<TITLE>26. Par 275-286</TITLE>L-275   What is it? It's a hybrid condition. Look here, you take a big fine grain of corn that's hybrid, and you take that hybrid corn, it's a pretty corn. But you plant it, what do you get? A little stalk comes up like this, and turns yellow and wilts down. That's the way every denomination is, when it's hybrid, with man's words mixed with God's Words. It'll come up to the signs and wonders, and what Jesus said about believing the Word, and it turns yellow, and say, "We can't accept It," and go back.

L-276   Just like all them other spies did that went over and looked at Canaan. They come over there and said, "Oh, we look like grasshoppers aside of them! We can't take them! The Amalekites will, all these, what they're going to do!" And they went back.

L-277 And Caleb and Joshua, being thoroughbreds, amen, by the Word of God, knowed God said, "I give you that land." They said, "We are more than able to take it!"

L-278 It depends on where you're born from. If you're born of the Word of God, God's Word has the preeminences in His Church. That's what He died for. That's His purpose, that He might be able to achieve, to have His preeminence working in His Church. Let the Word of God shine forth, first, no matter what anything else looks like. I don't care if the intellectuals says this, that, the other, it has nothing to do with It. God's Word said so, and we are more than able to take it!

L-279 "If I preached that in my church," a minister told me, said, "I'd be preaching to four posts in the church."

L-280 I said, "I'd preach to that." Yes, sir. God's Word said so. We can do it. God said do it. Amen!

L-281   Oh, yeah, they excuse themselves by this. See? That's why they're blind to the Message, of the end time, this last days when God is proving Himself. They try to class It as some kind of a spiritist, or some, oh, (what would I call it?) some mental, an illusion, or something on that order. See, they--they try to make It something that It isn't.

L-282 Just like they did when He was here, when Jesus was here, they called Him "Beelzebub; a fortuneteller," now they say it's kind of like a mental telepathy. See? When, they know that He could stand there and look upon the people and discern the very thoughts that's in their heart. The Bible said so.

L-283 Well, does not Hebrews the 4th chapter, says, "The Word of God is quicker and sharper than a two-edged sword, and can discern the very thoughts of the mind"? And He was that Word. And when that Word is preeminence in the man, the same thing takes place again, for it is the Word! Amen!... see how you can stumble over this from now on. There it's so perfectly plain. See? All right.

L-284   That's why they're blind, same as it was in the days Christ was on earth. Oh, my! They stagger the same way. They said, "He is Beelzebub. Beel-..." They seen He could do it, so they said, "He's just a... He was born an illegitimate child, and kind of a odd fellow. He's just got possessed with some devil. He's a--He's a Samaritan over there, and He's got a devil in Him. That's how He does that."

L-285   Jesus said, "I'll forgive you for that," see, calling the Word of God, the works of God, an evil spirit. He said, "I'll forgive you for that. But some day the Holy Ghost will come, and one word against It will never be forgiven, neither in this world or the world that is to come, or that great Day. It will not be forgiven." So, you see, that's written plain in the Scripture.

L-286 So when people come to that Day, no matter how intellectual, and how big a denomination they belong to, it's condemned. They have to be! They've blasphemed the Holy Ghost, calling It "holy-roller" and something another that had an untasty name, or something like that. And God's Church had to bear it all the time.
