<TITLE>28. Par 300-308</TITLE>L-300 And if the Life--the Life of Jesus Christ ever puts out another body of believers, it'll bear the fruit that the first one did. They'll write a Book of Acts behind it, 'cause It'll be the same, same Life. See what I mean? You just can't get away from it. It's the Life of Christ in you, been injected in you, by the Holy Spirit Itself living Its Life through you.

L-301   "Blind leaders of the blind!" Notice, God holds this key, alone. No theologian can tell you; It's not known. It's hid from them. They know nothing about It.

L-302 So the schools, when you say, "I got a Ph., LL.D.," you only make... To me, and, I believe, and to God and to any real true believer, that means you're just that much farther away, you just backed off. God is not known by education. He is not known by how to explain It.

L-303 God is known by simplicity and of revelation of Jesus Christ to the most illiterate person. See? Not your theology. It's a revelation of Jesus Christ. "Upon this rock I'll build My Church." No other rocks accepted, no other things accepted, no other Roman rock, no other Protestant rock, no other school, no other nothing, but on exactly the revelation of Jesus Christ through the new Birth. He borns in there, and He injects His Own Life, and your life is gone. And the Life of Christ is projecting Itself through you, with the preeminences, to the people; that they see the very Life, and works, and signs, and wonders, that He did, is doing the same thing through you. Outside of that, the rest of it's not even called to, at all. Watch God's great revelation unfolding!

L-304   By lack of this revelation is why we have so many different divisions among us, and so much mockery. So much division among us, is because the people lack that revelation. See, they lack that revelation, the teachers.

L-305 Paul, after his great revelation of Christ, said, in First Corinthians, the 2nd chapter. Be sure to read that as you write it down. Watch! Oh! He said, "I never come to you with wisdom." Look at that man who did have the wisdom, but look at that man who had the scholarship, "I never come to you with them kind of a words." First Corinthians, the 2nd chapter of First Corinthians. Oh, I wish...

L-306 Well, let's just read it. How... Can you stand a minute and let's read just a verse or two? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] I'd just like to read it so you--you wouldn't be con-... It'd get even the people on the tape to turn back to it, anyhow, give them a chance.

L-307 First Corinthians, the 2nd chapter. Listen to this great apostle here, Paul, the intellectual servant of God. Let's look at here.
... I, Paul, when I come to you, came not with excellency of speech... of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. I never said I--I'm Doctor So-and-so. See?
For I am determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
... my speech and--and my beseeching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power... of the power.

L-308   There, see, there is the Gospel. See? Jesus said, "Go ye in all the world and preach the Gospel." Didn't say, "Go teach." He said, "Go preach." In other words, "Demonstrate the power, and these signs shall follow them." Just teaching doesn't do it. It takes the actual Spirit Itself demonstrating these signs. See? Listen to this.
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
