*THE SPIRIT THAT'S WITHIN YOU MOTIVATES YOUR LIFE…BUT IF YOU ARE OF GOD, YOU'LL DO THE WAY THEY DO IN HEAVEN…

A.DECEIVED.CHURCH.BY.THE.WORLD_ JEFF.IN CH 67 SUNDAY_ 59-0628M

40 ...We're from heaven. The spirit that's within you motivates your life. If you are a American, you'll do as the Americans do. If you are French, you'll do as the French do, and criticize the other one. But if you are of God, you'll do the way they do in heaven, because your Spirit comes from above and It controls you.

*AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE, TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY TO WORK THROUGH, AND WHEN IT FINDS SOMEBODY TO WORK THROUGH, IT CAN DO GOOD.

THE.ONENESS.OF.UNITY_ WATERLOO.IA V-2 N-7 TUESDAY_ 58-0128

8-3 …..Now, when the meeting going on, a evil spirit in the meeting, that spirit is almost harmless until it can catch somebody that it can work through. Then when it can work through, it'll certainly do damage, because it is a evil spirit. And the Holy Spirit is here, trying to find somebody to work through, and when It finds somebody to work through, It can do good.

See, the two spirits, their motives, objectives? Watch how it is. Watch their works. Watch their fruits. Then you can see what spirit is on you.

THE.ONENESS.OF.UNITY_ WATERLOO.IA V-2 N-7 TUESDAY_ 58-0128

8-6 You are motivated by spirit. If you have no spirit, you're dead. And if you have a spirit, it motivates your life. And if your life bears the fruit of a Christian, it's a Christian Spirit.

*IF WE'RE CHRISTIANS, WE HAVE A HEAVENLY SPIRIT, AND OUR SPIRIT COME FROM ABOVE THAT DIRECTS OUR LIVES AND OUR THOUGHTS.

WHO.IS.THIS_ CLARKSVILLE.IN SUNDAY_ 59-1004M

32 You'll usually do... You--you'll usually do like the spirit that's in you. It motivates your life. It makes you what you are, is the life that's in you. And when men and women claim to be Christians and still want to be like the world, there's something wrong somewhere; for we are not of this world, for our spirit...

If we were Germans, we'd like Germany. If we were Finland, we would do as they do in Finland. If they're Americans, they have the American spirit. If we're Christians, we have a heavenly Spirit, and our Spirit come from above that directs our lives and our thoughts. That's godly, brotherly love, clean life, honorable, respected peoples.

*YOUR SPIRIT, THE LIFE THAT'S IN YOU, MOTIVATES AND TELLS WHAT YOU ARE.

A.DECEIVED.CHURCH.BY.THE.WORLD_ JEFF.IN CH 67 SUNDAY_ 59-0628M

43 Oh, yes, these people call themselves Christians. They belong to churches….. We're this, that, and the other." That doesn't have one thing to do with it. Your spirit, the life that's in you, motivates and tells what you are. Jesus said, "By their fruit you shall know them."

*WE'RE EXHORTED TO HUMBLE OURSELVES.

A.DECEIVED.CHURCH.BY.THE.WORLD_ JEFF.IN CH 67 SUNDAY_ 59-0628M

45 That's the same thing the church has done. It's adopted... Here you are. It's adopted politics, educations. It's adopted organizations, societies, big churches, high cafluting preachers. And when the real King comes, they don't know Him, and they're crucifying the very Holy Ghost that's their King. They don't know Him, but they laugh at Him and make fun of Him. As they--Jews did their Messiah, the church is doing their Messiah the same way. They don't know it. They haven't got the spiritual insight, because they're so indocumated with their eyes and what they see, great buildings, trying to compare with the world. We're never exalt--exhorted to compare with the world. We're exhorted to humble ourselves.

*ARE WE TRUE TO GOD? ARE WE TRUE TO HIS WORD? DO WE STAND UNDER TEST OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? THAT'S THE MAIN THING.

A.DECEIVED.CHURCH.BY.THE.WORLD_ JEFF.IN CH 67 SUNDAY_ 59-0628M

46 And one is the majority in God. And today in the healing evangelists out on the fields, there's such a competiting--competitors. One says, "Well, bless God, I have so many thousand. I got a bigger meeting than you have." What difference does that make? If we have one or one million, what difference does it make? Are we true to God? Are we true to His Word? Do we stand under test of the Holy Spirit? Is it true? That's the main thing.

*THE LIFE THAT'S IN YOU MOTIVATES YOU.

