Members Of God's Body

...maybe start on the nineteenth. Then probably__ I really don't know but probably, the Lord will probably help us to get back just before Christmas. Maybe a few days before Christmas. I really don't know just what it is, but I think, maybe, it might be around Christmas time. Let's read from over in the book of Psalms in the thirty-eighth chapter. It says, "O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure for thine arrows stick fast in me and thy hand presseth me sore." And then is Psalms the fortieth chapter, "I waited patiently for the Lord and he inclined unto me and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings. You know, some of the most beautiful writings that I know of are found in the book of Psalms in the meditations and prayers of David and also in the book of Solomon, as to the songs of Solomon, or Proverbs. Some of the greatest wisdom of expression that I have ever known came from the lips of Solomon who got careless and still fell into problems. You know, there's one thing that I've learned; that wisdom won't do it. Your consecrated efforts, as to your intelligence and ability, your wealth, your reputation, your appearance, won't do it. And I have found that in every case everything that man has ever utilized as to be successful and to do the thing that God wants done has always been a failure. And though there have been great men, great wonderful men that seems to have laid everything to the line; yet when you really consider it and you get right down to the foundation and you search it out you find out that somewhere or another they just gave a little part of it and they never did really get it over, as to a complete thing. But, then the Bible speaks of a time when the Lord Jesus Himself shall come. And the Bible said, in that day He alone shall be exalted for a king shall reign in righteousness for it is He that was bruised for you. His hands were pierced for you. His feet were pierced for you and the spear pierced His side and they plowed His back like furrows in a field. And it was Him upon Whose head the crown of thorns came. And it is He that shall capstone the whole operation at the end time. It is Christ alone that shall be known and Christ alone that shall be seen. And like I was saying to my companion today, we look around us and we see lots of great people. And we see lots of great things happening and we're really living in a time of changing events, everyday everything almost seems brand new. Whereas, God said in His work I'll do a new thing for My mercy is new everyday. So we find that things are changing everyday, as to the world, but the Lord Jesus Christ He never changes. He's the same yesterday, today and for ever. And we are sure of one thing; that if He said He would come and capstone this operation, as to make it complete (Whereas, the Bible said we're complete in Him) then it will be so. He will come. He said, I will come. He said, And I will return unto you the second time without sin unto salvation to them that look for me and though the world shall not see me; yet ye shall see me for I shall be in you. Though the world shall not see me. You know, we wait for the coming of the Lord. We wait daily for the coming of the Lord and we encourage ourself to say, Well, He's coming. He's coming. That's good. That's wonderful. Looking in His direction. Look up for thy redemption draweth nigh. But then on the other hand He said, I will return unto you. I will return though the world will not see me. Now, it's evident that when the Lord Jesus returns into this world and every eye shall see Him and they that pierced him shall narrowly look upon Him. And everything in heaven and everything in the earth and everything under the earth shall give praise and honor and glory unto Him. And every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. We know that it is evident as to the way the Scripture has given that that there is something going on that we don't understand. How is it He says, And every eye shall see me, even they that pierced me shall narrowly look upon me? And yet He says to the church, I will return unto you. If I go away__ I go to prepare a place and if I prepare a place I will return again to receive you unto My own that where I am there you may be also. And said, I will come unto you again. If I go away I will send a comforter. If I go not away I can't send a comforter. In that it was Christ saying, as long as I abide in this natural body of Jesus Christ I cannot abide in your body. I'm just a man here with you. But if I go away__ Jesus said, If I go away then the Christ on the inside will come back, which is the Holy Ghost comforter. And He shall come to you. And then He said, I shall come to you. And when He comes He shall testify of Me. Or, I shall come to you and you shall see me but the world shall not see me for I shall be in you. Now, I say again, am I waiting then for Him to come to where every eye shall will Him? Why am I waiting for that? Isn't that the judgment hour? Isn't that the time of the judgment? Doesn't it say in the book of Revelation that all of a sudden the sign of the Son of Man appears in heaven, as to the Jewish perspective? And when the time of Jacob's trouble comes at the beginning of the tribulation? And doesn't it say right there that they shall run for the caves and they shall cry for the rocks and mountains to fall upon them and hide them from the face of Him that sitteth upon the throne for the great day of His wrath is come and who then shall be able to stand? So, is that what we're waiting for? That's not what we're waiting