<TITLE>10. Par 76-82</TITLE>L-76 If you've got genuine gold, you don't have to worry about whether it's good or not; it'll stand the trial anywhere. And the real Spirit of God will stand the trial because it's tried on the Word of God. "Upon this rock I'll build My Church."
I've seen people get into hysterics, good people. (Now, you can see why I don't want this--this tape sold.) I've seen good people, and Pentecostal people, pastors who didn't understand, the people get into hysterics, and fall into trances, and everything like that, and--and do things, and finally run them into the insane institution. It was opening up their heart: innocent people, and devils came in and taken place. There is a real devil.

L-78 I was reading here where one came to... I believe it was Irenaeus or Martin, one. (Some of the Bible students that's better versed in this than I...) Had a gold crown on his head, white robe on, shoes inlaid with gold, and said, "I'm the Christ; confess Me." That saint wouldn't do it. That real prophet of God stood there, waited. And they said two or three times to him, "I'm the Christ, confess Me."
He said, "Our Christ don't come like that."
That's right. You've got to know the Word. Stay on the Word. See, the great battle is at hand. Now, we've played church for years and years, but the hour's come now that when Jambres and Jannes will withstand Moses as the Bible said they would. And it's going to be spiritual battle: conflict. There'll be some just continue on. The denominational church will just move right on into domination, and go on the way it goes. But I mean the real true believer is coming to that battlefield. And you'd better be versed and know what you're doing, or you could take an evil spirit so easy and not know. If it's contrary to this Word, don't believe it. Stay with that Word.

L-80 Idolatry, idolatry's old. It's old here in the United States. And years ago the Pueblo Indians and--out in Arizona, they had an idol-worship. And that was, they--they had a rain god. And the rain god would take a--a mud turtle, and they made an image of a mud turtle. And they put specks all over him like he come up out of the mud. And they would throw themselves before this mud turtle, believing that there was a rain god came down into this mud turtle hull, and spoke to them through this mud turtle, because they believed that the--he lived in the mud and moisture, and he was a god over it. They had a... It's a mythology, just a--a make-belief that it is true.
Now, and they worshipped devils in doing so. Worshipping a mud turtle, thinking it was a rain god, they brought spirit upon them, sure, 'cause they opened their hearts to it. But it was the wrong spirit.

L-82 So many people today are opening their hearts to the wrong thing. You get a spirit all right, but many times it contradicts the Word, saying, "The days of miracles is past. There's no such a thing as this or that." Remember, that's a devil under the disguisement of Christianity. God help us when we get down into this in a--after a bit, that you see it (See?), that it's an evil spirit in the disguisement of Christianity. But it isn't the Spirit of Christ, because the Spirit of Christ comes to the Word every time. He can't deny His Own Word.
