<TITLE>04. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 Now, the reason that I like to speak on this tonight, is this reason: last evening we were speaking on Fellowship. Did you enjoy that? To... Getting into the fellowship. Now, I'm not a--a teacher or a--very much of a preacher because I'm not educated. But I do see what the need is, and I'm trying to strike at it the best that I can. Now, I'm--I'm afraid you all will suff--suffer me, or--or stay with me anyhow. And put up with it for a little while, that I'm trying to strike at a certain thing here to take place before we can even have a healing service. And we got to get these things out of the road, and then we can continue on in the services.
But now, last night I was trying to explain that there's only one way that we could ever have fellowship, and that is not through our churches, or not through our denominations, not through education, not through any other thing, but solely through the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, is the only way that man can be reconciled to God, through the great work of reconciliation. And the only way that I could take it, was go back into the Old Testament and type it in the New. Because I'm kind of a typologist. The reason I do that, is the lack of education. And I find out what the Old Testament was, which was a shadow, or a type, of the New. Then I know what the shadow looks like, and I see it--the antitype over here. And the Spirit between both bears record. And that's how I come to--how--only way I can teach the Bible.

L-15 Some people are smart and shrewd; they can pick up Greek words and so forth. And it's all speaking in tongues to me, because I certainly wouldn't know. But as long as I can know these types and shadows, and place them together, surely, that God, by the help of the Holy Spirit, is my solemn trust that He will make it and reveal it, so that even babies will be able to understand, these little children here, which will be the men and women of tomorrow if there is a tomorrow.
And now to get a picture of this that I'm fixing to speak of tonight, "Hidden Life With Christ," I find it most necessary today that men and women find out what's the matter. Now, I say this humbly, with all my heart, and surely I've been here in Minneapolis enough until you know that I... If I am deceitful, I don't mean to be; that's not in my heart. I never mean to be deceitful. I want... I love people, and I like to talk to people. And sometimes I might not be able to express the way I feel, but I--I hope you receive it in the way that I feel if I don't express it right.

L-16 And I--I feel that in the day that we're living, that there is a great need among Christian people, that they seem to want something that they're not able to get. And seeing that, and having the experience of what I'm speaking of, then I thought it most surely would be a good thing for me to try to explain in my humble way, so that you can join in and share in this great thing that Christ has purchased for us at Calvary.
Now, it all comes through the atonement; every blessing that we have comes through the atonement. We cannot teach any blessings outside of the atonement. Healing and everything else must come through the atonement, because He died to redeem us from the curse that was put on us by Adam's sin.
