*GOD HAS A TIME AND A REASON FOR THAT TIME TO FULFILL ALL HIS WORK.

THE.REPROACH.FOR.THE.CAUSE.OF.THE.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-16  SUNDAY_  62-1223

  11-2    God has a time and a reason for that time to fulfill all His work. God knows just exactly what He's going to do. We don't. We just have to receive It as He gives It to us. But He knows, and there's nothing going to go wrong with what He--He's planned to do. It's all has to come about. There has to be sometimes rugged and hard things to only bring out the real true nature of the object.

You know, rain is born in a jagged, ragged, lightning strowed, thundering skies. And if we didn't have rain, we wouldn't live. But you see what it takes to bring rain? Thunder, lightning, flashing, anger; and out of there comes rain.

A seed must die, rot, corrupt, smell, and go back to the dust of the earth in order to bring forth new life.

It takes the pounding of gold, turned over and over, back and forth, and pounded until all the dross is taken out of it. Not because it shines, 'cause iron pyrite, what is known as fool's gold, shines like real gold; but you put the two together... You set them out to one side, you can hardly tell them apart; but put them together, you can tell it. And the beater always has to beat till he--he sees his own image reflecting in the gold.

 

*EVERYTHING HAS ITS TIME, ITS SEASON, AND IT HAS ITS WAY; AND GOD IS BEHIND EVERY MOVE.

THE.REPROACH.FOR.THE.CAUSE.OF.THE.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-16  SUNDAY_  62-1223

  11-6    And God sets a time and has a purpose for everything that He does. There's nothing happens just accidentally to those who love the Lord and are called according to His calling. See, we are predestinated. And everything works just right for that; because He cannot lie, and He said that was so, that everything has its time, its season, and it has its way; and God is behind every move. And sometimes you think that everything's going wrong. It's up to us. Those things are put upon us, trials and wonderings; it's testing to see how we will react on a action.

THE.REPROACH.FOR.THE.CAUSE.OF.THE.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-16  SUNDAY_  62-1223

  11-7    Some time ago in--up in Vermont, Brother Fred and I went over on the New York side, across the Lake Champlain. And we had got over on the New York side, and I went up in a mountain where that--up on the Hurricane Mountain, where I used to hunt. And there, I remember when I was lost, and how that God would--led me back just by the Holy Spirit alone through a storm that... I'd have died, perished, and so would my wife and Billy down in a little camp miles away. And I was turned around.

And there was just a little snow we pulled through to get into the camp early in the spring. And I was standing there talking to Brother Fred, and the Holy Spirit said, "Go out to yourself," and I moved out into the bush a little place, and He told me, "There's a trap set for you. Be careful now." But He didn't tell me how or what.

THE.REPROACH.FOR.THE.CAUSE.OF.THE.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-16  SUNDAY_  62-1223

  12-2    I come back and told Brother Fred, went to the church that night in the auditorium and announced it to the people, and the next night it happened. And then standing there when He told me upon some mockers. He said, "It's in your hands. Do with them; whatever you say will happen right now."

There you are. For somebody irreverent, ungodly, and they were making fun and scoffing at the meeting, a young man and a young woman. And he was trying to--vulgar love make with her in the building, and everybody's attention while I was trying to preach. He'd pull her head back and climb up in her lap, and throw her head back and try to kiss her, and going on like that in the meeting, drawing the attention.

And the Holy Spirit said, "Now, he's--they're in your hands. What will you do with them?" There was a holy hush. Everybody set deathly quiet. And I thought, "O God, what must I do?"

Then I remembered if it happened in the warning of the Holy Spirit two days before. I said, "I forgive you."

Now, that was what He wanted me to say. See, because after all, I--I've been guilty, maybe not of that, but I--I--guilty. And guilty of the least is of the whole. So I said, "I forgive you." And there's witnesses setting here now was there then. Then the Holy Spirit fell through.

THE.REPROACH.FOR.THE.CAUSE.OF.THE.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-16  SUNDAY_  62-1223

  12-7    Now, you see, I believe that all these things had a meaning. What would you do with the power? How would you... See, the reaction of an action, something that is come as an act, then how do you react to that action? Do you understand what I mean? What would you do? And maybe all of this has worked up to where we're at now. I don't know. I--I just can't say.

THE WORD HAS ALWAYS BORE A REPROACH.

But there's always been some way... And remember, that the reproach of--of the Word has... The Word has always bore a reproach. All through the ages, God's anointed Word has always been reproached, and that's the reason it's so hard for people who doesn't understand would know how to accept that reproach.

