<TITLE>06. Par 24-28</TITLE>L-24 If you'll notice on the platform in different places, everywhere--not only here, anywhere--the people come by, they expect... They've had too much of this here high pressured, latter day, Divine healing campaigns. It's exactly right. People saying, "I got it in the hand. Whew. Feel it? Feel it? You feel it?" No, you don't feel it. You might feeled your hand, but that's all you feeled. That's right.
Jesus never did say, "Did you feeled it?" He said, "Did you believe it?" See? Not did you feeled it? do you believe it? Faith is not feeling; faith is something that you don't feel; you have no senses will declare it, only that sixth sense, that faith that knows it. You don't feel, taste, smell, or hear it; but you know it. Because Jesus said so; that settles it.

L-25 And if I could ever get a message sometime that would shake the people away from all this here Hollywood evangelism and get them down to the Bible to THUS SAITH THE LORD, then something will happen. And that's what I've longed to see. We've had a stir here in the Temple. But I'd like to see a--a revival in the Temple.
Now, a revival is not bringing in new members, a revival is reviving what you've already got. That's what we need, is a revival.
Did you ever see the sea have a revival? Sure. When it goes to leaping and jumping, and the waves a beating, there's not one drop of water more in it than it was when it was perfectly quiet. But it's got a revival, throws all the trash up on the shore. That's what it does.
And that's what the church needs tonight, is a revival to throw all the nonsense out of it, and throw it out on the shore, so they can get back to Gospel solid foundation.

L-26 That's what the--the Bible said, "Come and buy of Me, gold--pure gold, tried in a fire." The old beaters used to take the gold when they beat it, and they would beat that gold, and turn it over, and beat it, beating the dross out of it, until the reflection of the beater, he could see it in it. Then he knowed he had the dross out of it.
And that's the way God takes the Holy Spirit, and takes the Christian and the Church, and beats it with the Gospel, and back and forth, and back and forth, until it reflects Jesus in it. The Holy Spirit can see the works of Jesus going on in the Church, then things begin to go fine.
But there's too much dross in the Church today. Too much. Now, they're fine people, the--the best in the world, the cream of the crop. But the Church needs to make Itself ready. Get ready. The Bible said, "And she... The Bride had made Herself ready," as I preached on it at Pisgah the other day.

L-27 Now, Abraham was a man that God gave the promise to, made the covenant, absolutely unconditionally with Abraham and his seed. And if you're Abraham's seed, you're absolutely heirs of the promise just like Abraham was. See? And it... Abraham's faith... If you're Abraham's seed...
Now, it doesn't mean physical seeds, 'cause them are Jews. But as Paul said, that which is a Jew outwardly is not Jew. It's a spiritual Jew inside. A Jew, a real spiritual Jew is a man who believes God's Word just like Abraham believed it, and calling anything contrary to it as though it was not.

L-28 Now, that's the kind of a church... If we could get that type of church... If we could get this group, right here tonight, under them kind of a conditions, there'd be a revival break in this place here that, why, twelve o'clock, one o'clock in the morning, five o'clock in the morning, they'd be walking these floors in this building all night long praising the Lord. They'd be a revival break out here that all... The newspaper men would be standing in the door in the morning. He'd scatter across the world, everywhere, "A revival broke out in Angelus Temple. There's something like the day of Pentecost going on." God wants that. He wants it, but He can't wake His children up. He can't get them to the--realize that.
