<TITLE>35. Par 340-348</TITLE>L-340   Now watch, a corn of wheat falls into the ground. Now, Jesus was that corn of wheat that fell into the ground, which after was made perfect, It had Life in It. Moses didn't raise. Adam didn't raise. None of the rest of them raised. But this perfect One that reflected the Word in every way, every Word He lived by! How many can say "amen" by that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Every Word He lived by. What happened? They put him in the grave. But, three days, He broke her open and come out again. See?

L-341 Now here comes the church again, see, coming to that perfect One, for the Rapture again. Now what happened after the church fell in the ground at Nicaea, Rome, to the first organization? Can anybody say "amen," that that's right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] What did she do? She come out again in a temporary resurrection, He tried through Luther the same as He did through Noah. But what did he do? He failed the Word, he organized. What did it do?

L-342   It's like a grain of wheat coming up. When the grain comes up, what's the first thing comes up? Two little sprouts. Now listen real close. What comes up, natural now? We're going to follow the natural with the spiritual, natural bread with the spiritual bread. What happens? "How could this Man be Bread?" Watch.

L-343 When the church came up, she was one little leaf. Now that don't look like the grain that went in the ground, at all, but it's a carrier of the life. See? Now what happens? Now the man says, "Oh, I got a good field of wheat." Not yet. Potentially he has. What happened? The next come up was Zwingli, that was another move that come up after Luther. Still that wasn't it. It's a blade. Then the stalk put forth many blades, such as Calvin, and so forth, come up. Finally the Anglican church raised up, all blades. See, all of them just exactly alike, the same thing.

L-344   Then what happened? The wheat changes, and the corn changes, and everything changes. What come was a tassel. You might call it tassel. Well, when it did, look what hangs on it, little pollens. Now that looks just a little bit more like the original grain that went in, than the blade did. Is that right? Well, Wesley's message was closer to the Bible than Luther's. You know that. Is that right? What is all them little tassels now? There was the Wesleyan Methodist, Nazarenes, Pilgrim Holiness, United Brethren, all those under sanctification. And what come from that then? It, finally, what did it do? Organize, died!

L-345 What come out of that was the Pentecostals. You say, "Oh, brother!"

L-346 Now reverently, and I say this with godly love. And may the Great Father Who I've just told you, in the beginning, was present here, omnipresent. If I say this through prejudice, then He'll judge me. If I say it through Truth, He'll bless me. He'll let you see It, if you're ordained to Life.

L-347   When the first little grain of wheat comes out on the stalk of a wheat, it's absolutely looks like the grain. Is that right? But what is it? It isn't the grain. That's that Matthew 24:24, "so close that it would deceive the very elected if possible." Notice, it looks just like the grain. But you pull that off and sit down, and take a microscope glass and begin to pull it back. It's just the shuck on the corn, or the shuck on the wheat. It's only did to protect it, but it looks just exactly like the grain. Now how many knows that to be truth, raise your hands? Sure. But it's the shuck.

L-348 Now, Pentecostal brethren, don't get me wrong, but this is Truth. You can't defy nature. And nature declares God in everything, its Creator.
