The Reopening Of The Fountain Of David

I appreciate you being here, especially appreciate Richard and the wife being here. They're to leave, I believe, first thing tomorrow, is it Richard? All right. How many of you appreciate these people being here with us? Can you give them a hand? Now, I'm not sure. I might be talking out of school so I have to be careful about what I say sometimes. Sometimes there can be a misunderstanding in communications, but I understand that these folks are planning to go home, make arrangements, and move back out in this direction. Is that right? All right. We got two witnesses. That's good. I love to see-The Bible said in the mouth of two witness, so I feel like that will be all right. It will be a pleasure to have these people with us as children of God here to pastor and try to help them. As I said the other night, I'm glad to have Howard back. He took a trip and was trying to take care of a few things, personal and he also was trying to take care of some things for the work of the Lord, as to the plane and whatever. And we're very grateful to have him back safe and sound. Today when you travel you really have a problem, because death is lurking in the shadows everywhere. A lot of times people think that traveling by plane is safe, you know. But planes crash, too. And you are always hearing of something. The only safe thing that I know of is following Jesus. That's the only thing that I know of. I think I mentioned this a time or two before, but I always am in remembrance of what Brother Terrell said when he was on the plane and some of his followers were with him. They said, Brother Terrell, we're not worried at all about this plane crashing and you on here with us. He told them, said, Don't feel like that, said, this plane could crash with me on it just like it can with you. So, that's true. If you don't have the Lord and you are not trusting the Lord it don't matter who's on that plane; that thing can go down. That plane don't have no respect of persons. It had just as soon crash with one in there as another, but when you've got the Lord Jesus you've got a consolation. Whereas, the Bible says, And He will give His angels charge concerning thee, and they shall bear thee up in all thy ways, lest at anytime thou should dash thy foot against a stone. That is very, very true. All right. Chapter 10, let's read from the book of St. Luke and see if the Lord will give us a thought or two tonight. I'll try to say something that might be beneficial to you. We're here for one reason and that is to glorify God, and to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ to the full measure of the full stature of the perfect man, Christ Jesus, and to go on to a full reward. Now, a lot of people will never get a full reward. Some will never even bring forth any fruit to perfection. There will be some that will be saved as if by fire, all of their works being burned, but they, themselves being saved as though by fire. And then there will be some that will not bring forth as much fruit as others. Some thirty-fold, some fold, some a hundred-fold. It depends on as to your submission to God, your surrender to God, as to what you desire as to heavenly things. Then some will bring forth that hundred-fold, as to go on to be perfect even as the Father in heaven is perfect. And of course, they that go on to be perfect, as to those that really do their best for perfection, though they'll stumble and stagger like all the rest, but because of their endeavor as to do their very best in God makes up for their shortcomings. And as a result of that there is nothing that's charged against them and God marks them a perfect score. And the weakness of whatever their stumblings was is washed out and blocked out and they have the filler of His own strength, as to make their chain without a weak link. So, this is wonderful, and in thus doing we become the bride of Christ. Paul said, I press forward to the prize of the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus, which is becoming the bride of Christ, or which is going on to be perfect. For to be the bride of Christ you have to be part of Christ. To be the bride of a man you have to be part of that man and that's his own body. And I see, a lot of times, you know, as I go to and fro in the world, I see women lusting after, or rather men lusting after another woman. And of course, men lust after women and women lust after men, but as the Bible said, the lust of the flesh. If the devil is there and he'd lust after anything. They, I better not say it that way, but he will. Anyway, he'll lust after anything. But I just think a lot of times, when those women are lusting, or the men are lusting, I think, the man lusting after that woman and sometimes she gives place to it, sometimes she kind of caters to it, married or unmarried. The devil, he don't care, you know, but I think about it. When the man is lusting after that woman and trying to attract her, entertain her, entice her, which women do men the same way. The Bible said women mince with their feet as they go. And it said, Don't let them take you with their eyes, because they work their eyes, too, and demon spirits are always there in forms and expressions. But anyway, I thought a lot of times, when the women are lusting, or when the men are lusting, as to the men lusting after the woman, I thought, Now, they don't realize that they are lusting after her husband, that she is the body of her husband and they are actually lusting after that body. And that is, of course, perversion. But it's true. She is bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. And that's very sad to think that people will do that, and yet they will do that. It's so wonderful to be a Christian. And it's so wonderful to love one another with all purity, as in Christ to love one. The Bible said to love the brothers and sisters with all purity in Christ. And it's so wonderful, see? for as in heaven there won't be any marriage. As in heaven, you remember, when they came to Jesus they said to Jesus, Master, we would learn one thing of Thee. And of course, tempting Jesus to try to trap Him in His words, the Pharisees and Scribes were cunning like a fox; always trying to do that. And they said, This woman she married a man and he died and there was no children. And of course as I say, in the Old Testament, if you have no child you have no inheritance, because it's symbolic of having no Christ. You don't go to heaven. You don't have no glory in that He is the heir of the glory. But anyway, as it was said, and to the woman there came another man and she was married and on down to the seventh that had her. Now, they said, when they really thought they had Him trapped, they said, Now, when they get to heaven whose wife shall she be? And Jesus just boldly answered back and said, You do err not knowing the Scripture. Now I tell you that was like dashing cold water in the face of them great Bible scholars, the Pharisees and Scribes, who thought they ruled the world. He said, You do err not knowing the Scripture. He said, For in heaven they neither marry nor or given in marriage, but they are as the angels. So then, in heaven you are spirits. In heaven we are all spirits. The first man Adam, he is a living soul and the last man Adam a quickening Spirit. Or that is to say, the living soul for multiplication purposes. I'm trying to collect your minds here to kind of get them together if I can, because they are scattered pretty much tonight. On Friday night, our slack night, people get their paycheck and some folks can't handle it, and you can't serve mammon and serve God, and when they get mammon God is not important. But anyway, it's kind of scattered a little bit and I'm trying to collect it. But as I said, see? We are as spirits. We are born of the Spirit. Therefore, he that is born of Spirit is spirit, and he that is born of flesh is flesh. And in the first man Adam we are born of flesh, as to a living soul, and we all die because of sin. But in Jesus we are born of the Spirit and we all live, because of righteousness. And the body is dead because of sin. So then, once we're changed from the living soul to the quickening Spirit we can never sin again. So if we can never sin again we can never die. It's all over. We brought that out the other night about the loosening of the prisoners. So we realize that God has wrought such a wonderful thing in Calvary for the