*BY FOREKNOWLEDGE HE COULD SET IN ORDER TO MAKE EVERYTHING WORK TO HIS GLORY,

GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 57-0407M

E-79 Now, Jesus never come to earth just to say, "I'll have preachers go out and preach some, tell them about what I done, and maybe somebody will feel sorry for Me and get saved." God don't run His office like that.

There God at the beginning knowed exactly who would be saved. Jesus come to save those, that God knew would be saved. He wasn't willing that they'd be lost. But to be God, He knowed who would be lost and who would be saved. Therefore He could predestinate, not predestinate... He--He fore... By foreknowledge He could set in order to make everything work to His glory, because that's...

…The devil don't know what's going to happen. He doesn't know what's going to happen. Only thing he knows; he's just the devil. And he just does what he can do. And everything he can get into, he does it. But God knows the end. Amen. So God knowing the end, He can make everything work right to His Glory. Amen. Oh, I love Him. My, my. See? He's God.

*WHEN MEN AND WOMEN USED TO PRAY ALL NIGHT, AND THEIR HOMES WERE SET IN ORDER BY THE BOOK OF THE LORD, AND GOD WAS FIRST IN THEIR HO

ME...

HEAR.HIS.VOICE_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 58-1005M

E-33 …..Now, we've had a lot of impersonations of that. Satan is really on the job. And many years gone by people were afraid to say that unless it was the Lord. But today they just don't care. But it's a rare thing to hear the voice of the Lord and to find a person that can say, "The Lord spoke to me."

You notice that amongst the people any more, that they hardly hear a time that when they say, "The Lord spoke to me." When men and women used to pray all night, and their homes were set in order by the Book of the Lord, and God was first in their home...

*…SET IN ORDER, CHURCH WITH THE WORD, THEN LET THE SPIRIT COME DOWN IN WITH THE WORD, AND THEN WATCH WHAT TAKES PLACE... IT'LL MANIFEST EVERY TIME.

GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY.OF.APPROACH.TO.FELLOWSHIP_ KLAMATH.FALLS.OR SATURDAY_ 60-0709

E-42 I've found so much of that in my time. Some people were really spirited, but had not the Truth. To you that was at the breakfast this morning, the subject I spoke on, I'm sure you understand what I mean. All right, got truth, set in order, church with the Word, then let the Spirit come down in with the Word, and then watch what takes place... It'll manifest every time.

*AND THE WORD OF GOD SHOULD BE KEPT IN A CLEAN PLACE. A DIRTY HEART HAS NO PLACE FOR THE WORD OF GOD.

GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY.OF.APPROACH.TO.FELLOWSHIP_ KLAMATH.FALLS.OR SATURDAY_ 60-0709

E-43 And the Word of God should be kept in a clean place. A dirty heart has no place for the Word of God. It should be kept in a true, unadulterated heart, that's separated from the things of the world. "If you love the world or the things of the world, the love of God isn't in you." The Scripture says so. Then people today...

Why our churches doesn't move the way they should, they got too much world in there, trying to mix the waters of separation with it, and it must be kept in a clean place to see manifestations of the Spirit, in a clean heart. Kept in a clean place...

*TODAY THE BIBLE IS THE LETTER. IT'S THE BLUEPRINT WHERE THE CHURCH IS TO BE BUILT, THE PLAN OF SALVATION, HOW TO LIVE…

JEHOVAH.JIREH_ KARLSRUHE.GR WEDNESDAY_ 55-0817

E-8 Today the Bible is the letter. It's the--it's the expression of God towards His people. It's the Blueprint where the Church is to be built, the plan of salvation, how to live, how to treat the neighbors, and His promises. Then after that, He sends the Holy Spirit to confirm this Word. In order to do that, He sets in the Church first, apostles, prophets, teachers, and evangelists, all these are for the perfecting of the Church. That's Church offices, not office here on earth, but coming from heaven. Then in the Church, He sends gifts of healing, gifts of prophecy.

