God's Plan Of Redemption

... use their faith. They've never at any time been pressed out of measure to have to call on the name of the Lord for a real need and have Him to meet their needs. They talk about believing God and how God supplies their needs and indeed He does. But they are the ones that's always striving, trusting in their strength and in their powers of ingenuity and in their ability. And their faith is no more than if something happened to where they could not do what they feel that they should do to have provisions they would panic. But real faith holds on. Real faith doesn't waver. Real faith doesn't falter. It always wins the battle. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even your faith, your faith in what He did as He overcome the world, when He said, Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. I ask Him one time, I said, Well, what do you mean, Lord, for me to be of good cheer because you've overcome the world? I said, I got to overcome the world before I can really be of good cheer. And He said, son, this is you overcoming the world. When I overcome the world said, I did not overcome the world for myself. I had no reason to overcome the world for myself. I created the world and all of the things therein. I did not fall into sin but you fell into sin and I come to overcome the world for you. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, the faith that you put in Me or the confidence that you put in Me as to My righteousness toward you and My love and goodness toward you. Because I have overcome the world you rejoice and just believe that. And you've automatically overcome the world. So it's so beautiful what God has done for us. It's so wonderful. It's joy unspeakable and full of glory. People who are always striving to overcome the world and striving to live a Christian life, striving not to do this or to do that, you know, they're very miserable people. They are suppose to be Christians. And they'll testify about God and how they love God and tell you how that they're I barely made it but I'm living an overcoming life I tell you. It takes all my time trying to pray and fast. And by the time they get through testifying you know already if you really know God you've already wished they'd set down at least ten times. Because you know that everything that they've said is but a testimony of their own ability, of their own achievement in life, and that all they're doing is just saying something over and over as to what they've done. They fasted and they've prayed and they've struggled and they've done this and they've done that. And oh my God, what a mess? Let's give the Lord a hand. I thank God for this joy unspeakable and full of glory, not because I'm good but because He's good, not because I prayed but He prayed until His blood, His sweat became as great drops of blood. He mourned and prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. And today because He is resurrected from the dead, I live. Hallelujah! I can feel the Holy Ghost witnessing to that. And it's not I that's living but it's the Holy Ghost living within me and it's Christ within you the hope of glory. And this life I now live I live by the Son of God even in my flesh, Paul said. Hallelujah! Let's give Him another hand. My, my, my! All right so that's what makes me happy. When you realize that you didn't do it, then you don't have anything to boast about. The Bible said, It's not of works lest any many should boast but it is the gift of God. And since He did it all He paid for everything. He took away my sin. And when He took away my sin He took away my sickness. And when He took away my sickness He took away death. First there is sin, and then there is sickness and then there is death. And the Lord took every bit of it away. Every bit of it away and today I'm rejoicing because He hath made me whole body, soul and spirit. Somebody said, Well Brother Pike, don't you have any problem? I just have them it looks like by the bushels. I hope that isn't exaggerating because that's the way it looks to me. I have them. You say, Well how often do you have them? From the time that I open my eyes in the morning if I slept that night. From the time I open my eyes until I open my eyes again the next morning. Let's give the Lord a hand. That's how many problems I have. Somebody would say, Well, I don't believe that. Well, I'd be a liar and then I'd have my part in the lake of fire. But I have them just exactly that way. Let's give Him another hand. All right but His grace is sufficient. His strength is sufficient. His blessings are sufficient. And we are they that walk by faith not by sight. We walk by faith. And God has given us great and mighty promises. Do you know what great and mighty promises are? He hath given unto us great and mighty promises. You know if I promise you something, if I say, Brother Hollis, I promise you such and such you know. I promise him such and such. That would be a promise but not a great and a mighty promise. But that would be a promise. But if I was able to do what God was able to do for Brother Hollis, then I could make him a great and a mighty promise. And in those promises the Bible said that He hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life. Everything that pertains unto life belongs to me in this world and in the world to come because of those great and mighty promises. That's why I love to read this book. I love to tell the story of Jesus and His glory. I love to tell the story of Jesus and His love. This, this book with it's great and precious promises, it promises me that by His strips I'm healed. It promises me that I have eternal life, that I have eternal wealth. I have eternal strength. I have eternal happiness, eternal youth. I have eternal power. I have eternal majesty. I have eternal glory. The Bible said, And in that day ye shall have no need for the sunlight. And in that day ye shall have no need for the moonlight. For the Bible said, He is our everlasting light and He is our glory. Let's give Him another hand. And He hath called us to glory and to virtue. Hallelujah! That's why I rejoice because He is alive in my soul. And I'm so happy because He did it all. He delivered me. Sin hath no more dominion over me. Sickness hath no more dominion over me. Poverty hath no more dominion over me. Death hath no more dominion over me. I'm free, I'm free, I'm free. Hallelujah! I'm free! Glory to God! I'm free, hallelujah! I don't have to wake up in the morning and start figuring out how to get free or what I'm going to do to stay free. I'm free eternally. I'm free eternally. I can't do anything but be happy. The Bible said, Rejoice forevermore. So the devil comes around. We have our problems and we wrestle with the devil you know. You wrestle with the devil and I wrestle with the devil; and the Bible said we wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places and against principalities and powers of darkness. But in every trial the Bible said, We are more than conquerors. We're not just conquerors. If I did something and I conquered it I would be a conqueror. But see in that Jesus did it and I did not do it, then He did it so greatly and so mightily, not as to conquer to become a king but rather a King of kings. Not as to become a lord, but rather a Lord of lords. And whatever He did He did it in such a masterful way that I'm not just a conqueror, I'm more than a conqueror. Hallelujah! Because He did it every bit for me. That makes me happy. No wonder He said, Rejoice forevermore. No wonder this is joy unspeakable and full of glory. In the beginning was the Word and that same Word came forth as God, manifested itself in a human body; and today He desires to manifest itself in my human body and your human body. And that God is joy unspeakable. He is full of glory. Hallelujah! So then I say that's why that I say a lot of people don't know God. A lot of people really don't know God. You know the Word is God. He sent His Word and the Word was God. And the Word healed them. He sent His Word and the Word was God and God cast out the unclean spirit. The Word came forth and spoke the world into existence. And the Word said, Let there be and there was. And so you came into existence. Hallelujah! Don't that make you happy to think that He done everything and we're His children. And the Bible said, If we're His children then we are partakers of the benefit. I am His child. I am His child. You may not feel like you're His child but I'm His child. You say, Oh you don't know. Oh yes, I feel the Holy Ghost running through me right now. The Bible said, And His Spirit beareth witness with my Spirit that I'm His child. And if a child, I'm a son and and I'm an heir; and inside of me there is the Holy Ghost, His Spirit crying, Abba Father! Abba Father! I cry, Oh my Father. Hallelujah! My Father! Well anyway it's wonderful to be a Christian. So let's start glorifying God not testifying about the giants. The one thing that upset God was those that went into Canaan. When He sent spies into Canaan they came back, and they came back complaining. They said, The grapes of Eschol are beautiful, but my, the giants are so big there's no hope for us. And this upset God. And God sware while He was angry with them in His wrath, you'll never enter into Canaan, into My rest, He called it which was symbolic. And if they as to whom God had given the rest did not enter into it, then therefore there remaineth a rest for God's people. And the Bible said, Let us fear lest we fail to enter into that rest. And if there is a rest for God's people the Bible said, He that hath ceased from his own works has entered into God's rest. So then coming into the knowledge of God ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Coming into the knowledge of God, growing in the grace and knowledge, to know God, they that know God in the last days shall do great and mighty exploits. And coming to know God even the Word, as to every generation the same; this Word that was Spirit and life, then you begin to understand that it's not works lest any many should boast. And you begin to cease from your work as you begin to believe your way as even Enoch, the Bible, the seventh from Adam, the Bible said that Enoch believed God. Before his translation he had this testimony that he pleased God. And Paul brings it to the New Testament as a substantiation of the same, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever saying that without faith it is impossible to please God. Therefore being saved by the grace of God through faith, that is just by His love as to what He done through Christ Jesus, just by you believing in it, then we'll receive salvation. For it shall come to pass that whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. All right again someone would say, Well, Brother Pike, why do you stress works so much? Why do you always say fast? Why do you say pray, why do you say study, why do you say live holy and godly and pure until the very intents of your heart agree with God, and until every thought is brought into subjection to the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ? Why is it that you do that? To make manifest in your mortal genes this heavenly treasure that you have in your spirit that was given to you by grace. And this being made manifest in your mortal genes makes you all powerful; and you enjoy within your natural beings even now as a first fruit of the blessing of that which God has given you. You enjoy that in your natural body while you're waiting for the change. Because as I said as a man that has put a security up for his children, he's gone on to be with God, he's left it there. And guardians over it and the children doesn't have power over it until they mature. In that Bible said, You differ nothing from a child until the bar mitzvah until you come into manhood. But it is a true fact that the guardian can always call on that source and always get something out to get the new shoes with and a little coat when he's cold; and whatever the little one might need he hath the power to do that. God gives His angels charge concerning us. They bear us up in all of our ways lest at anytime we should dash our foot against a stone. And the wonderful ministering spirits as the angel of the Lord is always with us, always with us, always with us, always with us. So it's so thrilling to know Jesus, to love Jesus, to know God, to love God, to have Him as your fellow and to submit yourself to Him. And not only be trying to incorporate Him into your lifestyle and into your program and into your plans and be filled with zeal without a knowledge as it was with the Jewish people, but incorporate not Him into your plans but allow Him to incorporate you within His plans. And it will be a wonderful, wonderful day. Let's give the Lord a hand. All right if you love the Lord say amen? How can you love the Lord if you're doing it all? If you're doing it all how can you love the Lord? You'd want the Lord to love you. How can you praise the Lord if you're doing it all? Why don't the Lord praise us? Whereas He does praise us in a good thing. But see, since He did it all we already have it. The only thing is I want to subdue this body. The Bible said, Save yourselves as to your body in that the body said, to love your wife as yourself and your neighbor as yourself. And we're speaking of self not self-righteousness, but self as to His righteousness being made manifest within self. Save yourself as to this body from this untoward generation. Conform to the ways of God. Transform your mind to the mind of Christ. Translate your spirit as to the new birth into the Spirit of Christ. If you translate your spirit by new birth into Christ then the life of Christ will take it. It will make it's way into the flesh. It will develop the mind of Christ and the mind of Christ will transfigure your outer body to bring you into the celestial glory to which you are called, even to the virtues of God by pulling away from the non virtuous life that you lived, and this will result in the divine conception as with Mary. And then this will develop into the bodily presence of your own being; and yet not you in that you're dead by Calvary and not you living but Christ; and you'll be standing there as the flesh and bone of Almighty God, as the Son of God Himself which was the tabernacle of God. So as to whatever measure you'll give yourself to it then this it should be. Life and beauty and radiance and glory and strength to never, never fail. You know a Christian the Bible said, His strength shall be as his day. And the reason for that is because God's strength never fails. He said, I'm your strength. Be courageous. Be of a good courage for I am your strength. I will not fail you. I will not forsake you. Lo, I'm with you always even until the end of the world. Even as the angel said when He come and put the ring on my finger or the Lord and then seeing the angel afterward. But anyway, I'm simply saying that we have a challenge. And I remind you of this so often we have a great challenge. Folks, listen to me. A man is nothing. He is a worm. Believe you me he is a worm. It doesn't matter if he's a great entertainer, if he's a president, if he's a king, if he has all of the things that life hath to offer, even as it was with Solomon. A woman is nothing but a worm. They're just a worm. From the first birth unto death, even Adam the fallen worm. But when you come to God, you pass through Calvary as to the metamorphosis, you are no longer as that as of the dust and to the dust, but you are a heavenly creature. You are a spiritual being. You are as to the butterfly. And you are in the covenant and presence of God and you are no longer a worm. You are a god. You are a god, a member of the god body. You are a god and you are eternal and everything belongs to you. Everything belongs to you. That's the challenge that God has set before you. And we say, Well how can this be Brother Pike? With a pure heart. It takes a pure heart. We're just going to dwell on that, that for just a few minutes tonight as to make mention of a pure heart. All right what we have to do brethren, sisters in the Lord, what we have to do, see, we have to learn as I've said before that there is as it was said with Jesus that He made in Himself twain. He made in Himself twain. He made in Himself twain both Lord and Christ, making in Himself both Lord and Christ. See, and the reason for that was that He might rend the temple. Rend the veil of the temple in twain. Let's take a look at the greatest book that was ever written. I hear people say, Well, it's just a book. It's just a printed page. I refer to it as that sometimes as to make a point. But if you think I mean it's just a common ordinary book you misunderstand altogether, altogether. These words are spirit and they are life. Even though it is a printed page, this book I have as recent had people to dispute with me over this book as to say, Well, men wrote that book. Men wrote that book. And that is true. I cannot dispute that. Men wrote this book. But the Bible says that this book is of no private interpretation. For even though men wrote this book, they wrote this book as they were inspired of the Holy Ghost, or it was the Spirit of Christ upon them and in them that had the pen that used those fingers to write this book. Just as it was the fingers of God that wrote the book of Moses as it was written in the ingraving of the stones. So it is this wonderful book that I love and these great and mighty promises. Some people they let this book lay around. And while this book is laying around just gathering dust, they don't have any idea as to what greatness there is right at their fingertips. The Bible says concerning the Jews it says that they had the Word of God. They had the Word of God. You know when you think of this book, that's one thing. But when I say to you that they had the Word of God, a lot of people are so natural that when you say the Word of God they think: that's the Bible. That's how natural they are. They say, Now that's the Bible, the Word of God. Oh no, the Word of God before there was ever a Bible as to the printed page the Bible said, the Word of God or the Word of the Lord came unto the prophets. God is the spiritual expression of Christ. He is a Spirit. And Jesus is the Word expression of that great God. And as we say so often the image in which you was made to be god. Adam was called the son of God. And that was because he was made in the image of God. And he lost that image. And that image never came to us again down through the generations until Calvary. And then that is speaking of us a people. Then it came at Calvary. And Paul getting the revelation said, And Jesus Christ the expressed image of God or the second man Adam or the restored image that was lost; or then came Jesus as to the image in which we were made as to that image that was lost. And when it came to Calvary then He made you bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, bringing you back to the same wonderful image that was lost, because He was the given or expressed image of the very likeness as that as to what you were made in, that was the image. And it came back to you through the shed blood of Jesus and through His wonderful kindness. We ought to be so grateful, so very, very grateful. All right I want to read just a little bit. Reading over in the book of Saint Matthew chapter 27, forty-third verse. (Reads: Saint Matthew 27:43-54) Now I just want to dwell on those thoughts for just a few minutes there. And then I'm going to try to let you go. First of all the one thing I'd like to impress on you is, is the Bible says in the book of Acts, Acts means the acts of the apostles or what they did in deed. It's recorded as the acts. Whereas Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is not the acts of the apostles, though they did many things in these books, it isn't recorded as that. Because in the book of Acts then the Holy Ghost had already come. They had already been filled with the Holy Ghost and it was the acts of Christ Jesus within His body as members. But in the full gospel it is Jesus. It is Christ in the very Jesus body and carrying on His works. So then in the Acts of the Apostles when the revelation is made known, Paul receiving the revelation, we're told by him and by Peter as Peter received things that He made in Himself twain. Twain means two. He made in Himself twain both Lord and Christ. So it was evident that He made in Himself both Adams as to the first and to the second, as to the one as to the falling away, delivered for our offenses. And God took Him to Calvary and there at Calvary God smote Him. Why? Why did He smite Him? Because He had caused us all to sin. The first man Adam had caused us all to sin. And the Bible says that because of the sins of Adam, all men die. And in Adam all die. And because of the sins of one man the penalty of death was upon all people. So that in the first man Adam, all die. And God had to punish the first man Adam. Even though Adam was not in the transgression, he was not in the transgression, and yet he was to blame. Because Eve was his body, Eve was his flesh. Therefore he took the punishment. And being innocent yet He was put out of the garden to the crucifixion of toiling among the thorns. And so when Jesus came it showed this innocent Adam in this sense, that the innocent Adam was that that was in the Garden when he was the son of God. And the second man Adam were Adam the second time as to the man that was in the Garden, even the head of all creation. So that which fell from the garden, once it fell from the Shekinah of God it was no more the male but the female. And then it was the guilty one as no more Adam the son of God, but it was Adam as to Mrs. Adam, as to Eve, as to that that had given herself to the wrong understanding, to the wrong thinking and had lusted after the things of the world with her eyes and fell into a degenerate state and there it was. And there she was under the control as to Adam under the control in that Adam controlled her, Satan within Adam controlled him. Because he had fallen to that level of that intellectual reasoning by agreeing with Eve and partaking of what she had done in the original transgression. So then we see that with Adam being put out of the garden, then there came the day when this Adam as that that was in the Garden, the innocent Adam had to come back to this world or into this world as it was in the Garden, had to come into this world, but He had to come in the image of the feminine part as to that of the Adam that had fallen, that that might be taken to Calvary, and the wrath of God might be poured out upon that that had committed the great transgression and brought death upon all his people. And in doing this it was God's way to eradicate evil, sin and infiltration, sickness and death and sorrow and poverty from the human family or to eradicate from Adam the infiltration of Lucifer that had come to Him as through the weakness of the flesh as to the female as to the woman to do away with this once and for all, because that was the only way He could redeem His creature. So then in the redemption of His wife then came this great wonderful Christ within a human body that's called Jesus. And so there was twain. There was two: Lord and Christ. And so then Adam is the Lord of the house over all of the house. Because of the sins of one man all men were under the penalty of death. And then God finally punished that one man. He destroyed that one man. He gave His only Son in the image of that one man, in the image of sin, folded up the law by His righteousness, laid it away. And today we're not under the law. We're not under the transgression because transgression is of the law and we're not under sin because sin is the trans...