26-1012P_FORSAKING ALL PT-4 (GOD PAYS OFF IN THE BOUNTIFUL OF BLESSINGS)

Mar 10:28  Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 

Mar 10:29  And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 

Mar 10:30  But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. 

1Pe 2:21  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 

1Pe 2:22  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 

1Pe 2:23  Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 

1Pe 2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 

Mat 16:24  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 

1Pe 4:13  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 

1Pe 4:14  If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 

* OH, YOU--YOU ALL SHOULD BE EXCEEDINGLY GLAD, HAPPY BECAUSE OF IT, BECAUSE YOU CAN BEAR THE REPROACH OF HIS NAME.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-39    Now. What do I get in return? We don't expect... Sometimes I think we ministers make it a little too much flowers for the--the convert. "Oh, come to Christ. Everything is lovely." But you see, it isn't like that in the way that--saying that everything's a flowery bed of ease, because no Christian...

The Bible said, "All that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." So if--if you're not suffering persecutions for Christ's sake, then there's something wrong. If the devil ain't after you, he's got you. That's all, because as long as he's after you, that's a sign he hasn't got you yet. But if he isn't after you, it's a sign he has got you yet. So just remember, as long as he's a-blasting at you, you're a few jumps ahead of him yet, and just keep on going.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-40    But all that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. He said, "Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad for so persecuted they the prophets which was before you." That's right. Don't go with a hang-down face and say, "Well, I oughtn't to have done it, I guess they--the--I--they... I just can't stand for somebody to talk about me, and say I'm old fashion, I'm this, that, or the other." Oh, you--you all should be exceedingly glad, happy because of it, because you can bear the reproach of His Name. And by keeping His commandments, it caused you to do that.

* HE SAID, "ALL THAT LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST SHALL BEAR A PERSECUTION," THE REPROACH OF THE WORD.

THE.REPROACH.FOR.THE.CAUSE.OF.THE.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-16  SUNDAY_  62-1223

  13-1    Can you remember the disciples returning back and rejoicing because they figured that they were counted worthy to stand the reproach of His Name? He said, "All that live godly in Christ shall bear a persecution," the reproach of the Word.

You always have to stand this reproach in order to give your testing to see. Every man that comes to Christ must first be child-trained for the--for the purpose that God has ordained you for. And remember, if you could just keep quiet... Remember, if He's called you for this, there's nothing that can keep it from happening. There's not enough devils in torment but what God's Word will be made manifest. You're born for a purpose. And nobody can take your place. You might have impersonators and everything else, but they'll never take your place. That's right. God's Word will triumph. It cannot fail.

There's where every Christian ought to stand, knowing that--that... And trials will come up and seem every way to you. But remember, God has a purpose, and it all will work right.

*BUT HE THAT WILL FORSAKE ALL AND FOLLOW HIM, GOD PAYS OFF IN THE BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS OF RICHES.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-59    I belonged to a fine organization, a fine church, one of the best there is in the country. But they said, "Billy, you're going to lose your mind and become a holy-roller."

Right there, I said, "You might as well take my fellowship card right now, because I'm going to follow the Holy Spirit." That's right. True. Then you have to forsake everything (That's right.), to follow Him. But he that will forsake all and follow Him, God pays off in the bountiful blessings of riches. There's--there's nothing to compare with it. All right.

 

* THEY'D FORSAKEN THEIR OCCUPATION TO FOLLOW THE LORD JESUS TO SEE HIS POWER, SEE THE SIGNS.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-60    Now, the disciples forsaken their nets and fish nets full of fish, their occupation. They'd forsaken their occupation to follow the Lord Jesus to see His power, see the signs. Those men were trained men. They knowed what the Messiah was supposed to do. They'd read back in the Bible; they understood just what Messiah was going to do. They knowed it was time for it to happen. And when they seen this Man rise on the scene Who fit the picture, then they were ready to forsake everything to listen to what He had to say; 'cause if it was the Messiah, then it was life for them; because they'd been invited to follow Him. So they'd forsaken everything.

