25-0912A_THE STATURE OF A PERFECT MAN PT-19 (IT'S GOD IN YOU THAT MAKES IT PERFECT)

2Pe 1:1  Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 

2Pe 1:2  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 

2Pe 1:3  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 

2Pe 1:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

2Pe 1:5  And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 

2Pe 1:6  And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 

2Pe 1:7  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 

2Pe 1:8  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

2Pe 1:9  But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 

2Pe 1:10  Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 

Mat 5:48  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

1Pe 1:15  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 

1Pe 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

1Ti 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, 

Rom 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

Joh 15:1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 

Joh 15:2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 

Joh 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. 

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. 

1Co 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 

1Co 3:17  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 

1Co 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 

1Ti 6:12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 

1Ti 6:13  I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 

1Ti 6:14  That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 

*IT'S GOD IN YOU THAT MAKES IT PERFECT.

TESTIMONY_  CLEVELAND.OH  WEDNESDAY_  50-0823

   E-31    …..Not as we are good. But my, there's none good but God. But God is in the people what makes them good, marks the perfect man. It's God in you that makes it perfect. See? "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." See? "Be ye therefore perfect." How can you be perfect? Not in yourself, but in Him. God don't look at you then; He looks at Him. Well, you say, "I'm in Him."

   How do you get in Him? By one Spirit we're all baptized into one Body, and then you're in Him, when you're baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body: I Corinthians 12. Is that true? Then in Him...

*FOR IT'S NOT MY HOLINESS, IT'S HIS HOLINESS. GOD CAN'T ACCEPT MINE; I HAVE NONE.

ISRAEL.AND.THE.CHURCH.2_  JEFF.IN  IC 35-64  THURSDAY_  53-0326

  28    God has already glorified His church. Those who He justified, He also glorified in the church, in Christ. If you're justified in Christ, you're glorified in Christ already, as far as God is concerned.

Jesus said, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." How could you ever be perfect? But in the sight of Christ tonight, every born-again Christian is perfect. I'm just as perfect in God as Christ was. You are too--every other believer. For it's not my holiness, it's His holiness. God can't accept mine; I have none. But I come in Christ, by faith. And by Christ I'm in Him, and perfect in the sight of God.

*…I ADD GODLINESS. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? LIKE GOD. THE WEDDING GARMENT'S BEEN PUT ON YOU. WHAT ARE YOU? LIKE JESUS.

BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-21  SUNDAY_  62-1104M

  39-5    Then to my faith, I add virtue, godly virtue. Then to my virtue, I add knowledge of the Word. To my knowledge I add temperance self-control. I like that, "My country 'tis of thee... Crown my soul with self-control... From sea to shining sea." Patience. Oh, my. Tested: don't you worry; Satan will try them for you.

I'm climbing up the ladder now. See? I've added virtue, knowledge, temperance; now I've got to add patience. I still ain't got the Holy Ghost. Then after I add patience, I add godliness. You know what that is? Like God. I add that. Don't misbehave myself; go like a Christian gentleman ought to. Let that not be a put-on. Something in me, the love of God just boiling... See, see? Not say, "I--I--I... Boy, I could do it, but maybe I'd better not." See? Huh uh; huh uh. It's there anyhow. It's a birth. I've been birthed into this, into this, into this, into this, into this, into this, into this, and then the love of God, Christ, comes down and seals all that up in me for service. See?... Add to your faith, virtue, and so forth, all this in I Peter the 1st--or II Peter, I believe, the 1st chapter, where it's all added to your faith, all these things, godliness, and purity, and holiness, and everything, and then you're sealed by the Holy Ghost.

BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-21  SUNDAY_  62-1104M

  39-7    Then what does He do when He gives me the Holy Ghost? He sets you out in a separate place to yourself, marks you. See? You're a different person then. You're not of the world no more (See?); you're clothed different. You're dressed different. Not this outside dress, no, no; you don't have to be odd and peculiar, and collar turned around, and a long ceremony-like. No, no. You don't do that. You dress physically like this. It's just this spiritual dress that counts. The wedding garment's been put on you. What are you? Like Jesus.

