<TITLE>09. Par 33-36</TITLE>L-33 The devil takes his man but never the spirit. It come upon Cain; it come all down through the ages in the Pharisee's, and plumb down into this day in religious teachers. This ain't blanchy milk. Look, my brother, there's Cain... If we're going to say fundamental, Cain was just as fundamental as Abel was. If believing on God, worshipping God, belonging to church, making sacrifice... He was just as fundamental in his belief as Abel was.
But Abel had a vision from the Lord; it was spiritual revealed truth that it wasn't apples that brought them out of the garden of Eden. Certainly it wasn't. It was blood that brought him from the garden of Eden. Life, lays in the blood stream, not in apples. And he had a recompense to it. He believed God, because God had revealed it to him.
And notice, that religious spirit become angry with this religious spirit and persecuted him and absolutely slew him. Is that right? I begin to feel religious. Look, brother, you know Baptists shout too, sometime, when they get the Holy Ghost.

L-34 Notice, on this, watch them two spirits of those boys. Watch it come up through... We could take it if we had time all afternoon, through the different places. Look in the ark. It come on animals just the same way. There was the crow; there was the dove. The crow could fly just as far as the dove; he could make just as many maneuvers in the air as the dove could. But turn them loose, the crow could eat dead things, but the dove didn't have any gall; she couldn't digest it.
So is every believer in Jesus Christ. You can't put that old dead religion down them. There they ain't got no gall to digest it. They live on the spiritual revealed truth of the living God. They just can't do it.

L-35 Esau and Jacob, why, Esau was move of gentlemen looking than Jacob was, but Jacob had recompense to the reward. He believed in that birthright, and he held on to it regardless. There you are.
We can take Israel. When Israel was coming up... Look at these two vines now. I'm bringing them from Genesis, and as they go up.
Now, Christians here, there's many a Lutheran setting here, Baptist, don't condemn them people, they--they lived in their age. Jesus said, "Every Word of God is a Seed." Is that right? A sower went forth sowing seed. He said, "I, the Son of man, has sowed the Seed, and the seed's the Word of God." And every time you see this Bible say anything, it's a Seed, and it's absolutely... And we're sowed with the incorruptible Seed of God. And if a man will take any Divine promise of God in his heart and water it with faith, it'll produce just exactly what it said it would do. Amen. Don't care what it is. Just take God's promise in your heart and there...

L-36 Now, if you plant the seed and then go out every morning and dig it up and...?... say, "See, if it's growing." it'll never grow. Commit it to God and leave it there. Amen. Know that it's so. When the corn first comes up, the farmer looks at that stalk of corn, he said, "Oh, isn't that wonderful." It's got the first two little shoots on it. "It's marvelous." That was the Lutheran church. The Lutheran church stayed there. Right out of there come the Methodist church, the next two shoots of corn come up. The Lutheran begin to wither. Methodist was the day.
Out of Methodist come Pentecost. And them leaves begin to drop down, but they're still part of the corn. It takes it all to make the stalk. We're going on in now. Pentecost is becoming form and different and dried up. But the shoot's going right on up just the same. She's going right on into the seed crop as certain as anything.
