<TITLE>17. Par 83-86</TITLE>L-83 And you know good and well the--the teaching of your Lord, that the wicked people of the day, and every day, has always been the smart people. Don't you know it was Cain's people that become scientists and genius, while God's people were shepherds and so forth, plumb on down to the destruction? And it was them humble peasant farmers and so forth that was saved in the ark, and the genius was destroyed. Don't you know Jesus said, "The children of this day, this world, is--is--is wiser and smarter than the children of the Kingdom"? Why? They are lambs; they need a leader. And they try to choose their leader by intellects, the smart does; but the humble chooses their Leader, which is the Holy Ghost. That's exactly what the church has done. The denominational giants the church chose, while the real Body of Christ chose the Holy Spirit and His Word. Depends on what you're letting lead you. A lamb has to be led, and that's where we've got to.

L-84 Now, they have their messiah, their anointed educator, smart, brilliant. Oh, my. There has never been a President stand up as smart as that man. Why, he'll stand right up and put the... Well, I think today or tonight, or sometime next day or two, I heard it in the broadcast coming the other day, that, just ask him any question you want to. Sure, just a--an educated machine, that's what the America trusted in, now let's see where you're going to get with it. Uh-huh.
You rejected, America, you rejected the Message of Christ; you rejected the Holy Ghost which was confirmed before you, even right in your own capitol buildings, where the power of Christ showed Hisself, and knowed the thoughts of men, and could heal the sick, and could discover the secret places of the heart, and do exactly what God said would happen in the last days, and you turn It down: wasn't polished enough. It was born in a manger. It stunk to the nation. And remember, your politics and churchanity stinks before God too. God loves the sweet-smelling savour of humility. The church don't want that. A false humility... God wants real humility. That's what He loves. Now, they have their educated giant.

L-86 The church, it's wanting a messiah. What's it's wanting? It's wanting a genius, denominational system, anointed one to--to let them bring them into a spot... Let me take my time here, so that you'll be sure that it's gotten here and abroad. The church today wants a anointed genius who has everything so fixed up, that they can live in the world, women can cut their hair, paint their faces, men can marry four or five times and still be deacons, or they can do anything they want to do and still maintain their confession as being Christians. You're going to get it.
You don't want God's Messiah, the anointed Word, the Word made manifest, the Word bringing Itself forward. You don't want that. God sent It to you. But the church don't want That. They want their creed, and they want a genius that can fix creeds to where everything bows to it. You'll get it; uh-huh. It's on its road. You got a lot of children to it, but there's going to be a grand- papa raise up one of these days, a Pharaoh who doesn't know Joseph. That's what you wanted; that's what the church... You can see the very way they're doing, yes, sir, the very way.
