<TITLE>05. Par 15-18</TITLE>L-15 Now, in Ezekiel the 36th chapter, and we wish to begin to read the 26th verse.
A new spirit, and a new heart will I give Thee.
And then in the 27th:
And I will put my spirit in you, and cause you to walk in my statutes...
Now, shall we bow our heads just before we approach this. Our heavenly Father, today it's with grateful hearts, as we quietly and reverently approach this sacred moment, that when... How do we know but what this very hour, may determine the eternal destination of a soul setting present? And the value of that soul is compared with many thousands of worlds.
So we pray, Father, that You will let us approach reverently, solemnly, and in the attitude of prayer. And also, there may be sick people setting present, who this day, and their attitude that they receive through this Word, may determine how much longer they stay on the earth. So we realize the solemnity of this very moment, and we ask that Your great Presence will anoint us all.

L-16 Seeing that we're earthly people, died, taking us from the earth, and earth shall we return... And only while we're living in this earthly vessel do we have the privilege to serve Thee and to win others to Thee. So we ask that You'll let our hearts be yielded to Thy Word. And may the Holy Spirit take the Word, and deliver It to us as we have need. For we ask it in Jesus Name, Thy beloved Son. Amen.
If I should name for a few moments this morning... My wife told me the other day, said, "Billy, if you could cut your sermons to thirty minutes instead of two hours and thirty minutes, I think it would be more effective."

L-17 And I said, "As much as I love you, and as much as I know that that is the truth, but you see I--I have no other to lead me but the Holy Spirit, and I don't know no more than just keep talking as He keeps pushing it on."
So that's the way I have to do it. And even when I stop when He's blessing, and when He's not, then I'm a miserable person, and my audience is also, and every other minister that speaks by inspiration.
But if my subject would be this morning, if I should call it that, "The Impersonation of Christianity," "Impersonation of Christianity."
In the Scriptures here, which is the Word of God, we read here that the prophet, which had spoken of a new day...

L-18 Now, Ezekiel was prophesying or foretelling what would take place in a age to come, not in his age. But a prophet is a seer and is referred to in the Bible as the eagle who goes way high in the air. And higher you go, the farther you can see.
So the eagle soars up much higher than any other bird. There's no bird can go with the eagle. And there's no eye like the eagle. The hawk hasn't got a chance in his sight. And the hawk could not stand the--the altitude of where the eagle can soar; he would die. He doesn't... He hasn't got the makeup that the eagle has.
Now, the hawk is a bird, and so is--is the other birds. But the eagle was made thus, because he is a high soaring bird. And he can go way so high until he can see things that the other birds cannot see, because he's higher. And God in making the eagle made him for that purpose, because his nest is higher than the others. His little ones is up in the nest, and they feed on the ground. So in order to see the storm or the trouble coming, the eagle to survive must go higher so he can protect his little ones.
