<TITLE>14. Par 48-50</TITLE>L-48 Like the prophet. When the--the king come to him to ask him of victory, get a victory over Syria. He put his hand on his arms and said, "Strike the floor." And he only struck twice. The prophet said, "Why didn't you strike many times? You come short. God would have give you many victories."
And I say this with reverence tonight church. The church has been striking short of what God revealed to them, striking short. They only struck couple times. We can be free from sin; that's good. And we can have joy; that's good. But why don't we strike for Divine healing? Why don't we strike for the power of God? Why don't we strike to the restoration of the gifts? Why don't we strike that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever? While God's got His hand rested on ours. Let's win the victory over sin and everything that Jesus died to free us from. The church is striking short. They just make a little strike. But it don't do no good. Like we strike just one time, two times. Let's keep striking. Calvary spelled freedom. Calvary, don't strike short.
Everything the Bible says, say it with Him. How do you do it? The prophet, the seer had his hand on him. As long as Christ has got His hand on you in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, keep striking. God's with you.

L-49 Notice, how the Holy Spirit moves the same today. Paul in his going away said, "After I'm away--after I'm gone grievous wolves will enter in, not sparing the flock." But listen. Galatians 1:8: "Though we or an angel from heaven would preach any other gospel to you than that which has already been preached, let him be accursed."
Then Jude later said, "Beloved, I gave all diligence to write unto you, that you might earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints." You see what the faith is? If your church teaches that and exercises that, God bless you. If it doesn't, keep praying, until God comes and a vindicates Himself, there's a Cain in the midst of you.

L-50 Oh, how I'd like to go on right here, but I can't. How I'd like to speak of--of the false prophet looking down upon Israel. And he thought, "Surely that bunch of people all wondering around there in the wilderness like sheep from place to place," he thought, "surely, God would curse that people." But there was the Voice of the King in the midst of them. Balaam couldn't see it. There was a sign among them, a smitten rock and a brass serpent going before them making an atonement.
And so is it with the church of God tonight, that the same faith that was once delivered to the saints is being delivered today. The sun rose on the eastern country. They polish their way out of it in theology. It's been a day, that's neither day or night. But the prophet said, "In the evening time... Where's the sun set? In the west. Where's it rise? In the east. Who's the one received the Holy Spirit first back in the beginning? Who is the eastern people? The Jews, Greeks, and so forth. Who is it receives it in the last day when the sun's setting, the United States of America is the last of civilizations.
It'll be light in the evening time. The Holy Spirit's here with the same ministry that was delivered to the Lor--by the Lord Jesus Christ to His apostles. And she's comes through a darkest, but the clouds are clearing back. The same Holy Spirit is come and revealing the same thing. God bless you while we pray.
