23-0529P_HE SWORE BY HIMSELF Pt-14 (IT'S BY TRUE BELIEVERS, HE PROVES HIS WORD)

Heb 6:10  For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 

Heb 6:11  And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 

Heb 6:12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 

Heb 6:13  For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 

Heb 6:14  Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 

Heb 6:15  And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 

Heb 6:16  For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 

Heb 6:17  Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 

Heb 6:18  That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 

Heb 6:19  Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; 

1Ki 10:1  And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions. 

1Ki 10:2  And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. 

1Ki 10:3  And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not. 

Heb 10:23  Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 

Heb 10:24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 

Heb 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 

Heb 10:26  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 

Psa 31:23  O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. 

Psa 31:24  Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. 

2Ti 2:11  It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 

2Ti 2:12  If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 

2Ti 2:13  If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 

2Ti 2:14  Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 

2Ti 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

2Ti 2:16  But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 

2Ti 2:17  And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 

2Ti 2:18  Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 

2Ti 2:19  Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 

1Th 5:16  Rejoice evermore. 

1Th 5:17  Pray without ceasing. 

1Th 5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 

1Th 5:19  Quench not the Spirit. 

1Th 5:20  Despise not prophesyings. 

1Th 5:21  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 

1Th 5:22  Abstain from all appearance of evil. 

1Th 5:23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

1Th 5:24  Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 

1Th 5:25  Brethren, pray for us. 

1Th 5:26  Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 

1Th 5:27  I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. 

1Th 5:28  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. The first epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens. 

THE WOMAN THAT TOUCHED HIS GARMENT, HAD NO PROMISE OF THAT

HIS.UNFAILING.WORDS.OF.PROMISE   64-0120

18    Faith is by hearing the Word, the Word of promise. If you don't have a promise, then you venture out upon your own faith. But, if you can take a promise of God, that's God's promise to you.

19    The woman that touched His garment, had no promise of that. But her faith, without a promise, got her healing.

20    Now, if she could get her healing, by her faith, without a promise in what she was doing, how much more ought we to get our healing, by faith in a promise that God is manifesting and vindicating before us, and has brought it to us by His Word, come around and confirmed His Word!

*HE PROVES HIS WORD IN EVERY AGE, BY THE MOST UNUSUAL WAY, BUT HE ALWAYS DOES IT IN THE SAME WAY

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  108      He proves His Word in every age, by the most unusual way, but He always does it in the same way. See? What did He do in the days of Noah, when He's fixing to deliver the remnant? He sent them Noah, the prophet. He sent Noah, a sign.

109    And now notice, when He comes to deliver the children of Israel, what does He do? His same way, He sends His prophet. His prophet's got the Word. The signs and wonders of the Word promised backs it up, that it's exactly the Truth. Israel made her march to the promised land, because they believed it.

THERE WAS ONE STANDING UP, BY THE NAME OF JOSHUA, AND CALEB, AND BELIEVED THE WORD OF PROMISED TRUE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES WAS.

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  110      And in the wilderness journey, it came to pass that they disbelieved this prophet, after seeing the Word being so confirmed, the Bride got out of step (you know what I'm speaking about, in the vision, see, "got out of step"). There was one standing up, by the name of Joshua, and Caleb, and believed the Word of promised true, regardless of what the circumstances was.

111    Watch when they got to Kadesh-barnea. At Kadesh-barnea, Moses sent out one out of each tribe, to go spy out the land, see which way they was to enter. And he sent his general, Joshua, which was a prophet, so he sent a minor prophet under Moses. And Joshua listened to Moses. And they sent him out, so he said, "Go over and spy that land out."

