We have no right to use our MINDS

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

See, that’s just the nature of man. He wants his own way. And God did not make man to desire his own way. God made man to depend on Him, to forsake his ways to crucify his way. He likened us unto sheep. And the sheep is one animal that cannot find his own way. He must be led. A little lamb can lose hisself from the fold, and he’s just totally lost. He just stands there and bleats.

And that’s the way it is with the human being. If he becomes a lamb, if his nature is changed, he depends wholly upon God and upon God’s leading. But the earth man, when Adam realized that he had fallen from that estate, where God had him wholly depending on Him, Adam quickly showed his second nature, his fallen nature. And he wanted a way back, to be redeemed, but he wanted to do it his way and after his own thinking.

15 I trust that the church will understand this: that we have no right to use our own thinking about things. When we become Christians, we totally surrender every bit of our mental powers to God and follow after His leading. And as long as we try to go after our own feeling, then we are using the fallen state of the being.

’Cause God led Adam before the fall; and after the fall, Adam wanted to lead God. Now, God provided Adam a way, but he didn’t want that way. He wanted to make himself a religion. And as we see that he—he wanted to do it himself. He wasn’t willing to wait on God, and say, “Lord, You led me before this. And now I’m fallen; I’m lost. Now, help me and show me how to get back to You, Lord.” We’d have never had all this trouble we got today.

16 And if man will just come that close to God, that when you’re lost, don’t try to find your way back. Just surrender to Him, and He will lead you back. Don’t try to figure it out. That’s—that’s the mental powers.

SALVATION is an INDIVIDUAL AFFAIR between every person and God . NOT with our nation, with our church, but with ourselves before God we answer. The WALK with Christ is an INDIVIDUAL WALK. You walk, you stand ALONE with you and God alone. NOT you and the pastor, you and God alone. NOT you and the deacon. Sometimes you and your wife, you and your husband, but you and God alone. You stand alone on your convictions. Salvation is not a church affair. It's an INDIVIDUAL AFFAIR . Church is a gathering place where we come in one common grounds and worship God. But salvation isn't because you've joined the church, it's because you've believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and accepted Him as your personal Saviour. It's NOT a church affair. It's an INDIVIDUAL AFFAIR. It's NOT whether my church is saved; it's whether I AM saved. It isn't whether my deacon's saved, or my pastor's saved, or my mother's saved; it's whether I A...

YES, SOME PEOPLE CAN BE GOOD, UPRIGHT, HOLY-LIVING BUT STILL BE LEFT BEHIND THE RAPTURE~

QUOTE : "Now we have been constantly saying that the true evidence of being baptized with the Holy Ghost is for the believer to receive the WORD for the AGE in which he lives. And there'll be a GROUP of people that's GOOD, UPRIGHT, HOLY LIVING, God-saved people, that will NOT be in the RAPTURE; and they'll come up in the second resurrection. Now, who places the pattern? God by election. Amen. God by election places the pattern. How many of you, all perhaps, have read of the virgins? Some were wise and some were FOOLISH. "VIRGIN" means "PURITY." They were all GOOD people, everyone of them virgin, sanctified vessels of God. But those who had oil in their lamps went in. And the others was left OUT. They were all virgins, everyone people that you couldn't put your finger on for anything wrong. They everyone believed in the coming of the Lord. They were ready to go meet Him, but some of them let their OIL go OUT. Don't let th...