believers. And the thing that we are wanting to do, is to believe with all of our heart, to love Him with all of our mind, with all of our soul, with all of our strength, with all of our heart, to love our neighbor as our self. This is the beautiful thing, is that love is of God. I know there is phileo love and there is agapeo love and as to the agapeo love, it's God's love and the other is lust, as to human love, and as to the human love it loves in such a way that it will love its wife and kill you if you attempt to love her. But, as to agapeo love, you can love everyone and everyone can love you. And in heaven there is no sensations, as to human body, as to human senses, as to relation to the opposite sex. There will be no such thing in heaven, because in heaven there is neither male nor female as to the spirit. And when we get there we will all be brothers and sisters in Christ with all purity, and there will never be any remembrance of anything as to passions, or as to those things that are given just for temporal purposes, as to multiply and replenish the earth, as to furbish and refurbish God's kingdom, as to God being a Spirit that He might have these bodies to dwell in. That will all be over and all these people that have went crazy with passions, and in movies and magazines and bodies and everything else, just got into perversion and everything else, those devils and demons, as to that is what they'll be judged at, because they gave their bodies to that. They will not be remember again. And as I said, when the grace is lifted that will be at the time that the church finishes its course. It will remain until then because it is not given for the wicked. I know we get the idea that God has spilt the blood for the wicked, and that He hath put this blood on the seat of atonement so everybody in the world, as to the wicked, you know, can be happy and God loves everybody. But as I've said so many times, that if a man was running around after me with a shot gun trying to blow my brains out, he'd have a hard time convincing me that he loved me. And the Bible said, as concerning the wicked, I will pursue the wicked until they perish from off of the face of the earth, for I am angry with the wicked everyday. And all of their prayers are an abomination in My sight and all of their offerings are an abomination in My sight. And all nations that forget Me, I will turn them into hell, God said. So then, we know that God doesn't love the wicked. It is true that the Bible said it's not My will that the wicked should perish, but that all should come to repentance and have everlasting life. And it is true that the love of God has gone out to the wicked and to all the others in this sense, that the blood is on the seat of atonement and the rain is upon the just and the unjust, and Jesus had to die to take away the sins of the world, as to give us this momentary thing, as to a dispensation of grace, until we who are born of the grace of God, should take hold of this thing, and then after the church matures then that grace is gone, and you'll see how much God loves the wicked when He makes their blood run to the horses' bridle. See? So, as I was telling someone today, you couldn't picture a man, even if he was a man of love, of great love and great curtsey and compassion, you couldn't picture him loving somebody that was standing there to kill his little ones, every time he turned his head that that person was waiting to kill his little ones, and had already killed some of them and waiting for the chance to kill the others. You couldn't picture that man loving him. He might would have a love for him, in the sense that he wouldn't want to see a human being destroyed, but as far as he is concerned, he would judge you the same way that God judges it and he would say, This is a brute beast made to be taken and burned, and as soon as he got a chance he'd lay him even with the ground to protect his children. So then, God is that way. God hates the wicked. He's angry with the wicked everyday. And David of old said, I hate evil with a perfect hatred, and He's holding His sword ready. He has whet His sword and He's holding it ready for the wicked. So, though you see the grace and mercy upon all of these people that are out in the world, and they're doing their thing, and they're turning the grace of God into lasciviousness at the time of this grace, taking advantage, as to frolic and let devils live in their body and utilize this body for the foolishness and lasciviousness of the flesh. See? And they are going to be called into judgment for that and they're going to be destroyed and God despises their image. As soon as the light strikes it He despises it. Right now He can't see it. He's looking upon humanity through the eyes of Jesus, or the blood of Jesus, and that way He allows all of humanity to continue. He cannot see their image of iniquity. All He can see is the blood of His Son atoning. And He cannot see the people in there first birth, as to their image, because that image is the bastard child image and despised in the sight of God, and He cannot look upon iniquity. So then, He is sparing the world for one reason and that is because you are relative to the world in that your body has never been changed. Though your body has been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb it has never been changed. And because it has never been changed there has to be, as the rain from above, there has to be that glory of God, as from heaven, coming down upon you, As the rain it has to come down upon you to keep you alive. So to do that God has to allow for the out yonder, and He does that as to allow for you. See? He has to allow for you and it means that because the righteous are blessed then the wicked are partakers of their blessing while this blood is there to protect them. But to prove that is true the Bible said the very day that Lot went out of Sodom, out of Gomorrah, the fire came, just like that. And that's what God thought of the wicked. And it's the same way, as to the Bible reference back to that, that the very day that the church goes out the blood would come off of the seat of atonement, and the anger of God will be kindled against the wicked, because He hath no time for the wicked. And He would not be a just God, nor a loving God if He made allowance for the wicked to give grace to the wicked that they might live to kill and destroy. Someone would say, Well, Brother Pike, God has to give this leisure and this grace to the wicked, because you never know that they might change and come to God. Folks, the Bible says that God knoweth those that are His, and we are predestinated by foreknowledge. He knows everyone that belongs to Him and that is not wicked. He knows everyone that don't belong to Him and that is wicked, and He could slay them over night, like that. Now, but the thing is, He has to do it because of what I told you. Remember this one thing just before we read here. Keep this thought in mind, and that is, as I've said so many times, in the garden there was no such things as rain coming down from heaven to create a mud hole and a mess like it is today. See? There was no such thing, but the mist came up from the ground and it watered the vegetation and kept everything in tact, everything nice and neat. And when man fell from that lofty state of paradise, after that God could not be with them anymore. Therefore, as to the watering from the earth, as to coming up, in that we're made out of the earth, then the Shekinah could not do that anymore. They had fallen into the realm of the beast and they were now under the constraint of a new master and Satan was the controlling factor of their life and God could not even get near them because God has to work through a mind. He is a Spirit and He has to work through a mind, and the only mind that He can work through is a pure mind. The Bible speaks of stirring up your pure mind, which of course in our day, is the mind of Christ. Because of man's fall it had to become the mind of Christ, which is the mind of God. And God has to work through that mind to get to your inner spiritual angelic being. Because your angelic being is cut off from God, who is the Spirit of life, and you are dying. It's like a man with a canteen of water. He's out on a desert, he doesn't have enough to make it to the other side to the well, and he's too far away from the first well to make it back. So, it is a fact that God