*ALL THAT GOD WAS, HE POURED INTO CHRIST; ALL THAT CHRIST WAS, HE POURED INTO THE CHURCH.

THE.WORLD.IS.FALLING.APART_  NY.NY  V-18 N-10  FRIDAY_  63-1115

24      And now that was God above us, could not be touched. Even the mountain that would be touched, where He was on, they must be thrust through with a dart, 'cause sin had not had an offering yet.

25    But then God come and was manifested among us, "We handled Him with our hands," he said, "God!" First Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; for God was manifested in the flesh, seen of Angels, and believed on in the world, received up into Glory." See? See, now, that was God with us.

26    God over us, God with us, now God in us. All that God was, He poured into Christ; all that Christ was, He poured into the Church. "At that day, you'll know that I am in the Father, the Father in Me; I in you, and you in Me." So it's been God all along, you see, His same works. The Church is ordained to carry on His work, with the same Spirit. You couldn't carry on the same work without the same Spirit. That's right. The same Spirit carries on the work.

*AND OUR FAITH MAKES THAT WORD LIVE, BECAUSE CHRIST IS IN US, THE QUICKENER TO THE WORD.

AN.ABSOLUTE_  SHREVEPORT.LA  V-17 N-10  SUNDAY_  63-1201M

  124      "Without controversy," said First Timothy 3:16, "great is the mystery of godliness; for God was manifested in the flesh, seen of angels, received up into glory." He was God, come to take the sinners' place. Yes, sir. And when He, God, raised Him up the--on the third day, was for our justification. Therefore, exalted at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is an Intercessor, to make intercessions upon our... for our weaknesses, as we confess it to Him, and die out to ourself; placing His Word back in us, the promise. And our faith makes that Word live, because Christ is in us, the quickener to the Word.

AN.ABSOLUTE_  SHREVEPORT.LA  V-17 N-10  SUNDAY_  63-1201M

  125      How I wish the church could see that, all arguments and strife would be over! That would be the Supreme Court. That's the North Star. Hallelujah. That's the end of all strife. That's the end of all questions. That's the end of everything. "God said so," that's the Absolute. Tie yourself to It. Paul said, "There is nothing present, nothing future, death, sickness, nakedness, peril, nothing can separate us from That." We've tied to an absolute. Said, "For me to live is--is Christ, and to die is gain." Nothing else holds but That there. That's the absolute.

*GOD IS IN MAN. AND HE'S IDENTIFYING HIMSELF TODAY IN HIS CHURCH.

SHALOM_  SIERRA.VISTA.AZ  V-13 N-5  SUNDAY_  64-0112

8    First Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy, that's argument, great is the mystery of godliness, for God was manifested, or made known, in the flesh." Isn't that wonderful? God! And we could never understand God as He moved through a Pillar of Fire, and so forth, as He did. But we understood Him when He become one of us, see, when He become Man. Then He could talk to us, and we could feel Him, handle Him, touch Him, and everything. And as the Scripture plainly says that "we have handled God," see, with our hands, touched Him with our hands.

SHALOM_  SIERRA.VISTA.AZ  V-13 N-5  SUNDAY_  64-0112

  9      God is in man. And He's identifying Himself today in His church. In the born-again Christian, God identifies. Himself, that He remains God. And the outside world will only know God as they see God in you and I. That's the only way that they'll know God, is when we are written epistles, epistle of the Scripture, we are read of all men. And the life that we live reflects what's on the inside of us. A man is identified by the works that he does. So our works should be good, see, always good, because we are representing our Lord Jesus Christ.

*BUT IF HE SPEAKS GOD'S WORDS, IT CAN'T FAIL, BECAUSE IT'S GOD SPEAKING. THEN, HIS INSPIRATION COMES FROM GOD, AND IT--IT HAS TO BE RIGHT.

