24-1028P_FAITHFUL SERVICE UNTO THE LORD PT-8 (THE LORD PRESERVETH THE FAITHFUL)

Jud 1:1  Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: 

Jud 1:2  Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. 

Jud 1:3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 

Psa 31:19  Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! 

Psa 31:20  Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. 

Psa 31:21  Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. 

Psa 31:22  For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. 

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. 

Psa 36:5  Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. 

Psa 36:6  Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 

Psa 36:7  How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. 

Psa 36:8  They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. 

Psa 36:9  For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. 

Psa 36:10  O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. 

Psa 36:11  Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. 

Psa 89:5  And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 

Psa 89:24  But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 

Psa 89:25  I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 

Psa 89:26  He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 

Psa 89:27  Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 

Psa 89:28  My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 

Psa 89:29  His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 

Psa 89:30  If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 

Psa 89:31  If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 

Psa 89:32  Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 

Psa 89:33  Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 

Psa 89:34  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 

Psa 89:35  Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 

Psa 89:36  His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 

Psa 89:37  It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 

Psa 89:38  But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 

Psa 89:39  Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 

Psa 89:40  Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 

Psa 89:41  All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 

Psa 89:42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 

Psa 89:43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 

Psa 89:44  Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 

Psa 89:45  The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 

Psa 89:46  How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 

Psa 89:47  Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 

Psa 89:48  What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 

Psa 89:49  Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? 

Psa 89:50  Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 

Psa 89:51  Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 

Psa 89:52  Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. 

Psa 92:2  To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 

Psa 92:3  Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 

Psa 92:4  For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 

Psa 92:5  O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 

Psa 92:6  A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 

Psa 92:7  When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 

Psa 92:8  But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 

Psa 92:9  For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 

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. 

Rom 4:16  Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 

Rom 4:17  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 

Rom 4:18  Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 

Rom 4:19  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: 

Rom 4:20  He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 

Rom 4:21  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 

Rom 4:22  And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 

Psa 124:2  If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 

Psa 124:3  Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: 

Psa 124:4  Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: 

Psa 124:5  Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 

Psa 124:6  Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. 

Psa 124:7  Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. 

Psa 124:8  Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. 

 

*…WE ARE LOOKING FOR MORE STRENGTH, A RAPTURING STRENGTH TO MEET A WORSE FORCE, THAT'LL RAPTURE THE CHURCH AND TAKE IT INTO GLORY.

THE.CONTEST_  JEFF.IN  V-10 N-7  MONDAY_  62-1231

  33    …..Let's go in the power of His resurrection. Let's go in the Name of Jesus Christ, with a banner lifted high, and with faith in His Word to handle the two-edged Sword, with the shield and the full armor of God on to meet the enemy, because he's getting stronger and more powerful every day. As the--as the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God raises up a standard against him. If we have come to the end of these things that we--and the mysteries of God has been completed with us, we are looking for more strength, a rapturing strength to meet a worse force, that'll rapture the Church and take it into glory. …..And like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego of old, we'll not bow to the devils of this world and take back this thing that what we've talked about, but let's press the battle.
 
*YOU CAN'T GO ONE INCH FARTHER, GO THAT INCH…THEN IF YOU HIT THE WALL, STAND THERE UNTIL GOD MAKES A WAY THROUGH IT.

THE.CONFLICT.BETWEEN.GOD.AND.SATAN_CLARKSVILLE.IN  THURSDAY_  62-0531

E-64    When Abraham, the father of the faithful, pulled out the knife, pulled the hair back on his child's head to cut his throat, he said, "I'm persuaded that God's able to raise him up from the dead, from the...?... that I feel him...?..." He was willing to follow the Word of God to the end. You get it? No matter what it is stay right there. If everything seems to be... You can't go one inch farther, go that inch. Then if you hit the wall, stand there until God makes a way through it.

222    Moses had served God faithfully. He had put up with all their chiding, and all the Dathans that raised up and said, "Say, there's other men that's prophets besides you. You're not the only pebble on the beach." And he knew he had God's message for them. Impersonators raised up.
Moses just said, "God, what can I do?"

223    And He said, "Separate yourself. I'll just swallow the thing up. Take your rods, and go in there and see which one buds. See? I'll show you who is priest, who is prophet."

  224      And Moses had served the office faithful. Then when he got old, a hundred and twenty years he had walked faithfully with God. All these forty years in the wilderness, stood all kinds of persecutions of nations and people, constantly. And then it come to a place to die. He needed a place to die. God provided him a place on the Rock.