cannot get to your inner spiritual being, so then you die, because this mind that Adam and Eve conceived of, as from the tree of knowledge, it is interwoven with your outer being as to, within the flesh there dwelleth no good thing, Paul said, for to will is present, but how to perform that which is good I find not. And I find a law that when I would do good evil is present with me. So in the thing that I am saying is, this mind of satanism is a wall of iniquity. And the Bible tells us that we should cast down this mind and cast down the imagination. And every thought of the human being should be brought into subjection to the obedience of Jesus Christ. So that means that we must have within us the mind of Christ, to have the mind of Christ, and then God can work through the mind of Christ by our faith in Christ, as to what He did for us as to the atonement, and our iniquities are gone. The body is dead because of sin. Jesus took our image of iniquity out of the way, nailed our iniquity to the tree, then He turned to us as to the mind of Christ. And when He does that He comes in through the mind of Christ into our spirit as a Spirit called the Holy Ghost, or the Holy Spirit and seals our spirit by an interwoven thing to where that Satan can never touch that Spirit, because it's radiating with the wonderful exuberance and light and understanding, or righteousness of God. And as light and darkness has no fellowship, in that light will eradicate darkness, then that means that you will never have an problem. But if you do not let God come in by receiving the atonement of His Son, as to faith in His righteousness and by receiving the mind of Christ as to whatever measure you receive it, if you do not allow that, God said, I will come and remove your candlestick, and your candlestick is your spirit, for the Bible said that the spirit of man is the candlestick of the Lord, and it is searching out the inward parts. Or that is to say, life consists of light and God said, I will just come and move our light. I will blot your name out of the land of the living. But if you will follow Me I will not blot your name out of the land of the living, but I will extend your light, as to an eternal source to the extent that you won't even have to go by the way of the grave, as to separation from the body, as saying it will come to a change. And you have separated from the body in the extent that the body is dead by Calvary, buried in water baptism, the spirit having gone back to God who gave it at that death, and you are they that dwell in heaven. And there is a reuniting, as to spiritually speaking, when the Lord descends from heaven. But anyway, I was just saying that to say this. That when man fell from the grace of God, as to the image of His covering, as to the Shekinah image, or begin made in the image of Christ, or God. After that God had to send the rain from heaven. So then, the grace comes down today as the rain from heaven, the rain on the just and the unjust, that to keep the just alive, because they haven't been changed in their body, then the unjust gets the benefit of it. And they, as Satan, believe, become very religious. Satan controls the world by believing. If you believe there is one God, you do well, because the devil believes also and trembles. And he controls the world by that, runs the world. He's in control of the world. He does all of these evil things by turning the grace of God into lasciviousness. Or taking advantage of this day of grace so that he can do his thing. Now, in this, that means that they that are out yonder in the world they are also in heaven, as in the second heaven. And their sins are taken away as to the second heaven, or this dispensation of time. And you are they that dwell in heaven. The woman that was heavy with child was also in heaven in Revelation 12 when the red dragon, which is the blood life, was there to devour. And I say this again, that when we say the blood life ready to devour, talking about this old carnal mind, or that of life born out of passions, as to the blood being the red dragon life, and the life imprisoned to that beast blood down through the years and this blood, as to the dragon, cast out as it was taken in symbolic means from the veins of Jesus, in that He was made in our image. And yet made in our image, and yet not sin, and His blood given as a symbolic thing. And yet it was pure and the only form of life to start a new generation by the washing of the water of the Word, or the washing of regeneration. So then, in seeing this we realize that when they fell from that Shekinah image the red dragon had already imprisoned, by, had already imprisoned by the means of blood, the life, the breath of life that God had breathed into man when he become a living soul. We realize that, see? so we see that being imprisoned it was imprisoned within the body and the body became the bastard child of iniquity, as a derivative from the blood cell of that life. And in doing so then you are imprisoned from your first birth. And your life is in prison as a spirit, because God is a Spirit. And falling from that God image Adam lost that title, the Son of God. And then when the second man Adam came He resumed that title as the Son of God, and He brought back the lost image. And today in the mind of God we have already been changed into that image, though it doesn't appear; yet by Calvary it's already accepted over the chasm of death, as to time, and out there in the Thessalonian change He already sees us as what we are, the dear children of God. That is what we are in the mind of Christ. And as I so said, given us the mind of Christ with all of these benefits. Whereas, given to us in Christ before the world ever was, as to the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world that it might be within us like a little baby, as we walk and talk the revelation, as to the mind of Christ revealing itself from glory to glory, from measure to measure, from thought to thought, to bring forth the full scope of God, as to an understanding and intelligence to swallow up the body that it might be Him living and not us that liveth, but Christ living within us. And as Paul said, The life I now live I live by the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. So then, the rain is coming down upon us. It's coming down on the just and on the unjust, because God has to do this to keep His creature alive and to preserve the inner spirit until the inner spirit, as to Christ being formed within you. Paul said, I travailed until the fullness of Christ comes in to you, as to the mind of Christ, the faith of Christ, and then the change will be made in the body. And when the change is made in the body there won't be anymore grace, as to the blood on the seat of atonement that will come down from heaven, and the wicked will thus be cut off and the devils, as to the red dragon that you read of in the book of Revelation, Revelation 12. You won't find them in heaven anymore, because the only way that they are in heaven is that they live in human bodies, which human bodies, because of the church, even them that are without, which bodies have right to the grace of God. Jesus having taken away their sins for the benefit of the church. See? And they live in those bodies, they are in that grace, but they are walking devils. They are walking freaks, and your college is the stem of that tree, and your educational system is the stem of that tree. And if you'll watch your college boys and girls and your high school, and it's getting on down now to the grammars as well, the little elementary children, as we would say. See? And they are fast becoming walking devils, and the law, as to Satan having control of this world, he's working with the law and forcing the children to go to school. See? Before that came along children were raised up on the farm and they had good understanding. The Bible said, All of them that are of God have a good understanding. You don't have to go to school to learn. It was said of Jesus, How do you know letters having never learned. And it was said of them that was going into Canaan land, you know, you don't have to learn. God will make you of a good understanding, and those people that have been learning all of their life, when you come forth they'll be afraid of you because of the understanding and the knowledge you have. And the Bible said when Stephen spoke over there, They could not understand the