WHERE HAS THY STRENGTH GONE_ 59-0702

E-20 We are not looking for these things of the world. And when the Spirit of God comes into a person, it changes them. It motivates you... The life that's in you motivates you. And what's the matter with the church today, it's become too worldly. What we need is the Holy Ghost in the human being, in the heart. It'll take the new birth to do that: change that person, making him or her a new creature.

But let me tell whether it's America, Finland, France, anywhere it is, when a woman or a man is borned of the kingdom of God, he becomes a new creature and stops the things of the world. They are dead to him; for he is dead and his life is hid in God through Christ, sealed by the Holy Ghost. What we need today is a revival, is a shaking, an old fashioned Pentecostal revival. We'd be a lot better off with a tambourine down on the corner, beating the tambourines, than to live in these big morgues with the Spirit of God being grieved away from us. The devil comes to rob and to take away. That's all he knows how to do.

* BUT YOU KNOW, GOD MADE YOU A PERSON TO MAKE YOU DESIRE TO BE THAT WAY, SO THAT HE COULD FILL YOU UP WITH HIS GOODNESS.

THE.ONENESS.OF.UNITY_ WATERLOO.IA V-2 N-7 TUESDAY_ 58-0128

7-2 After you see this great something that I'm trying to build your mind into for a context, I'm trying to let you see out here that there is a--a working of an enemy. And the working of the enemy by a perverted spirit is trying to do that which the Spirit of Christ is trying to do. The enemy is trying, like the pro and con, to unite all the world under one great head. The world's a doing that, Russia, U.N. And now, let me go just a little further. And the church is trying to do it under man-made setups.

It'll never work. It's not God's program. I can prove that by His Word. But you know, God made you a person to make you desire to be that way, so that He could fill you up with His goodness. Now, if a man has to be full of something... That's right.

*THIS IS THE CHOOSING TIME.

THE.ONENESS.OF.UNITY_ WATERLOO.IA V-2 N-7 TUESDAY_ 58-0128

7-4 This is the choosing time. You cannot stand neutral any longer. You may leave before the message is over, but you can't go out that door the same person you come in. That's right. You'll cross that threshold tonight either a better person or a--a more evil person than you was when you entered. You can't help it. It's up to you to make a decision. Now, notice. It's a choosing time. You can't be neutral.

It's a choosing time. You must choose you this day whom you're going to serve. And the devil has presented many things glamorous that you can choose if you wish to. You can't remain the way you are, because you've got to be... if you're empty...

*GOD SENT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THE EARTH TO MOTIVATE THE CHURCH.

THE.ONENESS.OF.UNITY_ WATERLOO.IA V-2 N-7 TUESDAY_ 58-0128

9-2 Now, what just happened? A re--evangelist comes through. They preach repentance, and you clean up from your sins. And then when you're cleaned up, the devil goes away from you. You take your things back that you've stole. You go, confess your wrongs to your wife or your husband. You're really cleaned up. And then the thing of it is, you're just clean and make a real good target for the devil.

Now, after the people believed and was baptized, they were filled with the Holy Ghost. And that's God's Divine program. Now, if you are filled with the world... And when you get saved, you might be filled with good thoughts and so forth, but unless you are filled with God... God sent the Holy Spirit to the earth to motivate the church. And you might be filled with thoughts. You might be filled with theology. And you might be filled with education, a know it all. And you might be filled with religion, and still be a target of the devil. That's right.

*MASTERPIECE IS SCARRED BECAUSE THE ENTHUSIASM OF GOD TO SEE SUCH A MASTERPIECE, HE STRUCK HIM FOR US ALL. THERE HE DIED, TO PERFECT WE WHO ARE IMPERFECT. THE MASTERPIECE.

GOD’S.ONLY.PROVIDE.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ 65-1128M

130 One day, down on Jordan, after that Masterpiece had been formed and made, here He come descending down in a…on the wings of a Dove, said, “This is Him!” He was so enthused with this Masterpiece until He struck Him on Calvary, that He would die for the rest of us that’s imperfect; that through the shedding of His Blood, He might bring many masterpieces (being a Bride) to His Son. Masterpiece is scarred because the enthusiasm of God to see such a Masterpiece, He struck Him for us all. See? There He died, to perfect we who are imperfect. The Masterpiece.

