DEMONOLOGY.RELIGIOUS.REALM_ CONNERSVILLE.IN DE 41-78 TUESDAY_ 53-0609A
29 Now, let's go to our subject right quick.
Yesterday we studied the technique of demons. I've been thinking today, as God
dealing. You don't know what a liberty it is to get out. Now, I'm not a
teacher; I'm a long ways from being a Bible expositor. And I am... My education
is limited to a seventh grade, so that's... And, that, I come out of school
about twenty-five years ago, so that's a long time off. And I don't have--had
very much of an education, but all that I know is what I receive through
inspiration.
And if that inspiration doesn't compare with the Bible, then it's wrong. See? It's got to be the Bible. No matter what inspiration it is, it's got to come... Here is God's Foundation. No other foundation is laid but This. And what This is, if what I would say would be contrary to This, you let my words be a lie, because This is the Truth. See, see? And if an angel would tell you something that'd be different from This, Paul said, "Let him be unto you accursed." Even an angel of light... Now, there's many great things. I only... the only... I chose two days, 'cause to get this subject to the people, that was yesterday and today, of the afternoon meeting.

268 A prophet is God's reflector. How many knows that? The--the reflector doesn't reflect itself, the--the reflector isn't the reflection. There has to be something strike the reflector--reflector to make it reflect. So a prophet is a chosen vessel of God that cannot reflect nothing at all but he's in direct line with that reflection, God, to reflect the image of Christ the Word. See, nothing else can do it. You are a reflector, that's the reason the prophet had to eat the book. That's the reason he had to eat the scroll. He had to reflect that Word for that age. You got it?
GOD'S.ONLY.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ SHP.LA V-7 N-4 SUNDAY_ 65-1128M
269 Notice Enoch, God's
perfect reflector in type. When God was through--through with him, He just
translated him, took him up. The mechanics that he had reflected become dynamics
with the Spirit, and took him up.
270 Same in the days of Elijah. Elijah, even to his bones, where that reflection... Reflector of God in his body being made manifest the Word of God. They laid a dead man on it, he sparked to life again. We are flesh and bone of Him, as long as we are the Bride of Christ. Do you believe that? All right. He died for us, and we died to ourselves and are buried in His Name, that we would "no more be of the world, but in Him," of which both the family in Heaven is named after Jesus Christ. That's Ephesians 1:21. For both Heaven... the family in Heaven. What's the family in Heaven named? Jesus. What's the family on earth named? Well, that's the house of God where the Blood's at. Is that right? That's the door, that's the gate, that's the place He put His Name, and the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us. It's the Word reflecting and sparking off the age that you're living in. That's what He was, that's what Moses was, that's what Jacob was, that's what the rest of them was, sparking off that Word of God, the reflector that God was reflecting Himself. And come to that perfect image of God, Jesus Christ, God's Masterpiece; was struck that He might take the rest of them for a Bride that's been reflecting Him.
GOD'S.ONLY.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ SHP.LA V-7 N-4 SUNDAY_ 65-1128M
271 Moses was in Him. Joshua was in Him. And if you are in Him, you was in Him before the foundation of the world, the family of God; you suffered with Him, you died with Him, you went to the cross with Him, you raised with Him; and now you're still with Him, setting in Heavenly places, reflecting the Message of the age to the world, the Light of the world. "Ye are the Light of the world," but if it's hid by a denominational bushel basket, how are, they going to see It? For your traditions, you make the Light of no effect! By trying... You denominationals, trying to keep the Light away from your church; you won't go in, neither will you let them. Amen.

If you're more blessed when you're dead, and you can do more for the Lord when you're dead than when you're alive, well, go ahead and die. But God wants you here to fulfill His program. The grou--... The Bible said, "Above all things, I would that you'd prosper in health." That's Scripture, "... above all things, that you'd prosper in health." The writers of the Scripture, inspired by the Holy Spirit, which the Scripture says, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God." Amen.

E-52 Watch just a moment. When Abel, by inspiration come, no beauty, but he come in inspiration... He had no Bible to tell him it was a lamb. But God revealed to him it was a lamb, no inspiration to tell him that it wasn't... Cain said, "Well now (reasoning), it's fruit, we... They must've eat apples, so I'll bring fruits an offering, and Jehovah will receive this because it looks better than what that would be, so Jehovah will receive this."
BY.FAITH.MOSES_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 58-0720M
E-17 Now, we lose our glory, if we lose faith.
