<TITLE>13. Par 40-42</TITLE>L-40 Well, Lot, being greedy, showed what he was. He looked down there and he saw the great things already built up. He didn't want to walk with God alone; he wanted to get mixed up with the world.
That's just what the church did. Instead of walking on with God, it had to pull itself off and mix it up with the world. See where we're at tonight? See where the church is? That's exactly right, friend. Lot was down there, greedy, and went down in Sodom, and kept leaning his tent that way, 'cause perhaps Mrs. Lot wanted them kind of dresses that they were wearing down in Sodom, and she wanted to be like that. And Lot wanted to become a great businessman, be influenced in the city, because he thought maybe be could make a few extra dollars or something. And we find out he got a good position down there, but he was backslid. He was backslid. Now, that's the church carnal.
Went down into Sodom. And he got down there and become mixed up with the world, where perverts and everything else was. And he took his daughters down there, and he took all of his children, his wife and everything, and put them right in the midst of a bunch like that.

L-41 And when he separated himself (because that was in him at the beginning), and when he fully separated himself, then God blessed Abraham. He said, "Abraham, you took the way with the Lord's despised few. You separated yourself to stay out here on the barren lands. And now, I'll bless you, because I'll give you every bit of this land, to you and your seed after you. I'll give it all to you." Now, He said, "Just rise up and look east, north, west, and south, and walk throughout the land." Amen. I like that. "Walk around. It all belongs to you."
Oh, I like that. It's just like a great big arcade that we're baptized into; for by one Spirit we're all baptized into one body. And in that body is the Christ Jesus, and by one Spirit we're baptized into that body and become members of that body. There you are.
See, now, like if a... It's a great arcade. Now, a lot of people just come in, say, "Well, I'll accept Jesus as my Saviour. And I don't want Him to send me to hell, but I--I'll accept Him as my Saviour. I'll stand right in here." But that's not the way to be. If you own a big arcade, go in and see what you got.

L-42 Now, to you Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians, if you don't believe the Holy Ghost is right, if you don't believe Divine healing's right, why don't you look through the arcade? Look around; pull out this drawer. If somebody give me a big house, I'd go around and see what I owned. I'm nosy; I like to get around and see what belongs to me.
Well, when I come into Christ, I wanted to find out what I had. Amen. I found out Divine healing was mine, joy was mine, rivers flowing of Life Eternal, power, Eternal Life, grace; all these things belonged to me. Something looked a little high, I got me a ladder and climbed up and pulled up and look at it. That's right. If I see something that I can't reach, I just keep on praying on Jacob's ladder till I get up there and look at it. Yes, Lord.
I see where He give visions. "The works that I do shall you also. The things that I do, you'll do it. I'll be with you. Ask what you will, I'll give it to you." That's all mine. I'm an heir (Amen.), a heir. Through the death of Jesus Christ I become an heir to everything, every promise. I'm an heir, so I got a right to look around and see what I heired.
