Thy Kingdom Is Come

Somebody say hallelujah! You know, we sing that song, The move is on, my Lord, the move is on. When I hear the rustling in the mulberry trees the move is on. We used to sing a little song, What kind of man Jesus is. What kind of man is Jesus? So many little choruses that we sing, you know, from time to time praising the Lord, just worshipping and trying to stay within the mind of the Spirit and like John was on the Lord's day be in the spirit. How many of you know this is the Lord's day? Have you ever entered into the spirit on the Lord's day? This is the Lord's day. The Bible said seeing that three million people, or there about, came out of Egypt and they were promised a rest and could not go in to the rest because they murmured against Moses. The Bible said God swear within His wrath they would not enter into His rest because they murmured against His man Moses, therefore there remaineth a rest for God's people that some should enter into that rest. Therefore, fear lest ye seem to come short of entering into that rest because that rest is still for God's people. And, you know, like I ministered this morning, they that have entered into the rest of God they've ceased from their own works. A lot of people are trying to enter in by their own works but Jesus said the Father doeth the work. And when we come to the place to where we realize that God is the spirit within us that doeth the works then we begin to enter into a rest. And instead of struggling and afraid we're going to slip back, afraid that we're going to lose out, afraid that God isn't going to save us and having a fearful heart, letting our heart be afraid, we 'd just relax in the Lord saying, The Bible said let not your heart be afraid. Don't fear; just have faith now. Jesus said just believe, that's all. If you're weak be strong. Let the weak say I'm strong and be strong in the power of My might. So then, the Lord tells us just to go on and when you've done all that you can to stand just well stand anyway. You know, you say, Well, I've just done all I can to stand. There just ain't no way I just  Go on anyway. Just say hallelujah, I'm standing anyway because he stood and I am what he made me to be and my strength is in Him. Can you say that? Somebody say hallelujah! Hallelujah! Do you feel strong? Do you feel strong in the power of God's might? Let me see! Let me see! Can you say hallelujah! Glory to God! Hasn't He made you strong? Somebody said, My prayer didn't get through. Well, don't feel bad Jesus said, I prayed for you. Do you think His prayer got through? Do you think God heard His prayer? He said, Father, I not only pray for these but all that believe on them through their preaching. Do you believe on them? Somebody say hallelujah! Praise God. Everything's going to be all right. Do you believe it is? All right. Praise the Lord. You can be seated. If we get a little excited just bear with us. This is an exciting thing. It's a venture out into faith and it is such a great wonderful adventurous thing until, you know, there is just no end to it. His mercies are new everyday and God is always doing something beautiful and wonderful and you're the recipients of it. You are God's workmanship in Christ. I say this a lot of times to the different one, that you are God's workmanship in Christ. Remember that. You are God's workmanship in Christ. Now someone would say, Well, what do you mean by that, Brother Pike? Well, it means that whatever He wrought in Christ, as His work, then it is accredited to you and whatever Christ Jesus is so are you in Him. And whatever God made Him to be then that's what you turned out to be. And today you are now His workmanship in Christ, predestinated in Christ and you are without fault that He hath perfected forever. You are they that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore when God perfected that body and offered that body up and received that body into glory that meant that you were a finished product. You were perfected forever. You were hid in glory and are still those that sit and rejoice in heaven. So He said rejoice forevermore ye that dwell in heaven for ye are they that dwell in heaven. For I have translated you into heaven, into the kingdom of heaven and into the marvelous kingdom of our God. And the Bible said the law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom has been preached. This morning I wanted to comment just a little bit on that and I think I will. So then, we say the law and the prophets were until John. This morning we kept kind of orbiting around a little thing that we call the middle wall of partition. And we kept speaking of the shedding of blood, as to the remission of sin. Why there had to be the shedding of blood if we were going to have sins remitted and we tried to explain the reason for that was that the life is in the blood and the life has been perverted and because the life has been perverted then that means that you have to take all the blood out and that way you get rid of all the life. And when you get rid of all the life then you got rid of the devil. You got rid of all the wrong because if there's no life then there is no devil. So then God had to take it all out. And when He took it all out then he brought a new blood cell. And in bringing the new blood cell He incorporated you in that spirit that created that new blood cell and you entered into that new blood cell and that new life entered into you and that spirit has re-created you a new and made your blood royal blood that flows through your veins and now you are a new creature in Christ and because your life, as to your spirit has produced your blood that would produce your genetics. Now this heavenly treasure as Christ's spirit within your blood stream has changed your blood to Christ's blood, eradicated the impurities, drove the devil out, casting the devil out of heaven and putting the kingdom of God, as to heaven, within you. And therefore casting the world out of you because the world was in you and putting heaven within you and your spirit within heaven. And now then that light emanates from the Spirit of Christ within you through your royal blood stream and now is made manifest in your mortal genes that you may shine as a brilliance of the brightness of the sun within your strength. So wisdom maketh a man's face to shine. So then, tonight when we speak about these things we are speaking about not as something that's in the past, nor something that is in the future. I'm not telling you of something in the past or something in the future when I go to tell you about the kingdom. Now, I've told you of things that are in the past. I've told you about things in the future, and we do tell you those things. But now we're not talking about something in the future and something in the past when we say the kingdom of God. You know, somebody would say, Well, the kingdom of God is coming. And this morning we kept elaborating a little bit as to the Jews coming and establishing the kingdom and correcting the perversion of the law and all of these things that have had people in captivity for many years by the powers of the ecclesia of the world and the intellectual technology, or technicalities of the world. So then, now. Laying aside the tree of knowledge and taking on the mind of Christ, bringing forth as to Calvary from that time on. And when I say from Calvary it is from Calvary on and yet this is wrought in Christ before the world ever was and was given to us in Christ before the world ever was and brought to light at Calvary. Or by the rent veil made known to us through a power to comprehend the height, the depth, the width and the length of this great wonderful thing by the mind of Christ. Now, in this I say to you, now at the present time, Calvary. And