 

*...TO WALK IN THE LIGHT OF GOD. IT LEADS YOU TO THE PROMISED LAND.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-51    He got Palestine, Abraham did--or the--Israel did. He got Palestine for a land. They left the old land down there and got Palestine, a land flowing with milk and honey. Yes, sir. What did they leave? They left the hot sun under the taskmaster down in Egypt.

What did they get for leaving that warm sunshine down there? They got to walk in the Pillar of Fire's light, leaving that hot sun down there to walk in the Light of God's Pillar of Fire, what an exchange. I'd like to take that exchange, wouldn't you? A Pillar of Fire. Walk in the natural sunlight, where they was driving under taskmasters, to come out there and walk in God's Light, under the power of the Holy Spirit, a Pillar of Fire that was leading them to a promised land.

Same thing today: walk out of the light of this world, the things that's of the world, to walk in the light of God. It leads you to the promised land.

 

*GOD'S GOT A HEAVEN FULL OF ANGEL'S FOOD TO FEED YOU.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-52    They also left the old garlic pots of Egypt, flesh pots down in Egypt. What did they get when they forsook them old flesh pots? They got to eat Angel's food, manna come down out of heaven to take the place of garlic. Now, if you have never eaten nothing but garlic, let me tell you something. God's got a heaven full of Angel's food to feed you. That's right. Angel's food, that's what they got instead of that, instead of the old garlic of Egypt.

They left the muddy waters of Egypt. What did they get out there? To drink from the rock that was smitten in the wilderness, of the pure crystal waters of God. They left the old muddy waters of Egypt, the old denominational upside down muddy waters.

Mat 6:19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 

Mat 6:20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 

Mat 6:21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 

Mat 6:22  The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 

Mat 6:23  But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 

Mat 6:24  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

Mat 6:25  Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 

Mat 6:26  Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 

Mat 6:27  Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 

Mat 6:28  And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 

Mat 6:29  And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 

Mat 6:30  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 

Mat 6:31  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 

Mat 6:32  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 

Mat 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

 

26-1009A_IN HIS PRESENCE PT-5 (GLORIFIED IN HIS PRESENCE)

Mat 12:38  Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 

Mat 12:39  But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 

Mat 12:40  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 

Mat 12:41  The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 

Mat 12:42  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 

Rom 8:26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 

Rom 8:27  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 

Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

Rom 8:29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 

Rom 8:30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 

Rom 8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 

*...THAT OUGHT TO BE THE THRILL OF THE CHURCH, IS THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; SEEING THE GOD THAT MADE THE PROMISE STANDING AMONG US, FEEL HIS PRESENCE AND SEE HIS WORD...

54    Oh, the greatest pleasure I know of, is to be to pray until I can realize that I'm in the Presence of God, and recognize it. I think that ought to be the thrill of the Church, is the Presence of the Holy Spirit; seeing the God that made the promise standing among us, feel His Presence and see His Word, and see It vindicated. It ought to give faith, to make cripples walk, blind see, deaf hear, dumb speak.

  60      That's the way the church is getting! God has shook every promise in the Bible, before them. Still we just sit and stare, looking. "What? Show me a sign, will you?" And it's going on all the time, right around us. Bringing the Presence of God, it ought to illuminate us. When God made a promise, He stands by that promise. Yes, sir.

*...WE'VE GOT TO RECOGNIZE HIS PRESENCE. AND NOW HOW YOU RECOGNIZE HIS PRESENCE, IS WHEN THE PROMISED WORD FOR THIS AGE IS MADE MANIFEST...

THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_  TOPEKA.KS  V-20 N-2  THURSDAY_  64-0618

  76      If we could only do that tonight, people! If we could only realize that He is appearing to us in these meetings, for one purpose, that's, to release our desires that we have in Him, to us. But we've got to recognize His Presence. And now how you recognize His Presence, is when the promised Word for this age is made manifest, not the promised Word of Moses' age or any other age. Is the promise of the Word for this age!

*GOD, IN ANY AGE, WHEN HE SENT HIS MESSAGE, WHICH WAS HIS WORD, AND IDENTIFIED IT TO THAT AGE...

THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_  TOPEKA.KS  V-20 N-2  THURSDAY_  64-0618

133    Peter, Nathan, or Nathanael, rather, and the woman, they recognize it. They, they--they recognized His sign, Messianic sign.

134    Same now as these things I'm saying. Then to this age, Jesus said... Now watch, He is referring back now, telling them of an age. God, in any age, when He sent His Message, which was His Word, and identified It to that age; the people that believed it, it was a great time for them; the people who did not believe It, went into chaos. It's always been.

*...JUST BEFORE THE COMING OF THE RIGHTEOUS ONE, THE GREAT SON OF GOD, GOD SENT AN ANGEL DOWN.

 THE.RESURRECTION.OF.LAZARUS_  EVANSVILLE.IN  SUNDAY_  53-1122

  E-39    .....So God always sends angelic beings to warn the world. He... I believe that there's angelic beings in the earth today, are warning the world of judgment to come ... But anyhow, did you notice, before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, which is a perfect thing of today, God sent Angels down there to call Lot out? Is that true?

THE.RESURRECTION.OF.LAZARUS_  EVANSVILLE.IN  SUNDAY_  53-1122

  E-40    Look, just before the coming of the righteous One, the great Son of God, God sent an Angel down. And that Angel come to a home that was a respected home. If you want Angels to visit your home, be like Zacharias' home. Him and Sarah was living upright before the Lord, keeping all the statutes and all the commandments of the Lord, living in perfect obedience to the Word in the light that they had. And Zacharias, his office was to wave incense, burning incense at the altar while the people were praying. And while he was waving this incense, standing on the right hand side of the altar stood Gabriel, the great Archangel.

Now, Angels can come, but when you hear of Gabriel coming, be ready, something major's on the road. Gabriel announced the first coming of Jesus. And Gabriel will announce the second coming of Jesus. That's right.

*AND JAIRUS, A LITTLE FELLOW UP THERE WITH A DEAD DAUGHTER...BECAUSE HE RECOGNIZED THAT GOD WAS IN CHRIST, AND HIS PRESENCE WAS IN HIS HOUSE.

THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_  TOPEKA.KS  V-20 N-2  THURSDAY_  64-0618

  77      Now we find out He went right on. And Jairus, a little fellow up there with a dead daughter, she, he believed what He said was the Truth. Now remember, he was a priest, and he was forbidden, 'cause it had been strictly told, "anybody that associated with Him would be put out of the synagogue." Well, whether he was put out or whether he wasn't, he was satisfied that God was present in Christ, and that was the Word. And what did it do? It released to him the resurrection power that was in Him; amen, brought forth a girl that was dead, and laid out, because he recognized that God was in Christ, and His Presence was in his house.

*WHEN GOD GOES TO DEALING WITH THE HUMAN HEART, THERE IS NOTHING GOING TO STOP IT.

THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_  TOPEKA.KS  V-20 N-2  THURSDAY_  64-0618

152    But, you see, when God goes to dealing with the human heart, there is nothing going to stop it. Husband, wife, children, pastor, nothing else can stop it when a person is really hungering for God. They're going, anyhow. So she got ready, to make ready.

*HE DWELLS IN HIS WORD, AND HIS WORD COMES INTO YOUR HEART AND SPEAKS ITSELF OUT, AND DECLARE.

THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_  TOPEKA.KS  V-20 N-2  THURSDAY_  64-0618

 173      You know, what's the trouble today, there is people, many people, with the people that's belongs and just go to church and have a creed. See, they've seen so much just false, so much just statues, and so much of big fine buildings. And--and, we, let's not--let's not never get off in that kind of a tantrum. See, God don't dwell in big buildings; He dwells in your heart. See, God don't dwell in intellectual education; He is far from it. He dwells in humility, in your heart.

174    He dwells in His Word, and His Word comes into your heart and speaks Itself out, and declare. He interprets His Own Word through you. He is trying to find somebody He can get a hold of, to show that He is still God. See? And He is, He will do that if He can just get somebody He can speak to. If He can get another woman with a blood issue, He can still speak the same thing. He can still do the same thing, making known, declaring. We're in the Presence of God, not recognize It.

