<TITLE>13. Par 134-142</TITLE>L-134 In Genesis 4:10, we find out that God said that--that Cain's... or, "Abel's blood spoke out from the earth." We find out in Hebrews 12, that, "The Blood of the covenant of Christ speaks better things than that of Abel." See? We find out, the Blood does speak, It speaks in your behalf. The Life that's in you speaks from the shed Blood. Amen. Oh, brother! I wish everybody could see that. See? If you can see what it is, it's the Life that's in you. See, that Blood is identifying you with It. It's the Token. The... What it is, the Blood was shed for you; you've accepted, and the Life has come into you. You have the Token, that's the Holy Spirit.

L-135   Then when we pray, we must have the Token to present with our prayers, as I said, and now believe for ourself and apply the Token to the whole family, like in Egypt, Jericho, or either in Acts 16:31. We find out that Paul told the Roman centurion, say, "Believe thou, and all thy house shall be saved." Apply It to your family. If you got an unsaved child, lay the Token right on top of him, say, "Lord God, I claim him." Stay right there. If you got a mother or a loved one that's lost, lay that Token on them, say, "Lord God, I claim it."

L-136 Move out, of all the worldly trash, out of your house, get ready for It. Burn up your shorts. Throw your card tables away. Get rid of your cigarettes. Dump your unbelief and your church papers in the trash can, where they belong. Amen. Then you're getting ready. Then what do? Then apply the Token in prayer, with real evidence, real faith. Apply It, apply It with confidence. When you apply the Token, know that you are cleaned up. "If our hearts condemn us not, then we have our request."

L-137 As long as you people are doing them things that's wrong, how you going to ask God to do anything for you when you know you're wrong? That's the reason we just stagger up and stagger back. I'm not saying this to hurt. I'm saying this to straighten out, to get things right. How you going to build it upon the chars of a Sodom and Gomorrah? Come back!

L-138   Associations and ministers have let the people do anything, and get by, and just put their name on a book and call them this, that, and the other, when it's a disgrace. And it's got so that faith is something that's not even... don't even very seldom ever know what even it is. They, they got a hope, but no faith.

L-139 You've got to get back, to, everything is combed out and clean. Then take your Token, that you know that it's Jesus Christ in you, then apply It. If something don't happen, there is something wrong; go back again, got the wrong thing in your hand. He promised it. He was the One who promised it. Apply It. Read Ephesians 2:12, sometime, if you if you wish to, and you'll find out there.

L-140   Notice in Hebrews 9:11, also. Paul said, "Serving the living God, with living oracles." Not saying just like I'd go up like a Hebrew used to, take his sacrifice, and come down the road, with a big fat bullock, and lay his hands upon it and identify himself, and shed the blood, go back justified. Jehovah required it. He did it. Then the next generation, maybe they got a little colder; somebody else, got a little colder. The first thing you know, it become a family tradition.

L-141 That's what pentecost has become to us, a family tradition. We get down, say, "Wasn't that television show pretty good tonight? Wonder what they did down at church? Lord Jesus, heal..." Oh, mercy! See? It's a family tradi-... "You know, I spoke in tongues the other day. I belong to this, or that, you know. Uh-huh." Oh, it's a family tradition!

L-142   You know what God said? God said, "Your fats and rams stink in my nose. That's right, your sacrifices has become a stink."
