<TITLE>02. Par 6-10</TITLE>L-6 All right, in the--in the 65th Psalm, the 4th verse, let's read this now for a little background for our thought. And now, it reads like this:
Blessed is the man whom the Lord choosest, and causes to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, even of thy holy temple.
Now, may the Lord add His blessings to this reading of this Word. And now, the psalmist here said, "Blessed is the man who God has chosen to approach Him, that he may dwell in His courts," that God has chosen to approach Him. Oh, how we could... I believe the Holy Spirit could really dig some things out of there, if we would--had the time to do it.

L-7 Now, notice. "Blessed is the man whom Thou has chosen to approach Thee, that he (the chosen one to approach) may dwell in Thy courts, and we will be satisfied in Thy temple."
Notice, the approach to God. God has a way of approach. You know, if you're going to visit a king, there's a way you approach a king. There's a way to approach... Well, make it more simpler than that. The boy that wants to approach the young lady to get acquainted with her, there's--there's a certain approach. You just can't come up there and say, "Hey, there. Like to meet you and shake your hand." And she isn't very much of a lady, she'll let you know where to get on and off at. All right. There's a certain way you want to approach it. You want to come up with--with respects to the lady and so forth.

L-8 And there's a way to approach all things. And there's a way to approach God. And if we don't know the approach to God, we'll never be able to get an audience with God. See? You have to know...
In a court, if... You just don't walk up, and the judge is on the stand, and say, "Hey judge. I want to talk to you a little bit." Somebody'd throw you out of the court room, lock you up (See?), for disorderly conduct. See? There's a way you have to approach the judge.
And we must find the--a way of approach to the great, Divine Judge, God Himself.
When one time man, through angelic Beings, perhaps, when he came before the presence of the--His majesty, the great King of heaven, perhaps, approached in some other way. But since sin separated the relationship... Now, the relationship...

L-9 Now, when a man has become a son, if he's going to approach his father, he just walks up to the father, and says, "Father, I--I come to visit you or to see you about something." That's his approach. But now, to the stranger, there's another approach. You see?
And there's a approach to God for many different things. Now, if I was going to--my father was living, and I wanted to approach him on a financial matter, it would be a little different from another kind of approach. I want to tell him how much I thought of him and so forth. It's the approach you have to use to meet God.

L-10 Now, when man sinned back in the beginning in the garden of Eden, he separated himself and severed himself from all approach to God, his very lifeline. He was separated from his Maker with no way at all of ever seeing Him again. Because his sin, his unbelief in trusting God had separated him.
That's the only sin there is, is your sin of unbelief. Unbelief is your sin. And the only reason today that we are not where we should be, it's because of our unbelief. That's--that's it. It's because the--the miracles and things isn't in the church as they should be, is because of unbelief separating us.
