<TITLE>11. Par 101-110</TITLE>L-101   They're afraid of that new Birth. You know, any birth is a mess. I don't care what it is, if it's in a pig pen or a pink decorated hospital, it's a mess, and so is the new Birth. It'll make you do things that you didn't think you would do. It'll straighten you up. But before you can ever get right, you have to come through that mess. That's right. Amen. Before a seed can ever be born, it has to die and rot. And that's what's the matter with people today, they don't want to die and rot out to the world, so they can be born again of the Holy Ghost. See, that's right. They're afraid of that new Birth. They're--they're afraid.

L-102 It makes them do things that they don't want to do. It takes the popularity out of them. It takes the starch out of them. Oh, I tell you, I'm glad that there is inoculation, tonight, that'll take it out of you, brother, that will take the world out. It'll make people, brotherhood, associate together regardless of denominational differences. It'll--it'll make a pair of overalls put an arms around a tuxedo suit, and holler, "Brother, I'm glad to see you!" Amen. Sure! But you... They're afraid of that inoculation. Oh, my!

L-103 It's dangerous to refuse the doctor's medicine, you know, if you--if you're going to him. And it's afraid of... If you refuse the medicine, it's danger. You may die. But that, that, you'll just die physically, from not taking the doctor's medicine. But how much more dangerous is it to refuse God's inoculation from sin!

L-104   Here sometime ago, I had a little sick spell, and someone said to me, said, "Well, Billy," said, "did you keep your religion during your sickness?" Said, "You know, you believe in Divine healing; did you keep your religion?"

L-105 I said, "No, it kept me. Not the idea of me keeping it; it keeps me."

L-106 When the Blood of Jesus Christ was shed on Calvary, God made a preparation. When man first sinned, he left hisself a great chasm that he crossed, leaving hisself no way back. God, rich in mercy, accepted a substitute, and that was the blood of a lamb or a bullock, and that substitute lasted for years.

L-107   Moses stood under the inspiration of God, when sin was not even divorced, it was just simply covered by the blood of bulls and goats. And he had the--the glory of God upon him, until he could speak flies into existence, he could speak frogs into existence. Because, a word is a thought expressed, and God brought His thoughts to Moses, and Moses spoke them in words. And when the Word spoke, the whole world was framed by the Word of God.

L-108 There used to be a time when I'd get, in school, get some black ink on my--on my shirt. Mama used to take my shirt off, and say, "Hand it to me, quick, honey," and she would put some coal oil on it. And all it done was just scattered it, made a great big ring spot, where she put the coal oil on the ink. That's all she knowed about. That was the best she had.

L-109   But it's different today. They have manufactured a stuff called bleach. And you... It's a chemical that whenever that ink drops back into that Clorox, or bleach, whatever it is. When it strikes that, you cannot find that black no more, at all. What happens to it? Drop a drop of black ink in a tub of bleach, why, you don't have nothing. You can't find any fumes.

L-110 If I was a chemist, these--these words may not be just exactly true to science, but I'd say, what is it? "It's an H20, water, for one thing. Then there is a chemical in it, and made it black." There is only one original color, and that's white. All other colors are perversions from that. And now I say... And then if you would break it up from there, and maybe you would say, "Well, it turned into an acid when it hit the bleach. It turned to an acid." All right, then where did the acid go? "The acid went back..."
Now, it's coloring we're talking about in this, the coloring.
