<TITLE>16. Par 64-68</TITLE>L-64 There's a revival going on. What is it? A sowing. You don't hear very much of Billy Graham no more, do you? What about Oral? What about the rest of them? You know the great revival fire's not burning. What is it? It's the end time seed sign. The words has been sown. What is it? Denomination will reap denomination. That makes them confederate themselves together.
But the Word of God has been sowed also. And when the Spirit of God begins to fall, the Word of God will live in the people. And that false bride that's committed adultery out there, and brought herself into creeds, and sold out her birthrights will reap what? A confederation of church, that's to be bound and burned like the thorns and thistles. But where the Word of God's been sowed into the people's heart, it will reap a Bride for Christ as certain as I'm standing here: End time signs.

L-65 What's the matter, Church of God? What's the matter with us? What's the matter with you Baptists, you Presbyterians, Assemblies of God, Jesus Only, all the rest of you? What's the matter with us? Can't you see? The seed... Don't you... Be careful what kind of a seed you're taking in your womb of your heart. Don't you take creeds; take the Word.
They've been talking so much about latter rain. Not discarding you latter rain brethren, but that's not latter rain. If the latter rain would've been here, the power of God would've struck that thing, and she'd have swept the world. The latter rain's fixing to come. What's the matter? The church is manufacturing herself something just like Eve tried to do. She tried to have more light to manufacture something.
We've done the same thing, trying to make something in ourselves. Keep your hand off of it. Let God do it. Take His Word and believe It. Hold It in your heart. And when the rain begins to fall life will take hold, and the Word will manifest itself.

L-66 I guess you think I'm crazy, but I'm not. If I am, leave me alone; I'm happy this way. So I believe God's Word. What's the matter with the church? Her womb, her--her open mind, has received all kinds of creeds and dogmas, and not the Word of God. When Christ come He found the same thing that Adam found, same thing Jehovah found. And here's these signs, and the end time appearing, and the church hasn't got the answer. That's right. It's time.
The former rain's went forth. That's the reason Billy's not doing much. Remember, there was the...

L-67 Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." There was two Angels went down to the Sodomites. Remember, Lot once walked with Abraham. The church once walked in fellowship with Christ with the Word. But they sold out their birthrights for denomination. Now, she's selling the whole thing and organizing into one big confederation of church.
That's exactly what happened to Lot. He went down there. Two Angels (Oral Roberts, and a Billy Graham, as it would be in this day) went down there, and placed the Gospel to them. What happened? A disgrace even come out of it.

L-68 But Abraham... One stood back with him. There's One that he called God. And the sign that He performed there before them, what did it do? It proved what He was. Abraham was the elected, because he was... Abraham had the promise. And now look, this is Abraham's seed. The promise was not only made to Abraham, but his seed. Not his seed Isaac, it failed; it proved it did. But the seed, the faith that he had: no matter what the circumstances was, how against the nature it was, how much the doctor said it wasn't so... Abraham, after he had the promise given to him, when it was impossible...