*THEN IN HEAVEN TODAY WE'RE A GLORIFIED IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD RIGHT NOW. I'M JUST PUSHING OUT TO IT.

LORD.SHOW.US.THE.FATHER.AND.IT.SUFFICETH.US_  CHICAGO.IL  MONDAY_  53-0907A

  E-85    What you have to do with the tree, you take the tree and you plant it in the ground, and then you have to water it; and as you water it, it doesn't do nothing but drink, drink, drink. It has to drink more than its portion. And more it drinks the bigger it swells up. It just pushes out limbs. Then it pushes out leaves. Then it pushes out blossoms. Then it pushes out apples. Is that right?

And that's the way a Christian is. We are planted together in Christ Jesus, Who is the inexhaustible Fountain of Life. We're planted in Christ, and we just drink, and drink, and drink, and push out; and everything we have need of for the earthly journey: Divine healing, the power of God, and all these other things is in every individual in here that's received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, for you're planted in Christ. Hallelujah. The Holy Ghost baptism, yes, sir, and everything you have need of for this life's journey, even the rapture is right in you then.

LORD.SHOW.US.THE.FATHER.AND.IT.SUFFICETH.US_  CHICAGO.IL  MONDAY_  53-0907A

  E-86    Don't resent that? That's the truth. The rapture is in us now. I will prove it by the Gospel. "Those who He called He justified, and those who He justified, He hath glorified." Hallelujah. Then in heaven today we're a glorified in the Presence of God right now. I'm just pushing out to it. Amen. Glory. God's in His Word. You believe it? All right.

*HE DON'T CLOWN FOR ANYBODY... IF HE WOULD HAVE SAVED HIMSELF, HE COULDN'T HAVE SAVED OTHERS. HE GAVE HIMSELF SO HE COULD SAVE OTHERS.

THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_  TOPEKA.KS  V-20 N-2  THURSDAY_  64-0618

80    That's that same old devil, the same one said, "If Thou be the Son of God, command these stones to be made bread."

81    The same old devil, when he had His eyes covered up, they hit Him on the head with a stick, and said, "Now," passed the stick, one to the other, and said, "tell us who hit You, and we'll believe You if You're a Prophet." He never. He don't clown for anybody. Yeah.

82      Same one, when He was on the cross, said, "If Thou be the Son of God, come off the cross and prove that You're the Son of God." He could have done it.

83    They paid Him the greatest tribute He ever had, there, but they didn't know it. They said, "He saved others; Himself He can't save." If He would have saved Himself, He couldn't have saved others. He gave Himself so He could save others. See, they didn't recognize the Presence of God. That's all.

84    Now it releases the power to heal, and what? It will release the power to open your eyes to recognize Him, or blind your eyes so you'll never recognize Him. What opens the eyes of one, close the eyes of the unbeliever.

*EVERY BORNED AGAIN CHRISTIAN IS A TESTIMONY TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, A STAR TO REFLECT THE POWER AND HOLINESS OF THE LORD JESUS: TO REFLECT HIM IN HIS LIFE...

THE.GREAT.SHINING.LIGHT_  JEFF.IN  V-24 N-1  SUNDAY_  57-1222

  90    What are we today then? We are stars. Every borned again Christian is a testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ, a star to reflect the power and holiness of the Lord Jesus: to reflect Him in His life, to perfect Him in His speech, to perfect Him in His healing power, to perfect Him in His resurrection, to reflect Him in every way that He was reflected to us by God the Father. We are stars.

Watch. What kind of a star should you be? This Star was not guided by Its own power. It was guided by the celestial powers of Almighty God. And if we're ever going to reflect sinners to Christ, we've got to be guided by the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:1 said, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them that's in Christ, that walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit." If we're going to be a star to reflect the Light of Christ to bring sinners to Him, we've got to be guided by the Holy Spirit. That's right.

  92    And we cannot be an ordinary. We have to be unusual. We cannot be usual, because God's people are a peculiar people. They've been through the ages.

Although peculiar, yet the Star was brilliant, not brilliant in world's educational, world's affair, but brilliant as sacrifice before the Lord. We prostrate ourselves, as the Magis did in the Presence of the King of kings, to reflect His Light.