yet how can I say Calvary to you when there is two thousand years, almost two thousand years that has lapsed and gone by? Wouldn't that be the past? See? And how can I say now, Now we're at Calvary and this great wonderful event is taking place. See? How can the Jews say, Calvary? Shall I then go to Calvary? Is there any other way I can be saved outside of Calvary? Look, there is two thousand years since Calvary when the last week of Daniel comes in. But then when we realize that that last seven years is an earthly prospective that belongs to the four hundred and eighty-three years in the earthly prospective and that has just been separated as an open door and left the four eighty-three two thousand years behind and has to return back and fasten itself to the, the four eighty-three that is, fasten itself to the four eighty-three, coming back that the door is closed. And really it's still Calvary. Just seven years and there is Calvary. So it's not a long ways off at all. It begins immediately, as to four hundred and eighty-three, four hundred and eighty-four. So the last week sets in and there is Calvary to the Jews and immediately at the very first of that week the Lord God of heaven appears in the heavens and the stars begin to fall from heaven immediately following Calvary and the Jews see the blood fresh in His hands. Now when we think about this then I have to say something to you concerning the kingdom, see? For Jesus said pray, Father. Or you pray to the Father, or he said, that is, the Father is going to do something special for you if you pray to the Father at this time in My name. Whatever you ask I'll give it to you. So then, pray to the Father, Father Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on the earth as in heaven. Remember that now. He didn't say pray, Father Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in heaven. He said pray, Father, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on the earth. On the earth. This is what we're dealing with. Father, Thy will be done on the earth. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done. Now He told the Jews to do this just before He went away. And the thought is, Why did He tell the Jews to do that? Because He was fixing to go away. Why did He say pray the kingdom come, Thy will be done? Because He was fixing to go rend the veil. He was fixing to do to Calvary and He knew the very minute that He hang at Calvary the veil would be rent in twain because He was the temple. And He said, Destroy this temple and in three days I'll raise it up. And the Bible said within this temple He made in Himself twain , or two. He made within Himself both Lord and Christ. And He said, I'm going to rend this in two. I'm going to rend the twain in two and separate the Lord and the Christ. I'm going to rend this in twain and when I rend this temple in twain in three days I'll raise it up. And the Bible said though they destroy the temple, three days and I will raise it up, Jesus said. And they understood not that He spake of His body until after the resurrection. Now, so when we think about this then we say, Lord, Thy kingdom come. When you rend the veil in twain what does that mean? He said the kingdom will be here. The kingdom will be here. You don't know it, He could have said, but I'm already the kingdom. I'm the fullness of God. The kingdom of God is within Me. I'm the fullness of God. God loveth Me. He giveth not unto Me the Spirit by measure. I'm the fullness of God and I'm in your midst but through your intellectual brilliance you don't recognize me. You never heard His voice. You've never seen His shape because He was shapen in iniquity and He came in the likeness of sinful flesh. Therefore, they could not see His shape, not unless they saw Him through eyes of understanding. They could not hear His voice because He spoke as to an orientation of the oral expression and all they could hear was the verbal vibrations of the sound of human instrumentality, as to the throat. But the Spirit, they never heard the voice of the Spirit. So then, as the prophet said, Having ears you hear not, having eyes you see not for the eyes of their understanding had never been enlightened so they could not see beyond the veil but Peter did. Peter said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God. And He rent the veil and Jesus said, Here's the key; you've opened the door, as we say, now I'll go to Calvary and the door is open to the Jews and the Gentiles and now because this door is open that means that it's rent in twain, or I've made in Myself both Lord and Christ. Or, I've made in Myself both Moses and Elijah. Or, I've made in Myself twain, both Adams, as to the first fallen Adam, as to the image of iniquity, and the risen, resurrected Adam that will come up out of the mother earth, out of the womb of mother earth. I've made in Myself twain and we're going to split the atom and we're going to listen for the explosion and we're going to see what's going to happen. So then, He rent it in twain and when He did then there came forth two thousand years, two thousand years right there in that part of the four hundred and ninety years that was determined upon the earth to be a complete thing upon the earthly perspective of the Jews. And when He ripped that in twain seven years went two thousand years away. And four eighty-three years went two thousand years the other direction. And then the open door of two thousand years of the church ages, which is called the kingdom age, for then the kingdom had come and we are they that went in through the door and we are they that dwell in heaven. And now as a result of what He did in rending the veil in twain and separating the cherubs to get back to the tree of knowledge looking beyond the cherubs we now see the blood on the seat of atonement, which was that new blood cell that came out of His heart, out of His life, or was between the cherubs of the twain of that whereas within Him was the covenant in that He was the ark and within Him was the covenant, or that which was God, or God being the Word, or the Word of spirit and life on the inside that blood cell within Him that had been formed in Mary's womb that has thus made the body in the image of iniquity so that He could atone for our sins as a near kinsman. Well, in this we see then two thousand years is now upon us. This is a present day truth. The Bible said it's a good thing that the heart be established in the present day truth. Here we are in the present day truth. So we say, Father, Thy kingdom come. You know, I said this a lot of times in preaching, and the Bible said, And the law shall not pass away until every jot and every tittle shall be fulfilled. The law shall not pass until every jot and every tittle shall be fulfilled. So we then say, Folks, let's be patient for the time shall come when God shall let the law pass away after we have fulfilled every jot and tittle, which is on our part a misunderstanding. Because there is no such thing as you fulfilling the law as to every jot and tittle, as to your human side of life. Paul said, I'm blameless touching the law and no flesh shall be justified by the law. Not even Jesus who kept the law could be justified by the law for the Bible said great is godliness for God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, preached unto the Gentiles, see by angels and caught up into heaven. And therefore being our example He had to be justified by faith to be the first brother among many brethren. So then, we realize that the justification is by faith and not by works and we see that when this temple is rent in twain this wonderful blood cell of justification that is on the seat of mercy is shown to us and tells us what God has done for us. And we find out that it is not of works but