Conforming To The Inner Man

  fully, and I come early and I thought I turned you loose early and the clock it was still late. So I don't know just exactly what happened. I told Betty, I said, it just must be that you haven't set the time on the clock. You haven't got it changed. But she assured me that it was changed, so I really don't know how to explain that. But anyway we don't ever get too much of the Word of God, that's for sure. I wouldn't worry about the famine or I wouldn't worry about the recession. After all if you get hungry and starve to death, we can all starve together. And that way you'll have the consolation one with another. You know, in that you're not doing anything different from everybody else. You know everybody wants to be like everybody. And I marvel at that down through the years of how many people I meet you know and everybody wants to be like everybody until they go to dying and then they don't want to be like them no longer. So I wouldn't worry about it. The Bible teaches that God will take care of us and He was able to provide in the wilderness. He rained down manna from heaven. And I've never known of any of God's people going hungry yet. I've heard a lot of stories about it but I can truthfully say that my wife and I never have. We went by faith all over the nation and all over the different parts of the world and we've never went hungry. And I'm instructed to be hungry because we need to fast sometimes. You know Paul said, I'm instructed to be hungry. And I know when I say that nobody's ever went hungry, I know the devil he'll run and he'll quote that Scripture, "Ah hah!" he said. But it would do some of us good to be hungry. I can tell I'm a little chubby. It wouldn't hurt me if I got hungry a little bit. And I think the problem is that we eat our food and then we eat the food of some other little orphan or somebody, and that's why that they're going hungry. The children of God, David of old said, I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor His seed begging bread which means the children of the righteous. You know people that are children of the righteous they never beg bread. There's something about the prayer of righteous that follows their children and their children never beg bread. They don't have too. Now you know people they get taken with spirits and they go out and do whatever, but they never have to beg bread, so the righteous is never forsaken. And somebody said, Well I dispute that. Well that's good. You can have your disputes and you can just set and dispute all you want too. That's all right with me. But I'm just talking about what the Word of God says, and I don't want to dispute that. Paul used that to dispute with. And the Bible says he daily disputed the Scriptures. But the thing is I trust God. He has never failed me. He will never fail me. My house has always been the house of plenty. My house will always be the house of plenty. And it doesn't matter if famine comes or whatever. God will provide. Let's give Him a hand. Somebody say, Hallelujah! Praise God! God took them out into the wilderness and the Bible says, He rained manna down from heaven. Fed them all the way over to Canaan land. And the Bible teaches that He took care of them, didn't have no hospitals, didn't have no industries, but God took care of them. Hallelujah! When they thought it got ruff and God couldn't do it, He sent a whole covey of quails in. There were so many quails until they waded in the quails. And then rained manna down from heaven. So it will be all right. Everything will be all right. Reading from chapter 10 the II Corinthians I'd like to just speak to you a little bit about spiritual things if I can. It all depends when I come it all depends as to how spiritual you are, how hungry you are. I do know one thing coming out in this cold weather proves to me that you must have something or you wouldn't come out. I see people go out to the ball games and they take their coffee and their tea and whatever and they set out there with their blankets you know in the rain and in the cold, which proves to me that they got something. They have bound to have something and that's the devil. Let's give the Lord a hand. And when I see people come to the house of God then I know people have God. They have God. The Bible says, Satan savors the things that be of the flesh and it takes a devil to want to set out there in a condition like that and it takes God's people to come out to hear His wonderful Word. So chapter 10 in the II Corinthians. I appreciate you coming. Appreciate Denny and the family coming so far. They have to come a long ways up here. And in usually the morning, I didn't see them this morning, but usually our people come over from Crawford. They come over quite a long ways with a regularity. And when you come if I overlook you, if I don't see you, it isn't because I don't appreciate you. Occasionally we have Sister Cornelius' mother and sisters they come all the way down from can't remember the place up here, Cleveland, I believe it is which is a long drive. And they come to be with us. Then occasionally we have people to drop in from different states; and different places around the world they come to Little Bethlehem and they're always writing. As a matter of fact our mail is growing so that we've got to do something to the computer system. It's not sufficient anymore. We need something that is advanced in the computer system Sister Betty tells us and Brother Chuck and Susie. They help us look after that. And we're fixing to kind of update. I thought when I bought the first ones I had enough and I updated it and then I updated it and now I'm still updating and I'm wondering where I'm going to get to stop. But I don't understand the computer world so well you know, you have to update so much. But I do know it's a very costly thing to update. You're talking about thousands of dollars every time you update. And I think Susie started off with two thousand dollars for each one of the computers that we had to have and we had to have x amount of computers to update. And I told her she'd just have to stop somewhere. And finally Chuck backed off and took it at two hundred dollar strides and we talked a little more about it. But I don't know how much, how much did they say as to thousands of dollars. Five hundred dollars to start with. Yeah that was after we had our differences. But what was it they said we're going to have to do? Was it ten thousand dollars? Anyway it was right now kind of an astronaut number. But it might not be so astronomical you know if we consider it by faith because we have to spend tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars so we can consider that. But every ten thousand dollars, that's a lot of money, ten thousand dollars. Even though sometimes just in Frank's office we pay five thousand dollars or more for one machine just for him to use. But still it's a lot of money. It takes a lot of money. You don't have to have money to win souls. You've heard me say that. There has never been a soul that was ever won with a dollar. There's never been a dollar that ever won a soul, never been a million dollars that ever won a soul. It takes the Spirit of God and it takes faith in God and it takes an effort toward Christ believing in the wonderful blood of Jesus. He done it all. But it does take a lot of money as to tools for evangelism or things that help and aide in winning souls. And we appreciate what God has given us, and we appreciate the things that you contributed as to the things that you've given, and as to the finance that you've given, as to the time in prayer that you've given, trying to live a Christian life and leave a good testimony among people that will help to furbish and refurbish as to the things of God. We appreciate it. A call came in from somebody. I don't recall who it was. I believe it was yesterday. Somebody had gotten a hold of one of our books, Working Through Headship. I don't name those books. Brother Taylor, the different ones they name. There's a number of them that name them. And they named this particular one, Working Through Headship. And this man had gotten a hold of it and he said I don't know about this place called Bethlehem. I just got this