THE.THIRD.EXODUS_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-21  SUNDAY_  63-0630M

  94      You must take the whole Thing. Then, if God is in that, then God will manifest that to be the Truth. Like Divine healing, if it isn't Truth, then it isn't Truth; God will have nothing to do with it. But if He manifests It to be the Truth, then It is the Truth. Just as Jesus...

  95      God said, "If there be one among you, is a prophet, or spiritual, I'll speak to him. And what he says comes to pass, then hear it. That's it. But if his prophecy is wrong, then..." God can't be wrong. He's infinite, infallible, omnipotent, and He cannot be wrong. So, if the man is speaking, then it shows the man. If he spoke his own words, it'll fail. But if he speaks God's Words, it can't fail, because it's God speaking. Then, his inspiration comes from God, and it--it has to be right. That's the way God said to tell it. That's the way the Bi-...

*SICKNESS, NOTHING BOTHERS YOU AS LONG AS THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS NEAR AND YOU KNOW IT.

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-18    Elijah, I always thought of him as a great, big man, tall, maybe skinny, and we see that he was a fearless man when the Spirit of God was upon him. He did not worry about what anyone thought about him or what the world had to say as long as the Spirit of God was on him.

And you know, I--I kinda believe that's just about the attitude of the church now, or any time, or anybody. Sickness, nothing bothers you as long as the Spirit of God is near and you know it. Let a person be so, ever so sick and let the Holy Spirit come into the room and anoint that person, you'll see a changed person in a few moments.

*EVERY WORD IS INSPIRED OR NONE OF THEM IS INSPIRED.

PROOF.OF.HIS.RESURRECTION_  JEFF.IN  V-26 N-16  SUNDAY_  55-0410M

 84    Then if Christ was in us today, He'd do the same things He did when he was here on earth. If the Lord Jesus is arisen from the dead today, and lives among us, and said, "The same things that I do, you'll do also, for I'll be with you to the end of the world," then there's only one way to prove whether He's raised from the dead; that is, when the Church that believes that, Christ will make Hisself known to that Church by His same power of His resurrection. It's got to be, friends.

  85    This is either the Word of God or It's a deceiving Book. That's right. It's either right or It's wrong. And It's either all right or all wrong. Every word is inspired or none of them is inspired. I want to believe it.

Paul said, "I never come to you preaching with enticing words and wisdom of men; for if I did, then your faith would be built upon wisdom of men. But I come to you, preaching the Gospel of the power of God, the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: that your faith would be steadfast." Paul never come with some seminary experience to polish around, and take out, and add to. He said, "I come knowing only one thing: Christ crucified. I only come knowing one thing, preaching to you the power of the resurrection, that Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." And in Galatians 1:8, he said, "If an angel preached anything else, let him be accursed unto you." That's right.

*THAT'S THE WAY JESUS WANTS TO FIND YOU WHEN HE COMES: POLISHED UP, NOT WITH A LOT OF WORLDLY STUFF, BUT WITH THE GOSPEL THAT CLEANSES.

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-43    …..That's the way Jesus wants to find you when He comes: polished up, not with a lot of worldly stuff, but with the Gospel that cleanses. Doesn't whitewash but it washes white (Amen.), all cleaned by the purging of the Holy Spirit in your life, separating you from the things of the world. Old things die and pass away, and all things become new. You see it? All right.

  E-44    …..I wonder if Christ would come to our hearts tonight, if He'd find it with everything of the world gone, that He might fulfill where it's "Come unto Me all ye that heavy--heavy laden. And take My yoke upon you; learn of Me; I'm meek and lowly: and you'll find rest," resting with Christ, what a wonderful thing.

*…WHEN YOU ONCE COME TO CHRIST, ONCE BELIEVE HIM, ONCE ACCEPT HIM, ENTER INTO THE REST, ALL THE THINGS OF THE WORLD SEEMS TO DIE AWAY.