it's of faith in what He wrought for us in the body of the justification of His Own flesh. Now. When we realize this then we preach again the present day application. Is the law thus fulfilled? Or will the law be fulfilled? Or where do we go with the law? What must we do? The Bible said that if a person go around teaching the law after the first and second admonition, or admonishing, reject them for they are heretics. They are condemned of their own self. They don't know any better than that. Or they know better than to try to be justified by something that's already passed away. Someone would say, But, Brother Pike, has the law passed away? Did not God say that every jot and tittle had to be fulfilled before it could ever pass? Folks, if the law is still in effect then we all are lost. If the law is in effect then we still are lost for everyone that's fallen from grace is under the law. And if the law is still in effect then in your life you have missed grace and that means that you are not dwelling in heaven but you are guilty of the transgression of the law and you are dead in trespasses and sin while you live and you are a heretic trying to keep it for it's written in the twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy that if you attempt to keep one part of the law you are indebted to God to keep all the law. So then, that means that the law either has to have passed away at Calvary or either we are a bunch of heretics here at Bethlehem. So then, when the law was fulfilled Jesus fulfilled every jot and every tittle for it is written, Lo, I come in the volume of the Book to do Thy will, O God. Sacrifices and offerings Thou wouldest not but a body Thou hast prepared me. Therefore, I come. I do Thy will. It's written in the volume of Old Testament, the Book and now I am the volume of the Book. I'm the Word made flesh. I'm the fullness of the Book and what the builders could not do now I become the head of the corner and I do everything that they failed to do. This is the marvelous works of God so that makes me the head of the corner, Jesus said. And this headstone shall come crying grace, grace. And you know, tonight if you could fathom the revelation of what that headstone is and when that headstone came and what place, as to position things, as to the periodics of life, it would be shocking to you to know what has transpired and the marvelous thing that God has already done. So then, we see the law fulfilled, every jot and every tittle. What happened when the law was fulfilled? It passed away. It passed away. Did you know that I had not sinned after the similitude of Adam and I was alive until the law came, Paul said. But the law came and sin revived and I died. Until it came I was alive but the law was a killer to me because sin taking occasion by the law wrought all manner of concupiscence within me. Or that is, it revealed the impurities of my outer man and this body which I commanded to put down, and this thing which I must deny, this thing that will not perform after God. Or this thing that cannot received the things of God. Or this thing that is disobedient to the ways of God; the creature. So then, I find that God had to fulfill the law. Though the law was spiritual, but because I'm carnal, sold unto sin, I find myself dying because God tells me the good things of life. He tells me the good things of life and I find myself dying because before I knew about that I had a confidence that everything was all right. I was going about eating and drinking. I was having a good time, as the world says. I didn't have any condemnation and then all of a sudden something crossed my path and told me about the good things of God and then when I sized it up, as to measure myself by these great measurements that God sent then I just died. I got under condemnation. I realized I was so far from what is right and that I was transgressing everyday, I said, Oh, my God! My God! I am separated thus from life if you're the only form of life. So that which was ordained unto goodness I found to be unto death. Is the law then sinful? God forbid. The law is spiritual. The law is holy. The law is good. But because of my weakness I am sinful. I'm sold unto sin. I'm to blame because of Adam's wrong. And because of Adam's wrong I'm to blame because I am Adam's seed and I am of one blood and that of Adam for God has made all nations of one blood. And Satan in that blood cell and that blood stream, and it's like someone having cancer and passing it on down through their genes from their loins, as to a heritage to that sort of thing. So then, the son has cancer and the daughter has cancer and on down it comes through the blood stream until the day there comes an injection, as to an eradication to start another generation from a seed that doesn't have a contamination, or the disease. So then we see that Jesus did exactly that. He stopped the activity of reproduction that came from the stem of man. And no longer did it come by the means of the matrix and the stem, or the labia and the stem. The new generation did not come like that. The first generation did come like that, as to that of just the average beast and in iniquity did my mother conceive me just like an old beast. But the thing is, now there is a new thing and God by-passed the matrix. He by-passed the stem. He by-passed the exhilaration of human senses and came directly into the womb of Mary. And in this He gave a heavenly inspiration, a quickening from God and the very loins of God, and this came in through a heavenly exhilaration. And because of that a divine conception and a new blood cell came forth and this blood cell was the cell of new life, a new blood. And in that the life is in the blood this quickening that goes into your blood cell through the exhilaration of human relation, all of a sudden here's a godly relation and the great exhilaration of the quickening went in and now we are a quickening spirit. And He was the first brother among many brethren and He became the conqueror of death and became the prince of life and now we are alive forever more because we are now not of Adam, as to the life from the stem and from the blood cell of death and the inspiration of lust, or human desire. For the Bible said He was not begotten of the will of men, as to the desire of men and women, but He was begotten of the will of God, as to the inspiration and desire of Almighty God. So here we are. The body of the Lord Jesus Christ, members in particular, bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, having passed from death, as to that body of Adam. As in Adam all die. Having passed from the death unto life and the sentence of death that was in that body we passed from that and now we are in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ where there is no death. For the Bible said, Seeing that there was no corruption in Him He suffered not His Holy One to see corruption nor His soul to remain in hell. That is, death could have no power over Him because there was no sin. Therefore, shall my flesh rest in hope, David said, and now I am the child of the resurrection for we are accounted for as the children of the resurrection. When the Pharisees tried to cross Jesus up in His teachings and they wanted to know who that the woman would belong to in the resurrection because of having so many husbands He said, You do err not knowing the Scripture, for in heaven they do neither marry nor are given in marriage but are as the angels. You are spirits. You are quickening spirits. In the spirit there is neither male nor female, as to your inner person. There is only male and female to the outer person, as to the beastly part of you and God has rent that veil in twain and taken that which is not beastly, that which is godly, that inner angelic