<TITLE>09. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Right in the middle of the heart is a little place in a human being that isn't in a animal, a little place in there which is, they think it's a soul of man. There's not a blood cell touches it or anything. And in there is the human soul. And Christ was speared through there, that the blood cell was pierced like that, tore loose the blood cell, and set the Holy Spirit at liberty for God to call through there and bring believers through the blood cell back into fellowship with Himself again (Oh, my.) through the washing of the water by the Word. What does it? "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." And we accept the Word and believe the Word, that He was wounded for our transgressions.

L-26 What was that separation to do? What did it separate them from? As soon as they received the separation, they were free. And what was Christ separated from? What did He separate us from? The Bible said, "He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquity: the chastisement of our peace upon Him," and with His stripes we were separated from our diseases, separated from our sins, separated from our weary, separated from our iniquity, and separated from our sins by the Word, which was Christ that was made flesh and dwelt among us. The Word become flesh, and the flesh was broke that the blood cell was broken loose, that the believers could be brought through the spray of the Blood from Calvary. Oh, my. What a...

L-27 My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' Blood with righteousness; when all around my soul gives way, then He's all my hope and stay. On Christ the solid rock I stand; all other grounds is sinking sand. All other grounds, every church, every denomination, ever whatever, all other ground is sinking sand. Whether it's mother, or father, loved ones, whether it's friends, whatever it is, all other grounds is sinking sand; on Christ alone I stand. It's an individual affair, not of groups of people. But it's to you as an individual, that you yourself, as a sole human being might, notice, might forsake your own thoughts.
As long as you have your own thoughts, your own ways, your ways are contrary to God's ways. And you cannot be right and think your own thoughts, for you've got to die to your own thoughts. Do you know that? Your thoughts, as long as you look at it, you look at it materially; you say, "Oh, well, that can't happen. It's just not reasonable. It's not sensible to even think such a thing."
As long as you do that, then you'll stay in your same condition. [Blank.spot.on.tape. Ed.] You get to a place where you cannot think your ways, but come into Christ and think His way of thinking. Take His words. Then things begin to shape different. For you are dead and your life is hid in God through Christ and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:1, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, that walk not after the flesh (what the flesh says), but walk after the Spirit. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-28 Isn't that marvelous--God separating us from the things of the world. Nothing we could do. We were dead in sin, trespasses, without hope, without God, in the world, alienated, cut off, going to a devil's hell, a sinner's grave. And in due season Christ died for us all, producing and giving to us the waters of separation. And God, by grace, called us through this waters, separated from our sins and brought us unto Himself, a peculiar people, a holy nation, a royal priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifice, the fruits of our lips, giving thanks to His Name. Shall we pray.