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-45    The other night the Lord give me a message on resting. The whole Christian principle is based upon rest. I woke up about ten o'clock in the night. I didn't have no audience to preach to, and so I just, well, I went over and woke up my wife and preached to her till one o'clock in the morning about resting: good audience. But I was burning in my heart, resting. I said, "Why are we troubled? 'Let not your hearts be troubled,' He said. We're just resting. 'Come to Me and ye shall find rest. Take My yoke upon you, learn of Me,' finding rest."

Then, while... I said when you once come to Christ, once believe Him, once accept Him, enter into the rest, all the things of the world seems to die away. You've got rest then, rest to your soul. And you enter into that state, and there you are. You're resting then with Christ.

*NOW, IF YOU WANT TO FIND A FAVOR FROM GOD, BE A FAVOR TO GOD. COME TO HIM.

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-46    …..Now, if you want to find a favor from God, be a favor to God. Come to Him. If you're a sinner and you want to be healed, come first and give your life to Him. Come first if you're just a church member and want to be a Christian, come first to Christ, then you can be a church member after that.

*IF HE'S ALMIGHTY GOD, HE CAN DO ALL THINGS. IF HE CAN'T DO ALL THINGS, HE'S NOT ALMIGHTY GOD. INSPIRATION TELLS YOU THAT.

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-50    Now, when the woman realized that this inspiration was on her, she obeyed exactly, because she knowed it was in harmony with the supernatural.

Say, "What are you talking about, Brother Branham?" I'm trying to base your faith on a level with God being almighty, and supreme, and all powerful, and omnipotent. And He hasn't changed. His nature doesn't change. My nature might change; yours might change; but God's nature will never change. If He's still the great Jehovah God that created the heavens and earth and had all powers in His hand, He's still the same Jehovah tonight. If He's Almighty God, He can do all things. If He can't do all things, He's not Almighty God. Inspiration tells you that. Reasonings will say it's not so, but inspiration says it is so, inspiration from the soul not from the mind.

It's mind reasonings, theology, man-made so called, will make you very religious; it'll make you just as religious and keep the sabbath days and do all these other things, but will deny the existence of the Almighty to perform miracles and do supernatural. Didn't the Spirit say in the last days they'd be that way, "Heady, high minded, having a form of godliness but would deny the power thereof; from such turn away"? Wake up, Church.

*AND GOD, BY THE FOOLISHNESS OF PREACHING, IT PLEASED HIM TO SAVE THE WORLD OR THEM THAT WOULD BELIEVE.

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-51    Today the people in general act like Cain. They said... Cain no doubt said, "If we build a nice altar, we'll make it beautiful, for Jehovah will worship in such a place." He got the lilies of the field; he put them on the altar. He got the fruits of the land; he laid them there. He made them all nice, built him a nice church, a nice altar, and knelt down, and said, "Jehovah, this I offer to You." And God refused it.

And today people are trying to go to the better church where people dress better, where the pastor's a little more formal and not so fanatically, as they call it. Do you know, the mind of the world is an enemy to God. The wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. And God, by the foolishness of preaching, it pleased Him to save the world or them that would believe. How one's contrary to the other. Now, quickly, let's come to this close or this conclusion.

*WHEN ABEL, BY INSPIRATION COME, NO BEAUTY, BUT HE COME IN INSPIRATION...

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-52    Watch just a moment. When Abel, by inspiration come, no beauty, but he come in inspiration... He had no Bible to tell him it was a lamb. But God revealed to him it was a lamb, no inspiration to tell him that it wasn't... Cain said, "Well now (reasoning), it's fruit, we... They must've eat apples, so I'll bring fruits an offering, and Jehovah will receive this because it looks better than what that would be, so Jehovah will receive this."

*NO MATTER WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK, WHAT OTHERS SAY, IT'S THE INSPIRATION LEADING YOU, IF IT'S ACCORDING TO THE WORD.

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-54    That's what the Shunammite woman was going by. It was unreasonable to take a dead baby to that preacher's bed. But inspiration spoke. And if inspiration'd speak to you and say that you've been playing church, if inspiration tells you tonight it's time to get rid of your dirty habits, listen to inspiration. It's the Holy Spirit speaking and making a way. Don't never turn it down, if it's anything... Unless it's contrary to God's Word. And anything that you do clean and righteous is--is in accordance with God's Word. It's in accord. Amen.

