<TITLE>09. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 Now, you can believe it mentally, and you'll still guess at it. But when you believe from your heart once, that settles it forever. If God revealed to you tonight, that you was going to be well, if there would be a thousand doctors visit tomorrow, pass by and every one of them pronounce you, that you'd die in twenty-four hours, you'd laugh in their face. That's right. Amen.
That's where Christ builds His church, "Upon this rock I'll build My church."
Now, if you got saved, just on emotions, and you got saved because of some pathetic stories, you got saved because the neighbor wanted you to come, give your heart to Christ and go the the church, and you got saved because somebody wanted you to, then I doubt that. But if you come, sensibly, soberly, upon the basis of the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and down in your heart you accept Him as your personal Saviour, all the devils out of hell couldn't shake you away from it. That's right. That's right.

L-31 Notice, when Abel offered his sacrifice, it was speaking of course, of spiritual revelation that Abel had, of the coming of the Lord Jesus. And that little lamb there, I want you to notice... As he laid the little fellow up there, chopping it's little throat, and it kicking and bleeding, and it's little white wool bathed all over with blood, bleating... Did you ever hear a lamb die? Very pitiful. What was it? He could not understand what it was saying, certainly. It was speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ: wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, quivering, bleeding, dying, speaking in tongues on the cross when he went, hanging on the Rock of Ages, blood bathed all over Him...
Billy Sunday said there was a angel setting in every tree and saying, "Lord, pull Your hand loose and point to us; we'll change this situation."
The Jews said, "He saved others, Himself He cannot save." "Come down and do a miracle before us and we'll believe you." That same old devil lives today. "Come down, and we'll believe you." They didn't realized they was paying Him the greatest compliment that ever was paid Him. If He saved Hisself, He couldn't save others. So He gave Hisself in order to save others. The greatest compliment He ever had and He... they didn't know it. God will make the enemy praise Him. Amen. How beautiful to see the spiritual revelation of the Word of God.

L-32 Job, we spoke of him a few nights ago, the oldest book in the Bible, the patriarch Job, noted for his patience, endurance. "He that endureth to the end..." Job, noted for his endurance, holding out in the face of opposition, his neighbors coming round saying, "See, you got some sickness. Now, you've been sinning secretly."
Job said, "No, I haven't. I've confessed all my sins and made a burnt offering, and I haven't sinned secretly."
"Oh, yes you have. You've sinned secretly."
But God was dealing with a saint there: "Every son that cometh to God must first be child-raised, spanked a little, let things go contrary. You ever have it? All that cannot bear those things are illegitimate children and not the children of God. If a man ever saw Him in his heart, knowing Jesus raised for his justification, accepted the same on the basis of the Blood and the Word, put trials upon him. "Nothing can separate us from the love of God that's in Christ Jesus." Amen. "Those who He has called, He has justified. Those that He has justified, He has already glorified." And in the presence of God, when you accept Christ as your Saviour, there's a chair set for you at the wedding supper. Amen. I like that. Stick your feet under the table at the wedding supper and eat the supper with the Lamb, Amen.
