<TITLE>19. Par 72-75</TITLE>L-72 Look at them now. They're coming up to the borderline again. And now, they sent the spies out and they'd found the harlot, Rahab, there. And she give them a blood sign of this red scarlet streak down through, for their escape. Now, it comes time to cross over.
I could imagine what Joshua thought. Now, just in closing. Just before we call the prayer line, I want to leave this thought with you. Think of it: forty years of wandering in the wilderness. Joshua was becoming an old man now. God had chose him, said He was going to take Moses' place. And here he is; the time is at hand and Joshua's to move over.
Look what a bunch of rebels that he's had to contend with. But he called them all together one day there, when he moved up to the bank, for he knew that God had promised the land belonged to them. And that morning he said... a... told them what to do. He said, "Sanctify yourselves and get ready, for we're going to cross over."

L-73 If there ever was a call to the Church to sanctify yourselves and get away from the things of the world, we're ready to cross over. Amen.
Are you ready tonight to throw aside, sanctify yourself from all your unbelief? You read in the newspapers; you hear ministers testifying of blind, deaf, and dumb. What's the matter? Don't you believe that's for you too? The same Gospel's been preached to you like was preached to them. Are you ready to sanctify yourself?
There's only one sin, and that sin is unbelief. Smoking cigarettes, drinking whiskey, and telling lies, and committing adultery, that's not sin. That's the attributes of sin. You do that because you are a sinner. That's what makes you do it. See? It's not sin itself; that's just what the results of sin.
Now, and the only sin there is is unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already," said Jesus, in Saint John 3. See?
You've got to... You--you--you don't believe. There's only two facilities: one of them is unbelief and the other one is faith. If you believe, you are. If you do not believe, you are not. That's the only thing.

L-74 Now, sanctify yourself and get away from every superstition, everything that would tell you... The devil say, "Well, if I get called upon the platform, I might get healed tonight."
Get that devil away from you. It doesn't matter whether you come up here or not. It's whether you get up there or not with faith. Amen. Have faith in God. Believe it.

L-75 Joshua said, "Now, you're going to see the glory of God." For there hung the Pillar of Fire over them. He said, "Now, when the--when the Pillar of Fire begins to move down towards the Jordan," said, "then as the priests takes it down, let every man fall right in behind, and don't get too close to it. But don't let it get out of your sight, 'cause you've never passed this way before." I believe there's an experience for the Church "that you've never passed this way before."
To you people tonight, maybe, if you can't have faith enough, let's move out towards Jordan tonight. Oh, my. Maybe you've never passed this way before, but let's pass this way tonight. Amen.
You say, "I never did it before, but I'm going to try it tonight." God's here leading you. That's what's talking to your heart and telling you to do it, is the Holy Spirit.
