Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
*AND WE SHOULD ALWAYS TRY TO
REFLECT CHRIST IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.

35 Now, we find that Uzziah was called to be king at the age
of about sixteen years old, after his father's death. And his father was a--a
great believer. And he had... His mother also was a very fine woman. And this
young king had been crowned at a young age, and quickly
he taken the road that was right, because of the influence of a godly father
and a godly mother.
36 And I think that's a very fine
example for we parent today, is to set an example before our children. Now, you'll live your--your best and your worst at home. And
I think that our lives... Though the children might not just exactly act like
they're noticing it, but they are noticing it. Don't you never think that they
are not, because they're watching.
37 Not only the children are
watching, but the neighbors are watching. Not only the neighbors are watching,
but the... all that you are associated with, watch you. The people at your
church watch you. The people that you do business with in the markets, they are
watching you, after your confession. And we should
always try to reflect Christ in everything that we do.
*AND THAT DEEP SINCERITY OF
WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US, WE MUST APPROACH IT WITH RESPECTS, AND--AND LOVE, AND IN
A HUMBLE ATTITUDE.
INFLUENCE_ PHOENIX.AZ SATURDAY_ 63-0112
17 I think we Pentecostal people... Fundamentally, full Gospel is Truth, but there is more goes with it. And that deep sincerity of what God has given us, we must approach it with respects, and--and love, and in a humble attitude. I think that's what we need.
HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-12 SUNDAY_ 63-0825M
Now, Revelations, the 3rd chapter, and beginning with the
21st verse, we read this.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in
my throne, even as I... overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.

34 Did you notice the--the 'rangements of that? See? "Set with Me in My throne," not "on My throne." "In My throne," that's in His domain. See? And now, as--as Christ is the Ruler, throne Ruler at this time, of the complete domain of God, so will the Church be with Him, the Bride be with Him, in His throne, in the entire domain. See? Not "on My throne," but "in My throne," see, where His domain reaches. A throne is over a domain, and--and a domain reaches just as far as its boundaries does. And this is from Eternity to Eternity. Just think of it!
*BUT WHEN WE COME HERE, WE
ARE HERE FOR ONE SPECIFIC PURPOSE. THIS IS THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION...THIS IS
THE THRONE OF GOD, AND JUDGMENT GOES FORTH FROM THE HOUSE OF GOD.
HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-12 SUNDAY_ 63-0825M
35 Now, as we study this, my purpose of this is just not to
come here to--to fellowship with you people. Which, I love to do that. But
if--if I had a chance to do that, I would come to your home, and shake your
hand and talk with you, and set down, eat dinner with you; and set down, under
the shade tree, and talk and fellowship a while.
But when we come here, we are here for one specific purpose. This is the house of correction. This is the throne. This is the throne of God, and judgment goes forth from the house of God. And here is where we come together, gather in love, with one another, as only Christians can love. But, in here, we are--we are under a--a--a--a leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost is among us. And we're here to be... to take reckoning among us, to see where our short places are, our shortcoming, and how can we catch from where we should be, over to where we ought to be now; where we are, and where we ought to be. And that's what we study. Ministers study those places, for their people. When they see the people, the lack, then they begin on that.
*... KNOWING THAT THIS IS THE
LAODICEA AGE, AND KNOWING THAT THIS AGE NEEDS A SHARP REBUKE FROM GOD.
HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-12 SUNDAY_ 63-0825M
39 And Laodicea had it coming to her. Now we see, then, knowing that this is the Laodicea Age, and knowing that
this age needs a sharp rebuke from God. It needs a sharp rebuke. And when our clergy gets so soft and doty, like some aged
grandfather to his grandchildren, ever what they do is perfect. And
they're...
40 It's been said so much, that God
is such a good God, until they try to make God just a big doty grandfather. You
see? But He is not. He is a Father, and a Father of
righteousness, of correction. And love is always corrective. See? Love corrects. No matter how bad it hurts, it still
corrects.
A real
mother will correct her children. A real dad will correct. See?
If you just get soft and doty, and let it...
*OVERCOME, KEEP LIFE IN YOU.
HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-12 SUNDAY_ 63-0825M
41 I was crossing an old log the other day, down a--a wash, or what is called a hollow. And I jumped up on this log. On the outside, it looked good, looked like a big old beech log. But when I jumped on it, oh, a great chunk of it fell off. It was real rotten and dotty. I said, "That's the way the Christians are becoming." They been dead in sin and trespasses, so long, till become doty. They can hold no weight, at all. They--they don't know what the overcoming means. I begin to think of this text, then. Overcome, keep Life in you. When life went out, that's what brought that log to that condition. See? And it made it worse than ever when it laid in the branch where the water was.
*IF WE ARE TRYING TO FOLLOW
THE MESSAGE OF THE HOUR, OR AT LEAST THIS PART OF THE MESSAGE, WE SHOULD LIVE
CONSTANTLY IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST.
HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-12 SUNDAY_ 63-0825M
42 And then, there, you take a
Christian, that's supposed to be a Christian, let the Life of God go from him,
and the experience, the joy of serving Christ; and, living in a church where
such is going on, he rottens twice as quick, right, living right under.
43 So, if we are trying to follow the Message of the hour, or at least this part of the Message, we should live constantly in the Life of Christ. See? Cause, if it don't, you lay around, and know That, these things that you're supposed to do, and don't do it. The Bible said, "He that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it's sin." Then you become doty, rotten, when you're separated from the Life of God. So, strive with all that's in you, to stay in the Life of Christ, that you be fruit-bearing.

