<TITLE>11. Par 25-26</TITLE>L-25 How that the Word come to us as the waters of separation... Now remember, It was to be kept. Now listen close. It was to be kept in a clean place (You get it?), not in dirty, foul place: playing cards, having bunco games, playing a little lottery in the basement, having social parties, and dancing. The Word of God should be kept in a clean place, holy, consecrated real Church of the living God. Kept in a clean place, for it's the waters of separation.
I know that kind of burns a little bit, brethren. But it's good for you. Amen. Kept in a clean place, outside the courts, for it's to separate the sinner from his sin before he comes into fellowship.
Notice. Then when a man sinned, the first thing he done, was to come to the waters of separation. A believer in his journey, on his road, and he done something wrong, like we in our journey... And this heifer that was to be burned for waters of separation, had cedar, scarlet, and hyssop burnt with it. We pick that up in a few nights, the Lord willing, see what it is.
Cedar wood... Many people said Christ died on a dogwood cross. Wish we had time to go into it. Oh, and the hyssop, where it always sprinkle the blood, was a live root they pulled up, a sagebrush pulled up root and all and was put with it. All of it speaking of the offices of God: Cedar, scarlet, and hyssop; just like Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the offices of the Godhead. How that the same God lived in the Fatherhood, in the Sonship, and in the Holy Spirit dispensation, all the same Father, same God. And how that each one of those woods represented the same thing, the same God.
Notice. It was also represented Divine healing. When Moses, back in the commandments, when he give orders for healing of leprosy, how the doves was to be killed, and over this scarlet, hyssop, also and the cedar wood, a separation from their sickness, the same as separation from their sin. God has always had a preparation for healing in all ages, all time.
When Moses took the children of Israel, and they begin to chide or fuss with Moses. Said, "Korah is just as good a man as Moses is. And there's more holy besides him," and all this. And they begin to go on the way they did, murmuring against God and against His servant, there come serpents in and bit them, and Moses intercede for them; and God told him to make a serpent out of brass. It was for a compound reason: to forgive them of their chiding, and to heal them of their sicknesses of the snakebite.
Jesus come along later, and He said, "Just as Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up."

L-26 How can you, brother, teach the Gospel without including Divine healing? Can't be done. It's inseparable. He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed: same Christ, same day, same blood. Sickness is a penalty of sin. All sickness come from sin, may not directly from your sin, but inherited. Before we had any sickness we had no sin. When sickness came... When sin came, sickness is an attribute or a result of sin. And you cannot deal with sin in any manner, 'less you deal with sickness. And you can't deal with sickness, 'less you deal with sin. They both run side by side.
If a great animal had me here tonight, and his paws was in me, just a cutting me, but his mouth wasn't bothering me... But if he was--his paw was in me, there's not need of me trying to cut off his toe, or cut off his paw, or what he's sticking me with. Knock him in the head, kills the whole thing. That's right. And when you hit sin in the head, you kill sickness with it. It's all got to be killed at the same time. You can't separate them. Amen. I'm not "amening" myself, but "amen" means "so be it." All right. I believe it.
There might be many promises in the Bible that I haven't faith enough to perform. But that's still... It's the same anyhow. I believe it.