(Tape 1 Side 2)...and we're not under death because death is the sting of sin that's caused by the transgression of the law. And so then we are free. We are alive forevermore. We cannot die. I tell you this over and over, we're not telling you fairy tales. We're not trying to stress something that is an illumination of your mind to encourage you, to work you up into a high as they say in the world, so that you can just fall back down again. It is a profound fact that we are eternal and we are alive forevermore. Someone would say, But Brother Pike, you don't really believe that you're eternal. I really do believe I'm eternal. Of course I'm eternal. How can I be bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh and not be eternal? How many of you believe He's eternal? Of course, we are eternal. This is what brings the generation that is of our day or in this coming thing to the place to where they don't have to be put in a casket, to where they don't have to be put in a casket, to where they don't have to go by the grave. Somebody you know I say this so often people act like that death is a fellow to God, that it's you know the right hand fellow to God. Death is an enemy of God. Death didn't come by God. God didn't instigate death. God didn't create death. Death came by man. That's an instigation of man. Death came by man. And it had to be put away by man. That's why as all have sinned and come short of the glory of God being blamed by the sins of Adam. That is why that the man Christ Jesus came as to that lost image within that female body as to what we understand spiritually. And it was taken to Calvary and the wrath was poured out and the man took her place and suffered for her as to the image; and yet it was still the female paying for it. And there the birth came forth as the Christ was born out of the wounded side of Christ or Jesus. And so then in the great travail that John gives it in Revelation as the woman standing on the moon with the sun about her head and the stars as stars within the crown. That is to say the gospel light of the great Holy Spirit. And the Apostolic leaders as stars in the crown and the moon going back to that beyond Calvary as to the law and the prophets. These things and her adorned and glorified in her wonderful glorious apparel; whereas he said, Put on your beautiful garments Zion. Now your light has come. Now your glory is come. Now you are clothed with the glory of God. And the little lilies cannot compare with you. You are clothed with the light of God because we're on this side of Calvary now and all of your sins are gone. And God hath taken you from the power of darkness and translated you into the marvelous kingdom of light; or that is you're no more in your ignorance as that that you cannot understand in your ever learning through your intellectual egos of colleges and whatever; but you are now of a good understanding, born of Christ and you now have the mind of God; and this is the radiance of that light that dispells the darkness as to the sun coming over the horizon of your life and shining as to the daystar, which the sun is called as in the natural, this Christ in your life until the daystar dawns within you. And the Bible said, He that overcometh I will give to him the bright and the morning star which is the mind of Christ within you, Christ in you that wonderful hope of glory. Well anyway, it's so wonderful. The half has never been told. Now we realize then that as to the female, then God smote evil. And sin and death upon all by one man, it was just necessary for one man to live right. If one man lived wrong and I died, then one man lived right, I am alive forevermore. If sin was caused by one man and everybody brought under sin because of one man Christ Jesus or Satan or Adam as we say Satan in Adam; now if I am dead, if I am sinful, if I'm corrupt, if I've lost my life, if I'm doomed for the avis, because of that then Christ Jesus just one man is all God needed to live the right kind of life to live a holy life and to come to Calvary and pay for my sins and now I have no more sins. He's taken them all away. Now then sin hath no more dominion over me. Sickness hath no more dominion over me. Death hath no more dominion over me. Poverty hath no more dominion over me. And the door that John saw open in heaven at the end of the church ages was the rent veil. It was the rent veil. It was the same door that Peter opened when he looked beyond the veil saying: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And looked on the inside and he said, Here is the key, Peter. The veil is now rent in twain. So Peter opened the doors to the Gentiles and boasted with the brethren how that God made a difference between him and the brethren to chose him to go down to Cornelius' and open the door to the Gentiles and had opened it to the Jews. Now when we think of it like that, then what have I done? What can I do? If I didn't do anything to save myself, what can I do to keep myself saved? See, this was given to me in the foreknowledge of God in His mind, in the mind of God before the world ever was. And my righteousness was wrought in Christ as to the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world in the mind of God and was manifested in the time of human beings as to that age of Calvary. In that the Bible says and in the fullness of time God sent forth His Son. Why did He do that? Because in the fullness of time it meant that Abraham's promise as of Isaac pointing to Jesus that the time had now come for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham 430 years before the law justifying man by faith, calling Abraham the father of the faithful, who loved God so much that He was willing to offer His son as a symbolic toward Calvary and the Son of God. So then the law was added because of transgression not to save us. If there had been a law that could have saved us, Jesus would not have had to die. This was Paul's dispute with Peter. So the Lord sent the law not to save us, but it was imputed because of transgression. It was given unto man and imputed only when man comes to a knowledge of it. And if he does then he's guilty of death. But if he doesn't then where there is no knowledge of the law sin is not imputed. So then the law was added because of transgression until the seed should come unto whom the promise was made, even the Lord Jesus Christ which came at Calvary. And then when it came at Calvary, as to the promise being fulfilled, there He was the seed was standing there. As to the promised being fulfilled, there was no more need for the law. The law was then taken away, because there was no more need for the law. Because the law was not given to save but was added because of transgression or it came to magnify sin and make sin exceedingly sinful the terms that Paul used. Or magnify your wrongs or magnify your shortcoming or to show that you was separated from God and why that you were dying was because the impurities of evil was in you. And the thing that was separating you from God, it wasn't the law. The thing that was separating you from God was your iniquities that had been conceived within your body because God could not look on iniquity. And even in iniquity did your mother conceive you. And it was an image of iniquity. So when the angel said that Jesus will come and make an end of sin and of iniquity, it meant He would destroy this outer man. For He made in Himself twain. And this outer man as to the beast image He would destroy it. And He would bring back again the wonderful lost image that was called the son of God before Adam fell from the garden. So we see that we are sons of God. Now beloved are ye the sons of God. It does not yet appear what ye shall be like as to looking on the flesh. But we're not to know each other after the flesh. We've known Jesus after the flesh as coming as the beast body, to make an end of the beast body, that that sinned against God in the garden. But we're not to know Him after the beast body anymore, because the last man Adam was made a quickening spirit. He came as to the first man Adam in this form and in this body and He paid for the sins of the first man Adam. And then He was changed to a quickening Spirit, sown in weakness, raised in power, a natural body, Paul said, raised a spiritual body. So then we know that He was made a quickening Spirit. Knowing then that we also are born as living souls. Now then the soul that sinneth shall surely die. It has been taken to Calvary and the body is dead because of sin. And now we're no longer as it was a living soul but we are a quickening Spirit. For we are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. And in that He was made a quickening Spirit so then are we a quickening Spirit. We've passed from death unto life. We're now in heaven and not in earth. We are now those that dwell in heaven. We don't dwell in earth. And every since Calvary as to the 490 years, when seven years was severed from the 490 as to 490 years being all of the time left in the days of Daniel for the world. When the seven was severed, it went over as to what we call the end of the world, the other stopped at Calvary. This was the rent veil. This was the open door. And this was the separation of the spirit and the body. As He made in Himself twain both Lord and Christ. And this was the separation in that the Jew shows the body and the Lord part. But the Gentile shows the spiritual Jew at Calvary and the Christ part. And so then they were separated. But yet the wonderful mystery of what Paul taught was that God would reconcile both into one body even into Christ. And that no longer would a man and a woman be twain, but they would be one flesh in that Eve was taken from Adam in the beginning and was His bone and flesh. So then if the Lord, if the Lord is our husband, then are we as the body. We are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. For I have royal blood flowing through my vein, even the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as the new life as the new blood cell of the new man Adam. And today I am bone of His bone and I'm flesh of His flesh. I am alive forevermore. I once was dead in trespasses and sin. Now I'm alive forevermore. And Christ on the inside of my spirit hath through my spirit, my spirit and His being one, He hath taken my spirit as the female and His Spirit as the male; and now I as would be Eve as to be the bride of Christ as to the natural, Eve lost by sin, but reconciled as it would be through Christ, now I am the new body, resurrected from the dead, buried with Him in baptism, crucified with Him at Calvary, now I'm raised again from the dead. I'm justified from all things by grace that the law could not justify me in. So I find myself now. My inner spiritual being married to the Christ. And now it is no more I that live, but I am interwoven as the spirit on the inside with the Christ that is on the inside and my spirit and His spirit is interwoven and through that He hath married my body. So then He hath married unto me. And He said, Woe unto you if you backslide for I am married unto you. For He hath healed our backsliding and He's carried away our backsliding; and there's no way that we can backslide on God anymore. It's not possible for us to backslide. Though we use the terms backsliding, and it is backsliding to the extent that you get careless and you don't go on with God and you don't do the things that you ought to do as your natural conformity and surrender to God; but in all reality there is no such thing as backsliding as to the terms of the Old Testament backsliding which is an actuality of backsliding. Because you can't backslide. He is married to you. And that means that wherever you're at He's there and you're one with Him. And you're always His because you are married to Him and being married to Him then you are His bride. Let's give the Lord a hand. All right so we know that He hath done great things for us. Now I said to you as in the foreknowledge of God, this is given to me before the world ever was. That us why that the mind of Christ come in it's due season. Now it is the mind of Christ which is the Spirit of Christ, which is the life of Christ, that is from the foreknowledge of God come into my body. And now it is in my body. And this mind is that that God within Him ownself determined before the world ever was in His mind. And this mind was as from foreknowledge as from the beginning to the end of point A to point B. God all His works is known unto Him from the beginning. There is no yesterday. There is no tomorrow. There is no light and darkness as day and night with God. All of this is symbolic because of the sinful pilgrimage of man having fallen from the light into the darkness. And everything is reckoned for as God created something from evening until the morning because Calvary is the morning. And so abiding in the darkness as it would be as to the creatures of darkness as to Calvary, now we're delivered from the powers of darkness, translated into the marvelous kingdom of light; or just as I would translate this Bible from one language into another, God's great Spirit His mind hath gone into my heart and life and through the tutoring of the Word as to the preacher, bringing you into this to get His Spirit into you, He is translating every thought and from glory to glory; because every time a thought is translated you receive a glory, a measure of His glory, beholding as it would be ourselves and looking like in a measure or beholding, the Bible said, Beholding as it would be with open face as in a glass or a mirror. We are beholding the revealing of His glory as to His image, His spiritual invisible image. And we are changed into the very image that this life of Christ made manifest in our mortal genes that it might become eternal. And this glory is so great as to celestial that all will be gone away as to the briars and the thorns. Because if it is a translation of my spirit and then a transformation of my mind, and then a transfiguration of my body, then I'm back to the stages as to what I was made in Adam the son of God in the garden as to the paradise of God where the tree of life is; and all of the briars and all of my surroundings see, it's different. The curse is gone. So it's back to the garden. Everything is fine. The millennium comes in. Because as soon as the light radiates from within us, the sun light is thus shining over the horizon of the world and everything dissipates