<TITLE>08. Par 75-80</TITLE>L-75 I remember myself, oh, my, when I heard that good news come to my heart, as a little old sinner boy laying in on the hospital bed, the doctor says, "You got three more minutes to live." I heard a sound from heaven, that told me jubilee year was on.
I accepted the Lord Jesus, turned loose all the shackles of sin, and said to the devil, "You can't do me any more harm, because I have give my life to Christ Jesus, and you can't whip me any more." Since then he's bluffed me lots of times, but he's not been able to touch me since, because he's just a bluff. I can hear his whip cracking and popping, and so forth, but it don't do no good. Because he can't get me, because I belong to the Lord now. That's right.

L-77 Now, we notice this fellow, after he was free to go, he must go back to his home, go back to his loved ones, go back to his wife and children. He was free. He didn't have to be a slave no more.
But here's the tragedy. If that man did not desire to go back, and he wanted to remain there, then this master walked up to him, said, "You desire to still be my slave?"
"Yes." Then they took him down to the temple, told it before the people, as a public testimony, put his ear up against the post, and put a awl, and marked him in the ear. Then he could never be free. He had to be a servant as long as he lived. He must continue to serve this slave driver as long as he lived, if he willfully rejected his calling and opportunity to be free.

L-79 Now, settle yourselves, just a moment. For the past forty years in the United States of America, has constantly been the roaring forth of the Holy Spirit, working among men and individuals, giving signs and wonders, and all kinds of miracles. People that's been brought up, from prostitutes, from illegitimate people, and so forth, and made gentlemen and Christians... There has been those who have been blind, has received their sight. Deaf ears has been opened. The great time of jubilee for the sick and the afflicted, those who have been bound by the devil... In every regard, whether there's been sick, whether there's been blind, whether there's been crippled, there has been thousands times thousands of miracles worked amongst the people. There's been a revival constantly going in churches for the past forty years of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And it's come to the time, as a nation, and whole, and as an individuals, and as church group, we have turned It down. We've walked away and rejected It.

L-80 Now, the bad part of it is, friends, if you grieve the Holy Spirit once too often, then you have crossed the separating line. You come to a place where there's no more repentance left for you, and you'll be sealed into the kingdom of darkness, where you'll never see the Lord Jesus. You'll never see the hope of Life, and you'll be marked out for good and forever. What a solemn warning. Oh, I hope the Holy Spirit sinks it into your heart.
You who are standing at the borderline, you who have thought, a lot of times, "I'd like to be a full-surrendered Christian, if I can just make up my mind when to do it."... Oh, my brother, sister, do you realize that this may be the last opportunity you'll ever have to become that? It may be the last night that you'll ever have the opportunity to become a Christian believer. It may be from tonight on, that you've turned down the Message of God for the last time. Then you'll be, in the sight of God, marked off in apostasy.
