*LET'S BE SINCERE. LET'S BELIEVE OUR LORD. LET'S APPRECIATE HIS DEATH AT
CALVARY.
THE.TESTIMONY.OF.JESUS.CHRIST_ CHICAGO.IL SATURDAY_ 53-0829
E-32 …..
…He's wonderful. Why
do we set, Christian friends? Why do we set and just so indifferent? Let's be sincere.
Let's believe our Lord. Let's appreciate His death at Calvary. Let's appreciate those stripes on His back tonight.
Let's look at them. On that cold day, when Peter was
warming by the enemey's fire and him rolling and twisting, and the Blood coming
down His back, I can't deny that.
When those great
lashes struck across His back, until His ribs showed through, how could I
say...
THE.TESTIMONY.OF.JESUS.CHRIST_ CHICAGO.IL SATURDAY_ 53-0829
E-33 I look going up Calvary; I see someone
going down through Jerusalem. He has a--a garment on that's wove throughout
without seam. I wonder why them little red specks was all over it? After while, they begin to get bigger. All those little specks finally
run together. It's one big bloody garment. I hear it
slapping around His legs.
What was it? It was the Lamb of God
that was going to Calvary to be sacrificed. He had to die, for only out of
death comes life. Did you hear that? Only out
of death... "Less a corn of wheat falls into the ground, it abides alone."
If it dies, it produces life.
THE.TESTIMONY.OF.JESUS.CHRIST_ CHICAGO.IL SATURDAY_ 53-0829
E-34 Jesus had to die to produce Eternal Life. And now, listen closely, Christian friends. Unless you die to yourself and your feelings, and act on God's Word, you'll never have Life. Forget your feelings; just take what God said. And plant that seed into that life of your own death, or your own death, and Life will be produced out of there and you shall live.
***BUT YOU CANNOT FIND CHRIST UNTIL YOU DIE
TO YOURSELF AND ACCEPT HIM, THE WORD, THEN YOU FIND LIFE.
SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-23 SUNDAY_ 61-1224
15-3 Now, if we want to see Him, if you ever
expect to see Him, you'll never see Him by some joining a church, some book of
laws that you keep, some creeds that you serve. You'll
see Him when you die. When you come to Calvary and are crucified to yourself,
then you'll see Jesus.
"We would see Him." First, before He said
anything, He pointed them to the place to find Him. Like all Gentiles or all
people, you find Jesus at the cross when you're crucified with Him.
SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-23 SUNDAY_ 61-1224
15-5 Today we try to find Him in everything. We try to find Him in a church building. We try to find Him in a denomination. We try to find Him in saying some creed. We try to find Him by keeping certain days, by obeying certain rituals. But we cannot find Him till we come to Calvary. There we are crucified, fall into the dust of the earth, and die to ourselves, and then reborned again. Then we find Jesus.
*AND IF YOU'LL JUST DIE TO YOURSELF,
THAT'LL EMPTY YOUR BODY, EMPTY YOUR SOUL, EMPTY YOUR HEART OF EVERYTHING OF
THIS WORLD, AND ALL OF ITS PLEASURES… YOU'LL RAISE WITH HIM.
CHRISTIANITY.VERSUS.IDOLATRY_ JEFF.IN V-8 N-2 SUNDAY_ 61-1217
212 Right in your heart, remember Christ the Saviour. Remember He died for you. And if you'll just die to yourself, that'll empty your body, empty your soul, empty your heart of
everything of this world, and all of its pleasures, then Christ... You'll raise
with Him.
If you haven't been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ,
there's a pool full of water here. And when you raise up out of that water,
you're rising to walk with Christ in a new life. You are dead then. You're
no more... Temper and everything's gone away. You're a new
creation in Christ. Then He
raises you up by the Holy Ghost and sets you in heavenly places with Himself,
far above all powers of this world.
CHRISTIANITY.VERSUS.IDOLATRY_ JEFF.IN V-8 N-2 SUNDAY_ 61-1217
214 No matter how little... If you're a little washwoman, if
you're--if you're just a brother that don't have his--know his abc's, don't
make any difference who you are, you are
in Christ, triumph over all things. And your authority is over every demon and
every power that the devil has. You're in Christ, triumph.

