Now watch
that Cain spirit come right down through the Scripture, right on to this very
last day. Fundamental? Just as fundamental as the
other one was.
That Cain Spirit is fundamental.
Genesis 4: 1 - 16 Twins
- fundamental
- religious
Hebrews 11: 4
1 John
Jude 11
Notice here we see another one who was
as fundamental as Cain.

Look at the prophet Balaam
and the prophet Moses. Both of them with seven altars, Jehovah's altars,
blood on each one; and not only that, but rams on each one. In numerology,
exactly the right number, seven, "perfect," seven rams. Just exactly alike, both altars. As fundamental as one was,
the other one was also. But who did God
vindicate? See? See? The one that was in His Word. Fundamental
doesn't mean too much; it's the revelation of God.
The name Balaam comes from two Hebrew words. The first
part is " Bal
" which means "a failure" and comes from a root word "Balah" which means to fail, or wear out, to decay or
consume away, to fail or be spent or to waste away." By implementation it
actually means a nothing. And the second
Hebrew word which makes up the name of Balaam is the word "Am" meaning
a people." So you cn see here that Balaam was an example of what the people
would be like who are the gullible that are spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2 and
who are destined to fail or wear down and go backwards and not forward.
2 Peter 2: 15
Jude 11
Revelation 2: 14

Now think! These man, why was they called and was put in this condition
(these Pharisees) by Jesus, said, "In vain you worship Me"?
Worship Him: genuine worship, true worship from their hearts. "You... In
vain you worship Me." Why? "Teaching for
doctrine their tradition of man, therefore you make the commandments of God of
no effect to the people."

If I brought you a Methodist message, it would
take no effect on you, this is Bride time. If Moses taught the message of Noah,
it would take no effect. If Jesus taught
Moses' message, it would take no effect. Because the predestinated seed are laying there that will only be watered by that type of water
that's give for that seed. See? It won't grow any other condition. It must
be the condition that grows it.
Notice how he says, It is the condition that grows it.
I have tried to get you to see this point for years. I gave preached on the
atmosphere you live in and how you set an atmosphere in your home and even you
carry an atmosphere with you. Your
attitude creates an atmosphere. And we see here that he is saying that this is
so important to our growth in Christ.
Matthew 13: 24 - 30
1 Corinthians 13: 9 - 12 He doesn't want us to remain as ignorant children. We
are promised a time when we shall grow up.
1 John 3: 2 And we find that our mental and spiritual growth comes
from what we see and hear. Just like the kids today. The Psychologist are sending warnings out lately telling society that we are
headed for a blood bath. They said these kids growing up today are the worst
this nation has ever seen. And kids are killing other kids like never before
and these kids are becoming adults with the same mindsets. Therefore a blood
bath is all that is left to expect. Proverbs 22: 6 "Train up a child in the way he shall go and when he is old he shall not
depart from it."
Deuteronomy 6: 6 - 9 Teach
them diligently to thy children. Your kids are only a product of what they have
been taught, and we are commanded to teach them what we want them to know.
John 8: 37 - 47 Here we see Jesus tell the Pharisees that they do what
they see done and He does what He sees
His Father do.
Galatians 4: 1 - 6 God wants us to be brought up right. He wants us to grow
up in the right sort of way and so He provides a way. Now there is one main
thing that is
necessary for a child or any living being for that matter, to
grow properly. And that is diet. It must have proper nourishment to live. The
body is dependant upon eating
good nutritious substance in order to be able to manufacture
healthy cells. Life can be described best as Living substance is need to
produce other living substance, and so living substance must live off of what
other living substance can provide whether willingly or unwillingly in order to
sustain life. And thus our nutrition and
chemistry needed to produce new living tissue and substance must come from other
life sources.
Malachi 4: 1 We are as calves
of the stall. Just eating and growing, growing, growing. Calves eat certain grains and these grains
are broken down to produce complex carbohydrates and proteins which not only
give the body energy but are carried through the bloodstream to other parts of
the body where cells receive the energy and begin to do what they were created
to do and that is to reproduce themselves.
Ephesians 4: 15 So we see God provide a way and here we see how God
brings about this growing up into Him in all things. The five fold is sent to
feed us Spiritual Food in due season. To take what has been brought and to
break it up into bite size pieces and then feed the flock.
John 21: 15 - 17 Feed, Feed,
Feed
Acts 20 : 28 Feed the
church
1 Peter 5: 2
Feed the flock
1 Corinthians 1: 4 - 10
1 Peter 2: 2
2 Peter 3: 18
2 Thessalonians 1: 3
Ephesians 2: 21

Now, you can take a chicken egg and put it in a
incubator, when it should be under a hen, but it'll hatch anyhow. Put it under
a pup it would hatch. It's the warmness, the condition that makes it hatch. So
it has to be under condition. You could take a good live egg and put it under a
dead hen, it won't hatch. See? See, it's the condition.

Well, that's the way it is in
this age that we're living in, you've got to find what is
God's way of doing it for this age. That's what Martin Luther found,
that's what John Wesley found, that's what the
Pentecostals found in their age. God's age and time
to do it.

Now, the Pentecostals. That brother, one... I believe his...
one of his eyes was out, a colored brother who really started the Pentecostal
message in

That's what denominations does. See? God is not
a author of denomination, because denomination is Babylon, and He's not the
author of confusion. We see her all... You don't have to be even intellectual
to see that. It's

GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP - SHP.LA - V-7 N-4 - 65-1128.1M
Now notice verse 2: "Worship
in the place that I have chosen." The sacrifice, of
course, where they worshiped, where they sacrificed. "The place that I chose; not what you
chose, what man chose. But what I have chosen, you worship in this place."
There shows there's then only one place, others is vain. It must be not of your
choice, but it must be His choice.

"Well, I don't have to go to the church." Or, "You are so
narrow-minded! Why, you even fuss at women about preaching, and... or women about bobbing their hair, and man about these other
things. Why, you're so narrow-minded!"

All right, you don't have to take God's Word about it,
you go on out where they do that at. See? And you'll find out it's in the
Scripture, so, "In vain do they worship Me."
See? Jesus spoke of the same thing. See?

That every little jot, everything, you must be faithful in. It's always
the little--the little vine, the little--the little foxes spoils
the vine. Sometimes you leave... It's
not the big things you do, it's the little things you
leave undone. Remember, a chain is only its strongest at its weakest link.
"Blessed are they that do all the commandments of God, that they might
have a right to enter in." Do all God said, if It
said for women to have long hair.
You say... A man told me not long ago, said, "I
don't preach a clothes-line religion."
I said, "Then you're not preaching the Gospel." Yeah.

God
laid it out there, He said what to do. And you either do it... That's your natural, reasonable thing.
What little thing... what... the little insignificant. Jesus said, "Blessed are they that would take all the little thing, do the little thing." And a
woman to let her hair grow, that's just a... why, it's just something she can
do, and she won't even do that. She won't even do that. "Oh, teach us the great things."

How
can you teach the great things, when you won't do the simple, common thing?
Because, you see, your motive and your objective is
wrong.

It's your love to God, "Lord, I don't
care what You want me to do, I'm willing to do
it." Then you're getting somewhere, but if you don't do it that way,
the way He said do it...
103 GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP -
SHP.LA - V-7 N-4 - 65-1128.1M
It's His choosing, "The place that I have chosen." That's
where you worship with your sacrifice."
