<TITLE>10. Par 31-33</TITLE>L-31 You don't reason a thing, because remember: the only way that you can accept God is by faith, not by reasons, not by understanding, not able to explain. You don't explain nothing; you believe something, not what you feel. Jesus never said, "Did you feel it?" He said, "Did you believe it?" That's right. You just believe what God says.
I can't explain to you how that... how could a... The greatest miracle that I can think of is a man who... Just like, take a pig; and tell that pig, "You know, you're no more a pig; you're a lamb," and he becomes a lamb. See? That'd be hard to believe. Why, it's the same thing takes place when you become converted from a sinner to a Christian.
See, it changes your own opinions. It changes your own will. It changes everything that's in you; and it brings you into another Life and gives you another Spirit that bears forth another record. See? Then your old life has to die, and a new one has to be borned again. And then (See?), you're no more the creature you was at all. That's when you become behind the Blood, fortified with the Word. Don't try to explain nothing; just believe it and go on.
"Lord, I believe. Saviour, raise my faith in Thee till it can move a mountain," See? "Lord, I believe, for all my doubts are buried in the fountain."

L-32 What if Abraham had been asked? The doctors would come, said, "Abraham, you're a hundred years old; your wife is ninety. How you going to have a baby?"
Now, Abraham say, "Well, now, I'll tell you, it's like this. You see, there's going to be a time that we're going to drink a certain thing, and this is going to do this, and this kind of change is going..." Abraham couldn't explain that. Abraham would've said something like, "I don't know. I don't know no more about it than you know. The only thing that I'm resting on is He said we would have it, and I'm looking for it." Said, "Yes, sir. That's all there is." Takes... just take it, believe it. God said so and that--that settles the whole thing, because God said it.

L-33 Now, we find out, Eve losing the battle, she got from behind the Word, raised up on top of the trench and say, "You don't say so. Is that the truth?" She's lost right there.
"Well, you know, we don't teach that over at our church."
"We believe that what He said here..."
"Yeah, but listen dear, you know better than that. Your own common sense would tell you that that's not right. Why, I heard them people just cry and cry. What they crying about?" See? "Now, own common sense would show you that they're just worked up. They're emotional," See? If you stop to listen to that, you've lost the battle.
If they say, "Oh, now wait a minute. Your doctor said that--that you had TB and it's--it's in an advanced stage. There's no way for ever you to get over that TB. The doctor said there wasn't." Now, don't common sense say that? Well, if you're going to rely upon reasonings, you might as well make ready to die. But if you're going to what the Lord gave the promise and you can believe it, it changes the whole program.