book and he said, I want to know about this place. He called and he finally found a telephone number and he called and he wanted to talk with me and right at that time I didn't feel that I wanted to talk with anybody right then. I like to keep my mind on the Lord or talk with the Lord and. But anyway he said that he was coming out here. Said, But he didn't feel that things was just right at his church or even maybe with his pastor. I don't know but he wanted to come out here. And there's people like this all the time, through the mail or through something that they are getting the Word of God. And as the mail increases then we have to have something that will take care of it. So you pray for us and ask God to help us and God to help them that are working with us in the mailing department and in every other department. Because it is necessitated to the gospel that we fight a good fight and lay hold on eternal life and endure hardness like a good soldier the Bible says. So we need to come together and do something for God. If you're not doing anything for God then let me invite you to do something for God. There's nothing more wonderful than working for God Almighty. And let me invite you to do something for God. Find an office. Get into an office. Find somebody to work with. And someone would say, Well, I don't see anything going. Well get something started. That's what we're looking for is folks that can get something started so somebody else will have something to do. As far as I know we've got so many things to do and so many things going that I doubt seriously if one third of it gets taken care of. And I'm serious. I'm just as serious as I can be about it. I doubt very seriously if one third of it is from my observation in what I run into as to problems and looking I know that one third of it doesn't get taken care of. So with all of the efforts we got we're still running way behind. And today I was more or less pinning and not pinning in the sense that I'm happy. And Paul said, that in whatever state I find myself I'm instructed to be there with content, whether it's poor or hungry or whether it's in one condition or another, one state of affairs or another. But the thing is I, you know my mind stays on winning souls. When I get up in the morning my mind is on winning souls. At noontime my mind is on winning souls. Over in the evening at bedtime my mind is on winning souls. During the night unless I dose off to sleep whether on my bed or on my knees or whatever it might be my mind is on winning souls. And so then to me winning souls is the all important thing. It's the great, mighty thing. I appreciate men like Mr. Bush that they have a calling in their life to run the nation. And there is men that are legislatures that they have a calling in their life that they should take care of the government. And I'm certainly glad before the living God that these people will do all these things. Even the billionaires that take care of their billions because I wouldn't want to be messed up in nothing like that. Let me ask you to give the Lord a hand. I said, I wouldn't want to be messed up in nothing like that. Somebody would say, Brother Pike, do you mean that's a mess? That's a wonderful thing. That's a wonderful thing. There's people in the world. They have to have government. They have to have all these things. You know and I thank God for all of it. I thank God for the law. I thank God for the protection. I thank God for everything. But folks, in all reality children don't, of God don't need nothing but Jesus. Let's give the Lord a hand. He's everything. And all these other things is because of your infirmities of the flesh and because of your problems. There was a time when there was nothing but just a man and his little wife and family out on the farm and in the field and he raised his crop and they eat and drank and they had a wonderful time in God and we all got together as neighbors and they provided one another's needs and they didn't have to have all these things. They didn't have to have people ruling over them. And as it was back in the days of Samuel when Samuel was a sear and nobody ruled over the people and the people started saying, We want somebody to rule over us. And Samuel said, All right. I call you to record that for all these many years God has taken care of you. Haven't had any problems, but if you want a king we'll give you a king. And so they got a king and they were sorry from the day that they got a king. But nevertheless, the Lord suffered that to bring it about that someday there would be a great king, a Lord of lords and a King of kings; and we're learning more and more that what we need is Christ. And what we need is the Word of God. And when we follow the Word of God then we're all right. Everything is going to be all right. But see, in the world, the problem is that people are willing to submit to leadership in the world. And the Bible says, In the last days they'd be despisers of government which they really are and some of them have got reasons to despise the government, others are just renegades. But a good government is a wonderful thing. But people follow after government and they look to these things and they believe in these things; but when it comes to the leadership of Christ they will not submit themselves, neither will they conform to the Word of God, neither will they listen to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, neither will they be under the constraint as I say of the leaders that God has ordained; whereas the Bible says taking the oversight over the flock of God over which God hath made the overseers to feed the church of God which He hath purchased with His blood; but they are very base and contrary; and it makes it very difficult to be able to lead them, yet the shepherds have commanded to lead the sheep. And a sheep cannot find his way without a shepherd. The wolf is bound to get him somewhere along the line. So we appreciate those that are willing to work with us and give their lives as a sacrifice unto this. Whereas the Bible says, Give of your body, your body, not just your spirit, not just as we would say your understanding or your thoughts but give your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service, just a reasonable service. If you fast all the time and pray all the time and give all the time and go to church all the time and talk about Jesus all the time and don't have no time for yourself, then you've done a reasonable service. Let's give the Lord a hand. All right, somebody would say, Well, how much time do I have to do what I want to do, Brother Pike? Well, I ask you one question, how much time did the Lord Jesus have while He was here to do what He wanted to do in that He said, I do always the things that please the Father; and inasmuch as we are the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, the members in particular, how much time do you think we need? Let's give the Lord a hand. That's why the Bible says, Casting down imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's read from chapter 10 II Corinthians. 

II Corinthians 10:1-18 "Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present. For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand. But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth."

