26-0911A_IN HIS PRESENCE PT-2 (IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD A MAN'S CHANGED)
Isa 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Isa 6:2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
Isa 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Isa 6:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isa 6:5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
Isa 6:6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
Isa 6:7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
*THEN WHEN WE COME INTO HIS
PRESENCE, WHEN A MAN ONCE COMES INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD, HE'S CHANGED FOREVER,
IF THERE'S ANY CHANGING TO HIM.
IN.HIS.PRESENCE_ JEFF.IN V-11 N-4 SUNDAY_ 62-0909E
42 Now, we see He never did ordain us to go make
denominations. He never did ordain us to go make creed. But He warned us
against such. "For whosoever shall take
anything from It or add anything to It, the same will be taken out of, their
part, in the Book of Life." See?
So we're not ordained to do nothing but stay with that Word. And if a man is sent of God, he'll stay with the Word, because God can only stand by His Word. See? See, He must stay by His Word. Then when we come into His Presence, when a man once comes into the Presence of God, he's changed forever, if there's any changing to him. Now, there are those who could walk in the Presence of God and pay no attention to It. He wasn't ordained to Life. But if he was predestinated of God, as soon as that first move hits, he knows it. That catches fire.
*WHEN A MAN COMES IN CONTACT
WITH GOD, HE RECOGNIZES HIMSELF NO GOOD.
IN.HIS.PRESENCE_ JEFF.IN V-11 N-4 SUNDAY_ 62-0909E
48 When a man comes in contact with God, he
recognizes himself no good. How can a man walk around and brag
about how big he is and what all he's done, when he's nothing? He's nothing to
begin with. One day
down in Memphis, Tennessee, or one of the--I don't think it was in Memphis; it
was one of the places there. I was with Brother Davis and was having a--a
revival, it might've been Memphis. And we was--went to a coliseum, and they had
in there, not a coliseum, it was kind of a art gallery, and they had the--the
great statues that they'd got from different parts of the earth, of different,
Hercules and so forth, and great artists had painted. And then they had the
analysis of a man that weighed a hundred and fifty pounds. You know how much
he's worth? Eighty-four cents. That's all he is. Eighty-four cents is all
the--all the chemicals you can get out of him. He's just got enough whitewash
to sprinkle a hen's nest, and he's got enough, just a little bit of calcium,
little potash. It would all sell for eighty-four
cents. But we just take care of that eighty-four cents and baby it around.

49 There was two boys standing there, and one looked at the
other one and said, "Jim, we're not worth very much are we?"
He said, "No,
we're not, John."
And I said, "But wait a minute, boys, you got a soul in there that's worth ten thousand worlds, that's been--can be redeemed by the power of God, if you'll just let it."
*THE MAN OF GOD WHO STANDS IN
THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AND KNOWS GOD IS GOD, AND KNOW THAT GOD KEEPS HIS WORD...
IN.HIS.PRESENCE_ JEFF.IN V-11 N-4 SUNDAY_ 62-0909E
52 That's the way God's soldiers are today. They're trained to the Word. When anything comes up that's got a little polish to it, that's got something else that's not Scripture, they warn their congregation. Anything that's not Bible, anything that's not--that's not God-like, such as having soup suppers, dances, and everything else to pay off the pastors. Those things are wrong. Bunco games and card parties in the churches, it's wrong. And the real watchman on the wall, who's once been in the Presence of God... If he isn't on the wall, if he's just supposed to be on the wall, the wall may not be any higher than the rest of the congregation. But if he's a correct watchman, God raises him plumb up into spheres that the rest of them never gets to. But he watches the flock, and God requires it of him. The man of God who stands in the Presence of God, and knows God is God, and know that God keeps His Word, and watch God perform Hisself and do His duty and keep His Word, then no matter how many organizations or denominations tries to tear it down, he knows the rank and file of the enemy. Amen. He knows what to tell the congregation, a real watchman.
*IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD A
MAN'S CHANGED.
IN.HIS.PRESENCE_ JEFF.IN V-11 N-4 SUNDAY_ 62-0909E
68 Oh, what a great thing it was now to know
that he had wrestled through. That he had seen signs of God, he had had dreams
about God, but this was one time he was in the face of God, in the Presence of
God. Think of it, friends, now as we hurry up.
In the Presence of God a man's changed. Jacob was changed. Now, he could walk with God. Yes, he was a different man than what he was when he went up there. The battle was now over. Yes, sir. And he begin to build an altar. He hadn't been used to building altars, you know. But I tell you, when you come in the Presence of God, you want to build an altar somewhere. You want to find somewhere where you can pray. He built an altar. He was cleansed, and God had won.
*BUT WHEN HE COME INTO THE
PRESENCE OF GOD, HE RECOGNIZED HE WAS A SINNER. WHAT DID HE DO?...HE HAD MET
SOMETHING THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BEFORE, AND HE STAYED THERE UNTIL ALL
SINS WAS GONE.
IN.HIS.PRESENCE_ JEFF.IN V-11 N-4 SUNDAY_ 62-0909E
69 ...That's what happened to Jacob. The supplanter, the deceiver, the unrighteous, the unholy, the deceiver, deceived his brother, stole the birthrights, as it was, from his brother took a little dirty way of doing it, such a deceiver. He deceived his father-in-law. Put poplar sticks and made speckled calves, when the cows being pregnated come there, look at it, and the sheep... would see that speckled stick and make speckled cattle, give them birth marks. Deceiver, deceiving his own father-in-law. Deceived his mother, deceived his daddy, deceived his brother, but when he once got in the... He was a shyster. He was running everywhere he went, always on the run from God; he was on the run from his brother. But when he come into the Presence of God, he recognized he was a sinner. What did he do? What did he do? He seen his opportunity. He had met something that he didn't even think about before, and he stayed there until all sins was gone. Oh, my. God got him in His Own Presence.
*THERE'S A HIDING PLACE, OH,
A BLESSED HIDING PLACE. IT'S IN CHRIST.
THE.ONCOMING.STORM_ PHOENIX.AZ V-15 N-2 MONDAY_ 60-0229
146 The storms are coming. There's a hiding Place, oh, a blessed hiding Place. It's
in Christ. Let us
bow our heads just a moment. I want you to think sincerely and solemnly for the
next moment.
Have you ever found that blessed hiding Place from the wrath? Remember, there's no two hiding places; there's just One.
You might be a
good member of some church, which I have no evil to say against. But if that's all you have, and your life isn't compared
with the Book of Acts, if the Holy Spirit that you profess to have is not
making you live like they did in the Book of Acts, and your life could write
another book, you better take warning. If the first vine brought forth a Pentecostal church; the
second vine, or branch, rather, out of the Vine, will bring forth another
Pentecostal church, with a Pentecostal experience, bearing the same fruits that
the first church had.
*ARE YOU ABIDING IN THAT
BLESSED, SACRED PRESENCE OF THE LORD?
THE.ONCOMING.STORM_ PHOENIX.AZ V-15 N-2 MONDAY_ 60-0229
Are you
abiding in that blessed, sacred Presence of the Lord? Have you passed from death unto Life?
Are you resting upon some emotion, some psychological affect, or some
intellectual speech? Or are you
constantly abiding in His Presence, with the fruit of the Spirit in your life:
long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness? Can you bear for someone to talk about
you, and you love them so much, till in your heart you pray for them? Or is it
a selfish little prayer, "O Lord, I know I ought to pray for him,
but..." Oh, no, brother. Does that sweetness and love of God, "Oh,
sweep over my soul. O Holy Spirit, sweep over my soul." If you haven't found
that place of safety, my brother...
