Thy Light Has Come

Where the anointing is it breaks the yoke. Isaiah 61; when the Lord said arise He spoke of putting on your beautiful garments. And then as He said to then, Jesus said, Awake thou that sleepest. And the Bible said when they awoke they saw His glory. So Isaiah 60 and 1 he called them to the light. He said, Thy light has risen and the glory of God is upon thee. So then, the light of God has arisen at last. Somebody would say, Well, Brother Pike, what are you talking about when you say thy light has risen? Thy light has risen. What are you talking about the light has risen? You come to understand. This great wonderful light shines in darkness; the darkness can't comprehend it. There are people all around you that are in darkness and they can't comprehend this great marvelous light. But see? You do comprehend it. You comprehend the heights, the depths, the length, the width. You comprehend it but the others don't. The laws, the prophets until Calvary and since that time what is it? What is it? What is it since Calvary? Have you ever stopped to think what it is since Calvary? Calvary. Since Calvary. The kingdom of God has already come. Somebody say hallelujah! I said the kingdom of God has already come. The kingdom of God has been here all this time and like the song writer said he was here all the time. Our king has been here all the time. The kingdom of God has been here all the time and God has been waiting for us to see it, to come to our light, to come to understand and cast off the intellectual darkness, or the control of this world, to stand up and say, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We're sons of God. Glory to God. Now, beloved, we're already the son of God. Our light is come and Hallelujah! it's time for us to rise up and shine. I mean shine like we've never shined before. Shine so bright that all of the stars of the world will back off, and shine so bright the legislative powers will pull down the shades. And everything will back off and say, My God! I thought I had understanding. Look at that light. Come on, folks, that's the way it is. You're sons of God. You're ready to rise and take the kingdom. Not only the kingdom of God but the kingdoms of this world to possess it forever and forever and forever. Somebody say hallelujah! I mean it's right now, not day after tomorrow but it's right now. The hour is here to rise up and take the kingdom and possess it forever and ever. And God said nothing will stand before you. No weapon that is formed shall prosper before you. And everything that comes before you, He said, I'll put it out of the way just march like mighty men and let that light shine and no matter what gets in front of you say, Hallelujah, I am the son of God. I am the son of God; I rule with a rod of iron. God is with me. This is all; everything in this world is mine. Everything that's done here, whether in good or evil, I'm in control of it. Hallelujah! What ever I say that's the way it will be. Whatever I decree it my heart, it doesn't matter who it is, the power, the great, the majesty or whatever; it doesn't matter. You are the rulers of the world. You're the government of the world. You're the controller of the world. See? You're sons of God. Somebody say hallelujah! Do you believe that? Do you believe that? Hallelujah! Hallelujah! So then, we get enthused about this thing. So ever since Calvary what has it been? It has been the wonderful kingdom of God. Now I say this to you again. You know, we're not waiting for something. One of the greatest detriments in the ministry that I know of is people who are always waiting for something. They're always waiting. Somebody said, But, Brother Pike, the Bible said, they that wait upon the Lord. I know that. I know that and they waited upon the Lord for about four thousand years and finally He came. And on the day of Pentecost they tarried and waited for the Lord until they were filled with the Holy Ghost. But, folks, the Lord is here now. How many of you believe the Lord is here? The Bible said He shall return the second time without sin unto salvation to them that look for Him, or appear. Isn't that right? Somebody says, Well, that means, Brother Pike, when He breaks heaven and when the scrolls of heaven roll back. If it does why does the Bible say, why does it use the terms, Only they that look for Him shall see Him? And why does the Bible use the terms, said, And they're the only ones that's going to see Him? He shall appear unto you and you're the only one that's going to see Him. Are you understanding what I'm saying? The world cannot see Him. Did you know that when Jesus stood and talked with them He said, You've never seen God at anytime. You've never even heard His voice. But, somebody said, Jesus was God. God is a spirit. Jesus said, My Father hath not flesh and bones and you see me have. A spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see me have. He was the tabernacle of God. He was the temple of the living God. He came in the form of a servant and they were looking at the form of a servant. They weren't looking at God. But, folks, today I'm not looking at the form of a servant. Come on, now. I said I'm not looking at the form of a servant. Someone would say, Well, I believe that you are, Brother Pike. Oh, no. Oh, no. The Bible said I'm not to know Him after the flesh. We have known Him after the form of a servant but not anymore. Then what am I looking at? I'm looking at that light. Thy light has come. And the Bible said we're not seeing through a veil darkly as the form of a servant but we're seeing Him face to face. And as we see Him face to face as one beholding himself in a mirror then the Bible said this released glory, this glory that we're beholding, it is changing us from glory to glory into the very image of Almighty God. Have you been looking at it? I've been looking at it a long time and I feel all changed. Hallelujah! I feel that He has washed me by His blood in the washing of regeneration and today I'm a new creature. Old things have passed away and behold, all things are new and I'm a new creature in Christ today. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Somebody say hallelujah! Ever since Calvary something has happened. Ever since Calvary something has happened. Someone would say, Well, what do you mean? I mean the law and the prophets were until John, since that time it's glory hallelujah. Since that time it's glory hallelujah. Since that time it's joy unspeakable and full of glory. Since that time we're serving God with joy. Hallelujah! Since that time we are drawing water out of the wells of salvation with joy and abundance of glory is everywhere and He's above me, He's in me and He's through me. Somebody say Hallelujah! If He's in you, you will feel Him. I said if He's in you, you will feel Him. And the Bible said, And God shall quicken your mortal body by the spirit that dwelleth within you. Hallelujah! Somebody say Hallelujah. I'm talking about the words of spirit and the words of life. These words are words of spirit and these words are words of life. When the seventy left Jesus He said to the twelve, Will you also go? And they said, To where? To whom shall we go? You alone have the words of life. Life. Sing them over again to me; wonderful words, beautiful words, wonderful words of life. Somebody say hallelujah! You know what? A lot of people would say, Brother Pike, what do you mean beautiful words of life? I'm hearing this wonderful word of God and I hear that the law and the prophets are folded up and gone away and I hear that I'm not under the curse anymore. Hallelujah! And I hear that He was manifested to destroy the works of the devil and I hear that it says, And He destroyed him that had power over death and I hear Him say, And now Paul, turn them from darkness unto light, as to that old intellectual doubt and sorrow and worry, the dread of the curse and turn them unto this light, this wonderful light which is in me, unto the faith which is by me; that faith by which they're sanctified. And now I know the law is gone and the faith is here by which I'm sanctified, and He said contend for that faith. Get a hold of that faith. Paul, tell them about this faith. Somebody said, My great faith. No, His great faith. Hallelujah! Said, To My faith by which they are sanctified, even the faith which is in thee, kept under the law, kept under tutors as a school master unto the faith which brings grace. And now that The Faith has come the law is folded up, fulfilled, laid away every jot and tittle and now Paul said, through the revelation we conclude that a man is justified by the grace of God through faith and that without the deeds of the law. Ain't them beautiful words? Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Not only that but we stagger and we stumble and we falter, and whatever, and then we come running back to God and we say, Oh, my God! Lord, I'm a servant. I bow down at your feet. He says, Kill the fatted calf, put the slippers on his feet. Put a ring on his finger and get him the best robe in the house. Hallelujah! Said, My prodigal has come home! Glory to God, I've got a special place for the strays. Somebody say Hallelujah! Glory to God! Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature and tell them that God's got a special place for the strays. Like the song he gave me. Hallelujah! There's a special place for them strays. His eyes --Hallelujah! His eyes are always searching through the mountains, through the valleys with the blood dropping for His hand and the wounded feet saying, Where is the stray? Where is the stray? You say, But, Lord, the ninety and nine is safe within. Yes, but where is the stray? Where is the stray? Glory to God! Where is that stray? And I say, Oh, my God, my God! Lord, have I looked for the stray? Have I done anything to find the stray? See? Have you done anything to find the stray? Go out into the highways and into the hedges. We get more holy than thou. We get to where we can't look for the stray. We get to where we can't eat with the sinners and the publicans. And we forget there is the sick that needs a physician. This was the dispute that Jesus had with the Pharisees and the Scribes. To be partakers of their ways? No, we're not to partake of their ways; we're to withdraw from them. Come out from among them; be a separate people. But, folks, even though we do that, as to taste not, to handle not, that whereby the soul is to parish with the using, yet we still long to reach the stray. We still have a desire to reach the stray. And my heart is enlarged to the people that are wandering around out there. It's like Betty and I were sitting at a table yesterday, I believe it was. In the last few days. Day before yesterday. We were sitting there at the table and I saw a young couple and they were dressed indecent and I thought, My God, everywhere you go just a bunch of adulterers. This is the sinful, this is the adulterous generation. Anybody that couldn't tell this is the adulterous generation would be blind. And I thought, everywhere. We went into the Cracker Barrel and there they were everywhere. I'd complained about the light being so dim in there. They don't have much light in that place. You can't really half tell what you're eating, but I thought, My God, you know, if I turn on the light as to pull back the curtains I'd rather for it to be dark because the whole place, when I got the lady to slip back a little bit of the curtain, it was filled, filled with adulterous spirits. All, just about all half nude. I said, Well, next time we'll go to Shoney's. When I got into Shoney's it was the same way. And sitting there in Shoney's I thought, There is a couple, but I said, Betty, you know, it's strange but I don't feel any bad spirit emanating from them. I feel lack of respect and in something emanating from them as to their thoughts. And, you know, even though they are in that kind of condition and it's repulsive to me. If there is anything that's repulsive to me it's going around showing the old naked body. It's so repulsive. It can't lead but to one thing and that's fornication and adultery and that's all it's for, for man and woman is made for one thing, and that's reproduction that they might reproduce in the earth to multiply and replenish the earth. And all holiness and sacredness of godly marriage, any thing outside of that is nothing but unclean. And it's Satanic. And I thought, But I don't feel anything emanating from them as to their spirit, and they looked like they were a married couple. Whereas, in the day we're living in, you know, it's like dogs; it's like animals, and it's the adulterous generation. But I thought, How sad. I wonder how their minds have been programmed. Folks, I'm talking about Pentecostal people. I'm talking about Pentecostal people. How are their minds programmed. It's programmed that it's not wrong to wear the shorts. It's programmed that it's not wrong to wear the bathing suits. It's programmed that they can go around like that, that God understands. And then it's programmed that they should give their minds to olympics, as to the entertainment of the world, and to eating and drinking and buying, selling. And their whole motivation is toward being some elite, or in the upper echelon, or being in the legislative powers, or in something that is the preeminent among the people, as to control as to the local bodies of powers and authorities. You know, this is what they're taught. Suppose to be holiness people. Suppose to be holiness churches. As a great man of God use to say, Suppose to be the cream of the crop. And I look at them and I think, My God! We preachers, we're to blame. We're to blame for this. We're to blame. What have we done to prevent it? What have said to prevent it? What have we preached to prevent it? You know, want to please the people and say, Well, we can't put any ripples in the water because they won't come to our church. Somebody said, Don't say nothing to offend them; you'll have their blood on your hands. And sure enough people let the thing go on. They allow the things to go on. They allow them to practice adultery. As I said the other night, We say, Well, that is the way it is. This old sinful adulterous generation, a bunch of youth, ain't got no respect for nobody. But, folks, I remind you again. God didn't say nothing about that old bunch of youth. He said not to despise your youth, be an example of the believer. Use your strength and youth for the glory of God. He said, This generation, which means wives and husbands and elderly people and young people and all alike. The generation is an adulterous generation. The whole generation is adulterous. He was talking about the church people. He said, My tables are filled with vomit. All of this. See? What is that? It is the adulterous generation. And not only is it the adulterous generation but it also brings the beginning of sorrows. This is the time of the beginning of sorrows. Because this is like that then it is the beginning of sorrows. Sorrow has come down. There is sorrow. You are sick, continually sick. The whole generation is sick. To begin with, many are the afflictions of the righteous; God delivereth them out of them all. You are afflicted in body, you are afflicted in mind, you are afflicted as to your financial stride in life, you are afflicted by the oppression of the boycotting system of the people. In every way they come down on you and the bonds child always mocks the free child. See? But God delivers you out of that. I am the God that heals all of your diseases and I am the God that forgiveth all of your iniquities. See? But you're caught in the midst of this darkness that closes in on you and they cannot comprehend light. You can comprehend light but they cannot comprehend light. This light shines right in the midst of them. And what's wrong with the church is they have not been told. They've not been told to stay away from that. They don't have anything to feed off of. There's a great famine in the world today for the wonderful Word of God and they're changing the Bible over to their own way. They are eliminating the inspiration of God through the words of life. See? And it's just becoming a book, as to add to their learning and Satan includes it with all the rest, as to the houses of prostitution that's called the houses of learning. See? And everybody is drifting into that mind and into that condition. And everybody is saying, Well, I don't live right, they don't live right. Nobody lives right; God has got to save us by His grace and that is true. That is true to the extent that God has given grace, but folks, it was given to save us from our sins. Not in our sins but from our sins. And it is said that the blood is on the seat of atonement until you come out of the world to be ye a separate people. Now, come on. Where is all the shout when I was talking about the glory a while ago? Where is all the shout? Why is it that all of a sudden different minds will begin to repel, like that. You know why? Because all of them that shout are not God's. All of them that rejoice are not God's. The rain is coming down on the just and the unjust and the rain is coming down on the tare. And as long as the sun is shining and the rain is coming down hallelujah, glory to God, hallelujah. But then when the Word of God begins to come and to cut down the tare --Jesus said, I'll send the reapers in the last days and they'll cut down everything in the harvest, as to the tares. The wheat isn't worried. It's reached it's place. It's brought it's maturity. It has brought forth. It has manifested it's nature and it is to go into the garners, meat for the master's use. But that tare, when you start cutting down that tare it's like the old goat. You can kill the little lamb and he won't do anything. He'll just drop his little head and come right on up to the slaughter, lambs to the slaughter as such as you are, but you go to kill and old goat and you grab him by the horns and he'll kick and he'll buck and he'll rear up and he'll bleat and he'll do all kind of things. And that's the way it is. That's where your hallelujahs went to. Somebody say hallelujah. Hallelujah! It sounds like we've still got a few hallelujahs around. Still got a few hallelujahs around. Glory to God. Where is all that victory we were talking about? Where is that light we were talking about? Where is the shining of the sons of God and the daughters of God? Come on, folks. There are some Gods around. There are some Gods