as to evil and all things is gone. And death and all these things are consummated within the rising of the Great Light. So then ye are the light. He is your everlasting light. He manifests Himself in you so you become the light of the world. He was the light of the world. Now the light shines through you; and as the Bible said, The wisdom of a man maketh his face to shine. And the Bible said, They could not withstand the wisdom by which Stephen spake, for his wisdom was so that His light shined through as to the light of God from within into his countenance and they beheld his face as that of an angel. All right so in what we're saying, the veil was rent in twain. And the 400 years as to 490 and the seven separated the 483 stopped at Calvary, the spiritual Jew, he went into the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God, the law and the prophets until John, since that time the kingdom of God has been preached. Men pressed their way into it. The law fullfilled, folded up, laid away, now we're spiritual beings. We don't dwell in the flesh anymore. We don't walk in the flesh. They that are in the flesh cannot please God. God killed that body, done away with it. And Paul said, Now the beast image, the flesh is dead because of sin. And what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness or image of sinful flesh as to Adam seeing the transgression, condemned sin in the flesh, took it to Calvary, smote that body, done away with the beast, and today it's dead and gone and God never again sees us as that perverted image of those painted faces and lips and those bodies that you're always trying to build or whatever you try to do to pretty that face up to make it show or whatever. God despises it. He killed it. He hated it. He buried it and it's forever gone. And all He's looking at now is the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. The one that had no beauty that any should desire Him, the one that was bruised for our transgressions, the chastisement of our peace being upon Him by whose stripes we are healed. And so then He sees us today as the body of the Lord Jesus and therefore this is why we work. This is why we do what we do what we do. Let everyone that names the name of the Lord Jesus depart from iniquity. If you're going to bear the vessel of God then be holy. So then we are doing this that we might bring this body to what we already are in God. And if we bring it to that condition as to any generation, then there's no more caskets. There is no more planting in the soil. There is nothing else left. Because this is not something that we are working our way unto in the sense of our reward of salvation. That's already heavenly treasure within us as to "the faith of Jesus Christ" which came at Calvary. And as to the sanctification of that faith once and for all by the offering up of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And we sanctify ourself daily not as unto salvation or unto the reward of salvation, but rather as unto the reward of being a dispenser for God and dispensing this heavenly treasure which already is within us by His works. So our faith without works is dead. And the stimulation of our faith is to do the thing that pleased Him John said, and then do we have confidence of heart that He heareth us. And we know that if He hear us then we know that we have the petition of Him or that is the manifestation of this wonderful happiness, of health or blessing or whatever in our present life or in our human body because He's already given all of this to us in the foreknowledge of God. Through the precious promises we are partakers to read, and it says, this thus stored up and we receive it. He says to me, Ask what you will. Believe and don't doubt and ye shall have it. So I say, Lord, give me thus and thus. And then I say, I know that my prayer has been heard. So I say, Well, my prayer having been heard now my request has been granted, already granted, already done. Believe that ye receive it and ye shall have it. So then because I know He heard me I do the things that please Him. My heart bears witness with your spirit that you heard me. So I say, Hallelujah! Glory to God! He gave it to me. That's the way faith works. Always in the affirmative, always calling those things that are not as to the sight to the feeling of the human sense calling them as they are because in the original in the beginning it was not so that you were sick. It was not so that you were aged. It was not so that ye should die. It's not so that ye should live your years out. It's not so that ye should go through poverty and all these problems. It's not so. See, you were made in the paradise of God. You still are in the paradise of God in the mind of God by the redemption of our God before you ever fell from the garden. Through Adam God made a plan in His foreknowledge that He would secure you and not lose His creation. Neither those things as to the creation that's emanated from God. So then we know that in this Jesus, all things that are made by Him. All things are for Him, all things are of Him, and for His glory were they made. For that is the great Holy Spirit chose to redeem man through the wonderful Jesus, through the wonderful Word by bringing it into a natural existence, stabilizing it and then letting it be something that He Himself as the great Eternal Spirit could enjoy through a human body as relating to the tangible side of matter through a human form, Satan taking that form. In the beginning he got in the way of God and that middle wall of partition is your flesh, your beastly image, the infiltration. But when you come out of the worm stage that thing is dead. It's gone back there. Now you're in heaven and this is the church ages. And during the church ages all people are in heaven. All people are in heaven but all people don't have heaven in them. From Calvary you have heaven in you and you are in heaven. And even though you have heaven in you it looks like that we are of all men most miserable because as having in us it brings to our understanding our duties and our sacrifice because we have had a conception. And this divine conception has made us to be out of proportion with the world. And we find ourself withdrawing and hiding away and the world doesn't admire us anymore. And so then we're not good for their program and plan of lust anymore. And now we are, we are carrying the child within. And Paul said, The minister travailing until this Christ be formed within you; so then as this light on the inside must come to maturity to present itself as the new image in the earth, so has the other passed away and it's buried in the name of the Lord. So then we don't fit the world and it looks like we're worse off than anybody. Because as to the blood being on the seat of atonement then the wretched and the evil and the Bible said, the rain on the just and the unjust, out there the unjust the rain is coming down on them out there and they don't feel this travail, neither do they feel any condemnation of anything that they do, neither do they feel a constraint, neither are they out of proportion with the world because they did not conceive of Christ. They do not have Christ in them the hope of that glory, celestial glory. So they just enjoy the blessings of God. As the rain comes down they are in heaven, because God took away your sins. And to take away your sins He had to take away their sins in the body. But beloved friend, let me tell you something, though we are as in this world most miserable of all men, if this is the only place we have hope we have hope in another world. And we are killing out this body and we are denying this body, and this is self-denial and we are suffering. We are taking on a mind to suffer and we are staying away from the ball games and the frolics and the places of the world. Our mind isn't that. Our mind is the mind of conception as to travail. To be like Jesus, to be be like Jesus, on earth I long to be like Him. From Bethlehem's manger came forth a stranger, I long to be like Him. So then it's very evident that in what we are saying, that is to making within himself twain, God has smitten even the first part even the body of Jesus. That means the first part of me is now dead as to the body. And God never sees it again and the bastard child image in gone. God looks at you now as an angelic being in heaven. You're equal to the angels. You cannot die. You are now dwelling in heaven. You are now a quickening Spirit. You are now bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh as to what God sees you to be over yonder in the change at the Thessalonian coming when the head appears to collect the members of it's body. So then everything is wonderful. Everything is wonderful. And it is said, Watchman, what of the night? The watchman's on the wall which means way up. I've walked on those walls of Jerusalem. Watchman, what of the night? We're watching while the others sleep. For the Bible said, At the midnight cry they all were asleep, the natural virgins and the foolish virgins. They all were asleep. Now we say, What do you mean asleep, Brother Pike? They all were in the flesh as to being dead in trespasses and sin. They all were asleep. But see, just to be dead in trespasses and sin as to this where you've never come to the knowledge of God, sin is not imputed. So you are in a sleep. And the blood atonement it applies unto you and it covers you, until that time when the blood comes off of the seat of atonement; then that blood life which is the red dragon that John saw in the twelfth chapter of Revelation in heaven, there is the expulsion. It's not there anymore. Lucifer's not in the garden anymore. Out he goes like that. See, and blood life can't be there anymore. And they don't have anymore light and understanding of this wonderful God of heaven. And they can't reflect that great light, because as to the nova as to the sun withdrawing as to going away the church goes away; and the whole world then is in intellectual darkness unto the great superman of the intellectual powers of the tree of knowledge, not even enough understanding to perfect a bottle of medicine. And there it is Satan is then in the earth going about like a roaring lion, then comes the number 666. And then comes the Jews as being sealed and those Jews in the midst of that tribulation period because that part that represents the body as to the casting away of the Jews, Calvary, the severing of the seven from the 483 or the 490, leaving the 483. Now it must come back. And if the casting away of the Jews be the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of the Jews be or the 7 coming back to the 483 to finish the 490 years determined upon earth as to make an end of it before the millennium comes in, the seven years of tribulation. Pardon me, the new world coming in. So we know then that everything is symbolic even this America that we live in. Washington, Abe Lincoln, many others, see. But we see this coming back together. And the Jews will freshly stand there at Calvary. All of a sudden their eyes come open and there they are. They're not 2000 years from the crucifixion. They're just now seeing the cruicifixion because there He is. When the 7 joins the 483 they're right back to Calvary where the severing was. And the body is now back to the Spirit. And the Jews come out of the grave or the dead comes out of the grave. Because the casting away of the Jews reconciling the world, the receiving of the Jews the resurrection from the dead. See, because they're dead in the sight of God. Counted as them that do not know so God will not have to impute sin unto them. But now they come to the understanding. We're right here in the end of the world now. And there He stands with the nails in His hands. There is Calvary. And they said, Where did you get the nails? He said, In the house of my friends. In the house of my friends. Even Judas He called him friend. See, and then they mourned and they cried knowing that they did reject the Messiah. And there He is and their houses were left to them desolate. And now they're saying, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. So the rejoicing and on and on we could go about this wonderful story of the Lord. But see this mind from fore-knowledge has come into you and severed between your body and your spirit and now your body's dead by Calvary. And your spirit as an angelic being went back to God who gave it as to the butterfly leaving the worm as to that as to the cocoon. And now you are they that dwell in heaven because you are perfect. For God hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. Having sanctified them once and for all by the offering up of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And your