*…IF YOU GET EVERYTHING RUNNING JUST RIGHT, IT'S GOING TO RUN; EVERYTHING'S SET IN ORDER.

GOD'S.ONLY.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ SHP.LA V-7 N-4 SUNDAY_ 65-1128M

108 Now, you can't take this... your sincerity and all that you want to confess, you just can't take it to the Methodist altar, to a Baptist altar, to a Pentecostal altar, but there is a altar somewhere that He chose that He... to put His Name in it, and He would meet you at that place. Now, if you get everything running just right, it's going to run; everything's set in order. If there's a short in that wire, that light won't come on; because it's been grounded. And when you'll take one of God's Words or one of His places, and in your own heart have selfish objectives, it'll ground the power of God right there. If you do it because you want to be smart, you want to be different from somebody else, or something, right there it's grounded, it'll blow the fuse. You're wrong. You've got to come with sincerity, with all your heart. Your motives and your objective, place that on God. Then search for His place, find where He said, and bring it there. See?

*I'M EXPECTING THE HOLY GHOST TO COME DOWN AND SET IN ORDER A CHURCH THAT'LL GO TO MEET HIM,… GOD PROMISED IT, THAT THERE'D BE A CHURCH THERE WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE ON IT.

EXPECTATION_ LONG.BEACH.CA TUESDAY_ 61-0207

E-50 "Sons of God are led by the Spirit of God," not led by some other fanatics or some organizations or something or another, they're led by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit was given to the church to be the Overseer, the Tutor that was to raise the children of God, not our bishops, and cardinals, and so forth, but the Holy Ghost. I'm expecting the Holy Ghost, not denomination, not a bishop, not a Catholic priest, not a Baptist preacher, or a Pentecostal preacher; I'm expecting the Holy Ghost to come down and set in order a church that'll go to meet Him, filled with the power and the resurrection of Christ. I'm expecting that; I believe it. God promised it, that there'd be a church there without spot or wrinkle on it. I'm expecting it because God said it was so.

*THE THING FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO FIND IS HIS PLACE IN GOD, WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO, AND THEN ABIDE IN THAT PLACE.

EARLY.SPIRITUAL.EXPERIENCES_ HAMMOND.IN SUNDAY_ 52-0713A

E-8 But now, gifts and callings are without repentance. If God sees the hour, sees the place, sets the thing in order, and it happens just that way. Now, there's no way at all to try to--to get out of that, because it's going to happen. Now, the thing for every individual to find is his place in God, what God has called you to do, and then abide in that place.

*THAT'S WHAT THE CHURCH, IF IT'S IN ORDER (SET IN ORDER), IT ONLY... IT'S GOT THE MECHANICS READY, IT ONLY NEEDS THEN THE DYNAMICS.

I.HAVE.HEARD.BUT.NOW.I.SEE_ SHREVEPORT.LA V-7 N-3 SATURDAY_ 65-1127E

81 That's what the church, if it's in order (set in order), it only... it's got the mechanics ready, it only needs then the dynamics. Tonight, if we'll get the mechanics ready, get our hearts right, the things that we can do, follow every Word, follow Him in baptism, follow Him in every order that He told us to do, get every mechanic ready, and stand there; then we're ready for the dynamics to be lit off, and only God can do that; and that's to drop into your heart that faith that says, "I am now healed." Then don't make any difference what circumstances is, you're healed anyhow; 'cause it's faith, by faith you're healed.

*ALL THOSE PROPHECY THAT IT CAN PERFECTLY SET IN ORDER FOR THIS DAY, IN THE SCRIPTURE, WE SEE IT LIVING RIGHT THERE.

