Forever Free From Sin

(Singing) I really appreciate the wonderful applause and blessings. I really thank the Lord for you. I appreciate it. It's so wonderful. I appreciate the fact that we're here tonight and have the opportunity to talk with you and enjoy the wonderful presence of the Lord. I notice it's turned cold all of a sudden but that's all right. I appreciate, again, Brother Marshall, Brother Victor, Brother Randy, and there are some of the others. Brother Everett has been so kind to us in working with us here. The other ministers. They've given us their heart and their support in backing up the real gospel of Jesus Christ. And indeed God is doing something here in the Islands. You know, I like to get into what we call the present day truth. The Bible speaks of it. Says, It's a good thing that the heart be established in the present day truth and I like to get into the present day truth. But I'm reluctant to say anything a lot of times about this because a lot of people are not spiritual. They don't understand what you're saying. But people who walk with Christ they actually see things happening now. You know, we look into the past, we see things happening in the Old Testament. It's within the veil and then we unveil it, or that is, Christ does through the spirit. Then we look into the future and we see the wonderful things of God, as to that that must be unveiled. And then, a lot of times we fail to realize that right here at the present moment that things are happening with you and with me and that these things are taking place right now. And the same way the great mighty moving of the spirit was, as to the Old Testament, so it is right now. But we fail to realize that and we fail to see those things that are taking place now that's within the veil of the human mind. And it is so beautiful as to what is happening. Even here in the Islands. No doubt before the services are over tonight we might infringe on a few little things and fragmentally speak of some things concerning this. But, anyway, I just want you to know that we love you. We appreciate you. We thank God for you and for everyone that's working with us for the cause of Jesus Christ. Let's sing a little chorus together, can we? What happened to the Floyd Sister that were helping us sing up here? Are you glad to be here tonight? There's a place for every person and there's a job to be done. Everyone must do their job. You need not ever have the idea that God is using someone else and not using you. Today we had stepped out of the house just for a few minutes by the seaside over in the late evening and as I stood there I watched and saw God use some people, some young fellows, just real young boys. And I watched in the spirit and saw how beautiful it was that they should come right at that time, and their names and what they had to do with and it's so wonderful because to walk in the spirit is to see the wonderful things of God in the spirit always. We are in the spirit. How many know that we're in the spirit? Praise God! The Bible said John was in the spirit on the Lord's Day and we are in the spirit. We are born of the spirit. If ye be born of the spirit then walk in the spirit. See? Walk in the spirit. Tonight, the thing that we want to do is get into the spirit. That's the Bible. (Singing.) One more time. (Singing.) One more time together. (Singing) Somebody say hallelujah! Glory to God! I see the blood. Don't you see the blood? I can see the blood applied tonight. I can feel the moving of the Holy Ghost tonight. The mighty Spirit of God is here tonight. The Bible said where the Spirit of God is there is liberty. Give Him a wave offering. Give Him a wave offering if you're free in the spirit tonight. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Talking about the blood tonight. There is redemption only in His blood; just in His blood. There's no other blood but His blood tonight and there is redemption in the blood. Give Him a wave offering. Love the Lord tonight. Can you worship God tonight? God is a spirit and God is seeking such to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Hallelujah! He's above you. He's in you. He's through you and He's here tonight. (Singing) The Lord is good. Isn't He good? Let's sing this little chorus together. (Singing.) Can you sing the chorus again? (Singing.) Let's give Him another hand, can we? Somebody say I love you, Jesus. Hallelujah! All right. We want to talk to you a little bit tonight. The Scripture  We brought about last night the Scripture that --And Revelation 5 and 1, "And I saw within the right hand of him that sit upon the throne a book written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals." We mentioned this last night. We didn't get to elaborate on it any last night but tonight we'd like to make mention of just a few little things. (Begin tape one, side two) We appreciate you coming out. It's cool tonight; yet it's comfortable under the tent. I decided to wear a sweater tonight. I'm just a little bit tied up in my throat, but not a whole lot. So then, since it's comfortable under here tonight maybe we can take just a few minutes and talk to you about something that might be of interest to you. Now, notice this. If I hack a little bit just pardon me. It says in this fifth chapter that there was somebody sitting upon a throne. Now what we're looking at here  What we're actually looking at tonight is John on the Isle of Patmos, as I said last night, and here he is right at the church ages. The ending of these church ages is right here at the opening of the door in heaven. Remember, think now, one day Jesus said to Peter, Who do men say that I am? And then, thus and thus, he said. And then finally he said, But, who do you say that I am? And Peter said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And He said, Peter, thou hast received a revelation. Flesh and blood didn't give this to you. Intellectual learning never brought this to you. This is something that's been revealed to you by My heavenly Father. You've looked beyond the veil. Peter, you've rent the veil. Now that the veil is rent there is a door open in heaven, Jesus was saying. Now that the veil is rent there is a door open in heaven. Right at the end of the church ages it is said here that, And after this I looked and a door was open in heaven. Right at the end of the church ages. Now here Peter is. Peter is opening the door to heaven. Never before has there ever been a door to heaven open. Never before. But all of a sudden there is a door open in heaven. Now, how did it get open? Peter opened it. See? He said, I give unto thee the keys, Peter, and he opened the door in heaven. Peter said, God making a difference between us, when they came to the council there. He said, God made a difference between us, choosing me to open the door to the Gentiles. So, both to the Jews and the Gentiles, he opened the door. Now. Here, a door had never been opened in heaven before. Never. But now a door was open in heaven. Now, what was the door? See? What was that door that was open in heaven. It was the rending of the veil of Calvary. Immediately, when Peter looked beyond the veil and recognized the Christ, everything was under way. So Jesus immediately went to Calvary and rent the veil in two. Peter had rent the veil in two. He had looked beyond the veil and he had seen Christ. He had seen that this body called Jesus that was to be a molecular structure, as to the sight; yet it was Almighty God made manifest in a human form and he looked beyond that body and He saw the Christ. You know, isn't it wonderful today if you and I can just remember that we're not to know each other after the flesh but after the spirit, and we're to look beyond the molecular side of life, as to the configuration of image, and seeing beyond we see that wonderful Christ on the inside, the Lord from heaven, the second man, the Lord of glory. Peter said, This man, speaking of this man, If this tabernacle be dissolved I have another one eternal in heaven, not made with hands. I've born the image of the earthly, the writer said, as to that bodily tabernacle of Adam, being born of that first, and my life has been in this tabernacle as an imprisonment because there is no good thing within the flesh. O, wretched man that I am, Paul said, who shall deliver me from the bodily image of this configuration of death. So then, he said, But if this one be dissolved with the brightness of His coming, I'll destroy that natural man that makes himself the preeminence, lifts himself up as God, runs through the educational systems of the world trying to control everything instead of going through God and giving God the glory. He that sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that he is God, I will destroy him with this wonderful understanding, the brightness of this coming, as I come forth in the wonderful understanding that only the sons of God can receive. See? The light now shineth. Since Calvary the true light is shining. Now this wonderful understanding has come and it's destroying the world. It's destroying everything in the world. It's speaking the world out of existence the same way that God spoke it into existence. And since this great light has come he's eradicating the image of perversion. He's doing away with the old houses of prostitution called the intellectual places of learning and all of these things in the world that's causing lust and causing lust to triumph and causing the flesh to be in the lasciviousness that it's in. All right. So then, we know that this wonderful great light has come since Calvary. Why? The veil has been rent. Jesus talking to Nicodemus He said, No man has ever ascended into heaven except the Son of Man, and that He that has come down from heaven, and He said, Nicodemus, He that is in heaven. Now, that's a lot to digest right there. The Son of Man who went into heaven and the Son of Man that's come down from heaven, and here He is talking to Nicodemus and He says, Nicodemus, I'm in heaven. You are looking at a man but this man is in heaven. You're looking at a man but I am in heaven. And Nicodemus was confounded, and He said, You don't understand these things? being a ruler, being a leader of the Jews and you understand not these things? Now. See? Here He stands and He said, I am in heaven. What is this that Peter has done? He has found the door to heaven. He's found something that's in heaven. He's found this man that's in heaven and then he unlocks the door. The veil is rent in twain and all of a sudden he looks beyond this veil and there is God Almighty. There is Christ. For the Bible said God giveth not the spirit unto Jesus by measure but the fullness of God dwelt within the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus, He is that that is the only one that is the head to the church. And He is the head of the God body. Now, there is no other human body except Jesus Christ for the Bible said He is the fullness of the Godhead so far as the body is concerned. Now. When we think of this and we realize this, all of a sudden a door was open in heaven because here is a man that is in heaven. And now the door is open. And He had said to them, He said, Destroy this temple and I'll raise it up in three days. And the Bible said they understood not that He spake of His body until after the resurrection and then they knew that He meant He was the temple of the living God. And tonight you're members in particular of that body, as to the temple of the living God. See? And He said, Now, destroy this temple; I'll raise it up in three days. And they said He blasphemed. Said, All this many years it took us to build this temple and you're going to raise it up in three days if it's destroyed? He said, Destroy this temple. And when He resurrected from the dead they understood then that He was speaking of the human body. That He was the full temple of the fullness of God Almighty, and that here stood that wonderful temple of God. And that temple had been raised up within three days and standing in their midst. This temple. And the Bible said, as to this temple, it was destroyed for they sought how they might destroy Jesus. And it was destroyed and He raised it up within three days. And here He was and the veil of the temple was rent in twain. Remember? The Old Testament, the outer court. The inner court called the holy place and then the holies of holies? Let's just illustrate that for just a minute or two. Look at this tent tonight. You have a tent tonight. All right. Here it is as it was in the wilderness; a tent, see? And around that tent were posts and a fence. This was called the outer courts. Inside of that one tent there was two places, as I would say from this post here back, as we would use that like a little ten by twenty. And from this post up here, we would say as to the small tent, a little ten by ten. See? And we would say that back there is the holy place and this up here is the holies of holies. And in this is the covering cherubs that was between the people and the ark of the covenant where the mercy seat was and the cover cherubs. And my! what we'd like to say about them tonight. You know, Paul, in his day, he spoke of the covering and he spoke of the covering cherubs. He said, Of these things we cannot speak particularly but we can speak more particularly of them in our day. And it's revealed more today that we can understand better as we come on down toward the end where he said, The spirit speaketh expressly that in the later times many of these things would come to surface. See? And here we are speaking of this. Now, when the Bible says the veil of the temple was rent in twain it indicated that these two cherubs, that the veil had been rent, right there, in twain. See? The veil had been rent in twain. Only the high priest could rend those veils to the except of passing through into the place of the holies of holies. And being a figure of Him that was to come, Aaron, though he took the blood in, he could never make the comer there unto perfect with that kind of offering because the conscience  It did not do anything to the conscience and it was the offering of the blood of beasts. And because man had fell from the garden through this thing, as the beast, then that meant that the blood of the beast had to be spilt or given to release the life in it because God was full of wrath every time He would look at this light being imprisoned by the blood of beast and Satan having his nature confiscate this and get between this spirit angelic being on the inside and God. See? And the middle wall of partition, which is the flesh, no good thing. Paul said, wretched image that it is, born of the beast, out of wedlock as a bastard child image. I'll hate it in the morning when the light comes. And the light is now coming. So then, we have to make the change. So we understand then that this blood had to be spilt continually to give that light back to God to release that light. Like a rat, see? That's a perverted nature. The rat's all right. He's a creation of God and the blood is all right, as to that extent, but the blood has confiscated the life to the extent that there is a perverted nature. You know, when I breathe in the breath of life I have what we call the hemoglobin, that it has an infinitive for oxygen and when it takes that oxygen in it turns it red. And the Bible refers to the generation (Begin tape two, side one.)