The Change Of The Body

You know I'm asked a lot of questions. I'm always asked questions no matter where I go. And I try to answer them the best that I know how. I was asked some questions last night. I was asked some questions today. People are real hungry. You can't imagine how needy people are. We was setting the other day, we was setting up in the restaurant and was talking to some of them about the things of God and world evangelism and I noticed somebody with their back turned toward us with their back turned to us over in another booth and I caught their spirit and it was a woman. It was a woman and I caught her spirit and she was listening to what we had to say. You know she was in there before we got there, but I noticed that she kept setting and listening and so finally she got up to leave and she walked off like she was going out and then all of a sudden she whirled around and she come back to the table and she said, I just want to say that what you all are doing is, said, it's wonderful. The way that you're reaching out all over the world. And it was just so flabbergasting to her until she just couldn't keep her composure over it, she just had to come back and say something. And then she informed us that they were doing a work, she was involved in some kind of work and it's a work where they help the needy, some kind of an organization. And again today we was there sitting in a restaurant and talking again, I was talking to Gracie and Myron and to my wife. And I caught a man and a woman's spirit and maybe a couple of them there I could tell that they were listening. And I just went on talking like I always do about the wonderful things of God in trying to answer the questions that Myron and Gracie was asking. A number of them pertains to the millennium. And I could tell the more I talked the more I caught the man's spirit that was listening. And finally after a long while of talking I heard somebody speaking. He had gotten up from the table, walked around where I was and said, I don't know who you are but he told me what the things had done to him that I was speaking of. He told me of course he used some, what had have been truth it would have been some real flattery you know, as concerning the wisdom of God or whatever, but nevertheless, it was the real truth from his heart. And he was so thrilled over the things that he had heard, hungry, he said, I've just been listening to what you said over there.

And then a lot of times we're not wise. I tell the brethren and different ones from time the sisters there, you know we're not wise because there's people that's listening all the time. They're always listening to what you say. And a lot of times we go into public places and we just talk and we talk and my we just pour out words and we say things that are so wild and about one another and about the work of God and the things of God that when we get through the listening ears they don't know anything to do but criticize this out here and put it down, because we have told them everything from our gossiping to what we think about the whole situation and we're never aware that their blood will be on our hand in the day of judgment. It's like it was said of those that returned from Canaan, the Lord said, Because you've discouraged the hearts of my people I won't let you go into Canaan. They had went over and seen the good things, but they couldn't testify about anything but the giants and opposition. But I try as much as I can unless I stumble and let Satan catch me unaware, I try to watch wherever I'm at, whatever I say, and I know that I'm edifying somebody if they never comment, if they never say anything, I can pick up their spirit. Many times I do this and I can tell that they're listening. And I try to order my steps a right and my words a right so that I might not have their blood on my hands in the day of the judgment. But anyway it's such a wonderful thing to be able to share with people.

Back again tonight to read the Word, to talk about the Word and to grow in the grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. This is the thing that is so important. We come together to learn about the Scripture. We come together to understand the ways of God and to enjoy the things of God. On a Sunday morning on a Sunday night, Wednesday night, Friday nights, then of course the brethren get together on Monday night and they have a good talk. And through the day they're working and they still have a good talk. But I think of how wonderful this is. I was just expressing some things to Brother Stan and a few of the brethren. It's well said that eye hath not seen and ear hath not heard, neither has it entered into the heart of men kind at any time these wonderful things that God hath prepared for them that love him, but having made it revelation unto us by his spirit, we that are willing to learn, it's joy unspeakable and it's full of glory. I have no way to express to you. It's beyond human utterance. I have no way to express it to you the serene joy, the state of ecstasy and the greatness as to perfect peace and satisfaction as to a paradise of living. I have no way to express to you this feeling, this exuberance, this exhilaration that I experience in God. Truthfully it's joy unspeakable and full of glory and without words of explanation, but I thank the Lord for his wonderful opportunity to serve him. To me I wouldn't have nothing else. I wouldn't have nothing else.