All right now Paul in his writings right here he's telling us once again that what we need to do is to cast down imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God; to bring into captivity to the obedience of Jesus Christ every thought. Says, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but the weapons of our warfare he says is mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, the casting down of imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God. See that's the thing that we should be interested in, folks, is the knowledge of God. Solomon said that if we should search we would come to find the knowledge of God. And the thing that we should be interested in is the knowledge of God. Because the Bible speaks of the knowledge of God after this fashion, that ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. The truth shall make you free. There's not anything that can make you free from sin and free from death and free from gossip and free from the covetousness of this world or the gullible desires of the flesh. There is not one thing that can make you free except the knowledge of God. David of God said, And how can a young man cleanse his ways? David said, Thy Word have I hid in my heart oh God that I should not sin against Thee. I can cleanse my ways by taking heed to thy Word. And the Bible says, Thy Word, Lord, the entrance of Thy Word giveth light which means understanding. And we're told that this Word is mighty. For by His Word He created the heavens and the earth. And by the Word He said, Let there be and there came to pass. Even as to the creation of you and I, everything emanating from God, God said, Let there be and there was. And God the Word brought it into existence. And when the Bible speaks of the Word, the Word came forth, put on flesh and it dwelt among us and we beheld it as God or the Son of the living God. Whereas in the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the Word came forth and put on flesh. And He was in the world and the world knew Him not. And though He had made the world the world knew Him not; and it pleased God because the world did not recognize Him to save men by the foolishness of preaching. So then we know that Jesus Christ was God and the only God, and that the great God, the Heavenly Father is an Eternal Spirit, the Great Light. And that Jesus Christ was the embodiment of it or that Word was made flesh. Just like I say to you, you are a spiritual being. You are born into this world as a spiritual being and you are made flesh. You're spiritual being is made flesh. Your spirit is manifested in a human form. And everything that that body does it is your spiritual being that is doing that. It is the indwelling man that tabernacles in this little body that does all of those things that you do. And of course when you want to dispute that again all you have to do is go down to the morgue and you'll find laying still and cold within the casket the body or the little tabernacle. And you'll find that the inner angelic being has gone away and that this outer being that you esteem so much really profiteth nothing. Jesus said, And the flesh profiteth nothing. So when the spirit at death goeth back to God Who gave it, in that no man has power to retain the spirit at death, then that means that the little body is cold and still. Not only that but this spirit being on the inside that controls this little body or this little tabernacle he is responsible for your constitution as to a composure of human image. Now when this spirit leaves you then this little body that seems to be ever so important it begins to waste away. And it goes right back to the dust. From the dust thou art and to the dust thou shalt return. When the Lord come to realize that is when the Great Spirit come to realize that man did not retain his integrity with God at the act of creation, that the image in which he was made as to an eternal bliss, that would have been an eternal security, then God knew that he would go back to the dust. So in the image of God made He male and female after His own image. And He said to them, You're in the garden. Take control of the garden. Just eat and drink and be merry as we would say, have everything that you want. There is no sorrow, there is no heartaches, there is no problems. You're young and healthy and strong and so you will be. See, there was nothing to stop that until woman lead the way into problems and man followed her into the problems and becoming exiled from God, then they fell from that lofty state of being in His presence. For the Bible says, In His presence there is life. And when they fell to the low level, way down, down to the beast level then they were no more than they were when He took them from the dust. From the dust He had created those things. And so then they were no more as to an equality with God. They were then as to that of the dust and they were then accounted for as a beast. And being as a beast Satan taking advantage he took control of that body and he projected himself through that body for his own desire. He still does the same thing today. He injected himself into man and from that time on man became a beast; and some of them today are brute beast made to be taken and burned. But from that time on Satan took the body and today he hath control of all human bodies, men and women alike. He hath control of their body. And that's why lust is in the world today. The Bible speaks of sin saying sin is in the world because of lust. Eve lusted after the tree. The Bible speaks of the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. And from that time as to Satan enticing and drawing her attention to that that was his own image, that beastly image. And then when she was caught away in this thing as to this lust and this interwoven move of passions, then Satan injected himself into her just like as when David walked on the house top and he saw the woman as he did, when he saw the woman as he did, Satan enticed him and Satan injected himself into David. And from that time David could not rest until he committed adultery, not only committed adultery but committed murder and sinned against God. No reason because he had wives of his own, not a wife but wives of his own. There was no reason for him to take another man's wife. And when the prophet came and said to David, David a stranger came by and he spoke of this man that took a man's wee little lamb. Said, when this man had plenty, but he took the man's one and only little lamb and he slew it for himself to satisfy himself. And the prophet said, And thus it was, David. And David said, and who is the man. He's worthy of death. I'll put him to death. And he said, David, thou art the man. I gave unto thee many wives and would have given thee more, David, but you've took this one wee little lamb that laid in this man's arms and then David also committed murder. See, lust hath no end. It doesn't matter how many times you marry, it doesn't matter how many women that you defile or how many men that you overtake as the harlot, the pit, the deep ditch. You'll never be satisfied because there is a demon spirit on the inside and that demon spirit has a hold of you. And whether it's a demon as to lust of the flesh as to that of human passions, whether it is a demon of lust as to gossip, to backbite, to make money, to steal, to cheat, to murder, you kill one person you have the urge to kill another person. A demon of temper that you'll never be satisfied with that demon of temper. It will always enrage you and cause you to do that that you promise yourself that you will not do. And having a case of do better will not suffice. As I said today, trying to live a Christian life is not sufficient. Coming to church is not sufficient. Giving in the offering is not sufficient. Trying to preach the Word or do anything else is not sufficient. Coming to church is not Christianity. Trying to live right is not Christianity. Trying to live a Christian life is not Christianity. Trying to believe in God is not Christianity. Christ within you is Christianity. When you are born again it's Christianity. A person can talk about a newcomer into their home all they want to, but until the field of that woman receives the seed of life there will be no newcomers into the family. A man can go out and he can boast of the crop that he's going to make in his field, but there'll never be a crop until he puts some seed into the grown. And so then it's the same way, unless the seed of God falls into your heart, unless you partake of the seed of life as to this Paul saying, I travail until Christ be formed within you, until you have Christ on the inside you will never live an overcoming life. You will never be a Christian. You may religiously go on your way for ten long years, all of a sudden lust gets you and you fall into the trap. All of a sudden money gets you and your gone. All of a sudden something comes along, a gossiping spirit, a temper spirit. You hurt somebody, you kill somebody. You do something that's wrong. See, and you walk off and you leave God after all those many years of having supposedly been a Christian. It is Christ within you the hope of glory. It is Christ that sealed your spirit on the inside. It is Christ that makes you holy and Christ that makes you godly. It is Christ that makes you live the overcoming life. It is Christ that lives within the body of Jesus which bodily image was made after the fashion of your own sinful body and for that purpose as to make an end of sin. And it was Christ on the inside of that body that conquered it. And the Bible says, Though He was a son yet learned He obedience by the things that He suffered. Even becoming perfect He was made our author and finisher as to the Captain of our salvation and that of our faith. So then it was Christ on the inside of that body that conquered that body. It was Christ that took Him to the whipping post and Christ that took Him to Calvary. It was Christ that brought it up to the place to where the head and the hands could be bruised and the feet could be bruised and the back could be bruised. And folks, let me tell you, when you try to submit your body for the bruising and for the subjection you're going to find out there is a power of rebellion. Paul said, when I would do good, I find a law that evil is present with me and the good that I desire to do he said, I cannot do it. I cannot perform it. There is no way that I can perform it, Paul said. So the good that I would do he said I absolutely cannot do it. And you're going to find it to be the same way in your life. No matter how much you want too, no matter how much that you say that you're going to do it, when you're confronted with the temptation you're going to fall over into the hands of Satan and you're going to follow it just like David did because David did not have the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He had no constraint and he followed after it. But when you're born again and you have Christ on the inside, Paul said the love of God constraineth me and that which I cannot find as to a performance within this body he pointed out  Tape 1 Side 2)  Jesus Christ coming in the likeness of sinful flesh hath made the performance before God and in the presence of God that we need as a substantiation of works with faith that we might be perfect in the sight of God. And that our effort then was through the Spirit of that Christ that left that body to come into my heart as a tiny babe, as a divine conception, to start growing a little at a time like a little babe, until he put all of this flesh down and brought all of this flesh into subjection and caused every thought of my mind to completely go, until my mind is the mind of Christ and my thoughts is the mind of Christ, and my desires is the thoughts of Christ and all of my activities is the thoughts of Christ made manifest in my human body, to make manifest in this mortal body the life of the Lord Jesus. And folks, let me tell you the Bible says that this life that God gives which is eternal life is in that Spirit of His Son. He has sent that Spirit of His Son into your life into your spirit into your body crying, Abba Father. Now then we're no longer aliens but we are children, heirs and joint-heirs of the kingdom. And being children then are we partakers of the benefit of the Lord's Jesus. So David said, Forget not all of his benefits. I am the Lord God that healeth all thy diseases. I am the Lord God that forgiveth all of thine iniquities. And they said, Well, what must we do to work the works of God? He said, I am the works of God. This is the works of God which was finished from the foundation of the world, even the Lamb that was slain before the world ever was in your behalf. And Christ lived the perfect life as the performance of your natural being because your natural being could not and would not do it. And your natural being was taken to Calvary and your natural being was nailed to Calvary nailed to the cross that it might not be you living in the sight of God but that God may see Jesus Christ in every step and every stride of His life in the behalf of your spirit. And your spirit at death as to the crucifying of your body as to the outer man, the image of sin, the image of iniquity, that body being gone, your spirit went back to God who gave it for at death the spirit goeth back to God who gave it, the death of the body that is. And that spirit being interwoven with the Christ spirit is no longer your spirit and it's no longer you living on the inside because you are dead because of sin. But now it's Christ, the one that your interwoven with on the inside and this Christ is a holy, godly, pure one. And God has called us to holiness, He's called us to glory, He's called us to virtue. And today we are walking in the light as He is in the light. And the Bible says, If you're walking in the light as He is in the light, ye will have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse you from all sin. So it's evident that what Paul said we could not perform then Christ has performed it for us. But still we have this life on the inside and we are as from a little child. We are working our way as to a bodily submission in self-denial. We are working our way toward the full measure of the full stature of the perfect man Christ Jesus or we are bringing this body into subjection as we grow through our child hood as from the infant stages of a little baby, as into the teenagers as we say and on in the other ages as we grow up, we're going on to the full measure of the full stature by bringing this man to be exactly like Jesus, to be like Jesus, to be like Jesus. On earth I long to be like Jesus. And so then we're working this body into a place to where it will walk like Jesus, talk like Jesus, think like Jesus, be like Jesus, that it will be no more us living but Christ; and then will accept the fact that the body is dead and faith will come forth and the life of Jesus will swallow up this mortal being. And when the Spirit comes forth to swallow up this being, then this being will be swallowed up, and the Bible says, And death shall be swallowed up in victory. So that means that that inner life from glory to glory is moving to make manifest this wonderful knowledge of our wonderful, comprehending power in God as to our finished product or that is to say the purchased possession. So then what is the purchased possession? The purchased possession of course is the body. But the thing is though Christ purchased this, why then do we not have the benefit of it? We do have the benefit of it in the sight of God, but the benefit that we have is as to the purchased possession. That which was lost and that that wasn't lost was that image that Adam was made in as to the glorifying of the illumination. And that image Adam fell from and Eve fell from. And that image that was lost is that that Christ redeemed and brought back to us. And today that's what we are in the sight of God, in the image of God man was made. And when that image was lost God sent that preserving image; and today that preserving image being Christ and the restored image as that which was called the Son of God in the garden before Adam lost that son image, then that same image as the son of God Adam the second time is come. And today we are in the sight of God now as to the restoration of that image that was lost. And we're no more as to the feminine gender but we are sons of God and in Christ is neither male nor female. And the woman was only symbolic as to that which had fallen. And that's why the corruption is as it is in the world today when the Bible says, It shall come to pass that seven women shall take hold of one man begging for his name to take away her reproach, because she will go after things in the world so much and her looseness until finally she will be just like an old rage, she'll be just like an old I used the terms today to my wife, a woman of the world is like an old junky. She's just any old thing, you can just any old way, just any old thing will please her, just anything she'll put in her ears and her mouth and listen to or talk about or go out with or anything else, she's just an old junkie. But in Christ Jesus the woman is a lady. She will give herself to God. She will become holy. She will become pure. She will return back to her original state as it was before Eve sinned against God; and she is called God's elect lady, even