being and He has separated that as to the spiritual world that you might dwell in heaven as the angelic spirit and that the body might be planted in the dust, as from the dust back to the dust and to the crucifixional thing that God has done through the image by smiting that contrary image at Calvary and remembering no more those former things of your wrong. Therefore, by faith of this inner man, Paul said, by the law of faith, inwardly, then I am free from the law of sin and death. I see the law of sin and death working in my members and binding me and causing me to serve the law of sin and death. I, therefore, with my body do serve the law of sin and death. I am guilty. I confess that I am guilty because of the transgressions of Adam, he said, but this inner faith in Christ as a confidence in what God wrought for me by Christ as God's workmanship in Christ I am thus free from the law of sin and death. And I am now free from condemnation for there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walked not after the flesh but after the Spirit. That is, they don't walk after the flesh. They can't walk after the flesh because they are dead to the flesh by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and they are alive now forever more to the Spirit. Being a quickening spirit, therefore, death is passed away. Or they've passed from death unto life or from that body of death unto this life by the rending of the veil. All right. So then, we realize that what God has done for us and we therefore know that the first man Adam is now dead. Your first birth, as to what you are, you are accounted for as dead. Reckon yourselves then to be dead indeed unto sin, buried, killed by Calvary, smitten by God as the bastard child image, planted in a watery grave, having been baptized into Christ you have put on Christ and now you are bone of His bone of and flesh of His flesh. You'll never enter into condemnation for there is never no more condemnation to you because you cannot transgress the law. This is why that we teach that a man that is born of God, or a woman that is born of God cannot sin. For sin is the transgression of the law (Begin tape one, side two.) ....and not of the law and not of works of himself but it is the gift of God, as David said and I repeat it again. Blessed is the man unto whom God will not impute sin. There are people in the world that God will not impute sin unto. And blessed is the man unto whom God has imputed faith for righteousness even the faith of Jesus Christ which is the righteousness of God, contending for that faith. Therefore, now we are passed from death unto life because we cannot transgress the law because there is no law to transgress and besides that we are dead to the law by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and now the law has been fulfilled within us by the spirit of Christ that fulfilled it in Jesus. That spirit of fulfillment having been accredited to us now we are God's workmanship in Christ and that Christ Spirit hath given us now the fulfilling of the law within and Paul had this dispute with the Jews saying, If these that do not have a natural law fulfilled the law, their thoughts being, as to the meanwhile, excusing or accusing one another, aren't they justified by the grace, as this that within them is keeping the law, as to a conscience, rather than they that had have a natural law and transgress the natural law. Who then is justified? Paul said. So we see the real true Israelite and the real true Jew are those that are inwardly Jews, or the spiritual Jew. So then, that means that the law has been fulfilled, every jot and tittle. It is now passed away. There is now no more condemnation. That means that you can never transgress the law again because there is no law to transgress. That means if you cannot transgress the law then you cannot sin because there is no sin if there is no law, because sin is the transgression of the law and where there is no law there is no transgression and where there is no transgression there is no sin. And where there is no sin there is no death because the sting of death is sin, which is the transgression of the law. And if there is no law then there is no sting of death. That means that we've passed from death unto life and we say then, Grave, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? There is no sting. Jesus took it out. Does the grave then have a victory? There ain't no grave going to hold this body down. My flesh shall rest in hope. Shall I then dread to die? Or shall I look forward to dying? Or shall I look forward to transformation of the mind like Enoch who walked with God for three hundred years and was not for God took him because they didn't need to have a funeral at that time for Enoch. So, is this what we're looking forward to? It is. It is the kingdom age. So Jesus said, Father, Thy kingdom come. Then He said, Folks, the law and the prophets were until John. The law and the prophets were until John. He was preaching to them while He walked the earth. He said, The law and the prophets were until John, since that time the kingdom has been here. I'm the kingdom, He could have said. And when I rend this veil the kingdom of God is thus here in your midst for I am the light of the world and when I go away I'm going to severally divide My spiritual light, as to God, by measure to you and you're going to, collectively speaking, be the light of the world. And the whole world will come to your shining from the ends of the earth and fall at your feet and acknowledge that God is in you of a truth, for thou art my temple. And as John saw the temple of the city of New Jerusalem, those stones founded upon the foundation of the apostolic teaching. The Bible said her light was most precious, like that of a Jasper stone, or the radiation of that as the sun shining within the strength. descending out of heaven. He said you didn't come from the earth. You didn't come from the dust. You're my body, my bone and my flesh. I came from heaven and I go back to heaven. That means that you are not of this world, even as I'm not of this world. You were in the foreknowledge of God and because you are elect according to foreknowledge you came from heaven, therefore you go back to heaven. And someone would say, But, Brother Pike, when will we go back to heaven? Haven't you gone back to heaven? Isn't there anybody here that is dwelling in heaven? Is there anybody here that dwells in heaven? Why did Jesus say, Ye are they that dwell in heaven? Why is it the Bible said God has translated you into the kingdom of heaven? Why it is He says you are not in the flesh any longer? When a man dies and his body goes into the grave doesn't his spirit transcend into another world? Into the spirit world and isn't the spirit world heaven? Are you then alive in the flesh, or are you dead in the flesh? Where then are you dwelling today? Who are you today? Are you then in heaven? Are you then equal with the angels? If you're not equal to the angels and if you don't dwell in heaven why is it that you don't die? Won't you have to die? Because if you're not equal with the angels then won't you have to die? Someone would say, But, Brother Pike, you know you've got to die. You know they're going to have a funeral. They're going to put us in a box. Is that death? Is that death? There is no way that you can die when you are a Christian. To die you have to sin. That's impossible. You could never sin. That's impossible for you to die because you have to sin to die. Therefore, that means that death is not when your spirit separates from your body. That is a sleep, but when your spirit separates from God's spirit through sin that is death. That is eternal separation and annihilation. That is a separation from God. So then, you