Two
lights can't shine at the same time.
There can't be a church light and God's Light shine
at the same time.
It's got to be God's Light putting out the church
light.
That's exactly what's
taking place today.
God's separating churchism from His Light of the
promised Word of
this hour that we're living in.
That's the truth, friend.
You
might not want to believe that,
but
you just wait and find out if it's so or not.
[“JESUS COME ON”----THEY
FAILED TO SEE IT...!!!!!]
13 ¶
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men say
that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some [say that thou art]
John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I
am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And
Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh
and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

[READ JOHN
1:6-11. “THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT’S
But when He came,
they was so set in the traditions of the
fathers...
They had their creeds; they
had their fashions; they had their churches.
They were settled down, so it was so hard for
Jesus to try to shake that kingdom (that church) from a creed to believe Him.
And yet the Scriptures especially spoke of this One all the way from the first
dispensation of

when He come, they didn't recognize Him,
because they were so bound in
their creed.

that there'll be a messenger in the last day
that'll gather up these little ends and will bring them together.
And
then the mystery of God would be finished at the sounding of this angel,
which
was a messenger of the earth.
And then
One came down from heaven with
His hands up,
rainbow over His head,
and swore that there'd be
time no more,
an Angel taking an oath.
And when we see this things
materializing,
oh, how sincere we should be.
See,
it's just given for some to
see
and
some cannot see.
That's exactly right.

This Bible said that
the--there'd be false prophets and false christs and so forth that would raise

DEMONOLOGY.2.RELIGIOUS.title CON.IN
DE 41-78 53-0609
When Jesus was here on
earth,
there was them professors, and scholars, and
teachers, some of the best there was out of the better seminaries than we could
produce today, and holy, renowned men; they had to be.
If a Levite was found... He had to be found
blameless, righteous in every way.
than a rabbit knowed about snowshoes.
When Jesus come, he failed
to recognize Him,
and he called Jesus a devil. He said,
"He's Beelzebub, the
prince of the devils."
Is that right?

And remember those priests
wasn't scallawags.
They were gentlemen.
They were holy and without
blemish. Scholars?
they failed to recognize
Jesus Christ to be the Son of God.
They failed to recognize Him,
because what did He do? He tore up
their churches.
He tore down their creeds.

Look at those Pharisees in
the days of Jesus, the Sadducees, and teachers, holy men without blemish,
scholars, had to be born in a certain lineage, Levite. Had to be trained from
youth up in the Scriptures and know every meaning,
and yet
failed to see Jesus and recognize Him,
when the whole Scripture is laying full
of it,
of
His coming.
Get what I mean?

DIVINE.HEALING.title JEFF.IN
V-26 N-10 54-1219M
All them, and
yet, having their heads set strong on one solid thing that they'd been taught,
and not willing to be flexible to the Gospel, the whole power of God, they
failed to recognize the Lord Jesus Christ.
There He was, and the whole Scripture
spoke of Him coming,
but they failed to recognize it,
because they had their own theology.
"We are the
church. And if anything comes, it comes through us. And we rule the countries
and the religion. And we are this, and we are that."

WORST.SINNER.IN.THE.CITY.title MINNEAPOLIS.MN 56-0218E
And many times today people
look at people by the way they're dressed and judge them the same way. Brother,
let me tell you something now. Some of the truest old hearts I've ever knowed
that beat was under an old blue shirt. That's right. It don't have to be a
tuxedo suit with a collar turned in the back. No, sir. God can beat in an old
heart under a blue shirt sometimes.
I've held a many revival and
a great big old boy, hair hanging down in his eyes, didn't know his abc's, and
a blue shirt on, patches on one another, reach up and get me by the hand and
say, "Preacher, I mean it." Brother, you can believe that. That's
right. I'd rather have him with me anytime, than some slicker with a collar
turned around or something walking along, his pigeon-tailed coat on, and called
Doctor, Reverend, Father, or something. And you couldn't trust him as far as
you could reach your hand. That's pretty rough, but that's true.
They failed to recognize Him.

JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME.title CHARLOTTE.NC
56-0426
Now, let's try to be just as
reverent, and listen, and pray as we approach these things. Now, in the--the
Word of God many times we set our--our rules and regulations of just certain
things that could take place. And if it happens contrary to the way that we
think it should be, then we say it's not right.
Now, brethren and friends in Christ,
did you know that's the reason the Jews
in the first coming of the Lord Jesus failed to recognize Him, because He came
contrary to what they had figured out Him coming.
They expected a Messiah to
be different,
but He come exactly according to the
Scripture,
but it wasn't according to their theology,
their teaching.
14
STRAIT.IS.THE.GATE.title JEFF.IN
CH 35-66 59-0301M
And I'm wondering this
morning if I could not liken that generation to this generation. See, it was at
the closing of the Jewish dispensation, and He was referring back to different
ones and different endings of different dispensations, and was telling them
that the very thing that had been done in former dispensations was being done before
them.
And
they failed to recognize it.
15
FAITH.IS.THE.SIXTH.SENSE.title CHATAUQUA.OH

And when He come they failed to recognize Him.
That's a pitiful thing, isn't it?
I think that's one of the
most saddest stories in the world.
The world was made by Him and the world knew
Him not.
Come to His own, His own
received Him not.
That's certainly a sad thought.
16
JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME.title DAWSON.CREEK.BC 61-0519
But the strange thing, when
He arrived, they were so stooped in other things, till they failed to recognize
Him to be the Messiah.
They was so organized, so
tight amongst that... disassociating themselves from one another, Pharisees and
Sadducees and so forth,
just as it is today.

V-2 N-17 63-1229E
And another time-
-another thing, they form
their own opinions of what He ought to be
(See?),
their own idea, instead of taking what the
Word said.
That's the way,
when they look and even see
Jesus Himself, they fail to recognize Him.
They did it on the day of
Pentecost.
They did it when He was in
flesh.
They did it when He was in the manger.
They did it when He was on
the streets of
They did it when He was on the cross,
and He was the fulfillment
of that Word, and yet they had the Messiah coming down on a corridor out of
heaven, and everything else,
and
was wrong,
because it was the intellectual
conception;
and they failed to see Him: and looking right at Him.
18
FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS.title JEFF.IN
V-3 N-16 64-0719M
That's the reason they
failed to recognize Jesus being the Son of God.

eyes,

Then it was their creeds had
gotten them so off of the written Word.
They were so far off,

Who they had prayed for to come.
Their churches had got them
so far away,
till
the very thing that they had
prayed for was right with them,
and it wasn't in their taste,
and so they--they-
-they couldn't believe it.
They had to get away from it.
They ousted it.