46 This is the--the age of Life, personal Life of
Christ, where, the--the chemical of His Body, what was in Him.
First, under justification, the water baptism. Second, under
the new Birth, of Wesley, sanctification, which
cleanses. And thirdly, under the baptism of
the Holy Spirit, putting that sanctified vessel into service. See? The
word sanctify means, it's a compound Greek word which means "cleaned and
set aside for service," set aside for service. Now
the Holy Spirit puts it in service. See?
*YOU'VE GOT TO ACCEPT IT IN
ITS FULLNESS, IN THE POWER OF ITS VINDICATION AND THE REVELATION OF WHAT IT IS,

69 They had been gone for two thousand years. Moses for
about twenty-five hundred years, and Elijah for ever since... Almost
twenty-five hundred years has Elijah been gone, and Moses had been gone, and
here they return with the same nature and do the same things.
Death
doesn't do nothing to a man but change his dwelling place. Doesn't change your
nature. Doesn't change your faith. Doesn't change nothing
in you but your dwelling place.
70 So, which a way your nature is
this morning! If you're a doubter of God's Word, you would be a doubter over
there. I don't care how holy you are, how you live, and how good you live, it
wouldn't change you one bit to die, just your dwelling place. And if you can't accept the whole Word of God the way
It's written, you wouldn't do it There; so, don't worry, you won't be There.
You've got to accept It in Its fullness, in the power of Its vindication and the revelation of what It is, then you become a part of It. It's only His Word that He'll raise up, as He did His Word on the first Easter morning. Only His Word came forth, and those who had died in His Word, believing His Word and vindicated His Word.
*GOD ALWAYS MAKES IT SIMPLE,

RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.AND.ITS.MESSAGE_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0726M
91 They didn't know the day. They didn't know. That's the
reason they missed it, is because they didn't recognize it. They were like the day, a lot somewhat like the people
today, blinded by scientific proofs, by educational systems, by theological
seminaries. And things that blinded them in that day, it's done the same
thing today. It's blinded them, again.
92 And, also, the simplicity, simplicity
of the message and the messenger! Noah wasn't scientific. He wasn't an
educated man. He was a poor farmer, humble, with a simple message. It was too
simple for their high learning.
So is it today! God always makes it simple, to get the people who will believe and trust Him. It's a different, just a different Message, but the same God. Now I want you to believe It and understand that God has spoke It.

