<TITLE>15. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 As I said the other night, in the garden of Eden the devil chose a part of a man, and God chose a part. God chose his heart. The devil chose his intellects. And now today, the church today, depends everything upon the intellect, and never thinking of the heart. See? And the only thing they can see..." Well, I just can't see it that way." You don't see with your eyes anyhow. You look with your eyes: you see with your heart. You look at anything, "I just don't see it." You... You're looking at it, but you don't see it, it means you don't understand it. Your understanding comes from your heart.
Now, here he is now. He doesn't... he doesn't understand it with his mind. How is he going to do it? His intellects would tell him that. That's his reasoning. But the Bible said, "We cast down reasoning." Cast them away from us. Say, "How am I going to get well when the doctor says, 'Now, I've done this... '?" That don't have one thing to do with it.

L-50 You get about one out of every five hundred that really believes that: sets right straight there and there's nothing in the world will ever change them. "Well, what do we have to do?" Cull through everything till we find that one. That's right. God searches through the earth to find one man. Oh God, when I think about that, it makes my heart burn. God is searching the earth to try to find one man that'll surrender to Him. He's always done it.
He found one man in the day of Noah, out of the tens of millions and millions. People want to... just like... There's too many people like Samson today. Samson gave God his strength, but he wouldn't give Him his heart. God could use his strength, but not his heart. Samson was somewhat a ladies' man, you know, and he just couldn't give Him his heart, he had to give that to Delilah, but he gave his strength to God. God used his strength, but He couldn't use his heart.

L-51 So, many today: God... You'll give your intellectuals to God: "I'll build You a big house," "I'll make You an organization.", "I'll do this," "I'll do that..." Don't you realize that's the same thing Cain did, it was rejected.
Cain built hisself an altar, and made a sacrifice, and said, "Here it is. I'll worship you. I believe you. There's my sacrifice. There's my altar, take it or leave it." That's the man today, the religious man. Esau the same way. And the church the same way. "I've done this. I've done this. I've done this." It ain't what you done, it's what He done. Give Him your heart and follow Him.

L-52 Trying to find a man that will follow Him. He had one man, Abraham. He was that perfect man. Whatever God said, that was all right.
So watch. Could you imagine. Now, Abraham couldn't tell Sarah, the wife: that pretty little Jewish boy about twelve years old, going to take him up and cut his throat. That would've been a horrible thing to tell mama. He couldn't tell her. So the next morning he got up and chopped some wood (He said, "He clave the wood," which means chopped it.), put it in a sack of some sort, some kind of a skin sack, laid it on the back of the mule, and called two servants, and said, "Isaac, you and I are going to worship. Let's take the mules along. Mommy, we'll be back in a few days." All right.
He goes on; up towards the mountains he goes. And remember, he went three day's journey, is that right? Three days. Now, a ordinary man, just any man, and him young, probably twenty years old, twenty-five... When I used to patrol, I walked thirty-two mile every day through the jungle. And we're used to riding all the time. All man done then for transportation was either riding a mule or walking. So I can walk... I could eventually say, in the mountains he walked at least twenty miles a day. Well, after he walked three days back, then he lifted up his eyes and saw the mountain that he saw in the vision, far off. And then got to it. Watch where he was now, from civilization. I love this. This is so beautiful. Don't miss it.