THE.REPROACH.FOR.THE.CAUSE.OF.THE.WORD_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-16  SUNDAY_  62-1223

  13-1    Can you remember the disciples returning back and rejoicing because they figured that they were counted worthy to stand the reproach of His Name? He said, "All that live godly in Christ shall bear a persecution," the reproach of the Word.

*THERE'S NOT ENOUGH DEVILS IN TORMENT BUT WHAT GOD'S WORD WILL BE MADE MANIFEST.

You always have to stand this reproach in order to give your testing to see. Every man that comes to Christ must first be child-trained for the--for the purpose that God has ordained you for. And remember, if you could just keep quiet... Remember, if He's called you for this, there's nothing that can keep it from happening. There's not enough devils in torment but what God's Word will be made manifest. You're born for a purpose. And nobody can take your place. You might have impersonators and everything else, but they'll never take your place. That's right. God's Word will triumph. It cannot fail.

There's where every Christian ought to stand, knowing that--that... And trials will come up and seem every way to you. But remember, God has a purpose, and it all will work right.

God’s Approval

  118-2    SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

The cloudy skies and storms of life are no signs of God's disapproval. Neither are bright skies and still waters signs of His love and approval. His approval of any of us is only IN THE BELOVED. His love is elective which He had for us before the foundation of the world. Does He love us? Ah yes. But how shall we know? We shall know because He SAID SO, and manifested that He did love us for He brought us to Himself and gave us of His Spirit, placing us as sons. And how shall I prove my love to Him? By believing what He said, and by conducting myself with joy amidst the trials that He in His wisdom allows to come to pass.

Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

Rom 8:29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 

Rom 8:30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 

Rom 8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 

Rom 8:32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 

Rom 8:33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 

Rom 8:34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 

Rom 8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

Rom 8:36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 

Rom 8:37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 

Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 

Rom 8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 

Gen 1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 

Gen 1:4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 

Gen 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 

Gen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 

Gen 1:7  And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 

Gen 1:8  And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 

Gen 1:9  And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 

Gen 1:10  And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 

Gen 1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 

Gen 1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 

Ecc 3:12  I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 

Ecc 3:13  And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 

Ecc 3:14  I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 

Isa 28:8  For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. 

Isa 28:9  Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 

Isa 28:10  For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 

Isa 28:11  For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 

Isa 28:12  To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 

Isa 28:13  But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 

Isa 28:14  Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 

Mat 24:34  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 

Mat 24:35  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 

Mat 24:36  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 

Mat 24:37  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

Mat 24:38  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

Heb 6:17  Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 

Heb 6:18  That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 

Heb 6:19  Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; 

Heb 6:20  Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 

Heb 10:14  For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 

Heb 10:15  Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 

Heb 10:16  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 

Heb 10:17  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 

Heb 10:18  Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 

Heb 10:19  Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 

Heb 10:20  By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 

Heb 10:21  And having an high priest over the house of God; 

Heb 10:22  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 

Heb 8:7  For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 

Heb 8:8  For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 

Heb 8:9  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 

Heb 8:10  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 

Jer 31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

Jer 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. 

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO ENFORCE (IF THERE'S A LAW), TO ENFORCE THIS RIGHTFUL CONDITION OF RESTORATION--TO RESTORE.

        15-1   …..But to restore is to bring it back to who really owns it, or to bring it back to its natural estate, where it was at the first time--bring it back into its natural condition. And in order to do this we have a right to enforce (if there's a law), to enforce this rightful condition of restoration--to restore.

        15-4    Enforce... Then, we are the--have the privilege to enforce upon Satan the claims that God give us, for God has a law; and His Word is the Law. And God in this Word made certain claims to the church. Therefore, we have a right to force these claims upon Satan and say, "Give it back."

        And he has to do it, because we can take God's Agent, the Holy Spirit, go right down on our knees, and say, "It's THUS SAITH THE LORD." He's got to give it up; that's all, 'cause the Holy Spirit's there to make him do it.

AND THE CHURCH IS GIVEN THE RIGHTFUL, LEGAL RIGHTS BY THE BIBLE, TO TAKE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND ENFORCE THIS UPON THEM.


        15-6    The law of the land is to enforce--it's by the land, for the land. But the Law of the Spirit of God is to force Satan to give up that which he has unrightfully, deceitfully taken from God. Souls of men he took from God, souls of women, children; sickness of the body, he placed upon people where God made them in His image to be like Him. And the church is given the rightful, legal rights by the Bible, to take the Holy Spirit and enforce this upon them.