for. But then what are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? We're not waiting. We are born again. We have passed from death unto life. We are now the Sons of God and we already have been chosen out of the world and we already dwell in heaven. And we're already a new creature and we're already in a new world. And already old things have passed away and behold all things are new and already our Lord has come and our Savior has come and we're the temples of the living God. And we're the bone and body that you keep looking for and we're the bone and body and already He dwells on the inside of us and we're the tabernacle of God in the earth. And already the Gentiles are getting their visitation. And already here we are dwelling in heaven, caught up to cast the devil out. And already we are the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, members in particular, bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. And already royal blood flows through our veins. And already we've conquered all things and already Satan hath no power over us for He that is within you is greater than Lucifer as to the god that's in this world. And already there is nothing that can touch you. Nothing can come near your dwelling. You are without spot, you are without wrinkle, you are without blemish and the preacher is set there for one reason and that is as to the perfecting of your believing, Paul said, or the perfecting of your faith, which means that the Word of God is to be preached to you and faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God and you are from glory to glory already being transformated in mind that this heavenly treasure that you already have in the earthen vessel might be made manifest in your mortal genes, as to a full ultimatum of the expression of Christ Jesus on the inside and you are subduing the body everyday, more and more and more until the ultimatum of this great wonderful life that appeared in Moses' face, that appeared in Stephen's face, that appeared in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ on this very earth, as to the Mount of Transfiguration. This great wonderful illumination, already this is breaking forth within you, as t wisdom to make your face to shine. And already this great wonderful understanding is excelling natural wisdom and already it's excelling natural knowledge, as to the old tree of knowledge. And already it's becoming a bright light that is sweeping out through the membership of this body that the world may come and kneel at your feet and praise you, the Bible said, and to glorify God within you for God shall suddenly return into His temple and all the world will bow down at your feet. And I will make them to bow down at your feet to know that I have loved you. Already these things are taking place. Already you're chosen out of the world. Already you're hide with Christ in God. Already you are sitting there on the throne with the Lord Jesus. And already you have been chosen out of the flesh and the flesh has been killed. It's been buried in a watery grave and already it's gone forever. And now here we are in His lovely presence and it would take all night long just to explain a few things as to a conformation of that. But already I've given you enough Scripture that you that are children of God, and you that understand, realize what I am saying. So, why do we wait? If any man deny that these things that I am saying is__ If he denies that they are true he is Antichrist for the Bible said any man that denies that Christ has come in the flesh is Antichrist. So then, tonight I confess that Christ is in my mortal genes and in my body and this life I now life, as to the inner man, I live it in my flesh by the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. And I'm trying everyday, through the understanding of God and the transformating of the mind to make manifest in my mortal genes the fullness of that measure as to whatever I've been able to obtain unto as to the membership, of that wonderful body of the Lord Jesus even as Jesus did, not going to Calvary or going to the grave or waiting for some kind of rapture. But by making it manifest in my mortal genes as He did day by day until He appeared there on the mountain, having walked up to the mountain, or the mountain top, with James and John and Peter and there before their very eyes was transfigured and appeared in glory with Moses and with Elijah, who also had went away into that wonderful world of glory where Enoch went and where Jesus then was standing. And when this was seen, that He had completed His course, that He had perfected the church and now there it was, it had passed the grave that it now was alive forever more. It was full power over the powers of the devil for the Christ that has conquered Satan and all the flesh and the things of the world saying, God hath given me all power over all flesh. Now it was made manifest that Satan now was cast out and had no more power and all he did was step down from that wonderful glory and there he was again in their midst. And then He stepped down from the mountain, He went on His way to Calvary and then took that body as a lamb and as a blood offering, took it up to Calvary and to the cross and there it was smitten of the great Spirit to show that it had been completely swallowed up by the act of that Shekinah that was revealed from within and there He smote that thing. God smote that thing to get rid of me and to get rid of you and to get rid of all that the grace of God might be upon all mankind, even to them that are murderers and liars and cheats and