<TITLE>04. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 I want to ask you something now. Now, God is the only Healer. I want... Listen to this. We are--we've got the best doctors we ever had. They've got the best medicine the doctors ever practiced with. We got the best hospitals the world ever knowed of, the greatest clinics, the smartest doctors, and the more sickness than the world ever knew. Why? We got more sin and unbelief than the world ever knew. The people are getting away from God. They're getting... They go to church. The worst devil there is... (worst demon)... is a religious demon. That's what killed Jesus. It was the religious party that want to say He was a devil, that killed Him. That is right. So we want to watch that.
Going to church and being religious has nothing to do with being born again of the Holy Spirit and become a Christian. Uh-huh. That's a different thing.
Over in I John and the 1st chapter, and I believe it's the 7th verse, we read these Scriptures. All right, now you can read it, if you wish to, the 7th verse.
[The interpreter reads the Scripture in German--Ed.].

L-11 The Lord bless His Word. Now, there's many people can open the Book like that, but it takes God to re--open it and reveal it. You'll never understand it by education. You'll never find it in a seminary. You'll never find it through science. You'll never find it in knowledge.
In the Garden of Eden there was a tree of knowledge and a Tree of Life. As long as man eat from the Tree of Life, he had everlasting life. But the first bite he took off the tree of knowledge, he lost his soul. And every time that man takes a bite off of the tree of knowledge, he destroys himself. God destroys nothing. Man destroys himself by knowledge. God is not known by knowledge; He's known by faith. You must believe Him, not explain Him, for you can't. With childlike faith... (childlike faith)... you believe Him.

L-12 Now, God knowing by faith... When man bit his first bite, He destroyed his fellowship with God. And that's what we're going to speak on this afternoon: "Fellowship." The next bite he took, he invented gun powder: kills his brother. The next thing he--by knowledge he--he gets, an automobile: kills more people than all the wars. He just keeps biting off the tree of knowledge and leaving the Tree of Life alone. He's bit hisself an atomic bomb now. I wonder what he's going to do with that? Better come on back to God, to the Tree of Life, for this time space of life is short. But you've got to spend eternity somewhere.
There's no one in the world could appreciate the fellowship of God like one who's had an experience with Him. We all like fellowship. It's a--the creature of man, he--he was made for fellowship.
You don't know how I would like to take every man in here, go eat with you, set down and talk with you, talk about heaven, about Jesus. I would love to do that. Time won't permit it. But I'll make an appointment with you. When we step out of time into eternity, I want a thousand years with each one of you. And when I get through, I'll have no less time than what I did when I began. But now, it's--it's night. It's a day of man. Daylight comes, the day of the Lord. Now we must labor. I can't be the servant of man and the servant of God at the same time. I must serve God so I can win men to His Creator God, so that we can keep that appointment. Uh-huh, uh-huh.
