<TITLE>13. Par 47-49</TITLE>L-47 Eating what? Living alone. Israel didn't go out and try to get some wild oats and break them up and make some corn cakes. That's what's the matter with the church tonight, got too many wild oats, that's your diet. You need a good old fashion Bible diet, is what you need. The pastor will tell you the truth about the Bible. Thank God we got plenty of them.
But notice, the wild oat diet. You know there was a bunch of preachers one time who was in a seminary, and there was a--a prophet come up to see them. And you know, they went out to get some--some peas to make some pottage. And they put on a great big pot to cook it up. And one of them preachers went out, and you know what he done? He picked a lap-full of gourds, and put it in there, and thought it was peas. Now, a guy that didn't know the difference between gourds and peas, pretty bad shape. And I'm telling you, some people tonight in the ministry don't know any better than that. that's right. Don't know the difference between the power of the Holy Ghost and fanaticism. Amen. There's a real genuine Holy Ghost. I will admit we got a lot of fanaticism, but that only indicates that we got a real one too. A bogus dollar only makes a real dollar better. Amen.

L-48 But there happened to be a man there that had a double portion. You know what he done? He just went out and got a handful of meal and throwed it into the pot. He never destroyed the pot; he never destroyed the--the--the pottage that was in it; he just took a handful of meal and throwed it in there, and he said, "Eat, there's life in the pot."
What did that meal represent? That meal come through a meal offering, which was a sacrifice, which come from the meal offering, speaking of Christ. The little burrs they grounded, had to ground every grain just the same, showing that the grinding of the meal in the sack, showed that Jesus Christ was the same yesterday, today, and forever. And if Christ in that day in a mess of poison could bring life, the same thing today: put Christ in a mess of poison doctrine will bring forth life, Divine healing, and the resurrection, and the power, the Holy Ghost just like it was on the beginning. Amen. What we need today is Chr--pass Christ into the Church and get away from a lot of these long nosed theologied doctors that we got. Hallelujah. You think I'm crazy? Maybe I am, but let me alone, I feel good, crazy, so just let me alone. Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee. I'm a lot more happier this way than I was the other way.

L-49 All right, notice, the meal made the difference. Said, "Don't dump it all out now. Just take the same material, it'll give you life." That's what Christ does. When you realize Him to be the same yesterday, today, and forever, it changes death to life. It changed death to life for these people in here was healed with cancer. It changed darkness to light last week when them two blind women that was healed. It fell... It changes every time death to life, every time that you believe and take Christ into it you find out that death to life comes when Christ comes in. Amen. You believe it with all your heart? If you can believe it, God will reward it. Hallelujah. Death to life because Christ was cast in. What do you think about that in the pit, brethren, you believe it? Amen. It's the truth. Death to life, 'cause Christ came.
