“That's what's the matter with Christians today. We so soft-soaped them, and we shook their hands and brought them in by secret, and joined them into the church. What they need is an old-fashion prayer altar where they pray through, until using themselves, come in God's provided way, till they free themselves from the world. The trouble of it, today, they put their name on the book and join church, and that's all there is to it. But God's way, provided way, is to stay there and work your way through, until God gives you the NEW BIRTH. That's exactly right. Pick him out, it'll kill him. That's what's the matter, today, with the people. A NEW BIRTH, they all dodge it. They don't like it. Oh, they have substituted something for the NEW BIRTH, "come up and believe, and that's all you have to do." The Devil believes, himself, and you know he is not BORN AGAIN. There is a NEW BIRTH. There is something goes with it, it's kind of unfitting, untasting to the world. Any birth is a mess. I don't care where it's at. If it's in the pig pen, or--or a hospital. A birth is a mess. So is the NEW BIRTH! It'll make you do things you didn't think you would do. It'll make you get down at the altar and cry, scream, wash the paint off your face, raise your hands, praise God, speak in tongues, and all kinds of things. The NEW BIRTH will do that because it's God's provided way to be born again. >>You have to die. You have to die before you can be REBORN. Any seed has to die before it's regenerated again. Unless it dies, it abides alone. A man has got to die to his own thinking. He's got to die to the thinking of anything but God's Word, and come His way. That's God's ground. We don't meet Him on our thoughts; we meet Him on what He said do. That's God's provided way for it. People dodge it; they don't want it. But it's true, just the same. It'll, it produces death, and you have to die, die to your thinking. "Well, I know the Bible says it, but I can't understand it." Then stay there till God reveals it. That's right. It's got... That's the NEW BIRTH. >>That's the way man ought to do today, not be herded in by some denominational coop. But come in the way God said come in, by the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the NEW BIRTH, swarming revival. Not church joining, soliciting from door to door, and passing magazines; but a Birth, being BORN AGAIN, filled with the Holy Ghost, God's way, freeing himself from the world. Right! Believing God's Word! The hour is here. That's what we must believe.” [God's Provided Way For This Day, Bakersfield CA 64-0206E]

“That's the reason I don't believe any man-made system can stand. God has got one provided way. It isn't Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian; but it's Jesus Christ, by the NEW BIRTH, believing that Bible. That's God's provided way, and the only way that He has, is in Jesus Christ, His Son. And, in His Son, He placed His Name. His! God's Name is Jesus, 'cause He came in His Father's Name. And so that would be God's Name, because He was God.” [God's Provided Place Of Worship, Los Angeles CA 65-0425]

“That's my Message to you, Church, you that's a union, spiritual union by the Word, that you're dead to these old husbands. You're born anew. Don't try to dig him up. He's dead. If you're a BORN-AGAIN Christian, that little germ that was predestinated to you, it's Word coming on Word, on Word, on Word, on Word, and come into full statue of Christ, that's right, so He can come get His Bride. Now we're just ready for one thing, that's the Coming of the Lord.” [The Invisible Union Of The Bride Of Christ, Shreveport LA 65-1125]

“He'd come to a place to where he calls it here, being tempted of the Lord. But I'd like to use the word, being "tested" by the Lord. And truly, "Every son that cometh to God must first be tested, tried, child-trained." And then if the testing gets hard, and we think it's too hard and won't listen (take heed), then He said we "become a illegitimate child, and not a child of God." Because, there's nothing can move a real, BORN-AGAIN Child of God away from his Parent, see, he's part of Him. You can no more deny it, you deny yourself. See, you've had the experience, you've been trained and tested.” [I Have Heard But Now I See, Shreveport LA 65-1127E]

“That's the same thing in the church. They're trying to mix the denomination with the Word, to make the... try to make the Word say what the denomination says. And when you do that, you have to spray them, and baby them, and--and give them gold stars to come to Sunday school, and everything else. That's right.