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  112      And the general went out and picked him out a man out of each tribe, and they took off. He took Caleb, his side buddy, because he knowed Caleb believed. They went over into the promised land, and came back with a bunch of grapes that taken two man to pack. Say, he said now, "So that Israel will have the evidence before they even get into the promise. See, they'll have the evidence that God said it's a good land, and it's filled with milk and honey. It's a grand land. It's a good land. Now your... oh, all this old garlic, leek, and whatever you got here in Egypt. Now we're taking you to a land with milk and honey. You probably never tasted either one, milk or honey, down there in Egypt all these years. They just give you the slaves' rationing. But now you're going to this land." So just at the time they got in about one day's journey, where Kadesh-barnea, the great judgment seat of the world was, they stopped under these--these great palms out there, the springs, and camped. He said, "Now, to let the people know..." Watch what a perfect, what a real, perfect evidence it is, how God does that just as He does today. He said, "Now, God said, 'The land is great.' Now, before you go over, I want you to see the land is great. So go bring me back some evidence of the land and show it to the people."

GOD KEEPS HIS WORD AND PROVES IT TO YOU, THAT IT'S TRUE.

114    Can't you see, today, that if you'll drive a thousand miles to hear the Word, and watch It being proved and confirmed, it's the evidence that it's a great Land? You can see a shadow of a man laying, dying with a cancer, "Be made whole." And we see the Words of God that He spoke would happen in the day, being confirmed, it's the evidence that He keeps His Word. There's a great Land. If my life is just about gone, and God comes down and spares it again, that shows that there's an evidence of an Eternal Life. Where, you once wouldn't have darkened the door of that church, now you stand in line to get into it. It's an evidence. God keeps His Word and proves It to you, that It's true.

"HOW MY HEART GOES TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, TO SEE FAITHFUL PEOPLE!

PROVING.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-9 N-6  SUNDAY_  64-0816

  115      Drive for thousands of miles; come out here in the morning and looked out there and seen them people feeding their babies out of a Coca-cola bottle, a little cereal, about five o'clock in the morning, setting on that lot. I thought, "God, I'd be the lowest hypocrite in the world, to let them people come all that distance, and tell them something that was wrong. For I feel sorry for them, my heart goes for them. They're hungering and thirsting for God. Help me, Lord, to tell them the Truth, or take me away from this world. Let me tell them people the Truth, so help me, God." I said, "You hold my hand, and let me know what's Truth, and then back that up by a confirmation of what I said to be the Truth, that they'll know that It is the Truth. Don't let them poor people be deceived. No." How my heart goes to something like that, to see faithful people!

Heb 13:9  Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 

Heb 13:10  We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 

2Th 3:3  But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. 

2Th 3:4  And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 

2Th 3:5  And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 

Psa 19:6  His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 

Psa 19:7  The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 

Psa 19:8  The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 

Psa 19:9  The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 

Psa 19:10  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 

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. 

Psa 119:90  Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 

Psa 119:91  They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. 

Psa 119:92  Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 

Psa 119:93  I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. 

Psa 119:94  I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 

Psa 119:95  The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. 

Psa 119:96  I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 

Psa 119:97  MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 

1Ti 4:9  This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 

1Ti 4:10  For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 

1Ti 4:11  These things command and teach. 

1Ti 4:12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

1Ti 4:13  Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 

1Ti 4:14  Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 

1Ti 4:15  Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 

1Ti 4:16  Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 

 

23-0526A_THE CHOOSING OF A BRIDE Pt-5 (THE TRUE BRIDE, IS SO SOLD OUT TO HIM AND HIS PROMISED WORD)

Gen 24:12  And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. 

Gen 24:13  Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 

Gen 24:14  And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 

Gen 24:15  And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 

Rev 21:9  And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

1Co 6:14  And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 

1Co 6:15  Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 

1Co 6:16  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 

1Co 6:17  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 

1Co 6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 

1Co 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 

Isa 55:1  Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 

Isa 55:2  Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 

Isa 55:3  Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 

*THE CHURCH HAS BECOME IN THESE DAYS, WITH ITS ACHIEVEMENT, LIKE ALL OTHER MAN-MADE ACHIEVEMENT, IS BECOMING SCIENTIFIC.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  153      The church has become in these days, with its achievement, like all other man-made achievement, is becoming scientific. They're trying to make a scientific church, by the attraction of pictures and great steeples. And it's too bad that the Pentecostal got into that rut. You'd be better off with a tambourine, down on the corner, and the Spirit of God around you. But you're trying to compare with the rest of them, because you denominated. That's what did it. See? Churches is trying to be scientifically.

