<TITLE>13. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 Now, in the Old Testament, we find in the books of the New Testament, also in Galatians, and so--how Paul, explaining it, He was placing a son. like in the Old Testament. Now, when a father had a great Kingdom...
You notice in--over here also in the Bible, it says in Matthew the 24th chapter, I believe it is, or no, it's Saint John, the 14th chapter. I'll take that one. Another English interpretation of it said, "In My Father's house is many mansions." Doesn't that sound kinda strange to us today? "In My Father's house is many mansions." Mansions, in a little house? Many mansions in a house? Now. You see, that's... Now, the--the... And translators that translated that for the king (See?), in that day a kingdom was called a house, and the father was a king over the house. "In My Father's Kingdom is many mansions" is the right way, the Hebrew way of interpreting.

L-48 Now, Moffatt made it worse than ever. "In My Father's apartment house is many apartments," like we're going up there to... That's shows what a carnal mind can do with the Word of God. That's right.
I stood here not long ago in Athens, Greece, and seen the picture painted of what they call Adam and Eve. That Eve was the most hideous looking thing I ever seen in my life, and Adam looked like some prehistoric giant. Why, it goes to show that what the carnal conception of what God's creation is. It takes the Spirit of God to reveal things, and God's Word is revealed only by His Spirit. That's right. "It's hid from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and revealed to babes such as will learn."

L-49 Here God was standing there. Now, He was doing exactly what He asked them to do. Now, in a father's great heritage where he had, he had many hired men working for him. Now, this is a little teaching here. I hope it don't hurt, but I just want to make a point, get faith started right, so when we get started we'll be on the right foot. Notice.
Now, when a baby son was born into this family on--of this father, he was born a son. But yet, he had no inheritance just as a son. Now, there's where I think that we Full Gospel people let down a little bit on our doctrine. See, we take a person, say, "Well, now he's filled with the Holy Ghost. He speaks with tongues. That's it." No, you just only began. You've just been borned into the family. That's all. That's the reason today that we--our churches is not progressing the way they should be.

L-50 I think, after this great revival that's swept the world in these last few years, I think the saints of God ought to be in the heavenlies everywhere, and the power of God going into hospitals, and everywhere else, and great signs and wonders, and miracles taking place. But He can't get the people to stand still long enough. If we sow denominational seeds, we reap a denominational harvest. That's exactly. That's what we've done.
If you notice that word there in the Hebrew, former and latter rain; former rain means a sowing rain. And then when the Spirit falls, it falls on the just and unjust. If we've sowed denominational seeds, we just reap the denominational harvest. That's what we've done. The Baptists took a million more in '44. And hard tell what they are now after the great evangelist Billy Graham, and many of them, has swept. Look at our Pentecostals, through Oral Roberts, and Tommy Osborn, and great men like that.