* BEING DEAD IN CHRIST, YOU TAKE ON
ABRAHAM'S SEED AND ARE HEIRS TO EVERY PROMISE.
JEHOVAH.JIREH_ INDIANAPOLIS.IN WEDNESDAY_ 57-0612
E-29 Abraham owned it all. And he was an heir of all of it,
and you're an heir of all of it, being Abraham's seed. God calls you by sovereign grace, the same way He called Abraham. Tonight you
professed to have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which you have to die to
yourself to be borned of the Spirit as a believer. You, being
dead in Christ, you take on Abraham's seed and are heirs to every promise. Amen.
Don't get scared; "Amen," won't hurt you. "Amen" means
"so be it," and I'm not amening myself, but I believe it.
That's right.
Every
promise is true to the believer, that'll take God at His Word and call those
things like Abraham. The Bible said that Abraham called
those things which was not, as though they were. And
he staggered not at God through unbelief. He never considered his
own body, said Romans 4. His own body now dead, hundred years old,
neither the deadness of Sarah's womb, and he called those things which were
not, as though they were, being fully persuaded that He that made the promise
was able to keep it.
What about you tonight, who call yourself Abraham's seed and are heirs of the same promise? If you have the faith that Abraham had, and if you are Abraham's seed, you've got the same faith or you couldn't be Abraham's seed. Amen. That's pretty strong. Kindy goes hard on some of our pet theology.

E-45 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... preacher, and you just preach
for a meal ticket, you just preach for a living. Brother, stick your hand up to
Christ tonight, say, "God, cut me loose from them things." If you
just preach for what money you get out of it, shame on you, pastor, shame on
you. And you just to be popular, or just to go to the conventions, and enjoy
the blessings, and have the fellowship, is that all you're a Christian for?
Shame on you. You're not willing to
die to yourself and sacrifice everything you are, brother, for the cause of
Christ, then shame on you. And raise your hand, say, "God,
create within me a clean heart." Will you raise your hand and say,
"Be merciful to me, Christ." Many's put their hands up; we're going
to have a word of prayer just in a few moments. God bless you, lady. That's
right. That's right. Stick it way up; that's the way. Amen. Just while we're
waiting a moment...
THE.EAGLE.IN.HER.NEST_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 57-0705
E-46 Businessmen, what about you? One of these days you're
going to leave your business. No matter how prosperous you are, you're going to
leave that business. Every penny you've made will be scattered among your relatives,
and--and it'll be fussing, fighting, carry on. Then how much treasures have you got up
yonder in heaven? What do you know about Christ? Do you just know Him as a
Blesser that blesses your soul? Remember,
the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike. But I mean, do you know
Christ?
You say, "Oh, I know the Bible pretty good." To
know the Bible's not Life.
"I know the catechism." That's not Life. But to know Christ is Life. That's the only way you can
have Life. You
might know business, but do you know Christ? You might know the Bible, but know
Christ. If you don't, in the real forgiveness of sins and the baptism of the
Holy Spirit... I don't mean just a lot of noise; I don't mean just a lot of
this or that; I mean to know Him: that the free
pardon of sin's come into your life, and old things is passed away, and all
things have become new. If you don't know Him like that in freedom
and love, such divine love... If you love Him well enough, you won't do any of
the things of the world.
THE.EAGLE.IN.HER.NEST_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 57-0705
E-47 Just like a man, if he loves his wife,
she don't have no worry about him running out. Same thing to the wife to
the husband, the husband to the wife. If you love, real love for one
another, you'll be true to one another; you can have confidence in each other.
And if you really love Christ, not belong to His Church. She might belong to
you, and you'd run out with somebody else. But if you love her, you won't do
it. Don't say you do and do that; you don't. Action speaks louder than words.

* IF GOD MADE A WAY FOR A FLOWER TO LIVE AGAIN, HOW MUCH MORE HAS HE MADE
A WAY FOR A MAN TO LIVE AGAIN, THAT'S BORNED IN HIS IMAGE
E-46 ….. That's where I found God, in nature,
going out in the woods, and see the little flowers. You can't hide it. Let it
die. A log can fall over it and bury that little seed in there. And it'll rot and the pulp run out of it.
When springtime comes, that little seed of life will work its way around that
log and stick its little head up and praise God.
You can't hide real life, not over a bushel. Real life
shows itself. It can't kill it. It'll live again just as sure as anything.
The frost can bite the little flower, and it bow its head. They have a
funeral procession. The fall rains cry and bury the little thing. It rots; the bulb goes out; the petals are gone;
the seed gone, bursted open; the pulp's run out; but somewhere in there is a little germ of
life that no science can find. Just let the sun go to shine and warm, the
sunrise, it'll live again.
HEAR.YE.HIM_ MIDDLETOWN.OH FRIDAY_ 58-0328
E-47 If God made a way for a flower
to live again, how much more has he made a way for a man to live again, that's
borned in His image. But you got to have life before
you can live again. You can live right now; you
don't have to die to receive it. You have to die to yourself. Then you won't have to
impersonate nothing, you got the genuine thing.