wisdom by which he spake. They beheld his face as that of an angel. As the Bible said, Wisdom maketh thy face to shine. All right. So then, we see with this rain coming down upon them, then that means that the wicked come before God as in the day of judgment. Satan came. As the sons of God came to present themselves so came Satan. And when ye, who are now the sons of God, John said, already are ye the sons of God, now when you come to present yourself before God, as here in the church, then Satan also comes. He comes in that body that has given itself to the devil. As it was said of Judas, I've chosen twelve; one of you is a devil. And as it said of Peter, it said, Get thee behind me, Satan, because the mind of Satan caught hold of Peter. He had not yet been filled with the Holy Ghost, and so then he was taken into captivity there, for they that are of the world are taken into captivity at the will of Satan. So we see then, that this is almost over. The days of the Gentiles are almost over, and with that the Jews will come in, because the Jews represent the body, as to that which is dead from Calvary to show that the Gentiles and the people in their body are dead in the sight of God, that God may save them by grace and not charge anything against them according to their physical deeds and actions, that salvation be by grace, not of works lest any man should boast, but it is the gift of God. But that does not eliminate the fact that you must be holy in your body as well as spirit, because if God saves you by grace, by the blood of Jesus, seals your inner angelic, spiritual being, it is from that that you are perfect, but God is expecting of you that that perfection within you should be made manifest in your mortal genes as the life of Christ. And that until every thought is in subjection and until it is not you living but Christ that liveth and walketh in the earth and speaketh in the earth. And of course, some of you will never do that. You are not going to do that. You are carnal minded, and if you are carnal minded you don't have the mind of Christ, you don't have the Holy Spirit, though you be believers, very religious and you must die. You must die. You can have carnal things, have all you want to, but to have a carnal mind is death. You can never love those things, or think on those things. You must think on God. You must praise God and you must mediate in His laws day and night. Then all things are yours as it was with Adam and Eve in the garden. They had all things but they were not carnally minded and the very minute that she, as Eve, the weakness of the flesh, partook of the tree of knowledge they became carnal minded and death came in and God was shut off, because God is a Spirit and He made Him this body to live in, to manifest within you the abundance of life. Jesus said, I am the Prince of Life. I come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly. And He cannot get in when the mind of iniquity, as to the tree of knowledge, or the satanism of the mind of Lucifer, through the beast, is there. All right. And of course that outer part is the beast. It must be killed. All right. Let's read here in chapter 10. I didn't mean to get to preaching before I even read the Scripture. Chapter 10. (Reads verses 1 through 22. Begin tape one, side two.) This is true. Though Jesus was right there with these people He said, having ears you don't hear and having eyes you don't see. And He said to them while they looked upon His vesture, said, You have never seen Him at any time. And they were there looking at Him because it was very obvious that that was Him, because He said to the woman, when she said, Messiah cometh. I am He. Unless you believe I am He, as to the people, ye shall die in your sins. And He said, as to Thomas, you know, to Philip, This is Me. This is Me. See? This is Me. Thomas said, Unless I could thrust my hand into the nail prints I can't believe. And as to Philip, suffer us to see the Father. And, Have I been with you so long and yet you've not known Me? He said. And then He said, Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, as to the wise and prudent, the old tree of knowledge, the professors, the great men of the earth, the Bible said, And the wicked shall not see when good cometh. Eyes, as to the eyes of understanding, have been blinded and they cannot comprehend this light. Though this light, as to her light most precious, though this light shines in the darkness of intellectual ignorance, the Bible said, The ignorance, as to intellectual thinking and knowledge could not comprehend this light. But unto you that are children of light, He said, to comprehend the height, the depth, the width and the length of this wonderful great revelation of God, or understanding of God, as God reveals Himself to you through Jesus Christ, as from this inner source into the mortal genes of your body. Well, anyway, we could preach on and preach on and say things, but I just want to run across a few little things tonight. I really didn't mean to stretch out as far as I did in introducing so many thoughts on some many things tonight. But I was just trying to explain to you that with the rain coming down from above all the mud holes are here. All the mud is on the water, and John likens people to waters. And the mud on the waters, as to represent the blood and rivers unto corruption, because where there is blood there is corruption. See? And we could say a whole lot there, too, as to detail some things. But passing on to a thought here to complete it, what we have to realize is there will come a day when the rain will not come down upon the unjust anymore. And it will not come down upon the just anymore. For there will come a day when God will restore that that the canker worm has eaten, the years the locust had got, as to all that that the caterpillar took, as to say, the serpent, the old worm, or Satan, the old serpent. So, we see that there is coming a time when God is going to cut off this grace from heaven and the blood will be gone off of the mercy seat, but before He does that He must get us into the secret chambers of our God where we are born again of the Spirit, passing from this living soul, in that it's dead by Calvary and done away with, that we are sealed on inside with the Spirit unto the day of redemption of that body, or the change of that body, having sealed that spirit to where evil can never touch it, which makes us perfect in His sight. So then, we realize this. We see this and we know then of a surety that the rain is going to stop. Once this is done on the inside then the Scripture will come to pass as the Lord turns back to the Jews that represent the redemption of the body, and it will come to pass that as the Bible has said through the mouth of the prophet, as to the word being brought to them, it is expressed, And in that day there shall be a fountain opened in the house of David. And God has already, within you and I, as to the fountain of David, as to the Son of David sitting on the throne of our heart, as to the kingdom of God within us, has already opened this wonderful fountain. And the Bible said, From out of your innermost being shall flow rivers of living water, and that these being wells of salvation, that we draw water out of these wells of salvation with joy, for serving God is joy unspeakable and full of glory. Whereas, David said, Lord, restore unto me the joy of my salvation. A lot of times playing around with the world if you're not careful you'll lose the joy of your salvation by getting under oppression, by getting bound, and the devil will be lying to you all the time and telling you you are not a child of God because of your light heartedness and it's by the chastisement of the whipping post. Everyone that cometh unto the Lord He chastens them first. He deals with you as a son. If He chastens you be zealous and repent. So we find out that with this we go through a lot of problems. Jesus, though He was a Son, to be our example, yet learned He obedience by the things that He suffered. Being made perfect He become our captain of salvation and the author and the finisher of our faith. All right. The Bible said then lay aside every weight that doth so easily beset you and run with patience the race that is set before you following in the steps of Jesus who did no sin and neither was guile found in His mouth. So then, we realize that we have this heavenly treasure within our earthen