94 And if the churches today
would only recognize, if the churches would only recognize the Word of God
that's made this promise for this hour, to the people, they wouldn't perish.
If
America could only recognize the constitution that she drawed up, she wouldn't
be willing to take Bibles out of the schools, take the Name of God off of
coins, and pledge allegiance under God. But she doesn't
recognize it. Why? She is blind, naked. She can't recognize the blood of those
precious boys that's died on the fields for this privilege. They are forgotten;
they are dust.

95 But there is One Who does remember the shed of the
blood of the prophets, the cost that it taken to bring this Gospel to us today.
How the thousands
has been eaten by lions, and throwed into the dens, have been sawed asunder,
burnt, crucified! God recognizes it.
The church has forgot their prophets. They "don't need them anymore," they claim. But God knows He's got to have them; He hews His people by His Word. But It's too old-fashion to them in this day. They don't recognize It. That's the reason they're in the condition they are. That's the reason they are "naked, miserable, blind, wretched, and don't know it," because they don't recognize the hour that we're living. They don't notice it.
*"THOSE WHO ESCAPE OUT
OF THIS GREAT DAMNATION WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL BRANCH BEFORE THE LORD"?
RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.AND.ITS.MESSAGE_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0726M
166 Do you know the Bible said, that, "Those who escape out of this great damnation will be a beautiful
branch before the Lord"? Someday I'll get to it, the Lord willing,
for it, for you women. Let you see what God thinks
of the woman that really escape this damnation of this day. Said, "She
would be beautiful."
167 I heard a woman, the other day, laughing at... A girl, a bunch of half naked females, with morals lower than a--than a mother dog, laughing at an old woman with a long dress. Listen here, you little twisted-up female, she's got something you know nothing about. She's got moral. You don't even know what the name is. You lost it in the cradle, almost. You don't even know right from wrong; she does. She's got something hid in her heart that you don't know nothing about. You lost it; can never find it. Don't you call her old-fashion, and so forth, like that. She knows something that you don't know nothing about. She's got hid in her heart, treasure of decency. You don't know one word of it. Your mammy brought you up like that. Your pastor permitted it; shows where he stands. I'm preaching about him right here now. See? See where you're at, the churches?
*THE WHOLE WORLD IS SWALLOWED
UP IN IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE. THE BI-... WHOLE WORLD HAS TURNED FROM GOD.
RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.AND.ITS.MESSAGE_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0726M
178 Man and his six senses had just come along, the horse and
buggy, trusting God. In the last seventy-five years, he quit trusting God. When
they signed the constitution of this United States, they put God in everything
they did. Now they don't even have a meeting, and
they never even name His Name. That's right. They
depend on their loftiness of their science, they, their cunningness of their
science, or the lewd bunch. That's exactly right. The whole world is swallowed up in ignorance of the
Bible. The bi-... whole world has turned
from God.
But, just think, right
out of the midst of all that, and the church denominations and all their
seminary lewdness and everything, God has took His
prophets' Word and chopped out a Bride that will believe. Said He would
do it. He's hewed from that thing what He promised He would do.
179 They depend on their human intelligence, their human science, and so forth; left God out, Whom he once trusted. The United States has left God out. They even turned Him out of school, for our little children can't even hear about Him. They turned Him out of school. Now they're trying to turn Him off the dollars, "In God we trust." They're going to turn it out of the pledge allegiance to the flag, "One nation under God." They're going to turn that out.
*THE CHURCH USED TO STOOD ON

182 Why did Russia wake up? Why did the nations wake up? Why
has man been able to achieve? When scientists, three hundred years ago, a
French scientist rolled a ball at a certain speed across the earth, and proved,
by scientific research, "If a man ever made the terrific speed of thirty
miles an hour, gravitation would take him off the earth; according to his
weight, according to the weight of the ball." Now he's going seventeen
thousand miles an hour, see, still trying to climb on. He just recognized that,
lately. Why? Has to be that way.
183 Why, the church used to stood on the rock of Jesus Christ. No matter what anybody said, they stayed right with that Word, the message of the hour; Luther, Wesley, and down through there. And now they've turned back to traditions. Why has it done it?

got.
It's Jehovah or

I shall remain with Him forever; not by my calling or my choice, but by His

all the rest of them fell. And He still

Joh 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
