<TITLE>17. Par 190-205</TITLE>L-190 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... -chanics, you potentially have the earnest, the waiting.

L-191 Now, when you get the Dynamics, you have been quickened from mortal to immortality. It makes the whole body come subject to the Word. It'll make you act different, look different, live different. It'll just make you different.

L-192   Now look. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... been quickened. "You who were once dead in sin and trespasses, and darkness, has He quickened." What by? "His Spirit that raised up Jesus," on Easter morning, "from the dead. And if It dwells in your mortal bodies," now watch, "It also quickens, brings to Life, makes it subject to the Word."

L-193 Now, how can you claim to have that Spirit, and throw yourself away from the Word? You're quickened by something else. For, It will quicken your mortal bodies to the Word. Sure, It will.

L-194 You can't run without It. You'll just sputter, if you don't believe all of It. If you have part gasoline and part water, you ain't going to go nowhere. See? You've got to take it one hundred percent, gasoline. If you don't, you backfire, and you ain't got no power. See? "But I--I believe this, but I don't believe That," pomp-pomp-pomp- pomp. You ain't going nowhere.

L-195 But, oh, when you take the fullness! Let it light up on that, every Word is Truth!

L-196   Then notice now, as we close, notice this. Notice, it's just like a little--a little seed laying in the ground.

L-197 Now, potentially, you are resurrected. You're resurrected when you receive the Holy Spirit in you. You're resurrected right then. Your body is potentially resurrected.

L-198 Look at a little seed. Plant it in the ground. It has to drink from His fountain, the waters that pours down. And as it drinks, it pushes up towards Him, coming more like the likeness of the seed that went into the ground. See?

L-199 The Church come that way, through justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, now in the blossom. See? The Spirit of God come through that.

L-200 And the spirit of the world has come through the antichrist, the same way, and now blossoming out in a great union of churches, see, the whole thing.

L-201   And the individual comes that way. Everything works on the same, on the same scale of God, 'cause He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Notice, on your way, growing to the fullness of the resurrection, led by the Spirit!

L-202 As the sun, s-u-n, pulls that little plant that's drinking from God's fountain, just keeps... See, it can only drink from one thing. You pour oil down on that little seed one time; kill it. That's right. You pour stagnated water, old water that ain't no good, it's contaminated, it'll stunt the growth. It won't bear fruit. Is that right? But you pour real good soft rain water, amen, no man-made chemicals in it, just let it come from the heavens above, and watch that little plant. There is no water will grow that like that rain water. You put chlorine and stuff in it, like you try to dose us up with, and, the first thing you know, it kills the plant.

L-203   That's what's the matter today. They try to give them waters from the denominational fountain, and it stunts the growth. See? But let him have the...
Come where the dewdrops of mercy are bright;
Shine all around me by day and by night,
Jesus, the Light of the world.
Then you got it, then.
We'll walk in the Light, that beautiful Light,
Comes where the dewdrops of mercy are bright;
Just shine all around me.

L-204 Take these man-made fountains away from me! No other fount I know; nothing but the Blood of Jesus! That's all the Fountain I want to know. Let the Word dwell in me, Lord; water It with Thy Spirit.

L-205   Notice, now, if that Spirit that raised up Jesus from the grave, dwells in you, you potentially have Life; led by the Spirit, to quicken the Word to you, to believe It. The little thing keeps pushing up as it grows.
