<TITLE>24. Par 212-219</TITLE>L-212 Now, if I love Christ, I'll live with Him. He would never brought me in 'less He know. If God saved me today, knowing He was going to lose me six weeks from today, He is defeating His Own purpose. Right. He don't even know the future then, if He saved me, knowing. What's He want to save me for, knowing He's going to lose me? God doesn't do things, then take it back in two weeks, to keep His promise. When He saves you, it's for time and Eternity.

L-213   Now, you can be worked up, and say, "Oh, yes, bless God! Hallelujah! I spoke in tongues. I shouted. I got her. Hallelujah!" That don't mean you got It. But, brother, when something come down here, and you anchor with Christ, then the fruits of the Spirit follow you. We bear record, our spirit with His Spirit, that we're sons and daughters of God. Please have That, friends.

L-214   I'll keep you here all night, talking about that. I love It. I love you. I come back to this little tabernacle, time after time, if God shall spare my life. I want to see you rooted and grounded in that holy Faith. I don't want to see you tossed about, by every little wind of doctrine come by, and shake you, and carry on, and have a little blood in their hands, or a little frost on their face, or something another, and seeing some kind of--of--of lights before them, and some kind of a--a selfish thing, as the Bible said, "Puffed up in his heart, and seen nothing." That's right. I want you to be solid on the Word. If it's THUS SAITH THE LORD, stay with It, live with It. That's the Urim Thummim of this day. God wants you to live by That. If it's not in the Word, then forget about it. Live for God, live for Christ.

L-215   And if your heart begins to stray around, you know there is something that's happened, go back to the altar and say, "Christ, renew my... the joy of my salvation. Give unto me that love that I once had. It's leaking out, Lord. There is something I've done. Make me holy again, stand. O Lord, nothing I could do. I can't quit this and quit that. I'm looking to You to take it out of me, Lord, and I love you."

L-216 And walk away from that altar, a new person in Christ Jesus. Then you won't have to depend on your church, depend on your priest, depend on your pastor. You're depending on the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus. "By grace are you saved."
Let us pray.

L-217   Lord, such strong teachings! It's time this little church could take meat, and no more the milk of the Word. We been too much in the milk now, giving the baby his bottle. But we got to have strong meats, for the day is getting close. Great perilous times are at hand, and more trouble laying in the road. And we know that there'll never be better times. We know that we're at the end. Times will continue to get worse and worse until Jesus comes, according to the Scriptures.

L-218 We cannot promise them nothing in this life. But in the life to come, we can promise them Eternal Life through Thy Word, if they'll believe on the Son of God and accept Him as their propitiation, as the One who stood in their place, as the One who took their sins. Grant it now.

L-219 May unbelievers become believers. May church professors, here tonight, who has professed religion and just living in the church, may they receive an experience with God; that such love comes into their heart, that they weep for their sins, die out to themselves, and are born anew by the Holy Spirit, and being meek and kind, loving, and full of joy and blessings. Living such a life, till they're so salty that they make the people that's around them, thirst to be like them. Grant it, Lord, for we ask it in His Name.
And with our heads bowed.
