<TITLE>05. Par 17-21</TITLE>L-17 I spoke to a--a woman some time ago, and she was looking so frail. She'd noticed sometime in her younger days of this advertisement on the televisions and the signboards of--of beautiful women smoking cigarettes. And the company says that it will make you thin. That's when they sold their product to the public.
If it makes you thin, is because you're dying. It's TB and cancer that's making you thin. She said, "I just have to smoke. I'm a slave to it."
Well, you don't have to be a slave to it. There is a Balm in Gilead. There's a Balm in Christ. There's a cure for it. You don't have to do it. You don't have to drink. You don't have to smoke. You don't have to gamble. The reason you do it, is because you refuse the remedy. You'll die on the church steps until you take the remedy that cures. That's what satisfies. That's what takes sin away.
They say, "I just can't help it." You can help it.

L-18 What if the man, laying on the doctor's steps, said, "Oh, I know he's got the medicine in there to cure this disease, but I just can't go in." Why can't you go in? And in this case, you're even persuaded and try to pull you in for the sin of your soul. But yet, people won't do it.
What is sin? It's your unbelief. If you believed God, you'd rush to Calvary just as quick as you could. God has a remedy for unbelief. No wonder people don't believe in Divine healing these days, don't believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, is because that they've never been inoculated from unbelief yet.

L-19 Now, there was a time when there was no toxine for diphtheria. Many died because there was no toxine. And there was a time when there was no toxine for typhoid fever. But they got toxines today for those things.
And there was a time when there was no Balm in Gilead for your sins. But there is a Balm in Gilead today. For in today in the house of David--the city of David in the house of God, is a fountain open for washed and clean the unclean. "There is a fountain filled with Blood drawn from Immanuel's veins, where unbelievers plunged beneath the flood, lose all their guilty stains."

L-20 Men and women who's made in the image of God, stand and say that God's Word's not right. They doubt this, and they doubt whether It's so or not. There's a fountain to take care of that.
As I was speaking on the private interviews today and met a couple, a men and his son. I said, "You can never, never go forward, until you're perfectly satisfied, and know without a shadow of doubt you're walking in God's will." Then when you know that you're in God's will, and walking in His way, nothing can stop you, because you know where you're standing. You know the way you're going. You know what's--what's you got in your mind; you know what the will of God is, and then you can do it.

L-21 Now, when God got ready to make an appropriation for sin in the Old Testament, it wasn't too sure, because that he took it under the sacrificial suffering of animals, like the guinea pigs and so forth. And there was no spirit in those animals who could return back to the worshiper when the blood cell was broken and the life of the animal was taken.
But God has a sure cure now. And you don't have to guess. It'll help everybody, because, "Whosoever will may come and take from the waters of Life freely." It won't help one and kill another, for It will help all: "Whosoever will may come." All unbelievers are invited, that they might wash themselves and be inoculated from their unbelief. It's a sure cure, a double cure God has for you.