the church the elect lady of God. And it is of the strength of man that the woman is dependent upon. And if she isn't going to be a junkie, it depends on whether or not her husband is going to be a junkie. If he's going to be a junkie and he's going to lust after everything and go after everything and want everything and desire everything in the world, and if he doesn't have any real Christianity, but just in this condition of hypocrisy, then his wife is going to turn out to be a junkie. For the Bible says, If the man will not do these things I've commanded him to do, his wife shall become a harlot and another man shall lie with her. And so then the Scriptures not being broken it happens just exactly that way. So then there is a church. There is a time as to now when we're finding out we're neither male nor female in the Spirit but we are Christians and we are the body of the Lord Jesus and we are members in particular. And as out of Adam Eve is but a by-product. But in Adam she is the original creation of God as when God made Adam He also made Eve and they were one. And the only way that you lose your originality with God as to that image that God has given you is when you fail to walk in Christ. And when you're not in Christ then you're nothing but a by-product and you're nothing but just a junkie. Something to be thrown away and the middle wall of partition as to your own human desire, your own human ego, your own human reasoning, which is Satan that savors the things that be of the flesh, interwoven with your body, this is your fall, this is your condition, this is the middle wall of partition that separates you from Christ in God as to make you the original creation of God. So with the Lord bringing this image back today, we realize that there is an inner man and there is an outer man. And though the outer man perish, yet the inner man is renewed day by day. And we've mortified the deeds of the flesh and we go after the things of God. We crucify the body and we take it to Calvary that the inner man might be released at death to go back to God who gave it. So then that makes it very clear that there is an inner man and there is an outer man. Of course I said something this morning I didn't have a chance to explain, maybe I ought to explain it. First of all as in Adam that's where the serpent is. And everyone that's born into the world of the natural Adam as to the first birth is the serpent. It is the serpent. I've heard people say, the serpent seed over here and the serpent seed over there. Let me tell you, everything that's born in Adam is the serpent seed as to the first birth. And in that first birth it must die. And I ask the question this morning, and the Bible says in Adam all die. Why does all die in Adam? Because it is the serpent seed. It is that spiritual thing of no good thing within my flesh, Paul said. And oh wretched man that I am. Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? And the thing as to Satan getting into the flesh of Adam which was Eve and then taking control of things. See, so it's very evident as to the allegory that as in heaven so in the earth. As God said to Jacob, Jacob, thy worm. I will help thee. Why did He call Jacob a worm as to a prince or as to the one that was to be the head of the twelve tribes of Israel? See, because as it is said in our days as to the metamorphosis it is first the worm and then the butterfly. Not all worms turn into butterflies. There's many worms that never turn into butterflies. They're not made with that potential on the inside. But there are those that are made with the potential that they go through the stages of the metamorphosis and they leave the shell and then you find out that they are a heavenly creature. And even though a butterfly, if you'll notice him with his beautiful wings, his covenant, as symbolic of that, we say, God put a rainbow in the spirit or in the clouds in our heart. See, when you go through the stages if you'll notice even after you come out of the stages, as though you are a beautiful thing, yet you take the wings are attached to a thing that still looks somewhat like a worm, as even to the butterfly. So then that means that we are as to potentially speaking made in the image of God, not as in the image of the serpent, nor in the image of the worm, but the Bible does say as a man thinketh in his heart so he is. That is to say whatever the mind is within this shell as the embalmers call it or within this tabernacle as Peter referred to it, whatever it might be as to the mind that's on the inside that that is what you are. As a man thinketh within his heart so he is. See so that means that if you have the mind of Christ then what are you? If you have the mind of man what are you? If the mind of man is interwoven with the powers of the devil, then what are you? But if Christ's Spirit comes in and Christ moves out the infiltration and God kills the worm image in His sight, then you are no more of the worm, but now you have passed from death unto life. And at death by Calvary to reckon yourselves to be dead in deed this body as unto sin, so or unto the world; then that means that you we are now released and we are the innermost spiritual being as to the butterfly. We are the heavenly creature. And now we've gone through the stages of the metamorphosis as to Calvary and the worm part is done away with; and today we have the mind of Christ and we are as a spiritual being dwelling in heaven with Christ. So then that makes us know that God has changed us. We're altogether different from the rest of the worms. We are no longer a worm but we only pass through the stages of the worm. That is the life of Adam. Adam was made in the image of God, not in the image of a worm. But when he lost the image of God he fell to the stages of the beast, or that is the beast was placed upon his belly to eat dust all the days of his life. And the Bible says, All of your labor is for your belly because you are upon your belly. From the dust thou art to the dust thou shall return. But we that are heavenly that is not so with us. Even as He brought them out, three million people back there as a symbolic thing and gave them manna from heaven, as soon as they got over the Red Sea as to we say the blood line or separating themselves from the worm. So today we're over Calvary. We're over the Jordan. We're over the Red Sea as to the blood bath of Jesus. And now we're over the carnal mind as to the Jordan. And now we've come into the new harvest. And in our day it's being made manifest in our human being as to the mind of Christ. This life of Christ, this Spirit of Christ being made manifest in our mortal genes that we might know that we're not the serpent seed, that we're not the worm, that we're heavenly creatures. And then where are we? We are sitting in heavenly places. Someone would say, Well, I know that that makes me to know that I'm not the worm because I am in a heavenly place. No that doesn't make you know anything. Because in Revelation 12 the Bible says, The serpent was in heaven. John saw him in heaven and from the time of the 483 as to the church ages over to the seven years unto the tribulation which is the church ages as to a heavenly thing, then that means that Satan is also as to the worm he's also religious. He's like Cain. He's also in the presence of God. As to the rain being on the just and on the unjust; but there's going to be a time when as to the resurrection of the casting away of the Jews be the reconciling of the world, what will be the receiving of the Jews but life from the dead? There's going to be a change. And with that we who are alive and remain the metamorphosis will show forth and we'll be changed into that beautiful heavenly one as the Lord descends from heaven with the trump of God and with the voice of the arch-angel we ourselves shall suddenly be changed and caught up to meet Him; so shall we ever be with the Lord. This is the thing that I'm speaking of as to now. We're moving from glory to glory, this inner man. We're no longer as to the outer worm. We are now the inner man as to the heavenly creature. And we are now equal to the angels. For the Bible says in the Spirit we are angelic and we are equal to the angels and the angels cannot