26-1023A_IN HIS PRESENCE PT-7 (RECOGNIZING HIM RELEASES FORGIVENESS, POWER, JOY & ETERNAL LIFE)
Mat 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
*BUT THERE THAT LITTLE WOMAN SEEN HE NEEDED SERVICE.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
93 But there that little woman seen He needed service. And she rushed in real quickly, went and got an alabaster box full of oil. Probably had bought it with the money from her prostitution. But what was it? She might have thought, "He is a--He is a Prophet. But I remember another woman in my fix, another character like mine; she had the opportunity and she recognized Him, and she was forgiven." Up there at the well of Sychar, last night we talked of it. "And if I can only get to Him, I know Who He is, I'll do Him a service. If the rest of them, I don't care what they do. I'll do Him a service. I'll recognize He's the Son of God."
*THAT'S THE WAY A REAL
PENITENT SINNER FEELS IN HIS PRESENCE, GUILTY!
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
94 She run in. She got real close
to Him, and she felt so guilty. That's the way a real penitent sinner feels in
His Presence, guilty!
95 And the tears begin to fall, and she was trying to hide them. They dropped on His feet. She was going to anoint Him, but the tears dropping on His feet. And she begin to wipe them, and--and crying, and--and wiping them with her hands. And--and His feet was all getting mussed up with the dirt that was on it; and--and if you want to really believe it, with the stink of the animals off the trail, everyone walked the same trail. And there it was, the stink on Him, sitting there, and her tears was dropping on His feet, and she was trying to wipe them off. And she had no towel.
*HIS FEET, AND WIPE THEM,
HER--HER PRETTY HAIR, TAKING THE STINK OFF OF HIM, UPON HERSELF, BEARING HIS
REPROACH.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
96 What is the woman's beauty and honor? Is her hair.
That's the reason
many of you women today cut it all off. That's wrong. She, she took her hair
and begin to wash the... His feet, and wipe them,
her--her pretty hair, taking the stink off of Him, upon herself, bearing His
reproach. Oh, my! That's when you recognize Who is in your presence.
See? Our sisters would have to almost stand on their head, to get enough hair
to do that. So there she washed His feet, and wiped
them with the hairs of her head, and she kissed His feet.
*JESUS NEVER MOVED A FOOT. HE JUST WATCHED HER.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
97 And that old Simon standing back there, said, "Huh!
Huh!" Oh, I can just see him blow up. He didn't recognize Who He was.
Said, "I told you He wasn't a Prophet. If He was a Prophet, He would
recognize what kind of a woman that is around Him."
98 Jesus never moved
a foot. He just watched her. And she was scared.
99 Then after He had got through,
she doing the service to Him, He looked over, said, "Simon, I've got something to say to you. You
invited Me here. You brought Me here," in other words, a trump up his
sleeve. "You wanted to show Me off. You wanted to prove that I wasn't
what I am. And you, when you brought Me here, you should have had My feet
washed, but you never. You should give Me oil to anoint My head, but you
didn't. You never kissed Me welcome. And
this woman, ever since I've been here, has washed My feet with her tears, and
wiped them with--with her hair, and constantly has kissed My feet since I've
been here. I have
something against you, Simon."
*SHE RECOGNIZED HIS
PRESENCE.RELEASED TO HER, FORGIVENESS OF HER SINS,POWER OF GOD,JOY &
ETERNAL LIFE.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
100 Then He turns to her. I can just imagine seeing her
standing there, and her big pretty eyes all stained up, and her face, and where
she had grease and--and dust off of the road, on her face. And she thinks,
"Now have I done wrong? Have I done wrong?"
101 He said, "And I say unto her, her 'sins which are many, are
all forgiven. Go in peace.'"
102 What was it? She recognized. She recognized her opportunity. See? She did it. She did Him a service. The Pharisees didn't do it.
She saw it and she recognized His Presence, and what did it do? It washed. What did it release to her? Forgiveness.
Released to her, forgiveness of her sins. What did it do also? It
also released the power of God, to show to them unbelievers that He was a
Prophet. He knowed who she was. It also
released joy and power and Eternal Life. It released that.
*... AND WHEN THAT GENUINE FAITH, IN GOD, BECAME A POSITIVE THING TO HER... IT RELEASED HIS POWER TO HEAL HER.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
71 Now, when He
is not recognized, His power is al-... is always not revealed, when He is not
recognized. No matter how much God is standing present, you've got to believe
it. That's all.
72 Like the woman with the blood issue. All them people
passing by, and all of them standing up, saying, "There goes the Rabbi.
That's the Guy that claims to be a Prophet. This is the fanatic," and all
such as that.
73 But what happened? This little woman had an issue of blood, and she had
heard about Him. And when she come down there, regardless of what anybody said,
she recognized Who He was. And she said, "If I can only touch His garment!" See?
74 And when
that genuine faith, in God, became a positive thing to her, what did it
release? It released His power to heal her. It touched Him in such a way, He turned
around and told her what was wrong with her, said, "Your faith has saved you." What did? Faith!
75 Others standing there might have been sicker than she,
but, you see, she recognized His
Presence. She knowed that was her opportunity.
