Gen 22:7  And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 

Gen 22:8  And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 

Gen 22:9  And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 

Gen 22:10  And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 

Gen 22:11  And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 

Gen 22:12  And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 

Gen 22:13  And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 

Joh 12:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 

Joh 12:25  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 

Joh 12:26  If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 

Phm 1:1  Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ,

*BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SURRENDER SOUL, BODY, SPIRIT, STRENGTH, EVERYTHING YOU ARE, TO THE WILL OF GOD, BECOME A PRISONER TO HIM.

44    If God can only find one man, that's all He needs, one man that can fully surrender to Him. He don't take an army; He never did use that. He only uses a man.

  45      Now, Samson gave God His strength to use, but he didn't give God his heart. He gave his heart to Delilah, and gave his strength to God.

46    But you've got to surrender soul, body, spirit, strength, everything you are, to the will of God, become a prisoner to Him. You're going to be somebody's prisoner. You don't belong to yourself. You are somebody's prisoner. You're either a prisoner of the devil, knowing this Truth and won't surrender to it, or a prisoner to--to the world, and surrender to God, one or the other. You're either the devil's prisoner, to sin, or you're God's prisoner, to righteousness. You're one or the other.

ONCE.MORE_  CHICAGO.IL  V-21 N-7  SUNDAY_  63-0804A

  47      And now Samson thinks of the great victories that he had won. No doubt it come to his mind of how, that when he was a little boy, that God had vindicated him, told his mother that how that she must do; not drink strong drinks, or--or watch her diet, that she was bringing forth a Nazarite. How she combed his hair, and told him, "Son, through these locks, it's a covenant with God, that your strength will lay in there. Don't, never give it away. Don't, never give away your secret. Don't, never surrender it. Whatever you do, stay with it."

ONCE.MORE_  CHICAGO.IL  V-21 N-7  SUNDAY_  63-0804A

  48      Jesus Christ told the church, that, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but my Words shall never pass away. And whosoever shall take one Word from It, or add one word to It, his part will be taken out of the Book of Life." The church ought to think of that now as we stand in this chaos, in this hour just prayer... prior the Coming of the Lord Jesus, at any moment, for a Rapture.
 
*YOU SEE THE REST OF THE PEOPLE LIVING THE WAY THEY DO, BUT YET YOU DO NOT DO IT. YOU'RE A PRISONER. YOKED WITH CHRIST, WITH HIS WORD

CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-7  SUNDAY_  63-0728

188      And to be sure, that, the whole Rapture now; Luther was a part, Wesley was a part, the prophets was a part. If they're--aren't a part... Just in the revelation that they was making up, the body, feet, toes, arms, and so forth, until the Head (which we get to that in a few minutes), see, that makes the entire Rapture. It's the Body of the Word, which is Christ. Amen!

189    Outside of That, you're lost. I don't care how good you are, or what your relationship is, or what your fellowship is, or what your organization is, you're lost, outside of that Word being in you.

190      "If ye abide in Me, the Word, My Word abide in you, then you ask what you will," because you and the Word are the same. He has the preeminences. He's got the rulership. You're a... you're a prisoner to Him. The world is dead. You have nothing more... You see the rest of the people living the way they do, but yet you do not do it. You're a prisoner. You're yoked with Him. "My yoke is easy." Yoked with Christ, with His Word. "I do that only which the... pleases the Father. And if you can't believe that I am He, then believe the Word." So perfect! Notice.
 
*…A PRISONER TO THE WORD AND WILL OF GOD; HE COULDN'T EVEN MOVE UNTIL GOD MOVED HIM.

PERFECT.FAITH_  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-11  SUNDAY_  63-0825E

72      Now, the identification of a Scripture Christian, these Words said Jesus: "These signs shall follow them that believe." Now, how can you call yourself a believer, a people, and deny those Words? How can you call yourself a believer and deny any of this Word? See? You can't do it. You're not a believer, therefore signs can't follow, because you just accept what you want to believe and let the rest of It... you won't--don't believe It. But you got to take the whole thing, and believe It. And when you truly believe (not make believe, but really believe), then these signs follow them that believe.

73    Oh, could you compare a Christian today with them Christians of long ago? How them disciples walked in the power of the Spirit, moved by the Holy Ghost, do it. Just a prisoner, as I preached on the other night, a prisoner to the Word and will of God; he couldn't even move until God moved him. Wouldn't you like to see a Church rise like that? It's going to; going back. It's--it's got to come. That's right. It's go-... It's on its road now, I believe.

PERFECT.FAITH_  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-11  SUNDAY_  63-0825E

  74      For the Word identified, identified Himself, what He was; and the same Word identifies us. See? "If a man loves Me, he keeps My commandment. And if he says he loves Me, and keeps not My commandments (that's all of them), he's a liar, and the Truth's not even in him."

*IT'S A LIFE THAT YOU DON'T LIVE YOURSELF, BUT HE COMES IN YOU AND LIVES BY HISSELF, AND YOU BECOME A PRISONER

CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-7  SUNDAY_  63-0728

218    It's not expressions of some church that we should express something. It's a life that you don't live yourself, but He comes in you and lives by Hisself, and you become a prisoner; to any human intellectual being at all. You're led by the Spirit. And how do you know?

219      Now, you say, "I might know I was losing my mind. Maybe a man that loses his mind does that."

220    But if you have the mind of Christ, Christ expresses Himself through you, shows that it's Him and not... you've not lost your mind.

221    Some people, under illusions of things, goes out and becomes insane. Well, that, we know that's wrong. That's the devil trying to impersonate the real thing before it gets here. See? They're always a bogus. See?

222    But a real man, and to lose his own thoughts and his own thinking! Not come up blindly like that. No, sir. You come up with your right senses, and Christ takes you over and expresses Hisself. And now, to the world, you're an insane person.

223    Now, if you're insane, you're actually insane, then there's nothing, the devil can't take you in complete control. He'll make you do everything contrary to this Word.

224    But when Christ takes you over, He'll express that Word right through you, because it's Him. He is the Word! See? And then you can see the expression of Christ. Not some illusion of some sort, but a real genuine Christ expressing Himself right through you. How beautiful!

*YOU ARE A--YOU ARE A LOVE PRISONER TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, AND DUTY BOUND.

INFLUENCE_  CHICAGO.IL  V-21 N-6  SATURDAY_  63-0803E

  115      But it's becoming to us that we fulfill all righteousness. It's got to be said somewhere. You don't look at your fame and popularity here. You are a--you are a love prisoner to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and duty bound. You're a prisoner to Him, and you can say nothing else but what the Holy Ghost says, and preach the thing that's right. Right. You become a love prisoner to Him. Then you don't care what it is, you've got to fulfill all righteousness. A minister should speak that, you Pentecostal people especially, that--that knows better than--than to let that get by like that.
WE ARE IN A REFLECTION.

A.PRISONER_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-8  WEDNESDAY_  63-0717

  20      The physical has to die. But if you are reflecting, by your mortal life, the Light of Heaven, then you're reflecting the Eternal Life, God. Then when you die, you can no more than go to that Light, because That's what you've reflected.

21    If you are of the dark world, you reflect that, and you can do, go no other way but to darkness. See? So we are in a reflection. So, we see that. And sure as the Holy Spirit reflects Light and Life, so does death reflect darkness.

1Co 15:31  I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 

Psa 140:4  Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 

Psa 140:5  The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. 

Psa 140:6  I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 

Psa 140:7  O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 

Psa 140:8  Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. 

Psa 140:9  As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 

Psa 140:10  Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. 

Psa 140:11  Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 

Psa 140:12  I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. 

Psa 140:13  Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
