<TITLE>03. Par 20-26</TITLE>L-20 If a man thought we had a--a call in his life, what would happen? They would send him to Bob Jones, or somewhere, or some of the great schools, and get him the highest type of education he could get. And that's the worse thing they could do. That's the worse thing that could be done. When a man says, "I'm a Ph. D., LL.D.," that just puts him way away from God, to me. See? God don't, is not all them things there. God is simple, humble, God. You know, you walk... They try to split an atom, and--and try to tell how you're to do it, and then they'll walk over a blade of grass that they know nothing about. That's right. You just get yourself away from God by those things. Not as I'm supporting ignorance, now, don't think that.

L-21   But I'm trying to tell you that God is not known by education. God is known by faith. Faith, you know God, and that alone, and only faith. You only have to have something to base faith upon, 'cause it's not bottomless; that is His Word. And Moses went to school, and they schooled him over and over again, because, no doubt, they thought that he would be a great military man. And which history tells us he was a great military man, was able to take the armies of Egypt and--and become the Pharaoh of Egypt, and set the people free, and send them back to their homeland or let them takeover Egypt. Now that's the really the way that they thought would happen. And so they trained him, and--and he could even teach the scholars some wisdom. He was really smart and educated. But that wasn't God's way of doing it. And when he found out it failed, he become bitter.

L-22   And that's what the churches do today. When they find out, their educational program, you can't education God, a man to God, you can't denominate him to God. God has got a way for him to come, and that's the only way God is going to recognize him, that's under the Blood. And you can't do it by saying, "We'll all be Methodist. We'll all be Baptist. We'll all be Assemblies. We'll all be church of God. We'll all be Oneness. We'll be this." That will not satisfy God, because, His program, that we've got to be born again and come under the Blood. And so our--our schemes are only man-made, and they've started out, a failure, and they'll always be a failure till we come back to God's way of doing it. That's the only way that God knows, is under the Blood. That's where He passes over.

L-23   Many of you was down the other night, or Sunday afternoon, I guess, down there when I preached on The Token. Hold the Token before you. How many was down there, let's see your hands? Well, I thought there was a group from here down there. And, the Token, that's the only thing that God recognizes, and the Token must be there or the covenant is even annulled. Just the Token! And the Token is the Holy Spirit.

L-24   Now we find that Moses, after doing this, he got bitter. So he just run, left Egypt and went out into the--the deserts, and there we find he married an Ethiopian girl, had a son named Gershom. And one day while he was a walking along the side of--of an old familiar path on the back side of the desert there, herding sheep, well, he was attracted by a scene that was unusual.

L-25 And God is so unusual, He does things in such an unusual way; so contrary to science, so contrary to education, so contrary to sometimes man's theology, just contrary to that. God does that just to show He is God. And, to do that, He has to take somebody that knows none of these things, so that He can work through that person.

L-26   When Jesus come, why didn't He take Caiaphas, the priests that was trained and ready for the job? He went down and got man that couldn't even sign their name, "ignorant and unlearned," the Bible said they were. Cause, God takes nothing to make something out of it. See?
