<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 God's a God of variety. He has white flowers, blue flowers, pink flowers, red flowers. Is that right? He's a God of variety. Look what He made, look what He made in the first place. Then you can see what He is.
When we resurrect, we'll be redheaded, blackheaded, and blondes, and just exactly like we was here, but in a resurrection of perfection. Say, that ought to make all of us old folks start shouting, oughtn't it? It sure ought to, 'cause that's the truth. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Yes, sir. And it will not fail.

L-9 So then if you are anchored in Christ, and by one Spirit we're all baptized into one church... You think you're going to let me get by with that? Ha-ha-ha-ha. By one Spirit we're all, not joined in, but we're baptized into one body, body of believers (See?), all baptized, not joined in, baptized in. How we be baptized? By one water? No. One lake? No. By one Spirit we're all baptized into one body, and become members of that body. Oh, my. If that don't make me feel good to think of that. So, what can harm you?
And then in that body when we come in, we are sealed, not from one revival to another, but until the day of our redemption: Ephesians 4:30, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you're sealed until your redemption."
Now, if you're having just ups-and-downs, backsliding up-and-down and in-and-out, and this, that way, and you don't know where your standing, you haven't sealed yet. See? When a boxcar out here on the track that's passing by here, the first thing you know they start packing it and putting things in it. Well, then, it has to be inspected before it can be sealed. The inspector comes around; if everything's going to shake loose on the track, he will make you tear it out and put it over again. That's what we do from one revival to another (That's right.): clean her out, start over again, just come on back and start again.
But when once you've really got packed in, and God's Spirit has the right-of-way and you become a child of God, then the door is closed; a seal's put on that door, and that door cannot be opened until its destination. Is that right? The work's destined to be. So therefore, we are sealed by the Holy Ghost until the day of our redemption. Amen.

L-10 My, so what--what we got to worry about? Why are you walking along with a long face, like you eat oats, or the bottom of a churn. Why, my, smile. We're happy. We're Christians, and God has ordained us so and has given Christ for us. And no man could come to Him now...
You say, "Well, bless God; I tell you; I--I got to seeking God." No, you never. You never did seek God. Man never did seek God. There's no such a thing as man seeking God. Did you know that? God seeks man. That's right. No...?... You said, "Is that Scriptural?" Yes, sir.
Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first." Your whole nature is altogether against God. And it has to take the Holy Spirit to first put that desire in there for you to linger after God. Is that right?
And then when... "All that comes to Me, I'll give them Everlasting Life." There you are. "And then, I'll raise him up at the last day."
