<TITLE>24. Par 161-165</TITLE>L-161   They are anointed ones. Everybody say, "Glory to God! We got freedom down here. Hallelujah! We... Oh, hallelujah! We speak in tongues, and jump. We got freedom of the women; you people try to put them under all these kind of things." See? Go ahead. There ain't nothing you can do. Say, "Well, we speak in tongues. We shout. We dance in the Spirit. We preach the Word." Absolutely. Not a thing to say against it. So do these men back here in the Bible.
Jesus said, "It'd deceive the very Elected if it was possible, the very Elected."

L-162   Now notice the shuck. From the original Grain, Grain that went in the ground, It was not no organization. It was one Grain, in Itself. But when it come up, it was not a Grain; it was an organization, see, leaves, corn.
Then It went into another stage, which was a tassel. Still it wasn't like the beginning. It was an organization.
It went into the shuck, many leaves, Pentecost, almost shaped out now. Look at it. It's taking shape all the time, almost exactly like the same, looks exactly like a Grain of wheat when you see that little hull there.
But finally It's manifested, and no organization. There is no more carriers. Organization is just a carrier. No more carriers; the stalk must die, the shuck must die, the everything else must die, but the wheat lives on. That's the body of the resurrection, comes right down and picks them up. "They which are last will be first, and they which are first will be last." See, picks them right up in the resurrection. Are you following this? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right. Notice, the grain is...

L-163   The shuck looks exactly like the grain. And a man raising a wheat farm, or something another, would look and say, "Praise God, I got a crop of wheat," when he ain't got one speck of wheat. It looks just exactly like the wheat, but it's the shuck.

L-164   Now, friends, go back with me. Where is the first revival come, after (the death) the days when the grain of wheat had to fall in the ground, the Body, the Bride of Christ? Christ organized His Bride, is that right, His Church? He never organized It; He just set apostles, and prophets, and so forth, in the Church, to keep It clean. But at Nicaea, Rome, three hundred and six years later, they organized it and made an organization out of it. Is that right? And it died. Everything that didn't agree with that church was put to death. And it laid still, for hundreds of years, in the dirt.
But, after a while, up she come in Luther. The first little sprigs of corn come up. The second, it budded out from there. They went on, had Zwingli and so forth, and the other organizations and so forth. Then, after a while, come the Anglican along.
And then what happened? Here come Wesley along with a new revival, the tassel, that looks a little more like the Wheat. Then what happened to that? It organized, and dried up and died.
The Life went right into a shuck, and the shuck come forth almost perfectly like the Wheat. But, finally, its folly was made manifest in the last eight or ten years, especially in the last three years. Now what does it do? Pull away from the Wheat.

L-165   Now why hasn't there been an organization start up in these last twenty years of this great revival; it's anointed prophets, anointed teachers, so forth, but why ain't there? There is nothing beyond the Grain. See, It's back, without an organization. Oh, my, a blind man could see that. It cannot organize; It's so firmly against it. It's the grain of Wheat, Itself. The Son of man will be made manifest. The grain of Wheat will come back to Itself again, the Son of man in the last days.
"And there will come false, impersonations of It, in the last days, that'll almost deceive the Elected if possible." Look at their organizational shucks pulling away now.