cannot die and God not only has brought you to where you cannot die but Paul said, I want to show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep. We're going to keep on learning and understanding and going on in the transformation of mind as a people, collectively speaking, until we come to a certain period of life to where we have absorbed, as to a diplomacy, and then this body isn't even going to be put in the grave because is death a friend to God? Or is death an enemy to God? Does God have any pleasure in death? He said, not even of the wicked. I'd rather that they'd repent of their sins and be saved. So then, is it God's pleasure for you to die? David of old said, I can't praise God in the grave. I can praise God while I'm living. Is it God's pleasure for you to praise God or lay in the grave dead and rot that the worms might eat you? So then, God has no pleasure in death. Why do you look forward to death? Why do you always dread death? Why do you fear death? For the Bible teaches that if we've passed from death unto life then we have the perfect love of God and he that feareth death is not made perfect in love. That is, God is the Word and he doesn't understand the Word. He hasn't proper faith in the Word. So then, what am I saying? I'm saying, Lord, Thy kingdom came. You said, Thy kingdom come. Now I'm saying, Thy kingdom came, Lord. Thy kingdom came. Fear not, little flock, it is thy Father's good will to give you the kingdom. It is His pleasure to give you the kingdom. Did He fulfill His pleasure? Was all things made for Him and for His pleasure? Did you receive the kingdom? I received the kingdom. The law and the prophets until John, since that time the kingdom has been preached and men press their way into the kingdom. Have you been translated into the kingdom? Do you have the kingdom? I want to give you the kingdom. Have you received the kingdom? What is the kingdom? It's the Spirit of Christ. All things come from Christ. He is all things. Without Him there is nothing. All tangible things, all forms of matter, all acts of creation emanate from the Word Christ who is God. And He is God's abundant treasure chest. He is the abundance of life, the Prince of Life. He is the kingdom of God within you. And now your spirit has been translated into the Spirit of Christ and therefore your spirit is interwoven with the kingdom in Christ. Christ who is interwoven with God saying, Father, make these one even as we are one. Or that is, Translate their spirit into My spirit the same way that you translated My spirit into Your spirit and now we're one spirit. Baptized into one spirit by one spirit, as to into this body of Christ, as to into the body, one spirit, and by this we're baptized as a membership to collectively speaking be the temple of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, even the resurrected One who is at the right hand of the heavenly Father. So then, when we see this then we know that we're living in the kingdom age. And they went and preached the kingdom of God and that men should preach for the kingdom of God at last was at hand. Somebody would say, But, Brother Pike, what they were saying was the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, repent. Before it gets here now every body repent because it's close at hand. It's coming, repent. It wasn't that at all. When they said it is at hand it meant it was right there. Don't repent because it's coming. Repent because it's already come. And repent because it's already here. And now repent because you can be translated into the kingdom of God right here in this wonderful kingdom age where Christ Himself sits upon the throne of your heart and the kingdom of heaven is within you. Remember, Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world. If it was then my servants would fight. Someone would say, But, Brother Pike, you're saying the kingdom has come right here in this world. The kingdom of God has come. So then, the kingdom come right here in our world. Oh, no. You went right into His world. For He said you are not of the world; I've chosen you out of the world. And the kingdom of God came because He translated you out of the world into the kingdom of heaven. So the kingdom came because you went into heaven and you became as the angels. And His kingdom is not of this world but it is of heaven. So the Bible said, They shall come from the west and they shall come from the east and they shall sit down in the place of the children of the kingdom and the children of the kingdom shall be cast into outer darkness and there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. What then is meant by that? It means that the Jews were in the kingdom of David and now it's come a time of a cutting off. Now it's the time Jesus will cut them off at Calvary and they will go into the darkness and they will go into the holocaust. And there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth as they're mistreated from Calvary on. And they've certainly gone through it. But they that come as spiritual beings shall be translated into the kingdom of God and the children of the kingdom shall be cast out because the Jews were the children of the kingdom and they were put out of the presence of God. But now your kingdom is not earthly, therefore you cannot be put out of it, but you are translated into the kingdom and from then the kingdom is come; the law and the prophets until John. The kIngdom is now here and men press their way into it as this is the kingdom age and that between the seven years and the four eighty-three is the two thousand years of church age, or the kingdom of God. Now this is the sad part about this. It's not sad, as to the grace of God when I say this, that though you're in the kingdom and the kingdom within you; yet the tare is also in the presence of the outpouring of the Spirit. For the Bible said I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy. So then, all flesh shall see the glory of God. And now, because the blood is on the seat of atonement all human bodies are feeling the blessings of medical aid. They're feeling the blessings of having something to take away pain when they have the tooth ache. They're receiving the blessings of eating and drinking and buying and having jewels and having gold, having monetary values and homes and conveniences and all the luxuries of life. They're receiving this because the rain is upon them and God is looking upon them through the blood. But it won't continue. It's only a dispensational grace and that grace is not there, as to their benefit. It is there to the benefit of the elect of God and God is trying to give that grace until He can get the elect to come out from among them for He's angry with the wicked everyday and will pursue the wicked until they perish from off of the face of the earth. He calls them a generation of vipers. He said their offerings are an abomination in His sight and their prayers are an abomination in His sight. And I will pursue the wicked until they perish and everyone that forgets God I will turn them into hell. It is not like the preachers preach of God being so loving that He's letting a bunch of snakes and vipers live so that they can bite the children. It's that God must keep you alive and because you are still in the flesh, as to before you come out to your new birth, then God by foreknowledge having saved you, is waiting for your hour to bring the last generation in and the last people out from among those generation of vipers, which is an adulterous and sinful generation and a bunch of Sodomites. And God is calling you saying, Come out of her, My people, and be a separate people and touch not the unclean things and I will receive you, saith the Lord, and touch not and taste not and handle not that whereby