<TITLE>06. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 Now, also, listen. Here about two years ago, I was in Chicago where science has proved now... Just about a year and six months ago, I guess it was, they had a piece in the paper (Mr. Boze's daughter and I were reading it.), that where that the doctors has proved that inside of the heart of a human, not a animal, in a human is a teeny little compartment--little bitty compartment that doesn't even have a blood cell in it. And they say it's the...?... of the soul. The soul lives in the heart.
Now, intellectual faith is what... That's what's the matter with our revivals today. Now, here it is now; get it. Billy Graham, Jack Schuler, many a great man, Oral Roberts, great evangelists on the field has combed this nation back and forth. Altar calls has been made till enough to convert a thousand Americans--or Americas, rather.
But the reason, it's only the people are brought to an intellectual faith. If they would go on just a little deeper till that faith come from the intellectuals and soaked down into the soul, it would last. That's the reason about eighty percent or ninety percent of the converts that comes in a revival is gone before six months is gone, is because they only have an intellectual conception. But when it becomes an experience of being born again of the Spirit of God, that anchors to eternity.

L-15 Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed until the next revival? I just wanted to see if you was listening to what I was talking about. "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed," how long? [Congregation replies, "day of your redemption"--Ed.] That's right. No breaking the seal... When a--a building is completely--or a boxcar, I'd say, loaded and the seal put on it, don't you never touch that seal; you're in trouble with the government.
And when God cleanses out by grace all the unbelief out of the heart, where a man can look God in the face and realize that he's an offspring of God, he'll believe every Word that God wrote in that Bible to be the truth. God will seal him into the Kingdom of God by the Holy Ghost until the day of his redemption. God said so. I believe the Word.

L-16 One great neglect among us, one great thing that we don't have much of is the anemic condition of the church. The condition at the church is failing and here's... Now here's one thing; we go too much upon evidences. Now, Luther said, "The just shall live by faith." He thought he had it.
Wesley said, "When you got enough salvation to get sanctified..." Now, you good Methodist, that's pretty good. When you got enough faith to sanctify and get to shouting, Nazarenes, Pilgrim Holiness, Methodist, you said, "Glory, we got it." But you found out you didn't. That's right. You done a lot of things after you shouted you oughtn't have done: backslid, went on back.
You Pentecostal got to speaking in tongues; you said, "Oh, brother, we got it now." But you find out you didn't. Hmm.
God is Love. And the fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, goodness, gentleness, mercy. Where there's knowledge, it shall vanish. Educate your preachers as much as you want to. Where it'll--knowledge, it'll vanish. Where there's prophecies, it'll fail. Where there's tongues, they shall cease. But when that which is perfect is come, which is love, it endureth forever.