THE.RAPTURE_ YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 SATURDAY_ 65-1204

141 The first thing comes, when He starts descending from the Heaven, there's a shout. What is it? Is a Message, to get the people together. A Message comes forth, first. Now, lamp-trimming time, "Rise and trim your lamps." What watch was that? The seventh, not the sixth. The seventh, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh. Rise and trim your lamps." And they did. Some of them found they didn't even have any Oil in their lamp. See? But it's lamp-trimming time.

It's Malachi-4 time. What He prom-... Is Luke 17. It's--it's Isa-... All those prophecy that It can perfectly set in order for this day, in the Scripture, we see it living right there. There's no...

25-0106P_KEEPING YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE

Php 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Php 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Heb 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
Heb 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Heb 3:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

Luk 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

Luk 14:29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

Luk 14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Luk 14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

AS.THE.EAGLE.STIRRETH.UP.HER.NEST_ YAKIMA.WA THURSDAY_ 60-0804

And I stood outside, and I got to myself and walked around to get my car. Then something said to me; it was Satan; he said, "But what about you? Oral's ministry come off of yours, so did Tommy Osborn. Here you are. Where's your IBM machines?"

A little old end of a trailer that Brother Leo let's me have an office in, a phone setting in there, and a little secondhanded typewriter. "What about that?"

I said, "Oh, I would sure hate for them to come see that."

Satan says, "You see, He don't--can't trust you."

I said, "I guess that's right." See? "All them brother with all, I guess, He--He just can't trust me, that's all." And I was standing there looking there, and I got real broke up; I thought, "O God. As hard as I've tried and everything else." And I said then, "Look what You have done."

Just then I heard a voice said, "But I am your Portion." Amen.

I thought, "Oh, God, a tent or a cottage, why should I care. You're building a palace for me over there, of rubies and diamonds, and silver and gold. His coffers are full. He has riches untold. I'm a child, an eagle, of the King, a child of the King; with Jesus, my Saviour, I'm a child of the King. Oh, my.

25-0103A_THE MESSAGE OF GRACE PT-21 (SET IN ORDER)

1Co 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

Exo 39:35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

Exo 39:36 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

Exo 39:37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

Exo 39:38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,

Exo 39:39 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

Exo 40:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Exo 40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

Exo 40:3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

Exo 40:4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

Psa 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

BELIEVEST.THOU.THIS_ LA.CA SUNDAY_ 51-0506A

E-35 Now, I could think of when Zacharias... God setting Hisself in order, getting His church ready... Zacharias, the great high priest--or great priest, rather, he was to burn incense. He had a home that was consecrated to God.

God give us some more homes like that. Yes, sir. They believe God and waited on God. And Elisabeth, his wife, was barren. She was way past the age now, and she was barren. And down--had pray for years for God to give them children, but seemingly, He had not done it.

*AND EACH CHURCH HAS ITS DOCTRINE, AND ORDER, AND DISCIPLINE.

1191-1 …..The first thing I wish to say is that the pastor is always in full charge of the Tabernacle in my absence, and I only look to the pastor when I return. So he is in full charge to change or to do whatsoever he thinks is best under the leadership of the Holy Spirit while I am away.

*NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITION IS, THE LAW OF GOD'S WORD FORCES THE CONDITION TO COPE WITH HIS WORD.

THE.RESTORATION.OF.THE.BRIDE.TREE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_ 62-0422

21-1 Job said, "Though the skin worms destroys my body, yet in my flesh I'll see God."

Regardless of how little we are, how low we are, how impure we are, how unholy we are, how sick we are, how afflicted we are, the law of God's Spirit by His Word, makes it obey Him, forces the issue, and says, "Give it back." Amen.

Oh, if we could just think of that for a minute. Forces it, regardless of conditions? No matter what the condition is, the law of God's Word forces the condition to cope with His Word. See? It's got to.

Now, if a flower is laying there, and it's dead; the seeds are rotten, gone; the pulp's gone out; that doesn't have one thing to do with it. It raises again, 'cause God set a law for it to rise again.

