanted to
get in by speaking in tongues. That still ain't it!
See? No, that's gifts, so forth. But I Corinthians 12 says,
"By one Spirit." Spirit of God, which is the
Life-giver to the Word (the Seed), to vindicate that Seed for that season.
See?

Here's the Methodist-age seed laying there, it taken the Holy Spirit to
make that seed come to life and pure... purify the church by sanctification;
Luther didn't preach that, 'cause he didn't know it. The Pentecostals wanted to
speak in tongues for the restoration of the gifts. Each one declares,
"That's It! That's It!" See?

"But by one Spirit we're all baptized into one Body," and that
Body is a family, the family of God. And that's the house of God, and the house
of God is the Name of Jesus Christ. "The Name of the Lord is a mighty
tower, the righteous run into It and are safe."

Now, how you going to come in by a title? How's your check going to be
received by saying, "Pay to the order of--of Reverend, Doctor, Minister"? No. See? See? You might be a reverend,
doctor, minister. But the name of the Lord is "Jesus Christ." See?

"I have chose to put My Name at the door of the house of My
worship, for My family will be gathered in there under the Blood; like it was
in Egypt, anything outside died. And in there there's no leavened bread!
There's no denominational mixture in It anywhere, My
house! My children, borned of My
genes!" Amen! Glory to God! "My genes are in them! My...
I put My Word in them. I will write them upon the tables of their heart. That's
My family, the family of the Body of Jesus Christ; the
family. And this door you'll come in, not Methodist, Baptist, or Pentecostal,
but in the door where I put My Name." It ain't
Methodist. God's Name ain't Methodist. God's Name ain't Pentecostal. God's Name ain't
Baptist. God's Name ain't Catholic. Stay out of the
doors then. See? See? See?

"But in a place where I choose to put My Name." Now, there's
not another place in the Bible given where that God ever put His Name, only in
Jesus Christ, for He is the Son of God taking the Name of God, and God's human
Name. "And there's not another name given under Heaven whereby you must be
saved." I don't care, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, catechisms, or
whatever you want to do; only through the Name of Jesus Christ where every knee
shall bow and every tongue shall confess to it, Him being Lord. There's how you
come in.

And if you was just baptized in water right--right, and then deny the
Word, then you're illegitimate; your birth wasn't correct. You claim that you
believed Him then, and you deny Him.

My action, and the vindication of God's Word in
my life shows whether I'm a child of God or not. Now, there's God's only place.
See it? The only place that God will receive your sacrifice (I don't care how
sincere you are) is in Christ.
