<TITLE>06. Par 22-24</TITLE>L-22 Now, it was questioned. But one day, down on the river of Jordan, when an old preacher, standing down there with a piece of camel skin wrapped around him, eat wild locust and honey for his meat... God didn't send a guinea pig, but He sent His own Son for the test of this inoculation or Balm. And as soon as He was baptized, the heavens opened, and God, in the form of a dove, a--descending from heaven, spoke, and said, "This is My beloved Son in whom I'm pleased to dwell in." Come upon Him...
What did It do? It Inoculated Him from everything called sin. He was tempted in all manners, like we are, yet without sin. And then in His death, He died like a man, like a human being. But the inoculation proved good on Easter morning, It raised Him up from the dead, and broke the bands of death and the seals of the grave. And He rose again to prove that this inoculation of Eternal Life has been proven by God's own Son that it'll raise up the dead.
When It was in His body and He walked around with It in there, He healed the sick. He did it by visions that God gave Him. He said in Saint John, the 5th chapter and the 19th verse, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing until He sees His Father do it first." And He did by vision what the Father told Him to do.

L-23 And then, after He had proved the Serum of God would cure from sin and keep you in the hour of temptation... It would not only do that, but It would work miracles through the power of God through this Balm that was in Gilead. Not only that, but after you're dead, and laid in the grave, It'll raise you up again. The Serum held out.
It's the Balm of Gilead, the Balm of heaven that God gave to His Son to inoculate Him to bring the proof, not a guinea pig for a medicine, but a Son from heaven, proving what He was. And He took it, and was anointed with the Spirit, and God was in Him performing miracles and signs. Then He killed His human life on Calvary, and He died, and went into the grave, and laid there three days and nights. But on the third day, He broke the bands and rose again. For He said, "This inoculation, this balm will rise Me up again at the last days. It'll raise Me up after three days."

L-24 Now, He prescribed It to His disciples. And He said, "Don't go to some seminary to learn to preach, but wait in the city of Jerusalem till you've been inoculated with the Toxine from heaven." That'll take care of you. That'll hold you in the hours of temptation. And with this Toxine, when you're anointed with It, it's Eternal Life. "I want you to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, inoculate everyone who will believe; And these signs shall follow them that believe."
Brother, sister, because the world's grouping in darkness and sin, it's not because there's not a Balm in Gilead; it's because people refuse to take It. It's not because there isn't a power that'll take men from the saloon, from the pool tables; it's not a--because there's no grace in God that'll shed in your heart, that'll make you live right and act right and be right; it's because they refuse to take It.