...as being a generation of vipers, that all of their labor is for their mouth and for their belly because their belly craves it of them. See? That is, everybody in Adam dies, through the fall, through the beast, through the serpent. All of them there, see? They are cut off and in this breathe of life that He breathed in the man to become a living soul, man was lifted from this, as being created from the dust here in Eden and lifted to the east part of Eden, which was the garden. And the illumination of God, as to the light, bringing that illumination from the tree of life, that great inspiration to his mind made him to be able to see spiritual things. He saw the spiritual tree, which had to do with Lucifer and He saw the spiritual tree of life, which had to do with God, and yet He was a natural man here to where he could have all the natural good things. My! I wish we had time to preach tonight. But, anyway, in these kind of things, see? There when man fell from that illumination he was right back to from the dust thou art, to the dust thou shalt return. I made thee on the level of a beast, I elevated you, I put you up here, I illuminated you in a godship to where you could have fellowship with me and now you've rejected that and back to the dust you go. Back to the beast you go, you are nothing more than a beast; born of the beast and that breathe of life in there is, as we say, the red dragon, the old serpent, the generation of vipers that's on their belly. All of their labor for their belly. See? That means that the with the people of that blood, that nature of Lucifer had gotten into that blood and through the fall, as to the beast, they were no longer as sons of God. See? Adam was the son of God before he fell. He was the son of God. Not by new birth but only by illumination. But he was the son of God. The Bible said he was the son of God. And he was a figure of him to come. Now, the illumination, that really was the son of God, it went away and Adam, which was the beast continued on. And it fell from that wonderful light. But the picture had been taken, the great bright light, the thing that had been snapped now had gone into the darkness to go through all of this work with that blood on the seat of atonement from the foundation of the world through the foreknowledge of God, like the little red light of the dark room, and going through this, as to the negative, had to come out at Calvary, the rent veil to bring forth a positive. And that is, from the earth, or the womb of mother earth comes that great wonderful positive, which is the sons of God. That's why David said tonight, Now, beloved, ye are the sons of God, even as Paul said. See? And my! if we just had a little time tonight. But, nevertheless, speaking of this, we know then that the rending of that veil, the rending of that veil did away with that covering and it caused Christ to plow through Moses and Elijah. In between, as we say, plow through and rend that veil of the covering of those two covering cherubs, those that are standing there, that man has driven out of the garden and there is that flaming sword. They can't get back to that tree of life. And here it is in a symbol, as Moses see it in a symbol, and God said, Make all things in the earth, Moses, according to the pattern shown thee in the mount. So he makes a little tent. He takes the beaten work of gold to show how Jesus was beaten with the whip, bruised for our iniquity and the chastisement of our peace being upon Him, by Whose stripes we are now healed. And He plowed through this at Calvary. He rent that veil because the Bible said He made in Himself, as a human being, He made in Himself twain. He made in Himself two. He made in Himself twain, both Lord and Christ. And He had to rend that veil by separating the Lord from the Christ. He had to rend that veil in two, or twain. So He rent the veil in twain. That is, He rent the law and the prophets. He plowed through that, as to the law and the prophets, as to Elijah, that the catching away of the spirit, and Moses as to that of the sentence of death within him. And, folks, it would take many hours to go into the deep mystery of God, as to the revelation of these things. But just hitting the top, a little highlight here, just stay with me and we'll bring a continuity of what we're saying, at least to edification of some things tonight. So, in this He plowed through the law and the prophets and the veil was rent in twain. And when the veil was rent in twain, in between there, standing on the inside as we say, we get a beautiful picture on the Mount of Transfiguration when Jesus appear in glory and there was Moses on one side and there was Elijah on the other side and in between them, as the veil was rent right here, we look and there stands the ark of the covenant, even Christ, Himself. Right in the middle. There is the blood on the seat of atonement right there. He appeared in glory because it's His blood and His blood alone that can reveal you. There is no other blood that can redeem you. See? And God had to spill this blood as a figure of Him to come because you, being in a beast lineage, being in a beast realm, and His people as the elect mixed up among those people, whereas, being in the same image as to the fallen, and yet on the inside as to the predestinated and the finished product in God, as to what He foresaw they would be in the end, they were not at all as those that were in the world as beasts. But, see? Like the metamorphosis of the butterfly, like the worm. Though they're on their belly, all of a sudden one worm breaks open and the cocoon releases a life on the inside and it's a buoyant thing and it becomes a heavenly creature. The other worm just keeps on crawling into the darkness of the hole. See? And we go through the metamorphosis of Calvary to come to this wonderful greatness of God, to become this wonderful thing. Like the butterfly with the lovely colors of the rainbow, as to the covenant, and we see this thing that God has done. Now. Becoming angelic. Becoming angelic. When we think of this, the veil being rent in twain, that was the door that was open in heaven. Now. I know I'm introducing a lot of things tonight. I don't have time to get into them, or to detail these things, but I have to introduce a lot of things here tonight to say just a few things concerning the blood. All right. So then, tonight when we look at this, what are we saying? Going all the way back to Babylon, five hundred years before the coming of Calvary, and it was during that time that the kingdom split and Jeroboam took ten tribes away into Assyria. Rehoboam kept the others, and Judah, as to the scepter, stayed with Rehoboam. And then later it was that King Nebuchadnezzar came, took the crown from Judah, took them down into Babylon. Daniel was just a boy. He went down there as just a young boy. He spent his life down there. Seventy years passing by. He knew from the scrolls of Jeremiah that it was said, Seventy years shall they be in Babylon. And then he went before God and he fasted and he prayed. Twenty-one days he held on to God. He said, I was mourning full twenty-one days. And he was crying out to God saying, My God! What will happen to my people in the later times. His people being the Jewish people. See? What will happen to them? I know that seventy years is determined upon them in Babylon but now this time is just about up and what must I do? In the days of King Artaxerxes there when Nehemiah received that blessing from God when the king said, go to the king's forest, build back the walls unto the coming of the Messiah. Or yet he didn't know the Messiah but he was saying unto your father. Build those walls back. See? Building them back through the five hundred years until the coming of the Messiah. So then, Daniel was seeing these things and when he got the visitation from the angel it was said to him, Four hundred and ninety years, as to the days. A day as a year, as shown to him by the scrolls. A day as a years. Four hundred and ninety years is determined upon thy people Daniel to make an end. Try to stay with me now. See? Four hundred and ninety years is determined upon thy people to make a full end. That is, it's determined upon thy people, the Jews. Daniel being a Jew he did not see that there was to be two thousand years, approximately two thousand years of church ages. He did not see that because he was a Jew and he was wanting to know what was going to happen to his people the Jews. And so it said four hundred and ninety years is determined upon thy people to make a full end. Now when I say these things I don't have time to detail them in this short little meeting here. See? But, and Paul said, I'm a preacher and a teacher. So when I start bring out a few little things here, as to the revelational side of things, it makes it very difficult, maybe for you to understand. But you can believe, from the bottom of your soul, it's exactly the way that I'm telling you. So then, when it comes to these things, I am saying that from the time that the crown left Judah, went down into Babylon there was only four hundred and ninety years left for the whole world span. Well, see? That sounds fantastic. That sounds awesome. Because the scholars let us know that there was five hundred years from the time of the Babylonian captivity until the coming of the Messiah, which was Calvary. There was five hundred literal years, see? And here, four hundred and ninety years of them is used up in this prophecy concerning this of Daniel. See? Only five hundred years is left to Calvary and now we're saying there was but four hundred and ninety years for the whole world. So then, we know that when this thing came to pass it was four hundred and eighty-three years, to be exact, from the time of Babylonian visitation until Calvary and it was predicted, or prophesied, that Messiah shall come after four hundred and eighty-three years. And it was spoken in a parabolic way and we just bring it out in the way it really is. You can go back and check into the parabolics. See? But we're bringing out the interpretation as the understanding of it. And four hundred and eighty-three years and here's Calvary. And said, Messiah shall come. And when Messiah comes He shall make an end of sin. Think of that, folks. And He shall make an end of iniquity. How did he make an end of sin? How did the Messiah make an end of sin? We know that He came. And we know according to the calendar dates, as to prediction, that He would go into Jerusalem and ride in on Palm Sunday. It happened right down to the "T" according to the Jewish calendar. Numbers of calendars, but go back to the Jewish calendar, which usually rounds off about twenty-nine or thirty days. And almost right on the day He went in after that long period of time. See? Messiah did come and Messiah did make an end of sin. Now stay with me. The Messiah made an end of sin. He said, and Messiah shall come and He shall make an end of sin. Now the question arises, did He do what He promised? Did God do what He promised? Did He bring the Messiah? You know He did. You know there is a Jerusalem over there. You know there is an empty tomb over there. You know there is a Holy Land over there. As I say, we own a place over there that's already paid for. Bought right near the tomb of David. Now, did He do what He promised to do? He did exactly what He promised. He promised to bring the Messiah. He did bring the Messiah. He brought the blood that was needed for the atonement. He brought the Messiah but did He make an end of sin? He said He would make an end of sin. And Messiah shall come and make an end of sin. And He shall make an end of iniquity. What was the ending of iniquity? The Bible said, In iniquity did my mother conceive me, that this image is an image of iniquity. Did God do away with iniquity? He certainly did. When He made Jesus your sinful body that you might be made the resurrected body of Christ Jesus and He exchanged with you and took your sorrows and heartaches and was bruised for your iniquities and gave you His loving body, as to the new body of bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh that you might be the children of the resurrection. Did He make an end of iniquity? For once and for all He turned His wrath a loose on that image of iniquity and He that knew no sin and iniquity was made sin and iniquity in the sight of God that you might be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. He died out of the presence of God saying, My God! Why hast thou forsaken me? That you might live eternally in the presence of God and that God could say to you, I'll never leave you nor forsake you, but lo, I'm with you always, even until the end of the world. And right when the angel appeared to me and the Lord, Himself, came to me in Miami, Florida when I was seeking God and I was lying there on that bed and he came in the darkness and picked my hand up and slipped a ring on my finger and I heard him say, And I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee, but lo, I shall be with thee in the time of trouble and in the time of need. And wherever I've been around the world any time that trouble arises He's always there with me. See? And He said to you, I'll never leave you. I'll never forsake you but lo, I am with you always, even until the end of the world. See? We can truthfully say God is our present help in the time of need. All right. So then, we understand that four hundred and eighty-three years and Messiah came. He did away with iniquity. He said He would do away with iniquity. My beloved Brother, Sister, where is iniquity today? Where is iniquity today? He did away with it. He did away with the sins of the world. Said, Let whosoever will come and yet, through His foreknowledge He knew who would and who would not. And them that He knew that would He wrote their names down in the Lamb's Book of life by foreknowledge saying, Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated. Before any works was ever done and while you were yet in your sins He saved you. He saved you. He took away your iniquity. He did away with your body of iniquity and there is no more iniquity to you. And the Bible said, Blessed is the man whose iniquities are taken away, whose sins are forgiven. Or whose iniquities are covered. That is, by the blood. Blessed is the man unto whom God will not impute sin. The Bible said, And Messiah shall make an end of