*THERE'S A LAW, THERE'S A LAW GIVEN AMONGST EVERYTHING.


        17-7    There's a law... Oh, if I ever get to my text. There's a law, there's a law given amongst everything. You know, a fish has a law. And that fish can stand up here in water, and he has a law within him. If he will just let go of that law that's in him, he can sink plumb to the bottom of the sea: won't bother him a bit; won't break one cell.

        You try to do it. That law's not in you. You can't do it, but the fish can. He deflates himself of that air, such a way that he can; there's nothing in him to burst open. And he's made that way; he knows it, and he can enforce that law to take him plumb to the bottom of the sea and then raise him back up again.

        18-1    Oh, there was a law in Christ; that law's in man. You can bury him to the deepest grave, or the deepest sea, or the--the lowest hell; there's a law of the Spirit of God, that'll raise him up again. See?

*NOW, WE HAVE A LAW, THE LAW OF THE LIFE IN US.


        18-2    A bird has a law. Now, its body's material; it's earthbound, sets on the earth here; but it has a law within it, that the way it spreads its wings, it can fly plumb out of sight. That's against science. They claim it's--it's earthbound; gravitation has to hold it here. But it can defy gravitation, lift itself right off of it, and go right on out; because it has to put that law that's in it to work; and it's built to possess that law. Now, I'm begin to feel religious.

        18-3    Now, we have a law, the law of the Life in us. We don't... Only thing you have to do... You're made, and borned, and placed here in the Body of Christ as sons and daughters of God. You don't have to "knuck" down to the devil. We've got a law; that's the law of the Holy Spirit. The only thing you know--have to do, is know how to let go and let God. You keep fighting at it (See?), and it won't never work. When you let go and let God, that's all... See?

*HE'S GOT TO KNOW HOW TO CONTROL--HOW THAT LAW CAN CONTROL HIM.


        18-4    If the fish said, "Wait, I'll catch my breath real good; I'll breathe up a little oxygen in me, and I'll see if I can go down." No, he does that, he will burst open. See?

        The bird says, "I'll see how fast I can run down here, and maybe I'll take off." No, he won't do it; he will fall down. See? He's got to know how to control--how that law can control him.

        18-6    And the same way it is with us, it isn't what we fight, and pull, and--and hurry, and, "Oh, if I don't get this; if I don't get that"; that's not it; it's to know that the law of Life is in you. And you just let go and let God. Then He takes you to your healing, takes you to the baptism of the Spirit, or anything that He's promised. Any claim that He's given is yours, and by letting go and letting God...

*THE NEARING OF THE SON OF GOD IN THESE LAST DAYS COMING TO HIS CHURCH, RESTORES IT BACK TO LIFE AGAIN. "I WILL RESTORE…

        19-7    And so is it now with the people. All that the winter's coldest of cold, formal religion killed out there, the nearing of the Son of God in these last days coming to His church, restores It back to Life again. "I will restore saith the Lord." See?

        God restores His flowers, His leaves, His nature, His seed of the earth; and therefore, we know then that God will restore also His habitation. He will restore His Eden; He will restore everything that death killed. That's right…..

        Now, the only way it can ever remain dead is let it lay in the wrong place. But if it falls in the right place, it's got to come back to life again. So God, let us fall in the right channel (That's right.) for restoration.

*BUT GOD HAS A LAW, THAT WHEN THAT SUN COMES ONTO THE SEED, IT FORCES THAT LIFE OUT OF THE SEED.



        20-2    All that the winter killed, then the sun restores. Returning of the sun, what does it do? It forces (Listen.), it forces death... When the sun, the spring sun, comes back in line of the earth again, it actually forces death to give up its dead (Amen.) to a resurrection. For what? A restoration--a restore again.

        What does it? The sun coming; that's God's law. God set the earth in law, gravitation law; everything in nature works according to God's law. And the flower served its term; the seed served its term; it died into the earth, and then there is a restoration.

        And now, it's laying there dead. There's not a thing... We could take one of these here lights like this and turn it on it; and it would never do any good. There's no way for us to do it. But God has a law, that when that sun comes onto the seed, it forces that life out of the seed. Death can't hold it any more.

*GOD HAS SET ALL OF HIS LAWS TO SERVE HIM, BOTH NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL, WORKING ACCORDING TO HIS WORD, REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITIONS.

        20-5    God has set all of His laws to serve Him, both natural and spiritual, working according to His Word, regardless of the conditions. I love that, I have a Scripture here on that. Yes, sir.