whatever, that they might continue to live down to the end of church ages. And that through the church ages this wonderful tutoring from the ministry of these angelic beings that were to come down and tutor the people as the church age messengers (It was said of John, A man sent from God.) that during this time they were to make known to the church the great wonderful revelation. Someone would say, The revelation of what, Brother Pike? Someone else would say, The revelation that they should go on with God and if they hold out and don't backslide that they, at the end of the church ages or just before death, if they can just hand in there that they'll die and then they'll be saved. No, that's not it at all. What it was, it was to make known to them that the great things of God were finished from the foundation of the world in Christ, that we're complete in Christ. We're perfected forever in Christ. We are made whole. We are heirs and joint heirs with Christ Jesus and we have overcome by the Lord Jesus Christ and He hath perfected us forever, having sanctified us once and for all by the offering up of the body of Christ. And these messengers were to preach to the people that like little children, as to a transformation of mind, to revel this heavenly treasure they already have in their earthen vessel that it might be made manifest, as through their intelligence into their mortal genes as an understanding to swallow up death for death is thus swallowed up in victory. And in that they are already free from death on the inside and already you are sons of God, this is called the manifestation of the sons of God. Whereas, the Bible uses the terms that the creature itself, which is the natural body, shall also be delivered from the corruption in that the creature was made subject to vanity by reason of God who subjected the same in hope and it would be delivered into the glorious liberties of the sons of God, which sons of God are already on the inside. And Peter said, If I, as a son of God, live in this earthy tabernacle then should the time come that it should be dissolved then I have another one eternal in the heavens not made with hands. Or, that is, if I be crucified with Christ, I've been buried with Christ, I have also been resurrected with Christ and now it's not me living but God is looking at the body of Lord Jesus which is at the right hand of God and my spirit has already been translated into the Christ spirit and now He, when He, my life appears then I shall be like Him for I shall see Him like He is. And then the change of this body, as to the adoption belonging to the Jews to be brought in, then it will be made manifest, as to the manifestation of the sons of God that they may appear that all the world may see them. So then, the preacher is preaching what has already happened. All of the promises of God are yea and amen. And Paul said, When I came to you preaching I didn't come to you preaching yea and nay. I came to you preaching yea. All of the promises of God are yea and amen. Not yea and nay, or maybe it will happen, or maybe it won't. Or perhaps you might be eligible, or perhaps your not, or perhaps you might get it and someone else don't, but I brought it to you in the affirmative and I am your minister. I am here to preach, as to the ministry set for the perfecting of the saints. That is, of the faith of the saints. And to, I wish this that your faith might be made perfect, or the perfecting of your faith. I'm here to preach to you the Word of God, that within this Word there is an understanding that the world will not get, though they hear this Word. But only them that have the Day Star dawning within them, as to that light that will penetrate that knowledge of darkness, in that God, the great spirit of understanding, veils Himself within darkness. And as you split the atom, as to the nucleus, or the light and the birth and the great light, so then, God at Calvary has rent the veil and out of that comes the ark of the covenant, as to that wonderful understanding of that great Holy Spirit, that great light, which means understanding, that the world cannot see, in that scientists say you cannot see light. So, we know then that that light is being reveled to us through the church ages, as to the tutoring, a little at a time until we come to the finals, the great finale, as to the end of the church ages, following in a continuity and a stream. Following until the whole comes, as to the brightness of the light, as to seven times and then, there it is. There is no more of you left, as it was with Enoch walking with God for three hundred years and then he was not for God took him, for before God took him he had this testimony that he pleased God. And having pleased God it brought faith and faith brought translation and transformation, and transfiguration. And so then, away he went, translated by faith that he should not see death. Why? Because death is an enemy that was conquered before the world ever was through the Lord Jesus Christ as the lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world and manifested in the later times as the sacrifice of God to bring the revealed, as through the church ages that it might be tutored to the saints and tell them that they are eternal and that they are Gods. And that they have passed from death unto life. And that they shall never come into condemnation because there is no condemnation to them who are in the spirit, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. Or that is, as to bring to them the understanding that they cannot walk in the flesh because God has chosen them out of the