Chapter 15 First Corinthians it says: (I Corinthians Chapter 15:1-58) Now I want you to notice something here. First of all it says that death is an enemy. That's one thing that we need to know. It is an enemy. And it's the last enemy that shall be destroyed. It is an enemy. And in Adam all die because of that enemy, as to disobedience it destroyed faith and death came in that the just shall live by faith. And then it tells us here that all flesh is not the same flesh, but there are, or there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beast, another of fishes and another of birds. And Paul is trying to get over a thought here that there is a difference between the flesh of a human being, that you should not eat and the flesh of animals that are given to you to eat. Even though people have known to have eaten the flesh of human beings, because they were exiled and they had to eat one another to survive. But that is, when I say one another I'm speaking of eating the dead, ones that are already died. Now it says here that there is a difference between the flesh of animals and the flesh of human beings. Now is Paul trying to get it over to us that there is a difference between animals and human beings, or is he trying to use this for an illustration to get over to us that there is more than one kind of flesh as concerning human bodies. It's very obvious that what he's trying to do is get over to us that there is more than one kind of flesh of human bodies. And he brings this out by saying, there is a natural body and there is a spiritual body. And it is sown a natural body but in the resurrection it is resurrected as a spiritual body. So he is saying that you can be human flesh as from your first birth, born of the man Adam unto death, or you can be a spiritual birth in Christ Jesus as bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. And there is a world of difference in being flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone. Whereas someone would say, Well do you believe that Jesus was flesh? Brother Pike, after that he resurrected from the grave, sown in weakness, raised in power, sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body, do you believe that he was flesh? Very obviously he was. Because when he appeared to Thomas and the others and they said, A spirit, he said, Feel of me. A spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see me have. And besides that if it had not been the body of Jesus as to flesh and bones coming up out of the grave, it would not have been a true resurrection. If he had been put in the grave as one thing and brought up as another thing, that could not have been a true resurrection. So then it was very obvious that that was the very body that had received the nails and that had been abused at the hands of sinners. So he said, The first man of the earth is earthy. So when you're born into the world as the first man of the earth you're earthy. This is why I tell you that you need to be born again. If you've never been born again, then are ye earthy. And if ye are earthy, then are ye a living soul and you are subject to death because the soul that sinneth shall surely die. And as long as you are a soul, then you can die as a living soul. But when you are born again it says, and the second man is the Lord from heaven as to the body and bone of his flesh of his bone. And it is the Lord from heaven. And in that we have borne the image of the earthly as Adam as to the bastard child we will bear the image of the heavenly. As to the heavenly image which is the sons of God. Peter used the terms by saying: We don't desire to put this tabernacle off. But we desire that this tabernacle be changed or that is mortality be swallowed up by immortality, or corruption by incorruption. And he uses the terms, Paul uses the terms here that having borne the earthly, we're going to bear the heavenly image. And Peter said, If this tabernacle as to the earthly be dissolved, then we have another one eternal in the heavens not made with hands which is the body and bone of the Lord Jesus, the second man Adam. He said, This I say brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. So then we see the mystery where it said, We shall not all sleep but shall all be changed. That is to say, There's got to come a time of change. You have already been changed in your spirit, in your inner man. In your spirit you have already been changed. And you are angelic and you are in the kingdom of God. You have been translated into the marvelous kingdom of God which means your spirit has been translated into the Christ spirit; and you are already eternal and you cannot sin and you cannot die and you're no longer under the law of sin, but under the law of liberty. But as to the outer person this outer person has not been changed. It remains the same. It has not been changed and it must be changed at the Thessalonian coming of the Lord, the last trump, the outer man will be changed. Until that time from Calvary as to the first time that you believe and you're born again, all the way over unto the coming of the Lord, God never sees the body of that death that you're spirit is dwelling in as to your understanding. So then in his understanding your spirit is now in heaven. It is now released from the body. And the body is now dead in his sight and it's buried in