<TITLE>08. Par 21-22</TITLE>L-21 And this tabernacle, which is known throughout the entire world, this little concrete block place setting on a corner, God has lifted you up before the nation. That's right.
How I think of what David, one night when he said, "Here I am living in a house of cedar and the ark of my God dwells in the tent." He said, "I'll build Him a house."
Nathan the prophet said, "Do all that's in your heart, 'cause God is with you."
That night God appeared to Nathan and said...?... "Go, tell David, 'Who was you, David? You were... I took you from a sheepcote, from attending the sheep, and I made you a great name like great men of the nations.'"
Who was in this little tabernacle setting here? A little, old, back washed, kicked out something setting on the corner of Eighth and Penn street, till hardly Jeffersonville knew where it was at and the people would come here... And today, God, by His mercy has picked you up and made you a great people. Bombay, India, knows where this tabernacle's setting. Delhi, India, all these other nations, Africa knows where this place is. India, Germany, England, Finland, Sweden, Europe, Asia, they all know. Way down in the Islands...?... and down in there, they know all about it. And God has made us an example to the people. And to think that after God's doing that and we turn around and dilly dally in the things of the world and become a very spiritual anemia... How we ought to be the lighthouse that's set on a hill, a candle that cannot be hid.
O God, I'm as guilty as the rest of you. What I need... I want--I want an old fashion God sent repentance and a calling back to God, that when men and women walk in that door on crutches, they'll walk out without them. When the blind is led in the door, they'll go out seeing. And when the deaf comes in deaf, they'll go out hearing. When sinners come in black and smutty with sin, will go out washed in the Blood of the Lamb...?... we do it?

L-22 God called Israel and made an example. God called us and made an example. But we've let down on God, and it blushes us in the Presence of God to think that the things that He's done for us: how He's lifted us up from the sheepcote; how He's made us known all over the world; how He's done the great things for us. And yet we dilly dally and mingle around, and go out. And we're not seem to be sincere. We don't have prayer any more. Things just are not going right. And we're trying to put on little programs, corn plasters to ease the pain. You can't ease the pain until you get good rich blood in there to heal the thing. Right.
You cut an old corn out and you'll get yourself with diabetes and they'll take your foot off. Don't try to dismiss this, and bypass this, and put a corn plaster on this; but the thing to do is to come straight out before God and say, "God, I am anemia and I need Your Blood to cleanse me from all my sins." That's my prayer, trust that it's yours. Think of these things, friends.