vessel and that the fountain has been opened for us and we not dependent on the grace that is on the seat of atonement only in the sense that this body must be changed. But when it come to the days of the Jews, as to the fountain being open in the house of David, as to the earthly perspective coming back in from that of Calvary to that of the tribulation period, as to that door of heaven, or a heavenly perspective being done away with and the gap being closed up. Then when the fountain comes back in, as to the bodily perspective then the change. And then, of course, death is swallowed up in victory, as to seeing it, as to testifying to it of what can actually be recorded in the records and the system of the world, as to be substantiated, saying, Thus it is. Because it's in the knowledge and understanding of mankind. But already it's happened to you and I. Already we've passed from death unto life. Already the body has been buried. Already the spirit went back to God who gave it. Already our spirit has become interwoven with the great Spirit of Christ, even the Holy Ghost, or the Holy Spirit that does not let one tiny thing spot us. And we are without spot, or wrinkle, or blemish in His sight. And this, of course, is the people that He's coming back after, as to the translation. Now, other people will go through the tribulation, but these are the ones that He's coming back after. Which means that you are going to have to have the Holy Ghost. There is only one way that you can be without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish, and that is through the faith of Jesus Christ by which you are sanctified. And if you have been sanctified by this faith, though you don't have the Holy Ghost, the house is swept, it's empty, it's clean, it's garnished, but even so there is no way that you can keep devils out. There are too many of them. They will come back even after God has cleansed you. So there is no hope for you of going in the translation. First of all because He is Spirit and He has to make contact with spirit that the spirit on the inside of you through working through the mind of Christ Jesus, coming into you will change your mortal genes, and change it into the celestial. There is a natural body, there is a spiritual body. We've born the image of the earthy, as to Adam the first man, and that we die we bear the image of the heavenly, as to the quickening Spirit. But I said that again to make a point right here. And that is to say that God coming into your heart, God coming into my heart, sealing our spirit, it makes us perfect and when the Holy Ghost come sin after that we are sanctified, cleansed and all blemishes are gone, when he comes in, seals us, becomes interwoven with our spirit, that it's no more us living but Christ, starts working He's way out into the mortal genes, once He does this we have the infilling of the seal, and the seal cannot be broken, as in the Old Testament when the king stamped it with the signet ring nobody dared tamper with it. When the great King of kings stamps it with the signet, as to the seal of the Holy Spirit, then from then on nobody can tamper with it. And it can never be touched anymore in any way. So then, we see that God has sealed our spirit. And then He can come back and rapture us away, because we're without spot, wrinkle, or blemish, or we're like the lady that's got the pears, and the lady that's go the fruit, and the lady that has put these into a preserve, as to change them into something that she wants to seal and have them at another time when she breaks the seal. She puts a seal on them to keep them until the time of the breaking of the seal, and should the seal be broken, or not take, during the time of the waiting, or the tarrying for use, then it corrupts. But if it seals properly, two or three years later take it off and it's very tasty and very good. So then, the Bible said God knoweth those that are His, and this seal stands sure. This seal stands sure, as to the Holy Ghost. God knoweth those that are His. Like we preach to you sometimes about the seven seals of Revelation, that these seals had to be loosed. On the back side of the book the book was sealed with these seven seals. And we spoke to you of Calvary how that Jesus closed the book, said, It is finished. God sealed it with seven seals, as to be broken down one at a time, given to the people down through the church ages, because from Moses over to Calvary was too much at one time. They couldn't handle it. So, to be wrought in them as a baby growing into the stature, He loosed one seal at a time. And when He did that what He did was He moved His Spirit. The Bible speaks of the seven Spirits of God, and a Spirit is a seal, that He moved one Spirit, as to a church age messenger, an angel, or in heaven angels are as spirits, and in heaven we are spirits, because we are angels when we are separated from the body. But anyway, we can't go into that; it would take too much time and would conglomerate what we're trying to say. Now, I read to you where it said, And I beheld Satan. He fell from heaven. You can find this recorded really as an expose in Revelation 12 when there is war in heaven where this woman is heavy with child, as showing the Jewish people as to their time coming in, and Satan, the antichrist coming in on them. But, pointing back to the church, as to the church the true Jew, as to the spiritual, and so then you find this war in heaven, but just before you find this war in heaven you find in Revelation 10, you find as to 10 and 7, it said, In the days of the voice of the sounding of the last trump the mystery of God should be finished. Great is the mystery of godliness. Paul said, I am a steward of the mysteries, and in the later times in that day, he said, And the mystery of God should be finished as He has told His prophets, and promised to His prophets. So then, in that you hear something that thunders, and seven thunders uttered their voices. And when these thunders uttered their voices John was about to write, because he was writing this thing as to what was being expressed and being revealed, calling it the revealing of God, or the revealing of the things of God. Or he titled it the Revelation of Jesus Christ. So then, in this, being caught up in heaven through that door that Peter opened at Pentecost, now he was seeing these things and he wrote them down, put them in a book. He sent them to the churches and here we have record of them today, but when it come to the thunders John heard it and started to write. And the voice said, See that you write it not, John. So John could not write that, but he went on to say, In the days of the voice of the seventh angel then the mystery of God should be finished. Or that is to say, John, once the seventh angel sounds he will have the mysteries of the thunders, and the mystery of God will completely be finished, because these thunders represented something. And the thing that they represented was war in heaven. You heard thundering last night, and you saw lightning. See? And this thundering and this lightning represents war in heaven. And had there never been war in heaven, there would never have been lightning and thundering, but as in heaven so in earth. And all of the invisible things of God from the creation of the world will have to be understood by the things which do appear even to the eternal Godhead so that we are without excuse. God does this for us in our behalf so that we can be educated as to an intellectual grasping of those things that are around and about us. In doing this then we take those things as to an intellectual indoctrination and then God, as we being elect moves us into the Spirit. And when the illumination comes all of these things begin to turn into Spirit. Like the Word; it turns into Spirit and into life. So then, Jesus said, My Words are Spirit and they are life. So it begins to turn into Spirit and life and then we look around us and all of the heavens declare His handiwork and we see that God is everywhere, and God is in everything. And everything emanates from God. So this is the way God gets back to His creature, in that He has been separated from His creature by the fall in the garden. And until He can get to His creature, educate His creature, get back in to move that mind of corruption, as to the middle wall of partition, or iniquity, He has to give the rain on the just and the unjust and as to the love of God. You know