<TITLE>15. Par 65-70</TITLE>L-65 I said, "So does Pilgrim Holiness, if you want to ask the different questions or debate about the different churches." But I said, "Looky here, brother, the first place, you don't even know what the Sabbath is."
Oh, he said, "It's Sunday."
I said, "It is?"
He said, "Then I guess you're Seventh Day Adventist."

L-66 I said, "No, sir. But you don't know what the Sabbath is. Let me show what the Sabbath is." I said, "Isaiah 28:18, he... the prophet said that all the tables of the Lord would become full of vomit, like today. Said, 'Who can I teach doctrine, who can I make understand.' He said, 'Precept must be upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little; hold fast to that what's good. For with stammering lips and with other tongues will I speak to this people. And this is the rest that I said they should hear.'"
I said, "And you're a criticizing the very thing that you think that we're not keeping." Hallelujah. That's right. I said, "Brother, don't worry; we got our sails set towards Calvary, and the Holy Ghost is blowing the wind right on them." I said, "It's right." I said, "That's the rest; that's the Sabbath keeping."

L-67 Jesus said, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and heavy laden and I'll give you rest to your souls." And Isaiah said that rest was stammering lips and other tongues would He speak to this people. And this is the keeping of the Sabbath.
Now, what about that? How's that? Where was it ever changed or anything else? Jesus verified the same statement. Paul in the Hebrews the 4th chapter verified the same statement. He said, "God did speak of the seventh day in this wise, again He limited another day saying to David after so long a time, 'When you hear My voice, harden not your heart.'"

L-68 That's right. The entering in of the Holy Ghost... Said, "For we," that's got the Holy Ghost, "have... when we have received Christ in our heart we've ceased from our works like God did from His and rested the seventh." That's right. There you are. There's the real Sabbath keeping. See what I mean? It's when the Holy Spirit comes in, God gives you the seal of your faith.
Now, all those things are... Probably this poor man had been criticized, everything. And Jesus walked in, and here he was out there, cutting himself and wringing himself and carrying on. Jesus, seeing that he was in that condition, as soon as Jesus started walking up to him, the man wanted to be very religious. That's the way the devil does.

L-69 The devil is religious as he can be, smart, scholarly, polished, but yet know no more about God than a rabbit would know about snow shoes. And here he comes up, walks up like that and falls down and worships Jesus, this maniac did. Well, you say, "Would that be the devil?" Why, Judas even come and kissed Him and betrayed Him by a kiss.
Religious spirits, certainly they are. Someone said, "Well..." This fellow goes ahead to write and said, "Why, religious spirits," said, "don't get around them Pentecostal people." Said, "If you do, that spirit will get on you." And said, "It's of the devil." Don't get on... That's right.

L-70 Listen. He said, "The Bible said," said, "there was... Believe not every spirit, but try them see if they're of--of God." That's exactly what the Bible did. And Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." See if that's right or not, try it by the Spirit. Sure.
And the religious spirit all down through every age has always been a denier. The devils spirit that's religious has denied the real genuine Spirit. And every time God's Spirit comes, signs and wonders follows the Spirit.
Look in the days back there when Cain worshipped. He had a form of godliness. He built an altar; he built a church; he built everything just as religious as Ad... Abel was. But look, here's a little something... I'm way off my subject; I don't aim to keep it anyhow.
