<TITLE>09. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 When God gave this Toxin test... You know, there was a time when we didn't have any toxin for smallpox. Many people died. But now we've got toxin for smallpox. We got smallpox, and for diphtheria, and many diseases, even now for polio we got toxines.
And there was a time when the toxin wasn't very good, or not too good for the soul, but now it's perfect. Under the old toxin of the law, it was a--a law that animals died to reconcile us to God. It can never do away with sin; it only covered sin. But now the Bible said the worshiper once purged has no more conscience of sin. Or the right translation would be, no more desire to sin when he's took the Toxin.

L-28 This Toxin was tried out, not by a guinea pig. This Toxin of Eternal life wasn't tried out by a guinea pig. God never chose a guinea--guinea pig; He chose His only beloved Son to prove this Toxin to the human race. "And when he was baptized, he went straightway out of the water, and behold, the heavens opened. And John bare record seeing the Spirit of God like a Dove descending, and a Voice said, 'This is My beloved Son, in Whom I'm well pleased.'"
He walked in life like we walk. He was tempted with the same temptation where we was tempted with, without sin, proving that the Toxin would work, not on a guinea pig, not on an animal, but upon the Son of God, a Man.
And when He come to death, the Toxin proved to be right. It made Him pray for His enemies. And then on Easter morning, God proved the Toxin was right, when He raised Him up from the dead. Jesus rose on Easter morning to show that this Toxin, the Balm of Eternal Life, raises up the dead at the last days, at the coming of the Lord. No more guessing in It, It's proven. It works for all. The very One Who has the Toxin said, "Whosoever will, let him come."

L-29 It's not because there's not any Balm; it's because people refuse to take it. They go to church and set starchy. They join the church and put their names on the book. But when it comes to being borned again and receiving the Holy Ghost, they turn their back and laugh at It. That's the reason they can't believe in Divine healing. That's the reason they... "How can you get blood from a turnip?" said my old southern mammy. There's no blood in a turnip. You cannot believe, until you're borned of the Spirit of God.
Nicodemus asked, "How can a man do this?"
Jesus said, "Except a man be borned again, he cannot understand the Kingdom of God." Got to be born first.

L-30 The devil in the garden of Eden took a man's eye to show him, his intellectuals. God took his heart. A man goes to the great fine churches, and what he can see in the class. That's his eye. God chose his heart to make him believe things that he cannot see: "For faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." God took his heart; that's God's control room.
And He raised Jesus up to prove it. He sent Him and inoculated Him, and proved that through the earth. He went along preaching the Gospel. He foreseen visions.
When the first man was brought to Him, was Simon Peter. And when Peter came, Jesus looked at him; He was Inoculated and He said, "Your name is Simon, and your father's name is Jonas."
What happened? Peter was astonished. "How did He know who I was?" He was inoculated. He had the Balm of Eternal Life. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
