<TITLE>08. Par 35-39</TITLE>L-35 Don't blame the doctor. Don't blame the medicine. It's you to blame. If the doctor's got the remedy, and he's got plenty of it, he invites you to come and you won't come, then it's not the doctor's fault. Neither is it the medicine's fault. It's your fault, because you won't take the medicine. That's right.
And people setting in the churches die in the pew without knowing God, without receiving the Holy Ghost, because they think they'll have to give up some of the things of the world. They'd rather belong to a church that's got a higher name, or what they think, a little more prestige.
Do you ever realize that God's way is a few goes that way, and they're despised and rejected because they're not of the world. They are of God: a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices, that is the fruits of the lips giving praise unto God. Amen.

L-36 Doctor's medicines... You know there used to have a time they didn't have any toxin for such as smallpox. Thousands died yearly with smallpox. They didn't have a diphtheria toxin, and thousands died every year with toxin--or without having any toxin they died with diphtheria. But now they got toxin. They got inoculation for those things.
And how does a doctor ever get a hold of these medicines anyhow? What, how do the--how do they ever do it? You know what they do? They put a lot of stuff together: some poison, and then some antidote, mix it together till they mix up a formula. And then they get a--get a guinea pig, and they inject this medicine into the guinea pig. If he survives it, then they give it to you. And then... And if it... See, it's to kill the disease that's in your body: so much of poison, so much to upset that poison. Too much poison would kill you; too much antidote wouldn't do you any good, the medicine wouldn't. It's got to be a balanced formula.

L-37 And some medicines from the doctor, he can give it... For instance, like penicillin, one of the great discoveries that... They think it's a discovery. Why, when I was in South Africa I seen a native there, and when he would--they get a sore on their leg, or something or another. The sore gets old; they find an old orange, laying under the tree somewhere, that's molded. And they rub that orange in there. Been doing it for hundreds and hundreds of years, and they get well. What is it? Penicillin. Sure. So they think they're smart. The Hottentot in Africa knowed that a thousand years ago. God done told him how to take care of himself. Then we think that it's something smart that we got.
Now, penicillin: sometimes an overshot will kill a patient and some of them it helps it. There's a question there. They claim that nowadays...

L-38 'Course, number one killer, they say, is heart trouble. No. I different from that. Number one killer isn't heart trouble. Number one killer is sin trouble. That's the killer. That's the thing. It's sin; that's the killer, not heart trouble.
So many people say, "I just got to sin. I just have to smoke." Women say, "I just got to cut my hair. I--I--I can't get any other clothes. I just have to wear what they got." You know what's the matter? They're making excuses. They haven't tried God's toxin yet. If they ever get that, they'd be inoculated from such stuff. That's right. Yes. It's because that they haven't tried God's toxin. They refuse to take it.

L-39 For when the Spirit of God is in you, it lines up with the Word of God. And if it denies the Word of God, then it isn't--you haven't got the right shot yet; that's all. You're not inoculated. Sin still lays at the door: unbelief in the Word. So it takes the toxin of God to kill sin, and sin is number one killer. Yes, it is. It kills, and it kills to the uttermost. So we know that it's a--that it's a--the sin that does the killing. So it's a toxin; the people just refuse to take it. They don't like it. They don't like the thought of new birth.
