<TITLE>12. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 Afraid of the new birth. It only makes you a different person. If you're not a different person, then you're not converted. You might be converted into a denomination. You might be converted into a different atmosphere or something, but when you're converted to God, then you live holy.
I believe in holiness. I can prove to you by the Bible, and I don't care what you do; you cannot offer God a gift without holy hands, He won't receive it.
The gifts in the Old Testament had to be sanctified at the altar. The priest before he could go in to offer it had to be anointed and sanctified, or the gift was refused. God will not accept the gift by unholy hands. That's right. It must come through holy hands or He won't accept it.
Afraid of the new birth. What makes it? 'Cause it's kindly messy to them, but it brings forth new life. I'm so glad.

L-45 You know there was a time when there wasn't any toxin on the earth for smallpox. Many died with smallpox, because there was no toxin. Diphtheria, no toxin, but now you can get inoculated from that. When an epidemic breaks out in the city, quickly you go down and get a smallpox vaccination or a diphtheria shot. They got toxin. I'm thankful for that. I'm glad of that. I'm glad we got it. And the Salk vaccine for little children, I thank the Lord for that. Pray that He will give us more and more.
I believe if we just warm up to God, there's things here for us. We was made out of the earth, you know. If we just warm up to Him, and pray to Him, and quit our wickedness and things, all these things would be found. That's right, but for you who believe, He's got a remedy beyond that. Certainly He has. Now, it's all made and ready for you.

L-46 There was a time when the toxin, there wasn't any; and many people died from the diseases. But now you can be inoculated. There was a time when God's balm wasn't perfect, because it was drawn from the veins of animals, and it only covered sin. It didn't divorce it, but there's no excuse now. God one day made a toxin.
I'm going to say something. He didn't try it on a guinea pig either. He gave it to His Son. He inoculated Him at the Jordan when the Holy Ghost came down upon Him. Every boy--every eye watched Him as He lived. He lived the life of God. He looked like God. He acted like God. He lived like God. He prayed like God. He healed like God. He raised the dead like God. He was God. God was... He was--He was inoculated from the things of the world, and they watched Him. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] In the hour of His death, the inoculation held.

L-47 When they knowed He was that Prophet, and a Roman soldier put a rag around his head, and closed his eyes, and took a stick and hit Him on the head and said, "Now, if you be a prophet, tell us who hit you, and we'll believe you." The inoculation held.
He don't mind the devil. "I do what the Father shows Me. I only do what the Father shows Me to do." Proved that the inoculation held.
When men, they reached over and got his face and jerked out big hands fulls of beard. Hocked, the big drunken spit and put it in His face, the inoculation held. When His own children cried for His Blood, the inoculation held. What did He say? "Father, forgive them. They know not what they do."
When He was riled upon, He riled not back. The inoculation held. All hell was looking to see if that would hold. He was making a way for you and I, making an example.
