<TITLE>11. Par 41-45</TITLE>L-41 Notice. Israel met at this temple, and there they come together. A proselyte, before he could be come in had to be circumcised. That's coming by the cutting off of the flesh of the foreskins of the male. Then a man before he can come to Christ, the first thing has to take place, he has to be circumcised, circumcised not his flesh, but by the Spirit. It cuts all the world and the foolishness of the world cut off of him by the Gospel. This is that blessed circumcision knife and the only one that I know of.
Hebrews 4 said, "The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, cutting even to the marrow of the bone and a discerner of the thoughts of the mind." God knows your heart.

L-42 Notice. Then when he's circumcised all the world cut off as a believer, he comes through the Water of separation which is the Word, preaching the Word. Then he comes and recognizes that something died to go before him. There's the seven stripes that was on the door where Eleazar put it with his finger from the killing of the red heifer, and striped the door with the blood to let the worshippers see.
Exodus about the 16th chapter you'd read it, if you want to read it tomorrow, and then you'll find out through the killing of this heifer, burning her, made a waters of separation that's kept in the courts on the outside, that every time a man sinned or dropped out of fellowship, the first thing he did was come and be cleansed by the waters of separation.

L-43 The only way a man can recognize that he's a sinner is by hearing the Word of God. Faith cometh by hearing. And over in the Old, in the New Testament said, "We are washed through the waters by the Word." And the Word is what separates us from the things of the world.
You can't have faith... Faith's not based upon sifting sands of man's theology. Faith's not based upon the document of some church or some creed. Faith is based solidly on the unmovable Word of God. Faith cometh by hearing, and a man through that separates himself from the things of the world when he is coming to Christ...?...

L-44 Then that's--Eleazar after killing the heifer burning her while she was bleeding he made a public testimony dipping his fingers and striping seven times over the door. That's seven times, if we had time to go into it, represents the Seven Church Ages. Every age, every person, every time must recognize the Blood. For without the shedding of Blood there's no remission of sin. Then before you could come into fellowship he had to look up and recognize that something died in his stead and went on before him.
Every man today no matter how many churches you join, how many pages you turn, you've got to recognize that Christ died in your stead and went on before you, making a way and through His Blood you are a sanctified vessel unto the Lord. Amen.
Not your sanctification, not laying in something you did, but His sanctification, through Him Who gave Hisself for us, died in our stead. Let that faith go to work down in the heart one time and watch what takes place. All of you, you don't have to take some man's theory; you got the Word. That's right.

L-45 Then this believer as he went on into the temple recognizing that this blood went before him when he crossed under the blood, not over the blood, but under the blood... Amen. Church, there's where we make the mistake. We come out of the seminary, and we think we know more about it than God does, and we just count the Blood of Jesus Christ as if it wasn't nothing, and trust in our education, our...?... our day of science and things, and think that we got better churches and so forth, but we got weaker pulpits. That's right. It's true.
Notice friends. When you respect the Blood of the Lord Jesus...