No matter what the people think, what others say, it's the inspiration leading you, if it's according to the Word. And if it's according to the Word then the inspiration is a leading you.

*AND IF WE COULD ONLY RECOGNIZE THAT BY INSPIRATION THAT LEADS US TO THE--MAKE THE--IN THE CRUCIAL MOMENT TO MAKE OUR DECISION ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-56    …..And tonight the Holy Ghost is the vindication that He's here, that His power is with the believer. And if we could only recognize that by inspiration that leads us to the--make the--in the crucial moment to make our decision according to the Word of God, not according to what the neighbors is going think or according to what somebody else is going to say, or what my pastor will say, or my members will say, what my neighbors will say, but what God is leading you to.

 

Psa 144:1  A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 

Psa 144:2  My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. 

Psa 144:3  LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 

Psa 144:4  Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 

Psa 144:5  Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 

Psa 144:6  Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. 

Psa 144:7  Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 

Psa 144:8  Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 

Psa 144:9  I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 

Psa 144:10  It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 

Psa 144:11  Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 

Psa 144:12  That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: 

Psa 144:13  That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 

Psa 144:14  That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. 

Psa 144:15  Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

2Pe 1:7  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 

2Pe 1:8  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

2Pe 1:9  But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 

2Pe 1:10  Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 

Mat 5:48  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

1Pe 1:15  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 

1Pe 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

Col 1:9  For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 

Col 1:10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 

Col 1:11  Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 

Col 1:12  Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 

Col 1:13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 

Col 1:14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 

Rev 5:3  And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 

Rev 5:4  And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 

Rev 5:5  And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

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. 

Isa 6:8  Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. 

Isa 6:9  And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 

Isa 6:10  Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. 

Isa 64:6  But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 

Isa 64:7  And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. 

Isa 64:8  But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. 

Isa 64:9  Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 

Rom 11:16  For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 

Rom 11:17  And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 

Rom 11:18  Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 

Rom 11:19  Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 

Rom 11:20  Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 

Rom 11:21  For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 

Rom 11:22  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 

Rom 11:23  And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 

Rom 11:24  For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 

*SHE HAS TO BE MOLDED AND MADE INTO THE IMAGE OF CHRIST, AND CHRIST IS THE WORD. THAT'S THE ONLY THING.

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

204      Wonder, could it be already past? Could the Bride already be called? Is that what we're going through today?

She has to be molded and made into the image of Christ, and Christ is the Word. That's the only thing. See? It's in There, in the Word. It's ju-... See? There cannot be one thing added. It can't be a--a woman with a one hand like a man, and the other hand with a paw like a dog. It's got to be exactly the Word of the Lord, like He is the Word. The Bride is a part of the Bridegroom. The woman is a part of her husband, 'cause she's taken out of the husband. Eve was a part of Adam from his side. And so is the Bride, not taken from a denomination, but taken from the bosom of the Word of God for this day.

*…THROUGH THAT PERFECT MAN, EACH ONE OF US IMPERFECT THAT BELIEVE IN GOD AND HAS ACCEPTED THAT, BECOMES THE PERFECTION OF HIM.

   45      So, therefore, He has partnershipped, you see, and taken this man, earthly, and this Eternal Spirit, and put it together. Because, God reflected Himself back in that, that He become a Man when He become Christ Jesus, and He was God, see. God was in Christ; that, see, lived in Him, reconciling the world to Himself. And, through that perfect Man, each one of us imperfect that believe in God and has accepted That, becomes the perfection of Him.

*BUT GOD IS IN THE PEOPLE WHAT MAKES THEM GOOD, MARKS THE PERFECT MAN. IT'S GOD IN YOU THAT MAKES IT PERFECT.

TESTIMONY_  CLEVELAND.OH  WEDNESDAY_  50-0823

   E-31    …..Not as we are good. But my, there's none good but God. But God is in the people what makes them good, marks the perfect man. It's God in you that makes it perfect. See? "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." See? "Be ye therefore perfect." How can you be perfect? Not in yourself, but in Him. God don't look at you then; He looks at Him. Well, you say, "I'm in Him."