*THEN HE SENT THIS SAME WORD AND ANCHORS IT OUT THERE, AND THEN COMES AND HOVERS OVER IT BY THE HOLY GHOST

GOD.HATH.A.PROVIDED.WAY_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 56-0108

E-38 Then He anointed preachers and set It out now to bring the Word, to put the eggs in the right position, place. Then He sent this same Word and anchors It out there, and then comes and hovers over It by the Holy Ghost, until that Word becomes Life in the human heart; and all devils out of hell couldn't keep Life out of it. Yes, sir.

No, no, whatever the egg is, if it's a duck egg, it'll bring a duck. If it's a chicken, it'll bring a chicken. If it's a bird, it'll bring a bird. If God promised salvation, take It into your heart. The Holy Ghost will brood over It till It comes to Life. If He promised healing, take It in your heart; It's God's provided way.

*AND IF THIS WORD IS CORRECTLY SET IN ORDER, AND TAUGHT BY THE MINISTER, GOD'S SOLEMNLY UNDER OBLIGATION TO HIS SON TO ANSWER THAT WORD AND FULFILL IT.

GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY.OF.HEALING_ CHICAGO.IL MONDAY_ 54-0719A

E-7 …..And the Urim Thummim from that priesthood was taken away, but here is the Urim Thummim of the priesthood today, the Word of God. If a dreamer, or a prophet, or a preacher, or anything teaches contrary to this Bible, it's wrong. Let him be accursed. But it must be built solidly upon this Word, as THUS SAITH THE LORD. And if this Word is correctly set in order, and taught by the minister, God's solemnly under obligation to His Son to answer that Word and fulfill it. Now, that's the way I believe the Bible. I believe every word of It.

Now, there may be times that I may not be able to set it together. I don't believe there's any mortal in the world can correctly set every word together, but we only can as the Holy Spirit inspires us to do. Many times, it's contrary to our teaching.

*BY FOREKNOWLEDGE HE COULD SET IN ORDER TO MAKE EVERYTHING WORK TO HIS GLORY,

GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 57-0407M

*THIS GREAT CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD IN THESE LAST DAYS SHOULD BE FAR DOWN THE ROAD WITH EVERY DIVINE GIFT SET IN ORDER, A GREAT, BEAUTIFUL CHURCH.

HEAR.YE.HIM_ EDMONTON.ALBERTA WEDNESDAY_ 57-0807

E-26 And that's what's the matter with the church today, the reason that we don't have great mighty manifestations. This great church of the living God in these last days should be far down the road with every Divine gift set in order, a great, beautiful church. But we have broke up into denominations, and isms, and little fusses, and everything, till God can do no more with us, until we come together and get our hearts right with God. That's why our blessings are about run out. That's why in the churches it's getting cold and cooling off, is because we've been indifferent towards God, His Spirit, and His Word. It's true. We never welcome the Holy Spirit no more.

*AND ALL THE SCRIPTURE IS DIVINELY GIVEN, DIVINELY SET IN ORDER, AND THE WHOLE THING IS THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.

CHRIST.IS.REVEALED.IN.HIS.OWN.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0822M

138 And all the Scripture is Divinely given, Divinely set in order, and the whole thing is the revelation of Jesus Christ. The New and Old Testament, where they foretold of Him coming, what He would do when He got here, and what He would do in this age to come. So that makes Him the same yesterday, today, and forever. See?

…..And He ever lives to make His Word live what It said It would do for that age. He is alive.

*AND IF WE SEE EVERYTHING SET IN ORDER, THE GOING HOME OF THE CHURCH IS IN ORDER.

Everything's in order. I'm so glad. I'm getting so tired. Oh, for that great hour. And to think that we've had a part in this junction time. Remember, "So shall it be in the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed from heaven." Now, remember, before the rain fell, Noah was in the ark. Before the fire fell, Lot was out of Sodom, for the Angel said, "I can't do nothing until you come hither. I've got the lever in my hand to pull and make the fires fall from heaven." And I think that's exactly: the Angel of destruction is holding the hand of Russia, with the atomic bombs, until the church comes together as one great body of Christ. "I can't do nothing till you come hither." Oh, if that isn't a blessed assurance. And if we see everything set in order, the going home of the church is in order. Here's the Angel of God with the same message, performing the same signs, the same wonders; everything's set in order.