sin. Did He make an end of sin? Did He make an end of sin? Come on, folks. Did He make an end of sin? Where is sin today? Where is sin today? He that is born of God cannot sin. Somebody say hallelujah! You can't sin when you are born of God. I challenge anybody in the world. I challenge anybody right here in the audience. Stand, I challenge you in the name of Jesus, and give me one Scripture to prove that sin isn't forever gone. He did away with it. He didn't lie. The Word can't be altered or changed; it's gone. You're free from sin. You can't sin. You belong to God. Someone would say, Well, I know that I sin everyday. Who told you that lie? Come on, folks. Somebody has been lying to you. That's what happened to Eve. The father of a lie. Who told you that lie? Oh, somebody said, Well, you have to sin everyday. Who told you that? The Lord said, Who told you these things, Adam? I didn't tell you those things. He isn't telling you those things tonight, but He's telling you you're the children of light. You are His bone; you are His flesh. Do you believe that His bone sins? Do you believe that His flesh sins? Do you really believe you are the bone and body of Christ? Oh, somebody says, Figuratively speaking, Brother Pike. No figuratively speaking about it. It didn't say anything about figuratively speaking. Come on, folks. Somebody says, Well, God's got  He's got  He's got  He's got  He's got to do what? What is it He's got to do? He's done it all. He's done it all. The Bible said, And you are a new creature in Christ. Are you a new creature or is that figuratively speaking? Come on, folks. We've got any new creatures in here? Are you a new creature? Do you know what the word creature means? That's talking about your body. Somebody said, Well, I know I'm in the spirit. It said body. Said be holy in body and in spirit. Isn't that right? Holy in body and spirit. And He said your body is the bone of His bone, and your body is the flesh of His flesh. Do you believe that? Come on. Do you believe that? It is true. Somebody said, Going to be. Listen. This is where the problem is with the church today. This is what's holding up the progress of Christ today. If I bring you up here and I pray for you, then I pray for you, you've got cancer. You've got problems and I pray for you, what do I have to do to get you healed? I have to make you believe, or bring you to believe that by His stripes ye are healed. All right. That means that you've got to believe it before it happens. The Bible said we believe to see. Isn't that right? Now, so then, we are trying to prove to you that all that is a lying vanity. Is that right? And the Bible said, He that observes lying vanities forsakes his own mercy. If you are going to observe that your mind, as to that vanity of sickness, or that vanity of problem, or that vanity of image that you are out there tonight, that despised thing, then you are forsaking your mercy that's in Calvary. Through faith you are to receive that mercy. If you observe lying vanities. What is vanity? Solomon said all is vanity. All is vanity. This whole world is vanity. What is a vanity? It's a reflection. You go to a mirror to look into it, it's a reflection of that which really is. Do you understand what I'm saying? All right. Be spiritual now. God is a spirit. You have spiritual children. So then, if you are going to be bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, as to the change, then you've got to believe it before it happens. Now. Somebody would say, But, Brother Pike, I cannot confess a lie. I cannot confess a lie. Then why do you confess the lying vanity that you are? Somebody say hallelujah! I said, Why don't you confess the truth? Jesus said it wasn't so in the beginning. That's the truth. And the Bible said you are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. That's the truth. Now, do you confess the truth, or do you confess a lie? The Bible said by His stripes you're healed. Do you confess the truth, or do you confess a lie? Do you confess the lying vanity? or do you confess the truth? See? What happens is we misunderstand; we get mixed up. I must confess the truth. I'm set for the witness of the truth. Jesus said, I'm set for the defense of the gospel. I'm just set for the defense of the truth, He said. Pilot said, What is truth? His Word is truth. And His Word is perfect, converting the spirit; converting the heart. So then, what are we saying tonight? I'm saying that the blood of Jesus is sufficient. The blood of Jesus has taken away my sins. When the Lord Jesus came and brought the new blood cell, the blood cell that was conceived in Mary's womb, when the great Holy Spirit, Himself, entered into the womb and created, re-created another blood cell, in that the first had become contaminated by the fall, as to the beast, and Lucifer, the spirit of lust living in it, even until today. See? That spirit is still there. And know ye not that the spirit within you lusteth unto envy? And that spirit is within you confiscating and taking control of your five senses to make you lust with the eyes and lust with your feelings, lust with your hearing, lust with your desire, that you are nothing but a big bundle of lust. You are a serpent; you are on your belly. All of your labor is for your belly because your belly craves it of you. But in God we're not. And the Word said let there be, and faith brought forth the world. And faith brought forth the creature. And today the Word is again saying, Let there be, and it's bringing forth the new creature. And it's bringing forth a new world. And everyone that can believe it is part of that world. How wonderful it is to be able to be spiritual and know that God is speaking the world out of existence. Somebody would say, How do you mean, Brother Pike, that God is speaking the world out of existence? He spoke the world into existence. Didn't He do that? He said, Let there be, and it came to pass. Isn't that right? And He said the sentence of death is in you. You're going to die because of what you did. But He said to you and I, Ye that have heard my words and believeth on Him that sent me hath passed from death unto life; shall never come into condemnation. And ye are a new creature and Ye are a new world. Do you believe that? Are you in a new world? Somebody said, Well, don't lean to your own understanding. Every thought into subjection to the Word, and the Word said it and that's what you are. And that body belongs to the Word and Satan through the tree of knowledge has stolen that body from the Word and now the Word has come to redeem it's body and ye are the bride of the Word and the Word must be made flesh, as to life, as to power, as to tranquility, as to peace and you must believe this thing. You must believe this into power. You must believe it into your life. Folks, let me tell you, you that are standing around waiting for something to happen in heaven and you're looking for the kingdom of God to come rushing down, you're going to be disappointed. There isn't going to be any days like that. Oh, somebody says, But, Brother Pike. No buts about it. There won't be any days like that. Somebody said, But I'm a Bible scholar. Stand up and tell me about it. We've got time. I can stop any time. There is no such thing. There never has been any such thing. There never will be any such thing. Jesus told the Jews that you're going to miss the whole thing. You're missing this thing, He said, because you're looking for God with your natural eyes. Even Paul, on the way to Damascus, just seeing a light and he went blind. What makes you think you're going to see the kingdom of God and you're going to see all these things with your natural eyes? What makes you think you're going to do that? Paul just saw a light, being a great Bible scholar, being blameless touching the law, or Sanhedrin, a great mighty man and just saw the light of it and he went blind. See? What makes you think you're going to do that? Jesus said to them, they said, Will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? He said, The kingdom of God don't come by observation. You don't see the kingdom of God by observation. You have your observatories. You have your points of observation. You study the stars. You do all these things. He said, Away with that; that has nothing to do with God. That has nothing to do with God. You are never going to find God searching around in the stars. Why didn't Einstein find it? See? You're not going to do that. Somebody said, Well, out there somewhere. Out there somewhere where? There's no top to that place out there. Have you ever stopped to consider there's no top to that place out there? and there's no bottom to that place out there? And there's no walls to that place out there? Did you know that? They've never found any. Do you know why? Because there isn't any. Just like the Bible speaks of the bottomless pit. What does it mean, bottomless pit? It means there is infinity without walls. Without walls, without foundation, without top. That you are hurled out into infinity to where there is no beginning and end and you are ever in that darkness out there to where you can never find any foundation. You are just wandering around out in that darkness out there, never to get out of it because it's a bottomless pit. See? And you get out there, you get off of earth, you get off of this little ball that you are floating around on and you get out there and where are you at? See? There is nothing out there. You are put on a little place called earth and given the ABCs and one, two, threes for the stability of your mind to keep you in tact with one another and keep you in tact with human sense and reason, as to balance. And once that is over there is no more balancing. And, folks, we've come to the crossing and we've come to infinity and we've come to the end of that. We've come to the end of the Einsteins and the brilliance and science, falsely so-called, with their little prodding around. And now we've come to the great mighty mind of God that's from everlasting to everlasting. You have an unction from the Holy One that ye should know all things. All things are made known unto you and you have the mind of Christ. And you comprehend the height, the depth, the width and the length of this great, marvelous, miraculous thing. See? But the world doesn't comprehend it. Einstein couldn't comprehend it. The great brilliants don't comprehend it. They don't even see this. The Bible said this great light, which is the understanding of God, the magnificence of that illumination that was over Adam, that this light has shined in the midst of the intellectual darkness but the intellectual darkness cannot comprehend it. With all of their brilliance they cannot comprehend it. For the people cannot comprehend this because they are blinded by the ignorance which is within them, which is the old tree of knowledge, that from the fall. The old houses of prostitution that's still going by badge and gun, forcing the little children into these things to corrupt them and to bring them to the molecular side of life, to bring them to human reasoning so that they won't have any faith. So that they won't be spiritual. So that they won't believe in the supernatural. God is a supernatural God. Why should we be bound to this little molecular side of life of a few little atoms floating around? or the composition of this natural body? When it would just go pew, like that? Like when they dropped the bomb on Hiroshima and the children actually turned into a blaze of fire. People turned into human torches because you are nothing but a little composition of atoms. See, folks? Why do we do that? We are an angelic being on the inside of this little clay house and Peter said if it be dissolved we have another one eternal in the heavens. That is, the resurrected body of the Lord Jesus, having born the image of the earthy, as to the first man Adam, it'll be dissolved, be taken away. The light of His brilliance on the inside of you, that kingdom on the inside of you. It's like the little mustard seed when Jesus said, What can I liken the kingdom too? Like the mustard seed that won't mix with anything. And this little thing that's so tiny that you almost have to magnify it to see it; and yet when it grows up, though it be smaller, smaller than all the seeds, yet when it grows up it's a great tree. And the Bible said, And the birds come and lodge in it's branches. Or that is, the angelic beings come and relate to you and fellowship you and lodge in the branches of this wonderful great tree of life and faith. See? On in the inside is the kingdom. When you walk somewhere that's the kingdom. Somebody says, Well. Well, well, well, well. Well, I say again, Well, what? See? It says, And, Father, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done. Didn't it say that? Didn't it say that? Didn't it say Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in heaven? Could have said on earth. You mean the will of God is going to be done on earth? What's earth got to do with it? It is His footstool, isn't it? So then, He said, Thy will be done. He said, When Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth. Now, if the kingdom of God comes that the will of God might be done on earth, then where is the kingdom of God? Could anybody tell me? It couldn't be on earth, could it? It has to be here. How could you make the will of God be done as the kingdom if it wasn't in earth? And what does He mean Thy kingdom come? Come to where? Come to earth. Come to earth. Oh, no, somebody says. Well, then I must be a false preacher. For the Bible said, And they preached the kingdom of God. And Jesus said, Repent for the kingdom of God is in heaven. Oh, no. He said it is at hand. And He said men are pressing their way into the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God. That they are pressing their way into the kingdom of God. Is that right? Is there anybody here tonight that's in the kingdom of God? How did you get in the kingdom of God? I thought the kingdom of God was in heaven. Do you believe that you are in heaven? All right. Now, we're getting somewhere tonight. So then, you believe that you are in heaven? You know, the rest of them think you are fanatics. But you do believe that you are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, don't you? And Jesus said, I am in heaven. I'm in heaven. Wasn't that what He said? He walked the earth but He said, I am in heaven. Somebody would say, But, Brother Pike, surely to God you don't believe that the kingdom of God is here? You don't believe that heaven is here? Well, when He walked up on the Mount there in the Holy Land the Bible said, And the fashion of His countenance was altered and there He appeared in glory. Where was glory at? On top of the mountain. Somebody say hallelujah! And where was Moses and Elijah at. Somebody said, In glory. But they were on top of the mountain. Oh, somebody