Now, if we get away from faith, then we take the church into an intellectual
realm. And many times, it's been thought amongst people, that because a
congregation was large, and they had great churches, great steeples, and a
great lot of well-dressed and groomed peoples, and a lot of finances, that they
could afford such things, we many times, thought that was inspiring--that this
certain church must be inspired. Or we've often referred to different
ministers, who get out on the field and have great gatherings of crowds, and we
think, sometimes, that they are the signs of inspiration. But that's not
altogether the truth. That's human inspiration.
But the real inspiration comes by
doing the will of God (See?), whether it is a one or just a handful. Whether it
is a big church or a small church, it matters not. Whether he is a great
eloquent speaker or just a man that hardly knows his ABC's, it doesn't matter.
It depends on the message that he brings, whether it is inspired by the Word of
God or is it inspired by intellectuals conceptions of human inspiration.
Some people can be inspired because of an eloquent speaker. That doesn't make it right. Sometimes they're inspired, because the man is so trained, till he could put his point over. That doesn't mean that it's of God. See? It's only through God's everlasting, eternal, blessed Word can we receive inspiration, and that's given by the Holy Ghost. By faith we receive it.
ABSOLUTE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1230M
21-2 I remember when I read Zane Gray's
"Lone Star Ranger." I tore up two or three brooms for mama, riding
around the house a-galloping, when I was on this hobbyhorse broom. I--I read
that story of--of the lone star ranger, and how he brought the justice to the
Big Bend.
Then I read Edgar Rice Burroughs'
fiction story of "Tarzan and the Apes." Mother had an old fur rug, a
sealskin rug or something that Mrs. Wathen had give her from the fire. And it
laid on her room. And I--I--I took that rug out... Mama done knowed the wind
didn't blow it out. And I took it out, and cut it up, and made me a Tarzan
suit; and set up in the tree. I--I lived half my time in a tree out in this
Tarzan suit, because I had seen what he done; I wanted to do it too.
But one day, by the grace of God, I got ahold of the real Book, the Bible. My song and story has been: "To be like Jesus; on earth I long to be like Him." I don't want to be a bishop, or a--or some great fellow in the church, some pope, or some priest, I want to be like Jesus.
ABSOLUTE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1230M
22-2 An absolute, it makes you different. There's something about it to read His Word and... Something in your heart you long to be like Him. You're certain... It's like...
A.PRISONER_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0717
125 Like "Father Chiniquy," if you ever read his books. All right. He's "going to deliver all the Protestants," you know, and he become one, himself. So, this great priest, years ago, "Father Chiniquy," you ought to get his book and read it. They call him, "father." He's just Brother Chiniquy, what it was. We don't call no man "father," like that. So we find that--that we... He was going to read the Bible, so he could get out there and disprove the Protestant religion and make it all Catholic. And when he went to read the Bible, the Holy Spirit come upon him, and he got the Holy Ghost, and then--then he become one of them.

E-39 Notice this now. As this Shunammite woman,
she said to her husband, "You know there is a holy man that comes by to
see us. And let us, I pray thee, build just a little chamber on the side of the
house for him. In other words, we want to be just as close to him when he's in
this neighborhood as we can be. We know he's a Jew and we're Gentiles. But yet
he's a holy man, and we recognize him to be that way. We believe he's a
truthful man. And so, we've got enough money to do that, so let's just build us
a little chamber on the side of our house, and put a little stool in there, a
little bed, that when he comes by... And some water, pitcher and so forth, he
can refresh hisself, and lie down and stretch out." How God foreknows all
things and making preparations for it... Amen.
God knows all things. He's
omnipotent. He's omnipresent. He's omniscient. He knows all things when the
world... Before there ever was a star in the heavens, before there ever was a
light in the firmament, God knew every prophet that ever lived or everything
that men and women would ever do. He's infinite. And how that He warns His
people to get things ready like in the antediluvian destruction, like He's
getting people ready today, like He got that woman ready. Watch what that little
bed did later. Hallelujah.
INSPIRATION_ OWENSBORO.KY SATURDAY_ 56-0128
E-40 Notice. She built the bed because she was inspired to do so. And when God gives you a revelation to do something, and if it's the right thing for whatever you do, do it. Don't wait till tomorrow. Do it when God says do it. She was able to do it.
INSPIRATION_ OWENSBORO.KY SATURDAY_ 56-0128
E-41 This little woman said,
"I believe." In other words, if I could put it like this... This may
be drama. "Husband, this is a godly man, and something just tells me that
I should do something for him. So I'm going to ask you; you're the husband and
the head of the house, so I'm going to ask you if you will permit me to have
the carpenters to come and build just a little room there for this holy man.
And somehow, husband, I think we ought to buy him a little bed and put it in
that room. Wouldn't it be nice now? I just feel led to do so."
