<TITLE>18. Par 164-176</TITLE>L-164 You've got to let everything fall aside, and take the Word only. Stay right with that Word. Don't leave. When God said so, that's just what it is. I don't care what education can prove.

L-165   In the days of Noah, they could prove there was no water up there in the skies. But God said there was coming some down, and it come. That's right.

L-166 They say today, "There is no fire up there, to fall." But watch it fall, one day. Uh-huh. "How we going to do this and do that?" Watch God do it. He will. He said it would do it.

L-167 And that Seed will take a hold somewhere. Glory to God! The only thing He's looking for, today, is a bedding ground, somewhere that It can bed.

L-168 It'll start in somebody, and they'll pervert It, and spray It like he did Eve. It started in Eve, for her to bed forth and bring forth sons of God, not sons of Satan. But she was a bedding ground, and it fell in the wrong place. So will the Word fall in an unbeliever, or a doubter, or a skeptic. It'll make a church member out of them, but never a son or daughter of God. You tell them to let their hair grow; they'll laugh in your face. You tell them to do this or that, or the man to do it, they'll laugh in your face. It's not sons of God. It's the wrong bedding ground, yet they're holding the Seed. See the false anointed ones? They're anointed, yes, with the Holy Spirit, speak in tongues, and do signs and wonders; but it's of Satan.

L-169   Jesus said, "Many will come to Me in that day, and say, 'Lord, Lord, have not I cast out devils, and--and worked great and mighty works and wonders in Your Name?'" He said, "Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity."

L-170 What is iniquity? David said, "If I conceive iniquity in my heart, God will not hear me." See?

L-171 Iniquity is something that you know that you ought to do and you won't do it. You know better, but won't do it. It's iniquity, see. You know they should stay with the Word of God, but for the church's sake, or somebody else's sake, or something else, you'll stray from the Word of God and do what the organization says. "Well, I don't know. My church says we should do it this a-way, and I believe it this a-way."

L-172 See, and it's right before you that you shouldn't do it. That's iniquity. "Depart from Me, you that work iniquity."

L-173   Look at the great Saint Paul, in I Corinthians 13, he said, "Though I speak with tongue of men and Angels..." Now you that want, or somebody want, to lay onto that that's the evidence of the Holy Ghost? Paul said, "Though I speak with tongues like men and Angels, and have not charity" like you all have here among you, "I am nothing." See?

L-174 You can speak with tongues, yes, because It's the Word. A preacher can take this Word, and go forth and preach It, and say that Word, and that Word will grow. But the preacher could be a hypocrite, himself. It's the Word. See? But the true living creature of God takes all of the purpose, the Word. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out." And you add something else with That, you got a perverted plant.

L-175   If I start out here with a wheat, and put a--a cocklebur with it, and would interbreed them together, if it could be done so by the pollen, and put in there, I got a wheat cocklebur. See? It looks like a wheat, and yet it's a cocklebur. It ain't genuine life, it can't reproduce itself again. See? It'll come forth, but it can't reproduce itself.

L-176 A--a--a donkey can breed to a mare horse, and she'll bring forth a mule, but that mule can't breed back to a mule. It's a hybrid.