said, well it couldn't have been there. Well, how did Jesus step out of glory and there He was back on top of the mountain? Do you love the Lord? So then, this thing must be a lot closer than we think it is. And it must be a lot different from what we think it is. Then what are we saying tonight? We're simply saying that this thing comes to pass not by observation. This thing comes to pass by believing. If you don't believe you don't get it. If you've got cancer and you believe you get it and if you don't believe you it you don't get it. And whoever did believe did get it. And if it's salvation whoever believed got it and the ones that disbelieved didn't get it. (Begin tape two, side two.) ....beside that. See? And He said to you and I, I've made you priest. I've made you priest unto My God and I've made you kings. And some shall be over five cities and some over ten cities. And the Bible said even in the Celestial world when the great pyramid city comes down that all of the earth shall walk in the light of this great wonderful mind of the government that penetrates these walls after these lively stone, of which stones ye are when Jesus made the statement and He said, I'll remember you and I'll spare you as a man spareth His son when I come to make up my jewels, as to the jewel walls. Whereas, John saw it and said it appeared as a bride adorned for her husband descending out of the great heaven, out of the great spirit. How could it descend out of heaven? Because before the tribulation period these stones are caught up. These stones are to come out of the ground, as to the resurrection, and they are caught up. And then when that great Celestial city comes they will return out of the great Celestial world, as to set up the great Celestial city. Someone would say, Then, Brother Pike, you believe there is going to be a natural earth here? There is going to be one thousand years of rule and reign on this very earth that you are standing on right now. It's the same earth. One generation comes and goes, another comes and goes. The earth abideth forever. It abideth forever. It never goes away. And so it changes from this condition into the millennium condition. Why? How? Why does it do that? How does it do that? Because seven years of tribulation has to come in before that. You and I defeat death and we defeat the curse by this believing that we're talking about. We defeat death and we defeat the curse. We do this and because of that there is no more curse. How many of you know there is no curse? that Jesus died to take away the curse? Cursed is everyone that hangeth upon a tree and He hanged there to take it away. Are you then under the curse anymore? Of course you're not. You're not under the curse of the law. There is no curse to you. There is no sickness to you. There is no sorrow to you. There is no heartaches to you. There is no poverty to you, only in the sense that you haven't been changed in the body and you are still allowing for these things because of unbelief. So what does the Bible mean when it says let us go on to perfection? Somebody says, But I'm a Christian, Brother Pike, what do I have to do on to? But He said go on to perfection. What is perfection? It says that the ministry is set there for the perfecting of the saints. And what kind of perfecting is that? To keep you from chewing and dipping and spitting? Oh, no. From dancing with another man's wife? Oh, no. You ought to have better sense than to do those things. See? You can get killed that way. But the thing is, what are we saying? What are we saying? The saints must be perfect and God has sent the ministry for the perfecting of their faith, that they are to know this Word. They are to have the revelation of this Word. And it's to be revealed to the saints of God that they are already a new creature, that they are already healed, that they are already perfect before God, that they have already been predestinated as unto good works in Christ Jesus, that they've already been sanctified once and for all by the offering up of the body of the Lord Jesus. And that they have already been glorified with Christ. And they are already that wonderful God child and all that they are doing is trying to make manifest from within this heavenly treasure that they already have, for now is made known to the church the manifold wisdom of God since the time of Calvary, since the rent veil, since the door is open in heaven. So we know then that this light is penetrating. It makes a man's face to shine. It made Jesus' whole body to shine and there He appeared in the illumination of the great glory of God and out shined the brightness of the noonday at the end of the church ages standing in the midst of the candlesticks. And the Bible said it was as though the sun shined within His strength. This great light that Adam had lost, this great illumination is back. It's on the inside of us. It's breaking forth from within us; this great wonderful heavenly treasure you now have in your earthen vessel. And all God is doing, having translated you as a spirit, an angelic being, into the angel of Christ, which is the mighty Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit. Then that means you are forever eternal. It means that you cannot die. It means that you are a finished product in God, that you are perfect forever and you are glorified. And now He's only using your mind, as to this warfare of these two things. No good thing within the body, as to the human senses that war against this as Satan being the god of this world, projecting himself into your blood stream, into your life, taking your life in control by the human senses to make you a bonds child, putting you upon the belly as being in the gravitational control of the human senses. See? A bonds child. We're not that. He's broken that. He's killed that. He's done away with that body. That mind of accusation is forever gone. Revelation 12 records it and when the child was caught up then the accuser of the brethren went out. When Jesus went up he done away with the accuser of the brethren. He doesn't accept anything against you any more. You're body is the purchased possession. It's already wrapped in His blood and there is no sin to your body. You cannot sin in your body. There is no way you can sin in your body. You're body is dead to sin. You are dead to the law. Transgression of the law is sin. You cannot die. You have already died by the body of the Lord Jesus. It's appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgement. Jesus broke this appointment. He met this appointment for us. And the Bible said He looked down from heaven and heard the groaning of the prisoners and he loosed them that was appointed unto death and succored them in a day accepted. So then, He hath loosed us from death. We are alive to never die anymore. As a matter-of-fact, that brings something to my mind. Somebody had a vision of us in the last night or two. Said they woke up crying because I think, from what I understand, if I didn't get it misunderstood. Somebody conveyed it on to me. Said one of the things that made the person cry was that they heard me say at the end of the vision, said, I am alive forever more. I am alive forever more. Oh, somebody said, You wouldn't dare do that. You want to hear me say it? I'm alive forever more. Somebody said, But, Brother Pike, what if you die? There ain't going to be no days like that. Oh, somebody said, but you might. There ain't going to be no days like that at all. No mights to it. There won't be any days like that. I've passed from death unto life and I'll never come into condemnation. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. If you are in Christ Jesus tonight you cannot die. Come on, Bible scholars. Somebody says, Well, I can prove it. Grab your Bible and come up here. Come up here. We want everybody to hear it. You don't have a leg to stand on. You don't have one Scripture. I said we've passed from death unto life. We are a new creature. Somebody said, Now, wait a minute, Brother. Now wait a minute, Brother. Now wait a minute, Brother Pike. Let's don't get mixed up and confused. Everything is running right on schedule. It's just right. Somebody says, What in the world are you trying to get these people to believe? The word of God. The word of God. And God is speaking the world out of existence. Why? Because the world has been in your heart. The Bible said God has placed the world within your heart and if the love of the world is there the love of the Father is not there. So He's speaking it out and this Word is going into your heart. And what is it doing? It's eradicating that old intellectual mind of the devil that comes from the tree of knowledge that loves the things of the world. For that is the world. It is a spirit. And the spirit is the lust of the world and God is speaking it out and He's eradicating it, transformating your mind. He's taking it out, replacing it with the mind of Christ Jesus. And what is the mind of Christ Jesus? It is the kingdom of God. It's the kingdom of heaven. It's the words of life and spirit. It is eternal. And it is given to you to be made your flesh and your flesh to be made the Word that you might make manifest in your mortal genes, as to your cellular parts, this wonderful light, this wonderful greatness that penetrated Jesus' body when He made the statement, I am perfected. Go tell that fox Herod, I do cures today. I'm a healing evangelist, that is but on the third day I'll be perfected. Go tell him. And on that mountain He was perfected and He commanded you and I to go on to this perfection. He was perfected in our behalf. He was perfected and the church was finished. And as He is so am I in He. I am God's workmanship in Christ. Folks, what God wanted me to be He didn't wait for me to come down here in my little ole puny way of life to become that. What He wanted me to be before the world ever was God purposed this in His heart and made His product and made His masterpiece and said, Now, this is you, Brother Pike. Come on, folks. Said, This is you. Somebody say hallelujah! This is you. Oh, somebody said, you couldn't think that, Brother Pike, that would be blasphemy. But Paul said, Seeing that Christ Jesus was made in the image of God He thought it not robbery to be  To be what? Equal with God. Do you mean you think you're equal with God? Oh, my God! somebody says, How did I think that? You think you're equal with God? Let me see your hand if you think you're equal with God. See? You don't really believe it, do you? Now we've got to get on one tract or another. Isn't that right? Like when we were in Sweden and I had my people with me and all of a sudden I found I was going this way and some was on this train and I looked through the window and they were going another way. I thought, Oh, my God! What is this? See? Now I don't need that tonight; let's get on the same train and go in the same direction. Isn't that right? Somebody say hallelujah! We were headed up to Norway, the land of the midnight sun. So then, that means that darkness is gone. When old Brother Joshua stepped over the Jordan the night went away, didn't it? Didn't it? My! I wish we could preach tonight and bring out a little revelation. So then, what are we saying tonight? What are we saying? Has it occurred to you few that are here on this island that it was San Salvador, as to one of the Bahamas, that Columbus came to when he established the new world? Could it be that God would take such a great cycle and bring these ladies over her in their long dresses and show us the early American way of life and what He brought this to be when He brought Columbus from the old country to establish a country with a real lady. Come on, folks. A real lady. Oh, somebody says, Wolves in sheep clothing. But isn't it wonderful to know what sheep clothing is? Somebody say hallelujah! Hallelujah! At least we learned that much from our lesson. Now. So then. You say, What are you talking about, Brother Pike? I mean the Bible calls the church an elect lady. If you can't be a lady would you consider yourself a part of the church? Says be holy in body and spirit. Do you know how a lady dresses? Do you know what a lady looks like? Do you know what the elect lady is? In America the woman that came in she says she doesn't want to be a lady. She could never be a lady. It takes being a God person in the heart to be a lady. And then after that you'll make the body look like a lady. Do you understand? We're in the feminine gender. We're God's bride. The elect lady, if you can't dress like a lady what makes you think you are a Christian. Come on, folks. Somebody said, Now stay with revelation, Brother Pike. You might be discovering something. This might be revealing something to you. Could be revelation to you. All right. So then, this island was occupied by ladies. America was occupied by ladies. They came from the old country to get away from the old country because of a religious conviction and came to the new country. And my! tonight if we could just share some of these things with you that we've seen in the last little bit that we've shared with our people just before we came over here of what has turned, at this moment as to a turn of events, and what has come to pass and why we're over here in these islands and why God has done what He's done. He goes all the way around back to the beginning because it wasn't so in the beginning. And He starts all over again and He's doing a new thing. I know. I know. You know, just hold on. I'm going to let you go in just a few minutes. But if I let you go where are you going to go? It was said, And He alone has the words of eternal life. Where are you going to go? You're just going to go do your own thinking again, back out in the flesh again, back out lounging around in the darkness again, eating and drinking, talking and going to bed and getting up in death. Somebody say hallelujah! But we're in life tonight. We're listening to the words of life tonight. What's the problem with the world today? They don't have time to understand. They don't have time to learn. They are so busy. They spend years in the old institutions of the world learning, being brain washed to where they become living walking devils; intellectual devils. See? But when it come to the word of God they don't have time for God. So then, they don't get the revelation of Jesus Christ like John did when he took time on the Isle of Patmos to spend some time with God. They are not like the prophets that stayed with God day and night. They are not like Paul that said meditate in the laws of God day and night. Bring every thought into subjection to the obedience of Jesus Christ. Why would you not want to do that? that that is the abundance of life? He said, I'm the prince of life. I've come that you might have life filled up and overflowing. Isn't that what you're looking for? If not why do you go to the