sanctification daily as you sanctify yourself daily has nothing to do with the salvation, but rather as to a surrender and a conformity of mastering your body. Paul said, Keeping under the body and bringing it into subjection. So then in doing this that this on the inside as heavenly treasure might be utilized as a great, wonderful ability of that human skill and ability in the earth as the body being a dispenser of that great, wonderful power of God. Or that is to say the Word made Spirit or that is to say as the fountain, the waters flowing out, coming out or the fruits of the spirit of the innermost nature. All right so then we know that the veil was rent in twain and the natural Jews did not understand. When it was said that the temple is rent in twain, they thought that it meant that this temple of Moses as to the tabernacle as to (Tape 2 Side 1)...and then as to it divided. The tabernacle set within the outer courts. The outer courts was of fence. The tabernacle set in there which was called the inner courts or the holy place. But within that tabernacle which was a tent there was a little ten by ten or something similar to this over in the corner of that tent that was curtained off. This was called the innermost court or the holies of holies. Now so then the covering cherubs as to the needlework that they could not get past to look upon. I explained this to you Noah and the ark and the different things, backing up laying that covering on Noah the sins of Sodomy. So when we look at this then we see Calvary, we see the rent veil. What is the rent veil? When they rent the veil the high priest alone would do that once a year. He would go in. The sons of the high priest could come into the holy place as to the inner courts from the outer courts. They could take the lamb that was slain outside on the altar representing Calvary and they could take it in and eat that. But they could not go into the holies of holies. They had to put on the right kind of garments. To get into heaven, even the second heaven, the first heaven, the second heaven, the third heaven. Within the holies of holies was the third heaven. Paul said, I knew such a one as caught up to the third heaven and saw things that was not permitted as to Paul representing the high priest, in that he said, it's not me living but Christ. The wise masterbuilder or the capstone of that great pyramid city, the regathering of that which was lost at Babylon as to that not being capstoned as to the pyramid of Egypt. So in this in looking at it we see the high priest go right through those curtains and the cherubs are pushed aside. And the rent veil means that between the cherubs. Because the ark of the covenant is there and Jesus making in Himself both Lord and Christ the rending of the veil, or the Bible said that is to say within His own flesh making a new way, the door open, Peter having the keys as to faith to believe that was the Christ or God in the earth. Being in the world, the world made by Him, yet the world didn't recognize Him but Peter recognized Him. So then upon this rock that's why the Catholics take that as they do. Peter opened the door both to the Jews and Gentiles, see, as to the church ages coming in. And then this day the mysteries of God are being finished, that you might know that you might understand that you might have what other men have not grasped through the years or not seen through the years. The reason is because there is going to be a generation. It may not be you because you're not getting, a lot of you are not getting what I'm saying. You know, you hear it, just like the bondschild, but you do not get it. See, hearing it that doesn't meant that you get it. You won't remember it. It'll be gone. It's just a reflection. You are a reflector. And your light shows the rain on the unjust, but as to that that hath the seed of God inside, Christ. This glory is from within, not as to what I'm saying you know. And it reveals itself from within to swallow up, to change this body. So from glory to glory. Now that's to keep the devil from being overconfident in them that mess around with the world and with the flesh, that savor the things that be of the flesh. And still say, Well bless God I heard it, I got it too. Cause I can assure you you haven't. You just don't understand. You know you're ignorant and Paul said, You're blinded by this ignorance that is within you. For you don't even see when good comes. But the eyes of our understanding as children of light, see, we see but not you. You don't even know when it's nigh even at the door. You can't tell but we know exactly how close it is. See, and this light that shines in darkness, the darkness can't comprehend it as to the mind that you have. But with us that are children of light, we are taken from the powers of darkness by Jesus delivering us from him who is stronger than we are. And that is to say, Lucifer, man a little lower than the angels, translating us into the marvelous kingdom of our God. So then are we the light of the world. So the veil is rent in twain. I'm dead by the body of the Lord Jesus. My spirit went one way, my body went another way. My body is now buried as to Jesus being buried. And now my spirit is now living in heaven as to Jesus being resurrected. And that which as to the natural as to the Jew being cast away will come back. And that as to being spiritual will enter into that body. And when it enters into that body it will be dead no more as to all of them from Adam under the law but it will come back. And when God brings the Jew then comes the resurrection. Paul said this because he had a revelation. He could never have known this nor could I know it. If I had not received the revelation of the Lord Jesus I would not even know what Paul was talking about because I never heard anything like it, never heard it preached. But when He gave me the revelation I knew exactly why Paul said, If the passing away of the Jews be the reconciling the world then what will the receiving of the Jews be but life from the dead. The same revelation that I'm preaching to you right here, Paul wrote so that you might understand my knowledge in the mysteries of Christ, he said, For in this, in the mysteries of Christ, great is the mystery and I'm a steward of the mysteries of Christ Jesus, which the flesh resents and which the bondschild mocks. But that of the freechild rejoices and says, Hallelujah! Glory to God! It's not the man speaking but God speaking unto us. And in this the soul of the little one on the inside, just as a babe leaped for joy as it was with the spirit when John was filled with the Holy Ghost. So this little babe on the inside as to the Christ, it just shouts and kicks and has a hallelujah time. And the others reason in their natural mind with jealousy and fault-finding and resentment and everything and the middle wall of partition is thus there and they're cut off from it just like that. All right so then He hath rent the veil in twain. He hath rent the veil in twain. As the songwriter said, Let angels bow down before Him. Because He hath rent the veil in twain. And so then going through the covering cherubs, Paul said, the covering cherubs of which we cannot speak particular at this time. As to the covering cherubs as I would like to take time to talk about, we'd mentioned something fragmentally about this a number of times. It's on tape as to where the Lord said, You cover with a covering but not of Me as to the covering of My glory. And as to having put them on skins, having to drop from one dimension to another. See, and Jesus coming in that manger as that beast level to raise us up by His own body as to the works that's accredited to us. God saying that you are my workmanship in Christ Jesus. And God saying, Of His fullness have ye all partaken. And He walking from the manger all the way into glory where Moses and Elijah are where they appeared in glory, where you and I are going as being called to that glory. Christ in you revealing, this as a mind from the foundation of the world. And it is revealed to you a little at a time as a babe you are developing. As a babe you are developing a little at a time and you get a tiny little bit. And we chew it up real fine as the mother's use to do or feed you a little baby food, desire the sincere milk of the Word that you might grow thereby, for the meat is for the strong, they who have by reasoning exercised their senses to be able to discern between good and evil. And so then this is the mind. All of this was God, the Spirit, which is a mind. And it is come to us through Jesus in that He had to atone to make a way to take away all men's sin. That now it is in us as to Adam unto one transgression it was sin unto death, but as of the Lord it is as to a liberty of grace unto many transgressions as to freedom. So our stumblings and our staggerings are taken care of. And now from glory to glory this mind is revealing itself in us. And it continues to reveal itself in us to the full measure of the full stature of the perfect man Christ Jesus to the full reward. So then it has been a spiritual pilgrimage. It has been a spiritual journey. It has been spiritual works. It has nothing to do with you whatsoever. And the spiritual works will subdue this outer body as Christ within you. And then as to the completeness of this mind within you, all of a sudden there the head will appear and the body will be changed. Which we're getting close to the finishing of the diplomacy right now as to reaching diplomacy as finishing of the school to take on this wonderful headship as to right now we have it as the children of God to those that are the predestinated, to those to whom it is given we have it. And you can't receive it lest it be given you of God. You can't find it in college. You can't study to get it. You can't pray and get it. You can't do anything. He's hid it from all, even the eyes of the wise and prudent. And made it revelation unto babes such as will learn. Even the babe Christ or your spiritual life on the inside which is one with the babe Christ. And Him growing up on the inside of you until finally there it is, the change. See, it has nothing to do with your works. This is heaven. This is a spiritual age. All these things are taking place. And it is Christ within you the hope of glory. It is God working His will in you as to His glory by that of your own activity. He in what you do as to His glory being made manifest as He injects within you, indoctrinates you, furbishes and refurbishes as He activates your body as to the life of Christ running over. My cup, David said, it runs over and as to the life of Christ manifested in my mortal genes. So then from this mind comes'the faith of Christ' which changes our body, the same faith that gave me the salvation within my spirit. And my faith is only that little thing that I work with to take away condemnation, to have this confidence of heart, as in these mighty promises. So that this work will not be hindered to withdraw from the flesh and not make provision for the flesh to fulfill the desire thereof, for Satan savors the things that be of the flesh. But I'm dead to the flesh. So then I go after the Lord and I mortify the deeds of the body. I bring it under subjection, so that this life of Christ on the inside can reach it's full ultimatum as to the grand finale of my life as it goes transitionally speaking from change to change until after a while there it is. And the generations see that death was never anything. It's never anything. Death is no more than a toy to a son of God. He is in control. Behold, I give you power over all the powers of the enemy. And the Bible said, Death is the last enemy that shall be conquered as to put it at the level of the body. Put it at the level of the body because it's already conquered in Christ Jesus. We already have the Holy Ghost as to the Christ that conquered it. It hath no power over us whatsoever. We are one with the Lord Jesus. No man can take our life. Jesus said, No man can taketh my life. They didn't kill him as to take His life. He said, I come to give My life a ransom for many. And I lay my life down. This commandment I have of My Father that I can lay it down or I can take it up. So I can lay my life down, I can take it up. I will take it up if I lay it down. No man taketh my life from me. I've passed from death unto life. No man shall take my life. He doesn't have the power to take my life. I once was dead but now I'm alive forevermore. Well we could go on and go on talking about the wonderful revelational mysteries of God. But as to say the dividing asunder of the cherubs. As to the dividing asunder it has to do with man and wife, Adam and Eve. The dividing asunder that had to do with Lucifer as to a man looking straight into