like when the woman is carrying the child. When she is carrying the child, as Revelation indicates over there, heavy with child as with Mary in the days of her delivery. She was taxed. That is, Joseph and the others of that time. And we had predicted that when the church got to that state, that it would come to that state, that it would be the end of the world. And sure enough it has come to that state that they are taxing the church. And it just about time that they are heavy with child, ready to give forth as to the image of Jesus. But anyway, as to this, that as the war in heaven, just looking at it from there as a war in heaven, then Lucifer is cast out. We see that over there, the woman heavy with child. And as she is ready to bring forth her child the old red dragon in the second heaven laying right there ready to devour the child. To devour the child, we say, as to the blood life, intellectual reasoning, the old education system, as to say in the church, Let's put a pool table in. Let's get some volley ball. Let's do something that's worldly, or let's take an intellectual stroll. So the old red dragon, as to the generation of vipers, represented by the blood. Here you find those intellectual people waiting with their little society in the church to have their basket ball teams and to get celebrities and get people to run for mayor and put them in the upper echelon, and something to give the church prestige, because the devil has got control of it through the intellectual mind, hatching them out of college instead of bring them in by the leading of the Spirit. In that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance you can go to college and become a preacher. So with this then the old intellectual dragon that's in the heavens right now, as to the mercy and the grace of all the benefits of the flesh. See? It is gnawing at them to devour that child with that intellectual indoctrination just as soon as it's born. That quick. But the Bible says as concerning the true child, he was caught up to the third heaven. Just as quick as Zion travailed, or just as quick as Jesus, which represented the woman, the body part, travailed Christ came and was caught up into the third heaven. And of course, Satan has never gotten into the third heaven. The church is in the second heaven and so is the world in the second heaven, Jesus doing away with the sins of the world, and that means that Satan is living in those human bodies that has a dispensational time of grace. See? And during that period of time then everything is in heaven. But when we are born, as of Calvary, we are altogether caught up into heaven. At death, as to Calvary, the spirit goeth back to God who gave it, the body to the ground, and we are no longer bound within the body of the iniquity of the image of that that's the fallen one. And now we are they that dwell in heaven. So the child is caught up to the third heaven according to the record in the twelfth chapter of the book of Revelation. Going into the third heaven. The woman goes into the wilderness. The child goes up into heaven, which of course, is the same with you and I. When the child is born again it goes up to heaven, and we are they that dwell in heaven. And we're growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. From Calvary over to the tribulation period is heaven as to that open door, and to the expose of the ark of the covenant, as to that which is within as to heaven, or the mind of Christ. And then with this, as to us being caught up, our body is buried and it goes out into the wilderness of that intellectual wilderness wandering as the church in the wilderness, as it was with the body of the Jew as to dos and don'ts and trying to understand, and the serpents always biting us as to that which is intellectual reasoning and oppression, demon spirits, and we have to look upon the brazen serpent even as it was when we're told to look upon Jesus as in the days of Moses, the brazen serpent, or He that was made in the likeness of the sinful worm, or made in the likeness of the serpent, or as to that brazen that could not be penetrated, in that no sin could penetrate, that nothing that can penetrate you as to get in there. That brazen part will stand the heat and the fierceness of the consummation of God, who is a consuming fire that shall devour His adversaries. And yet there is nothing as to the wrath can penetrate that brazen part, that on the inside you are sealed and protected by the great Holy Spirit. And ye are outwardly the body of the Lord Jesus Christ that's without sin and that there can be no judgment upon you, because He hath once suffered for judgment, as to people, and that ends the judgment. No condemnation to you, no judgment. You shall never come into the judgment. You shall never come into condemnation, but rather you shall be the judges of all the world, for know ye not that the saints shall appear there at the judgment seat to judge the world, not to be judged. God isn't going to make you His bride, He isn't going to bring about a conception within your heart, and let you travail to bring forth His image, and be married unto you, as He said even unto the backslider, I have healed your backsliding. I am married unto you. If you are the members of My body I have taken away all of your wrong. You can't backslide. See? You can't sin. And He isn't going to go through all of this with us and bring us up before His face to look at His bride, and say, Well, I'm going to decided whether you're good, or whether you're bad, or whether I want you or don't want you, or whether you are corrupt or not corrupt. So then, we know that judgment is in the house of the Lord. And here at this very time the minister is remitting your sins, or is retaining your sins, and by faith of the hearing of the Word as the Word comes forth, you believe or you disbelieve, and thus your sins are bound unto you, or your sins are taken away, for it's not the minister speaking, but it is God speaking from within His temple. All right. So we see that Satan, as lightning has fallen from heaven. He's fallen from heaven. That makes our mind go back to the kite. And I might not try to go past this because I was going to say a few things here, but I can feel the sparks kind of going out out there on some of you. And some of you are just babes. You can't hold on very long, and we probably won't try to get this. Even though there is something that we've been trying to get as concerning the vibrancy for two or three nights, but I'm not going to try to do it, because it makes it bad if I get right in the middle of it and the films get about half of it and the recorders get about half of it. And then you go out and I have to force my way through to finish it, and then that conglomerates and takes away that that they need out yonder in the world. Because you, yourself, you can always come an ask me questions. You can come back next time and get some more, but they can't do that. They may get one tape over here and may never get two tape follow ups. So, we're going to close out here in just a few minutes and just bypass that because I felt that just as I started. All right. So then, we do know this, as pertaining to what we have already said as to a little review here. See? That the blood is now taken away of the red dragon. Now God has opened the fountain in the house of David, as to substantiate and show this with the coming in of the Jews as the resurrection of the dead. And then we are now watered on the inside. No more of that that's coming down from heaven, for when it comes down from heaven it comes on the just and the unjust, and the unjust become a muddle. It becomes a muddled up mind, or it becomes, people likened unto waters, it becomes a mud hole and that for wiggle tails and snakes and everything else. But God isn't going to bring it down on the wicked anymore, that they can have devils and demons living on the inside of them to be a mud hole for the children to slip in. He isn't going to do that. See? He is going to furbish and refurbish, as to the beautiful clean lakes, and those people that are of Christ, that within the waters of their heart they have the precious angelic beings as to that which is pure that swims in the water. You know, you go down, go out into the ocean, go out in the rivers, now you look and you don't see anything but the surface. That's all you can see, is just the surface. But the thing is, a real