26-0116A_THE STATURE OF A PERFECT MAN PT-31 (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.
2Pe 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
*THAT IS THE TABLET THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
WORE IN THE CHURCH: BROTHERLY LOVE, KINDNESS, FELLOWSHIP.
THE.SECOND.COMING.OF.THE.LORD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-2 WEDNESDAY_ 57-0417
56 Today, if a woman is married, she should wear a wedding ring as a sign
that she's married. That's to keep other men from having anything to do with
her. They look and they see she's a married woman.
In those days, they didn't have wedding rings; they had a tablet (They call it "tablet.") they
put on their head. It had ten coins, and it went around their head. And that
was a sign they were a married woman, and no man was to fool with them; no
boys was to flirt with them. They were married.
Each one of those coins... If we only have time (but I haven't, I'm going to try to keep my word as close as possible), I could tell you what each one of those coins meant. It was placed in there, and each coin meant a certain virtue of that woman. The first, meaning her love to her husband. Second, her pledge of virtue to live clean for him. And the third and fourth and fifth, on to the ninth and tenth...

59 If you want to look it up, look
in Galatians 5. You'll find out that that woman represented the Church, and the
Church is an espoused Wife to Christ. And the tablet that the Church is
supposed to wear is found in Galatians 5, which is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience. That is the
tablet that's supposed to be wore in the Church: brotherly love, kindness,
fellowship.
61 Oh, if there ever was a time that the church ought to take inventory to find out if you've got all the coins on, it should be now. It's getting dark. The--the very haunts and clouds of destroying civilization is hanging over the earth, sin and debauch on every hand. We're living in a tremendous time, when there's wickedness, people who go to church just for a sham, people who go to church to try to hide from their meanness, people who go to church and profess Christianity and live like the rest of the world, drinking, smoking, gambling; women immorally dressed, wearing clothes that they oughtn't to wear in the--in their own dressing room, out on the streets before public. And brotherly love is a thing that's passing, almost. We have not lost one coin, but we've lost practically every one of them.
*YOU GOT TO BE LOYAL AND HONEST WITH ONE
ANOTHER, BROTHERLY LOVE, AND THEN GOD WILL BLESS YOU.
DIVINE.LOVE.AND.SOVEREIGN.GRACE_ PRINCE.ALBERT.SK TUESDAY_ 56-0814
E-6 And that's the way it is with
Jesus Christ. As a sinner, I found Him to be a Saviour. And I know that He
saves from sin. I experienced it. And I know that He heals sickness, because I
have experienced it. And tonight with all the--the respect that I can give to
Him, I can look my--the people in the face, the purchase of His Blood.
Remember, to God, you're more than the Blood of Jesus, because Jesus gave His
Blood for you. You are the purchase of His Blood. And I can look at you,
knowing that I'll meet you at the day of judgment at the end of the world, and
say this one thing: that the product that I am telling you about, Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, lives and reigns tonight; and He's just as powerful, just as
real, and just as alive as He ever was at any time. That's right. And I... If anything a man ought to be is honest. God will respect you
when you become honest.
…..Be honest; be honest with one another. If you won't be honest with one another who you can see, how are you going to be honest with God Who you don't see. See? You got to be loyal and honest with one another, brotherly love, and then God will bless you.
*… WHEN GOD COMES INTO YOU. IT'S LOVE,
BROTHERLY LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
TIME.TESTED.FAITH_ NEW.YORK.NY FRIDAY_ 58-0530
E-55 God is love, and you just can't do nothing but love, when
God comes into you. It's love, brotherly love for one another.
Now, in--on the earth, when Jesus was here... Now, God is Almighty, and He doesn't get smarter; He's the same all the time. Do you believe that? The human race gets smarter. The Bible said they would. They'd be weaker and wiser, but God is--is infinite. Do you believe that?
*THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST, IT NEEDS
HEALING. AND IT CAN ONLY BE HEALED BY BROTHERLY LOVE.
ALL.THE.DAYS.OF.OUR.LIFE_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 59-0612
E-61 …..This is a sick world, isn't it. But you know what's the sickest body on earth? I say this with reverence, not to be sacrilegious. God forgive me if I say wrong. The Body of Jesus Christ, it needs healing. And it can only be healed by brotherly love. That's the sickest Body I know of, all broke to pieces and tore up. God, I pray for the healing of that Body. And you're the members of that Body. So, God heal you physically and spiritually, make you what you should be.
*AND THE ONLY WAY WE CAN DO THAT IS UNIFY
OUR HEARTS TOGETHER WITH BROTHERLY LOVE
A.TOTAL.DELIVERANCE_ JEFF.IN V-11 N-1 SUNDAY_ 59-0712
78 Well, look what He does for us in the condition that we're in, what would He do if we were one heart and one accord? And the only way we can do that is unify our hearts together with brotherly love, obey the offices of the church and the pastor, and the pastor obey God; then God works through the pastor, through the board, down into the church, and all together are one unit to the Kingdom of God. Then God will hear when we have a unified group. Let nothing bother you. Don't be dismayed in anything.
*...DON'T YOU STAND STILL IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT PATIENCE, VIRTUE, ALL THESE THINGS & GODLINESS & BROTHERLY KINDNESS…

54 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 HONEY REPRESENTED
BROTHERLY LOVE, BROTHERLY KINDNESS, WHICH IS THIS AGE.

