<TITLE>17. Par 163-173</TITLE>L-163 If you got a ticket and go out here to the airplane, and say, "I want to go to New York City."
"Ticket? Token?"

L-164 You say, "Well, I--I--I'll tell you, I haven't got it. I'm a pretty good sort of a guy. I'll pay you someday." No, sir, you have the token, you have to have it in your hand. It has to be displayed. It has to be. Oh!

L-165 You see what I mean? You've got to have It! You ain't got to just think so; it's got to be identified Token. Right. It entitles you, when you pay the... when you accept the price that's been paid. Yes, sir.

L-166   Paul tells us, talking about speaking of blood, Paul tells us that the blood speaks. You believe the blood speaks? In Genesis 4:1, or 4:10, God told Cain, He said, "Where is your brother?" He said, "His blood, his--his voice... The blood of his, the voice of his blood calls out against you."

L-167 Now we also find in Hebrews, the 12th chapter and 24th verse, that the New Testament, the Blood speaks better things. The Blood is speaking. Then the Blood has got a Voice. And the Voice of the Blood is the Word. Hallelujah. That's what makes it whether it's right or wrong. The--the Word is identified by the Voice of the Blood. The Voice of the Blood is the Holy Ghost. That brings Life. It is Life, and It brings Life to the Word and quickens It. Amen, amen, amen.

L-168   Sure, the Blood speaks, It speaks a better thing. The Old Testament, the blood spoke of guilt. In the New Testament, It speaks of redemption. In the Old Testament, it spoke of death and sorrow. In the New Testament, It speaks of resurrection and Life. It speaks of healing. It speaks of joy. It speaks of Power. It speaks of Life. It speaks of Heaven. And that same Blood that was shed upon the ground, that called out after his dead brother, or called out after his brother that had killed him. The Blood of Jesus Christ covers all of our sins, and speaks peace and resurrection, and Power and Life, and healing. And all the redemptive blessings that the Blood was shed for, It speaks for us. Certainly, the Blood speaks. Oh, my!

L-169   We must believe for ourself, like they did down there in Egypt, and also for the house; like they did in Egypt and Jericho, and so forth. And we find out, I got a Scripture wrote here, called Acts 16:31, where that the Roman centurion was to take his own life, and he was going to stab hisself to death, and Paul told him to "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thy and thy house shall be saved." It's got to be a household. What made so many little kids... What makes so many women on the street? What makes so much juvenile delinquency? Because we're not able to get our household under the Blood.

L-170   Some people said, "Well, I belong to church. Mother went up there, and I--I--I--I was dedicated there, as a baby."

L-171 You must display the Token. Yes, sir. Move out all the worldly trash, all the things of the world, 'cause you can't love the things of the world, all your unbelief in God's Word. Remember, He promised these things in the last days. Anything in your life, that-that's against That, move it out, and get ready and bring the Token in. Then apply the Token, in prayer, with consecration, and be convinced and concerned about it.

L-172   If we could read here, Ephesians 2:12, it would be startling to us. Notice, "serve the living God," with living signs, living ordinances. Hebrews 9:11-14, tells us the same. And we--we don't serve dead articles (we don't) or oracle. We serve the living God, with the living signs.

L-173 Not, "I go to church. I joined. I know the creed. I--I know the catechism." That's dead forms.