*...WE'VE GOT TO RECOGNIZE HIS PRESENCE. AND NOW HOW YOU RECOGNIZE HIS PRESENCE, IS WHEN THE PROMISED WORD FOR THIS AGE IS MADE MANIFEST,...

THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_  TOPEKA.KS  V-20 N-2  THURSDAY_  64-0618

  76      If we could only do that tonight, people! If we could only realize that He is appearing to us in these meetings, for one purpose, that's, to release our desires that we have in Him, to us. But we've got to recognize His Presence. And now how you recognize His Presence, is when the promised Word for this age is made manifest, not the promised Word of Moses' age or any other age. Is the promise of the Word for this age!

Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

Rom 8:29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 

Rom 8:30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 

Rom 8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 

Rom 8:32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 

Rom 8:33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 

Rom 8:34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 

Rom 8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

Rom 8:36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 

Rom 8:37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 

Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 

Rom 8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Mar 10:28  Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 

Mar 10:29  And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 

Mar 10:30  But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

*IF GOD PROMISED TO GIVE ME THE DESIRE OF MY HEART, AND THE DESIRE OF MY HEART IS THE RIGHT THING...

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-44    If Divine healing is promised in the Bible, and I’m sick, I’ll stay there till God gives it to me, ’cause it’s a promise. God promised I’d forsake the world, He give me the Holy Ghost, I’ll stay right there till He gives It to me, because He promised it. If God promised to give me the desire of my heart, and the desire of my heart is the right thing, I’ll stay there till God gives it, because it’s a promise. And I’ve forsaken all the world. I want to walk after Him, and He will pay. I know that to be truth. It’s exactly right.

*GOD REQUIRES YOU TO FORSAKE ALL TO FOLLOW HIM; FORSAKE EVERYTHING THAT'S CONTRARY TO HIM AND FOLLOW HIM.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-46    Could you imagine them agreeing... an old man, here, seventy-five years old with a sixty-five-year-old wife saying, "You know what? I met God out here, and He told me I was going to have a baby now by Sarah." Why, the--his doctor friend would've said, "The old man's off at his head." But he'd already bought up the pins, and birdeye, and everything else getting ready for it, because he knew he was going to have it. That's right. Nothing to it. Why? God promised it. Right. And if that bunch of people wanted to laugh at him, and think he'd gone off at his head...

They do every believer that way. All of Abraham's seed has the same thing. That's right. Sometimes your church will even turn you out, your clubs, your--your places you belong to, your fellowships in the neighborhood, your associates. Sometimes your boyfriend or your girlfriend will turn you down. But God requires you to forsake all to follow Him; forsake everything that's contrary to Him and follow Him.

*EVERYTHING THAT'S GOT UNBELIEF IN IT, YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE YOURSELF.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-47    Now, Abraham forsaking his people, what did he get in back of it? What come besides that? He become the father of many nations. God made him the father of many nations. What little he gave up, then look what he become. Jesus said, "He who will forsake... Me will have fathers, mothers," and so forth. Look what Abraham got by forsaking all and following Him. Yes, sir, the father of many nations...

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-48    But first he had to separate himself from all unbelief, and even from his cold, lukewarm, church member brother, Lot. He had to forsake himself for that. Everything that's got unbelief in it, you have to separate yourself. Anything, if it's a creed... If you're in a church, and all you're depending on is a creed, and don't believe the Word, and if the Word's contrary to--the creed's contrary to the Word, you'll have to forsake that. You'll have to forsake everything.

*...FOR THEY FORSOOK THE BOASTING PHYSICIANS TO BE WITH THE GREAT PHYSICIAN.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-54    They left them boasting physicians of Egypt, saying, "We are the smartest men in the world today." They left the boasting physicians to be with the Great Physician. Amen. I'd like to see some physician today carry on like that Great Physician did. Them people was in the wilderness for forty years, and they come out without a feeble one among them. There wasn't a feeble person among them, forty years. There was over two million of the people that come out at that time.