die. Or that is the spirits cannot die. Spirits cannot die. I say this so often. Spirits cannot die. Human bodies can die, but spirits can't die. Spirits have to be destroyed. Only God can destroy them with what is termed as the second death. So it's very evident that we are different, not going to be different but we already are different. And we need to differentiate between the inner and the outer man. Are ye then the outer man? If ye are then the outer man, then you've never been born again. Because born again as to the birth is this Christ within you, Paul said. And we're travailing until that Christ within you be formed which is the inner man. For the body, God will not have, because the body is defiled. And the body must die. And the body has died by Calvary and God will not accept it from the first birth. It must go through the fire. And the only way it can go through the fire is by the body of Jesus that went into the grave, and the soul that went into hell, as to the spirit that went into glory. And with this dismantling or the dissecting of this as to bring you to a unionization on the other side as back to a completeness in God; then the grand finale of your life is that you are an angelic being, and that you have power over your body to make it appear and disappear, make it walk through the wall or do whatever you want to with it. It is yours eternally. It is a gift. I say so often, Michael and Gabriel and the different ones they do not have bodies. But you have bodies. See you are equal to the angels and you are an angelic being on the inside just like Michael and Gabriel, but you are different from them to the extent that you have a body and that body is the Master's body which is bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, which makes you the great superiority. That gives you the great power of superiority in that you are the Master Himself, the body itself. And all of the angels are made subject to you because you are the members of His body in particular. And in that you are the body of the Lord Jesus Christ then He said, I will make you to rule with a rod of iron and subject the nations to you as to people that are just natural people; and ye shall break them to pieces, just as one would break pottery. So then it's very evident that you are the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, members in particular, not to be but already are the sons of God. Now beloved are ye the sons of God. Now beloved are ye the sons of God. You already have power over death and you already have power over the enemy. You already have power over all things, but you've got to remember that it is the inner man that has this blessing and has this power. And to you a lot of you that's been born into the things of God, that you've got to subject this body. You've got to make this body conform. You've got to make manifest this heavenly treasure that's in your earthen vessel until the life of Christ is made manifest in your mortal genes. And the more that you can believe it, the more that you practice it, the more that you try to think like Christ and be like Christ, the more that you enjoy that invisible blessing of God that as all power given to you over all flesh and given to you over all power of the enemy, all of the evil things of the enemy which is called the works of the enemy. The Bible says, Jesus was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil. And so then we have power over all of the works of the devil. And I say this again beloved for your sake that you or whoever might hear this, there is no recording nowhere in the Word of God where God ever gave devils power over sons of God. There is no such. But there is one recording right after another that verifies the fact that God did give sons of God power over all devils. Let's give the Lord a hand. Somebody say, Hallelujah! So then you are more than conquerors and you're the victorian because Christ is that victory that overcometh the world, even your faith in His righteousness and what He wrought for you as to a performance in that you could not do it of yourselves. But we need to walk after the inner man and walk in the Spirit if we're born in the Spirit. And we need to put the flesh down. And we need to stop messing around with the feeble, beggarly elements of the world. You know I'm going to try to say this in closing. There is a lot of benefits that are given to the Jews. Paul spoke of this. What benefit is it in being a Jew as to speaking of Israel? Much in every way, chiefly in every way, said, Because to them were given the oracles of God and they're going to bring this thing as to a manifestation into the flesh. And it's going to be so. They will be set up as to the millennium, even as the vision that we saw. The crisis is already beginning to set in that takes to that. Now but Paul said on one occasion, and I can say this too as to a lot of people, even as to the Pentecostal people of today, there is so much ritualistics as to the teachings of Catholicism and even to Pentecostalism, of people that have varied from the Scripture and that have gotten themselves into an entanglement to be in bondage again to the beggarly elements of this world. Paul said on one occasion, he said, Why do you observe days? Do you observe days? Is there one day different from another day with you? Why do you observe days and why do you observe time and why do you observe season? Whereas somebody would say, Well Brother Pike, we have to observe the almanac if we're going to plant it, we're going to reap. The Bible says you don't have to do that. If you throw your seed into the grown and believe it will work. It wouldn't make no difference. Somebody said, Well you know it isn't going to come forth Brother Pike, in a winter time. Well how is it that they just brought us from beautiful flowers from Pete's Nursery up here and we are planting them in the grown? They said, These are the kind that blooms in the winter. Let's give the Lord a hand. See, God does what He wants to when He gets ready. So when it comes to these kind of things, we are suppose to believe in God. Paul said, I am afraid of you because you observe certain things. First of all you are not to observe any holy days. You are not to observe certain times and seasons as the Jews observe and acknowledge. You are not to observe these. You are a spiritual Jew and you're life is a spiritual life. And God is a Spirit. And remember I told you before that when Jacob was looking for his wife, Jacob going down into the land of Lebanon for his wife. He was not looking for Leah. He was looking for Rachel. You understand what I'm saying. Looking for his wife which was as to that that represented the Spirit, not that that represented the flesh. He only took that because he was tricked into it. He only took that because it was said unto him, you cannot have the younger sister before the elder. It is very definitely stated that the elder shall serve the younger as to the birthright. Even Jacob had received the birthright and Esau had lost it. Though we know that first birth and the world belongs to you as to the flesh being the first birth, the world belongs to you. But we know because of sin the world has as Esau lost the birthright and it's gone to the spiritual man as to the second birth which is Jacob. That's very evident as to what the Lord was saying. And here it was it was said it's not the laws of the land. You cannot do that. See, the laws of nature say that you cannot get that within the peanut hull until you get the hull. You cannot get the egg on the inside unless you have a shell that it can be formed it. The laws of nature say this that you reject you break you throw away that you don't want is always first. So the bodily shell as the embalmers call it. That bodily shell must be there. And as to the world that's the land of Esau. See, but you're crossing over into the land of Canaan and the shell if you live after the flesh then you die. Because there is nothing to the shell and the flesh profiteth nothing, but as to this Christ forming within the shell when the time comes as the little chick he pecks his way out of the shell, and so then it is folks, here we are as to Calvary, the rent veil and then comes forth the