Now, when you see anything, search it, look through it. “Well,” did Jesus say, “if you’d have knowed Me, you would’ve knowed My days. Didn’t Isaiah speak of Me and so forth?” Now, all the prophets spoke of this day. Isn’t that right? These things would be taking place in this day. And said in the last days, scoffers would come. Is that right? Now, look the way He said the spirits would—or the Spirit speak—spake, that in the last days, people would be. They’d be heady. You know what heady means? Highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. Look at these arenas and things over here, the stadiums: Sundays and everything else, they fill up the picture shows and the dance halls. Lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, trucebreakers, incontinent, fierce, and despisers of those that are good…Holy-rollers, hillbillies, and everything else…See…?…Despisers of those that are good. Not as we are good. But my, there’s none good but God. But God is in the people what makes them good, marks the perfect man. It’s God in you that makes it perfect. See? “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” See? “Be ye therefore perfect.” How can you be perfect? Not in yourself, but in Him. God don’t look at you then; He looks at Him. Well, you say, “I’m in Him.” How do you get in Him? By one Spirit we’re all baptized into one Body, and then you’re in Him, when you’re baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body: First Corinthians 12. Is that true? Then in Him…