the soul is to perish, as to the manner of using and the doctrines and commandments of men. So then, the kingdom came, now let His will be done. Are you letting His will be done? Has the kingdom come? If the kingdom is come then like the song that Gracie wrote, They're all looking for Christ to come and they're waiting for His return but the children of God are rejoicing because He has been here all the time. He has already come. How beautiful it was yesterday as we were down here at the little house they call the Father's house. The Bible said after Solomon had built the temple with the many pillars then the train of the Lord filled the temple. Now, I have been thinking the other day, Now, we're coming around to that part and this building down here with all the pillars has to do with that. And the church up here, the temple, this time it has to do with coming out of tabernacle, coming into the temple, getting over the Jordan, as to the carnal mind, which is death and coming into the revelational light, which is the Canaan light that is from day light to day light where the night is expelled when Joshua commanded that the sun should stand still, the sun being the day star. And the Bible said the day star dawning within your heart to where you don't sleep anymore. For, behold, I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep but be changed in the moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump. So the last trump shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise first, because the Bible said that the trump of God shall sound. Lift up thy voice like a trumpet. Ye are the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and the many sounds, as to Joshua, when they marched around the walls the walls crumbled and now it's time, as to collectively speaking as to a group of people, to march around the intellectual walls of the dogmas of today and the intellectual powers of today until these things of the ecclesia of the world crumble and that the spirit of God rises and men in their understanding of the great wonderful knowledge of God possess the city and take over the things of God. For the Bible said the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. When does this happen? It happened at Calvary. When is it denoted? In the last time of Daniel's seventy weeks, or the seven years, or in the middle of the last part of the seventieth week. So then, that means that that time is the coming of the Jews to naturally be reinstated and bring things to their prospective as it should be according to natural ordinances. But, folks, our time is already as to the wonderful spiritual things of God and the kingdom is here and Christ is within you. If the kingdom has come then that means that the King is already come. That means the King is already here. He said to the disciples, I go away but I'll see you again. Don't let your hearts be sad. They're sad because I say that I go away but I say that I will see you again. You see me now and then you shall see me no more and then you shall again see me. And they said, What is He saying? I don't understand what He is saying? Now we see Him and then we won't see Him and then in a little while we will see Him. We don't know what you're saying? So, the Bible said He knew they were desirous to ask Him of that so He turned to them and said, You want to know what I'm talking about? He said, Ye shall see Me. You are sad because I say I go but if I go not the comforter will not come. That is, unless my bodily person, as Jesus, goes away My Christ part, the Christ on the inside will not come back to your body. Because as long as the Christ is in My body He will not come to enter into your body but when I yield My body up for an atonement as to the blood at the right hand of the Father as the blood dipped vesture then according to the measure of Christ that you can receive that of me, as to the life resurrecting from the dead and giving gifts unto men in measures according to their several ability then this will come into your heart. So then, the Christ will come. The comforter will come. And this is Christ. This is Me on the inside doing the work. I will come back to you as the invisible angelic being and the world will not see me, but through the eyes of understanding ye shall be holy and I shall be in you. And My Father and I being one we will come and make our abode with you and we shall dwell in you for you are our temple and ye shall see us through the eyes of understanding. That is, the spiritual eye. So then, the kingdom is come. The will is now to be done within you as in heaven because the kingdom of heaven is within you. And now this kingdom is come and this is the kingdom age and we've entered into the kingdom age and for two thousand years it's been going but your Calvary is only to your generation. You can only come to a Calvary when your generation comes. Now you're in your generation and now it's your Calvary. And now it is your time to enjoy the kingdom of God. Therefore, I preach to you: repent, receive ye the kingdom for the kingdom of God is at hand. As we said when we went down the streets of Dolorosa screaming out down the streets of Jerusalem, the time is at hand now the time is fulfilled. Repent. Receive ye the kingdom of God for the kingdom of God is now at hand. And they preached the kingdom of God and they preached Jesus Christ, the open door as an entrance into this kingdom. For the Bible said there is none other name given under heaven whereby man must be saved and He is the open door for He said, And I saw a door open in heaven as John said. And this door Peter had opened when he brought it to pass that Calvary was to be and the veil was rent in twain and the seven years taken from the four ninety leaving the four eighty-three became an open door as to that between the covering cherubs of those covering cherubs of the curtains that hid the holies of holies. Or the covering cherubs that were over the ark of the covenant where the blood cell, the new blood cell, was placed as when we go to Calvary it shows the tabernacle. It shows the temple. It shows the ark. It shows the covenant. It shows the blood cell and it shows the lamb of the evening time upon the big altar of Calvary, as to the altar where the fire never goes out, as to the blaze of God, where the Bible said and the worm dieth not and the fire is not quench. And it shows the Lord as the High Priest Christ, taking the blood from this Lamb, Jesus Christ, His own body entering into the heavens of heavens and going into the most holy place and taking His own blood and putting it there as He presses between Moses and Elijah or the covering cherubs to put it on the seat of mercy that we might receive this wonderful thing of God. This is why the Bible uses the terms that a tabernacle in the wilderness, as to your intellectual wandering of the old body, this He said and a tabernacle covered with skins. God covered them with skins when they fell. And He said, And this tabernacle Moses pitched. He said, But the true tabernacle, which is in heaven, God hath pitched this. And Peter makes this clear. He makes this clear by saying we have born the image of the earthy, as to the tabernacle in the wilderness. As long as I'm in this tabernacle as an angelic being. He said, I bear this image but now when I put off this tabernacle, for God has shortly showed me I must put off this tabernacle. He said, then I shall bear the image of the heavenly or that wonderful temple in heaven of whose temple ye are because ye dwell in heaven by virtue of His foreknowledge and the finished works of Calvary. Therefore, ye are no longer a tabernacle of wilderness, as an intellectual wandering, where the serpents of evil spirits are biting and tormenting your mind. But ye are the