around. Jesus said, I made you Gods and they are the light of the world. Jesus said you're the light of the world. I am the light of the world while I'm here but I go away and now you are the light of the world. And the old lamp lighter has lit the lamps and you are the light of the world. How can I be the light of the world? Because Christ is within me. Christ is within me. That's the hope of this glory. This glory that was seen on the Mount of Transfiguration, my light is come so rise. Let thy light so shine that men may see your good works. Your good works? Somebody say hallelujah! I said your good works. When you've got this light on the inside it's not just a hallelujah but what is it? It's good works. It's good works. Hallelujah! See? It's good works. Let your light so shine that men may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. I'm the light of the world; I go away, now ye are the light of the world. Ye are the light of the world. Where is Jesus? He's gone away. As to the body, He's gone away. But Christ has appeared the second time without sin unto them that look for Him, and that with salvation. The world shall not see Him. If it's the coming of the Lord, as I said, why doesn't the world see Him? The Bible said, And every eye shall see Him. Every eye, even them that are under the earth, them that are in the earth, as on the earth, them that are in heaven and all shall say, Hallelujah! Glory to God! Praise Him. As I live, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess, as to the glory of God, whether they are infidels or whatever, at the brightness of His coming. But, folks, I'm talking about where the Bible said. And I will appear unto you the second time without sin unto salvation. I go away. Jesus, as to the human body said, I go way. For if I go not away the comforter will not come. I go away that the comforter may come. And who was the comforter? The Christ on the inside of that little body. See? I have to take this body away; have to take this tabernacle away so that this comforter will come. And if I go not away as a human being then the Spirit of Christ which is within me will not, cannot come because it's in me as to the fullness of God. But if I go away then I'll come again. And unto you I'll come,as to a measure. Whatever you are able to receive, whatever you will deny yourself, of I will be that measure. Like one angel that came down from heaven, and the Bible said it's light was so great and mighty it covered all the earth and it lightened all the earth. See? How strong is your light? What is the measure of your light? How much do you cover? When the angel came to them on the hillside as to the shepherds, it said, And the light shined round about them, as to the beautiful light. You know it reminds me --It comes to my mind at this time about Billy Paul, How that Billy Paul was speaking of Brother Branham and the angle coming to him, and said --He made the statement that he, along with his dad and his dad's brother, said his dad's brother wasn't much older than he and he wasn't but about eleven years old. Said, Being in a place they had to sleep in one bed and him being small was caught in the middle. But he said he had a job in the meetings and he'd go around with his little old apron and he thought he was about one of the most important ones in the meetings and he sold Brother Branham's book up and down the isle, you know, from his little ole apron. And said his daddy at that time tried to economize as much as he could and they were in the place that was too elaborate with one bed. Said --I guess in was over in the morning time, or during the night some time and said he heard his dad's voice. He said, Billy, Billy. And said he woke up and said his dad said, Billy, would you like to see the angel that appears to me. And Billy told him yes, and he said, I've ask his permission to let you see him. And I ask that if he'd let my brother see him, and said, He answered me like this: Your son Billy Paul. And said, And I, myself_ Though I think it was because Billy Paul was eleven years old, maybe not accountable and innocent, you know. And the brother being older worked on the platform before Billy took over helping his dad. And he said, all of a sudden Brother Branham held up a pillow, like over here, and when he held the pillow up he said, Look, Billy. And he said, I looked and there stood a man. Said, I was expecting to see something with wings and said, There stood just a normal man standing with his hands about like I've got mine. And said, He just stood there and said, When he looked at him, said, he look to be about 200 pounds. Said, He was bigger than my dad. And said, All of sudden, said, it was such an awesome sight as he looked at him and then he described him. He said, And then after awhile, said, the angel just swooped, like that, into a light and the light began to go away as the angel begin to go away and said, then was left a little light that turned into a rainbow. And he said for about two hours the rainbow hung there in the room and he said that his brother then was allowed to see the rainbow. But he was speaking of the supernatural visitation as to the angel of the Lord. Everyone hath an angel, everyone hath a guardian angel and this angel is with you. Now, he didn't say this; I'm saying this. But you have a guardian angel and he has charge of you because you are God's baby. You are God's little one. And the Bible said he gives His angels charge concerning thee that they should bear thee up in all of your ways lest at any time you should dash your foot against a stone. And nothing shall by any means hurt you for those angels are ministering spirits to them that are heirs of salvation. They minister to them that are heirs of salvation, as to when Jesus after his fast was there and the angels came and surrounded Him, or to minister to Him to give Him strength in His physical being. And they come to you to give you the supernatural strength because they are lights. They are lights. Like Jesus said, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven, or from Calvary when the defeat came, as to the Son to whom the promise was made or as to the seed. Then the battle royal in heaven and Satan was cast out and Jesus said, I beheld him as lightning fall from heaven because he was a light. And the battle, as to when you see the heavens like they are and the hot and the cold clouds coming together. See? There's a battle; star war,like we see in the natural right now, as to the presidency and these kind of things. See? Battle in heaven and Lucifer is cast out because the Son, the child is going up to the throne. Like this things as of late as to Bethlehem and the child is being caught up. See? And that many-membered body, of that Son is coming in. See? And they're being caught up. Where are they being caught up to? In the mind of Christ. In the light of Christ. In the understanding of Christ, God Almighty. They're being caught up into this mind. See? Arise, O Zion, put on your beautiful garments. What is that beautiful garment? It is being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Killed at Calvary, as to this being, as to the first man Adam, and this tabernacle, Peter said, being dissolved; having another one eternal in the heavens not made with hands, even the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, as to the quickening spirit the second man Adam. When you say heaven you mean in the spirit. At death the spirit goeth back to God who gave it and my spirit went back to God, and my spirit was translated into the spirit of Christ. Christ being the kingdom of God and that coming at Calvary because the veil was rent in twain. And so then the separation of the body and spirit and my body is dead and is buried within the grave, or in the water. See? And my spirit is an angelic being. It is a great light and this light, as to my breath of life, has become interwoven with the great light of Christ's angelic spirit and I'm no more as in a body that's looking through a veil of intellectual darkness even a dark light, as to the Jews looking at Moses' face, or looking at the veil over his face when the Bible said they could not steadfastly look unto the end of that which is abolished. Or that is to say: though Moses was in the light all the way back to Genesis and saw these wonderful things; yet when Moses came forth they couldn't look at even the brightness of his face let alone to see the light. And then had to put up a veil over his face to show that Jesus was coming, the prophet like unto, and it would be God Almighty in His fullness but God would be veiled by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that God would smite that image as a servant, the image in which He was made as to your sins and your image to do away with the image of iniquity, to fulfill the prophetical utterance of Daniel when it said, Messiah shall come and He shall make an end of iniquity. Paul said, In iniquity did my mother conceive me, this bastard child image, as to the first as to the fallen, through Adam and Eve. And we are looking at God from our birth through this glass darkly, which is an intellectual infiltration. Though it be a light, as to Lucifer, yet it is a dark light. The world speaks of having