<TITLE>11. Par 76-89</TITLE>L-76   Then did you notice after Adam listened to another voice besides God's Voice, his own wife. And the church is listening to the voice of her organization, injecting into them creeds instead of the Word, letting them live any way they want to. As long as they go to church and a member of a certain church, that's all matters. Closest connection that the believer has on earth, to them, is the church. But the believer, the real believer, the closest connection is the Holy Spirit, is God's Word.

L-77 So you find out that Adam realized his condition, and he heard the Voice of God calling again, and he was in fig leaves then. But it was a voice of condemnation, "Why have you done this?"

L-78   I wonder if America today, or the world in its religious uproar, as it is, and America swallowing, being swallowed up, it'll be a national religion pretty soon. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-79 Who's setting before me? I know it's tapes and it'll go all over the world. We have tape programs, that every Message takes the whole world in, all other countries.

L-80 Well, now if you'll look and see, you're just standing in fig leaves. When the true Voice of God comes out, they don't know what to do about it. It's confusing, they don't know what to do.

L-81 Quickly, Noah heard the Voice of God. It was preparing to save his life, and he followed the instructions and he stood.

L-82   If a man hears the Voice... Now listen, catch this real good. Don't fail. If a man hears the voice of something, and if It's proven to be the Voice of God, and on time, and then that proceeds forth from the man, heavens and earth will pass away but that Word can't pass away.

L-83 Noah heard the Voice, and condemned the world. And they laughed in his face because his--his Message didn't cope with their scientific achievements, but it rained and destroyed the whole world. See? His voice that went forth, the seed was laying there. Every age it's been the same way.

L-84 Samuel, alarmed when he heard the Voice of God, that he was... go ahead to condemn Eli, the man that had nurtured him. The man that had been a daddy to him and had raised him up and fed him.

L-85   Minister brothers, shall I? Ministers, many time, upon their denominational grounds and creed, their credentials in their pocket, of the very pappy, the very organization that's nurtured them and fed them and brought them up and positionally put them in church, and put them in a congregation, you have to nuck' down to what they teach. See? What a horrible thing it would be for a true servant of God to hear the Voice of God and have to come back to that same mother organization, say, "You're condemned because you don't receive this Word." What a thing!
It was hard for Samuel. But he was a prophet, he had to do it. Regardless of whether it hurt or not, he had to do it anyhow.

L-86   And Moses heard the Voice of God. He was full of theology. He knowed all the in's and out's, but it failed. He heard the Voice of God, Moses was never the same.

L-87 And no man is never the same. You might hear in your ears the--the Voice speaking, but when you hear in your heart, the Voice speaking, see, then you're hearing. You do not see with your eye. You look with your eye, you see with your heart. You see something, say, "I just don't see it," you mean you don't understand it. You do not hear with your ears, you hear with your heart. Many times your ears hears the true Voice of God, and It falls off of you like water off of a duck's back. But when you really hear, you hear with your heart.

L-88   And all the theology that Moses had, he hadn't heard the Voice of God. But one day God called this eighty-year-old sheepherder over to one side and spoke to him, and he caught It. He proved that He was God. First thing He done to Moses, was vindicate His Word, "I'm going down, I remember what I promised."

L-89 And this is what He promised for the last days. He'd raise up a people from the Gentiles, and all the promises.
