<TITLE>02. Par 8-17</TITLE>L-8   We wonder why the revival is not going on right now, why we don't see the enthusiasm with the people. I don't know why. But let's just think, what if it's like this. Maybe there's a little boy in here, tonight, or a little girl was born over in Seattle, Washington. Now, that Book holds her name. He come to redeem whose name was on that Book. Redeem means "bring back from where it fell from." And in the human race, she was fell. And she can't accept It now; she's too young. So the church will slug right along, just play along, will have meetings, and so forth, till that last person is brought in, then that Book is closed, there's no more added. Then it's all over.

L-9 Until, when to that time will be, none of us know. But let's just keep doing all that we can, to His glory, until that time is over. We don't know who that person is. It may already be in, we're just waiting His Coming. We do not know. And it'll never be revealed to man, the time of His Coming, because not even the Angels of Heaven know when it's going to be. But we're just looking for it at any time, and waiting, watching for His Coming.

L-10   Now, you have to have faith in something. No matter what it is, you got to place your faith somewhere. Your faith, your faith might be in the... in a textbook. It might be in your creed. If that's your--if that's your faith, is in your creed, then that's--that's where your faith lays.

L-11 Say, for instance, a--a certain denomination, say, "We got a textbook." You believe that. "Well, anything outside of that, you can't believe it, you see, because that's what you believe in, is that textbook of that denomination. And it might be that you believe in certain thing, you can have your choice. That's what you, we're free American, to be.

L-12 But, to me, my faith is in the Word of God, what God has said to be the Truth. All other things that's contrary to That, as though it is not so. See? I don't say it isn't so, but, to me, if it's contrary to This, it isn't so. And we find today that so many people base their faith upon something, and upon some ism, or some happening, or some something. But, to me, it's got to be the Word of God, and the Word that He has promised for this day.

L-13   Not the law. The law was for the Jew, years ago. Today we're in the realms of grace, and we're--we're living above the law. A man that's--that's living in grace has no law. There is no law to grace.

L-14 How can you condemn me for running a stop light here, which the city has done give me a right to run any stop light I wish, too? See? You couldn't. There's no law to condemn me.

L-15 So, as long as I'm in Christ, I'm free from the law. See? I'm above the law because I'm in His grace. He's put that confidence in me, that I won't do anything that's wrong, or He wouldn't have give me that grace. That's what He does to you the same way. We're in His grace.
Now, my subject, tonight.

L-16   Don't forget tomorrow night, now. We're going to try to stay just maybe a tiny bit longer. I want to get here a little earlier tomorrow night, because I want... Tomorrow night is kind of a night we give for salvation, just to make stress on an altar call, stress on those to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And one night, or one day, before I leave, I'd like to speak on the... a subject of the Blood, The Token, the Blood that's supposed to be upon the door, and if the Lord willing.

L-17 Now, tonight. Each night, I been late each night. I'll try my very best, tonight, to get out on time. I realize that we haven't got very much time left, and I'm trying to redeem what time we have, so you bear with me. The... I'll pray that God will get every soul that's under here, that's savable, may He save it. I don't know how He does it. And it's our business to send the Word, or to preach the Word. And let the... It is a seed. And when that seed goes to growing, it'll produce just exactly what the promise is.