fisherman they can tell you even on the ocean for miles out, this is the place to fish. And it's like they have x-ray eyes that they can just look down there and they know that's where the fish is. See? Because they've been programmed like that. Like a physician, they have that kind of mind, like a mechanic that can look right through the motor and determine what the little knock is, or define it. See? And it's that way with the preacher. See? The preacher, if he's a real son of God, a real child of God, real shepherd of the sheep, like on that ocean, you know. He sees these people as a great body of water. Whereas, they do represent the ocean. And in that day, as to the new world, there won't be any ocean, because there won't be any of those people, as to those things with the creeping things in there. There will be the glass sea. And as to the people that have become crystal in this wonderful, beautiful, penetrating thing of Christ as to the light of heaven. But anyway, in this thing, it's out on the ocean, see? You look down in there and you see crawling things. You see octopus. You see crabs, you see all kind of things, as to crawfish, and weird things. You see those things, see? because in the world of today everyone that is not a Christian, if that person has already come to the knowledge of Christ, then they become a habitations of devils and demons. The Bible even speaks of the church, as to the church world, saying and Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is become the habitation of every unclean spirit and they have driven out the Spirits of God, and the spiritual people of God. And now they've got devils and demons, as to social parties and benefits, and just as religious as Cain and don't have nothing, as to the Holy Spirit. And taking everything that God has got for grace and going on with their devilish doings, as to the love of the flesh and the lust of the flesh. See? And all of these, they have forgotten God, as to the Word of Spirit and holiness. God is the Spirit of holiness and He said everyone that forgets God shall be turned into hell. So, to be holy in body and spirit, to serve God in holiness all the days of our life, and that without fear. So, we find then that the fountain is being opened in the house of David. And all of those things out there, as to that horrible situation, see? God is ridding Himself of that. He hath ridden Himself of that through the blood of Jesus and He's going to make it manifest that it is so, and that God has driven the old raven out and that he's feeding on the corruption that floating around on the dead waters out there. But the dove has returned, not finding a place for its feet out there among them, as looking for that new world. Waiting for that water to subside he comes back with this wonderful leaf plucked from the tree of life, in that the Bible said in that day, And these trees that are rooted in the river of life will bring forth waters of life to fruits of life, and their leaves shall be as for healing of the nations. And by His stripes we're healed. As to the dove coming into our heart as Christ, He brings that wonderful Word of God as to a leaf like a tongue, as to the Word within the tongue. And to you as that of God, for the Bible said, as to them that are without, the unruly tongue is full of deadly poison. It is full of deadly poison, and the Bible said no man can tame it. It is set on fire by the course of hell. It is an unruly member of the body. So then, we find then that God has saved us. He's sanctified us, He's filled us with His Spirit. He's done all these great things. And in coming together tonight, as I have in the last numbers of nights, hurrying and pushing and pressing to get over a few words, I have to say so many things, and say them so fast, cut so many corners, as to really detailing these things, until it makes it very difficult for you to really understand, especially as babes. And makes it to where it's not so beautiful as a meal prepared and set out, everything detailed to where you can just take your time for hours and days and eat off of it. But nevertheless, hurrying though these things to try not to keep you beyond that of the tolerance of your flesh, because a lot of people don't have very much tolerance. And you just have to give them a nibble or two and let them go. But you that love the Lord, you that do have the tolerance, get with God. Study to show yourself approved. Go into solitude. Let the others eat, drink, and be merry. Let them walk and let them go, and let them believe what they will. Some of them are babes in Christ and they will be saved, but many of them are nothing but spots and blemishes in your feast of charity to aggravate, to stop, to hinder, or whatever, with their small endurances, just to spy out your liberties, just to find something to bring you into bondage, or to gossip about, or to accuse, or to cause division, you know. So then, these people, let them do what they want to but you hold your steadfastness in God. You be spiritually mind. You think on the things of God. You meditate in them day and night, and you take these things and you really work your way into the things of God and let those others go, because there's nothing you can say that will help them. There is nothing you can say that will do them any good. Those people do not have God, and the love of the world is in them. And the Bible said the love of the Father isn't there. So you don't let that get a hold of you. If God gives you the things of the world then love God. If God gives you more things of the world then love God. If God just keeps giving you things of the world love God and never love the things of the world. And never become worldly minded and never get your mind of the things of the world, as to what God has given you. Because the very minute that you do it the devil will take over. He will come in, he'll vex you, he'll cut across your spirit. Vanity of vanities, Solomon said. All is vanity and vexation of my spirit. So then, keep the mind of Christ that the Holy Spirit may get into you, heal you, as to save your body, save your life, which is your spirit, in that the body without the spirit is dead, to save that life, to preserve that life, and you keep the mind of Christ and keep your mind on Christ, and that way the devil can't probe at you. He can't molest you. He can't oppress you, he can't trample your mind down, because he does seek to trample down the mind of humanity. All right. (Begin tape two, side one.) I'm not pleased when I have to hurry and bring a sermon, you know, and run like I do. But I have learned that if I preach to you you'll be very patient, because it takes about forty-five minutes to preach and I can scream and holler and be exuberant, or whatever. Then after that I can let you go. But if I let God talk to you as the revelation of Christ Jesus I have to just run like a horse, just run, because you are so impatient. Paul said, I'd like to speak to you as unto spirituals, but seeing that you are babes in Christ I can't do this. Just desire the sincere milk of the Word that you might grow thereby, which is the feeling and the spirit and all of these things that's exuberant, that excites you. or some little story about the Bible, or something, where it brings out how David killed the giant, you know, and put in a little thought here and there. Which we do sometimes for the babies. Like they tell kids Bible stories before they do to bed at night, you know. But with this wonderful meat that belongs to the strong, they who have by reasoning exercised their senses to be able to discern good and evil. It's something that's great and mighty as the average person can't talk to scientist. They can't talk to a scientist because they are a babe. They are a babe. And being babes, Jesus said, Father, I thank you that you have hid this from those great men of ability, as to learning, and made it revelation unto us who are the common class of people, who don't have the special educations and privileges of life, as to money and as to temporal values. See? So their evaluation is not proper, but we have the thing that is the better. As Martha said, Make Mary help me with the house work and whatever. And Jesus said, Martha, Martha, thou art cumbered about a lot of things, even the cares of life, whatever. But Mary has chosen the better part. She sat at Jesus' feet to learn, and that she has chosen shall not be taken