26-0102A_THE STATURE OF A PERFECT MAN PT-30 (PARTAKERS OF CHRIST'S DIVINE NATURE)
2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2Pe 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2Pe 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
2Pe 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
2Pe 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Col 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Col 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
Eph 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Jud 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Jud 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jud 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Jud 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Jud 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Jud 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Luk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Luk 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Luk 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
*IF A BROTHER'S ALL OUT OF TUNE, DON'T BE
IMPATIENT WITH HIM. SEE? NO. SEE? BE KIND TO HIM.

45-3 All right. Coming in to
perfection now... All right. Then sixthly, let's add, the Bible said here, adding brotherly love--brotherly kindness. Now, that's
a good one. Right here, the sixth one--seventh. All right, adding brotherly
kindness. All right. When we get to that, brotherly
kindness, put yourself in his place on the matter. Now, you say,
"My brother sinned against me," said Peter, "Shall I forgive
him?" He said, "Seven times a day?"
He said, "Seventy times seven." See, brotherly kindness. Now, you see, if a brother's all out of tune, don't be impatient with him. See? No. See? Be kind to him. Go anyhow.
*...THEN COME IN BROTHERLY KINDNESS THROUGH THE LAODICEA.

.....Paul,
Irenaeus, Martin, then in Thyatira come Columba. Remember, here it is drawed
out right there.
Columba, after Columba, the dark ages come in there, then come Sardis, which
means death: Luther. Hallelujah. What then? What come next? After Sardis, Luther.
Then comes Philadelphia: godliness: Wesley, holiness. "Just shall live
by faith," said Luther, sanctification through Wesley, then come in brotherly kindness through the Laodicea. And we believe the great message of
the second appearing of Elijah in the last days shall sweep the land.
48-1 See, these fellows wasn't required, what these fellows was. This wasn't required what this was. See, but He brought His church up the same way. He brought His--His church up the same way he's bringing His people up. Then Peter here says first (seven things) faith, virtue (See, coming up), knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly love, and brotherly kindness and then the love of God, the Holy Ghost. Christ in the Person of the Holy Ghost comes upon you in the true baptism of the Holy Ghost, and you got all these virtues sealed in you, then God lives in a tabernacle called the building, the living Tabernacle of the living God's dwelling place.
*WE CAN OBTAIN BROTHERLY KINDNESS AND FEELING FOR ONE ANOTHER.

Now, you might
say, "Look, I--I--I sure don't like Brother Neville," or, "I
sure don't like Brother Jones; I don't like Brother So-and-so," and
something like that. But just
let something happen to him; brother, your heart's broke. It just nearly kills
you. See? We can obtain brotherly kindness and feeling for one
another. See?
But to maintain in a group of people...
Why do you care for that brother? Because
you broke bread with him here at the altar, as you will tonight; you fellowship
with him; you shook his hands; you worship with him. He's your brother. And he might do
something in the flesh that you would disagree with, cause you just kind of
stay (which you oughtn't to do but)--shun him a little. But in the bottom of your heart, if something happened to
that brother, it would just nearly kill you, or that sister.
I'm--I'm an old man. I was once young and now I'm old. I've seen it down through the age do that. Hear people say, "Well, I just won't have no more to do with him." And something happen to that man, it nearly kills him; he thinks, "Oh, God, I let my precious brother go without making friends with him (You see?) again." See? See, it's brotherly love. It looks like it won't stick, but it does stick. The honey, it sticks.
*WAIT TILL GENUINELY FROM
YOUR HEART YOU CAN FORGIVE, TILL IN YOUR HEART YOU HAVE BROTHERLY KINDNESS.

253 You know, in the old days before
they had smelters, the--the goldsmith used to beat the gold with a hammer. I
guess you've heard of it. Before it went to the smelter, they beat it. And gold
is the heaviest material; it's heavier than lead. And so I've done a little
prospecting, and you can take in the sands in the wash in the deserts, and rub
your hands over the sand, and then (whoosh) blow like that, and the dust and
everything will fly away, the rocks, but gold is so heavy it lays there. And
then when you pick up that gold, it's rolled through so much dirt until it's
accumulated a lot. And through the volcanic ages as it accumulated up, it got
sludge and everything, iron pyrite and other materials mixed with it. The beater used to take this lump of gold and beat it and
turn it, and beat it and turn it, until he beat all the dross out of it. And you know how he knowed that he had
all the dross out? He could see his own
image reflected in it.

254 And that's the way God does the Church. He beats every creed, every denomination, every man-made dogma, until He sees His Own Life reflecting in you. "If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not." See? If what is purposed to the Church, the Life that was in Christ isn't reflecting in you, don't you stand still if you haven't got patience, virtue, all these things, and temperance, and--and things, and godliness, and brotherly kindness, and all these things that's required of you. No matter what you've done, no matter how much you've shouted, how many churches you've joined, how many feathers you've pinned into yourself, don't do it. Wait till genuinely from your heart you can forgive, till in your heart you have brotherly kindness. No matter if they pull a handful of beard from one side, you could turn the other cheek with sweetness (See?), until those virtues, no matter what they say to you...
*...THE FAITH THAT YOU'VE GOT
IN HIM ADD TO THAT VIRTUE, AND TO THAT BROTHERLY KINDNESS (II PETER 1:7), UNTIL
YOU'RE BUILT IN THE FULL STATURE OF CHRIST...
ALL.THINGS_ SHREVEPORT.LA SATURDAY_ 62-1124E
E-37 If you'd come seeking the Holy Spirit, and let Him, the faith that you've got in Him add to that virtue, and
to that brotherly kindness (II Peter 1:7), until you're built in the full
stature of Christ, then the last thing is love, which
God, the Holy Spirit, seals you to your destination.
You can't impersonate.
You can impersonate it, but as I said last night, it's just like a--a blackbird
putting peacock feathers in his wings and saying, "See, I'm a
peacock." He just added them, pushed them in. If there's something on the
inside of him, made him push them out, he'd actually be a peacock. Certainly.
But some people are trying to do something to look like somebody else, or
impersonate somebody else, because they thought they did it. And you see what
it does? It brings us back into a ritual and form again. It's the Blood, the Life that electrifies and sanctifies
your life. That's right.
Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