154    And remember, as man achieves progress by science, he's killing hisself every day. When he invented gun powder, look what it done. When he invented an automobile, it killed more than the gun powder does. Now he's got hisself a hydrogen bomb. Wonder what he's going to do with that? Right.

*CHOOSE BY CHARACTER OF HIS WORD.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  155      And so is the church, as it tries to achieve by science, by man-made scheme, it's taking you farther away from God, and into death, more than it was at the first place. That's right. Don't choose your church the same way you did your wife. See? What science did for her was a marvel, but you better keep away from your church on that; he made paints, powders, and all these other things. Choose by character of His Word.

*NOW LET US COMPARE THE NATURAL BRIDE OF TODAY WITH THE SO-CALLED CHURCH BRIDE OF TODAY.

156    Now let us compare the natural bride of today with the so-called church bride of today. Compare a woman, going to get married today.

157    Now, just look what science has done for her. She comes out, first, with her hair chopped off, with one of these Jacqueline Kennedy hairdo's, see, or something like that. And you know what the Bible said? The Bible actually gives a man, if he wants to, the right to put her away in divorcement, if she does that. "She's a dishonorable woman, that'll cut her hair." The Bible said so. Right. Didn't know that? Huh? Oh, yeah! I preach too much in California for you not to know that. That's right. Oh, yeah! What good does it do me? They do it, anyhow. You can't take the pig and change his name, make him a lamb. Notice.

*BOTH HAS A--A BEAUTIFUL, FALSE FACE ON THEM, MAN-MADE BEAUTY AND NOT GOD-MADE BEAUTY.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  158      You're going to hate me after this, but you're going to know the Truth. See?

159    Look. Let's compare it. Here she comes up with a whole lot of paint, something that she's not, a modern bride. Wash her face, he'd run from her, maybe. Scare you to death, take all that stuff off of her. And so is the church with a big, painted front, a complete theological Max Factor. Uh-huh. Both has a--a beautiful, false face on them, man-made beauty and not God-made beauty. Not much character in either one.

160    Notice, just like Satan, enough to deceive by, compare the modern bride now with her: wears shorts, wears paints, cuts off her hair, wears clothes that look like men, and listen to a pastor that told her that was all right. He's a deceiver. He'll suffer for it in the regions beyond. That's right. Doing that to deceive, to be something that she's not.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  161      That's the way the church does, gets big DD., Ph.D., LL.D. So you say, "Our pastor is this, that, and the other," maybe know no more about God than a Hottentot knows about Egyptian night. That's right. Right. Some theological seminary experience out there, and knows no more about God than nothing.

*BUT HER SPIRITUAL CHARACTER IS FAR FROM THAT BEING THE HOMEMAKER THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COMING TO RECEIVE.

162    Modern church and their theological paint, have their women all with their glory shaved off, by their some ricky and a pastor that they got, like a Jezebel if there ever was one. Bobbed hair, shorts, paints, all fixed up in a theological taste, that's the way the church stand. Right. But her spiritual character is far from that being the homemaker that Jesus Christ is coming to receive.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  163      If any Christian would marry a woman like that, it shows he's fallen from grace. His taste of God and his taste of a home, what a home ought to be, is far, when he choose a woman like that. No, sir. She sure wouldn't fit a Christian's taste. Her spiritual character is the lowest ebb, dead, in denominational beauty and lust of the world.

*THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE THE CHURCH STANDS TODAY, SOLD HER WORD-GIVEN CHARACTER TO SATAN, FOR A SCIENTIFIC MAN-MADE RELIGION.

164    That's exactly where the church stands today, sold her Word-given character to Satan, for a scientific man-made religion. When, she had the right, as a church of God, to stay with the Word of God and have the Holy Spirit working among, welding the Body together with the Word and love of God. Instead of that, she sold out her birthrights, like Esau, and took a denomination, let her do it, anything she wanted to, right, just to be popular like her mother did at Nicaea Rome. God's Word!