medical centers? Why do you turn to any aid whatsoever, as to try to preserve your life? That's what you are looking for? Why do you go after the entertainments and the frolics of the world if you're not looking for life in the filled up and overflowing experience of life? See? And here it is and you evade it and you walk around it and you go on in death. All of you are on death row; everyone of you. It might be your funeral tomorrow, my funeral the next day, someone's the next day unless we make contact with Him. So then, the hour is here. The midnight cry is here. The shaking is now coming and the watchman on the wall is giving the cry, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, rise. Arise and meet Him. Where is the darkness, somebody said. The Bible said gross darkness would cover the people. See? Intellectual brilliance. Gross darkness. Intellectual brilliance, as to intellectual darkness of the old tree of darkness. See? Not this natural thing out here, just because the light went as to what we call a molecular structure of a little illumination of packets of light. But darkness as to what this darkness represents. All heavenly things understood by the natural things. See? By these things which do appear. And so then, the darkness is there and the gross darkness has covered the people. And they're more intellectual than ever before. And they've turned religion into an intellectual fad. See? And they're trying to serve God in the flesh when the Bible said that the flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither does corruption inherit incorruption. See? Am I then corruptible? If ye then are corruptible, how can you inherit this wonderful incorruption if you are corruptible. How can you do that? Folks, we're dead by the body of Jesus Christ and the corruption is gone and the body is now gone and the motions of sin cannot work in you anymore and you are resurrected in the newness of life. You've been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and now you are resurrected in the likeness of Christ Jesus and you are a new creature. And you are now standing in the very power and brilliance and glory of Almighty God to the glorification, even as the sun His Spirit shining in within your strength. And so then, here you are tonight and ye are the children of God. Not going to be, for John said, Now, beloved, are ye the sons of God. Is there any sons of God here. All right. I ask the question the other night, have you ever heard of a son of God dying? My wife, she got on to me. She said, You didn't clarify that. Said, Some of them misunderstood, so we're going to clarify it tonight. Have you ever been to the funeral of a son of God? Oh, somebody would say, Well, of course. Don't lie against the truth. How could you have gone to the funeral of a son of God. There's never been one that has ever died. Somebody say hallelujah! Oh, somebody said, But, I, I, I know that they died. You know, that's like people that wonder out. They get away from God and they get away from the church and somebody says, Well, how don't you go preaching that these people out there didn't have God. I know that these people had God and I know these were good people and I know they  You don't know nothing or you wouldn't even think like that. See? That a proof of your ignorance right there. The Bible says, and that's all we're got to go by is the word of God, to believe the word of God. It said if they had been of us they would no doubt have continued with us, but they went out from us that it might be made manifest they were not of us. Is that the Bible? All right. Are you going to believe a lying vanity or are you going to believe the word of God. Faith cometh by the word of God. All of this heresy, all of these things that you are hearing, all of these things are nothing by heresy. It's old wives fables that is of the flesh. That's all it is. See? Are you going to believe the heresy? How can that be faith? There is only one faith and that's by the hearing of the word of God. Give me just a little more time, now. You've done real well so far. All right. Like not too long ago, I repeat this. I've done it a number of times in my preaching. They had a little article that came out of the paper and it said, And today all of the faiths of the earth are going to come together and this faith, or that faith, and all these faiths and they're going to come together. And it was every walk of life, every paganistic whatever, and they're going to pray to God. My! what a conglomeration of a mess! Somebody says, Well, what do you mean by that? I mean a mess. That was a mess. Somebody said, You mean when all of the faiths come together? There is no "All of the faiths." That was nothing but a bunch of pagan people. A bunch of heathenish people, and the Bible said choose not the way of the heathen. There is but one faith and that is by the hearing of the word of God. One God. One faith. One baptism. See? Just one. Not many faiths. That's nothing but paganism. And when you are carnal in your mind and you are wrapped up in the world you don't have to be a murderer, you don't have to be a liar. You don't have to be a cheat, as to what you think. You are just being carnal and you are abiding in death and you've never found life and there is no life in that molecular side of life. That is a quickening. That is a natural quickening from a molecular structure and there is no quickening in that as to the quickening of the Holy Spirit of that blood cell that came to be in Mary's womb. The only quickening of life is in that one blood cell that Jesus placed on the seat of atonement when he broke through the cherubs and put it on that seat of atonement, into that which is not a figure of that which was to come, but the very true place that God Himself has pitched as the holy place, the holies of holies. There is only life in that one blood cell. And this is why, of course, as we said here in the beginning, when the One that set upon the throne had the book, that was the book of redemption. It was in the right hand and John cried much because there was no one that could open the book or loose the seals thereof. And the voice said, See that you weep not, John, for there is one that has prevailed to open the book and to loose the seals thereof. And it is the Lamb of God. The lion of the tribe of Judah, it said. And when he looked it was the lamb with seven eyes. See? And he went forth, he took the book and he loosed the seals thereof. And I wish we had time to go into the seals and go into the loosening and what those seals were and how they got there. But there was the book, the book of redemption. Why was it no other one would open that book? It was the book of redemption. It was everything that God had required in the ritualistics and the formalities and the laws and restrictions of Israel. And no man had ever fulfilled it. No man had ever kept the law. Ye hath the law and none of you keep it. See? But here He came, He kept it. He fulfilled it. Jesus, the prophet like unto Moses, He fulfilled every jot and every tittle of it. And then after that He fulfilled it He folded it up and laid it away to get it out of the way and He nailed to His cross the keeping of ordinances so that there would be nothing against us and fulfilled everything by His Spirit within us, as our thoughts being the means, as Paul disputed with the Jews concerning this. Our thoughts being the means while accusing or else choosing, or excusing one another. So then, this is a work wrought within the heart, as to the keeping of the commandments of God. So when we look at this there was only one, just one that had the power to open this book for all of the blood of humanity was contaminated. And God, having made all men of one blood there was no other blood but this one blood cell. This one blood cell. It had come to pass that God had brought a new blood with new life. In that life is in the blood He had to have a new blood cell and this life within the blood cell now there was new life. And when this spirit that quickened and made this blood cell into a molecular structure that God Himself, as to the great Holy Ghost being the Father of Jesus, bringing this to pass He now, today, lives inside of your body. And He is now living in you. If you have His Spirit then you are His. If you have not the Holy Ghost within you, which is the Spirit of Christ then you are none of His. But if the Spirit be in you it will quicken your mortal body. And if the Spirit be in you then you have passed from death unto life and your spirit, your angelic being has been translated into the angel of Christ which is the spirit of Christ. And now on the inside of you you have this quickening that's changing your blood into royal blood and you're blood now is royal blood with royal life and it makes your bodily structure royal. Royal. You know, when we talk about the changing of the body, as I said the other night, this can be real besetting sometimes, not understanding words when I would say to somebody here, Look, I'm driving a Ford and I'm going to change over to a Lexus, then you would say, My! that would be certainly a difference, Brother Pike. I would say, Sure enough, that would be a difference. Now. So then, you would think, Well, one car, now it's gone, another car. See? But that's where we misunderstand. You are the same individual that you've always been before the world ever was. You are the same individual that you have been through the past in the mind of God. You are the same individual you will always be. As long as there is a world that will always be you. And when Jesus resurrected from the dead, though He appeared in another form, as to that change, yet He was the same Jesus, else it would not have been a true resurrection. See? And you are the same one. And when Moses and Elijah appeared in glory they were the same Moses and Elijah. See? You are the same one so that doesn't mean, as to a change, that all of sudden this body is going to go away and another body is going to come. See? That's where the baffling part is. That is where the part is that trips you up. It's misunderstanding the word of God. See? And that's what the ministry is for. It's to correct that and to explain that and to teach that. See? The change is nothing but just like the light that's in this bulb. If you turn the light off then it's absent of the glorification. But if I turn the light on then the power and the surge of the fire that comes in to the little filament that goes out in to the circumference of that bulb, in the circumference, then it come out from that. It lights the area and the shadows flee away and the environment is thus lightened. And thus the glorification is there. And to us this light is symbolic of understanding. With this understanding this is what light is. This is no light. This is only symbolic. So then, if you are the bulb of God, if you are, within, as a soul mechanism of God and this great wonderful light of God is coming into your body, then it must penetrate your mortal genes and it must change and alter the countenance, or the fashion of your countenance. It must alter that and this light must break forth as from within you into this mortal body that it might be aglow and change into the glorification of God. This is what the Bible means when it shall appear, as to what you are. Though you are already the sons of God; yet it does not appear, as to the appearance, or your appearance or their beholding this, seeing this, it does not yet appear what you are. See? But when Jesus, there on the mountain in the midst of those men praying and all of a sudden He changed. See? That was the change. All of a sudden this light from within Him made itself manifest for the Bible said the fullness of God was in Him. And this God begin to manifest itself as that Word light, God's Spirit light, began to be made manifest within the mortal genes, within the cellular parts of the body. So then, we're on the verge of this but we've got to believe it into power. Just as you believe healing into power you've got to believe that into power. Somebody said, Well, I believe. I believe that God will come down and heal somebody. I believe that God has healed me and I believe that He came down and He healed me. And if we pray here tonight I believe. I believe that God will come here and healed somebody. Folks, that's altogether wrong. God isn't coming from any where to heal anybody. The Bible said out of your innermost being flows rivers of living water, and out of your innermost being you will draw from these wells of salvation the waters of life through joy for joy is your strength. The joy of the Lord. God doesn't come from any where to heal you. God is on the inside of you and He's above you and He's in you and in Him you have your existence. And God is present here that's why the lamb died, so that God's presence could be throughout the world. If He's presence wasn't here God would see these images of iniquity and He would just shoooo and every bit of it would be gone away like that. See? And because God had to spare the natural image so that the world could multiply, replenish the earth, finish the course, then He left you in that kind of condition. Until that time He's illuminated you with the Spirit of God and by your light the rest of the world through the blood of the lamb has this illumination. Jesus took away the sins of the world and God has given them all these medical things and they are in heaven. That's how Satan was in heaven in Revelation 12. The serpent, that on his belly, the old worm, the worm Jacob, the Bible says, he's climbed up into the upper lintel by grace and he's in this heaven place. But there is going to be war in heaven and this intellectual thing is going to run into the truth and this truth is being now revealed. And all of this intellectual indoctrination is going to run headlong into it and God is going to cast the devil out. That old intellectual Bible scholar and these seminary boys and all these people that's around, these girls that's running around and they don't have the Holy Ghost, and they don't have the knowledge of God, and they don't have the Spirit of God, (Paul said, I speak this to your shame) and they're going around here in these kind of things, as to the lust of the flesh and looking for preeminence and trying to have money and have the preeminence over God's people and lord over God's people; God's going to bring a war and they're going to be cast out. See? And this heaven is going to pass away because the blood is going to come off of the seat of atonement and there is not going to be anymore heaven in this dark hole that will be the bottomless pit. There won't be anymore. The expulsion will be the withdrawing of the light. Seven fold it will come and it's already come. It's lighting up. Seven church age messengers and it lightens up, and it lightens up, and now we're down to the full scale of it and it's lighting up to tell us what? That we are. That we are. Go tell them I AM has sent thee, Moses. Don't tell them I was, or what you're going to be, or what you could be. But they said, Who sent you? Moses said, I AM. I am what I am. By the grace of God I am. Said, You tell them I AM. What was He saying? Moses you go tell them that you are God. I've made you God to the people. Is that what the Bible says? See? Somebody said, But, Brother Pike, do you mean to tell me that you're tell us that we are gods? How many of you believe you're gods? Isn't a god something that lives forever? Didn't Jesus have this dispute when He said, And for what good work do you stone me? And they said, For a good work we don't stone you but being a man you make yourself God. Isn't that what He said? He said, If it is written in the Scriptures that I've called ye gods, ye unto whom the word of God came, even as to Moses. (Begin tape three, side one.

