<TITLE>18. Par 67-70</TITLE>L-67 When He overshadowed Mary, and created her, brooded a Blood cell in the womb that brought forth the Son, Christ Jesus, where God Himself tabernacled on earth for thirty-three and a half years, and was made a propitiation for our sins to redeem us, and to bring reconciliation between lost men and a holy God to kiss them and reconcile them together, that in the cool of the evening when the sun is setting over our brow, when my life's journey is run, and my race is finished, I want Him to kiss me to sleep as He did Stephen when he was battered and bled to death, said, "I see the heavens open, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God." There you are.

L-68 Now, how can that come about? And if God made us what we are without us having any knowledge of what was going on, if God made me a man and put me up at my right age before our death set in... At about twenty-three years old I was strong and healthy. And if Satan didn't interfere, he tried to cripple me, and shoot me down, and many things.
But God seen so in you, when you were young, and when you were pretty, you--you women that's got old... And you men who were young, and strong, and healthy, and how you enjoyed being a man, and your little companion... If God did that without you having any say so in it... You never said, "Make me thus." Who'd taking any thought and could add one cubit to his statue. But if He made you thus, without you having anything to say, how much more can He, through His brooding, give you a--a choice?

L-69 And you're on the basis of free moral agency. You can turn this down or you can accept it. To turn it down is to be lost and remain potash, and calcium, and petroleum. But to accept it, and to have a new heart, a new spirit, and His Spirit, part of the Logos in you controlling your emotions... And when He coos through His Word, you coo back and answer to Him. "Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and forever..."
"Amen, Lord."
"I'm the Lord that healeth all thy diseases."
"Amen, Lord."
How much more will He raise you up, though your bodies be blowed from east to the west by the winds, how much more can this Holy Spirit after the total annihilation by this atomic bomb that's going to drop on this earth one of these days, blowing holes, and scattering out through the space... But the calcium and potash will remain here. And then the Holy Spirit brood again, every bone will go to bone; every limb will go to limb. And there'll be a Church of the living God stand up in the last days.

L-70 Friends, only by the brooding or the cooing of the Holy Spirit can you ever do it. Will God ever promise to raise you up, as you listen to His Voice, that still small voice that speaks in the depths of your soul.
And, friend, in closing, just one moment longer, and I want you to be thinking deeply and sincerely. We're going to leave one day. And why, oh, please tell my why would you try to accept any counterfeit, any church theology, any intellectuals, any emotion, anything contrary, when the Pentecostal sky's are full of the genuine blessings?
The real Spirit of God that controls you and makes you a real Christian, you don't have to impersonate a thing, you just be a child of the living God. Why? Tell my why would you try to accept anything different, when God is willing, and waiting, and has brought you this far, and then trying to make love to you through the Holy Spirit, would you accept the declaration of creeds and so forth to try to get you to heaven, or some fantastic of mental emotion which is not even recognized in the Bible? Won't you receive it?
Oh, people of God, to your knees and to your God. May God have mercy is my prayer, while we pray.
