<TITLE>11. Par 35-37</TITLE>L-35 And let me speak this just a minute. Did you know where class come from? Class is of the devil. Now, that's THUS SAITH THE LORD of the Bible. Class and pomp came from the devil. In the very beginning when Cain and Abel come up to worship, Cain come before the Lord in class. Abel came in righteousness by revelation.
Now, look, when Cain came, he brought the fruits of the field, everything that grows, the flowers and everything, and decorated his altar; and he worshipped God, a true picture of the carnal church member today, and the carnal minded pastor who wants a church that sits higher than the rest of them in the city, and--and their seats all plush and a million dollar pipe organ. God don't care [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] that for that. Right, don't have a thing... You that's a lot of those great big places like that and dun your people until their just about poor paupers and everything else with all your stuff to put in the church, and thousands of heathens dying on the mission field without knowing Christ one time. Right. It's a disgrace to Christianity. Yes.
Oh, if you only could see one time, you'd know what I was speaking of. Build them million dollar church, and two thirds of the world never heard of Jesus Christ. What a pity...

L-36 Now, watch him. Then it was class, and Cain came anointed with Satan and made a great big classical thing. But now, Abel, when he came, he never come in class, but he come in revelation. The Bible said in Hebrews 3 that, "Abel by faith offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain." And the only way he did it was by faith and faith in what? The Word of God, 'cause that's the only thing you can have faith in. God had revealed to him that it was the blood. And Cain had a beautiful offering, yet not covered in blood. And Abel didn't have a beautiful offering, but it was covered in blood, and it was according to the Word. And God recognized it, because it was His Word.
And today, God's not watching the great big church, how build--its biggest builder, how well the--their choir can sing, or all this and the other, or what class of people, whether they're well dressed or not well dressed in your church. He is not looking for such things as that, no, not by a million miles, He's not.

L-37 He's watching for someone to come the way of the Blood, revelation. And Abel, by faith, he heard the Word of God, and took God at His Word; and by faith in the Word of God, God received him. That's the only way God will ever receive anybody, is by taking God at His Word by revelation that God will keep His Word.
God said the Holy Ghost is good for this day; that settles it for me. If God put His power in the Church to heal the sick and cast out devils... And the prophets and so forth, set them in the church, and promised it, that they would be to the end of the world; that's satisfies it to me. That they had any theologian, or how much they can do like a worm in a lemon, run here, squeeze out here, and squeeze out there; it doesn't make a bit of difference. God said so, and that settles it. Let's stay with God; have faith in His Word.
