<TITLE>06. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 How easy they had forgotten, that when the plagues was in Egypt, that they were protected. When there was flies all over everything, there wasn't a fly around them. When lice filled all the beds, all the clothing, and everything, there wasn't one bit of it on them. Frogs was in the cupboards and everything else, all over the rest of the unbelievers, but they had been protected, God showing His mercy.
Notice, and when that final and great night came, God said, "This is My final blow at Egypt. But before I can strike this blow, I've got to bring My children to protection."
And there was a sacrificial lamb killed, and the blood was put on the post and the lintels of the door, and the congregation went under the blood. Remember, that was the last plague that struck Egypt. And the last plague that's striking the church today is the same as that was: a spiritual death. Because as God led them literally, He leads us spiritually. And the last blow at the--the enemy is death is striking, and all from under the blood, is disfellowshiped by the Holy Spirit.

L-23 Now, therefore we have a spiritual death in the churches. That's the last sign before the hour of deliverance, is the sp--a spiritual death. Did not Jesus say the same thing? "They'd be heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, despisers of those that are good, having a form of godliness, but would deny the power thereof: from such turn away," the hour that we are now living, when the church world has become plagued and dying of spiritual death.
But God protected them, and they had forgotten it. How quickly our Pentecostal believers are forgetting that too, that you were saved by His grace and filled with His Spirit. In this great tremendous dying time to the church, don't forget that, that the God that give you the Holy Spirit to live by and to make this journey, is with you every step of the way. We just so quickly forget it--too bad.

L-24 Now, how that God brought them out, how that in that great night He passed over them--the great passover--and how He had done these great things for them. Now... And then how they had begin to grumble after they'd got out. They'd got out to the--to the Dead Sea. God opened up a way when there was no other way; God became their Way. That's the way I found it in my life; when it'd get to a place where there is no way, then Jesus makes a way where there is no way to be made. "I am the Way. I'll... am the Truth and the Life."
Now, we find that God made a way when there was no way and delivered them. Now, I hope you got on your spiritual jackets. Listen; and the uncircumcised (meaning without the Holy Ghost) the uncircumcised... How many knows that the Holy Spirit is circumcision? If you've ever read your Bible, you'd know it. Circum...
Stephen said, in my message this morning, told them priests and them, "You uncircumcised in the heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost like your fathers did." The Holy Ghost circumcises the heart.

L-25 And now, in the journey God promised to take care of them, and He did take care of them. And He never failed. And then, when the unbelievers tried to impersonate them, they was drowned. And you seen yourself: People come in and try to impersonate or act like they got the Holy Ghost. We find out it isn't long till they're on the rubbish heap. Exactly right. You cannot impersonate it; it's got to be a genuine something you've got yourself. You cannot come in and act like you're a Christian; you've got to be one. And the only way you can be one is by birth.
We've heard people come in and speak with tongues. First thing you know, find them out here on the rubbish heap. They didn't get the Holy Ghost; they got a confusion of language. They never... The Holy Spirit makes a man what he is from his heart. He has godly love.