        God sets all of His laws in motion. Think of it; let it soak in now, 'cause we're coming to a healing service in a few minutes. See? God set all of His laws into motion; that it must work according to His own Word (Are you getting it? See?)--His Word. His laws has to work according to His Word. He commanded the sun; He commanded the moon; He commanded the earth; He commanded nature; and they all fall right in line. And all the laws work in harmony with God's spoken Word. And the law of Life that's in us will also bring us to a resurrection. It's got to. It's impossible for it not.

*AND GOD'S LAW OF NATURE PULLS THE EARTH AROUND AND MAKES THAT LAW OF GOD IN NATURE BRING FORTH AN EASTER…


        …Easter is the resurrection, restoring, to restore back; it's God's restoring time. You look out over the earth: God is restoring. Restoring what? Nature. That's right. He's restoring the flowers; He's restoring the leaves; He's restoring the fruits of the field. What is it? God is restoring. It's Easter; means to "bring it back.“   What is it? There's been a--a sentence, a claim. Easter claims--or the--the--the flower claims it has a right to rise again. See? And God's law of nature pulls the earth around and makes that law of God in nature bring forth an Easter, a resurrection; It's beautifully. The return of the sun to restore what the winter killed, while it was from the earth…..And now, when the earth gets back around, the seeds is laying in the ground; they are frozen; the pulp's run out of them; the--and everything's gone; but there's a little life preserved.

        And as soon as the sun gets back in position with the earth again, then there is an Easter, a restoration. Up comes the flowers again; up comes everything. All that the winter killed, the sun restores. All that winter's death killed, the sun of life restores.

***THERE ISN'T ENOUGH POWER IN ALL HELL CAN EVER DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF GOD.


        E-40    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Now, a word is a thought expressed. God had in His mind what to do, but when He expressed it, it had to come into existence. It become a--it's become a reality because it was God's Word expressed.

        And there isn't... May you take me to record this morning, friend. There isn't enough power in all hell can ever defeat the purpose of God. God will do it anyhow.

*GOD WAS IN CHRIST RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF

        E-18    The hope of all the ages rests there on the Person of the Lord Jesus returning the second time.

He was a man, yes. But He was the God-man. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself: Jehovah's tabernacle. "Not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me," said the Son. "He doeth the works."

        Another words, in that day the Father was the Vine. He was the Branch to bear the fruit of God. Now, He becomes the Vine, and we become the branch. And all that was in God was poured into Christ...?... Here it is. It's...?... But listen. All that was in Christ was poured into the Church. "The works that I do shall you also. More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father." You see it? We are living under our God given privileges that God has redeemed us to.  

HEAR.YE.HIM_  LIMA.OH  FRIDAY_  57-0125

Col 1:16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 

Col 1:17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 

Col 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 

Col 1:19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 

Col 1:20  And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 

 

22-1017P_PERFECT STRENGTH IN PERFECT WEAKNESS PT.17 (OUR SUFFICIENCY NOW)

2Co 12:7  And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 

2Co 12:8  For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 

2Co 12:9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 

2Co 9:6  But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 

2Co 9:7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 

2Co 9:8  And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 

2Co 9:9  (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 

2Co 3:1  Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 

2Co 3:2  Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 

2Co 3:3  Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 

2Co 3:4  And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 

2Co 3:5  Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 

2Co 3:6  Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 

2Co 3:7  But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 

2Co 3:8  How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 

2Co 3:9  For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 

2Co 3:10  For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 

2Co 3:11  For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 

2Co 3:12  Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

OUR SUFFICIENCY NOW

276    God is your joy. God is your strength. Knowing the Message, knowing the Truth, that's our sufficiency now. He is my all-sufficiency. In Him, all things I have need of is in Him. That's our strength. "My help cometh from the Lord." You Christians, look to Him for your joy, look to Him for your strength, look for Him for your happiness. He is my peace. He is my joy. He is my love. He is my Life. That's a Covenant, the Token upon the door!

HE IS OUR ALL-SUFFICIENT STRENGTH.

God won't be undersold on anything. No, sir. You can't do this, because God sees to it. His Son became sin offering that He might buy--now take sinners and make sons of God out of them. What a beautiful thing that is. Now. Yes, sir.

  E-70    He--He gave his strength. He became weak that He might be our strength. He is our all-sufficient Strength. We don't need no other strength but the strength of the Lord Jesus. "He is my Strength from day to day. Without Him I would fall," said the poet. How wonderful.

What you forsake... What you receive for what you have forsook, my... Forsake the world. Forsake your own ideas. Forsake your doubts. Forsake your flusterations. Forsake it, and receive Him. Believe Him.