temples of the living God that dwell in heaven with the mind of Christ because your spirit is in the spirit of Christ which is heaven and in the mind and thoughts of Christ which is not a wilderness but a paradise. So then, we see at Calvary the veil is rent in twain and we see two thousand years where this blood is on the seat of atonement. And we see as we're looking here the seven candlesticks. As we look we see the seven church age messengers. As the veil is rent in twain and the seven is taken from the four ninety leaving the four eighty-three we see two thousand years of heavenly perspective and we see the seven church age messengers as the flaming candlesticks of God back there before the throne for the kingdom is come and now the candlesticks are here. And we see the two great candlesticks as those that are on the right and the left of God which is, as to the four eighty-three earthly perspective of Moses the prophet like unto. And then over here, Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet, and the seven years making the nine things concerning Paul's churches that he established. The Bible records the nine. Seven of them as to the candlesticks, as to the church ages and we see then the kingdom of God and here we are before the throne of God as the great candlesticks and we see the light of these in a succession coming, one behind another in a continuity and we see it compounding itself until it comes to be a seven fold light. Whereas, even science speaks of the sun becoming a seven fold light as to the day star. That is to say the day star dawning within us and this thing compounding itself with this wonderful understanding of God and the brilliance of that illumination of that light until it becomes seven fold and then breaks out in the body and the change in the moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump where John saw the end of the church ages and the door open in heaven. And at that point the Revelation of Jesus Christ came in that's called the revelation, or the spirit or heaven to the church. And John being a symbol of the church all of a sudden it became the tribulation to the Jewish people of seven years of tribulation and the church went away. Well, anyway, saying these few little things tonight, scattered remarks, the kingdom of God come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; God translating the church into the kingdom. I say to you so often, the message of translation. I say to you often that it's not given to the world to know the mysteries. Only the preaching of the gospel that they might be guilty as the gospel goes to the ends of the world. For the Bible said, Hath not our words gone unto the ends of the earth, but who hath believed our report. So the faith of the translation was Enoch was translated by faith that he should not see death, the heavens declaring the handiwork and the earth full of the knowledge of God. So, when we think about this then we realize that the kingdom has come. And now we've entered into the kingdom and we are they that dwell in heaven and that God has actually translated the church just like He promised. For the Bible said God hath, already, translated us into the marvelous kingdom of our God and now the transformation of mind is leading us to the change of the body that we might recognize it for it doth not yet appear what we shall be like. But already, beloved, are ye the Sons of God. You have already passed from death unto life. You are already His bone and flesh. You are already they that dwell in heaven. And the thing of the transitional change is the preaching, as to the journey through the wilderness, coming from the blood life of your intellectual concept of that tabernacle of the wilderness in the intellectual wandering. This thing is passing on to get over the Jordan, as to your intellectual, having compassed the Red Sea of the blood life, now then we're moving on across the Jordan that we might enter into that day where the sun never sets. Knowing the revelation and seeing and not going to and fro, as to be in our mind of darkness and intellectual reasoning and gullible desires of the world, one minute as to a hard sleep and then awakening all of a sudden to a light of inspiration that tells us that we are alive forever and the hope of our resurrection. See? Therefore, we do not see what we are like, as to the body, but it is the purchased possession. It is at the right hand of the Father and as soon as we finish our transformation of mind, as to the transology of God then all of a sudden the change, or the quickening, the transfiguration will take place at His coming. Or then I say, our works will be presented and that which we cannot perform in the body God's workman ship Christ, will appear and then we will get credit for it because we have transformated in mind by faith and God will accept that body as your body and your body will thus be the beloved body of the Lord Jesus Christ, changed to by-pass the grave and not sleep at all because God hath no pleasure in death. No pleasure in death. He is the God of the living, not the God of the dead. That's why He said, I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, because I am the God of the living, not the God of the dead. Let's stand together. Just a few little thoughts tonight scattered here and there to try to tell you that the kingdom is come. So, a great thing has been taking place. Now we're at the end of a period of time. America has been the church ages, principally speaking, and now America has come to the end and she's been the carrier of the child called the woman's world. And, therefore, carrying the child now the travail is on and the church is being brought out of that intellectual realm. The child is thus being born and caught up to the throne. If we could stay here tonight and talk with you about the different ones that is in parliament, even the man called Newt and some of the others, we could proportionally show you and step by step position things and show you where the child is and show you the birth of the child and show you the government and the fall of the government and show you the rise of a new government and show you the things that have happened and that right before your eyes and you failed to see them because you haven't seen the spiritual things of God. There it was, God in their midst and they did not see Him. And so it is today with the Gentiles the same as with the Jews. God was in their midst and they saw Him not. Someone would say, That is pathetic, Brother Pike. But is is even more pathetic because today God is in your midst and ye see Him not. For having eyes ye see not and having ears ye hear not lest at anytime ye should hear my voice and convert and I should heal you. But, nevertheless, so it is with you as it has been with them and your houses shall be left unto you desolate until you say blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Let's sing a little chorus together. I don't mean to weary you; I just want to pass on a few little things because you are chargeable to God and you must know. And therefore your blood is upon your own head and it's not on my hands. Said, Watchman of the wall, what of the night? I've set you as a prophet over the nations to pluck up, to plant, to pull down. Now I will require the blood at your hand if you don't warn them. If you do warn them they're not going to listen at you, but nevertheless, is you don't warn them I'll require their blood at your hands. So then, little flock that will listen, little flock that will receive, little flock that is the elect, you cannot receive anything except it be given you of God by foreknowledge. And the Bible said that Paul preached and those that were foreordained unto eternal life believed and the others