<TITLE>06. Par 26-30</TITLE>L-26 That was the sacrificial Lamb. The Blood was in the shape of the cross, on the lintel on the door post and was a sign that death could not come to that house. And when death tries to strike us, that separation from God, then the Blood is applied by the Lord Jesus Christ, and the death angel cannot take it. No sir, for we are free then.
We are in Christ and led by the Spirit of Christ: led. Many men and nearly all men... I'll say all men, that's ever amounted to very much in this life has been men and women who have been led to do the gallant things they've done by the Spirit of God.
I think tonight one of the greatest generals that America has ever had was Stonewall Jackson. I believe there's never been a general that's like him since Joshua. Why was it he done that? He was a gallant man. He was a man of prayer. He--he closed up everything, even made all his generals, and everything, don't even eat breakfast, or nothing, and lay on their face and seek God. Yes, sir. General Grant, or, I'm... Stonewall Jackson, I'm thinking of instead of Grant...

L-27 General Grant was a drunk, alcoholic, but Stonewall Jackson was a Christian gentleman, and he loved the Book of Joshua. And he wanted to be like Joshua, and God give him the desires of his heart. And one day he was asked, "Why is it, Mister Jackson, that you can stand in such opposition, so many men against you, and you take a little handful and stand?"
He was a very timid sort of a fellow, little short fellow, kind of blue-eyed and dark hair. He kicked his boots on the dust, and he said, "I never put a glass of water to my mouth without thanking Almighty God."
There's where it comes from. That's right. There's where the secret lays: trusting God, being led by the Spirit of God. God speaks to man; man hears His Voice.

L-28 Noah, in the early beginning at the antediluvian destruction, when he was the man who feared God, a farmer, lived out on the farm, saying God spoke to him one day, and he was led by the Spirit of God to build an ark for the saving of his household.
And now, God that spoke to Noah is the same God that speaks tonight. When He speaks to Noah to make a way for the saving of his household, He speaks to every man. And the way has already been made for the saving of your household: the Lord Jesus Christ, His vicarious suffering and death at Calvary.
And how that Noah... Now, there was no sign of rain, never had rained out of the heavens. It always... God watered through the earth up to the streams, irrigation like. Never rained out of the heavens, but God told Noah that His judgments was coming.

L-29 And He said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man." The judgments is bound to strike, for man had continually to get evil. All their thoughts was evil. They had all kinds of devicities like we got today, really a smarter people than we are today. They built the pyramid, and sphinx, and many of those things there that our modern machinery couldn't touch. We couldn't no wise touch it.
They must've had a controlled atom power. Gasoline power, electrical power, would never lift those boulders and build such as the pyramid. They weigh hundreds of tons, and setting away in the air, almost about a city block high mostly. And how did they ever get them up there? That's the mystery, and so perfect mason till a razor blade couldn't go between them: honed down. They are masterpieces, mastermind.

L-30 And they got so smart and so shrewd. And the Bible said they become workers of wood, workers of brass, a great day of science. And they got so smart till they figured they just outsmarted God and didn't need Him any longer.
And then God, not willing that any should perish, talked to a man out in the field one day, Noah, and told him to erect an ark to protect him from the judgments. God led him to do it.
And Noah, right away took his old crude tools, and so forth, and began to build away on the ark. And as he built away, and God told him how to fix it...
