<TITLE>15. Par 55-59</TITLE>L-55 What they're afraid of? New birth. That's the reason we got grandchildren in the church. Afraid of new birth, afraid of the Holy Ghost, afraid of the power of God, afraid it will--afraid it'll wash some of the makeup off of you or something. That's what's the matter. God send us an old time revival, bring forth the Holy Ghost again. There's plenty of it.
"Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physicians there?" Sure, there's physicians here, plenty of balm here too. "Then why is the daughter of My people not recovered?" It's because the people refuse it. Amen. That's it. They refuse to come together. They refuse to have a revival. That's what's the matter, selfishness and things taken it over. There's plenty of balm in Gilead; there's physicians here, but the people refuse it. That's what's the matter.

L-56 There was a time when we didn't have toxin for typhoid fever, a time when we didn't have toxin for--the--the Salk vaccine and stuff like that, and--but now we got it. That's exactly. We got it now. Thank God for it. There was a time that our toxin for salvation wasn't too good, 'cause if was lambs and things and goats. But now the toxin has been changed. Certainly.

L-57 When... Why do they find remedies for medicine? You know what they do? They study up. Put so much of--of this in, and so much of this in, enough antidote to--to--to kill the poison, and so much, and see the case of the patient and how it strong his... You never take medicine unless you ask a real doctor about it 'cause it'd kill you. And so then, so they--they find out.
And then, first thing you know, they squirt into a little guinea pig. If he survives it, then they give it to you. And sometimes... All human bodies are not made like guinea pigs, you know. That's the reason it kills some human beings. See? They give the little guinea pig the test, and if that little fellow makes it, then they give it to you. Well, that's the way they test medicine. You know that's the truth. They find a certain thing and give it to the guinea pig, and if he survives it, then they give it to you. And that's the reason they kill a lot of patients, is because that we're not all made like guinea pigs.

L-58 Well, let me tell you something. When God tested His toxin, He never got a guinea pig; He took Himself. Oh, God. When He was baptized there by John on the banks of the Jordan, and the inoculation come down from heaven, "This is My beloved Son in Whom I'm pleased to dwell in." They watched it, see if it'd hold. When they spit in His face, it held good. He was reviled, He reviled not back. When He died at Calvary, He prayed for His enemies. It held at Calvary. It held in death. It held on earth. It held everywhere. They put Him in the grave, and on Easter morning it held again. Amen.
Not a guinea pig, but a Son of God took the toxin. He took it Himself. Amen. Now, I'm not getting excited; I'm getting to feel religious. Yes, sir. Who took the toxin? Who tested it? Oh, hallelujah. He was the One Who took our sins and bore our sickness. He took the toxin on Himself, not on a guinea pig, prophet, or something another; He put it on Himself. Hallelujah. Yes, sir. "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed."

L-59 It held in the hour of death; it held in the cross; it held in Gethsemane, held under every temptation, everything else. The toxin held. Amen. God was going to try Eternal Life, and He put it in a human body of His own Son. Come in and dwelt in Him and the toxin held. When He rose up on Easter morning He broke the bands of death, hell, and the grave, and come forth. He appeared to the eleven as they set at meat and upbraided them because of the hardness of their heart and their unbelief, because they believed not them that seen Him after He had risen from the dead. Amen.
