E-18 Now, l--lov--fellowship
comes by love. And love
requires fellowship. If you love your wife, you've just got to get
with her and talk with her. If you love your friend, you've got to get with him
and talk to him. And if you love God, there's got to be a basis for fellowship.
You cannot have complete fellowship and--and livelihood without these
agreements.
You cannot be married without an agreement. You cannot have a wife
without some kind of an agreement. And that agreement is based upon your vow.
You cannot have fellowship
with God without coming to God's agreement. And there's a basic thing for
fellowship, and that's the Blood, the Blood only. It's been God's way
from the beginning, and it will be till the end. The only place of fellowship
is through the Blood.

E-30 Look at
And now that man coming to
Jesus Christ today, and coming through the blood, comes into the Blood cell in
fellowship by the Holy Spirit, becomes a part of God, has God's Life in him,
becomes a son and daughter of God. It's just as impossible for that man to be lost,
as it is for God Himself to be lost.

E-59 But today, our men, our women are getting
away from that. They're get away from the old
fashioned landmarks we used to go by. You ought to get back to that old
Pentecostal landmark. What you need here in this valley (as I looked around
today) is an old fashion, God
sent, sky blue, sin killing religion, the power of the Gospel back in the
churches again; back through the Blood of the Lord Jesus, into the fellowship
by relationship, by being borned of the Holy Spirit,
entering into the Pentecostal Shekinah. Amen!
I'm not beside myself; I know where I am. Oh, but brother, sister,
to get caught away into that Shekinah Glory where just
you and God alone are standing, fellowshipping. That's the only approach that I
know of.

E-62 Now, the great evangelist had a good thing,
but I think he approached it wrong. He said, "The thing of it is; it's you
lazy preachers set with your feet on the desk and don't go out and talk to the
people. So there's where it lays."
I thought, "But Billy, what preacher laid his foot on the
desk with that one of Paul's conversion?" It was because that today, we
just stop at the waters of separation and don't take them into the fellowship
with the Holy Ghost and the power of the Shekinah
Glory. You get that man in that condition, he will burn a city down with the
Gospel; nothing can stop him. He's got the Spirit of God upon him; he don't
need nobody to coax him. God's right in him, just
burning up the sin as he goes. He can't stand still. Why? He's entered into the fellowship
by relationship.
Relationship: He's borned again; he's a new creature in Christ. He come through the waters of separation; he walked through the
Blood of sanctification; he went into the fellowship of the Holy Ghost. Yes,
sir, he was born, and he--into the fellowship; God's only provided approach.
There's no other approach nowhere, no time, or any way, only through that.
As I said: Our denominations, I appreciate them. Our creeds,
that's perfectly all right. They serve their purpose; but brother, they'll
never take the place of the Blood of Jesus Christ. They can't, because that's
God's only basis. We should be zealous of our denomination, trying to make it
grow. That's fine; that's good; I appreciate it. But that'll never take the
place of the Blood. No, sir.

69 May the Lord add His blessings to His Word;
speaking of redemption and fellowship.
And there's many times, as we look and see that--that the... Us,
the mortal beings of this earth, how that we become tossed about, and strayed
around across the world. I don't believe there's anybody that's got a Christian
spirit, could look upon the world today, that... and
wouldn't groan in their spirit. I've often wondered how that--that people today
take this life so lightly. It's not nothing lightly. This is the very reason we're
put here on earth, is to worship and come to God, and to come into His
fellowship. And to see men wondering around, as if they didn't have any God,
that there was no God. Man has driven himself out in that kind of a condition.

E-66 And when they took him, drug him off the...
out of the--the Sanhedrin council, throwed him out
into the street--the
church people did--throwed him out there in the
street, because he had had fellowship through relationship by the Blood of
Jesus Christ, God's Son. They picked up stones and begin to smash
his head with them. But in the midst of all of it, even the stones beating him
from side to side, the meat flying off, his scalp
flying, and the blood gushing out, his lips and his teeth falling, that could
not separate him. He looked up and said, "I see Jesus."
Hallelujah! Why? He'd come by the way of the Blood; that's God's
only approach. Even death couldn't separate him. The clods of persecution, the
spit, the... Nothing could separate him from the love of God. He'd come by the
right approach; he'd come by the Blood.
