<TITLE>05. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 You know I--I hope this doesn't sound sacrilegious, but it reminds me of too many people today that's got mule religion, a hybrid religion. "Our church, we know all about it." And you can tell them about the baptism of the Holy Ghost and give them the formula to God, and they just stand with their ears out, never make a move. A good hybrid brings forth... "If My sheep hear My voice," they know what's true because they like sheep food.
A hybrid seed like corn, you see it looks beautiful, because it's a hybrid. I seen on a sign the other day, "hybrid corn." Well, it's no good. You know what it's doing? Hybrid cattle makes a better cow. Hybrid chickens... They got chickens so hybrid now, till the chicken ain't got no legs or wings. It's all breast, but the poor thing can only live a year and it dies. It's practically dead when it's born.

L-20 So people's got to eat and that, and now on those cells it's hybrid. Science... "Reader's Digest" wrote an article on it recently that in twenty years from now if that keeps up, the human race will cease. Women and men are being perverted. Women are getting wider shoulders and narrower hips. Men are getting narrow shoulders and wider hips. The woman will not be able to have her child, eating a cell that's perverted.
Chickens, and these chickens that you eat is so--is so mushy and soft, the texture in them till people don't want them any more. Why, you're... They're killing themselves with their own ideas, trying to pervert. We were made to eat these cells of--of things just the way God put them.
And there's also a hybrid church. It's prettier today than it used to be, got better members. The Pentecostal church, they got finer buildings, finer pews, better scholared preachers and so forth, but they've hybrid it.

L-21 Let's go back to the real first light, the old Pentecostal blessing and the power of the Holy Ghost back in the church. They put it all on the preacher today. It ain't the preacher. The Holy Ghost is just as much to the laity as it is to the preacher. He ain't got all the religion. They got it out there, and I--I'm one today that believes that we ought to get the Spirit of God back in the church, where we can have the gifts of the Spirit operating with unction and power; but today we find men wherein the beginning in the church ages that I'm teaching on next week at my tabernacle at home, to write a little commentary as my own comments on it...

L-22 You notice it started a deeds of the Nicolaitanes. After while it become a doctrine. Well, what it is, they've taken all the Spirit away from the congregation and made bishops, overseers, popes. Put it all in the pulpit, and the pulpit got intellectual. There you got a hybrid church again (See?), under intellectuals. God send us back to the Holy Ghost amongst the people. Let the unction of the Spirit move among the people, giving forth messages, and power, and manifestations, if we have to stand on the street corner, or get in a chicken house, or a barn somewhere.
We don't want any of this hybrid religion, come out of the seminary. We want it to come like a rushing, mighty wind from on high that fills all the house, not just one man, all the house where they are seated together. Perversion, that's what man did in the days of our Lord Jesus. That's what he's trying to do today: take the things that's original and pervert them by his own ideas and he ruins himself.
