<TITLE>13. Par 61-65</TITLE>L-61 "I'm going to give you an eternal prescription for the inoculation. If you want to receive this balm, this balm of Gilead, this inoculation from sin and death; you receive this prescription." Any good doctor that measures out his medicine, measures it correctly. I'll tell you, brother, he told them. He said, "Now..."
Today they've substituted things for that prescription. They try to say shake hands, sprinkle a little bit, or something like that. But Peter said, "Repent every one of you, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall be inoculated. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Certainly.

L-62 If a doctor writes a prescription... What's the matter today? If that doctor writes a prescription for that disease, that was to be an eternal. How far? To your children. They say it ended with the apostles. It did not. The doctor, Simon Peter, said, "It's for you, and for your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." This is their inoculation.
What's the matter then? We see in our churches bobbed-haired women, wearing shorts, paint, makeup. We see men with wishbones instead of backbones. We see preachers in the pulpit with not enough power to--to break an egg, and then call themselves preachers. The thing of it is, brother, they haven't received the inoculation. That's all there is to it.

L-63 You know you take a doctor's formula, and you go to messing up out of it, you'll kill your patient. That's right. But what's our trouble is some quack druggist out of some seminary has tried to mix this formula with shaking hands, and more bunch of tommyrot. That's the reason they've got a dead church that we've got today. It's killed because they didn't follow the formula of the prescription.
Say, "It don't make no difference."
Paul said it did. He said, "If an angel from heaven preaches any other Gospel to you, let him be accursed." They got dead church members because they're trying to fool with that prescription: shake hands, sprinkle, all other kind of forms, and everything else. Follow exactly what the prescription says. If you take some of the antidote out, you'll kill the patient. If you put too much antidote in, the--the killer in there won't kill the disease. Take it just the way it's wrote. Amen. Hallelujah. I believe it's the truth with all my heart. Certainly.

L-64 "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Then why is the daughter of My people in the anemic condition it is tonight?" Why is it the church is in the condition it's in tonight? Because they've fooled with the prescription. Yes, there's balm in Gilead. Hallelujah. There's a balm there. Christ is there. He is the Balm. Be injected with His Life.
He's here now. He is moving among us. We see Him working, performing signs and wonders among us. There's the balm in Gilead. And there's doctors here. Amen. We got doctors. Then what's the matter? It's you patients that won't come up and face the fact of it, and follow the formula.

L-65 Maybe I've said enough. May the Holy Ghost say the rest of it. "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Then why is My church in the condition it's in tonight?" There's something wrong somewhere. That's right. I think we have took a lot of dogma instead of taking the prescription: quack seminaries putting out quack prescriptions that's contrary to the original prescription.
Go back! That's the way to get it. That's the eternal prescription; not a shake hand, and say a creed, and a thing like this. "Repent and be baptized, every one of you," he said, "in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call: all nations, all...?... all...?..."
