<TITLE>20. Par 66-69</TITLE>L-66 That's what's the matter with people today. They don't want to get shut off from the world. You want to be in contact with who's going to be the next most popular girl in California, in Hollywood. And some of them married six and seven times, and you make that an example. You'll turn on your television at night to see Mary, Susie, or ever what these plays are that come on, and stay home from the prayer meeting, and when wondering why you can't hold on. You're not dead enough. Amen. You can't be two living at one time; you've got to be dead to the world and alive in God; or either you're alive to the world and dead to God. Can't serve two masters at once.
I know that's hard preaching, brother, sister. But that's what the Bible speaks. When you've let the world creep in and intellectual faith has accepted such a thing as that, and know no more about God than a rabbit knows about snow shoes. You know that's the truth. I don't say that for a joke. No, sir. But it's the truth. That's right. 'Cause you love the world...
The Bible said, "He that loves the world, or the things of the world, the love of God is not even in him." That's right.
But, oh, you say, "I belong to church. I'm as good as the next..." Well, that woman thought the same thing, not only her but thousands of others, millions of others.

L-67 But wait, I've seen the wicked in power spread forth like a green could be, the green bay tree, but God said, "Watch him at the end, that's where it tells." That's where it comes. And you better watch for that bed coming, where your going to press the dying pillow one of these days, when the doctor walks away and the veins is coming cooling up arms, and your intellectual souls are broken and all this nonsense that you've went along with and rejected the Holy Spirit. Your soul will come up and recognize that's the truth, and you'll be lost. Your own conscience will haunt you through eternity, when you're having a form of godliness and denying God's Word, saying that "He once was God, but He's gone away. He did back yonder, but He can't today." Don't you do that.

L-68 Notice, when Aaron went in there in this holy place in the holiest of holies, the man who lived in there, lived in perfection all the time. The manna was fresh. It didn't dry up, neither did it get contaminated. If you ever get to a place where you can be so hid away in God, until the outside world is dead, and the veil drops over you... You see what I mean? When the veil shades you from the outside world... Was you ever so lost in Christ, so prayed through, until the world, you had no more to do with it at all; you walked humbly every day before Christ, loving Him first. There's what you need. Down on the inside, eat manna.

L-69 It was good at nine o'clock. It was good at twelve o'clock; it was good year in and out. It was good forever, hundreds of years and spaces of time rolled on, and the manna never did get contaminated. It was good and sweet and fresh all the time. The man that lives in there has always got the victory. He's in the Presence of God. He's always got victory. Nine o'clock, doesn't matter to him, whether the church goes on, that doesn't matter to him. He's still anchored in Christ. The outside world, all the things of the world is dead to him, and he's hid away in God. His heart has become God's throne. God give him a new spirit, and taken him in the veil, and when He did, He feeds him Manna daily right out of the golden omer that sets in the holiest of holies.
Not only that, but Aaron took his rod in there and left it one time, and left it twenty-four hours. You know what happened to that rod? It come to life. It blossomed, bloomed, and yielded almonds in twenty-four hours.