the name of Jesus and he never sees it again. And your angel at death went away, the spirit leaves the body at death and it went away and it's now dwelling in heaven. In heaven ye are as the angels, equal to the angels and you cannot die. So then your angel went away. Like Rhoda said, Peter's at the gate. They said, It must be his angel. So then we see that the body is nothing. It's nothing. Without the spirit it is dead. It is nothing. It profiteth nothing. It cannot do anything. When it dies they put it in a casket. It lays still in the casket because it cannot do anything, which means that your spirit is to blame for every misdemeanor of life. Your spirit is to blame for every wrong you ever done, every thought that you ever thought wrong, your spirit, your angelic being is to blame. And someday the body releasing it at death it will go back to God the Great Spirit that gave it in that he's the Father of spirits. And it will answer to God just like the angels that rebelled against God in the beginning that were cast out into the darkness. And when your spirit goes back to God, it must give an account to God for every deed that it ever done while it tabernacled in this body in the earth. And Paul will judge that spirit by his Word as in that day through God. For the Bible said, And God shall judge by this teachings of mine even the intents the thoughts of men's hearts even the secret thoughts in that day. So then we see that the house of God is a place of judgment and that it is God speaking to his people. And according to your faith, and of course when I say your faith your deeds from day to day show what you believe and about what the preacher preached and what God said to you. So then according to your deeds so ye are judged. And we who have already confessed in the house of God, laid our body down to death, considering ourselves to be dead unto sin and unto the world by the body of Jesus Christ that's buried, that's gone and now we're resurrected from the dead. We're alive unto newness of life. And we have already accounted for our sins. Some men's sins go before them as confessed sins which this means your sins and my sins. Some men's sins follow after them which means unconfessed sins. And so then we are dead to the things of the world. Our spirit, our angel went back to God who gave it, and now we're in the presence of God, free from sin, and the body of this death of sin has been buried and sin has been taken away. And the Messiah made an end of sin for all of them that believe on him, and they shall never come into condemnation. He forgave all of their trespasses. I am the God that healeth thee. I forgive all of thy sins and I heal all of thy diseases. So then we see that we are a new creature; and we are waiting as in this heavenly condition like Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham, we're in the paradise of God and we're waiting for the return as to when our spirit, our angel will return into our body. And at that time it will be a changed body. It will be a changed body. It will be a glorified body, for it will change in a moment when he appears. And that quick we have entered back into the body with this glory because it's entering back into the body after having been with him as an angelic being, it is entering back into this body that our glory so great as of him, that it changes our human person. Our body that we might be seen then truly as (End of Tape 1 Side 1) bone and flesh of his flesh as to say that by his fore-knowledge he elected us unto grace and he doesn't see us in our degenerated state of life. He looks across the valley of all of this evil and he looks over here at the resurrection as to the change in Thessalonians to where he sees us as bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. And never again does he see us from this untimely birth as to say being born of Adam as the earthly man. So we see what a great thing God has done for us all by his own righteousness and by his great, wonderful wisdom in having elected us unto grace and give us this wonderful, eternal life. So we see this and Paul being made a minister, he said a steward of the mysteries, the revelation having been given to him, he unveiled it to the Gentile church, because to the Gentile church it belonged. It did not belong to the Jews. Because the Jews will come in at the resurrection of the dead, the casting away of the Jews be the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of the Jews be but life from the dead, Paul said? So then we know that when the Jews went out it indicated the body of this death being gone and they become a scapegoat, went through the Dark Age, all the sorrows and then at the end of the trail, down here at the Gentile's ending of day, they come back into view, which means then that our spirit is ready to return into our bodies as to the change. For if the receiving of the Jews is to be the resurrection from the dead then that means that we which are alive and remain not exceeding the dead in Christ, they raise first, but immediately at that we are changed because as their spirit enters back into their body, then it is the resurrection. And in the resurrection our spirit enters back into our body and we're changed into that marvelous image of Almighty God. Well there's a lot we could say about that and we could go on and on. I