<TITLE>16. Par 145-161</TITLE>L-145 Now, He never made a woman out of the dust of the earth. She's already a man, to begin with; the man and woman are one. So He took from the side of Adam, a rib, and made a woman, a helpmate to him. And then sin come in. Then after sin came in...

L-146   God will not be defeated, no matter what takes place. He will never be defeated. Then, women began to bring men on the earth. And God, through Eternal grace, seen who would be saved, and He called you. "No man can come to Me, except My Father calls him, first." "Not him that willeth, or him that runneth, but God that showeth mercy."

L-147 You say, "Well, I sought God. I sought God." No, you never. God sought you. That's the way it was in beginning.

L-148 It wasn't Adam saying, "O Father, Father, I've sinned. Where are You?"

L-149 It was Father saying, "O Adam, Adam, where are you?" That's the nature of man. That's the strain of man. That's what he's made of.

L-150 "And no man can come to Me except the Father draws him. And all that the Father gives Me..." Hallelujah! "All that come, I'll give them Eternal Life, and I'll raise him up at the last day." What a blessed, what a blessed promise, of a God of Heaven! Where we get to tonight, where, "He swore by Himself." There's none greater. You take an oath by someone greater than you. There no one greater, so God took an oath to Himself. We're getting into it, how He did it and when He did it; and took an oath to Himself, that He would raise us up and make us His own heritage.

L-151   Oh, how perfect and solid we can stand, this morning! How you can look, if death is staring you right in the face, you could say like Paul, "Death, where is your sting? Grave, where is your victory? But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." There you are. Why?

L-152 "Oh, you did so-and-so."

L-153 "I know it, but I'm covered by His Blood." Hallelujah!

L-154 "By one Spirit, we were all baptized into one Body." You Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, whatever you are, we were baptized into one Body. We have fellowship, and we're citizens of the Kingdom of God, professing, that, "We are not of this world."

L-155 My little girl come, other day, said, "Daddy, this little girl did so-and-so. And they did so-and-so. We went over to the house. They did so-and-so." I said... Said, "Why don't we do that?"

L-156 I said, "Honey, we are not of that world. They live in a world to theirself."

L-157 Said, "Don't we all walk on the same ground."

L-158 I said, "Of the world, honey. We're not of them people."

L-159   The Bible said, "Come out of them, be ye separated," saith God. See, you're not of that. And when that new Nature comes into you, you don't have to be pulled out. You don't want to go back, like Lot's wife. You're just born, out of it. And you're in another dimension. And that looks trashy to you.
And this, the great, fabulous America that we live in, has become one big chaos of it. Everything is lust and women. And women the way they're dressing, the men the way they're acting, and--and the things they're doing, and then call themselves, "Christians."

L-160 For instance, this Elvis Presley, go and join the Pentecostal church now. Course, that's where Judas got thirty pieces of silver. Elvis got a fleet of Cadillacs, and a--and a few million dollars, for selling his birthrights. Arthur Godfrey. Look at that.

L-161   Look over here at Jimmy Osborne in Louisville, out there with that old boogie-woogie, rock-and-roll, old tommyrot and filth. And on Sunday morning, take the Bible and stand on the platform and preach. What a disgrace!
No wonder the Bible said, "Every table is full of vomit." Why, we're living in a terrible day!