225    O God, let me die there, too, upon the Rock. The Rock was Christ, you know. God provided a place for Moses to die. That's where, only, I want to die. Let me die in Christ.

226    And then when he was dead, his body laying up there, he needed pallbearers. So God provided pallbearers, Angels. Why? They was the only One could take him where he was going to. Amen. God provided the pallbearers. That's right.

227    I am depending upon the Holy Spirit, upon the Word, the promise. Not take you out for a nice big burial. They did the rich man that way, but he lift up his eyes in hell. See? Not about a fancy burial. It don't make any difference. I want to take God's provided way. "Them that are in Christ will God bring with Him when He comes." That's the provision. God made His faithful prophet a place to die.
 
*ENOCH, AFTER WALKING FIVE HUNDRED YEARS WITH GOD…

  228      Enoch, after walking five hundred years with God, and God told him, "Enoch, you're not going to have to die. You want to come up home? Are you homesick, Enoch?"
He said, "Yea, Lord. I'm homesick."

229    Said, "Have you walked in the pesthouse down there long enough?"
He said, "Yes."

Said, "All right, just start walking."

230    Enoch needed a ladder. God give him a highway. That was God's way for him. Provided him a highway, upward! He didn't... He just went right up, like that. He didn't have to strain, at all. Just run right up; and the Holy Spirit, behind him, lifted him right up. He went right up the highway of holiness, right into the Kingdom of God.
 
*ELIJAH …AND HE DONE SO MUCH, TILL HE WAS GETTING TIRED, AND HE WANTED TO GO HOME.

ACCEPTING.GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY.AT.THE.END.TIME_PHOENIX.AZ  TUESDAY_  63-0115

  231      Elijah, after he had condemned bobbed hair and painted faces, for all of his life, of that Jezebel, the first woman, her and the renowned president of that time, who put a poor example before the people and got them all carried off. And--and, actually, he thought he was the only one preaching that. He just carried the thing every way. And he done so much, till he was getting tired, and he wanted to go home. And he knowed God was from Above. He needed a rope to climb up, to come up to Heaven, but God sent him a chariot with two horses hitched to it. That's God's provided way to take him. Might have been looking for a rope, but God sent a chariot. That was His way. Joshua...

232    And at the end of the road, that was Elijah's end. That was Noah. That was, all the time, the end.
 
*JOSHUA, WHEN HE COME TO THE END OF THE TRAIL, THROUGH THE WILDERNESS …HE, HE NEEDED A BRIDGE. BUT GOD'S PROVIDED WAY WAS A POWER, NOT A BRIDGE.

  233      Now, Joshua, when he come to the end of the trail, through the wilderness, watch, he needed a bridge to cross over Jordan, into the promised land. God... He, he needed a bridge. But God's provided way was a power, not a bridge. He sent a power, and He held the river back. And he walked across on dry land. That was God's provided way, not a bridge. He had a better Engineer. So, He just sent him power, pushed the water back until he walked over on dry land.
 
*DANIEL, FOR THE CAUSE OF GOD, WAS THROWED INTO A LIONS' DEN. HE NEEDED A FENCE, BUT GOD SENT HIM AN ANGEL.

  234      Daniel, for the cause of God, was throwed into a lions' den. He needed a fence, but God sent him an Angel. What a different! That was God's provided way. He needed a fence, but God give him an Angel. What a better fence it was! He always gives you better than you ask for, always. Yes. He needed a fence; God sent him an Angel.

235    The Hebrew children, they needed some water, to put out that fire. But God sent them the fourth Man. That's all they needed. He untied their hands, and talked with them. They walked out without smell of fire on them. They needed water; He sent the fourth Man.

 

24-1025A_THE IDENTIFIED CHRIST OF ALL AGES PT-27 (CHARACTER)

Php 2:5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 

Php 2:6  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 

Php 2:7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 

Php 2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 

Php 2:9  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 

Php 2:10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 

Php 2:11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

Isa 53:1  Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 

Isa 53:2  For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 

Isa 53:3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 

Isa 53:4  Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 

Isa 53:5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 

Isa 53:6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 

2Ti 3:10  But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 

2Ti 3:11  Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 

2Ti 3:12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 

Eph 5:1  Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 

Eph 5:2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 

Eph 5:3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 

Eph 5:4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 

Eph 5:5  For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 

Eph 5:6  Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 

Eph 5:7  Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 

Eph 5:8  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 

*AND YOUR CHARACTER IS PROVEN BY THE LIFE THAT'S IN YOU.