a dark light. This is a dark light, and though it is a light, yet that veil. They could see that light but it was just a faint glow and they could not look steadfastly to the end of that light, as the coming of the morning. The morning rain, as to the former rain, and then the latter rain. But in us, as to Joel's prophesy, the latter rain poured out upon all. It wasn't just as to the Jews, as to a sect of people, but this grace, as to the blood taking away the sins of the whole world and God not being able to see from Calvary the bastard child image because of the reflection of this light. And so all of them that are without the church they reflect this light but they are still lit up. They are still illuminated like the mirror. See? And that means they are still in heaven because that light is heaven. That's God's grace, that's God's light. That makes allowance for all of the medical aide, all of the dentistry, everything that helps them in the natural. (Begin tape one, side two.) ... the different ones get the benefit of that because they're not changed either, as to the church, as in their body. But on the inside they have great mighty power. They're sons of God. Everything is under their command because they're not that which is illuminated. Even though they are illuminated by the grace, as to this body in that it hasn't been changed. But they are illuminated. They are illuminated so that they can be unchanged at the present time to relate to them that are out there in the world for the multiplying and the replenishing, and to allow them to control and run the world. They are squatters, and someday, as with the abstract they'll have to move off of our land. But God has to keep the natural going to where we will have the natural potentialities, as to human survival as pertaining to our human senses, our five senses, which is the bondage of the bonds child, being in bondage to the beggarly elements of the world because of their senses as to survival, and through these human sense sensually has separated themselves from the faith of Jesus Christ, or the way of the Lord Jesus Christ. So then, we know that they are just reflectors, but still it's heaven. And Satan has, through this reflection, made the world to dazzle like the dew drops on the spider web when the sunlight hits it. See? But the spider is still around. And when the people are thoroughly taken within this web of life then the spider closes in for the kill. And then the web is gone, everything is gone when the man of the house comes through, or the woman comes through cleaning all is gone. See? So, we're saying, as Solomon said, The spider takes hold with his hands and he's in king's palaces, but he doesn't belong there. See? And you are a palace. You are a palace for God. You are not just a mere reflector; you are a palace. Jesus said, I go to prepare a place and if I go to prepare a place I will come again to receive you unto My Own that where I am there ye might be also. And He prepared a place and the first thing he prepared was that spiritual quickening body from the image of sin. He went to the second man Adam, the quickening spirit. And with the Spirit of God on the inside He made that the house of God in it's fullness; in it's entirety. And then as He did that it related to you and I as to the rent veil, the separation, the body going down as the old image rejected. Paul said, And who shall deliver me from this body of death and sin and corruption, as to the lust of the human senses and the pride of life and the desire for the materialistic values of the world? Who will deliver me from the body of this death? For I see within my body something warring within my inner man, as to my mind and desire, as to the law of freedom, as that on the inside, which means I believe in grace and I believe unto righteousness and the works of Jesus Christ. But in my flesh I see another law as to sin and death warring against the law of my mind that believes in this wonderful freedom of God and this thing is in my members and within my flesh there is no good thing. I see this making war with my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin and death. And he said, So then, I, with my body, my flesh I serve the law of sin. Or that is to say, I'm subject to the world. I'm subject to eating and drinking. I have to do it for survival. And because the curse is on the world and on the body and all these things I'm subject to it. I can't get out of it; there's no way that I can get out of it. And the only answer is to accept the fact that I'm dead by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, for what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, in that I am weak I am sold unto sin. And though the law is spiritual I cannot perform it. So, the law being weak, as to my weakness, though it's holy and just and it's spiritual; yet I'm carnal, sold unto sin. And that which I want to do I cannot perform because my body is subject to this world. And a lot of times when I make this statement, I say he that is born of God he doth not sin, and a lot of people get the idea, the erroneous idea that I'm more holy than thou, like the Jews. Why they never did keep the law. See? And didn't realize it was the blood on the seat of atonement from the foundation of the world through the foreknowledge of God that kept them until the time of the promised seed. See? And we get the idea that means that we don't make mistakes; we don't falter and they get more holier than thou. They know in their heart that they are making blunders all the time but they'll confident themselves, Well, man, I almost did but I didn't. And still they'll Lord over the others. But, folks, that's a misconstrued thought because I'm not saying you don't make mistakes. I'm not saying that you don't stumble. I'm saying that God just changed it to a classification as to call it trespasses. Father, forgive us our trespasses because everyday we trespass against somebody else because when we approach another person, or we reproach them, then that means we are a trespasser because that is a sovereignty. Even God wouldn't do that to an individual. And yet we do. See? Carelessly in all kind of things. See? What am I saying? I'm saying that it isn't because you don't make mistakes. You are suppose to keep your spirit from getting into those blunders. Your body is still subject to the vanities of this world but you keep your spirit from getting into that because you are sealed with the Holy Spirit and your spirit inside is interwoven with the Spirit of Christ which is the kingdom of God and the fullness of the righteousness of Christ, or of God. See? And you have a measure of this, and whatever it is, and your spirit is sealed until the day of the change, or the redemption of your body. See? It is sealed. And the body is already redeemed. It's the purchased possession which he purchased by his blood at Calvary and it's already dead, as to the knowledge of God, the understanding of God, as to that bastard child image that came through the fall of Adam, wherein the spirit of foolishness is in your heart from a child and requires correction even from your youth. See? But it's sealed until the time that you come into a knowledge. And once you come into a knowledge if you don't change then, then it's all charged against you. A little boy, he can do wrong in the sight of the law and he has to pay for it, but when he gets sixteen all of that is abolished and put away. And then after that he starts answering like a man and it's against his record. See? So what I'm saying is this: is that you have Christ on the inside and your spiritual being is already a son of God by virtue of Jesus Christ and foreknowledge, as to the sufferings of Christ. You have already, through His faith, passed from death unto life and can never come into condemnation because God is a spirit. He deals with your spirit. This body is a mold. This is a little tabernacle and Peter said that when this tabernacle is dissolved, and that it should be dissolved, and it will be dissolved as the whole world, I have another one, even the body of the resurrected quickening spirit Jesus Christ, eternal in the heavens. That is in the spirit. I have another one. My spirit will move into that spirit just like Christ's spirit moved out of the form of a servant, as to His body, and moved into our body. See? Because our body became holy and godly by putting away his body. Therefore, by the washing of regeneration. See? The vesture dipped in blood. We're covered with the blood. Even that that He will be when He returns in the valley of blood. Revelation 19, when He fights the battles to abolish all governments, that when He sets up the millennium there won't be anything to come against His government. So then, when we think of these things we realize the greatness of what God has done as to the salvation. What I'm saying is not that you don't make mistakes and sin, even as the world does. You stumble and stagger like a drunk man. You're in worse shape than some of them. Some of them are better morally than you are, but the thing is God bases it on your understanding and knowledge as you develop as a child to come into these things, then He requires it of you. And then if you don't come to it