How many babies is borned every night? How many sick? And they did... I'd like to go to Dr. Moses, and look in his satchel, and see what kind of prescription he give them. Wouldn't you like to see that? I imagine there's a lot of doctors would like to look in upon that prescription. Well, I can tell you. I've read it. You want me to tell you what it is? "I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases." That's all he had. That's all he needed, for they forsook the boasting physicians to be with the Great Physician. Yes, sir.

*...THEY FORSOOK THEIR FISH NETS TO WALK WITH HIM...

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-57    ...The disciples, what did they forsake? They had nets, fish nets. They forsook their fish nets to walk with Him, and see His signs and miracles, and His power of being the Messiah. Anybody that wouldn't give up a day's fishing to follow that, there's something wrong. They left their nets full of fish. They started to pull, and had the biggest catch they ever had. And they forsook every bit of it to follow Him, because they believed in their heart that He was Messiah, and they wanted to follow Him to see if the signs would follow Him as Messiah. And they got to see it.

*I'D FORSAKE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD; I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS, TO SEE JESUS CHRIST MANIFEST HIMSELF; ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S MANIFESTED IN MY LIFE

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-58    I'd forsake anything in the world; I don't care what it is, to see Jesus Christ manifest Himself; especially when it's manifested in my life, that I know that I've passed from death unto Life, and I know that He is the Messiah. I know by taking Him at His Word that He has saved me from a life of sin, and I know that the Holy Spirit dwells within me. I see His signs everywhere pointing, that I know that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Forsaking all, I'm willing to forsake anything.

*IT MEANS THAT YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE EVERYTHING BETWEEN YOU AND GOD, AND WALK WITH HIM ALONE.

HEBREWS.CHAPTER.SEVEN.1_  JEFF.IN  HEB  SUNDAY_  57-0915E

  38      And God called Abraham to separate himself from all of his kindreds, and to walk with Him. Brother, sometimes it means leaving a church. It meant that to Paul. He had to leave his church. Meant that to many. Sometimes it means to leave home. Sometimes it means to leave father and mother, and forsake all. I don't mean to say it does every time, but sometimes it does. It means that you've got to take everything between you and God, and walk with Him alone. Oh, that blessed, sweet communion, that fellowship that you have when you separate your thing, selves, from the things of the world and the carnal believers who is making fun of you, and walk alone with Christ!

HEBREWS.CHAPTER.SEVEN.1_  JEFF.IN  HEB  SUNDAY_  57-0915E

  39      How many times that I've thanked God! He said, "I'll give you fathers and mothers in this present world. I'll give you friends and associates. And I'll never leave you, neither will I forsake you. Though the whole world turns its back on you, I'll go with you, to the end of the way."

40    What a blessed privilege, that man has that challenge to follow the Lord Jesus, to separate himself from all his carnal associates, to follow the Lord. And if any person seems not to behave themself rightly, and to present themselves as Christians, but love the carnal things, it's best for you to hunt another partner right away. That's right. And if no one will walk with you, there is One who promised to walk with you. That's, the blessed Lord Jesus, He will walk with you.

* AND I DO THIS SO THAT WE'LL FORSAKE ALL UNBELIEF, AND THE THINGS OF THE WORLD...

LAMB.AND.DOVE_  YAKIMA.WA  FRIDAY_  60-0805

  E-61    I tell you, brethren, sometimes we have to speak against sin; it's not to hurt the person; it's to bring them to recognize, bring them to a spot to recognize. Like our Lord, we don't mean to hurt or be bad; God knows that. That wouldn't--that--never that being my soul, but it's to try to get people to recognize what's going on, what's happening. See? And I do this so that we'll forsake all unbelief, and the things of the world, and come back, and be a real sweet, humble Christian and live for Him.

*..."IF YOU'LL FORSAKE ALL AND FOLLOW ME, I WILL GIVE YOU MOTHERS, FATHERS, BROTHERS, SISTERS AND SO FORTH, AND LIFE ETERNAL."

  E-12    .....And then when I become a minister, I believed that that Word was the Truth. Then I was an outcast in my Baptist church. They said, "You'll be a holy-roller some of these days." So then when I come to find out there was somebody that believed it all like I did, it was just like putting on a glove on a hand. It just fit exactly. So then He said, "If you'll forsake all and follow Me, I will give you mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and so forth, and Life Eternal." So to come among you this way... I love you.