flesh and hid them with Christ in God whom the heavens have received until the restoring of all things. And God has taken their image, as to the bastard child image and that which God abhors, saying, I will despise your image at the dawning of the Day Star, as to this light coming, beginning as to the church ages. And God has taken that bastard child. He has smitten that bastard child. He hath laid him away and forever He will never see him anymore in smiting the Lord Jesus because if righteousness unto life comes by one man Jesus Christ, he doesn't need another in that condemnation unto death come by only one man Adam. All being under condemnation unto death because of one man it only took one man to live right, to perfect everything, and to bring us back into the wonderful love of God, to restore the lost Shekinah of that image and to make us forever what we are in the Lord Jesus' mind and in His sight. So this was given to us in Christ before the world ever was, brought to light at Calvary, as to the rent veil, giving us a seven dimensional projecting of this church age thing, as I brought out the other night as to Jacob's ladder. And in this we are finding the revealed, which is called the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Or that is, Jesus Christ, the invisible one, now coming to the surface. You now can see what you could not see with your natural mind. Through the eyes of understanding you are now comprehending the light, the height, the depth, the width and the length. And the world, though this light shines in the midst of them the Bible said they see it not, neither can they comprehend it. So then, we are comprehending what we already are, what we've always been and what we forever shall be in that from the loins of God we were sons of God. And in that we cannot die we are Gods. Because that's what Gods are. It's something that cannot die, that's in every generation, that's on and on throughout eternity and it's being revealed to us and that is why it is by faith. To believe in His finished works. They said, Well, what must we do to work the works of God? He said, I'm the works. You know, believe on me. You believe unto righteousness with your heart. That is, you believe in what He has done in your behalf and you are complete in Him. And what God wanted us to be He made us to be in Him. And then He sent the mind and spirit of Christ that was in that body to come into us and to reveal to us, as to what measure we will allow it to be there of this wonderful thing as to the membership of the body to be the God body, or the tabernacle of God in the earth. So, through the tribulation period it will be that Moses and Elijah will reveal what happened through the church ages, as to the revelation to us. Which is the revelation of Christ within you, the hope of glory. As it was revealed to Jesus that He was God, so then that Christ spirit on the inside being God is now revealing to you that ye are Gods, as membership. When we think about that then we realize that the world has missed it but the elect hasn't. Someone would say, Well, I believe the world has got it. They couldn't have it because the Bible said they shall not see when good comes. With all of their mastery, as Einstein, or whoever, they never did even see it. The Bible said this is a path that they will never see. And no one has ever attained unto it. No one has ever gotten in this light; not even one person upon the earth. All have corrupted their way. All have turned to their own way. God hath laid upon Him the iniquity of us all and no man has ever seen God, which is the great light, because He cannot see light. Therefore, no man has ever seen light. No woman has ever seen light. You cannot see God and live. Even Moses. They said, Put the veil over you face and come to us, you know, and you can talk to God and then you can talk to us. So then, no one dwells in that light which means in that mind, in that understanding, in that revelation, except Christ Jesus Himself. And no man can approach unto that light, which is the understanding but we, as the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. We can approach unto that light. We dwell in that light. That light belongs to us as to whatever the membership might be so is your measure of that light. And as to whatever you've given your body to, going on to the full measure of the full stature, going on to the full reward. Whatever measure you have denied yourself of, as to the world, to replace it with the measure of Christ, so then are ye in Christ Jesus and in that height, in that wonderful glory you have excelled. And into that wonderful height. And if you go the other way, some have never known the depths of Satan, as to the greater damnation, as to what they have given themselves to in the mind of darkness, as to intellectual ignorance. Even the darkness, Paul said, as in you. Your ignorance that cannot comprehend the heights, the depths, the width and the length. And so then, when I preach this tonight, even though you might hear you don't hear because you don't have ears to hear. And seeing, you might think that you see but you don't have eyes to see. See? So then there is spiritual eyes for a spiritual man. And there are spiritual ears for a spiritual man. And there is a spiritual world for a spiritual man. And they that belong to God, they don't just reflect this light as the grace and mercy coming down from heaven upon them, as the rain upon the tear and upon the wheat, but there is a divine conception of heart and this thing begins to take root and it begins to grow and it begins to transformate