E-30 I know it sounds rough, and sounds like
fanaticism, but so many people's so afraid of fanaticism you miss the real
thing. Did you always realize that scarecrows are put up around the good apple
tree? There ain't a lot of scarecrows... What's a
scarecrow is for is to scare you away from the real thing. Move on around them.
Way on back there, there's a right genuine Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost filled
believers. Signs and wonders and vindications of a supernatural God, a King in
the camp, that's what made the difference between
That was the difference between Cain and Abel. Cain was a good man, so was
Abel. Cain was a man that believed in God, so was Abel. But Abel had spiritual
revelation that knowed it was blood not fruits. And
he offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, which God received.

E-17 Look
at when Cain, he was just as religious as and just as much with the Word as
Abel was. It was a revelation that made the difference. They both worshipped;
they both brought sacrifices. They both built a altar.
They both belonged to church. They both were sincere. They both worshipped. So
if God ought to respect sincerity and fundamentalism, why didn't He respect
Cain? But through revelation Abel, being just, by revelation, no Scriptures in
them days, God had revealed it to him that it wasn't fruit, apples and oranges
taken us out of the garden of Eden; it was blood, the
life.

How did Abel know what
to do in order to offer a proper sacrifice to God? By faith he received the
revelation of the blood.
Cain didn't get such a revelation (even though he had a commandment)
so he couldn't offer the right sacrifice. It was a revelation from God that made the difference and
gave Abel eternal life. Now you might take what the pastor says, or
what the seminary teaches, and though it might be taught to you with eloquence,
until God reveals to
you that Jesus is the Christ, and that it is the blood that cleanses you, and
that God is your Saviour, you will never have eternal
life. It is the Spiritual revelation that does it.
