<TITLE>02. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 The educated heathen is harder to touch than the uneducated. Heathen is unbeliever. And when they come educated, makes them horrible to touch. They know so much that you can't tell them nothing.
Where the man is uneducated, he looks at you; he accepts the Gospel, believes God and gets the results. But we try to figure it all out. You'll never figure God out. He can't be figured out. He's a past finding out. God is not known by education. God's known by faith, by faith: and the only way you can know Him.
If one tenth of the things that's happened in this meeting would've happened in South Africa, or some of those tribes along there, there'd been tens of thousands of people saved, converted. But yet, we Americans walk away, and as the Pharisees of old, say it was the devil: Beelzebub. Well, God can't pour His wrath on a just people. It has to be that condition before judgment can come. We're living in that day. God have mercy on us.
No wonder Billy Graham said, "Why can't we have a revival?" Well, you can't have a revival by just on theology. You've got to have an old fashion God-sent sin killing revival, that gets people up to the altar and they die out to self and sin. Then we have a revival. But just stand and say, "I accept Christ as personal Saviour," and set down, that's mental.

L-5 The new birth is an experience. It's a gift of God. It's the seal of your faith. The Holy Spirit is a Seal. Ephesians 4:30 says, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption."
God made Abraham the promise, and Abraham believed God, and was justified by faith; and God give him the sign of circumcision as a seal. So He does today. We believe Him, and then if you say you believe and do not receive the Holy Spirit, then you do not believe; 'cause God promised to give you the Holy Spirit when you did believe. A now, in believing, you do not receive the Holy Spirit when you believe. Paul ask in Acts 19, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?" It's a gift of God. And when that, when the Spirit of God comes into a man, It quickens him, and then he becomes a new creature. He believes in the immortal God, and he believes that He does all things, and his heart's in tune with God. And how wonderful.

L-6 In the Scriptures I want to read tonight, I was reading here was today, which is... I've been studying quite a bit in the Scriptures, because I know, perhaps after tomorrow night, have to take the services over myself for all of it. Always will miss... I miss Brother Baxter. We've been together so long, Brother Baxter and I, till he just seems like he's just become a part of me. I miss him when I go to at the platform. I've had some services recently by myself, and I look around for him. He's been my--not only my co-worker, but my pal. And he has to leave me now to go see about Africa, and India, Germany, many other places: Palestine, Trans-Jordan, for the overseas trip that's coming up just as quick as we can get it arranged. It has to go through some governmental affairs before... They've already cut off all missionaries in India. You know that. So by Mr. Nehru, having a dinner with him, gives us a little prestige to get to go into India.