WILLIAM D. UPSHAW

TESTIMONY_ 51-0509

1 I want to say that I’m very happy. I want to start this tonight, that this elderly man who’s eighty some-odd years old, about eighty-four years old. He isn’t able to work no more. He’s served his time. And if he has the enthusiasm to scatter the Message of Jesus Christ, I want to help him do it. God bless my brother. All right. Go ahead, Brother…?…May God bless each one. Come here.

[Brother Hall asks, “What are you going to start it with?”—Ed.] I’m going to start it…[Brother Hall asks, “Some money, huh?”—Ed.] Some money…[All right good, I will help you start it.”] All right, sir; that’s fine. God bless you.

2 Just I want him to say a word. All right. Come here, Brother Congressman.

This is the former Congressman of the United States. One time, one of the greatest men in our nation. God…He was crippled for many many years, sixty-six years, was healed here in this meeting. And I feel a great honor tonight to stand before a man, or with a man like this. That these crutches supported him for all those years of his youth, while he was being prayed for time after time to be healed. And at the age of about eighty-four Senator…

[Congressman Upshaw gives his testimony: Just eighty-four. And I’m eighty-four years young, speak three and four times a day, preach the Gospel of the Christ Who saved me, stood by me on bed seven years, and made me happy, and then took me off of the crutches that I have used for fifty-nine years and now, glory to God I’m walking—Ed.]

3 Praise the Lord. And you know what this offering is for? He’s not able to send this testimony around the country. He’s…He can’t do it. He’s aged, and he has no income. This here offering is to help him send this to all the big men, rulers, and so forth of the nation. God bless our gallant brother.

And I want to give him an…this welcome here, to anywhere in the nation that I have meetings or in the world. I’d be very happy to see Congressman Upshaw come and stand by me at the platform while in services.

[Congressman Upshaw gives comment: Remember, I’m sending this folder to every congressman, and senator, the president, and his wife, and now sending it this week to the king of England for whom he prayed, and Winston Churchill. And I’m going to send one to Joseph Stalin. God have mercy on his soul—Ed.]

LITTLE BOY LOOKING FOR AN ANWER IF ANY MAN HAS SEEN GOD

JESUS.CHRIST.IS.THE.SAME.YESTERDAY.TODAY.AND.FOREVER_ 58-0515

31 Now, in my city, there was a little boy, some time ago, who got all enthused in his Sunday school, and when he went home he said to his mommy, “Mommy, can anyone see this great God that they’re telling us about?”

She said, “Ask your Sunday school teacher.”

And she asked the teacher, or, he did, rather, asked the lady teacher, and she said, “Ask the pastor.”

And they asked the pastor, and the pastor said, “No, sonny, no one can see God and live.”

JESUS.CHRIST.IS.THE.SAME.YESTERDAY.TODAY.AND.FOREVER_ 58-0515

32 Well, the little fellow, that did not satisfy his enthusiasm. So he used to fish up on the river with an old fisherman, down there, by the name of Wiseheart, used to be a deacon in our church. And he, one day, coming down the river, there’d come a storm; been a dusty summer, and the water had washed all the leaves off; and the sun was setting in the west, as the old fisherman, the little boy, made their ways down after running the nets. And there was a rainbow came out. And as the old fisherman watched that rainbow, the little fellow noticed that tears begin to run down his bearded cheeks.

33 And the crystal tears dropping off of his white beard, kind of stirred the emotion of the little boy. So he ran from the stern of the boat up into the middle, and he fell down on the lap of the old fisherman, he said, “Sir, I’m going to ask you something that, seemingly, no one can answer me.”

And he said, “What is it, my lad?”

He said, “God is so great, the God that made that rainbow.” Said, “Can anyone see God?”

34 And the old fisherman, overcome by the child’s enthusiasm, put him in his arms, and he said, “God bless your little heart, honey, all I’ve seen for forty years has been God.” The way to see God is to get God on the inside, then He looks through your eyes. Then you know Him, you can understand, He will reveal Himself.

The way to see God is to get God on the inside, then He looks through your eyes. Then you know Him, you can understand, He will reveal Himself.

35 Jesus said, “A little while, and the world, see Me no more; yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world.” Anyone who reads the Scriptures knows that’s true. Then Jesus’ promise, by His Own Word: that there—there would be people that would see Him until He came again at the end of the world. “A little while, and the world will see Me no more; yet ye shall see Me, for I…” (a personal pronoun) “…will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world.” Now, is that Scripture right? Or was He just teasing the disciples? If He was teasing, and joshing, and carrying on, then He wasn’t the Son of God. That’s either the truth, or it is not the truth.