1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Eph 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Eph 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Eph 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Eph 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Eph 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Eph 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

*OH, HOW GLORIOUS IT IS TO REMEMBER OUR LORD, REMEMBER WHAT ALL HE DID FOR US, AND REMEMBER THAT THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE COULD MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

REMEMBERING.THE.LORD_ PHOENIX.AZ TUESDAY_ 63-0122

42 And while we are enjoying these blessings, each one feeling His Presence, and saying, "Amen. Praise God! Hallelujah!" so forth, in that we can remember the One that brought it to us and made it possible, the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Remember Him. I think that's what, many times, that maybe we enjoy so many blessings, that we forget just where they come from.

43 One time I was amazed. Went with a bunch of Christians of a certain church, and they set down to eat, and never returned thanks to God, for their food. Well, I thought it was kind of strange. And I went to another house, and they, still, they just went ahead and eat. And I--I questioned it. And they said, "Oh, well. That's just... God just provides that, anyhow. See?"

44 I said, "It reminds me of a hog under a apple tree, you know. The apples will fall off, and beat him on the head all day long; he'll never look up, see where they're coming from."

45 And that, you know, we, I think it pays us to stop and look up, see where these things are coming from. Oh, how glorious it is to remember our Lord, remember what all He did for us, and remember that there was no one else could make this possible. There is nothing could make it possible but our Lord. And He so freely did it, when there was no worthy person; there was no prophet, there was no sage, no potentate, no monarch, no king. No one could do it but the Lord Jesus, Himself, and He so willingly did it for us. Let's just remember. He's done it for His children down through the age.

*IT'S A PLEASURE TO SERVE THE LORD JESUS, TO COME INTO HIS COURTS WITH THANKSGIVING, TO MAKE KNOWN HIS--HIS BLESSINGS TO THE PEOPLE.

THE.ANGEL.OF.THE.LORD_ CONNERSVILLE.IN THURSDAY_ 53-0604

E-2 It's a pleasure to serve the Lord Jesus, to come into His courts with thanksgiving, to make known His--His blessings to the people. And I don't think there's anything greater to talk about in the world today, than Jesus Christ. Do you think so? Someone said, not long ago, said, "Brother Branham, you brag too much on Jesus." I don't think so. I think He's worthy of everything I could say about Him. I just can't say enough about Him, for I know that He's worthy of everything that I would say. And I praise Him. We... And pray to Him. Love Him. We just can't love Him enough.

*IT'S JUST THE GOODNESS OF GOD. BUT GOD IS THE GIVER OF EVERY GOOD THING

THE.TIME.IS.AT.HAND_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 56-0408E

E-38 Now, the man that makes an automobile to give you transportation, or an airplane, it's just the goodness of God. But God is the Giver of every good thing, and only healing can come through Almighty God. Yes, sir.

I'd like to see the man that if I'd break my arm, I'd lay out to him and say, "Doctor, heal my arm right quick. I got to continue on my message." Why, he'd think I was crazy. Certainly. He can't do it. He'd say, "I'll set your arm."

"Well, I thought you could heal. If you can heal me, heal me. I want to be healed." He can't.

The only thing he can do is say, "Sir, I can set your arm and get it in place. Almighty God has to do the rest." That's right.

He might take appendix out, or pull a tooth out, but he'd never heal the place it come from. That's right. It takes God. God builds tissue. God is the only Healer.

