<TITLE>04. Par 11-13</TITLE>L-11 The first time it happened, 'course I was just a small baby. I was just three minutes old, about, when It came in. But down through life, every time, even before I was converted... Gifts and callings are without repentance. You know that. That's where I think that many of the... And see, I'm new in the Pentecostal church. I come from the Baptist church. And then the Baptist people couldn't see that there was a Divine gift. The Pentecostal people believed it. So there's where God sent me. There's where I feel at home. I am one of you (See?), because I have received the Holy Ghost, and then God made the thing manifest to me; I started off. But from the--the part itself, has been since a baby. Gifts and callings are without repentance. You believe in that? If you believe the Scripture...
Jesus Christ was foreordained the Son of God. He was the woman's Seed that was to bruise the serpent's head from the garden of Eden. You believe that? Moses couldn't help he was Moses. He was borned a proper child. They seen he was and knowed he was. And God raised him right up under Pharaoh's nose, didn't he? Is that right? He couldn't help it. John the Baptist, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born, he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Is that right?

L-12 Jeremiah, the prophet, God said, "Before you was even formed in your mother's womb, I knew you, and sanctified you, and ordained you a prophet over the nations." Is that right? Before he ever come from his mother's womb... See, gifts and callings are without repentance. See? God gives them. You can't help 'cause you have blue eyes, all "who, taking thought can add one cubit to his statue." Therefore the thing has got out into the world today with a bunch of "ism," you see, and it absolutely, it's nothing but a work of Satan to try to take away from the real thing of God. And that's what you Pentecostal people and what all people, Baptists and so forth, has had down through the age, is somebody trying to impersonate something that they know nothing about. It be better to keep still. "Who, taking thought, can add one cubit to his statue." If God wants you to be a certain thing, He brings you to this earth to be that, and you'll be it. See?
If He called you to be a--do a thing, like a man said, "Well, I believe I can make more money if I was a preacher." You'll never make a preacher. God has to call you to be a preacher. How can a preacher preach 'less the Lord has sent him. Is that right? It's all in God. Everything moves right back into God. Is that right? Everything right back to Him, He sets the program. We just fall in line (You see?), and carry it out.

L-13 Now, a few years ago, it was firmly not believed by any people, that there was any other light besides the sunlight. Critics and scientific world once laughed and said, "Didn't God make an awful mistake when He wrote the Bible?" Said, "He said He made the--created the firmament before He made the sun." Said, "The very idea. There's no such a thing as any light outside of sunlight, that He made the firmament before He made the sun." And how the apostle said your whole body's full of light. Well, science looked down with the spirit of meekness and consideration, and dug into it, and proved that God was right. Now, there's plenty of light beside the sunlight.
For instance, the x-ray. That's not no--has no sun to do with it. But your whole body, each little cell, little atom is a light. You're made up full of light. They find out that the Bible's right, that you're made full of light, because scientists, not looking at it from a natural standpoint, you can't understand it. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. So but they prove that the Bible was right.