He cuts you off, or you go by the whipping post. Nobody lives so good that they don't go by the post, as to the whipping post, or the place of chastisement. Don't ever think that you are. A lot of people I've seen fall because of that. See? Not taking heed when they thought they stood and they didn't realize they were standing by grace and standing by faith. When you think you stand take heed lest you fall. See? Because you have got to be sure you are oriented right; you are indoctrinated right, and that you are rooted and grounded in the truth and you built on the rock of His Word. And this rock says, By grace through faith are you saved and that not of yourselves, not of works lest any man should boast. I've not chosen you Israel because you are the greatest people. Three million people came out of Egypt and all of them wasn't right. You're the least in the earth, even today as to nations, among the very least. I've not chosen you because you are a righteous people for you are continually rebellious. You have the law and none of you keep it. But I've chosen you to make a name for myself. And the very thing that He chose the church world for they don't do. They evade His name. They go every way but through His name because the name will cast out the devils. It will block the devil and he can't have part in the church. And this is why that God has done this. Salvation is in His name. None other name given among men whereby we must be saved except the name Jesus. And where He says, O Zion, put on your beautiful garments. Paul said be baptized into Jesus Christ. And they that have been baptized into Jesus Christ they have put on Christ. Or that is to say if you are bodiless, if your body is dead by Calvary. Angels don't have bodies and your spirit is now in Christ's Spirit. And you are as those that dwell in the spirit in heaven. But if you are going to be the quickening spirit, as to live in the spirit, to walk in the spirit, you must walk in the spirit. And you must bring this body under subjection. You eat and you drink and you buy and you sell and you laugh and you talk and you get exuberant. Like old animals in the pasture. And all you want is the frolics of this world and you feel like your in there solid. But, folks, let me tell you, Joab thought he was in there solid but he was one of the biggest enemies that David had, killed his son, caused all kind of problems. And David said, Solomon, when you come to the throne you kill him. Don't let his hoary head go down to the grave. Though he was in there with the elite, though he was the great among them; He was the greatest general in all the world, but that didn't make him nothing in the sight of God. See? And this is where you make your mistake. You've got to be born again. And when you are born again I won't feel that old thing emanating from you. I feel it. Someone would say, Oh, no, Brother Pike. Oh, yes I do. I could go down the line and call you out one by one and tell you. It's just as different as winter time and summer time. And tell you that thing emanating from you --I've got a man sitting here. Through the whole service it's been emanating from him through the whole service. I try not to say anything about it except maybe mention a little bit to let him know that he isn't hid and to let that spirit know that it isn't hid. See? And it emanates from him. Yet I've got people in this audience that are practicing adultery and practicing evil and I don't feel that kind of spirit from them, as emanating from them. Like I said about the covenant. And you know why? Because they're under conviction. They're under condemnation and they're reasoning in their mind and thinking, My God! My God! What must I do? I've got to get away from this thing. See? Because deep down inside of them there is something as to the deep calling unto the deep and it's saying, You're suppose to be right. What you're doing isn't right. You are suppose to be elect; what has happened to you? What are you doing? See? And down on the inside they're crying, Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Others are confident like the Jews; We are right. We are right with God. We're here. See? Everything is right. I'm right in there tight with them; I do whatever. And from them emanates that thing that's resistant, that old carnal mind. It emanates from them to God and it's all out of shape. And it grieves me so bad and grieves the Holy Spirit until I could just come right down and take my sword and just run it through. And the Bible says, Cursed is he that holdeth back his sword from blood. You know, but I try to ease along as much as I can to save whoever I can. The Bible said, I will bring up saviors upon the mountain. Convert a man and therefore know that you are a savior. You've converted; you've saved that man and pulled that garment out of the fire, or that person out of the fire, hating the garment that's spotted with iniquity, as to them that's in the flesh, that cannot please God. Hating that thing because it's spotted. Especially more righteous than thou. See? But I try to go on and I try to be merciful because I have the power to cut you off. I have the power to let you in. I have the power to remit your sins. I have the power to retain your sins. I have the power to bless. I have the power to curse. Will you then not be afraid? The Bible said, seeing that he is the minister of God and he beareth not the sword in vain, but he is God's minister there to execute judgment upon them at do evil. See? Or to bless them that do good. Or will you not be afraid for conscience sake? See? And seeing that he is there to order the house of God and that it is not him speaking but God speaking from within him and that he is the minister of God; not just to the church, but I've set you over the nations, the Bible said, as speaking to the prophets. Humble thyself under the mighty hand of God that He might exalt you in due season for judgment begins at the house of God. All right. So then, we know that these things are for us. We know that our light has come, that we are baptized into Jesus Christ. As to being dead by Calvary, now we've put on the Lord Jesus Christ and it's not us living but Christ. And our body is now dead and it's gone and that old bastard child image of the first man Adam it's put away and we're no more in that body, see? And as Paul said, that body, who shall deliver me from the death of that body? I am subject to the law of sin. I'm subject to passion. I'm subject to my human understanding. I'm subject to my nerve system, or human senses. And though I don't make any allowance for this, for that which I allow not, as to my inner man, I don't allow for it. My inner man is not interwoven with my body. My inner man is separated from my body and if I stumble, it's absolute something I don't allow for, that I wouldn't do; I stay away from the wrong places; I do everything I can to cast down every thought, to bring into subjection every thought to the obedience of Jesus Christ. I keep under this body; I bring it into subjection and he said, Don't you give place. No, not for a minute in your body to that thing that wars against you. It's dead by the body of Jesus Christ and when you do stumble happy is he that doth not condemn himself over that thing which he allowed. That is, when you allow he says there, as to allowance, I allow not, as to the inner man, but allowance, as to this thing which takes me into captivity, he said, and it takes me into captivity, this thing that wars in my senses. That is to say, it is with my senses, taking my senses, and because I'm given to this life it's never been changed. He said it pulls me into the bondage of having to eat and drink and sleep and these kind of things, and through that Satan takes advantage because he is the god of this world. And that body is made out of the dust, but kill it, put it away. Remember it's dead and if you happen to stumble when you're trying to do your best don't throw yourself down. Don't put yourself down; repent. Repent. Be quick to repent and go to God and say, My God! My God! Lord, forgive me, forgive me. Oh, Lord, I didn't mean to do that. Father, all I have is your righteousness; help me. Help me, O God. And the Lord will pick you up because if your heart condemns you God knows you. He knows everything. He's great than your heart. He knows that you are his forever. He knows that you are perfected without spot and without blemish. Whereas someone would say, Well, Brother Pike, that's the way I take it; I don't condemn myself. I just go right on, you know. I say, Glory to God, God knows. And someone would say, And that's the way I feel. That's because you are a hypocrite. That's because you don't belong to God. That's because you don't know nothing about God and God is not in a hundred thousand miles of you. But a person that has got God, it like Lot, the Bible said even, not even having the spirit, as to the spirit of eternal life. It had not yet been given. Jesus had not yet died for sin. But God being with them, the Bible said, and that righteous man, righteous by the foreknowledge of God , as to the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, the blood on the seat of atonement in the behalf of Him even in that day of Sodom and