little chick. Jesus said, I would have as a hen gathered her chicks. I would have but you would not. You would not. Even to Israel. And so then we know that we are a spiritual being. We are made for another world. And that this shell and all of the world it passes away. For all that is of the world is the pride of life and the lust of the flesh and the world and the lust thereof passeth away, but he that doeth the will of God as to the inner man abideth forever. We look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. He that has been born again, he's passed from death unto life. And now we are a new creature and all things are new and old things have passed away. So then we walk not by sight but by faith. All right what can we then say to these things? What are we then saying to these things? That see, we are not as to the outer man but we are as to the inner man, and the outer man is now dead in that we don't sit around the graveyard mourning over the dead, neither do we go to comfort the dead, neither do we set a light among the dead. It is said that if you set a light among the dead you are cursed. In the Old Testament if they set a light among the dead as to their father, mother, whatever, they were cursed which means there are people in this world that are dead in trespasses and sin and you cannot call darkness light and light darkness. The Bible says, Woe unto the people that do that. And these people that are in their religious attire and religious stride this is why they are falling into the deep ditch of the great whore. For the Bible says, They that are abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein. They're setting a light by the dead. And they're telling all kind of people from baseball players to volleyball players and to swimming champs and everything that's in the world of athletes today that it doesn't matter, that they can continue in their corruption to lap their vomit and to wallow in the mire, that God loves them, and here is a light of understanding that says this is the gospel light. Folks, that's wrong. Trying to set a light by the dead God requires your life for that. See, so you cannot do that. We don't go set a light by the dead, but we are children of light. We're not children that are dead. We're not dead in trespasses and sin. We are alive forevermore. See, allegorically the natural dead. Spiritually there is deadness as to those that are dead in trespasses and sin, but we are alive forevermore. We once was dead but now we are alive forevermore because we are the body of the Lord Jesus. Therefore we are not observing times and days and seasons. As I've said to you concerning the Sabbath, do I keep, I hear people fussing about the Sabbath. Some says it's Saturday. Some says it's Sunday. Paul said, Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto God. That's his time of worship. And he that regardeth it not, he counts every day alike. He does not regard it. If he doth not regard it to God as a day of worship, he does not regard it. So then you are the people that everyday is the same to you. The Sabbath was only a type. It was only symbolic. That's childish to fuss about the Sabbath as to a certain day. There is no certain day of the Sabbath. There is nowhere in the Bible that you can prove that there is. See the Sabbath is from Calvary. We've entered into the day of the Lord. We sing that song, This is the day that the Lord has made. John did enter into the day of the Lord in that great, wonderful, spiritual thing. All those things were symbolic. We're not to observe those and fuss and feud over those kind of things. Even if there be one among you that eats herbs if he's weak and won't eat certain kind of meats, don't fuss with him about it. Let him do it. That's his business. Maybe you'll get him to see after a time that that's childish and he shouldn't do that. See, but if you fuss with him you'll offend him; and then if he goes and does something that's contrary to his convictions then he sins against God. Somebody would say, You mean that if he does go and eat meat Brother Pike, he sins against God? Eating meat hath nothing to do with it. It's his believing that hath to do with it. The Bible says to him that esteemeth a thing unclean to him it is unclean because it is the condition of his believing. Paul said, I am persuaded to believe there's nothing unclean of itself. See, and to the defiled and unbelieving is there nothing clean. And to them that is clean there is nothing that's defiled but him that defiled, even his conscience is defiled. So then it's very obvious that we are not bound with the tradition of the elders. We're not bound with days and seasons and time. We are the inner man and the outer man is dead and we are free. We are free. We are in a full release. Like the song I was singing in a night vision the other night I was singing: Hallelujah! I'm free! And in the vision I thought it was so, that that's what I was. I was free. See, so we are free. We are not under the bondage of the beggarly elements as to the bonds child of that which relates to the world. We're not tied to that by our human senses anymore. We're dead to the human senses. I don't, I'm going to close in just a few minutes. I don't reason over the human senses. If I go by the human senses, then when I am sick, I am sick. If I go by the human senses when I'm hungry, then I'm hungry. If I go by the human senses then because everybody dies, then I'm going to die. And when I die as you say, I'll be dead if I go by the human senses. Isn't that right? But I don't go by the human senses because that has to do with the outer man. He hath nothing to do with me. Jesus killed him at Calvary. He's a beast. I go by the inner man. I go by faith in God's Word. God's Word said it in the origin. As in the beginning it was so as to what God said. As to what I feel and see of this world, all is vanity. The writer said all of these things are vanity. I'm attached to vanity by human reasoning and human sense. And if that be so, I'm a creature of vanity. I'm a child of vanity. I'm a child of bondage. I'm a bonds child. I'm not the free child. But my spirit having gone back to God who gave it through faith, my faith in God as I walk not by sight, not by my human feeling, my human thoughts but I go by faith in God's Word. I say if there's something that's wrong physically I say it wasn't so in the beginning. In the  (Tape 2 Side 1)  back into the image of God. I had no sickness. I had no imperfection. I had no death. Age hath nothing to do with me. I am forever eternal and as God made me one in the Lord Jesus Christ. So then I'm now the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, members in particular. And though it does not appear to my human sight nor to your human sight, yet in the mind of God I already am this wonderful thing. And so it shall be at the coming of the Lord Jesus as to the change. And beholding as it would be as with an open face in a glass I am seeing the glory of God, and thus I am changed inside as from glory to glory in the spiritual man of the transitional changes unto His glory, being called unto virtue and glory. And I am changed into the very image of Jesus in that that life on the inside of Christ as my cup overflows David said, it is made manifest in my mortal genes, until the celestial glory that's within me called heavenly treasure is made manifest in my mortal genes until I am the god man and the Christ man. So then members in particular by faith we claim it. Calling those things that are not as though they are. Someone would say, But Brother Pike, if I am sick, how can I be well? By calling those things that are not as though they are. By saying because He said it: by His stripes I am healed. Because He said it: by His given blood I have salvation. And because He said it devils are subject unto me in His name. And because He said it, I have all power over flesh. I have all power over the enemy. And because He said it, nothing shall by any means hurt me. He said, Say what I will and that's the way it would be. So then I walk by faith in God's Word. As to my human senses it has nothing to do with it, nothing to do with it, nothing to do with it. All right so then we know who we are. We know where