<TITLE>18. Par 55-57</TITLE>L-55 Aren't you glad to be under this fellowship? Aren't you glad you heard the Word? Faith cometh by hearing, taking simple faith and applying it, taking the cedar wood of the cross, and being sanctified from all the things of the world, and then entering in by the scarlet, the dipped wool into the dye, that dyed the wool red with a animal's blood. And this way the wool, our own selves being dyed... Oh, my.
I was a leper one time, just as spotted with sin as I could be, but He taken me to the vat of His own Blood, and He dyed me in there. And then I'm on the inside of the tabernacle of God now, with the grace under fellowship.
Once I'd stand on the street... My father a bootlegger and everything, nobody... No clothes to wear, and hair hanging down my neck, and no shoes on, my feet out on the ground, and people wouldn't even talk to me, even a young man, because of family--had such an awful back name: shooting, fighting, killing, and everything. Somebody'd be talking to me, they'd walk away, see somebody else come up, 'cause they didn't want to be standing, talking to me, to be met on the street. I kept holding on. "There's something greater than this. There's something somewhere."
I went to the vat and was dyed in the Blood of the Lord Jesus. And the other day my wife said, when I go home, I have to slip off somewhere and go out in the woods to keep people away, and get a few minutes of rest. What did it? Personality? I have none. What? Education? I have none. What did it? The precious Blood of Jesus Christ that's cleansed me from sin, and sanctified me, dyed my soul into His goodness and His mercy. And now, I'm under the fellowship with tens of millions of the saints of God around the world. That's the real true fellowship. I'm so glad I'm one of them. Aren't you?

L-56 Going to sing you a song. I know it'll shock you, but I'm going to sing you one. Don't know whether I can or not but I'm going to try it.
 They were gathered in the upper room,
 All praying in His name,
 They were baptized with the Holy Ghost,
 And pow'r for service came;
 Now what He did for them that day
 He will do for you the same,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
 I'm one of them, I'm one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them; (Hallelujah,)
 One of them, I'm one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
 Come, my brother, seek this blessing
 That will cleanse your heart from sin,
 That will start the joy-bells ringing
 And will keep the your soul on flame;
 Oh, it's burning now within my heart,
 Oh, glory to His name,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.

L-57 Aren't you glad this morning, you're one of them. I remember walking down the streets... You know my little story about the colored woman in Memphis, that time. How that I was going down the street, humming that song and she was standing there, waiting for me. The Lord healed her boy. Yes, sir.
 Oh, these people may not learn to be (not educated),
 Or boast of worldly fame,
 They have all received their Pentecost,
 Through faith in Jesus' name;
 And they're telling now, both far and wide,
 His power is yet the same,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
Oh, my. How do they get it? Through the fellowship of the Blood. I come in from a alley rat to be your brother, to fellowship with you in the good things of God under the shed Blood, for the fellowship of the saints worship with God. Let us bow our heads.