the eyes of his wife and her reflecting him back and that is the reproduction of his image as to his little family. Or her being bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. And her being made exactly in his likeness as to his spirit and his mind in her and she reflects him right back. And that is Mrs. Adam as we say. So as to the dividing asunder of the covering cherubs as to Calvary, the man went one way and the woman went another way as to garden experience. And so then when the battle came, Jesus coming in that one image. He stood there and the battle was on. And the battle in the heavenlies was on. And it had to be that he was no longer looking face to face as to that mirror of reflection as that which was beautiful to his own image his darling wife that was entwined about his heart. But he was looking into the eyes of an adulterer. He was looking into the eyes of a fornicator as to Satan. He was looking into the eyes of a killer, a murderer, a thief, that filled with lust. And he was there as to battle with that, to get that infiltration out of his wife, out of the body, to redeem the body and the spirit would then again have the body. And through a purification that it had never happened because he had kept things in ignorance as the Jews showing that as our day so that there would be no knowledge as to look at his wife when she was purified as the great beautiful virgin, killing that evil beast thing, bringing forth a new body which was his darling wife as to the virgin of which we are members in particular; pure, sanctified, perfect, without spot, without blemish. We keep ourself and the evil one toucheth us not. And we don't grieve the Holy Spirit that's sealed us on the inside until the change of this body or the redemption as to say the purchased possession, even this body. So we know then that God hath wrought a great, mighty work. See, and when the cherubs come back together, it will not be Christ looking at Satan as that reflector, but it will be as to the cleansing and not the rent veil as to the middle wall of partition as to the infiltration of the iniquity of that mind of Lucifer or that spirit of death in that Adam is life and she is death, because she separated herself from life and she's not in the original creation except in Adam. But in Christ we are original. We are from His very loins. We were there before the world ever was. Job, where was you when the morning star sang together and the sons of God leaped for joy, before I laid the foundations of the world as we say? So it's very evident that now we are one with Him. And the body is gone, the beast is gone, the iniquity is gone and now God is looking at us setting on the throne. And the life that I had I lost because of sin, but now I have a new life. And the life I now live I live by the Son of God who gave Himself for me. I now have His Spirit. I now have His life. I now have His mind. My spirit is interwoven with Christ's Spirit. And that Christ's Spirit is hid in God's Spirit. So then my spirit and Christ's Spirit which is hid in God the Spirit. And now that Spirit is in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ yonder at the throne. And when He my life appears then my body will come to it, or that is to say He as that Christ life now lives on the inside of this body because this is the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, members in particular. Let's give the Lord a hand. It doth, can not as of yet see nor behold but the translation is taking place. Everything is ready for the change. Job said, I will wait for my change. And in the last days I will stand upon this earth or the Lord will stand upon this earth. I shall see Him for myself, not another but I myself shall see Him. I believe that. I believe Job will be resurrected. He'll be standing right there. All right we could go on and go on talking about the covering cherubs and many things that Paul said he could not as in his day speak particular of, and as to those things being caught up in the third heaven. He said he was not allowed to speak. It was not lawful for him to speak, because in the third heaven at that time the third heaven was not made known. Now we're moving on into the third heaven because we're moving in to where Paul was now. And that wonderful precious day is here as to this wonderful thing of the Lord Jesus. As we move on in as the pyramid is built. It goes to the third heaven, even the Lord Jesus, the All-Seeing Eye, even Paul which was not Paul but the Christ. Whether in the body, out of the body, I can't tell, but we do know it was the Christ. See, as to that Christ, we're building on up to that now. And this mind that was in Paul that took Him up there or that mind that he transformated to is now within us. And we've transformated and transformated and transformated and transformated right on into the headship. All of a sudden that's it. Let's everybody stand together. Many things Jesus said I would like to say unto you, but seeing that we are as a people dull of hearing it's very difficult for God to do it. Carnality is at an all time high. Flesh is at an all time high. This is the latter times and flesh is now having it's grand finale as to ball games and eating and jogging, buying and selling and making money and laughing and talking, lounging around and going and projecting it's face and it's body and self and all of it's pride and selfishness, this arrogancy of having as this foolishness about having careers, having our private doctor and having our private lawyer when they're nothing but worms. And we got to have these and we got to have prestige and a certain kind of car and home and money and comforts and convenience, all foolishness. And the children are playing their little game from morning until night. They lay their little toys away to play again. As to the children of the world they play their little games and run down to their little offices as to set behind their little desk and do their little things. Even the television man you know the, they want the evangelists to set behind a desk. They want him to be polished and be filled with the ethics of the world and come around in his polished manner, like an old slimy snake that eases around to show off that body or to do whatever he's doing you know, and then he can be a movie star. He can do all these things and he can have money. It is rotteness to the bones. It's rotteness. Like Jimmy Carter recently said, Atlanta is rotten to the core. Folks, old Brother John the Baptist might not look too good on television, having lived in the wilderness all of his life, locusts and wild honey for his meat, being clothed in the camel hair, camel skin. But there's one thing about it he had a message. He had a message and it done the job. It introduced the Christ. So let's sing this little chorus together. The Bible said, And Mary pondered these things in her heart. While Martha was busy, busy, busy with all of her attire as to the world. And as to the daughters as it was said as to the sisters, not as to Cinderella, but the others as to the ball and the frolic and the painted lips, it wasn't so as with Cinderella who was about the work. And it wasn't so as with Mary. But Jesus said, Mary that set at the feet of Jesus to hear the words of the Lord Jesus. Jesus said, And Mary hath chosen the better part. That that would not be taken away from her. Martha, you've chosen a great thing, but it will be taken away. For heaven and earth shall pass away, but he that doeth the will of the Heavenly Father shall never away. My words shall not pass away. He that's interwoven with the oneness of the Word they shall not pass away. Let's sing a little chorus together, can we? Can you sing, I Love Him? (Singing) The altars are open. If you'd like to come to the altar you're welcome to come. (Singing) Let's sing this little chorus. (Singing) Can you sing it with me? (Singing) Let's sing this little chorus. (Singing) One more time together. (Singing) Somebody say, Hallelujah! You know it's wonderful when you come to know who God is and what God is and who Satan is and what Satan is and what life is and what death is. My, how frivolous death is. How much of a nothing it really is. How much of a nothing it really is! And yet it's the great terror of all humanity from the beginning of the world unto the end. But the Master so calmly and quietly walked right up to it's face and said, You are helpless. You are helpless. I am here. You are helpless. Let's give Him a hand, can we? Like the song we wrote from Calvary's rugged hill Jesus whispered, Peace be still. And it goes on to say, It stopped death and death was conquered. And He'll never let me go to those regions below. He went there for me. He'll never suffer the soul of His loved one to remain in hell nor He'll never suffer His loved one to see corruption. He hath freed us from corruption. And Jesus had to go through everyone of these things naturally that we might experience these things spiritually and that death might be conquered. For when He went through it naturally, it had to do with the purchased possession which means the body also has been delivered. But folks, this mind of this great thing that God purposed in Christ before the world ever was, it's going to reach it's ultimatum. It hasn't as of yet as to you, but it's moving on through you. Brother Branham said on one occasion, this great wonderful thing that God would do in the latter times would pass right through the church, go right through you and you'd never see it, because how can you see when you are blind as to a church world. In darkness you cannot comprehend that light. And so then in this wonderful third pull as we say as to heavenly as to Brother Branham said and even in his day as looking down, he was looking down. I'm sure he must be looking down. So having seen before his death, caught up beyond the veil. See, no doubt he's looking down. But this wonderful thing, that we have this heavenly treasure in these earthen vessels. We have it right now in the earthen vessels. And it's so wonderful because we're comprehending the heights, the depth, the width and the length of this great, marvelous thing that Almighty God has done. Isn't it wonderful to know that you have a Saviour who walked right up in the face of death and said, You're helpless. He walked right up in the face of death, even when they had the coffin and the boy being carried as we would say in the coffin of that day, and He walked up and He made the men that were carrying it stand still. And He said, I say unto thee, Arise. And the woman, the girl, I say unto thee, Arise. And He said, Lazarus, come forth. Why? Because from Calvary's rugged hill He's the one that took away death. Isn't it wonderful to know that you've also conquered death? And that you can boldly stand in the face of death and say, Death, where is your sting? Grave, where is your victory? There ain't no grave going to hold me down. I've passed from death unto life. I have all power over you. You're my enemy and you're my slave. I am your conqueror. I am the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. We're members in particular. I have control of you and you don't have control of me, but I have control of you. I am bone of His bone and I am flesh of His flesh. Jesus said, These things that I do shall ye do also and greater things because I go unto the Father. So it is here we are, like little children growing up into the full measure of that full stature to where you can behold all those things that you are potentially given in Christ or that you are potentially in Christ. So then as a little babe, you differ nothing from a servant. But I tell you what as you grow up you're going to find out there's great adventure. The adventures of faith, to venture out into faith. And there's great adventures into this world and to explore this world. They that know their God shall do great and mighty exploits in the latter times, great... (Tape 2 Side 2)...and they are falling and the stars are falling. And we said they would fall. See, but this wonderful life, this triumph, this victory, this great, wonderful conqueror, we're conquerors. We are conquerors. How beautiful! How beautiful! As to what we're growing up to be. I travail until Christ be formed within you. Let's sing another chorus or two and we'll let you go. Give me another key. (Singing) You love the Lord? Let's sing this little chorus. (Singing) In this Bible they say there's 32,000 promises. This is the promised land of God. Great and mighty promises to believe, to translate, to change that Word into Spirit, to bring it down into your heart and to dwell in the wonderful promised land of God. We're not walking by sight but by promises by faith. He sent His Word and His promises healed them. His promises saved them, His promises. (Singing) Have you ever that song, Standing on the promises of Christ my Lord? Standing on the promises I cannot fall, because I'm standing on the promises of God. Isn't that beautiful? So beautiful! We stand upon this rock. Upon this rock I build my church. And who is a rock, the Bible said, and who is a rock but our God? Peter, you've discovered God. Christ is God. Now I say unto you that thou art Peter; and the Catholic church misunderstood that because his name means little stone. But He said upon, God said, Upon this rock, upon this revelation, upon the Christ I build my church, the one that you discovered, upon the Christ. