<TITLE>12. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 But on the Day of Pentecost, when they seen these people all manifesting the new resurrected Life, that they'd been Inoculated, they asked one of God's doctors... Would you like to know his name? Doctor Simon Peter. They asked him, "What can we do to receive this?"
And Doctor Simon Peter wrote a prescription for all generations. He said, "Repent, every one of you." That means "turn back." "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost; for this prescription is for all generations, to you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
There's the prescription. You can receive the Holy Ghost. The promise is to you, when you get away from your unbelief and repent, and do about face, and turn towards God, instead of your intellectual thinking. God has promised. It's the prescription that Doctor Simon Peter wrote: "The promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
God still lives. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-37 Why then? Is there no Balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Certainly. There is a great Physician here. What's the reason the people won't receive it? Because of their unbelief. They set right in the church and die. They come from the doctor's office, and lay in the house, and die, because they refuse to believe in the great Physician. They lay in their beds of worldliness, and perish, and go to a everlasting hell, because they refuse to receive the Balm that's in Gilead for sinful souls. Far be it from you, my friends.
I've talked to you a long time. But let me say this; I've been speaking for about forty-five minutes. There is a Balm in Gilead. There is a Physician there. Then why is the Church so sickly? Why is it so sinful? Is because people refuse to--to believe it. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever has raised from the dead. He's right here now. He's the same as He was then. When He was here, He didn't claim to be a healer. He only claimed that He did... In Saint John 5:19, Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise."

L-38 In other words, He did not do one miracle until He saw by a vision what God did. And then He said, "The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto." The Father showed Him what to do. Now, he said, "The works that I do shall you also; even more than this shall you do." I know the King James says "greater," but there could be no greater, it's "more," because He was in one Man now; now He's all over the world and in every member. "More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father."
Let us think on that now, and know there is a Balm in Gilead. There's a Balm in the Name of Jesus Christ, if it's spoke through holy reverent lips that's been sanctified by His Blood and called to the ministry. Why did I say that? Because Jesus said, "Whatever you ask the Father in My Name, that I will do. If you abide in Me, and My Word's in you, ask what you will, and it shall be given unto you." Let us pray. There is a Balm in Gilead. Gilead is the Church.
