<TITLE>14. Par 68-73</TITLE>L-68 As I said the other night, they've been... Russia has been boasting their great boasting, condition. "We put a man in space first." I different with that. We've had One in space for two thousand years. Amen. That's right. Yes, sir. An intercessor (yes, sir) that goes into heaven and back in a--just like a split second. Sure. We got a man in space. They haven't got nothing...?... All right.

L-69 We find He didn't have... He had to become a shelter for all of us. He gave up his Sonship between Him and the Father to be made sin for us. Did you know that? He knowed no sin; became sin for us. Our sins was placed upon Him. He gave up the Sonship to become sin; now He can make sinners sons. Amen. That's the good part. Take sinners and make sons, when He give up his Sonship to become sin. Now, He takes sinners and makes sons out of them. Amen. What a privilege. Yes, sir.
God won't be undersold on anything. No, sir. You can't do this, because God sees to it. His Son became sin offering that He might buy--now take sinners and make sons of God out of them. What a beautiful thing that is. Now. Yes, sir.

L-70 He--He gave his strength. He became weak that He might be our strength. He is our all-sufficient Strength. We don't need no other strength but the strength of the Lord Jesus. "He is my Strength from day to day. Without Him I would fall," said the poet. How wonderful.
What you forsake... What you receive for what you have forsook, my... Forsake the world. Forsake your own ideas. Forsake your doubts. Forsake your flusterations. Forsake it, and receive Him. Believe Him.
Say, "Now, is it so? Is the days of miracles past?" Forsake that kind of an idea. Believe it.

L-71 Somebody said, "Is Jesus really the Healer, or is this just a--a bunch of mental work-up that these people have?" [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Just forsake that thought one time. Now, how do you know whether it's going to be right or not? It's a promise--that's how you know.
You say, "Oh, I believe the Holy Ghost was for people way back a long time ago, just for the disciples only."
Oh, it cannot be. Then if it does, the Bible contradicts itself. Peter said on the day of Pentecost, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Then it is God's promise that we can, as many as God calls to the Holy Ghost, you got a right to come. Just forsake your ideas of it, and take God's determined Word of it.

L-72 You say, "Is there such a thing that people can speak in tongues, or is that just some foolishness, or some babbling they done?"
Just forsake your own idea. Jesus said this: "These signs shall follow them that believe. They shall speak with new tongues." The Bible said so. Yes, sir.
"Brother, could these signs that I see in the--in the meetings, could that be God?"
Certainly it could be.
"Well, I seen people that lived any kind of a life, and they went and prayed for the sick, and they got well. I..."
Jesus said, "No man can do a miracle in My Name, can right away speak lightly of Me." That's right. If the man's wrong, taking the gift of God and doing something wrong, God will deal with him. But it's God just the same. Sure it is. Because he's the hypocrite, it--it ought to make you shine good.

L-73 You can't have a... Only way you can have a real--a bogus dollar, it has to be made off of a real one. And everybody say, "I ain't going to church. I don't want to go to church. There's too many hypocrites." Why, you're smaller than they are. You're trying to hide behind them. If you can get behind them, you're smaller than them. That's right.
