<TITLE>14. Par 40-42</TITLE>L-40 But oh, brethren, don't never let that evil thing come on you men. No, sir, brother. Stick together like molasses on a cold morning; just really, really cling together, be thick. That's right. For... Yeah. "Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred mind is like to that above. Before our Father's throne, we pour our mutual prayers; (That's right.) our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares." That's right. That's the way we should be (Yes, certainly.), not greedy, selfish, indifferent, ungodly. The fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, longsuffering, meekness, gentleness, faith, patience. That's it; that's the fruit of the Spirit.
You know a tree--if a tree's got sycamore bark on it and apples growing on it, what is it? It's a apple tree. The life in the tree produces apples. No matter what your theology is, right or wrong, if you're bearing the wrong kind of fruits you're the wrong kind of tree, brother. Jesus said, "By their fruit you shall know them," not by their tree, but by their fruit. That's right. True.

L-41 Now, he saw them without Jesus. And then he begin to blow his poison breath at them; and a great storm swept down, and the little ship's just about to tip over, back and forth, up and down, back and forth. The little boat become waterlogged. The mast pole blowed down; the oars broke. That's about the crippled condition we are getting into. That's right--that's right. He begin to blow his breath, saying, "Whew, you belong to our organization, or you don't belong to anything. We're the ones that right. The rest of them is wrong. Segregate yourself." Oh, my. "Yeah, days of miracles is past. Aw, that Divine healing, there's nothing to it. Oh, there's no such a thing as this, that, or the other." Oh, my.
See, that's the poison breaths of Satan. Don't have nothing to do with him; he don't believe like we do. There's only one faith; that's the faith of God (That's right.), God's faith. Your human faith don't go very far. But God's faith in you.
Makes you love everybody,
Makes me love everybody.
That's right. That's what God's faith does to you: makes you have the same feeling that Jesus did, because the Spirit of Christ is in you.

L-42 All hopes was gone; they was just about ready to sink. Oh, they was about holding one another and saying, "Why did we go off without Him? Why didn't we constrain Him to go with us?" But you know what? He does things like that sometime to see what we'll do. I think He did it then. Instead of leaving them all together, you know what He done? He knowed that was going to happen. He knows this thing right now, that's going on now was going to happen. But you know what He done? He climbed the highest hill there was in Palestine, got up on top the hill so He could see all the way across the ocean to watch them. Oh.
When He died at Calvary, He climbed the ramparts of Calvary till He kept on climbing on that Easter morning, till He climbed beyond the moon, stars, sun, until He could see from eternity into eternity. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He's watching this meeting tonight. He wants to see what we'll do.
