<TITLE>13. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 The old worshippers in the Old Testament brought a lamb, put their hands upon it. They took a hook and cut it's little throat. And it kicking, and bleating, and dying, and the blood spraying all over the worshipper's hand, he knowed that that lamb was dying in his place.
But he went back out with the same desire he had when he come in. Because the life was in that blood cell of the lamb was a animal life that had not a soul. Therefore, it could not come back upon the worshipper. But now, the worshipper once purged with the Blood of Christ has no more conscience or no more desire of sin.
When a man, by faith comes to that fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins, by faith, lays his hands upon the feet of the Son of God and looks yonder at Calvary, and know all the suffering that He done, He done it for Him... Then that Blood Cell was broke on Calvary, was not an animal, neither was it a man. It was God's own Blood and It comes back and gives new birth.

L-45 That Spirit that comes out of there, comes into the human spirit and makes him a son or daughter of God. Amen. That's the new birth. That's the Gospel if I know anything about it.
The cell that was in there God created Himself with His own Self. He come down a little Baby, Jehovah, and was born in a stable over a manure, and--and it ought to be striking to the people: little Jehovah laying crying in a stable. Oh, my. And we think we're somebody, because... Oh, my.
Jehovah playing like a Child, Jehovah working like a man, Jehovah dying like a man, but He was Jehovah when He raised up again, He proved He was Jehovah. Sure He was. Yes, sir. Yes.
John said, "I knowed that that was Him. I seen the things that He done. I know that nothing but Jehovah could do that." Said, "I'm satisfied, brethren. I'll put my testimony in."

L-46 You know they was having a testimony meeting out here on the sea. That's a good place to have one. Everybody... You know when everybody's testifying, why, the Lord comes down and blesses them usually, you know.
So they was having a testimony meeting, while they were waiting, coasting. I just wish we could have one tonight. We will give a testimony meeting here.
Let's listen to theirs for a few minutes, as they're coasting. And you, and your little bark, as you're sailing life's solemn sea, testify, sing, or pray, and like bread upon the water it will return to you someday. Speak a little word for Jesus. Do something. Testify, sing, or pray, yes, do something for Him while we're sailing over life's solemn main.
"A forlorn and ship wrecked brother, in seeing shall take heart again," said Longfellow. Yes. While we're sailing life's solemn main, let's give our testimony. Let's do something, that we'll leave footprints on the sands of time. Footprints that perhaps another. Yes, a forlorn and ship wrecked brother, seeing what we did, will take heart again, make another try. He seen where somebody was pouring it out. He made a try and stood on the promises of Christ and become a soldier of the cross. Let's make footprints.

L-47 Footprints is possession. God told Joshua everywhere the soles of your feet sets, I'll give it to you. Footprints meant possession. Go on and get it; it's yours. Every promise in the Book, everything God ever promised is yours.
Now, He just ain't going to sweep out the house and say, "Go take it." He said, "I've give you Palestine." But they had to fight every inch of the road. That's right. And every inch of the... Every time God makes a promise, you'll fight every inch of the road. Just take the sword of the Spirit and the Word and cut every devil and unbelief away from you. Cut loose the shore lines that hold you bound to the shore. "Launch out into the deep and let down for the draught. Amen.
I'm not "amening" myself. But "Amen" means, "So be it." And I--I--I believe it. Yes, sir.
