<TITLE>10. Par 45-50</TITLE>L-45 Reminds me of an infidel one time was holding a debate, and--and he said, "There is no such a thing as God."
A little old country boy with a overall jacket on, his hair hanging down his face, walked up, begin to peel on an apple.
The infidel said, "Sap, what do you want?"
Said, "I want to ask you a question."
Said, "Well, what is it?"
He cored the apple and took a bite and begin to eat and said, "Is that apple sour or sweet?"
And the infidel said, "I don't know because I'm not eating it."
He said, "That's just what I was thinking." And I said... And the people laughed the infidel out of the platform.
Why? Because he had never tasted, he had never tried it. He'd never took the toxin (Hallelujah.) of the power of God to inoculate you from any unbelief of God's Word.

L-46 The real Holy Spirit will punctuate every sentence with an "amen." It won't say, "The days of miracles is past. There's no such as this, there's no such as that. Well, only reason said we shouldn't do it this way, we shouldn't do it that way."
What God says, the Holy Spirit says "amen." Every sentence, every word, every verse, in the Bible is punctuated with an "amen." Yes, sir.

L-47 The new birth brings a mess, but it brings new life with it. That's right. A plant, anything, a seed has to rot to bring the new life out of it. A sinner has to die and rot to his own ideas. His own life has to rot that the new life can grow out of it. It's a mess, but it's a glorious mess. It brings new life.
That's what the church needs today, but they're bypassing it with dogmas and so forth, to try to escape the thoughts of dying to themselves. They want to live to themselves. He that lives to himself, lives for himself and the devil. He that denies himself shall find his life in Christ and he will be a new creature.

L-48 Now, we find out how they find these toxins. They take them, as I was saying, and they mix up a formula, the science do, and give it to a guinea pig. Now, everybody's not natured like a guinea pig. So it'll kill some, help the others. We know that.
But you know when... There was a time that God didn't have too good a toxin. His toxin was by sheep and goats. But one time God was going to perfect His Toxin. So He never tried to give it to a guinea pig; He gave it to Himself. He took the toxin Himself. That's why that Christ, the anointed, God was made flesh in order to take the toxin into His own body.
Any good doctor will try the toxin on himself, when nobody else will do it. And there was nobody else that could do it but God. So He came down, Jehovah, and was made flesh and dwelled among us and took the toxin Himself.

L-49 On the Jordan when He was standing there, John bore record. Said, "I seen the Spirit of God like a dove descending upon Him." And He received the toxin and the inoculation from sin and death: borned of a woman, and received the toxin. And they watched Him to see what would happen. And they noticed Him in His trial. They noticed Him when He came in the face of dispute; He always held to the Father's Word... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-50 "... but you know surely God wouldn't do a thing like that," he reasoned it with Eve. But when he come against Christ, he hit against that hundred-thousand volt wire. The feathers flew when he come with his reasoning, because He met him right back with "THUS SAITH THE LORD."
Said, "If you're the Son of God and you're hungry, why don't you turn these stones to bread and eat? (reasoning) You could do it."
Sure He could, but He come back, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word, proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'"