   How do you get in Him? By one Spirit we're all baptized into one Body, and then you're in Him, when you're baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body: I Corinthians 12. Is that true? Then in Him...

*FOR IT'S NOT MY HOLINESS, IT'S HIS HOLINESS. GOD CAN'T ACCEPT MINE; I HAVE NONE.

ISRAEL.AND.THE.CHURCH.2_  JEFF.IN  IC 35-64  THURSDAY_  53-0326

  28    God has already glorified His church. Those who He justified, He also glorified in the church, in Christ. If you're justified in Christ, you're glorified in Christ already, as far as God is concerned.

Jesus said, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." How could you ever be perfect? But in the sight of Christ tonight, every born-again Christian is perfect. I'm just as perfect in God as Christ was. You are too--every other believer. For it's not my holiness, it's His holiness. God can't accept mine; I have none. But I come in Christ, by faith. And by Christ I'm in Him, and perfect in the sight of God.

Col 1:10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Col 1:14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 

2Th 1:10  When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 

2Th 1:11  Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

* AND WHEN THE INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE TO INSPIRE YOU, REMEMBER, GOD WILL MAKE YOUR BODY COME INTO YOUR CONFESSION.

WHO.IS.GOD_  CLEVELAND.OH  TUESDAY_  50-0815

  E-35    And when the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is here to inspire you, remember, God will make your body come into your confession. If you say you're a drunkard, and want a drink. Don't worry, you'll soon be one. If you say you're a sinner, and want to sin, you'll be right into it.

If you say you're a Christian and believe it all along, God will bring... Your testimony will bring you right into it. If you believe in healing, and believe that God has healed you, confess it, and God will make your body obey your confession, for He's the High Priest of your confession; setting at the right-hand of the Father now with His own Blood to make intercessions for any confession upon anything that He died for.

*…WHEN MOSES WENT OUT THERE UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF GOD…THE POWER OF REVELATION BRINGS STIMULATION TO THE BELIEVER…

THE.FOURTH.SEAL_  JEFF.IN  THURSDAY_  63-0321

  287-4  {59}    Remember, if the Truth is revealed, the Truth is also vindicated. God constantly... No matter how smart the person might be, how brilliant he might be in his mind, if God don't back up what he's saying, there's something wrong. That's right, 'cause it's the Word.

Now, when Moses went out there under the inspiration of God and said, "Let flies come," flies come. He said, "Let frogs come"; frogs come. See, what if he said, "Let flies come," they didn't come? See? Then he--he didn't speak the Word of the Lord (See?); he only spoke--he spoke his own word.

He might've thought there ought to be flies, but there--there didn't any flies come because God hadn't told him so. And when God tells you anything and says, "You go do this, and I'll be right with it for this is My Word," and He shows it in the Bible, then God stands right behind that. And if it's not written in the Bible, God stands behind it anyhow, if it's God's Word. See? And then if it's outside of that, it's revealed to prophets. We realize that all the mysteries of God is made known to prophets and them alone (See?), Amos 3:7.

  288-1  {64}    Now, now, the power of revelation brings stimulation to the believer, for the power of wine, natural wine is to stimulate. See? It's to--to bring a person that's all slumped down to a stimulation. See, see?

Well then, now there's a power of the revelation of the Word gives stimulation of joy to the believer, stimulation of satisfaction, the stimulation that it's vindicated, it's proved. It's called in the Scripture, as we want to refer to it, as new wine. We always refer to it like that as "These are drunk on new wine," (See?), all right, or spiritual wine. I think the best interpretation would be--would be on spiritual wine.

