<TITLE>10. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 See what I mean? You're cage of the, "Oh, glory to God, we outdone them. Hallelujah. Look over yonder, the old buzzards roost; they ain't got nothing today. I'll tell our Sunday school's a bigger than one than theirs, and we've done this, that, and the other. Glory to God, look at all of our class coming up in Cadillacs. Look what they got over the old T model Fords." They might be a lot better off than you are. Rejoice not in iniquity, but rejoice in truth. Amen.
Oh, my. Believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth, long-suffering, goodness, gentleness, patience, that's the Holy Spirit. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, gentleness, patience; that's the fruit of the Spirit.

L-33 We put it over on something else. Because you lay hands on the sick and they get well, they say, "Well, brother, he's really got it." Because someone can speak in tongues, and someone give the interpretation, "Brother, he's got it. Yes, sir. I know I heard him speak in tongues; I know he's got it, I seen him heal the sick. He saw a vision; he had a revelation. Oh, preach, you never heard a man preach like that." None of those things are the sign you got it.
Paul said, "Though I speak with tongues like men and angels. Though I have the gift of prophesy, I understand all the knowledge and wisdom of the Bible, and everything, I am nothing."
Jesus said, "Many will come to Me in that day under this same theology in faith."
And say, "Well now, haven't I cast out devils in Your Name? And in Your Name have I preached, prophesied? I've done many mighty works."
He will say, "Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity, I don't even know you."

L-34 You see it? God is our eternal Judge, whether you have the Holy Spirit or not, no one can judge you, God alone. But we have a sign that says, "By their fruits you shall know them." Not by their church affiliation, but by their fruits you shall know them. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that affiliation with church is a sign. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that shouting is a sign. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that speaking in tongues is a sign. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that healing the sick is a sign. The sign of the believer is the fruits of the spirit. And the fruits of the Spirit is not seeing visions, not healing the sick, not speaking with tongues, not shouting. The fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience. Amen. That's the seal of God. Amen.
That may sound just a little flat-footed, but we're going on down the Old Testament in a few minutes. That's right. Bring it out to the New and find out that isn't just right. That's the truth. Brother, if you get back on the right foot and get started, God will shake this nation with a revival. But you got to get back to God, lay aside every weight the sin that so easily besets you, and run with patience the race that's set before you, looking to the Author and Finisher, not to your church...