LIFE_  BANGOR.ME  MONDAY_  58-0519

E-33    …..Life, what's greater? Your emotions make up what you are, is your life. And what kind of character should we be if we claim to have Eternal Life? Now, there's only one type of Eternal Life, and that is God's Life. That was the great Spirit in the beginning, the seven Spirits of God like the seven rainbow colors.

E-35    Now, there's life. There's one kind of Eternal Life and that's God's Life. And when you receive that, you have Eternal Life. But life has many interpretations as it comes down. There's love, Agapao; love, Phileo; love; lust. See, you just keep dropping down, dropping down into the lowest of low. But all of that had a beginning so it'll have a end. But those things which had no beginning has no end. So God had no beginning, and His life had no beginning, and it'll have no end. And if you've got Eternal Life, then you have no end to Eternal Life. It's forever. And your character is proven by the life that's in you.
 
* THERE IS NOTHING COULD SAVE IT BUT A CHARACTER THAT COULD COME OVER THE TOP ALL OF THAT.

IDENTIFICATION_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-14  SUNDAY_  64-0216

  47      But, oh, let me give you a more pitiful sight, is to see men and women who were made in the image of God, to bear His character, yet housed into things, and housed in by the traps of the world. See a beautiful young lady coming down the street, such a--a--a real... her--her... such a pretty woman, and her pretty hair all cut off; see her face with--with... A pretty, shaped face, with so much paint on it, you can't tell what she looks like. Look like she is cankered, with blue under her eyes, and--and eyes like a lizard, or a wolf, or something like that. And to see her with clothes on that she shouldn't be even caught into the--the bedroom herself, with the doors locked, with them on, and out on the street displaying herself like that. And to see sons of God, which ought to recognize that to be their sister, out on the street, whistling and trying to pick her up, to take her out for bad purposes. That's a pitiful sight, to see that Satan has caged in the human race.

48    There is nothing could save it but a Character that could come over the top all of that. That, that, there was nothing in it, and That had to come from that pure Fountain of Almighty God.

52    You know, a woman is a type of church. We're the Bride. The church is the Bride. There's a lot of brides. And yet, they let them women entice them. The ministers today let them churches pull them off from the truth. And what does she do? She cuts his hair; she cuts off his power; she has her way.

Not against my sisters, if God could've give a man a better thing than a wife, He'd have give him that. But not all women are wives, not all women are--or not all females are mothers. Not all that have children are mothers. I've seen some I had better respects for a dog, take their kids and set them out on the street, and lay out on... People coming out in these little old clothes and things on, and immorally dressed...

THE.UNFAILING.REALITIES.OF.THE.LIVING.GOD_  JEFF.IN  V-16 N-1  SUNDAY_  60-0626

  156    I seen a men going down the street. Yesterday. I was going downtown for something, there I seen man after man, walking down the street, with his young pretty wife, with little old clothes on, looked horrible. That ain't a man; that's a sissy. Anybody would let his wife dress like that, ain't much of a man. Oh, he may have muscles like; that's brute; that's animal.

A man is character. Jesus, the greatest Man ever lived, He was just a little bitty Guy, was no beauty we should desire Him, but there never was a Character ever presented to the earth like Jesus Christ.

59    And we call an old sow, call her a sow, and an old female dog, a slut. And a lot of these pretty-faced women around here is lower in the sight of God, ten million times than an old slut dog or a sow. That's exactly. That sounds flat; that's the reason people don't like it. That's when Jesus told them the truth; they turned away from Him. But the hour has come, and now is, that the Father is wanting something to worship Him in the Spirit, and walk in the Spirit, and live in the Spirit, and tell the truth.
 
*GOD CAME DOWN, AND THE CHARACTER OF GOD WAS CHRIST. HE, HE WAS THE REFLECTION. HE WAS GOD, MADE VISIBLE. NOTICE, GOD MADE VISIBLE.

IDENTIFICATION_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-14  SUNDAY_  64-0216

  51      Then, see, God came down, and the character of God was Christ. He, He was the reflection. He was God, made visible. Notice, God made visible.

52    "In the beginning was God." He wasn't even God then. No. God is an "object of worship." Only thing He was, was the Eternal. And in Him was attributes, and those attributes were thoughts. And those thoughts was expressed to Words, and Word was made manifest.