Could Jesus have said, Ye are gods. Do you not believe that you are gods? Do you believe that Jesus is God? Everybody that believes that Jesus is God let me see your hands. Everybody that believes that that Jesus is here to night as bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh? And you don't believe they're gods? And I've said this so many times, a little simple illustration, and that is, it takes a dog to beget a dog. It takes a cat to begat a cat. It takes a elephant to bring forth an elephant. It takes a man to bring forth a man. Is that right? And it takes a god to bring forth a god. And you say that you are born of God. Is there anybody born of God? And what could you be if you are born of God? Couldn't be anything else. So then, Jesus reproved them because He said, You are of your intellectual, the father the devil, from the old tree of knowledge and his will you do. And all these people that are running around like that, see? They say, Oh, my God! I wouldn't do that; that's blasphemy. I could never do that. It's for sure you never could because you are not a god. But it's no problem for a God to confess that he's a God. It's no problem to say, God has made us equal with Himself. By His blood we now have the royal blood. We now are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Now, listen to this. You might dispute this but listen at it for just a minute. When God put Adam in the garden His one purpose was what? To make man God. His one purpose was to make man God. And that God, Who was the eternal Spirit, that He should live in the body of Adam and that Adam should be God. Isn't that right? And what happened? When Adam went the wrong way did Adam thus become God? Yes. He became God, but he become god as to Lucifer. Lucifer. He became the image of Lucifer and in Adam all die. Now. What happened? Did God actually intend to make Adam God? Someone would say, Of course not. Well, why did He bring the second man Adam? And why did He make the second man Adam God? Isn't the second man Adam God? You told me that. Isn't that what you told me a few minutes ago? You said you believed Jesus was God. Who believes that? All right. The fullness of God. God did not give this to Him by measure like He does to you. So, the fullness of God. Is that right? And wasn't He the second man Adam? So then, God succeeded in His plan, didn't He? He made Adam God. Is that right? Now, if we are of the first man Adam and we've born of the lineage of Adam, and the first man Adam unto death. Now that we're the dead by the body of the Lord Jesus, regenerated and a new generation and now we belong to the generation of Jesus Christ by the washing of the water of regeneration, and now we are the second man Adam and bone and flesh of the second man Adam, then what does that make you? It makes you God. You are the god body. He is the head of god body and you're the members of the god body and all things are yours. The world is your. The Bible said the world is your but we've got to purge it. See? The world is yours. Somebody said, But the Bible said love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. All that's of the world is the pride of life and the lust of the flesh and the world, and the lust thereof passeth away but ye that doeth the will of God abideth forever. That's Bible. Sure. That's Bible. Now. But, somebody says, Well, but the Bible said God so loved the world. If God loved the world then I can love the world. But I've made the statement a lot of times. He so loved the world when it was in it's condition, as to the virginity stages of the garden when there was no contamination and sin and sent His Son to redeem this earth and to redeem this world, to bring it back to the virginity that it will be in the millennium, as to the restoration of the garden. And then from that the Celestial world. So then, we're not to love the world in the present condition, nor have the love of the world in us. But you have to have the kingdom of God within you. Are you understanding better? So, let me say this and we're going to try to close. The four hundred and ninety years then, what was it? It meant four hundred and ninety years, that's all there was of the world. There wasn't going to be any more world. How could that be, Brother Pike? There's only five hundred years from the time of Babylon over to Calvary. It is real simple, that when four hundred and eighty-three years transpired God took seven years from the four ninety leaving the four eighty-three at Calvary and put the last seven years way over here in the end of the world. The seven years over here, that when this seven years is finished it will automatically be brought back, as we say, to the four eighty-three to the finishing when the church goes out. When it is finished no more world because that's all that was determined. But this two thousand years that's in between that Daniel could not see because he could not see the church, it was invisible. Then from the four eighty-three over to the seven, this two thousand years, what is this two thousand years? Is it then the earth? No. It's heaven. This is heaven. And the serpent has climbed up into the upper lintels through grace by the blood that took away the sins of the world. And he's enjoying things just like you enjoy it and you can't tell the difference today. Only the elect can tell the difference between a child of God and that mirror that's a reflector out there that's acting just as religious. But when the midnight cry comes and the sun does down and there won't be any reflection, as to the light in the mirror, then all of a sudden the different ones are going to check themselves and find out that on the inside they don't have the Holy Ghost. They don't have the oil. They've been religious, they've reflected the children of God. They done all of these things. They had the heavenly orient, as to the blessings of God, to take away their sins as to this two thousand years time, or this grace dispensation, or of this time that they've turned the grace of God into lasciviousness, sporting their diamonds and their pearls, their frolics and their faces, the old serpent himself, that that's on the belly. All of his labor for his belly when the Bible said the poison of asps is under his lips. And with their tongues they use deceit. And the Bible said, And the way of peace they don't know. And their feet are swift to shed blood and destruction and misery is before them and their throats are open sepulchres. And there is no fear of God before their eyes. They revel on and do what they want to do. What is it? It's the end of the world. We're speaking the world out of your heart and now the new world is coming in, just like San Salvador and we're back to the beginning. And so then, that means that God is starting a new thing. And I will do a new thing He said. And all of a sudden the new thing is here. And what is this? To teach you that you might believe. For Enoch was translated by faith that he should not see death. So then, what does this mean? That if all of this comes to you that's the mind of Christ, then you believe it, that means everything is over for them out there. Because as soon as you come into this faith, as to the perfecting of your faith, the hearing of the Word and the perfecting of the faith, that means that all of them that are in the world will have grace no more. That's the midnight cry. And when you go to check up if you don't have His spirit you're none of His. The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord searching out the inward parts. And when you go to trim that little wick that's called faith then that means that you're going to find out that you don't have any oil. You're not going to have faith in Christ for faith cometh by the hearing of the Word. And if you believe in the Word then you live holy in body and in spirit. And if you just go about in a religious sort of a way when you check up you don't have His spirit. You'll find out it isn't there. Because if you had had the nature of Jesus, the same yesterday, today and forever it would have done the same thing in the bodily members of you that it did then because you are the bodily members of Christ. If not then that means that you're not the bodily members of christ. And the reason is because you have not his spirit, as to the royal blood seed to make you the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. So you're nothing but a molecular, rejected of God. Out in the world you didn't make the change. You didn't go back to where Adam fell from, as to that within you, to receive of that spirit of life so you're nothing but an animal and you'll pass away with the world. Do you love the Lord? All right. Let's stand together. It took a little long tonight, but I purposed in my heart before I got up here I would. I really, really have barely, barely scratched the surface as to what we need to say tonight. Great is the mystery of godliness, Paul said. And I'm a steward of the mystery. And it's required of a steward to be faithful. So then, tonight I took a little long. I purposed in my heart I would take a little long because I knew that this was the last night of the meeting. And I tried on the first night to break down the walls and barriers of hypocrisy. On the second night I tried to expound just a little bit, as to the rest of God that you enter into by faith. And then on the third night I tried to bring about an understanding as to redemption, as by His blood and the change into what God said, as to being a new thing. That I will do a new thing. So then, here we are tonight. What are we? Are we then the same as we were? Of course not. What happened? We moved from faith to faith. Where is glory? somebody says. Where is glory? Well, there's one glory of the stars. There's another of the moon. Every star differeth in glory. A woman's hair is her glory. A young man's strength is his glory. But where is the glory of God? Now, somebody would say, Brother Pike, God will not give His glory to another. And we do acknowledge that that is the very truth. He will not give His glory to another. But thank God that we're not another tonight. We're the bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh and Jesus said, Father, glorify these with the same glory, My glory, that I had with Thee before the world ever was. So then we are the glorified ones with His glory because we are not another. Isn't that wonderful? So then, we know then that we are glorified tonight. The church is already glorified. Somebody would say, Well, Brother Pike, God cannot come back until we get perfect. So then, we've got to stop chewing and spitting and dancing with the other man's wife. Oh, no. As I said, that only takes good common sense. To leave off with smoking just takes good common sense, in that you don't want your lungs to freeze up on you to where you can't breathe. And to leave off with chewing and spitting like an old goat just takes good common sense, because you don't smell good and the stuff runs all over you. And not to dance with another man's wife is good common sense. Because you're going to get too attacked and she's going to get too attached and the Bible said you can't take fire to your bosom without getting burned. So you know you're burning like a flame with lust and you'll probably get your brains blown out in the end. See? So we're not talking about those things. We're talking about faith in the Word of God. Jesus said cleanse the platter on the inside. Get the old corruption out. Get the lust out. And said, the outside, it'll take care of itself. This light will manifest itself in your mortal genes and you'll delight will be in the laws of God and the things of God to do those things and to meditate in His laws day and night. You'll have a new appetite and nobody will have to force you to eat. Do you love the Lord? So then, that means that what we are tonight we are by faith. I am tonight, by faith, I am what I am. By the grace of God, Paul said. So then, tonight I am a child of God. I am alive eternally. I once was dead in trespasses and sin but now I've resurrected from the dead. I am alive forever more. Gods do not die. Gods cannot die. That's why they are gods. They lived on. They live on from generation to generation. So then, if you're born of God you cannot die. If you're born of God you cannot sin. If you're born of God then that means say what you will and it will be done to you. You that are dwelling in heaven, you've been caught up to the throne and Lucifer has been cast out and he's no more. And you are believing yourself to the change. What do we do with death? All of our life we're subject to bondage because of the fear of death. Do you believe that you're going to die? I say again, there is no lonesome valleys for you. Christians don't walk lonesome valleys. Death hath no power over you. Death cannot even come near you. Should you go to asleep, as to the departing, as to the body from the spirit, you go to sleep. It's a world of difference. I tell you over and over, for your body to depart from your spirit is only a sleep. But, when you're spirit departs from God that is death. And your spirit can never depart from God. So the spirit of death can't come near you. You are light on the inside and darkness cannot come in. And you are light. Light eradicates darkness. You are light. This light. And light that lighteneth every man that cometh into the world. So you are children of light and you are children of life, even the words and understanding of life. The tree of life; understanding. So then, you are a light and you can't die. And there is no lonesome valleys for you. But those that are without are to walk the lonesome valley and they'll walk it by themselves. And the light of the world, which is Christ, will not be there. And since they are not the light of the world, as the body, there won't be any light. But the intellectual grossness of darkness, as to the gross intellectual