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Doesn't it give you a feeling of consolation when you look into the very face of hell and you look right through the doors as to the gates of hell and you say, Hell, you can't prevail against me. I have no fear of you. You might cause the world to shake but not me. I have the fear of you. You'll never touch me. Let's give the Lord a hand. Somebody say, Hallelujah! We're talking about what we are in Christ. To be like Jesus. To be like Jesus, on earth I want to be like Him. (Singing) Can you sing that with me? (Singing) Let's sing this chorus together. And in the fullness of time the veil was rent in twain and the door was open in heaven. And now it's just about time for the door to close. And with that the expulsion of all flesh. And the red dragon will be cast out and blood life cannot be in heaven anymore as to come into His presence; and Satan cannot again come into His presence as he did in the days of Job. He comes into God's presence by living in human bodies upon which the rain comes as the unjust. But folks, God's about to cut it off. Remember the revelation that we've preach to you of a fountain open in the house of David as within the Jews. And then the body as to what they represent as to sin will be no more; for the others will be in darkness and the Jews will be back in His presence. The woman will have birthed her child. When Zion travailed she brought forth her children. And she's been in great travail. But now everything is just ready. Right at the time we said of the delivering of the child, we said years ago it will come to pass that you will see that the government will tax the church. It came to pass, didn't it? They tax Little Bethlehem right here. They've taxed it because when Mary was heavy with child seeking as it would be a place. There was no place in the inn found. Only in the manger, only in the manger, for He had to come down to the beast level. Be made like unto the beast that He might walk from that manger into glory as from the outer man to the spiritual man, as to perversion to convert back to the originality. And instead of having the outer man as the woman to rule as they say, a woman's world, it converts and the male comes forth. And out comes the male and then the male rules and the male takes over. As in the Old Testament, if the wife did not have a son as to the mother, she did not have an inheritance. And God did that as to bring a revelation that when the son comes forth he is the image of the father and he is then the ruler, because he is the wealth of the mother and the inheritance of the mother. And so as to we speak of the black widow swallowing up her husband, then as it was as the woman was taken out of the side of Adam and the thing happened as it was, then came the man out of the woman and as to the son. Now the Christ the lost image has taken over the body and He's going to be seen when He shines around about this body. And on the outside all you're going to see is as they saw Jesus standing on the mountain which was the glory that had swallowed up the body and the body was in the background and his wonderful glory was there, for the male was then in charge and the glory of the female was His presence. For in His presence His light. How beautiful! To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus, on earth I long to be like Him. From Bethlehem's manger came forth a stranger, on earth I long to be like Him. So then we're picking ourself up out of this old manger and this world down here as to the beast, and we're moving into the heavenlies to appear with Him in glory. How beautiful! How wonderful! Moses and Elijah on the right and left to show the law and the prophets and to show the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's sing this chorus, Brother Taylor. And when the time of the promise drew near then there came the promised seed to whom the promise was made. So then who are we today? We're the promised seed to whom the promise was made. Let's give the Lord a hand. For we're bone of His bone and we're flesh of His flesh. And we're all one in Him. We are one in Him. Not to seeds as of many, but just as to the members of His body, even the Lord Jesus Christ within you the hope of that glory. People look to Calvary unto the Lord, we look back to Calvary unto grace. (Singing) Remember now the finishing of the mysteries is the revealed mind of Christ within you the hope of glory. The revealing of the mysteries is the mind of God that was determining God, placed in Christ Jesus and given to us through the redemption as to the image that was lost in Adam of the illuminated presence of our Heavenly Father. And today we have that image. Today we are His image. Now beloved are ye the sons of God. People cannot see it because they see you after the flesh, but we see you as that wonderful bone of bone and flesh of flesh, because that's what you are. Eternal, more than conquerors, killed all the day long, counted as sheep for the slaughter. Showing about within our own life the death of Christ Jesus and the life of sufferings of Christ Jesus. But in this we're more than conquerors through Christ that loved us and gave Himself for us. And with this mind as it completes itself within you comes the faith of Christ that will change the body. (Singing) Can you lift your hands up and say? I thank God. I'm delivered from death. Hallelujah! Death hath no power over me. Can you give Him a wave offering? Hallelujah! I'm delivered from death. Hallelujah! The Holy Ghost witnessing that I'm defending the truth and witnessing of the truth. That I am free from death. Hallelujah! I'm free from death. Death, where is your sting? Grave, you don't have any victory. You don't have any victory anymore. Hallelujah! Somebody say, Hallelujah! Don't you believe this message I've been preaching? Don't you believe this message? Has it been a fantasy to you? Has it been just a fantasy to you? Don't you believe what I'm preaching? Paul said, I show you a mystery we shall not all sleep but we'll be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at that last trump when the last trump shall sound and the mysteries of God shall be finished. Do you believe? The Jews is coming in. Look at your place that you bought at Jerusalem. The Jews are beginning to be converted. Look at the Jews coming in. Thousands have been converted to Christ. They're coming in. Look at the Gentiles falling away more and more for the things of the world. See, but at the same time the body is being redeemed. What does it mean the Gentiles coming in and the Jews fall or the, or the Jews coming in, the Gentiles falling away? It means now it's not the church coming in, it's the body of the people as to the serpent, the worm it's falling away. We're dropping the old cocoon off now. They're going to lose their government, their prestige, their power. They're already bankrupt, but we have all the heavenly, all the heavenly power of this government. And the Jews have confiscated until they got the gold, and they've got the wealth of the world. They've been kicked about and pushed about so that they couldn't have all the properties as to this country, but they've got all the powers of government. And they're going to find out, they're already finding out, they're going to find out that they've got a warfare and they got a power that the world doesn't know anything about, that according to the Bible it will make the people, the Gentiles' eyes consume away in their sockets and their tongues consume away in their very mouth and the horses flesh will consume away from the bones. Power, atomic power, great power, hydrogen power, all kind of power. Because they represent the spirit returning to the body and all power in heaven and earth must be given them as to the typical symbolics of being that that rules the world with one little nation with a determination that won't quit, fearless that will fight to the last drop of blood. The whole world will shake and tremble because of them. And the Master Himself will come and lead them to battle as the Captain of their salvation. So then we see it all coming in. As the cocoon falls away, we see the Jews revelationally speaking coming in now. And that means that we are as to the spirit returning into the body. Because as they come in that means our body is coming back in because it's been dead by Calvary, but it's to come back in as to the change now. As to the resurrection of the dead that's the change. See, and as to the Jews coming in that denotes that. So everything is just right for that now. It's moving away and there is a great separation, a distance that's coming between the church and between the people. See, pulling away from the cocoon. Coming away now, taking the corn now and shucking it down and the old stalk is about to dry up. It's doing nothing but rattling as the wind blows. There's no life or flexibility within it. As a boy I remember so well we'd pull the fodder, tie it up, throw it into bundles. Set fire to the fields. Gather the grain into the garners. I've done it many times as a boy. See, and everything is just right. Everything is just right. The harvest is here. The harvest is here. Like the song that we wrote, thrust in the sickle for the blood is to the bridle. For the harvest is here. The harvest is here. Time shall be no more. The end, Calvary being made manifest. As to the Jews Revelation 12, Revelation 10. As to the breech now coming back, the 7 to the 483, and it brings us all right back to Calvary, right back to Calvary where time ended. The fullness of time where Jesus ended it, the fullness of time come. And Peter said, Ye are the people upon whom the ends of the world have come. Though Paul the Revelator said things hard to be understood, yet Peter received enough to understand. Let's just lift our hands up together. Thank God for this wonderful liberty, this wonderful freedom. Instead of wondering about being raptured away and caught away, let's praise God because we're already in heaven. If you want your healing and you have problems in your body, don't go by your human senses because it wasn't so in the beginning. You are back to your originality as to the beginning. Back to the beginning as to your originality and all you got to do is believe it into effect into your body by surrender, conformity, loving God and believing until this faith of Christ changes your body. See your faith is by measure, proportionally, but as it comes on step by step, finding the fullness by the mind, finding the fullness of the transformation of mind, finally it is then the mind of Christ and then it is the faith of Christ. Because when our faith is not no more in part as to believe in part, but we've believed every part because we have all parts of the Scripture as to what we believe, then it is a one thing as to His mind and our faith thus becomes the faith of Christ because it's altogether then. Now if we're that close to it as to Enoch being translated by faith that he should not see death, then that means everything is right here on us right now. Anything could happen any minute now any second now anytime now. And with this as we finish this chorus as to the diplomacy, it is at that time that mother and daddy runs over to the school saying, I'm going to the graduation. I'm going to be there when my son or daughter graduates. I'm going to be there. Whatever it is, I'm going to be there. At the great graduation, whether it's a diplomacy as from college or whatever. See, and we're right there now. Just about that time and the Lord is going to be there. He said, I'll meet you in the morning. We sing just inside the Eastern Gate. I'll meet you there. Let's sing this song, "I Will Praise Him" as we dismiss. (Singing) Remember now, praise Him for what? All of the wonderful things. He says, I am the Lord God that healeth thee. I have healed you by My strips. I've forgiven all of your iniquities. It's a past history. It's a documented thing. Now you are whole. You're healthy. You're healed. Now this is the truth. Believe it