  288-3  {65}    As the natural wine reveals itself in stimulated power, so does the new wine as it reveals the Word of God which is Spirit. Now, that's the--that's the... See? The Word Itself is Spirit. You believe that? Let's read it. Let's read it. Saint John 6, let's just do... You... Then you--then you don't say, "Well, I... Somebody said that." Let's--let's see Who said it, and then we'll know whether it's Truth or not. Saint John the 6th chapter, and--the 6th chapter and I believe it's the 60--63rd verse. All right. (I think it's it.) Yes.

*THE MARTYRS DOWN THROUGH THE AGES THERE SUFFERED TERRIBLY. BUT WHAT WAS THEY? THEY WERE UNDER THE INSPIRATION, THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THE POWER.

THE.FIFTH.SEAL_  JEFF.IN  FRIDAY_  63-0322

  351-4  {132}    Now, notice, there he was. Along after him... Saint John lived the longest. And when Saint John was trying to take all the sacred epistles anointed with the Holy Ghost and put them together and make the Bible, the Roman empire caught him and put him on the Isle of Patmos. He was out there on the Isle of Patmos for the Word of God's sake. Polycarp was helping him translate it.

I read the other day the letter that Mary, herself, wrote to Polycarp and upbraiding--not upbraiding him, but commending him for being a gallant man that who could teach and accept the teaching of Jesus Christ of Who was born of her from God. Mary's own note that she had wrote to Polycarp...

Polycarp was fed to the lions, you know. No, he was burned. It was too late for them to turn a lion loose in the arena, and so they tore down a bathroom (an old bathhouse there) and put him in the--in the--in the arena and--and burned him.

THE.FIFTH.SEAL_  JEFF.IN  FRIDAY_  63-0322

  351-7  {136}    And on his road coming down, he was walking with his head down, and the Roman centurion said, "You are an old man and well respected. Why don't you denounce that thing?"

He just kept looking towards heaven, and a voice spoke from somewhere. They couldn't understand where. And said, "Polycarp, don't fear; I'm with you."

Why? He was standing by that Word. And when they begin to pile the boards on him to burn him, there was a heavenly music come down, and a--and the anthems from some angelic somewhere singing songs. He never even one time batted an eye to them. That's gallant men; that's men who can stand.

The martyrs down through the ages there suffered terribly. But what was they? They were under the inspiration, the Spirit of God, the power. And don't forget this, church, and you brethren on tape, I want you to examine this: How could man do anything else besides the power of God that had been released to them?

*BUT IF HE SPEAKS GOD'S WORDS, IT CAN'T FAIL, BECAUSE IT'S GOD SPEAKING. THEN, HIS INSPIRATION COMES FROM GOD, AND IT--IT HAS TO BE RIGHT.

THE.THIRD.EXODUS_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-21  SUNDAY_  63-0630M

  94      You must take the whole Thing. Then, if God is in that, then God will manifest that to be the Truth. Like Divine healing, if it isn't Truth, then it isn't Truth; God will have nothing to do with it. But if He manifests It to be the Truth, then It is the Truth. Just as Jesus...

  95      God said, "If there be one among you, is a prophet, or spiritual, I'll speak to him. And what he says comes to pass, then hear it. That's it. But if his prophecy is wrong, then..." God can't be wrong. He's infinite, infallible, omnipotent, and He cannot be wrong. So, if the man is speaking, then it shows the man. If he spoke his own words, it'll fail. But if he speaks God's Words, it can't fail, because it's God speaking. Then, his inspiration comes from God, and it--it has to be right. That's the way God said to tell it. That's the way the Bi-...

*THAT'S THE WAY JESUS WANTS TO FIND YOU WHEN HE COMES: POLISHED UP, NOT WITH A LOT OF WORLDLY STUFF, BUT WITH THE GOSPEL THAT CLEANSES.

INSPIRATION_  OWENSBORO.KY  SATURDAY_  56-0128

  E-43    …..That's the way Jesus wants to find you when He comes: polished up, not with a lot of worldly stuff, but with the Gospel that cleanses. Doesn't whitewash but it washes white (Amen.), all cleaned by the purging of the Holy Spirit in your life, separating you from the things of the world. Old things die and pass away, and all things become new. You see it? All right.
