<TITLE>05. Par 15-19</TITLE>L-15 Just think... I asked the doctor, sometime ago, I said, "Doctor, is it true every time I eat I renew my life?"
Said, "Absolutely."
I said, "Well, it comes from what?"
He said, "Your food turns to blood, and you make new blood cells--new blood cells from your food."
I said, "I want to ask you something then." I said, "When I was sixteen years old, I ate potatoes, and beans, and corn-bread, and just the food I do now. And every time I eat then I renew my life and got bigger and stronger. I eat the same kind of food now and getting older and weaker. How is that?" I said, "I'd like for science to show me that."
If you're pouring water in a glass and it's filling up all the time till it gets a little... about half full, and then you pour... continue to pour water, and it don't leak out, but somehow or another, it just don't fill up, and get... going down all the time, more water you pour in, more it goes down... That won't work. But God said so. That's why. That's right.

L-16 God's painting a picture. And a man, when he comes up, he comes to a certain age, then after while, he ceases. God gets a picture just where He wants it and said, "There it is." All right.
In the resurrection that's just exactly what we're going to be in the resurrection, just when we're at our best. So we don't have nothing to worry about. Just serve the Lord Jesus, be borned again, and He promised we'd--we'd be there, and we'll be there. Don't worry. All right.
That's a promise that--that you see when you go to where Satan has taken the little baby out of the home, taken the little baby that didn't get to live, and raise it up. That's where you go to see the loving wife that you laid away. And you stand at the grave and the black clouds around. Oh, my. When you hear, "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust."
But the next power of faith, grace goes right through that dark cloud of death and sees a God of resurrection standing out yonder. Amen. He sees the resurrection, and by his faith he just dries up his tears and says, "Glory to God, I'll see Him again." See? That's it.

L-17 God... Through faith Moses kept the Passover, through faith what Moses did. And now, we find Israel at the river in a trap. Then when God brought His power down by the Holy Ghost light where we was at and moved them through that trap, and put them on the other side, God showing His power. He let them get in a trap so that He could show His power. Showed that He loved them.
That's the way that He does you sometime. He lets you take a little sickness so He can show you how much He loves you.

L-18 My old shepherd story, used to be that they said there was a man passing down through Palestine once. And--and he was... He had his sheep there... He had it--had its leg broke. And he said, "Oh, it's too bad, sir." Said, "Your sheep broke its leg, I guess?"
Said, "No, I broke it."
Why, he said, "You cruel-hearted shepherd. You mean you'd break your own sheep's leg?"
Said, "Yes. I did it for this purpose." Said, "I couldn't make her mind me, and so I broke her leg so I could show her how much I love her, and give her some special food, and pat her a little bit." And said, "That makes her love me and when her leg's healed up, she'll follow me right along, keep her out of trouble."

L-19 God does that sometimes. He lets something strike you so He can show you a little extra mercy, you know, just a little of His goodness, so that you'll walk a little closer to Him. So the Bible said, "That all things work together for good to them that love God."
So it has to be for the good. God just let that happen so it would be for the good. He's a good God. He's wonderful.