especially would like to go on and on you know just speaking of the details of these things as to the revelation that's hid within the Word here. But at this change, so when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. Oh death, where is thy sting? See once I'm changed into that celestial body, sown in weakness, I've been sown in weakness, planted in his likeness, raised in power which means the change as to coming forth with him, when he comes back I'll come forth with him. Then I can say to death, you don't have any power over me. You don't have any power over me because what Christ did for me at Calvary will then be made manifest in my mortal genes. And that is to say to outshine the noonday sun, to have this eternal strength, this eternal blessing, this eternal joy, this eternal glory and to be eternally alive forevermore. Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin. So I say, where is sin in that God made an end of it for me, and I haven't been taken by this since my experience at Calvary to my new birth? I haven't sinned since that time. So then where is the strength of sin? There is no strength to sin to the Christian as to the inner man because the law is gone. And sin gets it's strength by the law. So there is no strength to sin. So I say, Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? In that the grave has no victory without a dead person? The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God he's given us the victory, even the victory that overcometh the world even your faith in what he hath wrought for us. So then we do have the God image and we are the God image. And right now we are the sons of God, but it doth not appear what we shall be like because we are at this time buried from God in that the spirit at death went back to God who gave it, that is in the heaven. But the body of this death remained in this earth because Jesus planted it in the water in his name. So your body being in the earth, numbered with them that are without, they that are in trespasses and sin are dead while they live; so then you are dead out in the sight of God, but your angelic being which is the spirit is in the presence of God. That's why the Bible said, Great is the mystery of godliness. Paul said, Great is the mystery of godliness. And I'm made a steward of the mysteries. And especially when he said, I've received the revelation of Jesus Christ. So then we spoke to you today about the unveiled, the unveiled light. What is the unveiled light? It is the glory of God. See from glory to glory on the inside, Oh the light of the glory of his unveiled face. And this is the light that is changing me. Oh it's changing me. The light of the glory of the unveiled face. Beholding as it would be a face in a glass or our face within a mirror, we're looking right into the face of Jesus Christ. For now we see him face to face, not through a glass darkly as to a human concept, as the Word of the law as the intellectual concept of God in the Old Testament, but rather as a revelated light. I'm beholding him as a revelated light. I'm beholding the Word as spirit. It is now unveiled. Because as long as it was in Moses it was veiled. Because the Holy Spirit was not in Moses as to the gift, so his body could not be reckoned as being dead. And when Jesus came the God that was in Jesus rent that veil of flesh, separated the body from the spirit. It was rent in two or in twain. The spirit from the body or the Lord from the Christ, and the Christ rent itself loose from that, and when that body that is to say within his flesh having rent the veil, when that body was rent from the spirit, it was folded up and laid away to end the body of this death, the bastard child image. And then that was the Moses as to the law, it was folded up laid away. Could not get over the Jordan though he had the law, but he couldn't get over the Jordan though he had the law, but he couldn't get over the Jordan because the law had never been fulfilled unto righteousness. So then they without us could not be made perfect. And without perfectness there could not be the resurrection unto life. So then he was on the other side. And the Bible said, And these rest within their lot. And they waited until the coming of us, or they waited until the coming of the Lord. So on this side it is heaven. On this side where Joshua left Moses and went on in to show the Revelation of Jesus Christ, because when Joshua went over the Jordan which indicates the spirit, coming out of the carnal mind of death and getting over, conquering death, then when Joshua went in he commanded the sun to stand still. And so the night didn't come. The veil was now gone. It stayed gone until he won the battle. So then you see that we are those that are seeing face to face and not through a glass darkly. And we are the ones that's on the perfect side, on the heavenly side in heaven with God. Jesus said, the son of man who is in heaven. And so we see that we're bone of his bone and we're flesh of his flesh and we are they that dwell in heaven. Whereas he said, You that dwell in heaven rejoice forevermore. So then we find that we are they that dwell in heaven; and we've been translated in our spirit into the wonderful kingdom of God; and our flesh and body has nothing to do with it, because our flesh and body is beyond Calvary on the other side, where