away from her. But, Martha, you'll lose all that you've got. All that you are doing is temporal and you and the world will pass away with it if you have that kind of mind. So eat drink and be merry for tomorrow you die. Have your houses and your land, have your automobiles, have your money, have your education, have your conveniences, have your securities, because tomorrow you die. Make yourself friends of the unrighteous money, or the mammon of the world, in that you cannot serve mammon and God. And the dictionary, of course, give mammon as money. Money answereth to all things. Money is the God of this world as to what Satan, as a spirit uses to control mankind. See? Make yourselves friends of the unrighteous mammon, that when God, who is the great Spirit of life, love, rejects you, that they, as to your money friends, may receive you into eternal habitation, because even though it doesn't appear that they are going into the eternal damnation, as to the pits of darkness, yet they are on their way. For life will soon be leaving them and they can receive you as a fellow to go with them on their long, long journey. All right. Let's sing a little chorus together, can we? (Sings Room At The Cross and Come Into My Heart.) Come into my heart, come into my heart, come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Let's sing this chorus, Brother Taylor. You sing with me now? I'm hoarse and it's a little hard to sing, but let's sing a chorus or two. Give me another key, Frank. (Sings Is That The Lights Of Home I See?) Let's sing this little song together. (Sings Thank You For The Valley.) Let's give the Lord a hand. I thank Thee for the valleys that I walk through. He not only is the rose of sharon, but He is also the lily of the valley. Let's sing this chorus, Brother Taylor, can we? (Sings Where Will You Be.) Let's sing this little chorus. (Sings Thank The Lord For His Marvelous Grace.) Let's sing this little chorus, Brother Taylor. (Sings I'm Longing For Jesus To Come Back.) Sing that with me. (Continues singing.) Can you sing it one more time? (Continues singing.) Praise God. Let's lift our hands together, close our eyes. How beautiful are the words of God and how beautiful are the feet of them that brings glad tidings of great joy that tells us there's a risen Savior. Unto you a Savior is born, unto you a Son is given. The wonderful Prince of Life, and this life within you that you may have life and have it more abundantly. So then, coming to another close, as to a benediction, we always remember that this is the last night until service time again, and of course, it just come across my mind, the Lord just brought it to my mind then that service time will be tomorrow for some of us at a little mission. It's not a very big place, the little mission where we're going to help Brother Dale Clark. He's trying to start a work in Toccoa. He's ask us to come up and we try to go the little places, the big places, the open air meetings, tents, whatever it is. And I don't know we might not even have the place filled up, but whatever it might be we're planning to be there tomorrow night. And you're welcome to go. We always enjoy you going to be with us. But whatever, we will be having service, and those that are there you can enjoy the wonderful presence of God with us. Then of course, following we'll be back for our regular Sunday service. And then, I believe it's the coming week, pretty quick, that we go up to Boone, not the boondocks, but I think it's Boone, Carolina. We're suppose to have service there, they've ask us. In these places they want us to have revivals, but I just don't feel up to it. I feel like having a night here and a night there, because it seems like to get to all the people that need to be ministered to in traveling all over the world, you don't get to spend very long. I do spend more time in the crusades overseas. It so far a journey that when we get over there sometimes we spend a number of days. But over here, having preached around and across the United States from one end to another, Canada, Mexico and then of course, America being kind of a burnt over field with many things, and a lot of babies in America, religious babies, and just kind of get in and out every once in a while and say a few things. We just accept that that we feel that we should accept, as to moving toward that. And we'll be up there. We're going to have a little problem as to our Sunday service when we go up there, but between now and then we'll try to post you as to what is the proper thing to do about the weekend service. While we're singing this little chorus let's search our hearts now. The Bible said examine yourselves, see if you be in the faith. The Bible says as concerning the children of God that if we would judge ourselves we would have no need to be judged, but when we are judged of God and when we are chastened by God to be not condemned by the world, a lot of times we can get by the chastening of the Lord if we would judge ourselves and realize that we're being contrary, that we're not being submissive, and that we're not moving immediately into the truths as they are revealed to us, but that we are, with reservation of heart, holding back, as Ananias and Sapphira, a part of the price, as to our own selfish desire and to incorporate these things within our lifestyle that we might enjoy the flesh. See? When we become aware that we're doing this, immediately repent, get away from that, you save yourself chastisement and sorrow. Move on into the Lord to the full measure of the full stature of the perfect man Christ Jesus, toward that full reward. Because, folks, there's nothing like it. Soon this life will all be over and our pilgrimage shall end. Soon we will all go to meet the Savior as friend to fellowship with friend. See? And we need to remember that the end is coming. It's coming fast. If it doesn't come collectively speaking, as the Lord coming back, it's very definitely coming to you individually speaking, everyone will meet his Maker. And collectively speaking it's well on its way now. The signs of the time are fulfilled, and we need to examine ourselves. See is your conviction is in some old wive's fable, as to say the flesh, or if you are anchored in some teachings as to something erratic that doesn't fall on the Bible. See? A cult. When you walk in the truth people will accuse you of being a cult. Whereas, they accuse cults because they are cults, but as it was in the days of Rome when they took Christians because they were spiritual and put them to death. Called them witches. See? Their carnal reasoning, as to their educational system, corrupts them. Paul said, Who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth. So then, anybody that strays from the precious Word of God, or tries to pervert it, is a cult. As to an occult, it's the same thing in the sense that both of it is a derivative of the devil and there are hundreds and thousands of groups, including denominational people that do not follow the Word of God and their teachings are as to part, a cult. And it is not the Word of God and they've perverted the Word of God and they've tried to misuse the Holy Spirit and misuse the Word. And the Bible said they've changed the Word of God into a lie and they've made it a social thing, as to a benefit of the flesh. And they've tried to use God rather than submitting to God and letting God use them. And because of that it makes it very detrimental in our day, very dangerous in our day. But that you being established in the truth and that a present day truth that you be not blown about by every wind of doctrine, we endeavor to tell you the very Word itself. He that God sendeth will speak God's Word and we try to make you understand that it's God's Word and that it is a Word of Spirit and that it is a Word of truth. And that you should understand it as the Word of Spirit and as the Word of truth. So, in this we ask of you to examine yourself. See if your believing is within the Word, or if you are in the faith. Faith by the hearing of the Word. All right. Let's sing this little chorus together as we close tonight. (Sings I Will Praise Him.) Once again together, now. Can you lift your hands? Can you close your eyes? Can you worship the Lord? (Continues singing.) I'm going to ask Brother Gary Armstrong to come up and dismiss us if he will. Can you worship the Lord now. Time is over and gone. It's over and gone even by Calvary.
