<TITLE>24. Par 234-245</TITLE>L-234   Said, "I seen them, freak. Up in my heart..." He said, "I went out there and said... And the--the captain went on out to take a number of how many tanks had been destroyed, and things like that." Said, "The Holy Spirit said, 'Go over to that little rock.'" And he looked around. Said, "They throwed that mustard and chlorine gas and," said, "just burnt all the leaves off the trees. There wasn't a living thing left, and here it was Easter!" He said, "What an Easter! What an Easter, when not even grass on the ground, not nothing!" And said Something attracted him to a rock. He pulled the rock over, said, "There was a little Easter flower under it, had been kept under the rock, all through the poison gas." And said, "I thought, 'O God, keep me under the Rock of Ages, till all of this poison is passed, and let me bloom in that Land yonder.'"

L-235   We could stop right here, if you wish to, 'cause I--I got so much here, I'd never get to it, anyhow, see, of things. So maybe I can come back again and get it to you.

L-236 Oh, I just got through preaching the other day, "A Thinking Man's Filter," you all have read That, see, "produces a holy man's taste." Think, brethren. Whatever you do, think! Ephesians 5:26, in there said.

L-237 And we had talked, talked about the word of predestinated, you see, that stumbles so many of them. It's God's Word. He, He uses it, "for we are predestinated by the Word of God." And it, in that we... When you're predestinated, why, it has to happen, because it is that. God, God chose you because He knowed what you would do from the beginning.

L-238   And don't let the Devil spray you with education and poison, and stuff like that, "You have to be modern. You have to be this." You don't have to be nothing but sons and daughters of God. And if you're borned of the Word, you do. Notice that spray. If you take a seed, a good seed, and you spray it, it'll--it'll kill it. And when they spray this denominational stuff over the top of you, it'll ruin the influence of the original Word. If they tell you, "You have to do this. Why, the other girls do it. The other men do it." Don't you believe that. It'll ruin God's influence of His Word upon you. You know that.

L-239   Our text says, "Don't be conformed," sprayed, "but be transformed," the seed that's in you.

L-240 People of today act like they don't even believe there is a God. Did you know that? They act like that. Now, I don't want to call them fools, but they act like it. Cause, Psalms 14:1 says, "The fool hath said in his heart, "There is no God." You shouldn't call a person a fool. But they certainly act like they are, 'cause they don't... They act like there is no God. This Word is just ignored.

L-241   Look, here the other day, they called me over in the room to watch... Billy Paul, I believe, or some of them, had said there was a--a religious program on the television.

L-242 We don't have television. There won't be one in my home, never. But there was a... You want them, that's up to you. But God told me not to do it.

L-243 And when we moved in there, I rented from this sweet old sister up there, she had a television 'cause they had to have it for her to rent her house. And I let them look at a religious program, so they--they called and said there was a Gospel singing on.

L-244 And you talk about a bunch of Rickies, up there act like they did, call themselves Gospel singers! It was a discredit to Jesus Christ, to see the way they was carrying, shaking themselves, and--and these Rickified hair cuts and everything, you know. Just, it just--it just looked--it just looked like it was a mockery!

L-245   Cain was such a person, religious in deed, certainly. But he had the wrong seed in him, see, and therefore it brought forth the serpent's seed. Satan had hissed over this seed of Eden, and that's what brought forth a Cain. He put his poison upon it.
