<TITLE>07. Par 22-24</TITLE>L-22 Oh, I tell you: this is a mar--most marvelous thing that I've ever seen in my life is the greatest hours of my life is, when I get up against a wall that I can't get over it, under it, or around it. That's right. And then I trust God and He opens the way, and I go through the thing. God takes you through it. That's... Then when you come out on the other side, it's like Samson when he killed the lion. When he got out on the other side... When he killed the lion, and he got the sweetest honey he ever eat out of that old carcass of that lion. And sometimes if you'll overcome something by the grace of God, it'll be one of the sweetest things that you ever tasted in your life (Isn't that right?), if you know spiritually what I'm speaking of.
Now, he taken it... They give it little by little. And this great big room that we live in after we're baptized... You know, I think the Kingdom of God... Many of you people don't look around. How many Christians here say, "Amen?" Won't you look around the Kingdom of God and see what you got?

L-23 Could you imagine somebody going, buying a house, and saying, "Well, is that the house?" Look into the kitchen, and say, "Well, I'll buy it." No, no. Could you imagine somebody done had giving you the house, you walked up to kitchen and say, "Well," or back to the garage or somewhere say, "Well, it's pretty good house. Uh-huh." Walk away. No, sir. If somebody gives me a home or a house, I'm going to go into the garage, into the attic, into the basement. I'm going to look every bit of it over and see what I--what I own. Now, wouldn't you?
Well, that's the way God wants us to do. When you're baptized by the Holy Ghost, that's a good thing. When you become a Christian, good thing, but the thing of it is, you haven't looked around to see yet to see all the blessings you got in there. There's Divine healing in there. There's joy in there. There's peace in there. There's everything in there. There's power. There's everything in the...

L-24 You know what? The Kingdom of God is like a great big variety store. You walk into a variety store down in the arcade somewhere. You walk in. Here's something over here. Look it over. It's yours. Look over here. Here's something else. I just love this big variety store, don't you? And how do you get into it? By one Spirit we're all baptized into God's big variety store and subject to all of God's blessings. Amen.
By one Spirit we're all baptized into a variety store. And this is the variety store right here. And every blessing and every promise in here that was given to mankind is for every person that's baptized into this variety store. Just walk right up and possess yours. It's yours. Something up there high I have to get... Sometimes I have to climb high to get it. It's a little out of my reach, but I get a ladder and get to it. I want to see what--what's it all about. Don't you?
Sometime, I remember the first time I heard people talk about speaking in tongues. I thought, "Well, what's that?" I didn't know what it was. I thought, "Well, Lord, that's in Your variety store. I'm going to climb up to it and get me a ladder and find out what it's all about. I kept praying to God. Here it come on me. I see something else, some blessing, I say, "Well, thank the Lord. That brother's eat from there. I'm in this variety store too, so I'll just scoot my ladder over and climb up and get some of it myself."
