<TITLE>18. Par 130-136</TITLE>L-130 And I said, "Well, one time there was a man went forth." You know, on his own grounds there. See? "A man went forth and disk up a great big field. And he took all the roots out of it and everything, and then he planted corn. Each morning he went to the door and looked out to see if he had any corn. The first thing you know one morning, two little blades was sticking up." (Anyone ever raised corn... Where's George Wright and them, Roy Slaughter and them? You know, them two little blades that stick up.) "'Oh,' he said, 'Praise God for my field of corn.'" I said, "Did he have a field of corn?"
He said, "Well, in one way."
I said, "Potentially, yes." I said, "That was you Lutherans in the first reformation, putting forth that little blade." See? "Well," I said, "by and by that corn growed." I didn't tell him about the off fall (You see?); I just let him know the corn growed.

L-132 So I said, "The corn grew, and after while it got a tassel on it. And that tassel looked back down to the leaf and said, 'Ah-ha-ha, you ain't got nothing, you old formal Lutherans.' See? Said, 'I am the... I--I'm the breeder, the great missionary time.' The wind blowed, and the little tassels fell off like that and dropped down; that's Wesley, sanctification." See? That was the greatest missionary age we've ever had, has been the Wesleyan church, during the time of Wesley, even exceeds this age. The Wesleyan church age, it was a missionary age, and it scattered. What it did do? It scattered it.
See, even nature bears record of these three right there. Nature itself, God in the beginning made it so it would be that way. You don't even have to have the Bible; you can look at nature and see where you're at. See?

L-134 And then--and there after while it dropped over there, and what come out? Up come a ear of corn; it had grains on it; that was the Pentecostal group. Now, the Pentecostal group was the same kind of a group down here. From here he had two blades of corn, Luther; here he had the tassel, Wesley; and down here he had the grain of corn (What?) just exactly like it was back here, same thing.
Well, now, what was this here? He said, "Well, now," the Pentecostal said, "I don't have no use for you Methodists or you Lutherans." But after all, the very life that was in the two little blades helped make the tassel. And the life that was in the tassel made the corn. So, you see, it's all God's program. They had the Holy Spirit potentially; so did Wesley under sanctification; but today it brought back speaking in tongues and restoration of the beginning back here, the same Holy Spirit (You See?), the true one. Amen. Yes.

L-136 All right, "Hold fast that which you've heard, lest it die."
Now, the 4th verse, I believe it is:
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
"Now, don't make a denomination out of it. We don't want to do that." No, I've... I--I read the wrong verse, didn't I, or did I not? Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah. All right. Yeah, "In Sardis, has not defiled their garments." There was a few of them that still would not bow down to that thing, and kept themselves pure and clean, the old trace from way back to Pentecost, the Spirit-filled. A lot of them then in Luther's age begin to denominate. What'd they do? Started right back like the Bible said, acting like their mammy, come right back down, started their denominations. But a few of them stood right out, that they wouldn't do it; they stayed right out for God. Said they... He said, "Well, all right, you got a few names, and they are worthy to walk before Me, dressed in white."
Don't make a denomination. Don't take up the Nicolaitane doctrine now. Don't start your denomination off again, but just stay free in God. Let the Holy Spirit lead you as you go on. There's a few of them still left.