we were smitten by God as the body of Jesus, folded up and laid away, that our spirit might be released with Christ as to the Joshua side of it, as to the new birth or the children going in while the elders as to the body of this death die and are planted on the other side of Calvary, not being able to escape death. So then we find that as to in the heart of the earth and then the resurrection as to show us the two thousand years that is to follow at Calvary, that humanity going into the grave, we'll come back out of the grave at the end of those two days, or as to the three nights the three days as to the heart of the earth to come back out to bring in the third day as to the millennium, which is the time when nothing shall harm in all of my holy mountain, saith the Lord; or that is to say as he was in the earth, as Jonah was in the belly of the well, as Joseph was down in the heart of the earth, all these things while Jesus was down there he was taking care of all of our problems, preaching to the souls in prison, to bring forth them that had died under the law, or them that was under the big great, brazen altar that was crying out: How long oh God? How long oh God? And the Bible says that he gave them raiment as to a change, saying, just a few days as to when your brethren also shall be killed as you are, or that is to say that tribulation is coming and there's going to be another slaughter, another encounter of death; and death is not yet conquered as to the Jews because they have not yet got the veil of death away from their eyes; and to them the veil is not yet been rent. They're still blinded in part; and the part that they're blinded to is the part on this side of Calvary which is the unveiled light. And the part that they see as the part of Moses on the other side of Calvary is that which is the veiled light as to the glass darkly being over their face. Well it's so wonderful to know that we have an unction to know all things; and that now we have the manifold wisdom of God in our earthen vessel. And now is made known to the church the manifold wisdom of God because the veil is now taken away and the true light now shines; and the day star which is that true light is dawning within my heart and coming forth within my being to make me immortal. I will be immortal, incorruptible, changed; and this change is already taking place in God by the fore-knowledge. So I'm already what I am by the grace of God as to a finished product. And I'm just traveling through this little baby like stage of development, and going through these things, though I be lord of all, I differ nothing from a child, until the time of the Bar Mitzvah as to say the change is coming. And then we're going to rule with a rod of iron. So I'm happy because the flesh profiteth nothing. I've nothing to do with the flesh as to the bastard child image. That's gone. That's put away. That's not me anymore. That was, but no more. I was dead as to the body of that death, but now I'm free from that entombment. And the old heart of stone is gone as to the law of condemnation and death, but now the stone is rolled away and I have a heart of flesh. Even Christ within my heart and that flesh is the flesh of Christ Jesus. So he has written his laws upon the table of my heart. His love constraineth me and I walk in His light; and I rejoice in his glory because he hath made me to be what he desired me to be in the beloved which is his son, Jesus Christ. And today it's no longer I that liveth, but it's Christ that liveth within me; and the life I now live I live by the son of God which is eternal life that he hath given me. So then I'm bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. This makes me rejoice even the more because I've won out. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even my faith; and I don't have anything else to do except when you say the songwriter says, Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! All ye upright in heart, for it is becoming to the upright that they should praise God and praise is becoming to them. So I see that Paul is telling me that there is a natural body. There is a spiritual body and I have borne the earthly image of the fallen Adam unto death. And now I am alive forevermore; and I'm resurrected from the death; and I'm now to bear the image of the heavenly, for in my Father's house or in the body of Jesus which is my Father's house, in that my Father is a spirit and the fullness of him dwelt within the tabernacle of the body of Jesus. Within the body of Jesus there are many members, or within my Father's house there are many mansions. And he said, I go to prepare a place for you. So he came into my heart. He came to prepare a place by making my body the membership of the body of bone of bone and flesh of his flesh. So the mansion that I have will be as to the angelic inner dwelling being that's called my angel, which angel will dwell in my new body which will be my mansion in heaven. So then as to thirty-fold or sixty-fold or hundred-fold or to whatever measure you want to have, going on to a full measure and to a full reward, submitting your body fully to God that the spirit may have freedom on the inside of you to make your mansion beautiful. We sing that song, I've got a mansion over the hilltop. So then I have his body. I have his bone. I have his flesh and he