IDENTIFIED.WITH.CHRIST_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-4 SUNDAY_ 59-1220E

79 Share in His meekness, you'll share also in His power. Share in His obedience, and you'll share in His resurrection. Do as God says do. In my heart the greatest thing that I could think of is to be like Jesus Christ, to be identified with Him. There's why I baptize the people in the Name of Jesus Christ, because He is our Identification. We pack the identification. "Whatsoever you do in word or in deed do it in the Name of Jesus Christ, giving praise to God for it." And we are identified with Him in baptism.

*THE PROOF OF HIS LOVE IS ELECTION--THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED, HIS LOVE WAS PROVEN TRULY BY THE FACT THEY WERE CHOSEN UNTO SALVATION…

117-1 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

You see, they could not figure out God's love. They thought that love meant no suffering. They thought that love meant a baby with parental care. But God said that His love was "elective" love. The proof of His love is ELECTION--that no matter what happened, His love was proven truly by the fact they were chosen unto salvation (because God hath chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth). He may commit you to death as He did Paul. He may commit you to suffering as He did Job. That is His prerogative. He is sovereign. But it is all with a purpose. If He did not have a purpose, then He would be the author of frustration and not of peace. His purpose is that after we have suffered awhile we would be made perfect, be established, strengthened and settled. As Job said, "He puts strength in us." (Job 23:6b) You see He, Himself, suffered. He learned obedience by the things that He suffered. He was actually made perfect by the things that He suffered.

*THE GOODNESS OF GOD WILL COME INTO YOUR HEART. THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION WILL MAKE YOU A NEW PERSON.

IDENTIFIED.WITH.CHRIST_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-4 SUNDAY_ 59-1220E

80 …..And if there's any desire in your heart that you want--have any great worldly ambitions, repent of them right now. Tell God you're sorry that you wanted to be some great worldly person. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Say, "Lord, my complete ambition is to be like Jesus. Come meekly, humbly. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] And then when you put your hands upon His head and by faith confess your sins, say, "Lord, I'm sorry I done it." Then what will happen? God will transfer all your guilt over on Him and take His innocence and put it back on you, and you stand justified in the Presence of God, because you believed on Jesus Christ, His Son. What a plan of salvation. Then you'll share in His glory. The goodness of God will come into your heart. The power of His resurrection will make you a new person. It'll satisfy every longing.

Psa 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

Psa 116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

Psa 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Psa 116:16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

Psa 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

Psa 116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

Psa 116:19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

Psa 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Psa 69:31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

Psa 69:32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

Psa 69:33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

Psa 69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

Psa 69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

Psa 69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

24-1227A_THE MESSAGE OF GRACE PT-20 (SET IN ORDER)

Exo 39:35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

Exo 39:36 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

Exo 39:37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

Exo 40:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Exo 40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

Exo 40:3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

Exo 40:4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

1Co 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

1Co 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

*…FIRST CHURCH WAS SET IN ORDER, WAS INAUGURATED ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST… THEY HAD A FAITH IN A RESURRECTED LIVING CHRIST… BUT THEY WERE CONTENDING FOR A--A LIVING CHRIST, A RESURRECTED ONE WHO WAS IN THEIR MIDST.

EARNESTLY.CONTENDING.FOR.THE.FAITH.THAT.WAS.ONCE.DELIVERED.TO.THE.SAINTS_ CONNERSVILLE.IN SUNDAY_ 53-0614A

E-6 Now, let's look what they had back there, what that Church contended for, what they had lost. Now, just thirty-three years after the beginning of the Church...

Now, you know Jude wouldn't be talking about back in the Old Testament under the Levitical laws. See? 'Cause they were... this... He's a Christian. He was talking about when the first Church was set in order, was inaugurated on the day of Pentecost.

And now, we'll notice what kind of a faith that they had. They had a faith in a resurrected living Christ, someone who'd rose from the dead and was living among them, just the same as He was before He ever died. Now, that... See, they wasn't contending for some historical affair, but they were contending for a--a living Christ, a resurrected One Who was in their midst.

