the church, you know, wouldn’t that be silly? God’s people have never all been alike before. There have always been a few who had too much and some who didn’t have enough, and all the phases in between? We are all becoming. We are not there yet. We are on the way. All right. Now it must be taught to follow the Lord, to hear the voice of God, to follow the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Now those who teach this doctrine of absolute submission have the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, Revelation 2:15 , which Jesus said, “I hate.” He didn’t say He hated the people. He hated the doctrine they have. The doctrine of the Nicolaitans, where “Nicolaitans” means ruler of the people, and that’s what you’ve got moving in the guise of holiness in many places today. This doctrine subdues the minds and wills of people into passivity, opening a door for a spirit of deception to take place, to lock in. They want the minds and wills of the people to be like putty so they can be shaped. God doesn’t want that. He wants his people to develop and to lovingly follow those He sets in authority over them.

But I know from the attitude of the people, they must have had some prima donnas through, because the people are so nervous for fear it won’t suit me and I’ll be angry. Well I didn’t go there to be angry at anybody but the devil. I really get on the high horse for him sometimes, and I just look in amazement, and I think, “Lord, what have we got running around,” and I come across the trail of some of these great ones. Thank God I’m not great if that’s what it takes. You wouldn’t believe some of the things they’ve done, some of the stunts they’ve pulled. Some of the requirements they’ve made of these good people. I think, “my, my, my.” Those are the kind of people who build soul ties, who’ve gone about making a name for themselves. Jesus said the greatest among you will be the