and be free from sin, death, sorrow, oppression, dread, fears, complex, bewilderment. See, God called you from wherever you come from, whether it be from the different states or the different parts of the world. Severed you out from among the people. See, and here you are. Here you are as the song said, They come from the east and the west. See and here you are. (Singing) And remember, if I must believe God to call those things that are not as though they are, if I'm sick I must believe that I'm well. Isn't that right? Someone would say, You can't do that. How then do I believe that I'm saved? When you look at me and say, What are you saved from? You're down here just like I am in this place. Someone would say, Well, you're not telling the truth. You're lying when you say your healed if you got problems if your human senses record problems, then why do you lie by saying you're saved when your human senses record the infirmities of the flesh and all kind of bewilderment as to question your salvation even as Satan said to Jesus, If you be the child of God. You confess it anyway, calling those things that are not as though they are by faith because it was a documented thing at Calvary. We're confessing this because all of it went together. Deliverance means also salvation as to your healing. As from poverty, My blessing maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. So then what am I praising Him for? I am praising Him for my eternal life. I am praising Him because my body has been eternally redeemed. I have comprehended through the revealing of this mystery as the revealed mind of that that was hid in Christ from the foundation of the world as the mind of God. Comprehending this light that has shined in this intellectual darkness of the endtime when people are in gross darkness from their intellectual fervor. And what am I believing Him for? The redemption of my body. The redemption of my body. I've learned a little bit about it as to healing, and a little more about it as to comfort, a little more about it that I don't have to fear, a little more about it that I don't have to let my heart be troubled and a little more and a little more and and little more until finally I've learned that it's all Him. It's not me living but Him. And in Him there is no sickness. In Him there is no fear. In Him there is no death. He was dead. Now He's alive forevermore. And I am the resurrected Christ that came up from the grave. Let's give the Lord a hand. Somebody say, Hallelujah! Bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. As to whatever measure I can believe and accept as to the full measure of the full stature and the full reward, not me living but Him Paul said. The life I now live, I live by Him. So what am I believing for? To overcome and set down in the throne. My life is in His spirit. His Spirit is in His body and His body is on the throne. I made it into that beautiful place. Heaven is His throne. Earth is His footstool. His will being done on earth as to the footstool, even as it is in heaven as to the light manifest within the members, that the glory might be here, that we may say with Him, the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ. And that's why that when we chartered many years ago it's called the thing as it was, the flag was made as to declare that the kingdoms of this world hath become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ because it did at Calvary. Satan fell from heaven at Calvary. We received power as to the Holy Spirit and now we're caught up to heaven. And now the revelation is from Calvary over as to the church ages is being made known and has been made known as to the finishing of the mystery. It's coming around to the elect, only to the elect. Some has received 30 fold. Some has received 60 fold. Some has received a 100 fold. And he that be perfect shall be as his master as to go on as to the translation as to these wonderful things of God. So then we're believing. Why? Someone would say, Well, we got to die, Brother Pike. Why? Why? There is no death to me. There is no death to you. Why should we play games? Satan and death plays games with the world. We're not playing games. What power does death have over Jesus or His body? See, if we're the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and we have all power over the enemy and death is an enemy, what power doth death have over you? Why play games with fear and frustration and anxiety? Be of a good courage. I am your strength. Be not dismayed. I will not leave thee nor forsake thee. Let's lift our hands again and praise Him for all things, the abundance of all things, as to what you already are in Him, calling those things that are not as though they are, though you cannot see your body or someone's body as that glorified body as Jesus standing up there at the Mount of Transfiguration. You look and you see yourself as that Christ standing on the Mount of Transfiguration because He didn't have to do that to be glorified. He was God the glory and that Christ was the glory that was concealed within that body of Jesus. When it came to earth it came to work it's way proportionally, to grow in favor with man and God and to be our example from the manger to the cross to show us how to get back home, folks. And that mind was being revealed in Him which mind comes into you as a babe just as He was born in a manger and among the beast as to the people of this world and some brute beast made to be taken and burned. And it is revealing itself to you as the Revelation of Jesus Christ or revealing. As it revealed to Him that He was the Christ, it is revealing to you that you are the Christ. Members in particular that you're not of this world. You're of heaven. Not back to the dust as the worm, as upon the belly to eat as to the belly as to all your labor for your belly, but we are eating as Jesus said, I have manna. I have food. I have something to eat that you know not of. For mine is to do the will of my Father, to finish the work. He said, I'm not of this world. Ye are of this world. He said and to you and I that love Him, ye also are not of this world. And the world will hate you, because if you was of this world, the world would love you and you could join them in their diplomacies and their finales and frolics of the flesh. Satan, Satan the prince of this world savors the things that be of the world. But all of that will pass away. You are a new creature. There is a new world. Now the old things have passed away. And behold, you are a new creature and you are in a new world. You are in a new world. So believe that that body is taken care of. That body is redeemed with the redemption, recognize that He already purchased that as His possession and make this manifest as much as you can to see whether you get 30 fold, 60 fold, 100 fold as to what you're going to surrender to or what you're going to follow after. But folks, begin to believe. If you're going to get your healing, you're going to have to believe and walk by faith and not by sight. If the promise said, By His stripes you're healed, then He said, If I ask, believe. Don't doubt. It's mine. Say what you will. Don't doubt. It's yours. Ask what you will in my name. I'll give it to you. Everyone that asketh receiveth. But remember you receive according to your faith. Jesus said, Be it unto you. Whether it is half-hearted, whether it is a faith that is not very strong or be strong in the power of His might as to faith. Abraham was strong in faith giving glory to God. As your faith being strengthened through prayer and through fasting, through study of the Word, through self-denial, through virtues coming out from the world and being virtuous and having the mind of Christ, to meditate in His lovely Word day and night, to think on anything that's lovely and full of virtue so that you can get stronger and energize this body or charge this body or activate this body with that furbishing and refurbishing, to be full of the Holy Ghost as to this bodily furbishing and refurbishing. So then to believe that you are healed. You are not healed then it is a true fact you are confessing the truth if you truly believe, because in God it was not so from the beginning and your afflictions is but vanity. Your world is vanity. Believe it away. Believe the afflictions away. Believe this old beast image away instead of pampering it. Believe the characteristics of the beast away instead of cuddling it as to the thing that you like to do as to the thrill of the flesh, to savor the things that be of the flesh. Believe death away, believe this image of the bastard child away as to that which is ugly in His sight. He despises the image thereof. And in the morning when the light breaks forth and He sees you without the change, you don't make the change, He'll despise you and drive your image from His presence forever. See so believe it to the change. Believe it's the purchased possession. Believe the work is done because we're the generation now that's coming into this. No more caskets, no more putting in the grown because it never was so from the beginning. We were in His loins. We're life. We sang with God before the world ever was in His foreknowledge. We leaped for joy in His foreknowledge. And the leaping for joy reached way out to the change when we'll shout and say, Death, where is thy sting? And grave, where is thy victory? At that change God's already seen it. It's already established in the foreknowledge. And He sent His mind to reveal this to you a little at a time. As to your educational stride as to going on to finish your schooling, to come to your diplomacy, to be about your Father's business. And folks, we're here. We're here. Believe for that celestial glory. Calling it because God said, You're bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. That's the confession of truth. To acknowledge the other through your senses, your human senses, it's a lying vanity. That's to acknowledge a lie, and that is to confess a lie. When you confess that you have pain and misery and all these things, you're confessing a lie. If you are a child of God you are confessing a lie. Because your body is dead, buried and gone by Calvary. And that body is not there, neither is that pain there, neither is the other things there. That is a lying vanity. And that is Satan the spiritual powers of evil as to spiritual wickedness in high places, wrestling against your mind and bringing lying vanities to afflict you with, and you are acknowledging it and he is harassing and taking you through a nightmare that you're going to wake up from. And you need to get rid of that, death. This unbecoming image, all of these things, you got to get rid of it, folks. The time is here. (Tape 3 Side 1)...their cunning cunningness, their jealousies, their evil, their adulterers, all these things because they're children of corruption. And God is going to bring it to pass until they'll gnaw their tongues for pain, take away all of the illumination of the blood on the seat of atonement. And the second heaven will fade away. It will be gone because it's only an illumination by His lovely presence. When it lifted in the garden, where then is the garden? Where then was Adam and Eve? And when it came back at Calvary, where then are we? In His presence is life. Oh hallelujah! Let's sing this again. I'll praise Him. All those things come upon you because you praise not the Lord thy God with joyfulness of heart. Giving Him thanks for all things that He's already done as to the documented. See, start loving Him. Start using it. Start enjoying it. See, because to praise to believe to rejoice is the proof of your believing. And to believe it brings it all effective. And all of those things cannot come upon you. They're eradicated by your joy. A merry heart doth good like a medicine. Once again now. (Singing) Will you praise Him? Do you praise Him? Do you believe what I said? Are you straightening out your minds now? Are you turning your faith loose to God? Are you letting that believing go free from that old intellectual reasoning, that old bondage of the flesh, that old human sense. And the old human senses has got your believing in bondage. Are you going to turn it loose now and let it go out to God? Come on folks. If thou canst believe. Jesus said, Don't be afraid. Don't fear. The things of God have an end. The mysteries of God will be finished. The sounding of the trumpet. You're the people upon whom the ends of the world have come because you seen it, you recognized it. It's a mind. It was before the world ever was and manifested at Calvary; and now you're born into your generation and you come to your Calvary. (Singing) I'm going to ask Brother Pasdon to come if he will and dismiss us as you sing. (Singing)