INSPIRATION_ OWENSBORO.KY SATURDAY_ 56-0128
E-48 It come to be about twelve
years old, and one day while he was out in the field with his father, probably
in his seventies, an old man, and was out there in the harvest, because he was
probably a rich man, he must've got a sun stroke or something. He begin to cry
out, "My head, my head." And he had asked one of the servants to take
him in to the mother, and the mother set him on her lap till it got about
noontime, and the baby died, the little child.
Now, the baby's dead. What good
did the baby do her if God gave her the baby and then here He takes it away
from her? So you know what she did? If she'd been just a lukewarm church
member, she would've got bitter right then. But being that she wasn't, she was
blessed of God, because she'd made preparations. When that happened, she took
the baby (Look what she did.), took the baby out the door, down the street, and
around the corner, and took him in Elijah's room, and laid him on Elijah's bed.
What a place to put him (Amen.), on Elijah's bed?
Look, I'm trying to say that the
woman was inspired. And inspired people through all ages act strange to the
world, but they're always doing God's will. It was a strange thing that Paul
taken handkerchiefs off his body and aprons, and sent to the sick and afflicted.
Something inside... Oh, I wish I could get you to see it. Something...
Now, what--what if the doctor
standing there? Here come the mother with this stiff, dead baby, fell in the
sun stroke, and his eyes walled way back, and his mouth open, his tongue out.
And here she comes packing him, dead, going around to lay him in the preacher's
bed. Why, he'd say, "You fanatic." She wouldn't have paid any
attention to it. She was doing exactly what her inspiration was telling her to
do.
INSPIRATION_ OWENSBORO.KY SATURDAY_ 56-0128
E-53 When Jesus come off the Mount
Transfiguration... Let's seal this right now. When Jesus come down off of Mount
Transfiguration, He said to the apostles; He said, "Who does men say I the
Son of man am?"
One of them said, "You're
Elijah."
And the other one said,
"You're the Prophet."
Another one said, "You're
Jeremiah."
He said, "But Who do you say
I am?"
And Peter said, "Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God."
He said, "Blessed art thou Simon: for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you. And upon this rock I'll build My church; and the gates of hell can't prevail against it."
INSPIRATION_ OWENSBORO.KY SATURDAY_ 56-0128
E-54 That's what the Shunammite
woman was going by. It was unreasonable to take a dead baby to that preacher's
bed. But inspiration spoke. And if inspiration'd speak to you and say that
you've been playing church, if inspiration tells you tonight it's time to get
rid of your dirty habits, listen to inspiration. It's the Holy Spirit speaking
and making a way. Don't never turn it down, if it's anything... Unless it's
contrary to God's Word. And anything that you do clean and righteous is--is in
accordance with God's Word. It's in accord. Amen.
No matter what the people think, what others say, it's the inspiration leading you, if it's according to the Word. And if it's according to the Word then the inspiration is a leading you.
INSPIRATION_ OWENSBORO.KY SATURDAY_ 56-0128
E-55 And she takes the baby;
she goes around and she lays it on her bed--on his bed. What took place? Her
husband came in. They were weeping and screaming and going on; the baby was
dead. But the woman... Amen. I love this. Her faith was in action. She's just
as cool as she could be. Something had struck her in that crucial moment.
Something had taken a hold. And if something would take a hold in the time of
death in the family, what more ought to take hold tonight when the coming of
the Lord Jesus Christ is at hand?
Something struck her:
inspiration. She walked around; she took the little fellow, laid him on the
prophet's bed. And her husband said, "Oh, dear, oh, dear, what will we
do?"
She said, "All is well, husband." Amen. Her faith sprung her to action. And no matter how much, sister, you in the wheelchair, believe that God is a Healer, if your faith can't go to action, you'll always be in the wheelchair. But when your faith can take action to a place that down in your soul that says so, not reasoning, but something in here says so, then, brother, something takes place. You begin moving. 'Cause it's impossible for it not to be. That's true.
INSPIRATION_ OWENSBORO.KY SATURDAY_ 56-0128
E-66 Notice. He went to the room. Quickly now,
as we close... He went to the room where the baby was; he didn't know. He
walked up-and-down the floor, and up-and-down the floor, the people outside
raging and going on. He walked up-and-down the floor, back and forth, until the
Spirit anointed him real deep. He run over and throwed hisself on that baby,
put his lips against its lips, and its head against his head, his nose against
its nose, his hands against his hand, and the Spirit of God come through him
onto that baby, and like laying hands on the sick or whatevermore. And the baby
sneezed seven times and come to life. The woman's inspiration was paying off.
Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
