26-0424A_TAKING GOD AT HIS WORD PT-4 (STAYING WITH CHRIST IN THE WORD)

Mat 4:23  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 

Mat 4:24  And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

Joh 15:7  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Joh 15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Joh 15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 

Joh 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 

Joh 15:6  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 

Joh 15:7  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

Joh 15:8  Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 

Joh 15:9  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 

Joh 15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

*...FAITH MAKES THAT WORD LIVE...“IF YE ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORD IN YOU... THAT’S STAYING WITH CHRIST IN THE WORD

Confirmation Of The Commission_   62-0122

68   The Bible said, “The Gospel came to us not in word only, but through the power, manifestations of the Holy Ghost.” In other words, “It’s the Holy Ghost taking the Word of God and making It manifest.” See? And, otherwise, the only way that the signs of Mark 16 can follow the believer is that the Holy Spirit Himself takes the Word of God and demonstrates it to the people. That’s it. Now, faith makes that Word live. See?

69   The Word is God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” And then Jesus said, “If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you, ask what you will, it’ll be done for you.” See? That’s staying with Christ in the Word. Don’t go right or left, stay right with It. See? And then It’s actually not your word then, It’s His Word, and His Word has the power and authority behind It. Now, and if the Holy Spirit, which is God’s Word, or the power of God’s Word, comes in with God’s Word, It’ll make God’s Word display Itself.

 

*AND THE MESSAGE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT TAKING THE WORD OF GOD AND GIVING IT TO YOU.

GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD_  JEFF.IN  SUNDAY_  57-0120E

  E-73    Do you realize just the seriousness of this? You don't come to church just to hear a message, or to see a messenger, I mean. You come to hear the message. And the message is the Holy Spirit taking the Word of God and giving It to you. Now, what about? Maybe in the morning it'll be too late. Are you willing in the Presence of God to raise your hand, you who have not yet, and say, "God, be merciful to me; I want Your Spirit in me, for..."

Would you be willing to say, "God, I'm going down to the potter's house. I'm sick and tired. I've always wanted a consecrated life. And tonight I'm going down to the potter's house to lay my heart down and say, 'God, break it all up and give me a new heart, a new spirit, and put Your Spirit right in the middle of it, and let my life run right along according to Your Word. Make me a Micaiah of this day, that I can stand on THUS SAITH THE LORD. And my vision, and my life, that--that I live before You, not I, but the Spirit in me, lives the life that the Bible requires. That's the way I want to be. O God, by Your mercy, make me that.'"

 

 

*BY TAKING GOD AT HIS WORD, CHANGED THE WHOLE NATURAL COURSE OF LIFE...

MARY'S.BELIEF_  BEAUMONT.TX  SATURDAY_  61-0121

  E-38    ...As soon as Mary got a hold of... the Angel got a hold of her, rather, and she seen Him, and knowed it was God, because it was Scriptural, she took His word and went around testifying of something that didn't even show one evidence of ever being. Another thing, she testified of something that never had happened before. Oh, praise be the Lord! She testified of something that had never happened. Never had a virgin conceived. But she had the Angel's word, and the Angel was Scriptural, so she knowed it was promised. And the Angel had the Word of the Lord and promise it. And because she thought herself humble and lowly, yet God had chose her, so she was just happy about it. And she went forth with her message, telling everybody she was going to have a baby before she even had the first sign of a baby. She didn't wait and say, "Now wait, let me feel and see if I feel any better or not." No, no. Oh, God, give us more Marys!

MARY'S.BELIEF_  BEAUMONT.TX  SATURDAY_  61-0121

  E-40    The Angel's message... It's always been that way. That's the way God wants. What did it do? The changed... By taking God at His Word, changed the whole natural course of life for her. It'll do the same thing for you. It certainly will. It'll take you sinners, and wash you as white as snow. It'll take you, critics, and make you one of us. It sure will. It'll take you that's sick and make you well. It'll take you that's on your road to hell and change you around and start you up to heaven. Just take Him at His Word, and believe it, and start rejoicing.

 

*EVERY MAN THAT'S BORN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS GIVE A CHECKBOOK BY JESUS CHRIST, WITH HIS NAME SIGNED ON EVERY CHECK.

TAKING.GOD.AT.HIS.WORD_  OWENSBORO.KY  TUESDAY_  53-1103

  E-11    But the trouble of it is, that men and women are born in this world, some born to be condemned, and you preach the Gospel, it's just like pouring water on a duck's back. Runs right off, and no--has no affect at all, that's right. The men and women who can grasp the promise of God, and say, "It's my personal property..." Every man that's born of the Spirit of God is give a checkbook by Jesus Christ, with His Name signed on every check. If you're afraid to fill it out, that's your bad luck. That's right.

Brother, anything... Jesus said, "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it, and you shall have it. Whatever, whatsoever things, if you believe."

If I need healing, I just write out the check, and put it in the deposit and say, "I'm sending it to Calvary." There's where it was paid for, there's where you deposit it. Hallelujah. The first thing you know, the re--blessings will be flowing back and the sickness will be gone. I be well and rejoicing again. Amen.

 

*...IF WE WOULD STAND AND CLAIM OUR GOD GIVEN PRIVILEGES. THAT'S THE TIME THAT GOD CAN ...

FELLOWSHIP_  CHICAGO.IL  SUNDAY_  55-0501A

   28   ...And when Christian believers can believe that present now, right now, setting together, seated here in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: in Christ Jesus, fellowshipping (Amen.) around the Word of God, the Holy Spirit here taking the Word of God by vision, moving It out into every heart like that, as the Word is going forth and every believer receiving It. Oh, if we would stand and claim our God given privileges. That's the time that God can ever take that wishbone out of a person's back and put a real old fashion Gospel backbone into him: somebody who'll stand for truth, no matter how dark it looks.

 

*...THEN AS THE HOLY SPIRIT TAKEN THE WORD AND POUNDED AWAY LIKE AIR HAMMER AGAINST A ROCK.

FELLOWSHIP_  CHICAGO.IL  SUNDAY_  55-0501A

  E-29    God let the Hebrew children walk right into the fiery furnace before He ever turned a hand. He's always there; don't be scared. He's always present. Amen. Then if the footsteps of a righteous man is ordered of the Lord, what we got to fear? God be for you, who can be against you? Oh, my, think of it. Oh, if God let His portions of heaven gathers together in a meeting... Amen. Just try to--try that out, then as the Holy Spirit taken the Word and pounded away like air hammer against a rock. Oh, my. Break up our stony hearts and move away to believe that, unbelief, and fellowship around the Word. Fellowship is wonderful.

 

*THE ONLY WAY THAT MAN WILL EVER STAY, IS FOR HIM TO LAY DOWN THERE AND DIE OUT TO SELF, AND BE REBORN AGAIN BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST.

TAKING.GOD.AT.HIS.WORD_  OWENSBORO.KY  TUESDAY_  53-1103

  E-13    Billy Graham, not long ago, having a meeting, went into a certain city, and said they had thirty thousand converts. They were chased down thirty days from then, couldn't find thirty converts. The trouble of it is, you're asking people to stand up and "accept Christ as my personal testimony," stand up like that and that's all they know about it; worked up under a little mental tel--enthusiasm. And the next thing you know, it's gone. The only way that man will ever stay, is for him to lay down there and die out to self, and be reborn again by the Spirit of God and filled with the Holy Ghost. Then he's no more his own, God took him over and got full control, and moving in him. Then he can't be nothing else, for God has made a new creature out of him.