53    What is it? It's all God, becoming tangible, and you are a part of God. And Jesus come to redeem those that was put on the Lamb's Book of Life, before the foundation of the world. It was in God's thoughts, and that's what He come to redeem. And them, as soon as It strikes to them, they see It, because the Life is in there.

54    But if the Life isn't in there, then what can they do? See? They don't see It. They'll never see It. See?

55    And the whole thing, as Jesus said, "At that day, you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in Me; I in you, and you in Me." The whole thing is God, becoming material. Like a husband and wife becoming one, together, God and His Church becoming One.

  61      Now, this reflected His loving, noble character, God reflected in a Man, called Christ. He was only one that could do this. There was no other character in Heaven could do it, see, was God. He was the sinless nature. He was the Word, sinless nature of God. He was the Word expressed. Which, the Word was the beginning.

62    And if you are in the Lamb's Book of Life, you was God's expression from His thought. He seen you and seen your desire, before there even was an atom, or anything else, and you are His thought made word, and expressed in what you are now. Amen. That's God, in you, reflecting Christ today. You know what I mean?
 
*THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU WILL EVER BE ABLE TO EXPRESS GOD'S WORD, THAT YOU BELIEVE IT AND WATCH IT ACT BEHIND YOU, YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE THAT SINLESS NATURE THAT COME FROM GOD.

  74      Notice, to be no mistakes. His sinless Nature expressed God's Word. And the only way that you will ever be able to express God's Word, that you believe It and watch It act behind you, you will have to have that sinless Nature that come from God. Before the foundation of the world, you was recognized with Him. Before the Word can ever express Itself through you, it takes a sinless Nature to do that.

75    So much, till, He was the Word in full. The Word of God flowed through Him so freely that even He could speak a Word, it would create. See, that showed Who He was. Who can create, but God? See, God is the only creator there is. And He was so perfect in harmony, Him and the Word was so perfectly together, until He created, even He had, He and the Word being one.

  79      When you receive Eternal Life, there is only one form of Eternal Life. That's the Greek word, Zoe. Is that right, brother? [The brother says, "Yes."--Ed.] Zoe, "God's Own Life." So you, being a son, you become part of that Life. So the Life that's in you never did begin and It never can end. Think of it. It can't end, because anything that's Eternal never began. The Life that's in you never did begin, that is, if you've got Eternal Life. And that's God, for you was in His thought from the Eternal, and now it's expressed here in a human being, for His glory. Jesus came to redeem that, being the Son, the fulness of God had to come and become that. The sinless character of God did that, that He might redeem these other thoughts that was to come to Him, to make a Wife. See what I mean? Oh, it's a glorious story! We ain't... oughtn't to get on that, anyhow. Let's go on. All right.

Now This is the mirror that you want to do like that little boy did, look into. Let's look into This and see if can see ourself reflected by some Bible character. See what they did under certain circumstances, and see what we are doing now. Now get me real close now, see what your present character as a Christian is.

92    Now you can judge. That won't make nobody judge you; you judge yourself, see. Nobody is judging you. I'm not passing judgment. But let's just reflect, see how it reflects from some characters of the Bible, as we mention them, and see what your character is at this present time. Now notice, the--the--the Word creates a character, we know that, now we look into His mirror and identify ourself by some--some person in the Bible.

Eph 5:9  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 

Eph 5:10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 

Eph 5:11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 

Eph 5:12  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 

Eph 5:13  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 

Eph 5:14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 

Eph 5:15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 

Eph 5:16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 

Eph 5:17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 

Eph 5:18  And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 

Eph 5:19  Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 

Eph 5:20  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 

Eph 5:21  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 

Eph 5:22  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 

Eph 5:23  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 

Eph 5:24  Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 

Eph 5:25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 

Eph 5:26  That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 

Eph 5:27  That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 

Eph 5:28  So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 

Eph 5:29  For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 

Eph 5:30  For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 

Eph 5:31  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 

Eph 5:32  This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 

Eph 5:33  Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. 

 

24-1021P_FAITHFUL SERVICE UNTO THE LORD PT-7 (DEEPLY SINCERE)

Jud 1:1  Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: 

Jud 1:2  Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. 

Jud 1:3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 

Psa 89:1  Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 

Psa 89:2  For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 

Psa 89:3  I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 

Psa 89:4  Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 

Psa 89:5  And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 

Psa 89:6  For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? 

Psa 89:7  God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. 