hath went into the heavenly parts into me into my being and working through my spirit as to what I will submit to him to make this member as to the mansion that is in my Father's house. So it's so beautiful as to what he's done for us; and now having borne the image of the earthly so shall I bear the image of the heavenly. Having borne the image of the earthly tabernacle that was with Moses in the wilderness as to my intellectual concept of God, now I bear the heavenly image as to being the temple of the living God in that I am now part of the God body. And if I'm part of the God body, then that means that he and I are one. Jesus said, My Father and I are one. Because it was God the Great Eternal Spirit that created anew Jesus Christ's body to make a second man Adam or to bring the beginning of the creation of God. In that Adam fell and could not be the beginning of the creation of God as to the resurrection, then he brought forth a second man Adam by creating the blood cell in the womb of Mary and brought forth a new man, thus making peace. And he made within himself twain both old and new, folded up the old as to the image of the earthly, folded it up and laid it away and went through the transitional change down into hell, paid the price for me, preached to the souls in prison, was resurrected on the third day in a new image, which image that we bear as to bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. Coming forth in a new form the Bible said, which is the form of the Jesus as to the new body. And today we are in that likeness in the mind of Christ. So let us rejoice forevermore and let us go on from victory to victory, from hilltop to hilltop, just gliding over the valleys, because he hath already went through the valley for us and we're from mountain top to mountain top in our victory. So I praise the Lord for the understanding God, and the revealed light of this unveiled glory that is for you and I in this day. For this is the glory that is changing me. It's that great emanating light that emanates from the person of our Heavenly Father, that creates, that makes anew; and whereas he said, I make all things new. And behold, old things have passed from. He said, And I make a new heaven, and I make a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. And ye are a new creature. And the whole world is new. And the vanity of mind is passed away. And the sin is passed away; and the body of that beastly death is not gone; and the corruption of that interruption of vanity of mind is no more. For the day that she ate thereof as to the sins of Eve, then her mind became vanity. All is vanity, vanity, and vexation of spirit. And they were cut off and lost from God. And being lost from God their seed has been in vanity and all has been vanity and all that you are is vanity. All that you follow is vanity; everywhere you go it is vanity. And you are gullibly choking on the vanities of life. But I thank God that we that are past from the world of vanity into the world of spirit, that we are living in these heavenly places and we do not have eyes that are impure as to look upon the vanities of life. So these things that we have are eternal. These things that we have are eternal and very few people have these things. Like I said, Today, you know like tonight we may have a hundred people, two hundred people whatever we have that come here, you know some of them are in the vanity of their minds. They look around. I see them looking around. I see them yawning. I see them running off with the baby to the nursery. I see like a young lady just went off a while ago, she was setting there, her mind was on some kind of boy or something over here and she's married, and she didn't know that I was noticing it; but that old lust that eats like a canker worm and instead of having her mind on us here as to the ministering of the Word, she had her mind on her lust. And if her husband don't do a little praying, he's going to have some problems. Because he's had a lot of problems with this problem in his life as to his own body. And she's gradually working herself around to create a problem for him. He'd better check up and see what's going on. Every time you see the wife run off with the baby and she's got to go up to the nursery or she's got to go down to the fellowship room, don't let her deceive you. That's not what it is. See if she had her mind on God, it's like Abraham that laid his son on the altar for God, if she had her mind on God, if she was pressed as to a necessity of going and coming or you, or if the baby really needed attention, it wouldn't take her long and she would see that that was taken care of and she'd be right back. And then another thing we have set nurseries back here and put girls to watch after those children to where they can hear the gospel over the speakers, and the mothers can go right on listening to the gospel. But they look for occasion and they seek occasion, see because this is not given except to the elect and to those that are prepared for the next world. And they that do not have this mind they do not have this hunger. They do not have this thirst. They do not have this desire. It doesn't matter what you present to them, they don't have that desire. They can't muster up that desire. That hunger and their thirst because it isn't there. They can eat. They can