<TITLE>05. Par 33-38</TITLE>L-33 Now, if He's never sealed you with the Holy Ghost yet, He's never received your faith in Him yet; you got some loose places. See? You might believe, yeah, but there's a lot of loose places. But when you get all the loose places packed right, then He seals you with the Holy Ghost until the day of your redemption. That's God's confirmation that He has received the faith that you professed in Him.
Abraham professed faith, and God said, "I'll give you a sign now that you--that--that I've received you." And He give him a sign of circumcision.
Now, when you receive Christ as personal Saviour, and believe on Him, and ask Him to clean your life up, and then when He comes back with the Holy Ghost and gives you the sign of the Holy Ghost, then you're sealed till your redemption.

L-36 This here boxcar, if it's loose... After it's all packed up together and they close that door and put a seal on it, and it's--it's sealed till its destination. The railroad company would penitentiary you for lifetime if you'd break that seal. They cannot be broke. It's sealed to its destination, not for everybody along track to pull it open, and look in it, and examine it, and look it over, and throw a few things out, and put some more things in. No, no.
This church will say, "Well, that's dogma. This is no good; that's no good." When God gives you the Holy Ghost, it's settled. You know where you stand; you know what happened; and you're sealed all the way till the day of your redemption, your destination of this earthly journey. Oh, my. That ought to make anybody just have faith and believe God, just rise up in the power in the Holy Spirit.

L-38 Now, these virgins that did not get the Holy Spirit, you remember, the only thing they lacked was oil in their lamps. Is that right? The Bible said the oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit; that's the reason we anoint the sick with oil and so forth, because it's a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Now, and then if--if the Holy Spirit did not come upon them, they did not have It... And when He come, they said... Now, to the virgins that did have the oil, said...
You see, they were back in the church age; there was some of them in there that was good people, but they wasn't in the star light, what I mean, with the wick dipped into the oil. See, and it was out. It was gone out; they'd separated themselves. Paul said in his day, "They separated themselves from us, seemingly not having the faith." See, and went away from them, "They went out from us because they wasn't of us." Now, it started back in that early Ephesian age and comes on down into this age today. Same thing, every one of those ages, what happened in them lapped over into these ages down here. We're going to get into that deeply in a little while.