THE PRESENCE OF GOD BEING RECOGNIZED AMONG US. THAT'S WHAT WE OUGHT TO LIVE FOR.

112    We got better churches, better buildings and everything, but where is our strength, spiritually speaking? Oh, we could take a vote in the nation. Sure, we could do these things, but that--that ain't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Presence of God being recognized among us. That's what we ought to live for.

   57-5    What do we do? Take the Sword, which is the Word of God, pull It with what? A hand of faith, strong hand of faith, the two-edged Sword. The Bible said in Hebrews 4, It's--It's a two-edged Sword, cuts both coming and going.

Brother, what does he do? Take the Word... Take the Spirit, let the Spirit come into your heart, open up your mind, say, "Thy Word is Truth." (And you do this, sister.) "Thy Word is Truth. Lord, I ain't going to pay attention to how I feel, what anybody else says; I'm stopping up; I'm blowing out every one of my avenues. All the flusterations, and doubts, and unbeliefs that I've ever had; every feeling you ever had; all the sickness I ever had; everything else I ever had; I'm blowing them all out; I'm bypassing all them and coming right straight to my Spirit."

   58-1    "Oh, Lord, come down; You said, You made me a free moral agent?"

"You are, My Son."

"All right, I open up my heart and my mind. Come in, Lord Jesus"; and grab the faith, that Sword of the Spirit, THUS SAITH THE LORD. Scream, Hallelujah. Amen. Then cut down every enemy in front of you. Amen. There it is. Cut every enemy. If a--a old spooky spirit making you feel all... Cut that thing away with the Word of the Lord. Our strength is, the joy of the Lord is my strength. Get away from me. Whack him and cut him with the Word.

REGARDLESS OF HOW THE WIND BLOWS, HOW IT SEEMS THIS WAY, OR THAT WAY, OR HOW MANY THREATS COMES FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD, KEEP YOUR MINDS ON WHAT JESUS SAID.

FAITH_  CHICAGO.IL  SUNDAY_  53-1213E

To you dear Philadelphian people, regardless of how the wind blows, how it seems this way, or that way, or how many threats comes from the outside world, keep your minds on what Jesus said. He give us a promise; it's already ours. I don't care how great the opposition looks. God will fulfill His Word. Let's look to the Word of God. It's here for us.

  E-41    "I have give it to you already. Whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe you receive it, you shall have it. Whatever you ask the Father in My Name, that will I do. (Yes sir.) Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. The things that I do shall you also."

Here it is again, "If ye abide..." oh, I like that word, "Abide," not run here, and run there, and run here, and run there. But, "If ye abide in Me and My Words abide in you, then ask what you will, and it'll be given unto you." That's right. "If ye abide..." I like the abiding Church, don't you? Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine. You sing the old hymn. God has promised it; it's ours. Every man and woman in here has a right right now to claim your healing.

77    Mechanics ain't what runs the automobile. It's the dynamics that runs it.

78    The mechanics don't run the church; it's the dynamics, the Holy Ghost that gets into this Word. It's not a seminary that teaches you all the theology and the Greek interpretations. But it's the dynamics of the Holy Ghost in there, to set That afire and to bring it to pass, and to make it live just exactly what the promised Word is for this hour. Not the mechanics; the dynamics! It takes mechanics and dynamics, the Word and the Spirit, they are the One that gives Life.

  79      What God promised for the hour, look for it to be fulfilled. You must look to Him, because He is the Word. And the only way you can look to the Word, is look to Him. Look to Him, He is the Word, and the Word promised for this day is to be fulfilled this day. Noah's time could not be filled this day; it was only a type, Moses' time, and so forth. But this is the day that God has promised these things that we're now enjoying, these things that we're now seeing, that the world is laughing at, this great momentous power of the Holy Spirit that can change a sinner's heart, that can take a lukewarm church member and give him a testimony that will set the church afire, from where he come out of. It's the dynamic that got into the Word.

Just stay stabled. Just stay in the Word. Stay with God. No matter how you feel, what anything else; stay right with the Word. Let--let--let it stay stable, when you see all these great big old clouds around us, and storms a coming, and atomic bombs, and everything else they're talking about. But our stabilizer is right straight in the Word. God said it would be here; we'll crest every one of them. Yeah, we'll go right over the top of them. Yes, indeed! They, they can't sink us. They can't drown us. You put us in the grave; we'll come out again. That's just all there is to it. There ain't no way in the world to keep it down there. We'll crest every one of them, 'cause our great Chief Captain is calling at the other side.