your mind. And suddenly, you find out you want to be holy and you want to be godly. Holy in body and spirit, and that, as Paul said, I'd like to present you body, soul and spirit blameless. And you find out that this wonderful desire, hunger and thirsting, brings you the wonderful light of that ever excelling glory while others just kind of nip and tuck a little bit around and don't really get down to business. Men like Paul said, I forget all that's behind. This I do. I forget all of my prestige. I forget all of the things that I've done, all of these things that I know about. I'm forgetting all of that that is behind. I press forward to the prize and the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus, which means to come into the full revelation and have the full the place with God, as to that bride. See? So He said, I forget all of those things that are behind. And someone would say, But, Brother Pike, what about my necklace and my gold ring and my bracelets and all these other things, and the way I want to dress and the way I want to do and whatever. Well, there is an allowance at a certain point, depending, see? And can I do any of those things? Paul said, All things are lawful to me. All things are lawful to me. What does he mean? He means, I'm not in the flesh anyway. There is nothing that you could do to me anyway. The flesh is dead; it's gone. And sinful flesh is no more. And I am now the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is nothing that's unlawful to me. All the law has been fulfilled in my behalf. Said, There is nothing unlawful for me. See? And there is nothing unclean to me or to anyone that is clean by the spirit. But to the defiled and unbelieving all things are unclean to them. Even their conscious is defiled. But to the pure and the believing is there nothing unclean. So, give of your time. Give of your substance. Move on to God. And then he said, Now, all these things are lawful to me. That is, I'm allowed these things, he said, but they are not expedient. That is, they don't expedite my cause. And they don't edify me. That is, I don't get anything out of them. It's just an ignorance. It's just something of the flesh. So, you can have your little things that you want to do. You can go on doing your little thing and you can nip and you can cut corners and you can say, Well, you know, I'm smart. I know Brother Pike preaches this. And I know that these people preach this but with me, you know, I'm smart enough to see through them things and I can take that great wonderful thing that God is giving and I still do these other things because there is not really any sin in it because I've analyzed it. See? It shows that you are still in a condition of ignorance and don't understand because when you come to this light and you discover this pearl of great price, you sell out to God. You sell all that you've got. You don't want no more of your thinking. You want to cast down every thought, all of the imagination, bring into captivity to the obedience of Jesus Christ every thought to where you are not doing any thinking. It's not you thinking but it's the mind of Christ within you and it's not you living but it's God living on the inside of you and the nature of Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever, is constantly moving toward the perfection of Almighty God, pressing forward to the prize of the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus, for the Bible said when you find this field of the pearl of great price you'll sell all that you have. So then, we see that we misunderstand and we think we know something when we don't know something as we ought to know. And so then, you've got thirty fold, and sixty fold. You've got a hundred fold. You've got children, some that are in the third grade, some are in kindergarten and some are going on and some have excelled, as the Einstein of today, or the Einsteins of today. So they've excelled even into the Celestial as to the heavens and can unlock the mysteries of the heaven, as to the natural things. So, I said all of that to say this, just in the way of exhorting. I kind of promised myself I wouldn't hold you long tonight but I say that in this way. Do we really understand? Do we really know? Are we really applying ourself? Have we really gone on with God? Are we really the church? as to the early church? Are we doing anything that they did? Are we really under a persecution? Are we going through anything? Have we gotten out of eating the old belly and just being on the old belly to eat and to drink and to say hallelujah, I'm on my way to heaven or almost, the way Charismatics do? You know, or we evangelist got to have a new car and a new home and a new this and a new that, and an education and position and television and project ourself and let everybody see us? Or are we (Tape one, side two.)