stupidity of what they call brilliance, they will be caught within the environment and the circumstantial control of death and ignorance, not to know God, nor see God. And during the tribulation period they'll gnaw their tongues for pain because the only healing medicine they have is that that they reflect of you, as to a knowledge. And when you go out, as the church, there won't be any healing medicine whatsoever. And they'll gnaw their tongues for pain because of the intellectual darkness which will cause the understanding of God to be completely gone. There will be no God understanding as to light. They'll be caught in the intellectual darkness and that will be the devastation because God will bring them to the valley of blood until their blood runs to the horses bridle because they are the beast that's caused the problem, that's responsible for the death, as to Joseph, and a beast got him, it was said. And he's blamed with the death. And so then, we know that the children are innocent. The brethren were innocent because they really did not kill him. Remember? They just put him in the pit. Joseph going ahead to preserve posterity. Joseph revealing himself to the brethren. So then, what are we saying tonight? We're saying that you are light. You are already perfect. The Bible said God hath perfected forever. He hath made perfect forever His people. Having sanctified them one time, and for all. Once and for all He hath sanctified them by the offering up of the body of the Lord Jesus through the sacrifice of the Son of God, dying out of His presence to take away their sins. And so then, you are free from sin and sanctified once and for all. Now. What do I do then, Brother Pike, with what the Bible says that we must sanctify ourself daily? The sanctification daily means your body which has not been changed, that this sanctification, as to the blood of Jesus and the spirit on the inside of you, meaning to conform to His way and to submit yourself to His way, as to faith purifying our heart, as to faith as unto sanctification, a shield of sanctification that Satan cannot penetrate and quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked. And that daily you are to conform, submit. That is your daily sanctification. It has nothing to do with your salvation. It is only the manifestation of this heavenly treasure from within you to make this life manifest in your mortal genes as toward the change from the translation of the spirit through the channel of the transformation of the mind. By this you become to be the transfigured spirit of the illuminated. And that is a sanctification that you might utilize this great heavenly potential as this heavenly treasure that you already have on the inside. For now within your earthen vessels there is made known to you the manifold wisdom of God, the manifold wisdom of God. You've got the full impact of the manifold wisdom of Almighty God. It's within you tonight. So then, having this wonderful potentiality on the inside through a sanctification of self-denial, as to a conformity of this mind, this potentiality if released into your body for the perfecting, as to the change, and released through you as a dispenser to mankind of this great manifold wisdom of God. So then, now is made known even as to the heavenly places, this wonderful understanding and glory of God. This mind being the transformating power that will transfigure you, that raises the dead, remember, you have no fear of death. Why? Because the world is yours. And the Bible said death is yours. Did you know the Bible said death is yours? that you now are the master of death? And you command death and you control death and you give it it's liberties. And you use it as a tool as to whatever is beneficial to you because you are the master. You are Christ and Christ is the Master. Behold, I give unto you power over all the powers of the enemy, which means Christ within you that conquered all things. And you are now one with Christ and it's not you living. You body is dead by the body of Jesus Christ. It is now Christ living and not you. Paul said, So then, it's not I that live but Christ that liveth within me, and the life I now live in my flesh I live it by the Son of God. So, tonight you are a finished product for you are complete in Him. And what God wanted us to be He made Christ to be that and then He gave us the exchange of the bodies that Christ might be what we are in the failure of the first man Adam. And that we might be Christ Jesus what God wanted us to be as that perfect one, the one that's resurrected from the dead. And so tonight yield your members unto God as those that are alive from the dead, being a new creature, the body. And being in a new world and believing this we now have another world even as Columbus came. Now this is a spiritual world going to the next transitional change from the natural to the physical to the spiritual of those three covenants, as the last as we said, of this two thousand years, as to now the angelic. And the church is coming in, and the world is going out. My! what we could say tonight as to the revelation of the Son of God. Hundreds of tapes at home that we've preached different things of the great wonderful revelation of Christ. And here it is, it is still in full strength being here in the Bahama Islands. What a wonderful thing. Even today great things have been taking place as we've watched them in the spirit today. Wouldn't you like to live forever. A little chorus my wife wrote and the chorus was, If I'm going to live forever I think I'll just start now. I'll just start now. So then, why not start tonight? And if you are alive forever and you are the children of God it's about time that we run an abstract to get the squatters off of the land. So then, tonight you are not going to be, you already are. Listen at me real careful now in closing. It's time we got out of the wilderness. We're not going to be sons of God, we already are. If you believe that raise your hand. We are not going to become good folks and holy folks. By the blood of Jesus Christ we already are. Somebody said, But, Brother Pike, the Bible said there is none good but God. But you told me you were the God body. And the Bible said these are holy even as I'm holy. Isn't that right? And we're not going to be holy, we already are holy by His blood. We are not going to be sanctified. We already are sanctified. If you believe that raise your hand. And we're not going to be perfected. We already are perfected forever. If you believe that raise your hand. And we're not going to be glorified. We already are glorified. If you believe that raise your hand. All right. So then, we're not going to heaven. Come on, folks. Why aren't we going to heaven? Because heaven came to us. And the Bible said, You shall inherit the kingdom of God. And your spirit inherited the kingdom. And the law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been here. The kingdom of God has been here and men have been pressing their way into it and I've been preaching the kingdom of God and the name Jesus the same way that Philip did down in Samaria. So then, the kingdom of God is already here. And in that the kingdom of God is here we're not looking for it by observation. It is suppose to appear within us. And the Bible said the Lord of host shall suddenly return into His temple. Or appear from within His temple whose temples ye are, and I will make all of the world come and kneel at your feet and know that I have loved you. And they'll glorify God within you and that great light is coming from within you. When I look by observation I see the light coming over the horizon, but when I look, interiorly speaking, I see this great light coming from within. I know some of you can't do that. You're mind is on faces and forms and you are lusting after images. I know that you are not with me tonight but I'm speaking of the precious children of God, that your minds are in the Holy Spirit and seeing the Christ tonight. And beholding the brilliance of the Prince of Peace, that Christ. Remember, always there are false images and false brothers and false sisters among you. Remember that. They are here for no other purpose than to catch your attention, as to the lust, to keep you away from this glorious thing. But you that love God  There are some of you, I can feel your spirit, and I know that you love God, and they can hear my voice because they're my sheep. The others don't hear my voice. See? Because having ears they don't hear, having eyes they don't see. All they see is the eyes of lust. And they're children of bondage to the old depleted side of life, to the depraved side of life and they're still lusting after the beast like Eve did. And running after that image all the time. And they're dying in their corruption as they wallow, as swine, in the mire of their lust. And left, as it would be, the vomit. The Bible said, And all of my tables were, religiously speaking, are full of vomit, as to lukewarmness. But I would that you were hot or cold. Because you are lukewarm I've turned you into vomit. I've spewed you out of my mouth. So then, the Laodicean age, and here we are. So you that receive this, few there be that find it. I had a vision when I was in Nevada, having our crusade in Nevada, after the Nevada meeting I had a vision and in the vision the translation took place from our message. And we were caught up. We were caught up. There in the translation we were caught up. And I looked, and as the bombs, I guess it was, that flashed as lightning from out of heaven, and the thundering and the roaring. See? I suppose it was bombs. And I looked and I looked off in the distance and out of all of the people I saw only a few. I could count them on my figure, the best I remember. Out of all of those people only a few. Few there be that find it. Straight is the gate; narrow is the way. And in this translation  And He said to you, You pray always that you might be accounted worth to escape those things that's coming on the earth for they are going to gnaw their tongues with pain. See? And I know where you're at tonight. I know your spirit. I feel it. I feel it tonight. It's sad that even the married men and the married women are in the same condition and you stand there in that kind of evil not knowing that the devil is in your midst and that he's projecting himself so that for your admiration that he can get you, as to him being attractive, or her being attractive, so that he can get you, to attract your attention to keep you away from this wonderful thing of God. All through the service he's tried to do this. Now then, seeing that we already are the sons of God, we've already passed from death unto life, we cannot die. Already we are passed from death unto life. We will never come into condemnation. Not one living human being in the world can lay anything to the charge of God's elect. It doesn't matter how much fault they find they can't lay one thing to the charge of God's elect because you already are a church without spot, without wrinkle and without blemish. And the Bible said you keep yourselves and the evil one touch you not. So that means that you are without spot. Jesus said, Don't touch me. I've not yet ascended to My Father, as to the resurrection. So then, you that believe this, you that have come to this are going to be young and strong and healthy. You already are. You're going to be alive forever more. You already are. You just haven't made it manifest as to the light in the bulb because you've been slow, as in your progress. You've been slow, as to the aggressiveness in God and Satan has blinded you and dazzled all before your eyes and pulled your spirit. See? Though you say, Well, I believe God. I'm in church, I do this. God is a spirit. You serve God with your spirit as with your mind. As you think in your heart so you are. See? And God has got your spirit, that's His spirit and He's interwoven them with His Spirit. You're His children. You're His members. See? And only a few have come this way. The rest are religious, will pass on through the tribulation period. But you, being the Bride of Christ, as to these thoughts, every thought into the virtue and purity of Christ Jesus, despising the image. Folks, this is a strong ministry. This is a strong message. A lot of people say, What do you mean? Jesus said, If you're going to follow me you've got to do something. The man said, Let me bury my dead? He said, Let the dead bury the dead. He turned to them and they said, We'll follow you. And a man said, I'll go with you, Master. He said, The birds of the air have nests, the foxes have holes. The Son of Man doesn't have a place to lay His head. And then the crowd followed Him and said, We follow you master. He said, Lest you hate your mother, lest you hate your brother, lest you hate your sister, despising the image of the first born. Lest you despise it as I despise it you couldn't be one with Me. You couldn't be one with me. It's a strong message, folks. And what happened to the crowds? What happened to the followers? That image that must die, that outer man that must die, projecting himself to look real lustful to draw the ladies attention. And the lady that stops looking so lustful so that she won't draw the mens attention. Jesus said just to look and desire. Desire? That's lust; the original rendering. To look and desire you've committed adultery already in your heart. Already you are adulterers. A generation of adulterers. And He said, A sinful, adulterous generation that dresses to draw attention, that walks  The Bible said they mince with their feet. And with their eyes. They use their eyes to entice you and they dress up and spruce up and put on things that are outstanding so that they can be loud...