Gomorrah. And this righteous man's soul was vexed from day to day by their ungodly deeds. When you are a Christian that little thing cuts across your conscience. Paul said, I strive always to keep my conscience void of offense toward man and God. And the first thing, you do one little thing and that thing hits you like a dagger in your heart and you start saying, Oh, my God! Lord, forgive me; I didn't mean to do it, in repentance. Said, Be quick to repent, and then God looks down and says, Nothing; I took care of that with My blood. But if you go just gallivanting on by the blood didn't take care of you. You are just no good. It's on the inside of you; you're no good. The worm is in the core of the apple. It didn't convict you; you didn't feel bad at all. So then, there is a world of difference. But those that belong to God, ordained unto eternal life. Paul said, and as many as were ordained unto eternal lie they believed; the rest did not. When we say eternal life, the predestinated. Someone would say, Well, Brother Pike, if I'm predestinated that takes care of it. You know, so be it. Whatever, that's the way it's going to be. No, that isn't the way it is at all. The Bible said, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. I, through Christ, I've begotten you unto a lively hope and you are complete in Him. If you are a predestinated it means that you are complete in Him; your life, your treasures, everything. Whatever you are to be eternally I've already made in Christ Jesus and your faltering, stumbling, had nothing to do with it. It is the perfect man but you are given this perfection as to a measure according to your subjection, as to your body, as to going on, whether sixty-fold, thirty-fold, hundred-fold, or whether it's as a child or whether it's as a grown-up, to go on to the full measure of the reward, to the full stature. And in this, he that over cometh, or he that be perfect shall be as his master. That is, to perfect the body, as in measure, sanctifying daily. Not as to your sanctification as to your soul, as to the inner man, as to your salvation, but as to your measure. And when he said, And these that were ordained unto eternal life, he said, make your calling and election sure. That is, if you do these things, where he spoke of those things that bring forth the fruits of the spirit, he said, if you do these things you shall never fall. Ye shall never fall. That is, if you can produce the fruits of the spirit. Or that is to say, if you are the predestinated fore-ordained unto eternal life, how then can I know I'm the one to make sure of that? I have to do something. Make sure of that. If you can perform that, as to the fruits of the Spirit, that means you are the predestinated. And everyday that you perform it, as to through out your lifetime, on toward the end (He that endureth to the end the same shall be saved) God has fore-seen it. If you turn around at any point, if you don't make any effort toward God, then you are not the predestinated unto judgment, but rather unto condemnation. These was before of old, still as the predestinated until righteousness, fore-ordained unto condemnation, ungodly men that don't perform the spirit of God, or the fruits of the Spirit; they don't bring them forth. But they are those of condemnation turning the period of grace into lasciviousness as they lavishly do what they want to, bringing upon their heads swift condemnation; where Jesus said generation of vipers, religious people, Pharisees and Scribes. Who has warned you to flee from the wrath? John said. And Jesus said, Generation of vipers that know better than to do this; you've seen others perish because of this. How can you escape the damnation of hell? That's what the generation of today is; sodomites, fornicators, liars, cheats, people that are interested in the world and the things of the world. That's what they are and they're fixing to, as vomit, be moved from his table. Just as religious as they can be, praying for their ball games and everything else. That's vomit on God's table. Somebody say hallelujah! See? So then, with you it's no so. You are the beloved children of God. You're light has come, rise and shine because now what is happening? It is being revealed to you now that you've always been perfect. You've always been justified. There has never been anything, never from the foundation of the world, charged against you. You are God's virgin. You are God's holy one. That's why you are conceiving of this Word. The Word, not the world. The world is within them that are fornicators and liars; pre-ordained unto condemnation. But you are God's elect. You receive this light. You are children of light. You comprehend this light, the depths, the height, the width, the length. This light is shining in the darkness of this intellectual thrust of today but they don't conceive of it. See? But you are. Why do you get the revelation? The disciples said, Jesus, why do you speak to these people in parables? They don't know what you're saying? Without a parable spake He not unto the people. See? So with you it's not parabolic. It's very plain. You understand but they don't understand, for the wicked shall not understand. Why is it all of a sudden that you're receiving this glorious, wonderful light. People here at Bethlehem say, Well, I don't understand. Let me tell you; the righteous shall understand. It's because you are not righteous. Now you might be a babe and just coming in and that's different. But you that have been here as a period of time, it's because you're wicked. It's because you're not righteous. It's because you're not interested in salvation and the Word of God and you can't comprehend. See? Because you don't have the spirit of Christ. You're not worshipping God in Spirit. You're worshipping God as to will worship. You will yourself to do all these things. You're really not happy in these things. You're happiness is when you talk about money and things of the world and do the things of the world and vacation, whatever it might be. Your interest is in the natural and in your personal appearance and in all of these things that pertain unto the world. See? Your prestige and whatever; this is trouble makers. This is where the problems comes in. Always some kind of thing in their mind because the carnal mind is enmity with God; it's the tool of the devil. Well, we're going to have to stop here. But I'm simply saying that with you the body is dead. The world is a reflector and they have the grace until the time of blood coming off of the seat of atonement, which if you look up and see that light it will tell you something if you're spiritual. See? And see this light up here; it'll tell you something. There's always been light up here as they turn the video on, as to the minister. There's always some light; bright light. See? But then I had them to put this up here as a continuation of light. When Joshua crossed the Jordan there was no more night. There was no more sleep. See? And you that are coming out of that old carnal mind, as to the sun coming up and the sun going down, it's not with you as to the day star any more, as to the natural. You've gone into another dimension and there's a day star dawning within your heart by the powers of this revealed light as to the transformation of this wonderful outlet of this light through the rent veil. That is to say, when you pull the curtains open in the morning for the day star starts dawning in the world. See? And with this, this wonderful light is coming forth, as to the transformating of your mind and it's the continuation and it goes right on to the full ultimatum, or the diplomacy, which is the change in the body as to the heavenly light. Heavenly treasure that you already have within your earthen vessel, which is Christ in you the hope of that dawning of that new day. See? This will be made manifest in your mortal genes until the ultimatum and the grand finale. So then, you are a wonderful people. You are at that point to rise and shin and give God the glory, glory. Rise and shine, the song writer said, give God the glory, soldiers of the cross. Jesus died. He died that you might have it, have it. Jesus died that you might have it, soldiers of the cross. Hallelujah! So this is where we've come to. And all of a sudden we could, we could just go on and go on. This is so beautiful. This is so fantastic. This is so awesome. This is so wonderful. And the children of God just love it. I said, they just love it because this is their graduation. Hallelujah! They're coming to their graduation and they're coming to that great wonderful diplomacy and they are happy. They're happy. This is the day of their scholarship and they're happy. Somebody say hallelujah! Glory to God. Hallelujah! Let's stand together, sing a little chorus or two and worship the Lord. Praise God! Hallelujah! Brother Ron stood at my door way last night and cried as to the Lord taking away the veil. He said, Brother Pike, He did it! He did it! And he cried and worshipped the Lord. It's so wonderful and you could tell it was getting down into his spirit. See, folks? God is a spirit. Your inner being is a spirit. And God wants to become interwoven with you. You know, if you've got a disease you have to take something to