<TITLE>16. Par 67-70</TITLE>L-67 I seen the other day where they took some sunflower seed, I believe it was--or maybe it was wheat--out of the garners of Egypt where Joseph had laid back there about twenty-eight hundred years ago, planted it, made a crop of wheat. No matter how old it was, it still had life in it, because it was a germitized seed. No matter how long them promises has been made, it's for you and to your children, and to them that's far off even as many as the Lord our God shall call. You've got to get that seed with water. Amen. And whatever the seed is will bring forth a crop that the seed is.

L-68 We've had a great revival, no doubt. But it's been a denominational revival. Why? Because we've sowed denominational seeds. Correct. When the Holy Spirit falls, just like the rain on the just and unjust...
The rain falls, make a cocklebur grow and make the wheat grow too, both of them just as happy as the other one. But their fruits you know them. What did we try to do? A million more in this organization outdoing that one, this denomination outdoing that one. We've had a Billy Graham. They've had a revival, and the Baptists: one of your boys up here, great man of God too. Yeah. Pentecostals had a revival, Oral Roberts. Oh, my, many of them, great revival. Boy, they picked up in numbers to who wouldn't have it. What's it turned out to be? Now, it's over.

L-69 Did you know Joel said there will be a former and a latter rain? The former rain (f-o-r-m-e-r) means "moureh," Hebrew word which means a sowing rain--sowing a crop. That's the reason... What did you reap? Oh, the organization's built up; but where's God at? You've sowed denominational seed. When the Holy Ghost fell it made a denominational revival.
What we need is get back to the Word. Get back to the real Word of God, and bring forth a Bride to Christ and the Word. True, back to the Word. Let the organization... That's all right. Nothing against it. But everybody's... "Just got to pull a few punches, you know," because if they don't, they get put out. God have mercy--pulling punches. Tell the truth, or shut up. Yes, sir. Just say it the way it's wrote; see if God don't confirm it. I challenge you to believe it. I know it's the truth. See?
But you got to stay right with the Word and believe It, not just slip over here this way and that way, and say, "I'll peck and try." You don't do that. No, no. You've got to come with a whole heart. "It's Your Word, Lord. I believe it." God will make it... It'll go to work right then. Yes, sir.

L-70 Yes, sir, He's always sent before His judgments somebody with the Scriptural Word, showing Scriptural signs before He sends it. And the unbeliever misses it a million miles. Why? He's dismayed with it, discouraged. Why? Because he don't believe it. Amen. But it always brings its harvest just the same. See, the unbeliever... "Oh," he says, "such nonsense. Such nonsense, oh, my. There's nothing to that. Why, you know the days of miracles is past. There's no such a thing as that. Oh, my, that's terrible just a bunch of trash. That's all there is to it." But they go right on just the same.
