<TITLE>14. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Brother, as it was in that case, so is it many a hypo needles stops the deathbed confession. Oh, she thought she was right. But when it come the time to die, even a backslidden pastor had got around... She was all right. Sure, she was a good member of the church. And she paid into the church. And she was a pianist in the church, and whatmore. What more could she do? Intellectually she was thinking she was right. But when it come to a place...
You remember, your mind it's in--it's governed by the blood cells, and by the brain cells. And then when them blood cease to function to those brain cells, then the mind begin to... the intellectual part begin to die out of the woman. And when it begin to die out, and she begin to see, when that... this... spirit down here in her heart, which is her soul, went toward God... Death means separate.
And if you sin, disbelieve willfully, after Gospel's been presented to you, that soul nature of yours will gradually move away from you, and you'll feel it no more, just drawed away. You won't know it.

L-47 You say, "Well, I know, I believe I'm right." That's what's the matter with Michigan tonight. That's what's with the matter with Indiana tonight. That's what's the matter with the world tonight. They have been smothered to sleep with petty Hollywood impersonation of Christianity. What we need today is the old fashion hell fire and brimstone preachers back in the pulpit again to preach the truth (Right.), a hell for sinners, and "Except a man be born again, he will in no wise enter the Kingdom."
You believe the ministry that the Lord Jesus has committed to a blind, deaf, dumb, even dead raised from the raised from the grave. Remember, we'd have to have some conception of God, or those things wouldn't happen. That's a showdown, is Divine healing, which is right and which is wrong. The Bible said so, proved it Jannes and Jambres. Magicians could play miracles and do things, but they couldn't heal. God's the only One that can heal.
"I am the Lord Who heals all your diseases."

L-48 Today, people say, "Oh, that was in the day passed. There's nothing to it. A bunch of holy rollers, or a bunch of impostors, and so forth..." And you don't realize that you're blaspheming the Holy Ghost. That's right. And the first thing you know, your soul will go away from you; you'll become so cultorized out there with the rest of the cults, and things, till you'll think you're right, until death stares you in the face, and it'll be a different picture. I've stood by the many beds of them.
There she was laying there, thinking she was right. Fifteen minutes before she died, smoked a cigarette. Said, "They was all right, little old dirty habit of the flesh." But let me tell you something, brother, the tree's knowed by the fruit it bears. She didn't believe in anything. Said, "If the doctor can't help me, what's the use of some holy-roller preacher coming to do anything for me?" O God, have mercy. That's the attitude of thousands though this country tonight, yes, millions times millions.

L-49 And there, she in that state, but the intellectuals begin to fail, when the reasonings failed, her intellectual faith that she had in God, which was in her head, then that soul that she had grieved away begin to come up close her. She said, "My God, I'm lost! I'm lost!"
And her pastor said, "Oh, she..."
Said, "You deceiver, I'm lost!"
Said, "Doctor, doctor come here. She's--she's excited. She's--she's hysterical. Put a hypo in her arm."
When they shot a hypo in, she said, "I'm lost! I'm lost!" Another hypo. "I'm los... I'm lo..." And the hypo stopped her lips. But it'll never stop that soul, you live with through out eternity that she grieved away, to disbelieve the Word of God, an intellectual mind, through her reasonings had made her believe in her so in her head, that she was all right when she was wrong. That's the way with millions in the world today who profess Christianity. They don't know the first step towards God. Amen.
