<TITLE>12. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 David Crockett is true, but now killing the bear at three years old, I doubt that. A lot of those things, believe a lot of fiction, a lot of them stories are fiction. Here when I was a little boy I had such admiration for William Tell; he shot a apple off his boys head. When I got down there in Switzerland, there's not a word of it true; it's all fiction. That's right. There was a William Tell true, but he never shot no apple off his boy's head, no, no nothing about it. But it's just fiction and--and stories that's told. Let's get the truth to the people. Let's not fellowship with that; let's fellowship with God, and with the Bible, and with the Holy Spirit. Make preparations for our children.

L-45 And notice, when the trials finally come, and Job went through the testing... Oh I love it. Excuse me, I'm not emotional, but I just get to feeling good. I love it. Testing, God testing His children... Don't you love it? Every trial in the testing, proving ground; this is a testing time, God testing His people, getting them ready.
Before you buy a team of horses, you go out and test them, check them. Let them pull awhile; run them see if they're wind broken, got lemons in their nose and so forth. Oh, you didn't know you put lemons in the nose for a wind broken horse? Huh. You do. All right. About your automobile, doctor it up with ca--castor oils, and fine oils, in the motor's real thick and take the knock out of it so that they can sell it. See? All these other things, testing. God puts His children through the testing. I'm so happy for it. So He can show His love to you.

L-46 Now, the testing, Job went on the test block for God. He hadn't sinned; they said he had sinned, but he didn't. Why did he know he hadn't sinned? He knowed he'd come the only way there was to come, through the shed blood. He'd made a sacrifice; he confessed his sins upon the basis of the shed blood. He knowed he was justified in the sight of God no matter what anybody said. He knew he was just, because he was justified by his faith in God's provided sacrifice. He believed it. All right.
And when the testings come, it proved out to be true. God took everything he had. He took His children, killed all them. Took all of his cattle, and sheep, camels, killed all of them. Done everything and broke his own body out, took his health. But he still loved the Lord. Because he had come God's way and had made connections with God. And once you connect God through the shed Blood, you know that there's something to it. You're not taking theology; you're taking what the Blood witnesses to you. There you are.

L-47 And notice, God restored to him all that he lost; it doubled. He doubled his sheep; He double the camels. But you notice, He just give him seven children, just what he had. What children was that? It was the same children he'd lost. They were under the Blood. They were in glory waiting for him. That's the way to have our children, isn't it. That's right. Give him back his children, sure, he's with them, tonight and will be forever more.
Israel had the shed blood of the lamb, the only way. And the only place that Israel could worship was under the shed blood. All the sacrifices and everything was brought into one common place, and there on the brazen altar they burnt the bodies and sprinkled the blood. And God (Listen, here it is now.), God only met Israel under the shed blood. The only meeting place, that God makes His people is under the shed blood, no other way. He won't meet you in your denomination. He won't, as good as it may be. He won't meet you with your education, your theology, as good as it may be. He will only meet you under the shed Blood.
The only place that God met Israel was under the shed blood. The only way He could talk to Adam and Eve, under the shed blood. The only way He could talk to Job, under the shed blood.