(Begin tape three, side two.) ...or the women, as well as the married. The single women. And you married men, as well as the single men. And you're caught in the rut. It's so sad. It's here tonight. So sad. But I've told you. The blood is off of my hands and I've told you. And somebody said, Are you speaking to Bahamians? Jesus said, What I say to one I say to all. I'm speaking to Bethlehemites. I'm speaking to all of you. I've got Bethlehemites here in the same condition. Same condition. You wear sheep clothing but you are false brothers and sisters. And you are ravening wolves, and you are filled with the lust of the flesh. And your eyes are full of adultery and you cannot cease from sin. Beguiling unstable souls and promising them liberty when ye yourselves are the bondage of corruption. How sad! But, beloved, don't let this trouble you. You are the children of God. You are eternal. You are eternally alive. You are resurrected from the dead and now it's all over. And it's all finished and the end of the world is here. And at last it has come. He said He would come and He hath come. And He hath come for you. And remember, you don't altogether understand, but just believe what I'm telling you tonight. It's exactly the way that I've told you and that's why that this ministry is in the Bahamas tonight. That's why that God picked the little tent that a child could be born, even the Christ Child, the members of His body could be born. You know why? There was no room for Him in the Inns. No room for Him in the churches uptown. There was no room for Him in the Inns. Too much worldliness. He couldn't get in there, but He found a little place out here under a tent, out to the edge of town, that He could be born here. That He could start a work in the Bahamian area. And Christ is here tonight. And Christ has been born here tonight in the Bahama Islands. And there will be some, that as to the membership of Christ, that will project holiness and godliness in body, soul and spirit and they'll stand for God and there will be a war in heaven. These islands are like a heavenly place. And there will be a clash in heaven but they that belong to Christ, as to a child of God, they will win out and they will eventually put the other down. Not overnight, but it will come to pass even the way that we said. All right. So we're going to sing a little chorus here tonight. Sing a little chorus together. Do you love the Lord? God is so good. He is always with us. (Singing.) Sing that with us tonight. (Singing.) Let's sing this little chorus together. (Singing.) Can you sing with me? (Singing.) Sing it with us, now. (Singing.) Sing the chorus again. (Singing.) Can you see the gospel light? Can you see the light shining tonight? The understanding of Almighty God? God is the great light. He is the great light. He is life. He is spirit. He is quickening. God is the great light. While we're singing this chorus the altars are open tonight. If you'd like to come, we're going to take a few minutes. (Singing.) One more time together. (Singing.) If you'd like to come step out tonight. If you have not made things right with God then tonight is the night. If you'd like to renew your covenant with God because you feel that you haven't done what you should have done, haven't done the things that God wanted you to do now is the time to confess, confess in your heart and acknowledge the truth and step out tonight and say, Oh, God! I didn't understand but I do understand now. I once was blind but now I see. (Singing.) It is a light. (Singing.) It's the lights of home. (Singing.) Let's sing another little chorus or two tonight, take a few minutes as they gather around the altar to seek. Some tonight need Christ. Give me another key, Sister. (Singing.) Give me plenty of volume, Chuck. (Singing.) Help me, David. (Singing.) I want my ministers to come and stand with us tonight. Can my ministers come and stand with me tonight. (Singing.) You say, Why do you want the ministers, Brother Pike? Because I want the people of the islands, or wherever we go, to see the ministers that stand for the Word of God. And when they have a problem and they're oppressed and pressed down they'll know where to turn to. Can my ministers come and stand with me tonight? The Lord bless you. The Lord bless you, my Brother. Where are my ministers tonight? (Singing.) One more time. (Singing.) Can you give Him a hand clap? Can you clap your hands? Can you worship the Lord? Do you believe it's over? Do you believe it's finished? Someone would say, Brother Pike, do you mean it's finished? Jesus said, Father. He said, Father. Father, it is finished. I've finished it. Glory to God! You don't have to do nothing. He said, I've finished it. And they said, What must we do to work the works of God? I am the works of God, He said, I've finished it. I've finished it. Do you believe God finished it? Do you believe God finished it? Lift your hands up and worship God if you believe God finished it. Give Him a wave offering tonight. If you believe Christ finished it. I am the author of your faith. I am the finisher of your faith. God finished it. Hallelujah! You can't add to it and you can't take away from it. All you have to do is believe it. Do you believe it tonight? Do you believe it tonight? Do you believe you are the sons of God? Do you believe God hath perfected you forever. If you believe you are perfect forever act like it tonight. Act like perfect people tonight. If you believe you're glorified people act like glorified people tonight. Worship the Lord tonight. God is a spirit. God inhabits the praise of His people. Can you worship God tonight? (Singing.) Glory to God. Hallelujah! Somebody told me the other night, said, I had a vision of you and said, Brother Pike, you were sitting on a throne. And said, You had a crown. Isn't that wonderful? Said, You had a long robe on sitting on a throne. And said, Sister Betty had a long robe on and she had a crown. Somebody say hallelujah! Hallelujah! I believe I've got a crown. Oh, somebody said, but you couldn't believe that. But Paul said, From henceforth there's a crown laid up for me. Not only for me but everyone that doeth the will of God. Hallelujah! And every jewel that I can gather will be a light of the bright brilliance in my crown of life. God has crowned my soul with life. Is there anybody here that's received a crown of life? Has God crowned your soul with life? Have you won any jewels? Have you collected any jewels that they might be jewels in your crown of life during that eternal time with God? Have you? Have you? Folks, let's come to life. Let's come to life. It ain't cold under here. And it ain't late. Paul preached until midnight. We haven't even gotten anywhere near midnight yet. We're just getting started. Moses was eighty days with God. And Paul was over three years with God. Somebody say hallelujah! I said, let's take a little time to be holy. Let's take a little time to be holy. Are you holy tonight? Are you crowned? (Singing.) One more time. (Singing.) Somebody say hallelujah! We're going to sing another chorus or two. I think we ought to sing another chorus or two. I think I've done run out of water. All right. So we're going to sing another chorus or two and worship the Lord a few minutes tonight. This is the last night of the three nights meeting and we'll be catching the plane tomorrow. Be lifting off to go back to Little Bethlehem where we are actively engaged in world evangelism, hurling the gospel around the world to the best of our ability through the radio, through the television, through crusades and through the printed page as they roll the presses back home and the ladies work diligently to get out the gospel. This gospel going into all the world. We are now in about every major language in the world, or more than every major language in the world. And getting reports so beautifully until it's almost unreal. And I mean getting it with a regularity from all different parts of the world. And when the gospel has gone into all the world for a witness then shall the end come. When the gospel has been preached to every creature then shall the end come. Are you alive forever more? Are you resurrected from the dead? Or are you just planning to get there someday? How many people have we got here that is alive forever more? Resurrected from the dead? Hallelujah! Do you believe in the resurrection? Do you believe in the resurrection? Mary and Martha said, And someday, someday. Jesus said, This is the day. This is the day. Are you here? And someday I know that my brother shall live again in the resurrection. Jesus said, Mary, Martha, I am the resurrection. I am the resurrection. Oh, no! somebody said. But you told me you are the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Where is the resurrection tonight? Have you been resurrecting anybody lately? Have you been resurrecting anybody lately? Do you really believe you are the resurrection? If you do let's come out of the graves. Come on, folks. I had a vision when I went over the graves and it was at the midnight when I went over the graves and I called to them and I said, Folks, come out of the graves. And they didn't come out of the graves. And I was flying on through the night and I said. Come out of the graves! And I did that about two to three times and that last time I screamed like an eagle and I said, I said come out of them graves! And they popped up like popcorn and the graves flew open and they begin to come out. Folks, I'm telling you, come out of your graves. It's the midnight hour. Come out of them graves. Come on out of the graves, now! Let's make this thing manifest. Come out of them graves! It's time for the resurrection and the life! Hallelujah! You've conquered death. You're not going to conquer death. You've already conquered death. Somebody say hallelujah! I don't know what happened to this P.A. system up here. It's gone wild. Something don't sound right at all. But you can still holler. Somebody say hallelujah! Hallelujah! You are the resurrection. You are the life. You are the light of the world. Hallelujah! And God is going to make them come and kneel at your feet and know that He's in you. And He's going to suddenly appear within you and your light will reach to the ends of the world. It's already doing it. It's already doing it. Hallelujah! I just don't feel like you're alive tonight like you need to be. After hearing what you've heard tonight you must not believe what I'm saying tonight. Hallelujah! Somebody say praise the Lord. All right. We're going to sing another little chorus or two if I can get one to come to mind. While we're singing you worship the Lord a little bit. (Singing.) Sing it again. (Singing.) Sing it with me now. (Singing.) One more time. (Singing.) Do you love Him? Let's sing this little chorus. (Singing.) Sing it like this now. (Singing.) One more time. (Singing.) Sing it one more time, now. (Singing.) I want you to lift your hands up now. Something has happened to the P.A. system. Satan has caused the weather to turn off cold. He's tried to interfere with the lights on the first night and he's tried to interfere with the P.A system. And sure enough just at the time we really need it, when we have an altar call, then he starts acting up. But you know what? It doesn't make any difference. In the early church they didn't have a mike and they didn't have a P.A. system but you know what they did have? They had the Holy Ghost. I said they had the Holy Ghost. I said they had the Holy Ghost. I said they had the Holy Ghost. Have you got the Holy Ghost tonight? Have you come to received the Holy Ghost since you believed? If you've not received the Holy Ghost tonight then you need the Holy Ghost. The Bible said the Holy Ghost fell on them while Peter preached the Word. And I felt the Holy Ghost moving tonight. I haven't felt you give away to the Holy Ghost like you should give away to it, but I have felt the Holy Ghost fall here tonight on you. Can you lift up your hands and give way to the Holy Ghost? and get out of that old carnal mind? that old intellectual reasoning? Get out of that old eating and frolicing all day long, get out from under the condemnation. Get out from under playing religion and running around like you do in the way that you do, and get down to business and get that condemnation out so your faith can go up tonight and you can praise God and feel the Holy Ghost tonight? Can you do it tonight? Folks, lift those hands up and let's love the Lord tonight. God is a spirit. He inhabits the praise of His people. He's looking for a place because there was no place for Him in the Inn. And He's looking for a place in the heart of mankind tonight. Do you have a place for Him? Do you have a place? You are making your faith shipwrecked. Many people are making their faith shipwrecked. Did you know that? By doing these frivolous things of the world and going after those natural carnal things, being carnally minded and they're making their faith shipwrecked. And they don't know that when the reality of God comes it's going to scare them so that they are going to cry for the rocks and the mountains. That's right. Somebody says, Oh, it won't bother me. That's like a man that came to me a few days ago. He said, Brother Pike, I died. He said, I died. I just know I died, and said, I found myself in hell. He said, I always took the outlook it didn't bother me that much about dying. He said, But, I'll tell you, I'm different. I'm altogether different. Said, I'll be different for the rest of my life. Another man that had called even from the Bahama Islands that made fun and mocked the people and he told me over the telephone, he said. Brother Pike, I've changed my mind. He said, Because I went into darkness and the flames of hell came up around my body. And said, It made me think different and act different altogether. And have a new look at God, he said. So then, tonight, you that think you are living right, you're going to get the shock of your life. Because I'm telling you, you don't have the Holy Ghost. Somebody says, Brother Pike, are you telling me that? I'm telling you that you don't have the Holy Ghost. The way that you've been living, and the way that you've been doing, and professing Christianity, I acknowledge you are a believer but you don't have the Holy Ghost. And folks, you need to get the Holy Ghost, because at the midnight cry you are going to find out you haven't got the oil. And you're going to find out that God doesn't just reach down and grab people up and take them in the translation just because they say, I love you, Jesus. And everything that says Lord, Lord is not going to be saved. Somebody said, But, Brother Pike, the Bible said He that saith Lord, Lord, everyone that calleth upon the name of the Lord they shall be saved. But the Bible said everyone that saith Lord, Lord won't be saved. But he that doeth the will of God. He that doeth the will of My Father. And this is the will of the Father. This is the Word. And if the Word is in you He's the same yesterday, today and for ever. And He's about His Father's business and He's doing the will of the Father to make Himself manifest in your flesh and if you haven't been acting this way in the flesh then you don't have the Holy Ghost. You might be a believer but you don't have the Holy Ghost, and you need to get the Holy Ghost. Lift your hands up and love the Lord. We're going to let you go in just a few minutes. My people that are here, even those that are from Little Bethlehem, did you know out of all of the people that came here there would be such few of you that have the Holy Ghost that you would be literally shocked? Did you know that? Did you know that if you put all of the church world together tonight there would be so few that has the genuine Holy Ghost, that you'd be shocked? Do you realize that? Oh, no, Brother Pike, we sing, we shout, we speak in tongues, we do all kind of things. That doesn't mean that you have the Holy Ghost. Oh, I know I probably hit a sore spot. Somebody said, When you speak in tongues you...
