<TITLE>07. Par 21-23</TITLE>L-21 How do you accept Christ for healing? The very same way. You meet His pro--His conditions. Put His Word in your heart, walk out of the building, say, "I'm healed."
Say, "I don't see no difference." They say, "Well, you don't look any different than you did." No matter what they say, it's what you believe. Just as sure as He was wounded for your transgressions, with His stripes you were healed. The same atonement, same day. Amen. and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. You believe it? Uh-huh. Right. That's the way to receive it.
Now, God wrote it in His Word; that should be sufficient. If it was my word, or your word, and people wouldn't take it, I'd say, "Let them go." But not God. God's not willing that any should perish. Then He sends teachers, apostles, prophets, and different gifts into the church. What to do? To scatter the church? No, but to draw the church together for the perfecting of the body of Jesus Christ. He's coming soon, and if He--if He had a body in the beginning back there with all the signs and wonders in it, the body He comes for will have to be the same kind of body, or it would be a freak body.

L-22 Now, in the Old Testament, in making a covenant, here's how they made a covenant. That's a great thing. Now, in America, when we make a covenant, we promise one another something, and then we shake one another's hand. That seals the covenant.
And in Japan, when they make a covenant, they make it between each other, and then they get a little box of salt, and they throw salt on one another. That's a covenant.
In--in the Bible days, back in the days when God made His covenant with Abraham...?... showed what He was going to do in the end time...?... Here's what they did. They took an animal. Well, the first thing they did, they--they took a piece of paper, or they took a scr--a script or some sort, it's a skin. And they wrote out the covenant. And then the next thing they did was they kill an animal. They cut the animal in two. And then they stood between this dead animal. And they took a cup, pledged one with another: If they didn't keep this covenant, let their bodies be like the dead body of the animal. Then they tore the covenant apart; give one to one and one to another.

L-23 Now, when the day of the promise was fulfilled, he must bring the same piece that tore off of here. It must dovetail together to make it the same. When God made a covenant with the church, He took Jesus to Calvary and there, nailed to a cross, He tore Him apart. He tore His soul and body apart. He lifted up His body, set on His right hand in heaven, and He sent the Holy Ghost back to the church. And when we come to meet that body, we've got to have the same Spirit that was upon Christ, has got to be on us, or it won't dovetail with the body. Hallelujah.
The same Holy Spirit was in you, was in Christ. He said, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more." That's the unbeliever. "Yet you shall see Me, for I ('I' is a personal pronoun.), I will be with you, even to the end of the world."
