<TITLE>12. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 Here not long ago, all the things that I was ever taught in astronomy in the--in the--the solar systems in the school, I had to take it every bit back. Science will raise up and they'll declare one thing to be perfectly, that's scientifically proved. A few years they scientifically prove that was wrong.
Why, a hundred and fifty years ago, one of the greatest science we had in France, said, "If a man ever went the terrific speed of thirty miles an hour, proved that gravitation would take him right off the earth." Brother, they don't pay any attention to that today. They're going sixteen hundred miles an hour and still trying to get faster. But the trouble of it is, with science, they're moving on, and we preachers are setting still. That's it. They move on up till they can split an atom. But we name Divine healing or something another, "We'll see what Moody said about it, what Dr. So-and-so said." They were all right in their age; we're moving on. Science can only climb so far and it falls back. We got the unsearchable promises of God, untapped resources, yonder. But the thing of it, they have to look back and see if their school thoughts taught it.

L-28 I don't care what the school said. The Bible said it, and that's God's science Book. It never can fail. Though heavens and earth passes, if God's Word said so, it's the truth. Amen. That's true.
Notice. How here sometime ago, they told me... I was preaching. There was a man come up and said, "Hey, preacher, I want to tell you something. You keep saying man thinks in his heart."
I said, "The Bible said so."
Said, "Well, them men wrote the Bible, they were just ignorant. See?" Said, "They... There's no such... There's no mental faculties in your heart to think with." Said, "You think with your head, your--your--your brain. You're mind's what thinks." Said, "That's where you think from. There's no mental faculties in your heart."
I said, "I don't know where it's at, but God said it was in the heart, and I believe it. That's all I know."

L-29 And about six weeks ago, I was in Chicago, and a great line on the front page, where science has found that in the human heart, in the center of the human heart, is a little compartment where even a corpuscle or blood cell never touches. The animal life hasn't got it, but the human has got it. And science says, "It's the occupation of the soul." Hallelujah. Then God's right after all. He's always right. Yes, sir.
So that's what's the matter with people today. You come to the church, the water of separation (That's all right.), hear the Word (That's very good.); you get separated from your sin; but you go out with an intellectual faith. That's the reason you can't believe. That's the reason you go back out and sin the way you do, the reason you can't hold up from one revival to another. If you'd let that intellectual faith move down through your brains into your heart, then it becomes a reality with a new birth. Then it'll stay there, anchored forever. God sealed you in by the Holy Spirit, and it settles it forever.

L-30 Get away... Intellectual faith's all right; that's as far as the nominal Christian goes. He hears the Word. He believes It. He has a mental conception of It. That's fine. We believe that. But notice, when the man come to the waters of separation, which was Word, "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word." We believe that. God wants us to believe it. That's part of It. But that's as far as he ever gets. He never gets into the fellowship yonder. He just comes through the water of separation. And when he comes to that part, he finds a mental conception. "Yes, I believe it," thinks it in his mind, raises up his hand, accepts it, and twenty days from there, he's back in the same rut he was in the first place. Because it's never went any farther than his head. Right.