...going on. This is why the great and mighty things of God are not given to us. The Bible said, My hand is not short that it cannot reach you. My ear is not dull that it cannot hear you, but thine iniquities have separated between thee and thy God and kept thee back from great things. So then, the image of iniquity has to be buried. You have to overcome it, make manifest in your mortal genes the life of Christ, this heavenly mind as to that treasure, to put it down and transformate that mind and change that body, change your attitude, change you way of thinking, get rid of your jealousy and temper and get rid of the old passions. And get rid of all the things that gnaw at you and begin to think about holy things. And let your conversation be in heaven and seek heavenly things and begin to hunger and thirst after the wonderful things of God. Stop trying to build a kingdom in this world or do things in this world that are contrary to God for the Bible said abstain from your fleshly desire, as to your fleshly lust. Said all that it does, as to the bodily lust, it warreth against the soul and it grieves the Holy Spirit. And the Bible said grieve not that great wonderful spirit of Christ on the inside of you that's interwoven with your spirit that has sealed your spirit, as to the inner man until the day of the change, as to the redemption of that body. So, let the light shine. The Bible said, I'm the light of the world. As Jesus said, I go away and now ye are the light of the world and so let your light shine that men may see your good works and glorify your Heavenly Father, that men that are in darkness may see your light and come to the shining of the light of the Gentiles. This is what God is wanting. And remember one thing in closing here. God has set two cherubs, two cherubs, at the gate of the garden and when man was driven out he cannot get back in. He has the sentence of death within the body; it must go to Calvary and the spirit has to be freed like the cocoon is to the butterfly. And it has to be freed before it can be a heavenly creature. The last man Adam was made a quickening spirit, the first man, as to the image you bear was made a living soul. The sin of that living soul brought death, even by the Lord Jesus. But He took it and He took it away in your behalf because you have not yet come to the knowledge of sin. And where there is no knowledge of sin, sis is not is not impute. He was able to do that. But if you come to the knowledge and then you go on to do your thing in life then you are cut off right then and there for the Bible teaches that when you come to the knowledge of right and wrong, as to the knowledge of God and then you willingly go back into the things of the world you count the blood an unholy thing and you treasure the things of the world more, thinking you're going to have the world and have those things and there is no more sacrifice, as to the atonement. Not in your behalf, not for sin. Only the fearful looking forward to of the fiery indignation of God that shall devour his adversaries. That is to say, looking forward to the judgments of God on you all the time. And your evil heart will cause His wrath to abide upon you. So then, to believe with the heart unto righteousness, to believe in what Christ did for you and then in that, that sanctifies your heart by faith and then that allows His spirit to come into you, which is eternal life, as to the gift of the Holy Ghost. And then with that you make a confession unto salvation. For with the lips you confess as whatever there is in the heart. And then the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, your high priest, He, He the author of your faith and the finisher of your faith, He is the high priest of your confession and what you confess then say what you will, believe it and it will be done unto you. Don't doubt. And then, the Bible said, God hath thus imputed your faith unto you for righteousness. Or that is, He brought His righteousness through Christ to you by your believing unto His righteousness. And then your confession has made it effective in your heart and now you are a son of God. Blessed is the man unto whom God will not impute sin. There is a person that cannot sin because they are born of God and the seed of God remaineth in them and their spirit is sealed and the evil one toucheth them not. But that Christ of light on the inside is power over the darkness of this intellectual world and they are perfect. And we are here to perfect their faith, to make this indwelling light manifest in these mortal genes. So, that's the change, as to the diplomacy and the birth of the child. And in this we know then that there is a man that's blessed. Blessed is the man whose sins are covered with the blood and his iniquity, as to the crucifying of this body is laid away. And blessed is the man unto whom God will not impute sin, even the man that dwells in heaven. And darkness can't come near that world of light. And blessed is the man unto whom God imputeth faith for righteousness. Let's give the Lord a hand. All right, let's sing a little chorus together, can we? Remember, there are two cherubs that is at the gate of paradise, at the garden with their flaming swords. I make my ministers a flaming fire. They guard that garden but there are two that He specifically speaks of. These two cherubs, as to the flaming sword, and these cherubs are Moses and Elijah. And He appeared in their midst on the mount of transfiguration because the mount was the door, or the gate to heaven. As Jacob said, I found the door to heaven. And as he stood there,having entered in, they saw the gate. Jesus said, I am the door and they saw the law and the prophets, which had to do with those flaming swords as to the cherubs that you can't get in because you've got to fulfill the law and you've got to fulfill the prophets and there is no way. But when Jesus stood on the mountain, as Samson (I brought it out the other night) having pulled down the pillars, now there is a new highway to glory. The one that Jesus trod. The one that Jesus made. And with a halo I'm traveling the pathway to God. So then, we know that there is something happening. I told you of an occasion where I was in Florida (I bring it back every once in awhile) and there I was fasting and there I was praying lengthy through the night, and there I was trying