<TITLE>05. Par 42-51</TITLE>L-42 He said, "I'll forgive you for that," the Son of man. The sacrifice wasn't made. "But when the Holy Ghost is come to do the same thing, one word against It will never be forgiven in this world nor the world to come." It's got to be rejected, and then judgment strikes after that. See, the trouble is we...

L-43   Puts me in the mind of one time a story I read, of an old sailor coming from the sea, and a--a young English poet was going to the sea. And so the poet had wrote much about the sea, but he had never saw it, so he was on his road down. And the old salt said to him, with his stub pipe in his mouth, said, "Where goest thou, my good man?"

L-44 He said, "I am going down to the sea." He said, "I've never saw it. I've wrote about it, and what others said, but," said, "oh, I'm so thrilled to know I'm nearing the sea." He said, "Oh, to smell its salty brines! To see its big, white caps bursting on its top, and the blue skies reflecting itself, and hear the gulls as they're flying over, oh, I'm thrilled at the thought of seeing it!"

L-45 The old salt said, "I was born on it, sixty years ago, I don't see nothing so beautiful about it." See, he had seen so much of it till it become common to him.

L-46 Now that's what's the matter with the Pentecostal church today. It's seen so much of God, till God has become common to them. Don't never let it do it!

L-47   Here not long ago, in Louisville, Kentucky. Where I come from, Jeffersonville, Indiana, it's across the river from it. A lady was walking in a ten-cent store. And she (was) had a little boy on her arm, and she was going to the counters and getting hysterically. She would pick up something, show it to the little boy; he would just sit and stare. She would go to another counter, and pick up something show it to the little boy; he would just stare. And after a while, she picked up a little bell and begin to jingle it, and the little boy just stared. And she started screaming, and threw up her hands. And the people in the ten-cent store was watching her, so they went to her to find out what was wrong.

L-48 She said, "I've... My little boy," said, "he is only three years old." And said, "I... All at once, about a year ago, he take and just sit and stare in space." And said, "I--I took him to the doctor," and said, "and the doctor prescribed certain treatments and things." And said, "And the doctor told me, today, that he thought he was better. But," said, "he isn't better." Said, "I've shook everything before him, that ought to attract a little boy of his age, 'tention. Everything that would attract a little child of his age, I've shook it before him, and he just sit and stares in space." Said, "He is no better."

L-49 That's something like the Pentecostal church. God has shook every gift, in the Bible, before them, and they still sit and stare in space, just like it was something wrong. It's time that we woke up, friends, 'fore it gets too late. Remember, God don't shake those gifts unless He is trying to attract your attention.
God was bringing a nation out of a nation.

L-50   Just like He is doing now, going to bring a Bride out of a church, leaving the remnant of the woman's seed. The Elected will be brought out of the church. The church natural will stay here through the tribulation. That elected sometime is called "the chosen, elected, the remnant."

L-51 Let's watch how He did it then, because He never changes His way of doing things. God has one way of doing things, and that's the way He does it, and that's the right way, always. See how He did it, and the manner He did it in, and then we can get a glimpse of this now.