did not. So then, little flock, it is thy Father's good pleasure for you to have the kingdom. And if the kingdom, which is Christ within you, be there then is He the hope of that (Begin tape two, side one.) glory, as to the change. And with this from glory to glory, through inspiration of the transformating of the mind of the wonderful revelation of the Son of God, even the spirit of revelation that will be in you and you will find yourself moving on a journey from the blood life to the spirit life, or from this natural world to the wonderful world of God. From the natural body to the wonderful spiritual body of our Lord Jesus Christ, from death unto life, from the burial to the resurrection. Let's sing a little chorus together. As we sing these little choruses the altars are open and you're welcome to come. Let's sing I love Him, Frank. (Singing) The altars are open. (Singing) Don't you love Him? (Singing) Sing it with me. (Singing) Do you love Him? While we sing a chorus or two, as I said this morning, the Bible says examine yourselves and see if you be in the faith. Prove these things lest you be found to be a reprobate and find that God is not in you at all, that you are just religious and that God isn't there. If God is on the inside of you then you will have the fruits of the spirit for the tree is known by the fruits and according to the spirit comes the fruits. And if you have the fruits then are ye the trees of God because you have the spirit of holiness and if you have the spirit of holiness then comes the fruits of holiness and the Bible said having your fruits unto holiness then ye have the end thereof everlasting life. But if you have not the spirit of holiness you do not think the thoughts of holiness and you do not think the thoughts of pureness and you are defiled in God's sight and your tree will wither and die, for the Bible said defile the temple and God will destroy it. And so then, people in the day that we're living in are defiling the temple because they are coming to the knowledge of the truth and they're not accepting the truth and therefore, inasmuch as they come to the knowledge of the truth it is required of them. And being required of them then that means that sin is imputed, for where there is no knowledge of sin, sin is not imputed but where there is a knowledge of sin, sin is imputed. And where sin is imputed it's a transgression of the law and thus it is death. So then, they that come to the knowledge of the truth must repent of their sins and receive the spirit of the living God because if they do not receive the spirit of the living God then are they still alive in the body and still transgressors of the law for to fall from grace is to be under the law. And if you do not have the spirit of grace, or the spirit of Christ, then you are a transgressor of the law and guilty of sin and death. But when you come to the knowledge of sin and you know what's right and what's wrong then you receive Christ and thus the law is fulfilled in your life and you cannot transgress the law. Therefore, you cannot fall from grace and then your spirit is sealed until the day of the change, as to the redemption of the body, and then you are saved altogether from sin and from death. So then, sin is imputed once you come to a knowledge and the world has thus come to the knowledge of right and wrong and they're not receiving the spirit of grace. They're not receiving Christ's spirit through the new birth and they're not taking the body to Calvary through self-denial to get away from the intellectual constraint of the world and the powers of Lucifer, as to the rule of the tree of knowledge, and that means that they are guilty. They are after businesses and monetary value. So they are still intellectual in their minds and means they are guilty of darkness and death. While we sing this little chorus again, or sing another little chorus here, then let's worship the Lord. Can we do that? This is camp meeting time and we're starting it on Sunday. That means we'll go right on tomorrow having service. And camp meeting officially starts Tuesday but then being Sunday we start it tonight so we're here to worship God. Tell somebody we're having camp meeting. There are others that are planning to come down to be with us. They've called and told us that they would be here and the different ones wanting to come. And as they come then let's be fired up for God and let's be a testimony for God and do something for God. Is that all right? I told Betty that during the time of this camp meeting that they usually take offerings during the time of camp meeting and that's normal for them to do. The Bible said give of that which you have and behold all things are clean unto you. And we never mess with the offerings but it comes to my mind tonight. I told her, I said, Betty, during this camp meeting instead of trying to take offerings as they have at other times and giving it to evangelist we're going to let them receive the offerings and take this offering and whatever comes in this time we're going to give it to the poor and to the needy altogether by the help of the Lord. Betty reminded me that there were some bills to be paid and we've got to pay some bills and I know that's true, but we're going to take this and we're going give it to the orphans and to the poor and we're going to trust God to take care of our bills. All right. Let's sing a chorus. (Singing) Can you sing that with me? (Singing) Sing it like this now. (Singing) Can you lift your hands and close your eyes tonight? I'm not going to hold you long. I just want to refresh you in the Lord and let you know that the coming of the Lord is at hand. He may call for me, He may call for you at anytime. He may come, collectively, calling for us as the church but everything is ready. Everything is ready. We sing about the marriage supper and we sing about the coming of the Lamb, all these wonderful things about the old time religion and yet do we practice those things? Do we really believe in those things? Do we allow God to get ahold of us and to lead us and to guide us? Do we come to church that we might grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord toward the full measure of this wonderful revelation stature toward life. Or do we just come to church because it is routine and we want to be there? Are we really concerned about our soul and the redemption of this body? Are we trying to do the things that please God? If you do the things that please God then do you assure your heart before God, then do you have confidence that God hears you and whatever you ask of God then do you receive of God because you do the things that please God. Ask what you will and He will do it for He said I'll never leave you and I'll never forsake you but lo, I shall be with you always, even until the end of the world. When the angel of the Lord appeared to me and the Lord came and put the ring on my finger and then I looked and saw the angel standing there and I was told by the Lord, I'll never leave you. I'll never forsake you. I have for you a stone of your birth and I will never leave you; I will never forsake you. But lo, I shall be with thee in the time of trouble and in the time of need. And He said that to everyone for the Bible said, I shall never leave thee nor forsake thee, but lo, I shall be with thee always, even until the end of the world. So the end of the world has come upon you. Peter said, Ye are the people upon whom the ends of the world have come. And at Calvary thus came the ends of the world and today ye are those that are living in the ends of the world. While we sing a little chorus together and worship then I want you to lift your hands up and close your eyes. Can you do that? (Singing) Sing that chorus with me again. (Singing)
