Testing the Spirit? My dear, when one becomes sensitive in this world the ear is bored. As we’re told in the 40th Psalm, he has bored ears for me. Our ears are deaf. We think we hear, we hear these outer sounds from here, but we can’t hear from within. A man sits down…even let this audible sound cease from the outer ear or with the outer ear, and if he is tuned, he’ll go beyond it into a spiritual ear and continue it, as one should practice. Then one day the ear opens and you hear voices coming from within, as though they speak from without, but they’re coming from within. But because the human Imagination contains everything, but everything, you will find these principalities and powers of darkness trying to deceive you. And so, you will hear something of great authority coming from within; and on the heels of it a voice will tune in, like, well, if you have a party telephone and the voices coming through at the same time. You don’t have a clear wire. And so, it will try to tell you that what you have heard is not so. To be perfectly frank, here a lady had a vision ten years ago, and in that vision she saw, if you were here, she is on the top of the highest mountain in the universe, not the world but the universe, the Mount of Transfiguration. Her mind is held and she cannot divert her sight, it’s held to the horizon. And here, the clouds are below and she can’t look down, but she sees all these clouds in her own way. But she’s held to the horizon by some force that will not let her look down, but she’s above it on the top of Transfiguration. Then comes a little light…a little light…another little light in vast distances. Then suddenly the light breaks through and it’s a white light, flooding the entire area. And what was an imperceptible forward motion of a cloud now becomes a swirling mass of motion in every direction. She points and she says of the light, “That’s Paul.” Then comes another, coming through the clouds and it’s multiple colors, living color. The colors aren’t just color, it’s not just moving, but it’s alive. The whole thing is living. She points and says, “That’s Neville.” Well, a friend of mine, who recently had the ear opened, and has been hearing some lovely things coming through, beautiful things, but there are interceptions and distortions with other voices. So the voice comes through saying to her, “That wasn’t Neville, that was I.” Again, this voice will claim everything for itself, and it will tell you. So you’re told in scripture, in the 11th of 2nd Corinthians, “He will claim he was the angel of light”…speaking of the devil. The devil is the doubter, trying to put doubt into her mind as to the authority of what she is hearing. Then you are told in the 8th chapter of John, “You are a liar and the father of lies. You do not know the Father. I know my Father, but you do not know your Father. You are a liar and the father of lies.” So I ask everyone to test the spirit, test him, whether it be from God or from the father of lies. How would I test him? Ask a simple question if it is that wise. If it’s claiming what it’s claiming, ask a simple thing, “I have no plans for Sunday, tell me, what will I do on Sunday? I have no plans as to tomorrow morning’s mail, what mail will come tomorrow morning, tell me from whom?” I would even give him a little easy test, “Don’t even tell me the contents, tell me from whom?” You’ll find a silent voice. Or you might find someone wild within you because you dared to test him. So, you’ll find it. It’s part…because I contain everything within me, I have to contain opposition within me and this is the opponent within. But I would have but one God, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God the Lord is one.” Not two…I can’t have that; I must only have one. I find it across the country. I go to San Francisco, go to New York, and you’ll find individuals that get burned up and it comes down to the point here, she’s not burned up with me, she only records what she heard. But here is someone taking my name apart, making it come out as the devil, or God’s devil, or this, that and the other. And they do it…but it doesn’t disturb me, because I have experienced the word of God. And what you’re told in scripture, they’ll call you everything. In the 10th chapter of John, “Why do you listen to him? He has a devil and he’s mad.” And so, you’ll find these things. I’m only asking you to test it. Test the spirit whether it be of God. I’m telling you what I know from experience. I’ve been sent to tell you. I emptied myself to come through to do what I’m doing. And in the not distant future I’ll take this thing off and I’m going back to the source out of which I came. I am not entering a world of dream. This is a world of dream, if you do not know it. So I’m not going into the world of dream re-clothed as I am here; I’m going straight to the source out of which I came. But to come here I had to completely empty myself of all that I have ever done and completely forget and assume the limitations of this body, which is a cross. There’s only a few years…sixty-odd years, what’s that? But, you become that magnet to draw just those at that moment in time that are coming into the state of waking. Just imagine a small audience like this tonight that I could point out at least, without any doubt, a half-dozen. Three definite and at least three more that have had the experience of the child in a foreshadowing. But three in actual and another three right here tonight in a foreshadowing. Look at the audience, it’s nothing. But as you climb the mount it gets smaller and smaller and smaller. But everyone will tell it. You’ll have it, you’ll all have it, and then you’ll tell it. And take all that you’ve heard…you don’t have to write a book or change it, just tell it, in any group where you are, that the word of God cannot return void but it must accomplish what he purposed. It must, and it must fulfill that for which it was sent, and the word of God is Christ in you. So you only come for one purpose: to fulfill scripture. I have no other purpose. To what extent has scripture been fulfilled in me? Then I leave my name on the sand and the tide comes in, where is it? They just celebrated in Russia, this is a big celebration, and it’s only a matter of ten years, a little over ten years, and there’s no more Stalingrad. One of the greatest battles of the Second World War was at Stalingrad. There is no more Stalingrad, it’s Volgograd. The tide came in a washed out the name altogether. There is no Stalingrad. And all the names of Stalin, they’re down. They’ve taken the name out of the books. He’s not even in the encyclopedias, as though he never was born. He is a non-being, he’s a [...]. So when I play the part of this, that or the other, I’m always “I,” you’re always “I.” You never cease to be the “I.” So in the end, that “I” and there’s only one, it’s I AM, the name of God. Goodnight.710 ¶47