let it go down into your bloodstream or an injection by shot. See? And then it goes it there, it mixes with your bloodstream and then it kicks out that disease. And God has to get into your heart, intellectual showers of reflection; the world does that. And will do that as long as the blood is on the seat of atonement. You can't tell the difference. They can prophesy; they can see visions. They done all of that before Jesus ever came, as to the gift of the spirit. In the Old Testament they did all of those kind of things. Elijah. Elisha. Some of them was so powerful, just from the reflection of the spirit and living continually with God, raised the dead. But, beloved, you still excel that. John, none no greater among the prophets. John could have raised the dead that quick, though he did no miracles so that he wouldn't interfere with this bright light that was coming, that would show even to the raising of the dead coming from the grave. See? By that time corruption should have already set in and he wanted all the light focused on Him. None greater. But you are greater, even the least. He is the babe. He is God's darling babe. He's the apple of God's eye. Even the little ones. So. parents, lay up for the children. Work together. Help us to watch after them. There is a great reward. Moses, rather than choosing all of the greatness of being the son of Pharoah, as to the king or the kings son, he chose to suffer the afflictions with the righteousness rather than enjoy sin for a season. Come out of the world. Be a separate people; don't be a reflector. Don't be a reflector. Someone would say, Well, Brother Pike, I'm not a reflector. There's reflectors here this morning, no doubt. There are reflectors. Even the ministers of God can get up here and transform their minds and minister to you the words of life. But see? That still doesn't mean they are God's man. See? And people can shout. They can be deacons; they can be leaders; they can be all kind of overseers, and they can come to church. They can do all kind of things. That don't mean they've got it. But when they leave from the presence of God they've heard the truth and they walk circumspectly, and they walk pure, and they walk holy and they don't let their tempers loose, and they don't go to doing the evils. But they think right and they love the Lord. God feeds them the fruit of their thoughts. Whatever their thoughts are, as in their heart, so a man is. And He feeds you the fruits of thoughts. And when you think wrong then you'll find yourself doing the wrong things. You mind is a program of the wrong things. The wrong program is in the computer. But when you are programmed right and you leave from here you talk right, you think right and you seek to bring down every thought to the obedience of the knowledge of Jesus. And when you come to this pearl of great price, as to see this great wonderful light, you'll sell out. But as long as you haven't come to this light you won't sell out. That body is still great; that face is still great; your programs are still great. You have just got to work this program of God in with yours. Instead of working yourself into HIs program you keep trying to work Him around your program to do what you what you want, to have what you want, to be...(Begin tape two, side one.) See? But it'll never work; all you are is a reflector. But, beloved friend, it's about time for the sun to go down. The blood is about to come of off the seat of atonement. There won't be any reflectors anymore. Won't be any healing medicines anymore, won't be any grace anymore. See? Come out from among them. As soon as everyone comes out that belongs to the elect then God will pull the shades down. He'll cut out the light. Like the little saying, the last one that goes out cut out the light. All right. Let's sing a little chorus together. It's my pleasure to be here. It always is. I get as enthused as you because this light is go bright in my life and it's so beautiful, it's so wonderful, so fantastic, so glorious. It is so glorious to me I'm sold out completely to it. And every day of my life, twenty-four hours around the clock that's all I can think of. That's all I want. Someone would say, Well, Brother Pike, what is the benefit of this? Well, the benefit is, as to number one, you've passed from death unto life. You have eternal life. I think that would be sufficient, don't you? All the world is searching for life and they can't find it in the medical world or any other place. Number two, you are eternally young and strong forever. You are eternally young, full of youth, and strong forever. You never come into condemnation. There is not one thing that can be laid against you, as to a charge. Never, from the foundation of the world. You are God's perfect. You are perfected forever. You are sanctified once and for all by the offering up of the Lord's body at Calvary and you are glorified to shine as the brightness of the noonday. And on and on we could go, as to what you are. Ye are gods that shall rule with a rod of iron forever and ever and ever. You're world, streets of gold and gates of pearl and the earth, the new earth breaks forth in singing. Beautiful, beautiful trees and birds and beasts and all the things that are so lovely throughout eternity. They are there; the desires of your heart. Never a weight, never a problem, never a sorrow and never --The Bible said, And former things shall not be remembered. Never a thought about former things and all your past is gone forever. Somebody say hallelujah! That alone is heaven. Praise God! Somebody say praise the Lord! Glory to God. You can still feel the moving of the Spirit; still feel the anointing; still feel the stirring. Why? Why? Why is that? Because of the preaching? No. No. Because this is church? No. Because this is Little Bethlehem? No. Because somebody got religious? No. But because your eyes are coming open. You're beginning to understand; you're beginning to believe. Hallelujah! And this revival is in you; this revival is in your heart and you are seeing something that causes you to be stirred and hungering and thirsting after the things of God. And you are wanting it and you are willing to trade out. Somebody say hallelujah! I said you're willing to trade out. Somebody say praise the Lord! Can you say it like you mean it? The Bible said lift up your voice like a trumpet. Somebody say hallelujah! Praise God! Hallelujah! Somebody says if you get too loud you'll wake up the dead. Somebody say hallelujah! Wouldn't that be wonderful. Like the vision I saw when I was going through the air and I was passing over the graveyard. As I went over the graveyard I said, Come out of them graves. They didn't come out of them graves and I said, Come out of them graves. And I guess I said it three times and they didn't come out of them graves, but I screamed like an eagle. I said, Come out of them graves! And like that they began to pop out of them graves and the saints of God began to come up. It was in the nighttime, just like this intellectual darkness and they began to pop up. I see some of them popping up today. Some had already started to building their own caskets. Somebody say hallelujah! Somebody say praise God! Hallelujah! Lift up that voice like a trumpet, enter His gates with thanksgiving, into His courts with praise. We're going to sing that chorus again. (Singing.) Can you sing that with me? (Singing.) Once again let's sing it together. (Singing.) Can you sing that with me? (Singing.) Do you feel eternal this morning? Do you feel that eternal strength? The Bible said your strength shall be as your day. Do you feel that strength? Hallelujah! Somebody say hallelujah! Do you feel that overflowing strength? Paul said being strengthened by the power of the might of the inner man, God doing great and mighty things to you and abundantly and above all that you are able to think. The Bible says all that you are able to ask, and working mightily through the spirit that worketh in you. Think about that now, the spirit that worketh in you. He works mightily through the spirit that worketh within you. Somebody let that sink in now. I'm talking about the spirit on the inside of you, the spirit that's already on the inside of you. Somebody say hallelujah! Give that spirit freedom this morning. God's above you, in you, through you. Give that spirit freedom and feel that freedom, the sons of God and their liberty this morning. Do you feel the freedom? (Singing.) I wonder if the sisters would come up and help me sing. (Singing.) Somebody say hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Don't be ashamed to say hallelujah! Don't try to keep your composure. Say hallelujah! Say hallelujah! Praise God, hallelujah! Somebody said, But I'm afraid I'll lose my composure. Glory to God, lose your composure. That's the composure that God hates. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! (Singing.) Can you say praise the Lord? Hallelujah! Ain't you glad you lost your composure? I said, Ain't you glad you lost your composure? Hallelujah! You know, the only thing that was keeping that other fellow from getting in was that you didn't lose your composure. Now that he sees you've lost your composure he doesn't feel ashamed anymore. He's done lost his composure. Somebody said glory to God! And not only do you lose your composure but you take on Christ's composure. