<TITLE>18. Par 49-53</TITLE>L-49 Every famous picture must first go through the hall of critics before it can be hung in a hall of fame. And I tell you that's what the Church has done today. It's went through the critics. But one of these mornings God's going to hang her in a hall of fame out here, just sure as the world.
That great redeemed Church sprinkled by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, symbol of the dove that was turned loose with blood upon her wings that cried, "Holy, holy, holy unto the Lord."... When she passed across, that symbol of leprosy which was a type of sin... That same Church is going to be caught up one of these mornings, hung in the hall of fame, as she cuts through the air yonder. Hallelujah. God keeps His Word.

L-50 Goliath come out and said, "Say, anybody want to fight?"
David said, "Well, who's that guy?"
Said, "Oh, he's a Philistine. He's a warrior. He's a great guy. He's got us all bluffed around here."
He said, "Do you mean to tell me that you let that uncircumcised Philistine stand there and defy the armies of the living God? Why," he said, "shame on you." He said, "I will go fight him."
"Oh," he said, "boy, run on back and take care of your sheep."
"Why, my," he said, "I will never stand and let that be like that."

L-51 So they took him up to Saul, and Saul was seven foot, you know. So, great big fellow standing there, he said, "Now, look son, I admire your courage," but said, "that man is a--is a warrior from his birth and you're nothing but a youth. Why, you couldn't fight that man."
And I like little old David, he knowed what he was talking about. He had a witness. He had a testimony. He said, "Your servant was herding sheep out yonder one day and a lion come in and grabbed a kid and run off with it. And I went and caught him by the beard, took it out of his mouth." He said, "A--a bear caught a lamb, started away with it, and I slew him." He said, "And the same God that delivered me out of the paws of the bear and out of the mouth of the lion will deliver me from that uncircumcised Philistine." Hallelujah. He knowed what he was talking about. Hallelujah.

L-52 Brother, the same Holy Ghost that give me Eternal Life will heal me when I'm sick. It'll take me in a rapture. Hallelujah. God's just as much in His Word on Divine healing as He is on salvation. If the world's mocking at Divine healing, what do you care? They mock at the Holy Ghost whom you know you got it. God's in His Word. Sure, He's in His Word.

L-53 He said, "That uncircumcised Philistine." Now, I want you to watch how a man gets away from God like Saul did.
He said, "Come here, then. I'm going to give you five years and cemetery or seminary." Both the same place, bunch of dead people. I always feel sorry for a seminary... Well, maybe I'd better not say that. I always think about a seminary preacher like a incubator chicken. He just chirp, chirp, chirp and ain't got no mammy to go to. That's right. Sure.
I don't care how much theology you learn, unless you're born again you're lost. Hallelujah. That's right. It's the truth. You've got to know God by an experience of being borned again.
That uncircumcised Philistine, he might've been religious. But brother, there's a whole lot difference beside being religious and being even fundamental and being borned again.