drink, they can rebel, they can buy, they can sell, they can spend money, they can do whatever they want to and it catches their attention. But when it comes to heavenly, holy, godly things, there is nothing on the inside of them that hungers and thirsts for that. They're very natural, very carnal. And they don't have that inward thing that you have to have as to the spirit of God that hungers and thirsts to do the will of God, and hungers and thirsts after this wonderful knowledge as the way Paul did, counting everything as dung that was behind him, saying, I'm determined to know nothing but Christ and him crucified. See the resurrection of the dead; or that is to say, when you get this you forget about the wife. When you get this you forget about the baby. When you get this you forget about sons and daughters. You forget about money. You forget about prestige. You forget about business. You begin to change all over and become a new creature. And you forget everything that you had ambition to. Your body, your face, your thoughts, everything, until every thought is the thoughts of the Lord Jesus Christ as to the mind of God. And the body until it is a living sacrifice from morning until night unto God for his desire, his thoughts and his service. So then that is what I mean as to him being in our heart and he's preparing us a mansion. I don't know what he's preparing for you as to your mansion because I don't know what kind of material you give him, you're giving to him. I try to search my own life to find out if I'm giving to him sufficient material. So that he can prepared me a mansion. But whatever it might be you can be sure that you won't be cheated as to your mansion. You'll have exactly what you gave him to build with as we say. And you'll have exactly thirty-fold, sixty-fold, hundred-fold, whatever it might be. You'll have exactly in this life as to whether you sewed bountifully or you sewed sparingly. You'll have exactly in the world to come as to whether you sewed sparingly or whether you sewed bountifully. It won't be changed or altered one bit, but it will be just exactly the way that you gave it to him as to bodily surrender. So we're thanking God for that wonderful, new body that he has given unto us. And more and more every day we're growing in his grace and knowledge and learning more about him, because the more that my mind becomes the mind of Christ as to the mind of light, that's the more that my body has been redeemed unto a fullness as to body, soul and spirit or as to a hundred-fold more than sixty-fold or thirty-fold, depending what I give to him. If I surrender a hundred per cent, then I receive a hundred percent. If I surrender as to reservation of heart and excuses, then am I whatever I am by the grace of God. All right let's stand together and sing a little chorus or two. Exhorting you tonight to contend for the faith and to go on to the wonderful blessings of God. Whatever you do that's between you and the Lord, but I want to win souls. I made the statement earlier that my interest is not in a mansion. My interest is in his pleasure. If I can fulfill his desire and if I can follow to a tee his pleasure I will be happy because I want every thought holy, pure, righteous and godly. Every intent of the heart, every reflect of the mind. I want to do his pleasure. I want to please him. And the one thing I desire throughout eternity is his pleasure. And if he'll let me do that that will suffice me. I like his way. He pleaseth me well. All right let's sing a little chorus together can we? I want to praise him in the morning. I want to praise him at the noontime. I want to praise him when the sun's going down. All of my life I've sought to please him, ever since I become acquainted with him and learned about his wonderful blessings and glory. And the more that I enter into his glory, the more I'll be changed into his glorious image. The more that you enter into that light as to the dimensional depths of that great wisdom and understanding, the more that you'll be blest. As the man said when he came to the table today, he used a little personal application but he said, Great wisdom I have heard. And this is what we want to do is understand Him. Can we sing a little chorus together? (They sing) Can you sing that with me? (They sing) Let's sing this song: Sweet Jesus, Sister Dale. Give me a key. Sing it again. (They sing) (End of Tape 1 Side 2) Just one more time. (They sing) Let's sing this little chorus Dale. (They sing) Sing that with me. (They sing) Sing it again with me. The altars are open. (They sing) One more time. (They sing) One more time. Where will you be a million years from now? (They sing) Let's sing this little chorus Sister Dale. Give me another key. (They sing) Sing with me now. (They sing) Sing it with me now. (They sing) Can you give him a wave offering? (They sing) One more time together. (They sing) Can you sing it one more time with me? (They sing) One more time together can we worship together. Let's fast and let's pray. (They sing) Can you say, Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Can you give him a hand? He worked the roads to glory and he smoothed them out for you and me. We ought to be willing to let our life be for another that we might also smooth out the roads to glory. Let's sing another little chorus or two. (They sing) Can