14-6 Take like the wheat. You say, "How
could one grain of wheat?" Here's what happens: One grain falls
in; it brings forth a hundred grains. A
hundred grains falls in, brings forth a thousand grains; a thousand grains falls in and brings
forth a million grains; a
million grains falls in and brings forth a--a barge load, and on and on and on
till it feeds the whole world. That's what He meant. "If I live My Life alone and die this way, and just live
My Life alone, well then, there'll be no fruit after Me. But if I fall into the
ground under the will of God... And I'll bring forth a new birth, and in that
new birth, it'll bring forth another with new birth and another with new birth,
until the whole world will be missionaried and Gospel-preached. 'This Gospel
must be preached in all the world for a witness unto Me. These signs shall
follow them that believe...'"

15-1 So if we ourselves then in our
ministry, and in our thoughts, and in our life, if we abide as we are, we can
do no good.
We've got to
also die at the altar, or we'll live alone; we'll live to
some denomination or some creed; we'll live to some organization. But if we die to
ourselves, then the Holy Spirit will be spread forth everywhere by our lips.
We've got to die.
So many today... So it is like now, that if... We must realize that we've got to die in order to bring
forth new life. So
He said so much in this, "If you want to see Me, you must die, die to
yourself, and then you'll bring forth a new life."
SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-23 SUNDAY_ 61-1224
Oh, so many try today
to hold theirself and maintain your own idea, "I've got my way of it. I
believe this." But you cannot find Christ until you die to yourself and
accept Him, the Word, then you find Life. (Let's see.)

*GIVE UP, AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT COVER YOU WITH HIS PRESENCE AND HIS
POWER
HAVING.CONFERENCES_ CHAUTAUQUA.OH WEDNESDAY_ 60-0608
E-33 Men all down through the age has stumbled at that, so simple: Just accept the Blood. You can't cover yourself; take God's covering. You can't learn how to do it; there's no learning about it. God does it Himself, it's supernatural! It's through life; God does the covering. You can't do it. And not as much as you try to do it, you can no more clean yourself from sin by joining churches and taking creeds, than a leopard could lick his own spots off of him. No, sir. The more he licks them, the brighter they get. You've got to die to yourself, your own thoughts. Give up, and let the Holy Spirit cover you with His Presence and His power. That's God's decision. That's where the conference was set; that's what the decision was made. That's what...
That's the rules of God. Let's not try to figure out something else. Let's just take what He said about it; take God's provided way. That's it. Take it; accept it; believe it. God made the decision. He wouldn't let an Angel make the decision; He wouldn't let Gabriel make it; He wouldn't wet--let Michael make it. He come to make it Himself. Hallelujah! And when He was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and died for us, He made the way, Himself. That's the reason He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man...
He spoke it through the ages. It's always been God's way. God
does it Himself. It's His own children; He won't trust it to an Angel. Then if He won't trust it to an
Angel, He won't trust it to a conference,
or a group of men: let them be bishops, popes, whatever they may be. How fine
they are, that may be all right, but Jesus Christ is God's provided way.
That's the way He said; He decided that at His conference. That's the way.
That's what we must...

*****IN THE POWER AND THE RESURRECTION OF--OF
CHRIST AND THE LIFE THAT WAS IN CHRIST WILL BE IN YOU
WHY_ BLOOMINGTON.IL THURSDAY_ 61-0413
But you know, before you can be borned, you have to die,
and some people die awful hard. They kick, and bawl,
and scream, and carry on. "But unless a
corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone." If you want
to bring forth fruit, die to yourself and your own man-made theology, and be borned again of the Spirit and the resurrection. That's right. Get
rid of the old spirit of selfishness and dryness that's in you. Take on new
Life. It's messy.
WHY_ BLOOMINGTON.IL THURSDAY_ 61-0413
E-81 Unless a grain of corn falls in the
ground and rots, unless a man rots to his own theology, 'less you rotten to
Methodist theology, 'less you rotten to Baptist theology, unless you rotten to
Pentecostal theology... Until you rot to those things
and give yourself into the hands of God, then the old
man will die, and the new man will be born, Christ Jesus we will rise. Glory.
In the power and the resurrection of--of Christ and the
life that was in Christ will be in you, and, "These signs shall
follow them that believe." That's what's the matter? Yes. There's where
it's at.