*LET IT BE SET IN ORDER AND IN THE BIBLE.

GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD_ STURGIS.MI TUESDAY_ 57-0115

E-71 Now, my contentions is this: Don't--don't never, never accept anything, 'less it comes out of the Bible. See? This is the Blueprint. Let it be set in order and in the Bible. And God's the omnipotent One, the omnipresent, the infinite God Who knows all things, and has predicted that in these last days these signs would take place. The things that He did would be done again before the coming of the Lord.

…..But tell me one time that the true Word of God ever failed. You got a bunch of fantastics. So was those priests. Do you understand what I'm meaning? Those preachers, prophets with them horns butting around, "Oh, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THUS SAITH THE LORD." But it didn't cope with the Scripture. See? But when it's absolutely coping with the Scripture, it has to come to pass.

*YOU'LL FIND GOD IS A GOD OF ORDER, AND HE WILL BRING THE THING RIGHT UP THEN.

A.GREATER.THAN.SOLOMON.IS.HERE_ S.PINES.NC WEDNESDAY_ 58-0625

E-64 …..The gifts that's in the church, God give the church, the power, but He never took it away from the church. I can show you where He give it to the church, you show me where He took it away. You've got the power, but you don't know how to use it. You're not reverent enough. That's the reason you all speaking with tongues, you just use it any way. Ever--every... Some be speaking in tongues; others doing this, and... just like a Babylon. Don't to that. Put those things in their places. Put all your gifts in there, you're teachers, you're apostles. Put everything in it's place, and then operate in decency and in order. You'll find God is a God of order, and He will bring the thing right up then.

*THAT'S WHAT THE CHURCH, IF IT'S IN ORDER (SET IN ORDER), IT ONLY... IT'S GOT THE MECHANICS READY, IT ONLY NEEDS THEN THE DYNAMICS.

I.HAVE.HEARD.BUT.NOW.I.SEE_ SHREVEPORT.LA V-7 N-3 SATURDAY_ 65-1127E

81 That's what the church, if it's in order (set in order), it only... it's got the mechanics ready, it only needs then the dynamics. Tonight, if we'll get the mechanics ready, get our hearts right, the things that we can do, follow every Word, follow Him in baptism, follow Him in every order that He told us to do, get every mechanic ready, and stand there; then we're ready for the dynamics to be lit off, and only God can do that; and that's to drop into your heart that faith that says, "I am now healed." Then don't make any difference what circumstances is, you're healed anyhow; 'cause it's faith, by faith you're healed.

*A TRUE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL MOVE RIGHT WITH THE WORD, FOR HE'S THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER.

GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD_ STURGIS.MI TUESDAY_ 57-0115

E-72 …..Now, men of old foreordained to this con... How can they believe when the Bible has done said they can't believe? How can we stop all that nonsense that's going on around in the land? How can we do it when God said it would be? Well, then you say, "Which is right and wrong?" Like Micaiah was, with the Bible. A true Spirit of God will move right with the Word, for He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

*AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GIVE YOU: HIS WORD, HIS PROMISE. AND YOU'RE GETTING IT IN YOUR HEART, AND THE HOLY GHOST IS BROODING OVER IT.

GOD.HATH.A.PROVIDED.WAY_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 56-0108

E-37 Oh, God, He sent His Word. And that's what I'm trying to give you: His Word, His promise. He prepared it at Calvary. He prepared the Sacrifice for your healing this morning. He's got it here and He watches over it. And you're getting it in your heart, and the Holy Ghost is brooding over it. It'll take Life and produce just exactly what God said it would produce. Every word will produce just exactly what it promised, 'cause God has provided it.

And God is so set in order, that one day, through all the types, back through Adam, through Eve, on down through the prophets, down through Abraham He set in order; He put it all in the Old Testament, showing what He was going to do. And He finished it at Calvary when He sent Jesus, Who was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace upon Him, with His stripes we were healed. He finished it at Calvary.