HAVE.NOT.I.SENT.THEE_  PHOENIX.AZ  WEDNESDAY_  62-0124

  E-13    Sometimes I preach pretty rough because I--I see that somebody getting out of line. You see, you're supposed to do that. A real daddy will. Why, he'd shake you and say, "Here, get back here in line," if he's a real true father. So sometimes your pastor has to wade down on something. Just love him that much more, because he's a real father to you (You see?), trying to keep you lined up; because he's watching over your soul, which the Holy Ghost has made him the overseer of the church. And you must always watch that.

Luk 14:25  And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 

Luk 14:26  If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 

Luk 14:27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 

Luk 14:28  For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 

Luk 14:29  Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 

Luk 14:30  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 

Heb 11:23  By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. 
Heb 11:24  By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 
Heb 11:25  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 
Heb 11:26  Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 
Heb 11:27  By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Mat 12:38  Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 

Mat 12:39  But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 

Mat 12:40  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 

Mat 12:41  The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 

Mat 12:42  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 

Luk 17:26  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 

Luk 17:27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 

Luk 17:28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 

Luk 17:29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 

Luk 17:30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 

Luk 17:31  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 

Luk 17:32  Remember Lot's wife. 

Luk 17:33  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 

Luk 17:34  I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 

Luk 17:35  Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Ecc 12:11  The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 

Gen 6:1  And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 

Gen 6:2  That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 

Gen 6:3  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 

Gen 6:4  There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 

Gen 6:5  And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 

Gen 6:6  And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 

Gen 6:7  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 

Gen 6:8  But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 

Gen 6:9  These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 

Gen 6:10  And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 

Gen 6:11  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 

Gen 6:12  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 

Gen 6:13  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 

Gen 6:14  Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 

Gen 6:15  And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 

Gen 6:16  A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 

Gen 6:17  And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. 

Gen 6:18  But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 

Gen 6:19  And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 

Gen 6:20  Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 

Gen 6:21  And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 

Gen 6:22  Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. 

Gen 7:1  And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 

Gen 7:2  Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 

Gen 7:3  Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 

Gen 7:4  For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. 

Gen 7:5  And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 

Gen 7:6  And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 

Gen 7:7  And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 

Gen 7:8  Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 

Gen 7:9  There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 

Gen 7:10  And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 

Gen 7:11  In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 

Gen 7:12  And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 

Gen 7:13  In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 

Gen 7:14  They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. 

Gen 7:15  And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 

Gen 7:16  And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 

Gen 7:17  And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 

Gen 7:18  And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 

Gen 7:19  And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 

Gen 7:20  Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 

Gen 7:21  And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 

Gen 7:22  All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 

Gen 7:23  And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 

Gen 7:24  And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Mar 10:28  Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 

Psa 22:4  Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 

Psa 22:5  They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 

Psa 22:6  But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 

Psa 22:7  All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 

Psa 22:8  He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 

Psa 22:9  But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 

Psa 22:10  I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. 

Psa 22:11  Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 

Psa 22:12  Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 

Psa 22:13  They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 

Psa 22:14  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 

Psa 22:15  My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 

Psa 22:16  For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 

Psa 22:17  I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 

Psa 22:18  They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 

Psa 22:19  But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 

Psa 119:86  All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 

Psa 119:87  They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. 

Psa 119:88  Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. 

Psa 119:89  LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

*BUT GOD REQUIRES YOU TO FORSAKE ALL, TO FOLLOW HIM. 

100 Could you imagine them agreeing? An old man here, seventy-five years old, with a sixty-five-year-old wife, saying, “You know what? I met God out here and He told me I was going to have a—a—a baby now, by Sarah.”

101 Why, they, his doctor friend, would have said, “The old man is off at his head.” But he had already bought up the pins and birdeye, and everything else, getting ready for it, because he knew he was going to have it. That’s right. Nothing to it. Why? God promised it. Right.