19-3
Now, but in this church age the Message is being poured into
the church. But
the church body itself, in altogether... Like the--this tabernacle, we'll say;
that's where she comes to church. This tabernacle is not a Holy Ghost
tabernacle. There's no such a thing. Individuals
that come into this church is Holy Ghost tabernacles. They are tabernacles that contain the
Holy Ghost, but not the church in the body of group. Therefore, It runs out.
But what, this man who was pouring the water, the messenger to the
church, pouring the Message into the church... But what was the water doing? It was boiling out all the trash that was in it. That's
what the Holy Spirit does: boils it up.
Now, now, the honey represented
brotherly love, brotherly kindness, which is this age. I just got through
telling you (See?) of brotherly kindness, the age that we live in now.
BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-21 SUNDAY_ 62-1104M
16-1 .....Now, our sister's dream now. She was worried whether she
had the Holy Ghost or not. When she laid down across the Duofold, where her
husband was reading a paper (And she's got little ones, as I have, and they're
always making a noise and things.), and so in this, she fell asleep for
approximately ten minutes or fifteen; and she dreamed. And she never could
understand it or get it altogether from a year ago almost, until this message was
taught. Then while I was teaching it, it all come back to her.
And she dreamed that she was praying. She was walking the floor first, before she dreamed, and wringing her hands, and thinking, "Lord, have I got the Holy Ghost? Can You prove to me. Some says because that--that I shouted, or some said because I spoke with tongues. (And we believe in all that.) But have I really got It?"
BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-21 SUNDAY_ 62-1104M
16-5 .....Notice, and she was worried about it, so she just laid down across the Duofold, where her husband was reading, and she went to sleep. And she dreamed she was up on a mountain. And in this mountain... The best... I haven't got the paper before me, but I think it's like this: She dreamed that she saw a--a rock box like, like a framework setting right in top of this mountain. And her husband was just behind her. And she saw a large man standing there with work clothes on, sleeves rolled up, bailing the most pure water that she ever seen and pouring into this box, this rock box setting in top of the mountain. And the rock box would not hold the water; and it rolled right out of there and just boiled up all the trash and sticks and everything in there, and boiled it out, and rolled down the mountain. And it rolled over her feet, and she was standing right in that stuff; only it didn't stick to her. And--and then she asked why the box didn't hold it, and the man said, "That is not water. That's the Holy Ghost," and said, "nothing will hold It."
BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-21 SUNDAY_ 62-1104M
17-1 And said, "Then he
went back and got another big bucket--and it was full of honey--and poured the
honey into there and said, 'Now, it'll hold this.'" And she
thought that the box was--a rock box was going to burst out and spill the honey,
but it didn't. It finally stuck together and held it.
She turned and went down the mountain. Going down the mountain, she stopped at the bottom of the mountain and looked back. She saw five streams of this pure, crystal water, not contaminated by the things that it'd went through, still pure and clear, coming swiftly. Then it slowed up; then almost fading out. And she was wondering would it ever reach the bottom of the mountain--five streams--and she woke up. I think that's just about close to being right, isn't it, Sister Shepherd?
BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-21 SUNDAY_ 62-1104M
18-3 Now, here's interpretation of her dream. She was bothered
about the Holy Spirit. Now, insomuch as she seen
the box on top of the mountain was the rock, rock box is "rock confession." Now, like Jesus said in the Scripture,
He said... Peter said... Jesus said, "Who does man say I, the Son of man,
am?"
One said, "Thou
art Elias, and Moses, and so forth."
And He said, "But
Who do you say I am?".
He said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-21 SUNDAY_ 62-1104M
18-4 Now, some people say... Now, the Catholic church says,
the Roman Catholic church says that His--what the rock was that Jesus said,
"Upon this rock I'll build My Church and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against It,"... They said it was upon Peter, and Peter was that
rock, because Peter means "little stone." "And upon this little
stone I'll build My church." And upon Peter they, apostolic succession,
they built the church.
Then the Protestant
church says, "That's wrong, that it was upon Himself He built the
church."
Now, not to be
disagreeable, but I--to my way of seeing it, it's both wrong, because He never
built It upon Peter, neither did He build It upon Himself; but it's upon
Peter's revelation of Who He was. See? "Who does man say I, the Son
of man..."
"Thou art
Christ, the Son of the living God,"
"Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonas: flesh and blood has not revealed this to you (some seminary. See?); but My Father which is in heaven has revealed to you. Thou art Peter, upon this rock (of confession, upon this revelation) I'll build My Church." And that's been...
BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-21 SUNDAY_ 62-1104M
19-1 Each church age has had that rock confession on up to this rock confession of the Laodicea. And now, you cannot make a holy church. There's no such a thing as a holy church or holy organization. The Holy Spirit can be preached in it, but in there you find good and bad, renegades, indifferent, and everything else. So a organization will not hold... You can't say, "We got It; none of the rest of them has It." No, sir. The Holy Spirit is poured out on individuals. It's the individual.

19-6 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.

20-3 Now, insomuch that she come from there, down the hill to
the bottom of the hill... Now, this glorious
water was gushing over the hills in five streams. Now, five is the number of grace: J-e-s-u-s, f-a-i-t-h,
g-r-a-c-e. See? Five is the number of grace. Five streams was
pouring from up here at the trough down through here. And each one of these
ages had that rock confession. The saints
are sleeping, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting (See?) on till this age, but soon the Holy Ghost, being poured out from
Christ, will come and will seal up the Church, then the Church will be
raptured. It'll be a complete unit of God, a Bride for Christ, who will
be the head of all things. You follow me now?
