Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_  VICTORIA.BC  FRIDAY_  62-0727

E-32    Now, when Jesus was here on earth, He said to them that did not believe Him... He was an ordinary man, and He called Himself God. They said, "When You make Yourself equal with God we know you're mad (And the word 'mad' there, of course, we understand means 'crazy.') and you're crazy. You are a Samaritan. You've got a devil," and so forth.

But Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and They are They that testify of Me. They are They that bear witness of Me." "Testify" is "to bear witness."

When you go to a trial to be a witness, you're testifying for somebody. See? And Jesus said, "The Scriptures are They that bear record of Me." Then He was God's Word expressed in human flesh. You see it? God's promise made flesh to express Itself, that's what Christ was, the Word of God expressed in human form. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

Again He said to them, "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not. But though you don't believe Me, believe the works." See, that's God expressing Himself through the flesh. He was God made flesh, the Word, living Word.

HUMBLE.THYSELF_  JEFF.IN  V-21 N-1  SUNDAY_  63-0714E

103      Look at Jesus, nothing but one bundle of love. See? He was God manifested. He, God, expressed Himself through Him, no wonder miracles and things happened. His humble life, and consecrated life; to come from being God, to be a man here on earth, to express God through Himself. That's what made Him what He was. I've always said, "What made Jesus God, to me, was the way He humbled Himself. He was so great, and yet could be so small." See? That's right.

WE WOULD SEE JESUS_ VICTORIA BC         62-0727   113

E-35    It's too bad that the things of the world has so captured the church in these days. And Satan had a rude way of doing it, to bring in the televisions right into the homes, and things, and corrupting the minds of the people, and till today that--that a great percent of the church that call themselves Christians will stay home from prayer meeting on a Wednesday night to get to see some favorite program of somebody from Hollywood, or somewhere, that oughtn't to even be put out on the screen, maybe living with three or four husbands, or wives, and carrying on, and living all kinds of lives, go out on drunk parties, and smoking, and lying, and everything that can be done that's wrong.

THINGS THAT ARE TO BE_ RIALTO CA         65-1205   123V-4 N-6

33      Now, if we are those attributes of God, we cannot live by creeds. We cannot live by denominationalism. We must live by the Word, because the Bride is a part of the Bridegroom, like any wife is a part of her husband. Therefore, we must be that Word Bride. And what is that Word Bride? The manifestation of this hour, the Bride, not a creed or a denomination; but a living oracle of God, a living attribute of God, displaying to the world the attributes of God, in the formation of the Bride that's to be expressed in this hour that we're now living.

A TESTIMONY UPON THE SEA_PORT ALBERNI BC     62-0726   111_IT IS I, BE NOT AFRAID

E-18    Now, character... Always you... All you people of the church of God, live good, live right. People's watching the way you're living. And if there's anything that's a hindrance to Christianity today, is the way that professed Christians live: dishonest, dishonorable, and living any way. Don't do that. We are Christians.

Somebody's watching your life, correctly. Be honest. Let everybody know. Let your dealings be fair and square, and--and--and don't take nothing doesn't belong to you. Don't say nothing but what's the truth. And you can always tell the truth every time, and God will honor the truth. And always do what's right. Treat everybody right. If they don't treat you right, you treat them right anyhow. See? Jesus treated us right when we didn't treat Him right. And His Spirit in us...