Psa 89:8  O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 

Psa 89:9  Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 

Psa 89:10  Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 

Psa 89:11  The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 

Psa 89:12  The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 

Psa 89:13  Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 

Psa 89:14  Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 

Psa 89:15  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 

Psa 89:16  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 

Psa 89:17  For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 

Psa 89:18  For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. 

Psa 89:19  Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 

Psa 89:20  I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 

 

*BUT THEN ANY MAN THAT'S DEEPLY SINCERE… DEEPLY SINCERE, GOD'S UNDER OBLIGATION THEN TO YOU.

THE.ANGEL.OF.THE.COVENANT_  PHOENIX.AZ  MONDAY_  54-0301

  E-22    And sometimes, some of your own household will be the one that'll discourage you first, when you're claiming God's promise for yourself.

But then any man that's deeply sincere, as you, you, or any of you here tonight, would be to come in here for this meeting, deeply sincere, God's under obligation then to you. If you've made your effort, God's under obligation to make His effort.
 
*YOU MUST LOOK TO WHAT GOD HAS SAID AND WHAT HE PROMISED, AND SEE HIM TO DO IT, THEN THAT'S YOUR ULTIMATE RIGHT THERE.

61      Even to our confessions! Now, I want you people that are coming, or here and hold... or on the--the tape, I want you to listen close now for a moment to this quotation. It--it...

62    Unless you are deeply sincere! And you cannot be sincere until you're positive understand. If you're presuming, or guessing, or hoping so, then there cannot be a depths of sincerity that God requires. It, faith, is not a "hope so" or "it could be right." It's got to be absolutely "Amen!" It's your ultimate. It--it--it's your--it's your absolute. It's the thing that you're tied to. See? You have come to your ultimate, that "It is the Truth and there's... It's nothing but the truth, and It must be thus!" And then when you realize that in your mind, then you've got to approach It with your whole life, soul, body, all that's in you, just completely sell out everything to it. As Jesus so graciously taught us in the man buying pearls, and he found the One of great price and he sold all his others to get to It. All the truths and everything that he had, thought they were good pearls, he--he... this One meant all to him. And when you find God's Ultimate, His Word, a promise upon a certain thing, you must know first that it is God's Word, that the thing that you're seeing being done is God. There--there's no--there's no "maybe so, it could be, it looks like it might be." "It is God!" Then when you get to that spot, then that's the Pearl of great price, you must get away from anything that anybody else tells you contrary to It. You must not look to what man has achieved. You must look to what God has said and what He promised, and see Him to do it, then that's your Ultimate right there. And then everything that you are, everything that you was, everything that you hope to be, must be placed upon This just as though it was death and life to you at that moment.
 
*YOUR MOTIVES AND YOUR OBJECTIVE, PLACE THAT ON GOD. THEN SEARCH FOR HIS PLACE, FIND WHERE HE SAID, AND BRING IT THERE.

GOD'S.ONLY.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_  SHP.LA  V-7 N-4  SUNDAY_  65-1128M

108      Now, you can't take this... your sincerity and all that you want to confess, you just can't take it to the Methodist altar, to a Baptist altar, to a Pentecostal altar, but there is a altar somewhere that He chose that He... to put His Name in it, and He would meet you at that place. Now, if you get everything running just right, it's going to run; everything's set in order. If there's a short in that wire, that light won't come on; because it's been grounded. And when you'll take one of God's Words or one of His places, and in your own heart have selfish objectives, it'll ground the power of God right there. If you do it because you want to be smart, you want to be different from somebody else, or something, right there it's grounded, it'll blow the fuse. You're wrong. You've got to come with sincerity, with all your heart. Your motives and your objective, place that on God. Then search for His place, find where He said, and bring it there. See?
 
*YOU'VE GOT TO PUT YOUR HEART IN IT; YOU GOT TO BE SINCERE. YOU'VE GOT TO MEET GOD…

FROM.THAT.TIME_  KLAMATH.FALLS.OR  SATURDAY_  60-0716

E-76    That's about the way serving the Lord, you know. You've got to put your heart in it; you got to be sincere. You've got to meet God, not go to church and make some cold, dry-eyed confession; go down there and stay down there...

…We come through; we stayed there at the altar, and the old mammies around us crying and praying and beating us on the back until something happened. We stayed there until we died, and was borned again, and become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Yes, sir. Too bad we got... We got to meet God. When man meets God, it's different. He's a... He's a different person from then on.
 