we're from. We know where we're heading. We know where we're going. So then we are children of God. And this inside man he is now a son of God. He is now a Christian. And the Bible tells us that this outer man dead. And there's no need to argue with him or fuss with him. Though we are wrestling against principalities against powers against rulers of the intellectual darkness, against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness that's in high places, yet we are not to yield to that. We are to fight the good fight of faith. How do I wrestle with them? By the mind of Christ I say the Word said it. And the mind says, But don't you see? Don't you feel? Doesn't that hurt? Say, The Word said it. Christ said it. The Word said it. And finally those devils and demons will go away and the lying vanities will fade away because all the world is nothing but a lying vanity and Satan is the god of this world as to the lying vanities. And there's nothing but the clouds and they dissipate when the sun shines through. So we know that we need to listen to the inner man, even Christ within you the hope of glory. And that your inner being should be interwoven with the Word to meditate in His laws day and night until you don't have another thought. And if you don't have another thought, then you won't be able to acknowledge any of your outward problems. Because if you don't have another thought you won't think any other thoughts. That's the way it will be. As a man thinketh in his heart so he is. Did you know they have come to realize that a man that's lost his mind completely that they can afflict his body and he doesn't feel the pain. That's right. There's certain things that they can do to certain people that they feel no pain at all because they have no acknowledgement of it. See, and that's not the way this is. But folks, this is a reality. This is Christ on the inside and you actually believe it into existence. You actually come to know that that is an absolute fact. That you are alive, that you are healed, that you are strong, that you are healthy, that you are prosperous, that all things do work together for your good, that Satan doesn't have any power over you, that you do have all power over him. You not only can control your life, but you can cast devils out of other people in His name and drive devils away from other people in His name. Isn't that wonderful? That's wonderful! All right let's stand together and sing a little chorus. If we know that God is truth, and in the origin it was God because there was no origin until God came forth. God the Great Light the Invisible One no days and nights, no times, no seasons with God. He was, He is and forever shall be. And the only beginning when it says in the beginning is the beginning of you and I and the beginning of the act of creation. And He was there before the beginning or there would have never been a beginning. So in the beginning was God. And the word God means object of worship. Or in the beginning of our transitional stride of time we have to have something to tittle God with. And the only thing that can tittle Him with is God, the word God meaning object of worship. So then the Great Light as the writer said unto which no man can approach, whom no man has seen nor can see. Jesus Christ alone dwelling in that light hath immortality. So if I confess the Word then I have acknowledged and I have spoken the truth in that He is the High Priest of my confession. I believe the Word. I hide the Word in my heart. I confess the Word calling those things that are as though they are not, and those things that are not as though they are. Speaking the world out of existence even as God spoke it into existence. So then I acknowledge God. I acknowledge that truth is God. The Spirit of Truth in the world today, the Spirit of God. And Jesus said to Pilot that I've come to witness of the truth. And Pilot wanted to know what truth was. And God is truth. God's Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. God's Word is the word of truth. And you can get forgiveness for all sins, except speaking against the Spirit of Truth. When He the Spirit of Truth which is Christ is come, when He is come He will reprove the world of sin. The world cannot see Him but you see Him. Through your understanding you will comprehend the heights and depths, width and length of this great glory of this wonderful light that will dwell in you and tabernacle in you. So then truth, what must I do? If I be a creature of truth, I confess truth. If I am a creature of this world, I will acknowledge the lying vanities because I am of the lying vanities. I am of the intellectual geniusy of the lust and covetousness of the world and of money and the frolics of life. But if I confess Christ and the things of God that it is true, then do I have the mind of Christ. And then am I of the world of truth. And my confession is of truth and I am not of this world. I therefore do not confess the vanities of this world, nor acknowledge the powers as to the superiority of the vanities of this world but being of the other world I confess my King and His power. All right so then what do I do when I acknowledge the lying vanities of this world? I see those things. Those things are there. I can scientifically say, Yes, that's there. That is that lying vanity that I'm observing. That is there but it's only a lying vanity. It is not real. It does not exist. It must pass away because it wasn't so in the beginning. But I acknowledge truth and I witness by God, by the works of God that by His stripes I am healed. I am healed. Did God lie when He said that? Am I to call God a lie and acknowledge the vanities of my little old human sight as to these twenty-two conductive nerves from my eye to my brain, or am I to acknowledge truth as to the infallible God that exists beyond human reasoning and beyond human creation or human existence? See, I witness the truth. I bear witness of the truth. I speak of the truth because it is truth. And if I acknowledge it through believing I confess it with my lips. It becomes part of my being. And everything will have to change and conform to that wonderful thing of Almighty God. But before it comes to pass I call those things that are not as though they are because I walk not by sight as to the acknowledgement of lying vanities by reason of my human senses, but I acknowledge the Word of God as to the steadfast infallible Word of God that has been every since the world has begun, and before the world as to the spiritual Christ. All right so let's walk after the inner man and let's walk in the Spirit. Let's thank God for His wonderful blessing. If God says that we have through these words He hath given us great and precious promises, then let's remember that through these promises the Bible says, He hath given us all things that pertain unto life. Joy, happiness, peace, prosperity, blessing and let's thank God for it. Let's walk in the spirit. Let's walk by faith. Let's accept it. Let's go on. Let's don't reason. Let's don't think as to one thought. All cast down when it's contrary to what He said as to His knowledge. Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free for the truth is God's Word of understanding and light. The world will never comprehend this Brother Pike, our Brother Taylor, though it shines in the midst. Brother Taylor can't comprehend it. Brother Pike can't comprehend it. The world can't comprehend it. But if we be the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and members in particular then we can comprehend this great, wonderful light. We cannot receive anything save it be given you of God. Let's sing together, can we? (Sings) Can you sing that with me? (Sings) Let's sing this little chorus together can we? (Sings) Sing this. (Sings) Sing that with me. (Sings) Can you sing it one more time? (Sings) One more time together. (Sings) One more time. (Sings) Somebody say, Hallelujah! (Sings) Can you sing that with me? (Sings) Let's sing this little chorus? (Sings) Can you sing it one more time? (Sings) Let's just lift our hands together. (Sings) Once again now. (Sings) I'm going to ask Brother Willie Holt to come up and dismiss us if Willie will. (Sings) Can you just sing it one more time? (Sings)