to work on a ship in the daytime and then I was trying to preach a revival when the evening came. And one night while praying all of a sudden I went into a vision and I saw myself in great travail. Paul said, I travailed until Christ be formed within you and I was trying to bring forth a child in my life like a woman in travail, as to the church. And I was travailing and I was just in agony and then all of a sudden, all of a sudden I heard something say, Oh, no. It didn't say the words; it just brought the melody. It brought the melody like: On a hillside so lonely knelt Jesus one day, soul wounded, the Bible said, He went there to pray. By friends forsaken, and in this agony sorrow He could feel. But then it went on to say: A golden day has broken in old Gethsemane and the mornings all come singing the songs of victory. For there's a new highway to glory, the one that Jesus trod. With a halo we're traveling the highway of God. See? I didn't know that. All I could here was the melody. It just rang out and rang out in my travail. And when I came out of it I said, Oh, my God, what in the world is this? I was so dumbfounded and I said, What is this? And then the melody kept ringing and I thought, I know that melody. I've heard it somewhere. And then all of a sudden the words began to come. A golden day has broken. So, that's where we're at, folks. Those cherubs are there. He fulfilled the law and the prophets. He pulled the pillars down and the enemies were destroyed with Samson. And then, as three thousand were killed when Samson pulled the pillars down, on Pentecost three thousand came and were restored. Which meant that the door was Jesus name; Peter opening the door to Jews and Gentiles and that the baptism had to do with it, as to the burial and resurrection. And there is was, three thousand. And today, beginning in Jerusalem into the uttermost parts of the earth then there comes forth this wonderful gospel, as to the those tutorings of the church age messengers. So then, we know that those cherubs are there, Jesus pulled them down for you and I. The world can't get past them, but you and I have all of that fulfilled within us that went into Christ Jesus. And now He's in us. So then, we found the door. And Peter open that door, as to the rent veil and today we are they that entered in. The Kingdom of God, the law and the prophets until John and He pulled it all down there at Calvary. And then the door was open. And now we have entered into that door. I am the door to the sheepfold and as it was there, all of a sudden the prophets were not there on the mount of transfiguration for the voice said, Here ye Him; it's my Son. And though a trinitarian thing went with the tabernacle, as Peter being the first pope, as perse, and Paul went up into the third heaven being the Gentile, as to the overseer, and then through the church ages made known to us, as to the revelation, in that it was made known to him. And it ends with the revelation, as to the translation of John and then the revelation as to those two prophets coming back again, as to tutor Israel of what the church has already discovered, as faith, to go into the heavens so that they have always been with God. See? Leaping for joy before the foundation of the world when the morning stars sang together. And the lamb being slain there, as to caught up to the throne, Lucifer went out from the foundation of the world. And that's why that he was able, as the ruler of the darkness, to overthrow Adam and Eve in the natural to bring on this process of this great wonderful revealing of what we would have to say much of. That's why Paul said, I cannot say a lot concerning these covering cherubs in my day. But, anyway, it's true that He will appear in the middle of the week and there them two prophets will be, because at the fist of the tribulation period they'll start. And just as Jesus comes and the Jews see the nail prints away goes the prophets again, the two pillars are pulled down because it's all in Him and Israel will find a light. So then, let's sing this little chorus together, can we? (Singing) Can you sing it with me. (Singing.) The altars are open. If you'd like to come to the altar they're open. There is a door that is open in heaven, John said. He finally saw it at the end of the church ages and he realized that Peter had opened the door and all down through the church ages that was the open door. And that at the end of the church ages the door would be closed and the days of the Gentiles were over. And then Moses and Elijah and the tutoring to the Jews to bring the adoption, as to the redemption of the body, for to them belongs the adoption because they have to do with the body and we have to do with the spirit. And I remind you again: It the casting away of the Jews be the reconciling of the world what will the receiving of the Jews be but the adoption, the change, or life from the dead because the body must be adopted. The spirit is already born into the kingdom. You are already a son of God but for the manifestation of the sons of God there must be a bodily adoption and that must be the law. And the Jews must come and reinstate the law and take away this perverted form of law that sprang from that law to become the head of the nation and stop all of this foolishness of the Gentiles and of the devil. (Singing.) Let's sing this little chorus. (Singing.) Can you sing it with me? (Singing.) Can you sing it one more time? (Singing.) Can you lift your hands up with me and close your eyes? (Singing.) I wonder if Brother Richard, the Jew, would come up and dismiss us tonight? (Singing.)