 

AS.I.WAS.WITH.MOSES.SO.I.WILL.BE.WITH.THEE_  JEFF.IN  V-16 N-2  SUNDAY_  60-0911M

86    I draw here with my finger a arch, a rainbow. That's a covenant God made with people. He made a covenant with the human race: He'd destroy the world no more with water. He made a covenant with each one of His apostles. He made a covenant with the prophet.

And yonder, some fifteen, fourteen, fifteen years ago (in 1937, May the 7th, 1937, I think it was), that God made a covenant with me saying, "You were born in this world to pray for sick people. If you can get them to believe you..." My heart was always been for the people. "If you'll get those people to believe you, and then be sincere when you pray, nothing will stand before your prayer."
I say this with sincerity and with a shame face. If there's anybody ought to have faith, would be me; to see what He done, where He brought me from, the ditch where I was hewed from; to see down through life, what He's done; see when I stand and say something, God will come right around and back it up, truth.

GETTING.IN.THE.SPIRIT_  CHICAGO.IL  FRIDAY_  61-0428

E-47    …And that's what we've tried to do for two thousand years. And Pentecostal people, you're doing the same thing, trying to pick Him up by organization. You'll never do it, separating yourself from other brothers. You've got to come back, and we got to be one. I don't care if the man's wrong. If he's wrong and sincere in his heart and you're right in your belief and--and you're wrong in the--acting the way you're acting. I'd rather be in his place than be in yours. That's right.

I'd rather be wrong in my doctrine and right in my heart. God will respect it more. So if a man is wrong, what of it? Help him. He needs help. Love him. If you can't love your enemy the same as you love those who love you, you're no better off than the publicans. That's right. That's what the Church has failed to get. I hope you get it tonight. I hope you see what I'm talking about.
 
  E-48    It's back to love, redeeming love. All the other things are fine, but we got to come back to fellowship with one another. And people said I fight organizations. I do not. I fight that system in there that's breaking up brotherhood. I've always done it. And I always will do it. That's right.
 
 
286    Some things, the Scriptures I had written down here, I never even touched; It went plumb off of them. I was led out there by the Holy Spirit. See? Some of the Scriptures, I never even touched to; I just went off on another thing altogether, once in a while hearing something come, turn over and find where it was at.

The Spirit speaking in every direction now. Oh, people, be honest, be sincere. Don't try to rest upon... See, you're--you're looking for something great and shiny, when all the prophets... Even David said at the coming of the Lord that every mountain would be brought low and the--and the low places would be made high, said the mountains would skip like little rams and all the leaves would clap their hands. Why, what did the people think that would be when the--Jesus came? What did it turn out to be? An old humble preacher, had no education, at nine years old went into the wilderness, not to be trained by man, but to be trained of God. Came out and stood with a piece of sheepskin wrapped around him with wool all over his face, furry all over, and hair hanging down his neck, living out in the wilderness off of locusts (that's grasshoppers), wild locusts and honey when he lived in the wilderness... and come and stood in the mud on the banks and proclaimed the coming of the Messiah. And the Messiah walked right down, an ordinary Man among the people, and was baptized.
 

A.TRUE.SIGN.THAT'S.OVERLOOKED_  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-2  SUNDAY_  61-1112

  288    And all the prophets declared it to be one of the greatest things that ever happened; and it was. See? They look for something great, shiny, something to take place. See? The Holy Spirit doesn't shine; It glows. Shine is of the world. Glow is of God.

Psa 89:21  With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 
Psa 89:22  The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 
Psa 89:23  And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 
Psa 89:24  But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 
Psa 89:25  I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 
Psa 89:26  He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 
Psa 89:27  Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 
Psa 89:28  My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 
Psa 89:29  His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 
Psa 89:30  If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 
Psa 89:31  If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 
Psa 89:32  Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 
Psa 89:33  Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 
Psa 89:34  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 
Psa 89:35  Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 
Psa 89:36  His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 
Psa 89:37  It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 
Psa 89:38  But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 
Psa 89:39  Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 
Psa 89:40  Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 
Psa 89:41  All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 
Psa 89:42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 
Psa 89:43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 
Psa 89:44  Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 
Psa 89:45  The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 
Psa 89:46  How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 
Psa 89:47  Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 
Psa 89:48  What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 
Psa 89:49  Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? 
Psa 89:50  Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 
Psa 89:51  Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 
Psa 89:52  Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
