<TITLE>06. Par 19-21</TITLE>L-19 Notice, "Except a man be borned again, he can in no wise enter into the Kingdom." That's right. You must come. No matter how religious you are, what all you do, that has not one thing to do. That makes you a pretty good citizen, but not a citizen of that Kingdom there, maybe of this kingdom here. But the Kingdom of God is within you; you're borned in the Kingdom. Kingdom comes in... The Kingdom of God is the Holy Spirit; you belong to that Kingdom. That's the reason women don't bob their hair, don't wear shorts. That's the reason men don't smoke cigarettes and things like that. They're from above, their Spirit teaches them righteousness, holiness. They don't--they don't swear; they--they don't use bad language and things, why? They're born from above. They are different. They're from--citizens from above.

L-20 And now, notice. But the world, they say, "Well, I belong to church. I belong to the Assemblies. I belong to Foursquare. There it is, best I can do; take it or leave it." If you picked up a plate of soup and it had a spider in it, you wouldn't eat it; you'd sue the company that give it to you. That's right. That's right. You'd do it. You wouldn't eat it for nothing. But just let any kind of an old dogma be passed down your neck in your soul. After all, that body is going to die anyhow. That's right.
Here some time ago I was at a museum, and they had the--the analysis of a man that weighed fifty pounds--a hundred and fifty pound, rather. His body was worth eighty four cents in chemicals. It had just about enough whitewash to sprinkle a hens nest, and so much calcium, and everything. All weighed up it was worth eighty four cents. There was two boys standing there; one said to the other one, said, "John, we're not worth very much, are we?"
Said, "That's right; I don't believe we are." A hundred and fifty pounds are worth eighty four cents. Now, you're not very much to begin with, are you? But you sure take care of that eighty four cents. You'll put a five hundred dollar mink coat on it and turn your nose up. If it'd rain, it'd drown you. You sure take care of that eighty four cents. Yes, sir.

L-21 But you got a soul in there that's worth ten thousand worlds and let the devil cram anything down it and call it righteousness and religious, instead of taking God's right way about it. That's right. Your soul's worth ten thousand worlds. Your body's only worth eighty four cents. You drag it around and sure take care of it. Oh, you shave it up and fix it up right, but my, dress it up. But that soul, you sure won't dress that, just let anything drag through it that wants to. Give you a spider in that, you'd sue the--the restaurant that give it to you. But a church can tell you, "Shake hands with the pastor, say you believe in God, worship, and that's all you have to do."
If that's right, then Cain was right. But remember, God said to Cain, "Worship like your brother, and you'll do well." But he didn't want to do it. That's the way it is today; they don't want to worship God in Spirit and in truth. They just want to go to church and worship the way the church says worship. Worship what God said worship. Jesus said, "God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth." That's right, put them together, the Word and the Spirit together. And if the Spirit is in the Word, the Word will manifest Itself. That's exactly the reason you see discernment and healings and things like that; it's the Word made manifest.