*BUT WE'VE GOT TO RECOGNIZE
HIS PRESENCE. AND NOW HOW YOU RECOGNIZE HIS PRESENCE, IS WHEN THE PROMISED WORD
FOR THIS AGE IS MADE MANIFEST...
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
76 If we could only do that tonight, people! If we could only realize that He is appearing to us in these meetings, for one purpose, that's, to release our desires that we have in Him, to us. But we've got to recognize His Presence. And now how you recognize His Presence, is when the promised Word for this age is made manifest, not the promised Word of Moses' age or any other age. Is the promise of the Word for this age!
*THE WOMAN WAS FORGIVEN, AND
GIVEN ETERNAL LIFE; BUT HE LOST HIS MIND AND WENT INSANE, AND COMMITTED SUICIDE BY DROWNING
HIMSELF UP IN SWITZERLAND.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
103 But the one who caused a
great huge nail to be drove in them precious feet, he never recognized the
Presence of God in Him. He also wanted Him to do some cheap trick for
him, some entertainment.
104 That's what the
world wants, today, is a bunch of entertainment. It don't want the Gospel. They
want to be entertained.
105 And Pilate said, "I'd like to desire some miracle from Him, or something like that. Bring Him up here." Right in the Presence of God, and turned It down, because (what?) that he appreciated the--the opinion of the public more than he appreciated having the opportunity to be in the Presence of God. What happened? The woman was forgiven, and given Eternal Life; but he lost his mind and went insane, and committed suicide by drowning himself up in Switzerland.
*HE FORFEITED IT, HE
FORFEITED HIS OPPORTUNITY IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD. HE COULD HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
106 Now, care, so carried away
with the popular opinion of that day, that, "He was a Beelzebub; He was just a make-belief; there wasn't really nothing to
Him," he, what did he do? He forfeited
it, he forfeited his opportunity in the Presence of God. He could have been
forgiven. He said, "I have power to crucify You. I have power to
release You."
107 He said, "You have no power unless it comes from My Father." He ought to have known, if he'd have knowed the Scripture. And him, being a Jew, should have known that. But, you see, the traditions had got him taught down. That's the way it is today. If he'd have only been taught right! If the man would have believed what the Scriptures had said! But his tradition got him off of it.
*THE PROMISE FOR THIS AGE HAS
TO COME TO PASS. HE HAD CLEARLY SHOWED THEM, HE, BY THE SCRIPTURE, AND INVITED
THEM TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE...
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
118 So many things, look in this days, what
He said would take place! Look at the promises that He made, would take place
this day. And then
examine it, of what is going on, and see where we're at, then you see whether
He is still in His Word or not.
119 They wanted to see the sign of
Moses, the sign of David. That was not for their age; it was promised for Moses'
age and them age. The promise for this age has to
come to pass. He had clearly showed them, He, by the Scripture, and invited
them to search the Scripture, to see what day they were living in.
120 He is doing the same thing right
now! Search the Scripture, you who believe the
Bible. What is supposed to take place right here before His Coming?
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
121 Look at the world, in the position; now, that's
the world. Look at the church, where it is. Look where it's at, "falling
away, lukewarm, Laodicea, putting out the Word." The whole thing going into the
big council of churches, the World Council of Churches, forming the mark of the
beast; which the Bible proclaims is wrong, and all those things, and yet the
Protestants driving right into it, headlong, not knowing the Scripture. Their tradition! Oh, they are wanting a--a--a--a power
man, and they're going to get one. They'll see that they get it.
122 He had, look, but Jesus had perfectly declared Himself exactly Who He was, and had proved to them Who He was, in His age.
*THE LAST SIGN, ACCORDING TO JESUS, HE SAID, "AS IT
WAS IN THE DAYS OF SODOM, SO SHALL IT BE IN THE DAYS WHEN THE SON OF MAN...
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
111 And I
just wonder if we're not looking too forward ahead for something that's right
by us. Wonder if it could be the same way, if we could pass by our opportunity?
Remember, as the old types, the types can never break. The
last sign, according to Jesus, He said, "As it was in the days of
Sodom, so shall it be in the days when the Son of man," not Son
of God now, "when the Son of man is being
revealed." Look at here where it's setting today! Friends, I could
tell you some things here which is not right for me to tell you, but it would
startle you.
112 I want to ask
you a little question while we stop, before we continue on with this service,
just a few minutes. I wonder if I could ask you this.
113 Anyone knows that the world, positionally, everything is sitting in order for His Coming. "Earthquakes in divers places; the moon is spurting out red blood, or red volcanic all over, covering it," as Jesus said watch for that sign in the last days; "sea a roaring, men's hearts failing for fear, and perplexed of time, distress between the nations."
*...GIVE THE BEST THAT YOU
HAVE (SEE?); GIVE YOUR LIFE; GIVE YOUR TIME; GIVE EVERYTHING TO CHRIST.
THE.PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 229-285 WEDNESDAY_ 60-1207
82 .....See it just goes to show: give the best that you have (See?); give your life; give
your time; give everything to Christ. And that same Spirit that lived in Christ lives in you,
and--and your influence in your neighborhood and upon the people that you deal
with, will be so much like Christ till it'll work the same thing Christ did.
84 .....Always do right, your duty to God; think right, that's
your duty to yourself; and you've got to come out right. That's right, you just have to.
oh 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto 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.