165    Oh, how it's entered into our Pentecostal realm! It's too bad, but it did it.

*THE TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST, THE BRIDE, IS SO SOLD OUT TO HIM AND HIS PROMISED WORD

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  166      Notice, just a minute, a nun in a Catholic church. That woman, to become a nun, and takes that last veil, she is absolutely sold out to that church. She is (soul, body, and spirit) property of that church. She has no mind of her own. She can't have, when she takes that last veil, no mind of her own, no will of her own. See out here, that Satan makes them his bogus, like the true.

167    The true Church of Christ, the Bride, is so sold out to Him and His promised Word, till the very mind that's in Christ is in you. What a different!

*THE MODERN WORLD CHURCH AND ALSO THAT THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH ARE BOTH PREGNATED…

168    And we find today, that, the modern church, a modern world church. The modern world church and also that the spiritual Church are both pregnated, to give birth to sons.

169    One of them, a denominational birth, is going to be give, one day to these days, at the World Council of Churches, which will produce to the world the antichrist, through a denomination. That's exactly the Truth. I may not live to see it. I believe I will. But, you young people, remember that you heard a minister say that. That'll finally wind up. And that is the mark of the beast, when she forms that World Council of Churches. And she'll give birth to her son, the antichrist.

*NOW, SHE, THE TRUE BRIDE, SO SOLD OUT TO HIM, THAT SHE USE NO MIND OF HER OWN.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  170      The other is pregnated by the Word of God and will bring forth the Body, the finished Body of Jesus Christ, which is the Bride. The Body of Christ isn't finished yet. How many knows that? A man and woman is one. And Christ is one Body, the Word. The Bride will have to be the rest of that Body. And the two, together, makes the one Body again. Like Adam was at the beginning: man, his wife, are one. Now, She, the true Bride, so sold out to Him, that She use no mind of Her own. His mind, of course, is His will, and His will is His Word.

*SO SHALL WE BE RAISED, FOR WE ARE HIS BRIDE, FLESH OF HIS FLESH, BONE OF HIS BONE, AND WE SHALL BE WITH HIM.

So what kind of a people should we be then? Why, we should be free and happy, and my, no condemnation, living above sin and disgrace, not by our own...?... but by Him. See? Not what we are but what He is. God don't accept me for what I am. He accepts me for what Christ has done for me. It isn't my holiness, my righteousness; it's His. I have none to offer, but I just accepted His. Amen. So I know He's pleased with that, for He said, "This is My beloved Son in Who I'm well pleased." And He raised him up from the dead. And just as He raised Him from the dead, so shall we be raised, for we are his Bride, flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone, and we shall be with Him.

    Because thou has chosen the narrow path... (Now, see, I get that all right. There's part of it I don't.) Because thou has chosen the narrow path, the harder way; thou has walked of thy own choosing.

  166    I can get that all right. See? See, you choose it yourself. Moses made his own choice; he didn't have to do it. Neither did I have to take this path. I could have big buildings out yonder like some of them's got. I could be all across on television. But who would sponsor me on--on tearing the very foundation? But one thing, I don't have to bow down to nobody's feet but the Lord Jesus Christ. That's right. Yes. I preach what the Bible says. I don't have to compromise with their organizations, 'cause I don't belong to them. I made the choice. Just like He said up there, "As I was with Moses, so will I be with you." And He give Moses two signs of confirmation to prove. And Moses made his own choice. See, Moses made his own choice. So that's easy to understand that (See?), "Thou has chose a..."

Because thou has chosen the narrow path, the harder way, thou has walked of your own choosing.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST   JEFFERSONVILLE IN   54-0513   110V-26 N-3

Now... Oh, when I read this, sometime my heart leaps for joy (all right), when I think of how that we're living here in the last day.

 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast.

 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them.

There comes the battle of Armageddon; ready for the Millennium.

 For he is the Lord of lord, and the King of king... (Don't be shook up)... and they that are with him are called, the chosen.

Not you, He has. You got the Holy Ghost, you ought to shout victory. God chose you before the foundation of the world. If you can't see Gospel Light, it's because you--you're just blind.

Every nation under heaven is to Rome. No wonder he said, "Who can make war with him?" He can say "peace" that settles it. Every Catholic says "Don't fight." and he... They don't fight. That's all. Who is able to do what he can do? Nobody. That's right. So they wondered at the miracles he could do. He can stop war. The only thing he has to do is just say, "Stop." That's all. But you think he will do it? Certainly not.

