<TITLE>16. Par 62-65</TITLE>L-62 Now, the great evangelist had a good thing, but I think he approached it wrong. He said, "The thing of it is; it's you lazy preachers set with your feet on the desk and don't go out and talk to the people. So there's where it lays."
I thought, "But Billy, what preacher laid his foot on the desk with that one of Paul's conversion?" It was because that today, we just stop at the waters of separation and don't take them into the fellowship with the Holy Ghost and the power of the Shekinah Glory. You get that man in that condition, he will burn a city down with the Gospel; nothing can stop him. He's got the Spirit of God upon him; he don't need nobody to coax him. God's right in him, just burning up the sin as he goes. He can't stand still. Why? He's entered into the fellowship by relationship.
Relationship: He's borned again; he's a new creature in Christ. He come through the waters of separation; he walked through the Blood of sanctification; he went into the fellowship of the Holy Ghost. Yes, sir, he was born, and he--into the fellowship; God's only provided approach. There's no other approach nowhere, no time, or any way, only through that.
As I said: Our denominations, I appreciate them. Our creeds, that's perfectly all right. They serve their purpose; but brother, they'll never take the place of the Blood of Jesus Christ. They can't, because that's God's only basis. We should be zealous of our denomination, trying to make it grow. That's fine; that's good; I appreciate it. But that'll never take the place of the Blood. No, sir.

L-63 Look at Daniel under the blood sacrifice. 'Fore he left Jerusalem, he purposed in his heart that he wouldn't defile himself with the king's meat. And when throwed into the lions' den, condemned by the federal government and throwed into the lions' den, he maintained his fellowship in the lions' den. Hallelujah! You're going to call me a holy-roller anyhow, so you just might as well get started.
Oh, brother, just the Blood is all I know: nothing but the Blood of Jesus.

L-64 Daniel in the presence of the lions maintained his fellowship. The Holy Spirit come right and lived down there with him, talked with him all night. The Hebrew children in the fiery furnace, hot fire that even killed the men that throwed them in--in the heat of the furnace, killed the men that throwed them in. But they maintained their fellowship.
The devil cannot put a trial upon you too hard, unless you'll maintain that fellowship if you've come God's provided way of approach. You're a son of God. The world's burnt out of you; you've entered into the Shekinah Glory; the Spirit of God is in your heart.

L-65 Like little old Stephen... When they throwed him out there in the street, picked up them big rocks... And he'd preached to them the power of the Holy Spirit. He said... At the end, he said, "You stiff necks, uncircumcised of heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do you."
Oh, my, Whew! Said his face shined like an Angel. I don't believe it shined like one of those lights. An angel's face wouldn't shine like that; an angel's a messenger. But what made it shine? He knowed what he was talking about. A Angel knows what he's talking about. And a man that's borned of the Spirit of God knows what he's talking about, if he's ever entered into the Shi--Shekinah Glory. Amen.
Don't get scared at that. "Amen" means "So be it." And that--that's just what I believe in. "Hallelujah" means "Praise our God," and He's worthy of all praises. Yes... entered into there...