you sing it one more time? (They sing) Can you sing it with me? (They sing) Let's sing this little chorus as we look for a place to close. (They sing) Sing that with me. (They sing) One more time with me now. (They sing) One more time together. (They sing) Let's sing this little chorus. (They sing) Can you sing that with me? (They sing) Sing it with me now. (They sing) Remember the angel standing on the land and the sea with his hands raised to heaven shall swear by him that time should be no more. Why would he do that? As we would say in the earth, he got a revelation. What kind of revelation did he get? That it was all finished at Calvary. Jesus said, It is finished and in the fullness of time he made an end of sin. So then he got a revelation that now is made manifest the wonderful love and works of Christ. It was all over. He discovered as we would say in our own terms that time was no more. And now that we got a revelation that time is no more, what can we say? We have to say with the angel that time is no more, no more, no more. Time goes back beyond the veil at Calvary. And where there's the veil there is time. And where there's no veil, there's no shadow, and where there's no shadow there is no death. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. There is no death where there is no shadow and the shadow is the veil and the veil is now gone. As Paul said, Those things of the Old Testament were only a shadow of the things that were to come. Now that the son has arisen, the shadow is gone, we see the very image. And what do we see? Even Jesus himself as body and bone of his flesh, so the church is. (They sing) And though those people out there would try to convince you of time, and make you a slave to time, to be a time creature, to labor your life away for the beggarly elements of the world; but ye are not in the darkness of the veil of death, but you're in the light, children of light. See you should never let them convince you that you are relative to them that ye should sleep the sleep of death. For Jesus said, I go to awake Lazarus, I go to awake Lazarus. He hath come to awake us. The morning is come. Yes it has come like the little story when the great prince (End of Tape 2 Side 1) his bride and kissed her we say as to Christ the prince of peace as to the kiss of charity, death went away and she awoke. She could sleep no more. She could sleep no more. We say the poison apple as to say the old tree of knowledge, but we know it wasn't an apple, that's a human concept, but it is true fruit and she ate of that unto death. But the prince is come and the morning is now breaking and the day star is dawning within your heart and it's time to get up and put on your beautiful garments Oh Zion, which is the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, your beautiful wedding garment to enter into the supper of this great revelation. (They sing) Once again together. (They sing) Today I was thinking how that as I said the Ku Klux having their little thing as to the burnt cross, as to the Sabbath the day of the Jews Saturday, and then today as to Sunday, the morrow after the Sabbath, even the resurrection, Ricky, having his marriage down here on the little bridge in front of what they call the Father's House, symbolic, the girl coming from California, symbolic of the body of Brother Branham as to the resurrection. Just before corruption the body of the church comes forth; and Richard meaning king of all. It was down there that Richard almost cut little Matthew's to death, a little more and it would have killed him if it had have hit him in another place. You can't imagine what it was like, how deep, how long, how horrible; but by faith we went straight to our knees to pray and God worked a great miracle, that even the tendons were not effected. And we're going to dedicate the middle bridge to Matthew as to what Matthew meant, we brought it out one time, it has to do with the Lord. And Rick was on that bridge. And little Bill just coming back, Billy Kirk, his dad, a hunter, you know symbolic of the resurrection as to Big Bill in the wilderness with hunting and little Bill as unto resurrection of life, being the best man at that wedding as to the redemption of the body of the Lord Jesus. Calvary yesterday, the burning the cross, the consummation. Last night I said yesterday, in the night. It had to be in the night. But in the daylight came the wedding and many other things that was taking place. And Myron and Gracie being here and many other things. It was so beautiful as we looked in heaven and saw many, wonderful things. And you once again lift your hands up to heaven, close your eyes and let us sing this little chorus together. If you believe time is gone. Time ruled and reigned over your body when it was alive, but Joshua commanded the shadows to be gone, that the day star might dawn called the sun. That there wouldn't be anymore shadows as that old intellectual mind of interference that came in from the garden through the weakness of the beast, the bastard image. All those shadows are moving away from glory to glory. The mind of Christ is revealed within you. And the daystar is thus dawning as to swallow up your outer being. There would be no more remembrance of you, a new creature. (They sing) Just once again together as I call Ricky up here to dismiss us. (They sing)
