26-0206A_THE STATURE OF A PERFECT MAN PT-32 (BOND OF PERFECTNESS)
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:
Col 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
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,
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
*...THAT’S WHAT THE HOLY
GHOST IS FOR...IT’S TO UNITE US TOGETHER WITH POWER. IT’S TO UNITE US TOGETHER
WITH LOVE, BROTHERLY LOVE.
WHAT.WAS.THE.HOLY.GHOST.GIVEN.FOR?_ 59-1217
111 ....The Holy Ghost will
follow God’s Word to the letter.
And a
preacher behind the pulpit, that ain’t got grace enough to preach It, I doubt
he’s got It. That’s just exactly! Well, that’s what
the Holy Ghost is for.
112 It’s to give
unction to the preacher. It’s to give holiness to the group. It’s to set the
Church in order. It’s to bring a unity of Spirit. It’s to unite us together
with Power. It’s to unite us together with love, brotherly love.
*...BEING JOINED TOGETHER
WITH GODLY LOVE, FEAR OF GOD, REVERENCE IN OUR HEART TO ONE ANOTHER, DEEP
RESPECT TO ONE ANOTHER, BROTHERLY AND SISTERLY KINDNESS...
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
61-1 Let's study it. Let's add to our faith these things then, that we might come in the full statue of Christ, being joined together with godly love, fear of God, reverence in our heart to one another, deep respect to one another, brotherly and sisterly kindness, never vulgarity, nothing but just the purity of Holy Ghost living. See? Live together, be a Christian; walk with faith; let the virtue of God flow through you. Let the knowledge of God when it comes to right and wrong... When the devil presents something that's not exactly Scripture, walk away from it. That's right.
*THEN THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE HEADSTONE
WHICH IS LOVE; FOR GOD IS LOVE, AND HE CONTROLS, AND HE IS THE STRENGTH OF
EVERY ONE OF THESE THINGS.

47-1 Now, in building the virtue, building this monument, building this statue (See?), it starts off and the foundation that's on faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness. Now, what's it do? Then they're waiting for the Headstone which is love; for God is love, and He controls, and He is the Strength of every one of these things. Yes, sir. Right in here. Right in here. See, I got in between all these works in here, and here there's little waves coming. What is that? The Holy Ghost coming down through Christ (See?), Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is above all this, welding this together, building a what? A perfect church for the capstone to cap it off. What's it been done again? It's manifested through seven church ages and seven church messengers.
*“FAITH WORKETH BY LOVE.” AND
THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN HAVE FAITH, IS HAVE LOVE FIRST.
DESPERATIONS_ 63-0901E
68 Now the Word plainly states, if
you want to put this down, in Galatians 5:6, that, “Faith
worketh by love.” See? “Faith worketh by love.” And the only way that you can
have faith, is have love first. Because, after all, faith is love’s incentive. Incentive, that’s
exactly what—what faith is. It’s an incentive to love. Now, you, if you don’t have love, you can’t have faith. See?
69 How
can you have faith in your wife if you don’t love her? That’s in phileo. Now
how about in agapao, to God? How can it be if you don’t love God?
If you said you loved
your wife, and never tell her about it, and never set down and make love to
her, expressed it to her, kiss her, hug her, and tell her she’s the best cook
in the country, all the things that you know, and how pretty she is, and how
much you love her; if you don’t do that, she’ll never know it. That’s the way.
If you do love her, you express it.
70 That’s the way we do to God. When we love Him, we tell Him about it. We set down and we adore Him, and worship Him. And, see, love drives us to that.
*...BUT IF THOSE GIFTS ARE
NOT GOVERNED BY LOVE, THEN THEY ARE NOT EFFECTIVE.
GOD.PROJECTING.HIS.LOVE_ EDMONTON.ALBERTA TUESDAY_ 57-0806
16 And I think if one thing is needed in the great, universal Church of God tonight is love. We do not need other things as much as we think we do. And all these other things, our emotions and our gifts, they are wonderful, and to God we give praise, but if those gifts are not governed by love, then they are not effective.
*IF GOD IS IN YOU, THE TOKEN
INSIDE OF YOU, AND YOU SEE THE CONDITIONS OF TIMES, AND PEOPLE WADING IN SIN
THE WAY THEY ARE, IT’LL THROW YOU INTO DESPERATION.
DESPERATIONS_ 63-0901E
67 I believe that the reason we don’t have desperation is because it’s a lack of love, God, the love of God. I think that the love of God causes desperation. If God is in you, the Token inside of you, and you see the conditions of times, and people wading in sin the way they are, it’ll throw you into desperation. I believe it will.
*BUT IF YOU LOVE, IT CASTS
AWAY THAT FEAR.
GOD.PROJECTING.HIS.LOVE_ EDMONTON.ALBERTA TUESDAY_ 57-0806
E-14 Love is a powerful force. It'll run a woman, a mother,
right into the flames of fire after her baby, if she knows she's plunging
herself to death. There's nothing more strong than
love. Love
will make you trust. You might go and know that you belong to the greatest
church in all the provinces of Canada. You might know that you're the charter
member of the greatest church in the nation. And then you would do things that
you would not do if you belonged to a little mission somewhere in some corner
and had the love of God in your heart.
Love has no fear. Love casts out fear. And I notice in my meetings, so much that when I come into the people... One of the great things I find among them is fear. And what makes fear is lack of confidence. If you lack confidence it'll make you fear. But if you love, it casts away that fear. And that's the way God wants His Church, not so many as charter members; He wants members that's loyal, and loves, and believes, and has confidence in Him.
*GODLY LOVE DOESN'T QUESTION. HUMAN LOVE REASONS, BUT GODLY
LOVE DOESN'T. IT'S PERFECT IN ITS TRUST.
GOD.PROJECTING.HIS.LOVE_ EDMONTON.ALBERTA TUESDAY_ 57-0806
E-6 .....There's two different types of love. And I'm almost sure that many of us has been deceived with having phileo love and thinking it's Agapao love. Phileo love is intellectual; Agapao love comes from the heart. That's human love, affectionately love, and godly love. Godly love doesn't question. Human love reasons, but godly love doesn't. It's perfect in its trust. It's perfect... It just produces faith when you really love.
*WHEN THE LOVE OF CHRIST
COMES INTO YOUR HEART, YOU WOULDN'T DO NOTHING TO HURT HIM.
GOD.PROJECTING.HIS.LOVE_ EDMONTON.ALBERTA TUESDAY_ 57-0806
E-17 And I tell you, brother, when the love of God comes into the human heart, it'll drive all these things; you don't have to worry about smoking, drinking, and running to bioscopes. When the love of Christ comes into your heart, you wouldn't do nothing to hurt Him. Not walking around, saying, "They're narrow-minded, and they're this way and that way." Just let the love of God strike you once, those things die. Your whole affections is placed on Christ. You got Eternal Life then, when you believe Him, when you really believe Him, and get married to Him, and die out to the things of the world.
*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…
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
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.
