<TITLE>13. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 Sure the devil has a pattern for everything God has. He has a hypocrite out there trying to act like a Christian. That don't mean there is no Christians. It's true. He has an old witch setting out there on the corner, and a--a mental psychic reader setting over there with a fortuneteller. She is a devil trying to impersonate a prophet. But that doesn't take away the value of a prophet. Certainly not. It just only magnifies the prophet.
A bogus dollar don't mean there ain't a real one. It means there is a real one. If it wouldn't, that would be the real. If there was no... If a bogus dollar... If there wasn't one it was made off of, it would be the real. A bogus dollar only shows that there's something real.
A man shouting with a... acting a hypocrite and going out and living any kind of a life and coming in church. That only shows that there is a genuine Christian somewhere.
Hear a man raise up with the gifts of the Spirit and give message, and go out and live with somebody else's wife, or drink or carry on. That only shows there is a genuine article somewhere. Amen. That'll do you good. Let it scour down, sink in right deep. Notice. That's right.

L-48 Notice. I said, "The first thing, in fifty years she never mentioned Christ. She never mentioned God. She never mentioned Divine healing. She never mentioned eternity. She never mentioned hell. She never mentioned heaven. It was all some kind of a frolic of some dead person that was gone. See? I said, "Looky here on this side, where the Holy Spirit come." I said, "The thing it does, it mentions Christ, God, repentance, hell for the sinner and heaven for the saint, Divine healing, resurrection. Why," I said, "if you picked up a dollar or any man picked up a dollar, if you looked at it, the first thing, if it was all no good at all, you'd say there is nothing to it."
But it has to impersonate. And so does the devil impersonate Christ. It's true. But the first thing, if you picked up a dollar, you'd feel for the value of it. First thing, a dollar is not made altogether out of paper. It's silk. And you feel the value of it. If it wasn't a real dollar, you could tell it by the looking at it, feeling it.

L-49 The first thing, look what she did over here: nothing for God. Look what the Holy Spirit does over here: everything for God. This declares nothing. This declares God. I said, "Now, if you want to be sure about it, take the dollar, and take the name off of it--the letters off of it. And take it back to the mint. And see if there is enough silver there. If that dollar is recorded at the mint, if that number is on there, there is a dollar's worth of silver or gold to take it's place."
And I said, "That's the way to do this. Look down and take the value of it. Whether it's--whether it's of God and what's not." I said, "If it's doing God's work, then the Holy Spirit of the Bible said, 'These signs shall follow them that believe.' You can't find nothing on a spiritualist or a devil. It's over here."

L-50 Now, here's what it is that you might know and see for sure. A person lives in a channel like this. I wrote a letter to the public, that they'd be sure to understand. See, the--the American people are so hypnotized with different theologies. And the Bible said they'd be that way. Did you know that? Said, "When they go from the east and the west, north and south, seeking to find the true Word of God and fail to find it."
Dr. So-and-so believes it this way; and Dr. So-and-so believes it this way. And they kick out the Blood. They kick out the Atonement. They kick out the power. They kick out the Holy Spirit. What they got left? Take the Blood of Jesus Christ out of the Bible and you haven't got no Bible left. Take the baptism of the Holy Ghost out of there, you've got nothing to preach with or on. Amen.
