<TITLE>21. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 There's a many a man in Sturgis tonight that's the same way. That old idle stick was an idle stick off of an olive tree. That's right. There's a many a man and woman setting in these big churches around here that's maybe a stick off of a tree. They intend to be Christians. They can't see the supernatural. They've never had it to them. They don't know what it means to be born again. They don't know. They seen a lot of phony stuff, maybe, a lot of bogus stuff, a lot of makeup stuff, and it's blinded it from them. But that don't take away from the real; hear my word. It only makes the real more realer. What happened?

L-71 If you accepted Christ sincerely and you believe it, then brothers come into the holiest of holies and it'll yield the fruits of the Spirit. In twenty-four hours, a stick that was dead, lived, blossomed, yielded blossoms, and almonds in twenty-four hours.
Let a man or a woman that don't believe in the supernatural, let and man and a woman that can't believe the days of miracles, let them hide behind the holiest of holies, and the veil of God's Son will drop between them and the world; in less than twenty-four hours they'll believe every Word of God's Word is the truth. Amen.
The reason, you don't go in behind the veil... You say, "Well, I'm a Christian, I--I'm--I'm taken of God's goodness."
Yes, but you're in the outer courts. Come in and hide away. I'm not yelling at you. I'm only trying to let you see what's truth. Then visions will be nothing for you. Then the Presence of God, you'll walk sweetly with the Lamb of God every day. You're living in the Presence of the King every day, every hour.

L-72 Let the neighbors say what they want to. Let your church say that you're--you've lost your mind. That won't bother you a speck. You just live right on in the Presence of the King, because the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. The intellectual faith that you have is foolishness to God. And so is the--the power of God, foolish to the world. But it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save them which was lost.
Understand, friends, you're living in a devil's world. This is not God's world. The devil said it was his. The devil took Jesus up and said, "See all the kingdoms?" United States, and all. Said, "Them are mine. I can do with them what I want to. And I will give them to You, if You'll worship me."
Jesus knowed that He would fall heir to them someday in the millennium; He said, "Get thee behind me, Satan. It's written, thou shall...?... See that Holy Spirit agreeing with the Word. "It's written thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve." Amen. He knowed He didn't meet Moses there. Certainly.

L-73 Jesus knowed. The Bible said, "Rejoice all you heavens, and you holy prophets, and you earth. For the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ, and He will reign forever," in the Book of Revelation. Jesus knowed He was coming Heir to all of them. But this is the devil's world. That's the reason you got fighting, and war, and troubles, atomic bombs, and murders, and rapes, and everything, because it's a devil's world and controlled by the devil. But you're not of this world. You're in the Kingdom of God.
I don't blame the sinner from sinning. If the sinner goes down and drink beer, and--and smoke cigars, and goes to picture shows, and things like that, and acts like the world, I don't blame him. That's the only pleasure he's got now, and is the only pleasure he's ever going to have. That's right. I don't blame a pig for sticking his nose in the manure pile and eating manure. Certainly not, he's a pig. Let him alone.
