<TITLE>39. Par 327-335</TITLE>L-327 Now, here's what to make it. Now, to show where this borderline, where this... I'm trying to bring this virgin up to you (You see?), so you'll--you'll understand. Now, in the borderline believer, watch what taken place when they come to Kadesh-barnea, the children of Israel. I just took it back and forth in Genesis, and back and forth to Exodus, and everywhere else, trying to type it for you (You see?), so that the class won't miss it.

L-328 Now, when these people in--in this in the exodus, when they come to Kadesh-barnea... Kadesh-barnea was the judgment seat of the world at that time. There's where Israel received her judgment seat. That they had just... It was just eleven days from the mount where they received the commandments till they hit the judgment, eleven day's journey by the sea coast, the Bible said. Eleven day's journey, and they came to Kadesh and there they were judged. After God would've took them over in about four days, they went plumb back over here in the wilderness there and wandered around; and got the--the commandments and things like that, and come back, and how, what taken place. Then they come over here... And eleven days from there, they come to their judgment at Kadesh-barnea.

L-329 What happened? He taken one out of each tribe and said, "Go over and spy out the land and see what kind of a land it is." Well, they all went over and looked.
Two of them went in and got a great big bunch of grapes. Oh, a great big bunch; it taken two men to pack out.
Now, what did they do when they come back and seen what kind of a land it was? They seen the--the--the Amorites and the--and the different ones in there, and they said, "Why, they're giants." (That was, 'course, the sons of Cain that had finally got up there in that--that country.) He said, "They're--they're--they're giants." And said, "We are--we're--we're not able to--to take it. Their--their--their--their lands are all fenced in, and great big walls. And, why, we look like grasshoppers, side of them."

L-332 What had they done? Why, they had--they had absolutely seen the land. They tasted the fruit of it. See, Caleb and Joshua went over and got the brou--got the evidence and brought it back, had it on their shoulder. They tasted the fruit. That's right. They never been over there, but Caleb and Joshua went over, brought the evidence back. Caleb and Joshua said, "We are able to take it." See? Why? Because Caleb and Joshua was looking to the Word.
God said, "The land is yours. It's all full of Amorites, and the Hivites, and all kind of "lites" over there," but said, "it's yours. And every place your foot sets upon, I'll give it to you." That's right. "Just keep walking (See?); it's yours."
But they said, "Oh, no, we couldn't have a revival like that. Oh... Oh... Why, you know what? The archbishop, or the bishop, or the presbyters, or someone come down and kick us all out." Huh. Go ahead. That's right. We'll have it.

L-335 Now, and then these two came back there and said, "We're more than able to take it, for God said so. Let's go get it."
But, see, these borderline believers, they come up far enough to--to taste it. "It tastes fine, yes. But, oh, we can't do it."
Now, what is that? Here's the believer today. Now, watch this guy right here. God gives him a call. Uh-huh. All right. Now, he gets saved. His mother washes over a board and sends him away to some college to get his education how to preach. Well, he gets out there; he still thinks he... Every time he sees women that's immorally dressed, that just tears him up; every time he--he smells cigarettes, he just can't keep from smoking one. He knows that's wrong. He don't want to do that. So he said, "Lord, sanctify me, take that stuff away from me."
God said, "All right. I'll do that for you, son, take it all away from you."
