“I had a young girls, and the young boys to tell me, and old people, “I want to live right, but I just can’t keep from drinking. I just can’t keep from lusting. I just can’t keep away from these places.” There’s just one thing, you haven’t tried the Balm. When you take this Balm of Gilead, God’s balm, it inoculates you from all sin and things of the world. It puts such a love of God in your heart, until the things of the world become dead to you. Certainly. It’s the great Balm of Gilead. It’s the Balm of God’s healing Balm.
You say, “I—I wish I could.” Well, you can, there’s plenty of it. We’ve got—the heavens is full of it. We got preachers across the land preaching it. We’ve got people across the land being inoculated by it, and sin problem leaves them, because they’ve received God’s inoculation. That sinners, drunkards, gamblers, gangsters, bootleggers, prostitutes, all of them, come to Calvary and are—are inoculated with the Balm of God’s glory, and His power, and sin. question is settled forever”