And Jesus with the--with the sins of the world laying upon His shoulders and His face set to Calvary, knowing He was going straight to Jerusalem to die for the sins of the world... Pushing through that crowd.

Psa 27:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 

Psa 27:12  Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 

Psa 27:13  I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 

Psa 27:14  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. 

 

23-0519A_THE CHOOSING OF A BRIDE Pt-4 (CHOOSE BY CHARACTER OF HIS WORD)

Gen 24:12  And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. 

Gen 24:13  Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 

Gen 24:14  And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 

Gen 24:15  And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 

Gen 24:16  And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. 

Rev 21:9  And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 

*"WOMAN WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND NOT MAN FOR WOMAN."…NOW, WE WERE MADE FOR CHRIST. CHRIST WASN'T MADE FOR US.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

133      Now, notice again how the natural bride types the spiritual. The Word says, that, "She was made for man, and not man made for her."

135    "Woman was made for man, and not man for woman." That's the reason, under the old laws, that polygamy was legal. Look at David setting down there with five hundred wives, and the Bible said, "He was a man after God's own heart." With five hundred wives, and Solomon with a thousand, but not one of them women could have another husband.

*NOW, WE WERE MADE FOR CHRIST. CHRIST WASN'T MADE FOR US.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  137      Notice, now, she could not have but one husband, because, "Woman was made for man, and not man for woman." That whole five hundred women was just David's wife, and it was a type. When Christ sets on the Throne in the Millennium, His Bride will be not one person, but it'll be tens of thousands, the Bride, all in One. And David had many wives, as individuals, but only all of them together was his wife. Like the whole Body of believers is the Bride of Christ, 'cause It's She, the woman. He was the Man. Now, we were made for Christ. Christ wasn't made for us.

138    That's what we try to do today in our textbooks, is try to make the Word (which is Christ) suit us, instead of us trying to make ourself to suit the Word. That's the different.

*WHEN A MAN CHOOSES A CERTAIN GIRL OUT OF A FAMILY

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

139      When a man chooses a certain girl out of a family, he must not rely upon beauty, for beauty is deceiving. And beauty, modern worldly beauty, is of the Devil.

"Oh," I hear someone say out there, "be careful here, preacher!"

140    I say that these things on this earth, that's called beautiful, is absolutely of the Devil. I'll prove it to you. Then, in the light of this remark, let's search God's holy Word, to see if it's right or not. And some of you women wants to be so pretty! See where it comes from. In the beginning, we find that Satan was so beautiful till he deceived Angels. And he was the most beautiful Angel of all of them. Showed, it lays in the Devil. Proverbs said, Solomon said, "Beauty is vain." That's right. Sin is beautiful. Certainly, it is. It's attractive.

*WHEN YOU WATCH WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING, YOU'LL SEE WHAT THE CHURCH IS DOING.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  144      And the woman was the one that was changed over, for the perversion. That's right. See where the beauty takes her to? Now, that's why that, today, we find that women is on the increase of beauty. You take Pearl O'Brien, you ever see her picture? Supposed to be American's great beauty. There isn't a school kid out of any school but what would have her in a--a back row. Did you know it's supposed to be that way? Did you know the Bible speaks that that's the way it's going to be?

145    Do you know the fall came by women at the beginning? And fall... The end is going to wind up the same way, women coming into authority and ruling over men, and so forth. You know the Scripture says that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] You know, the day that she puts on man's clothes, and bobbed her hair, all those things are contrary to God's Word. And you know she represents the church? ["Yes."] When you watch what women are doing, you'll see what the church is doing. That's exactly right. Now, now, that's just as true

*THE CHURCH HAS BECOME IN THESE DAYS, WITH ITS ACHIEVEMENT, LIKE ALL OTHER MAN-MADE ACHIEVEMENT, IS BECOMING SCIENTIFIC.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  153      The church has become in these days, with its achievement, like all other man-made achievement, is becoming scientific. They're trying to make a scientific church, by the attraction of pictures and great steeples. And it's too bad that the Pentecostal got into that rut. You'd be better off with a tambourine, down on the corner, and the Spirit of God around you. But you're trying to compare with the rest of them, because you denominated. That's what did it. See? Churches is trying to be scientifically.