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to God! The devil says, Now don't get beside yourself; keep your composure. You realize what you're suppose to be when that old intellectual devil gets ahold of you, but when you get to the ball game he says, Let her go! Let her go! But, glory to God, this is where God let her go! Somebody say hallelujah! Lose that old composure of the devil, that old mind of the devil; that old human reasoning of the devil and let the mind of God come in. Hallelujah! Like a bird through the air; like the eagle through the air. Flap those big old wings and sail up to the top of the mountain. Hallelujah! Above all of the trashy things of the world. Somebody say glory. You're God's peculiar treasure. You're God's little eaglets and you are God's strength and you're God's body, and you are Gods. You have the mind of God. You have the strength of God. You have the health of God. You have the riches of God. All is yours. Somebody say praise the Lord. All is yours. Somebody say praise the Lord. All is yours hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Somebody said, I've done said that. Say hallelujah! Somebody say hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! What does hallelujah mean? Ten thousand praises to Jehovah. Ten thousand praises to Jehovah! Wouldn't you like to give ten thousand praises to Jehovah! Wouldn't you like to give ten thousand praises to Jehovah! Think about that! Every time you say hallelujah it's marked on your record, ten thousand praises to Jehovah. Somebody say hallelujah! Somebody say praise the Lord! Somebody give God the glory! And we'll give God the glory, and we'll give God the glory. Hallelujah! One of these days you're going to stretch out those great wings of God and you're going to be gone and the world is going to look for you. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! And you're not going to be there. I feel it coming from you, folks. I feel it emanating from you. Don't you think it's about time you blessed the preacher? The preacher has been trying to bless you, now you bless the preacher. When I feel that emanating from you that's the works. I think, My God! Lord, I'm reaping the benefits. Paul said, If I make you sad who's going to make me glad. And when I see Christ in you I think, Glory to God! The travail was worth it all. Hallelujah! There is no more remembrance of the anguish because that man child has been born. Hallelujah! God is bringing forth a man child. He's bringing forth a man child. Hallelujah! I see some leaping for joy already. Hallelujah! Somebody say Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Somebody say hallelujah! Hallelujah! Somebody say hallelujah! And the writer said, And I'll fly away, Oh glory! I'll fly away. When the power of God came and got old Brother Ezekiel he just flew away. Hallelujah! Somebody says, I know it's coming, Brother Pike. It's already here. It's already here. Glory to God! We're making a discovery. We're making a discovery. Somebody says, I'm tired. Well, God will give you strength by the power and might of the inner man. I said God will strengthen you by the power and the might of the inner man. Can you say hallelujah? Can you say hallelujah? Can you say hallelujah? Somebody say Glory to God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Whooo! I feel the glory of God, don't you? I feel the Holy God. The water is getting deeper. The water is getting deeper. Hallelujah! Can you sing that? (Singing.) Sing it again, now. (Singing.) OH, hallelujah! Do you think about that? Back at Calvary that power is in the blood. When He shed the blood it gave you power. And the Bible said, As to as many as believed to them gave He power. Somebody say Hallelujah! The power of God! Say what you will and it'll be done unto you! And the Bible teaches that power made you the sons of God. It made you the sons of God. Somebody say hallelujah! Somebody say hallelujah! There is neither male nor female in God. It said He made you the sons of God. Lift up your hands! Lift up your hands! Lift up holy hands! (Singing.) Can David come down? Come on, folks! (Singing.) I feel the power. (Singing.) Somebody praise the Lord! Hallelujah! It's about time to go home! Hallelujah! Don't you want to make it? Somebody says, Don't get excited, Brother Pike. How in the world could you stop from (?). (Singing.) (David talking. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Oh, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! (Speaks in tongues.) Yea, I say unto thee this day, Behold the redemption of the Lord. Hallelujah! Lift up your eyes today. Hallelujah! Behold the glory of God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory be to the lamb of God. Hallelujah. (Speaks in tongues.) Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Bless the Lord! Bless the Lord! Bless the Lord! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory be to the Lamb of God today. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory be to God hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jesus. Somebody say Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory be to God. Hallelujah! Do you love the Lord today? Praise the God. I like what He said, Bill. He said bless the minister. Hallelujah! Somebody say bless the Lord! Say bless the Lord! Bless the Lamb of God who was slain before the foundation of the world that we might have our redemption. Glory to God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory be to the Lamb of God! Glory be to the Lamb of God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Somebody said, What are you doing, David? I'm hanging on so I can stay here with you. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I looked at Brother Bill and Daddy said go ahead and lose that composure. I said, Brother Bill, that's that little clay pitcher; it composes all that stuff inside. I said, We're going to lose that composure and the light is going to come out. Somebody say hallelujah! I'm talking about the saints of God, folks. Hallelujah! We're talking about standing over here where old John looked through the corridors of time, looked at a little place called Bethlehem, saw somebody standing in the midst of the candlestick and saw the people praising God, never ceasing twenty-four hours. They praised the Lamb and they blessed the Lamb of God. Somebody say hallelujah! Glory to God! We're talking about the revelation, or the unveiling today. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory be to the Lamb of God. Hallelujah! Oh, hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Somebody say hallelujah! Just makes you not want to quit; you just want to keep on keeping on. Glory be to God! Let's sing that little song Susie. You all help me sing that song the Rambo's sing. I Have Hope. Hallelujah! How many has got the hope of glory. Christ in us the hope of glory, He said. Hallelujah! I've got Christ in me and He's my hope to glory. He said, Father, glorify these with the glory I had with you before the world ever was. Can you feel that glory in here? Oh, hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I feel the glory of God. Somebody says, What's the glory of God? Daddy says, Well, the young man's strength is his glory. Said, The woman's hair is her glory. And said, The old man's wisdom is his glory. Said, But, oh, don't none of it compare with the glory of God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For Jesus alone is His glory. Somebody say hallelujah! Taking a body out of the dust and making it eternal, hallelujah, that it might praise the Lamb of God. Hallelujah! Oh, praise the Lord! (Singing.) Hallelujah! Sing it with me. Hallelujah. (Singing.) Hallelujah! One more time. (Singing.) Hallelujah! Do you love the Lord? Hallelujah! You know it's wonderful because you see everything coming into view, everything coming into view. About fourteen hours, I guess, or better, yesterday we began to sit, you know, and we began to work out the natural. I heard the Lord say up here today, He said, Son, whatever you do by faith now, He said, be careful what you do, Son. He said, Because it's in your hands. Whatever you do by faith it will be eternal. However you set it up that's the way it's going to be. Said, Set it up, make sure it's right; don't let it be a mistake, He said, because it's going to be an eternal kingdom. Somebody say hallelujah! Oh, I tell you, if you just understood what I was saying today. Hallelujah! Glory be to God. An eternal kingdom. Oh, praise the Lord. Well, there ain't no way to dismiss. You can't dismiss something like this. All I can say is go in the glory of God this morning and take the name of Jesus with you. There ain't no dismissing. We'll just make it one big service and come back tonight and pick up where we left off. Just go out rejoicing this morning. Somebody say hallelujah! And as we go out we just carry this light and let it go all over the world as we go out today; just let it spread all over the world that they might see our light. Let's sing that little song Take The Name Of Jesus With You. (Singing.) God bless all of you.
