<TITLE>26. Par 259-269</TITLE>L-259 It, the--the veil, has been lifted off of the Word. See? That's right. It's revealed to babes. It's--it's lifted. They see It. And will be, as once said... That's right. Then it will be, as once said, "When you see," when this veil is took off of the Word, the traditions is taken off the Word, as Jesus once said, "when you see Me, you see the Father." See? God and His Word is one. Now you understand? When the Word is manifested, what is It? See?

L-260   Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, you think you have E-.... You've believed in God, believe also in Me. If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if I do do the works, I and My Father are one. When you see Me, you have seen the Father."

L-261 And when you see the Word made manifest, you see the Father, God, because the Word is the Father. The Word is God. And the Word, made manifest, is God Himself taking His Own Word and manifesting It among believers. Nothing can make It live but believers, just believers. It's not... It won't...

L-262   You can take wheat and plant it in a--in a--a different kind of a soil, it'll never grow. But, what, it's got to have certain fertilize in the ground to raise wheat. And if there is no--if there... if the fertilize in the ground isn't--isn't, the wheat isn't germitized to that fertilize, it'll never grow. So no matter where the Word falls, if It doesn't fall in the right kind of a heart...

L-263 Jesus said so. "Some fell by the wayside, on stony grounds, and the fowls of the air come and fed on it." And then He said, "Some fell in the thorns and thistles, which raised up and choked out right away," traditions, denominations, cares of the world choked It. But said, "Some went over into good ground and brought forth a hundredfold," said, "that's the Kingdom of God."
It's the same thing, see, some will not believe at all.

L-264 Some will believe for a little while, like the disciples. They followed Him, many of them, the seventy followed Him for years, to find out; about a year and a half, or two years; just to find out, till they could find something in Him, some... like some way He had some power to do these things, or like a rabbit foot, a magician of some sort, what He could do to produce these things, how He could know what was in the people's heart and what they were thinking. And they finally found out that He said that He "come down from Heaven," He "was the Word Himself." And when they did that, that was too much for them. They said, "No man can understand This." And they walked away from Him. That's those who fell among thorns.

L-265   It brings back to the same thing, in every congregation, you have make-believers, unbelievers, and believers. It's been in every congregation. You find them all the time. Some of them make out like they're believers, that's the worst of type. And then they have those who are actually unbelievers; he won't bother you, he'll just walk away and shake his head. But those who make-believe, say they're believers, that's the kind, that's the kind you have to watch, is those make-believers. And then there is some genuine believers. See them three there?

L-266 There was the unbelievers. As soon as He said, "Eat the Flesh of the Son of man," oh, man, that was it!

L-267 The others was make-believers. They stayed till, just like Judas did, right up to the end.

L-268 But then the real believers, they couldn't explain It, but they believed It, anyhow. They went on through.

L-269   The veil, tradition of unbelievers, taken away, you see God. When the veil of traditions has been removed, you can see that God is still God of His Word. He still keeps His Word. He is the--He is the God, Author of His Word.
That is hid behind skin veils, to others. Yes, that is right. To those who cannot go behind the veil, He is still behind skin veils.
