<TITLE>13. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 And the only way... Notice. The people had to come to the place where the blood was shed. Get it? And the only way you'll ever have that perfect fellowship with God is come to the place where the Blood was shed. Where is it? Christ is God's meeting place. We meet together, and set together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And the Holy Spirit moves into the building when we're under the Blood.
How do we get in Christ Jesus? The first, the elements that came from His body is what we go into His body by. There came from His body water, Blood, Spirit. Spirit is the thing that brings you in. The preparation of the Blood is what cleanses of the waters of separation, as the red heifer was burnt and made waters of separation. And every believer coming to the temple first stopped in the courts. Just a moment, stopped in the courts for the waters of separation was kept there, and they were sprinkled.
The Waters of separation is the Word. The Word of God, the Waters of separation, through the washing of the water by the Word. You come and hear the Word, and the first thing It does, It separates you to move your thoughts from the evil to the good.

L-49 Then the next thing they did after leaving the courts, they come toward the temple. On the temple in the wilderness, was seven strokes of blood that was took by the high priest's finger at the dying of the heifer, and stroked across the door, showing that every believer coming to this fellowship must first recognize that a substitute died and prepared a way before him.
Every man that cometh into this wonderful fellowship first must ("Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the Word.")--then recognize the Blood of Jesus Christ, God's welcome mat back home to fellowship. And he must recognize the Blood was shed for you; His Life was given here on earth that you might have fellowship.

L-50 Then the Holy Spirit, as you come behind the veil into the curtains here, baptizes you, the water, Blood, Spirit. Baptizes you into the Body of Christ... Then... Here it is, brother, sister, listen closely now; we're closing. That's when you'll never call them holy-roller no more. No. Once get behind the curtain, that is, His flesh, let the Holy Spirit cleanse you by the Blood, bring you into Christ. Then you have fellowship. The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin at the door, now we have fellowship one with another.
Think of it. A Methodist brother can shake my hand as a Baptist. And a Pentecostal, and a Nazarene, and a Pilgrim Holiness, Presbyterian, whatever we are, we can shake one another's hands and have fellowship one with another, when the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. Hope you see it.
My time is passed. That's why we're here. God sent His Son, don't you believe it? He gave His Son that we might live. The Son had to shed His Blood. He resurrected His body; His body and bones is in the Presence of God tonight. But His Blood still stains the earth.

L-51 And through that shed Blood, come forth... The life is in the blood, and the Life is the Holy Ghost which is come back. Jesus said, "A little while (Listen.) and the world will see Me no more; yet you shall see Me, for I'll be fellowshipping with you to the end of the world. I (personal pronoun) will be fellowshipping; I'll be with you. "Wherever two or three are gathered together, I'll be in their midst, fellowshipping with you to the end of the world."
Do you recognize that He's raised from the dead tonight, Christian brother? Sinner friend of mine, I love you; God knows I don't want you to be a sinner. God don't want you to be a sinner. But would you like to enjoy a real fellowship like you've never had before? It'll beat a cup of coffee and a cigarette any time. It'll beat a drink of whiskey, or a carousing night to spoil the morals of some girl, or whatever. Won't you come tonight? Say, "God, be merciful to me a sinner; I want fellowship. I want to get something in my life that's real."
