<TITLE>11. Par 39-43</TITLE>L-39 And I will say today... They say, "Number one killer is heart disease." I don't believe number one killer's heart disease. I believe number one killer is sin disease. That's the killer--that unbelief. That's what's killing people. We got the best doctors we ever had, the best medicine we ever had, certainly the best hospitals we ever had, the best medicines to practice with we ever had; and we got more sickness than we ever had because we got more unbelief than we ever had. That's exactly true. So it isn't... Number one killer isn't heart trouble; it's sin trouble is number one killer.

L-40 Now we find out [Brother Branham clears his throat--Ed.] (pardon me)... That's right. But God's toxin, there's one time that God's toxin didn't work too good, because it was on lambs. You'd go to... A sinner went to the altar, and went up to the priest, and he took this little lamb. And he confessed his sins, and the lamb was killed; and the blood bathed his hands, and he offered up his prayers for forgiveness.
But while he was holding on to that lamb, and his hands being bathed with his blood and its little wool, and it kicking, dying; the worshiper realized that that lamb was taking his place--that he should've died that death, but the lamb took his place.

L-41 But what did he do? When that blood cell was broke, the spirit that was in that blood cell, which is the life, it could not come back to the believer, the worshiper. Why? Because it was the life of an animal. So the life of an animal would not coincide with the life of a human. So therefore, if he'd committed adultery, he went out with the same desire he had when he come in. If he went out and stole, he went out with the same desire, because that... He had only his conscience that he had done what was right, but the same desire was there.
But it isn't so with this toxin we have today. When a man by faith lays his hands on Jesus Christ [Brother Branham clears his throat--Ed.] (pardon me), when a man by faith places his hands upon Jesus Christ, and feels the pains of Calvary, and sees what He did to save your soul, brother, "the worshiper once purged has no more conscience of sin." It's taken away from him. He's a new creature.

L-42 What happens to the believer? God Almighty come down from heaven, the greatest thing that there is, that covered all space and time. He never had a beginning, and He never did begin, and He never will end. But when He come down from the largest thing there was, and become the smallest thing that there is--a little germ of Life that was conceived in the womb of a woman called Mary...
And because sin broke that blood cell and let out that Spirit of God that fell on the Day of Pentecost, now the worshiper, when he puts his hand upon this Lamb and receives forgiveness of his sins, the Life that was in that Lamb (which is God's own Life), comes back to the believer, and he becomes a son of God--sons and daughters of God. Then he's in the family of God. He's a believer. Goes out with no more conscience or desire to sin. Hebrews tells us that he doesn't desire any more sin because he's become a son of God.

L-43 Now when the people today... The reason that they don't want this, as I said Sunday, it's because that it makes them act a little different than what they're accustomed to acting. They go... come to a Pentecostal church. they say, "Well, we hear them people sing..."
Like I was watching this boy here awhile ago. My, he got so wrapped up there he didn't know where he was at. I was watching his feet. He had one foot wrapped around the other one. Looked to me like he had tied himself in so many knots it'd take five hours to get him out of it. But God must have tied him up there, and he was right out on his feet again.
So I thought, "Oh, my! How I like to be lost in the Spirit like that, and worship in the Power and praises of God until you're carried into a dimension that you know nothing about." I like that, carried away in the Spirit of God.