154    And remember, as man achieves progress by science, he's killing hisself every day. When he invented gun powder, look what it done. When he invented an automobile, it killed more than the gun powder does. Now he's got hisself a hydrogen bomb. Wonder what he's going to do with that? Right.

*IT'S GOD'S WORD DECLARING HIS CHARACTER

E-66    When He come to me, I was once a sinner. And now I'm saved. I was once lost; now I'm found. I once loved the things of the world; I hate it now. I once cared not for God; I love Him now. Something happened to me. Something happened to you.

What is it? It's God's Word declaring His character. He loves us. He's interested in your welfare. He's interested in your healing. He's interested in your soul. Won't you let Him have His way in your life? Don't you doubt Him for nothing. You go believing Him, and God will give you the desire of your heart, for it's His good will to do it. He longs to do it. But the thing of it is, we get all flusterated. Stand still.

*AND THEREFORE WE MUST MAKE OUR CHARACTER TO BE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD--AND THE HOLY SPIRIT MOLD US INTO BELIEVERS.

E-21    What a lesson for you and I. We may be amongst sinners, and aliens of the world here, unbelievers, but we're sons and daughters of God, of the King, God. Then let's conduct our character: be like sons and daughters of God; act like sons and daughters of God, and not have to be drove around, and made--try to push to believe the Word. Believe the Word. God's sons believe His Word. God's daughters believe His Word. And therefore we must make our character to be sons and daughters of God--and the Holy Spirit mold us into believers.

*LET US LOOK IN--IN GOD'S MIRROR, WORD, AND IDENTIFY OUR PRESENT CHARACTER.

IDENTIFICATION_  PHOENIX.AZ  WEDNESDAY_  63-0123

124      Daniel had purposed in his heart, he wasn't going to defile himself with the world. And what did it do? It saved his life. The Hebrew children, the same way.

125    And every person that ever served God, become an image of God, was God expressing His own Word through them. Because, the Hebrew children said, "Our God is able to deliver us." They had no revelation of it, no more than that. "But," said, "however, we'll not bow down to your image." What was it? They was expressing their faith in the Word of God. And God expressed Himself back and reflected, and He was the fourth Man that they seen, in that mirror in there. God, expressing Himself through His living images! Oh, my!

IDENTIFICATION_  PHOENIX.AZ  WEDNESDAY_  63-0123

  126      Now let us look in--in God's mirror, Word, and identify our present character.

*CHOOSE BY CHARACTER OF HIS WORD.

THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_  LA.CA  V-2 N-28  THURSDAY_  65-0429E

  155      And so is the church, as it tries to achieve by science, by man-made scheme, it's taking you farther away from God, and into death, more than it was at the first place. That's right. Don't choose your church the same way you did your wife. See? What science did for her was a marvel, but you better keep away from your church on that; he made paints, powders, and all these other things. Choose by character of His Word.

*THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO HAS PROMISED THIS MERCY, GIVE IT TO EACH OF US...FULFILL HIS WORD AND TO MOLD OUR LIVES AND OUR CHARACTER TO FIT HIS WORD.

O God, how we thank Thee for this. This is glorious in Thy sight. It thrills our heart to see men and women who will kneel humbly at an altar, and confess their wrongs, and plead for mercy. Take them through, Lord. Your anointed servants, the ministers of the Word, are standing by the side of these people. And I'm standing here by this sacred desk, this is a wonderful moment. The Angels of God has set down their camps along the side of this place tonight. For it is written in the Word, "The Angels of God are encamped about those who fear Him." And in the great unseen world that now is around us, stirring our emotions to repentance, and to bring evil before our eyes, that we have done wrong, with penitent hearts we surrender our evil ways, Lord, and ask for Divine mercy. And may the Holy Spirit, Who has promised this mercy, give it to each of us as we humbly beg and ask God to fulfill His Word and to mold our lives and our character to fit His Word. We ask in Christ's Name.
