<TITLE>11. Par 35-38</TITLE>L-35 That's the reason... You know the Bible said, "I give you a new spirit and then give you My Spirit." And many people gets that new spirit just to try to live right, and do right, and never get the Holy Spirit, and try to act by It. And there's the way you get in trouble. That's right.
The new spirit; it's a new life. That has nothing... That's good, but God has to give you a new spirit so we can get along with His Spirit. The old spirit you had, you couldn't get along with yourself, let alone God's Spirit. So He gives you a new spirit. And you see people...
That's the reason, friends... And as I do as evangelist, I try to stay in the Word, that you get the Spirit of the Word, not based upon some man's theology, but THUS SAITH THE LORD. I've got to answer yonder in the presence of all of you at the day of judgment. You must take the Spirit of God.

L-36 That spirit of Abraham, the seed of Abraham, which is the Holy Spirit, we being dead in Christ, take on Abraham's seed and are heirs according to the promise. We have the same kind of faith that Abraham had, and call everything contrary to God's Word as though it was not. God made a promise; I accept it. That settles it. That's all.
No matter how I feel, what it looks like, or anything else; God said so and that settles it. There's the children of Abraham that's the heirs according to the promise.

L-37 Now, notice when Jesus was here on earth, He said, "I do nothing till the Father showed Me." He could look out over the audience, and when the Father would show Him somebody He could tell them, "Your blood issue... You touched My garment, the blood issue stopped." He could do those things.
Someone would stand before Him and come up to Him, and He'd say, "Well now, you're a good man. You're a honest man."
"How did You know me, Rabbi?"
"Before Philip called you when you were under the tree, I saw you praying."
Same chapter, come Peter, came up to Him, He said, "Why, your name is Simon." Said, "You're the son of--of Jonah." He said, "I'm going to rename you, and I'm going to call you Peter." How did He know him, where he come from, who he was? The Father had showed Him. He said so. Everything He did, the Father showed Him.

L-38 Now watch, when God was going to use His own gift, He knowed where it was at. Christ was God's gift. Now, I'm talking of Jesus, the body, the Son, now. And when He wanted to use His own gift, He'd call Him away from Lazarus. And they sent to... Said, "Come over and pray for Lazarus." A people that had come out of their great orthodox church to follow a--what was so-called a fanatic, a holy-roller. That's exactly what He was called.
And all the early Christians was called heretics. That's crazy. See? So they were all called that, and they come out of the church to follow Him. And He'd live with them.
And then, when they sent for Him to come pray for the loved ones that was sick to death, He refused to come. What would you do to your pastor? "Oh, I'll go join the Methodists; that's what I'll do. If the Methodists does that, I'll go back to the Presbyterians." That's the reason...
If you've got a good man of God and he's God's servant, stay with him. But if he isn't a servant of God, get rid of him, get somebody that is. That's the only way to do it. And have faith in your pastor. That's true. Then you'll see the miracles of God happen if you got faith in Him. But He can only help you as you have faith in Him to lead...?...