102 And if that bunch of people wanted to laugh at him and think he had gone off at his head, they do every believer that way. All of Abraham’s Seed has the same thing. That’s right. Sometime your church will even turn you out, your clubs, your—your places you belong to, your fellowships in the neighborhood, your associates. Sometimes your boyfriend or your girlfriend will turn you down. But God requires you to forsake all, to follow Him. Forsake

E-47    Now, Abraham forsaking his people, what did he get in back of it? What come besides that? He become the father of many nations. God made him the father of many nations. What little he gave up, then look what he become. Jesus said, "He who will forsake... Me will have fathers, mothers," and so forth. Look what Abraham got by forsaking all and following Him. Yes, sir, the father of many nations...

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-48    But first he had to separate himself from all unbelief, and even from his cold, lukewarm, church member brother, Lot. He had to forsake himself for that. Everything that's got unbelief in it, you have to separate yourself. Anything, if it's a creed... If you're in a church, and all you're depending on is a creed, and don't believe the Word, and if the Word's contrary to--the creed's contrary to the Word, you'll have to forsake that. You'll have to forsake everything.

105 Everything that’s got unbelief in it, you have to separate yourself; anything, if it’s a creed, if you’re in a church, and all you’re depending on is a creed, and don’t believe the Word, and if the Word is contrary to…The creed is contrary to the Word, you’ll have to forsake that. You’ll have to forsake everything.

* AND GOD NEVER DID BLESS ABRAHAM UNTIL HE TOTALLY OBEYED HIM.

FORSAKING.ALL_  TEMPE.AZ  TUESDAY_  62-0123

  E-49    And God never did bless Abraham until he totally obeyed Him. Abraham wanted to take his daddy along. And the old man was a fly in the ointment all the time. Finally he died. Then Lot, there was strife and everything. And then, as soon as Abraham fully obeyed God and separated himself, and let Lot go on down there in the good lands, wherever he wanted to go, down in Sodom, then God appeared to Abraham, and said, "Lift up your eyes. I give the whole thing to you."

Abraham was the one who separated. He was the one who separated all to follow--to follow God. And he is the father of faith. He is the one that we believe to be the faithful one. The promise was made to Abraham and his seed. We being dead in Christ are Abraham's seed, heirs with Him according to the promise.

*FORSAKING ALL, WHAT DO I GET?”

62-0123 — Forsaking All 

82 “But,” you say, “what do I get then, forsaking all? Forsaking all, what do I get?”

83 You can expect the world to make fun of you. You can expect the world to call you all kinds of unhonorable names. They’ll call you anything that they can call you. You’ll be despised and rejected.

84 Jesus, because of Him being Emmanuel, God dwelling in Him, it made Him so odd to His own church till His own church excommunicated Him as soon as He come in. They was the one who hung Him on the cross. They was the one who condemned Him. He loved people. His whole heart was for people. But He had to forsake everything, in order to follow God.

85 And so do we have to forsake everything, in order to follow God.

*I THINK THAT’S WHAT CHRISTIANS OUGHT TO DO TONIGHT. FIND OUT WHAT YOU’VE GOT.

62-0123 — Forsaking All 

96 I think that’s what Christians ought to do tonight. Find out what you’ve got. If something gets just a little high up, that I can’t reach it, I’ll get me a stepladder and climb up to it. And if something seems a little out of reach, in the Bible, that God has promised, I’ll stay on my knees and climb Jacob’s ladder till I reach it, ’cause it’s mine. God gave it to me.

*IF GOD PROMISED TO GIVE ME THE DESIRE OF MY HEART, AND THE DESIRE OF MY HEART IS THE RIGHT THING...

62-0123 — Forsaking All 

97 If Divine healing is promised in the Bible, and I’m sick, I’ll stay there till God gives it to me, ’cause it’s a promise. God promised I’d forsake the world, He give me the Holy Ghost, I’ll stay right there till He gives It to me, because He promised it. If God promised to give me the desire of my heart, and the desire of my heart is the right thing, I’ll stay there till God gives it, because it’s a promise. And I’ve forsaken all the world. I want to walk after Him, and He will pay. I know that to be truth. It’s exactly right.

everything that’s contrary to Him, and follow Him.

2Co 4:6  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
