24-1206A_THE MESSAGE OF GRACE PT-17 (INSIDE LIFE WITH CHRIST)

Heb 10:16  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 

Heb 10:17  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 

Heb 10:18  Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 

Heb 10:19  Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 

Heb 10:20  By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 

Heb 10:21  And having an high priest over the house of God; 

Heb 10:22  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 

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, 

Col 3:1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 

Col 3:2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 

Col 3:3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 

Col 3:4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 

Col 3:5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 

1Jn 4:4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 

*AND WHEN THAT ROD WAS PUT INTO THE HOLIEST OF HOLIES, INTO THE CONSECRATED PLACE OF GOD, IN THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,…..

A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  THURSDAY_  55-1110

   E-35   …..But when that man was on the outside, that old rod, it was just an ordinary stick, and it would been carried along in Aaron's hand till it was dried up; there was no life in it. That's the man that's cut off from God. That's the man that's without Christ. That's the man may be a member of a church, but knows no more about God than a Hottentot would know about a Egyptian knight; walking on.

"Oh, I belong to church." It was in Aaron's hand. Yeah, he was used, but dead. And when that rod was put into the holiest of holies, into the consecrated place of God, in the Presence of the Holy Spirit, you know what happened? It budded and blossomed, and yielded almonds, all in one night. Hallelujah.

*AND THAT'S THE WAY YOU'LL BE, OR EVERY BELIEVER THAT THROWS HISSELF,..

A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  THURSDAY_  55-1110

   E-37   …..Look what happened. Now, the first thing, it had to--it had to be refreshed to bring forth buds. It budded out. Not only did it bud, but it brought forth blossoms. Not only did it blossom, but it brought forth fruit.

And that's the way you'll be, or every believer that throws hisself, the outside, the--out of the outer courts, into the veil where Christ is, and hides your life away, you'll be refreshed, budded, blossomed, and bear fruits of the Spirit. Amen. You'll be a worker in your community. You'll be a soul winner for Jesus. You'll be a new person. Old things will pass away. Tradition of men will fail, but your heart will be burning with the love of God.

*TO A LIFE THAT'S CONSECRATED AND LAYS BEFORE GOD, IT'LL CHANGE THEM AS CERTAIN AS I'M STANDING AT THIS PLATFORM TONIGHT.

A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  THURSDAY_  55-1110

   E-38    Inside this place where they took this old rod and laid it there in the Presence of God... God living in the glory over the Cherubims, that rod all happened at once.

And brother, sister, to a life that's consecrated and lays before God, it'll change them as certain as I'm standing at this platform tonight. It'll take all the fight out of you; it'll take all the difference out of you; it'll take all the--the isms out of you. It'll make you a real Christian if you'll just get into His Presence.

Watch what taken place, a freshing, to be refreshed. Notice, the dew falls at nighttime. The world settles down. They active of nature through the day... the toils and the jumps, and the toils... But when everything quietens down, then what happens? The dew falls.

*GET ALONE IN THE QUIETNESS, AWAY FROM THE WORLD AND ALL OF ITS CARES…

E-38    …..Watch what taken place, a freshing, to be refreshed. Notice, the dew falls at nighttime. The world settles down. They active of nature through the day... the toils and the jumps, and the toils... But when everything quietens down, then what happens? The dew falls.

A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  THURSDAY_  55-1110

E-39    Of a morning, did you ever get up real early, get out real early and smell that fresh air, how it is and how refreshing everything is? The dew has fell.

Oh, brother, sister, if the only thing you know is go to church, if the only thing you know that you joined or was baptized, or something like that, why not hide your life away with Christ. Get alone in the quietness, away from the world and all of its cares, and settle down and watch what a refreshing will come.

*ONCE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, YOU GET QUIETED.

A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  THURSDAY_  55-1110

  E-40    How the thing was refreshed in the Presence... Notice another thing. Once in the Presence of God, you get quieted. You're not tossed about by everything. You know where you're standing. There's something happens. You know that you're a real Christian. You know that you've been in contact with Somebody that loves you. You know that something's happened down here, and it's refreshing. And not only that, but you'll be--you'll refresh others.

*GOD GIVES YOU A NEW SPIRIT, THEN HE SAYS, "I'LL PUT MY SPIRIT IN HIM."

A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  THURSDAY_  55-1110

He said He'd give you a new spirit. Now, that spirit isn't God's spirit; that's your spirit. God gives you a new spirit, then He says, "I'll put my Spirit in him." But the thing God has to do is give you a new spirit, make your nature a little more gentle and settle down, or He couldn't even live with you. So He has to get you fixed up first before He can come in. "I'll give you a--a new Spirit," then you take Him anywhere. You go all kinds of places. He's got to get you fixed so you can entertain Him right.

  E-41    So that's when you're on the first altar. But when you hide away, you get His Spirit. Then the Holy Spirit, none other than God Himself comes and dwells in you. And then there's something about you, the neighbor loves you. The people likes you.

Now, no matter how much you shout, or how much you try to do, if you haven't got a life that your neighbor knows that you're a Christian, there's something wrong somewhere. Now--now, let's just come down to truth now. You know that's right.

*WHETHER HE AGREES WITH YOU OR NOT, YOU LOVE HIM ANYHOW. THAT'S THE WAY YOU GOT TO DO IT. THAT'S THE HIDDEN LIFE.

A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  THURSDAY_  55-1110

  E-47    There's where the church is failing in one place: overcoming, overcoming temperance--temper, overcoming difference, overcoming church prejudice, overcoming hatred. Many people tonight who shout and speak with tongues and run up-and-down the aisle, and hate their neighbor. That has... Brother, you're lost yet. That's hard to say, but that's the truth. Right. Overcome. You can only overcome when you...

You say, "I'm eating manna, glory to God." Yes, but look what happens from one day to the other. You get the miss-meal cramps. Come on in where the manna's fresh all the time. Whether your neighbor treats you right or not, you'll love him anyhow. That's right. Whether he agrees with you or not, you love him anyhow. That's the way you got to do it. That's the hidden life. That's that consecrated life. That's that life that the veils of the worlds... And you're shut off from the things of the world. You only live in Christ. You see what I mean, church?

*THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO BE. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCE IS...IF IT'S HEARTACHES, IF IT'S TROUBLES, IF IT'S UPSETS…..YOU'RE STILL WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF GOD

A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  THURSDAY_  55-1110

  E-55    That's where we need to be. No matter what your experience is... If it's heartaches, if it's troubles, if it's upsets, if it's this, that, or the other, you're still walking in the Light of God. You're living in the Shekinah Glory, living there where Jesus is in His Presence, that "all things work together for good to them that love God." And you'll love Him, and you're walking in that mellow, soft, sweet, humble Christian life. Wouldn't you like to walk like that?

There's not a person here but what wants to live in there. And, friends, that's where you should live. If you want to know the secret of this--of Life, if you want to know why these things is... One day by the grace of God, He took me in there. That's right. That's what does it. It's nothing in yourself. You don't live for yourself no more. You live for others.
