<TITLE>28. Par 137-141</TITLE>L-137   Before there is a creation, there has to be a Creator. "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness." See? There is something in us. You raised your hand a while ago, "I want more of God." See? There is something needy.
And if you love the world, going that way, the things of the world, the world's travel you'll go, and in the fall you'll be. See? Come out. You're sons and daughters of a King, the King. Be lady and gentleman. Walk like Christians. Live like Christians. Act like Christians. Remember, I'll meet you at the Judgment Bar with these remarks. See?

L-138 Look in your looking glass, tonight, and see. "Which way am I headed? Is Jesus preparing a place for me, a body? That body is perfect. That body walks orderly. It's a son or a daughter before God. And I'm birth pains in here, to be born into that body there. If I still love the world, it shows me that (I'm not) I have no body there. I'm just a church member. I wasn't the germ of God. I am not. He is not my Father."

L-139   He said, "If you cannot stand chastisement," that's what you're getting now, "then you're bastard children, and not the children of God." Isn't that right? [Congregation says, "Right."--Ed.] Does the Bible say that? ["Amen."]
If you cannot stand the chastisement of God, when you see the Scripture lining you up, and you say, "Oh, I don't want to hear that Stuff. I'm--I'm a Christian. I do a..." All right. Go ahead. See? It's one sure evidence that you're not a child of God.
But a real child of God is hungering and thirsting. Why? If there's something in your heart, telling you you want it, and it needs there, it shows there's something pulsating, trying to pull you there. There's a body there, that this one is a type of here. What are you using this one for, to glorify the Devil and the world, and fashions and things? Are you looking towards Heaven, there's something up there, you're glorifying God with your life?
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it wasn't so, I would have told you. And I'll go and prepare a place for you.
... and come again, to receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

L-140 Things That Are To Be. These things that are now, are only potential, calling for the things that is to be.
Let us pray.

L-141   Think seriously. Will you, dear Christian friends? Think real seriously, just a moment. Let's just be real quiet just for a moment. Let the Holy Spirit speak.
Now, the Lord Jesus sent me to you Pentecostal people, long ago. Here is one of your boys that's come up to be your pastor, said, "Resulted from the ministry." He seen the Lord Jesus open the blinded eyes; "make," he said, "the waterheads shrink right up." I still have healing services. But I realize that I have prayed for many people that were very sick. They were healed. The Lord answered prayer, and healed the sick. But, you know, some of those people, were healed, has already died. And no matter how sick you are, if you're healed, you're going to die, anyhow.
But that soul, my precious brother, that soul, my precious sister, won't you think about it now? That's Eternal. If that love of God is not in there, there is nothing pulling, won't you ask God, "O God, start me over, new, tonight. I love You, Lord. I want to love You. And something in my heart tells me that I must live closer to You. I want to come, right now, Lord, and do that"? If that person or persons are in this building or out of this building, I ask you, as a servant of Christ, in the Name of Jesus Christ, will you just, with your head bowed, raise up your hand to God and say this much, "God, draw me nearer, nearer, dear God. I want to line with everything that You have in Your Word"? Raise your hands. Now just be real honest. Just think.
