<TITLE>06. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 Watch those two trees growing now. They come on up. From Genesis they come up into Exodus. There was Israel, on his road, a interdenomination, on his road across over into a promised land. There was Moab, his brother, had a Bishop. They brought them out there, and both of them brothers, Moab and Jacob; both of them was fundamentally right. Moab had seven altars, seven sacrifices, seven bullocks, and seven rams, speaking of the coming of Christ. Down in the tents--tent of Israel was seven bullocks, seven altars, seven rams. Fundamentally they were both right. But Israel had the revelation. For with Israel... Moab just had stiff star--starchy church, very fundamental. But Moab had fundamentalism, and a lot of nonsense too. But Balaam failed to see that supernatural sign among them, the Pillar of Fire. He failed to see that atonement. He thought that a holy God would curse such a people as that, just an outcast. But it isn't in your works; it's your faith that does it. And they had the supernatural.
The same thing in the days of Jesus to the Pharisees, both of them, fundamentally right. But God was with Christ. And great signs and wonders followed Him.

L-23 Now, these two branches that come up in Genesis, that growed up into a place, they're both going to seed. And here they are today, the same thing, speaking day, "We believe in the virgin birth. We believe in the sacrifice of Christ. We believe in the second coming."
But, brother, God always a vindicates Himself by being in the camp with supernatural signs and wonders. God always makes Hisself known. He's supernatural, and He cannot be anything or work any way but through supernatural. Do you see it? Oh, how I just love it.

L-24 I want you to notice, from Cain's lineage Cain was religious. And he was just as religious as Abel was. He was just as sincere as Abel was. He was just as fundamental as Abel was. But here where the different was: he didn't have the revelation. That's been it all along. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 16, when He came down from the Mountain of Transfiguration, I believe it was, and He said, "Who does man say I the Son of man am?"
"One said, Thou art the prophet, and one said, You're so and so."
He said, "But Who do you say I am?"
Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

L-25 Now, the Catholic church says that He built His church upon Peter right there. The Protestant church said Christ built it upon Himself right there. I believe if you'll look in the Scripture, they're both wrong. He never built it upon Himself, neither did He build it upon Peter. Watch what He said, "Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. You never got it through some seminary, where they both come through. You... Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed it to you. And upon this rock I'll build My church, and the gates of hell can't tear it down," spiritual revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There you are. That's always been His church. That's what Abel had. That's what the apostles had. That's what you've got. That's the church in itself, is God's spiritual revelation of His Son that's made manifest to you in the power and the demonstration of the Holy Spirit. "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel. These signs shall follow them that believe," a manifestation of the Presence of the resurrected Lord Jesus. And people who are spiritual conceptions, receive it and believe it. There you are. "Upon this rock I'll build My church." And we're living in that day.
