New Blood

I want to say again tonight that we are certainly glad to have you here with us. Appreciate having you so very much and especially our visitors from California coming so far to visit with here son and to be here with us tonight. We've had quite a number of families to come in from California. We always look forward to them coming. Betty and I, my wife, we've spent quite a bit of time in California preaching up and down the coast of California and Los Angeles, we preached in that area. West Hollywood. Quite a number of places there and we've got lots of friends there. I'd like for you to turn with me to the second chapter of the Book of Hebrews and I'd like to read just a little bit from the second chapter of the Book of Hebrews. The other night I read from over in the Book of Revelation and I was reading about the red dragon being cast out, the man child being caught up and what it had to do with and really it is nothing less than fantastic. We are glad to have our brother here with us. Near Brother Arthur here. Seems like I have seen him before. Can't place him tonight. In the red shirt. Could you tell us your name, please? I thought you was. I thought I recognized you. Certainly glad to have him here. You know, I love people. I always have ever since I've really understood people. You have to look at people like God looks at people. If you try to love people in the condition that people are as individuals, you'll never love them, because people are some of the most contrary aggravating things that God ever made and put on earth. There is nothing to be compared with them. The only thing they believe in is what they want to believe in and the only thing they'll do is what they desire to do and the only plans they'll make for the future is that which will benefit them and they are selfish. There's nothing like them, animals or nothing. There's nothing to be compared with people. But of course, that is people in their degenerate state or in their fallen condition. When God made man He didn't make man like that, but when Satan got into man's heart in the garden, as I expressed the other night, every man since that time that is born into this world has been born of the same blood stream of Adam and he is in that kind of condition. Self-willed. Over confident. Haughty. High-minded. Selfish. Won't listen. Feels like he has got the answers. Never listening until it's too late and then wishing he had listened. But man, the way that God created him, was lovable. One of the sweetest creations that God ever made. One of the finest things. that's why God was willing to personify Himself in a human body called Jesus and come down from the portals of glory, walk this earth and tabernacle in a human body and go to Calvary and suffer the way he did for humanity. It was simply because it was to redeem such a great creation in that He had known this great creation as it was in the beginning, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Brother Oscar Pleas' son-in- law. I didn't get to meet you the last time you were here. I saw you maybe setting along here somewhere and I believe your wife was with you. Certainly glad to have this brother with us. I have known Brother Oscar Pleas for quite a long while. He's a very fine person. As a matter of fact, I believe he's on overseer in the Emmanuel Holiness Church. we are certainly glad to have the brother come and be with us. I want you to really think on what we are saying tonight. You read in the Book of Hebrews. Let's just read a little bit here and see if this will help us. In the second chapter beginning at the first verse, and I think I'll read Quite a bit of scripture here. (Brother Pike reads chapters two, three and four through the thirteenth verse. That's reading quite a bit of scripture. Notice in the fourteenth verse. It say's here, For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same. The word here, forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same. The word, took part, here has great significance. It speaks here of the children. For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh. The partaking that is pointed out where it speaks of the children, the original word, meteohen, which means partaking, fully partaking or partaking of all. The word, took part, kekoihohiken, the original word, means to take part of that which is another. Taking part of, but not all, which indicates here that they that are born of Adam actually took part of the blood stream. They took part of the blood stream. They took part of the flesh. They took part of all that Adam was but the other indicates that Jesus who took part of the same but not the blood. He took part, that is to say, he made in the likeness of sinful flesh in the image of mankind. He was made in that image. He took part of what the children where, that is flesh. He took part as bone, but he did not take part as blood, because it is in the blood stream where sin is and Jesus had to have a new blood stream if he was to atone for the sins of mankind. In Leviticus we are told that God has given the blood for the atonement of the soul. And the Bible said, without the shedding of blood there is no remission for sin. so then, we see that the sin that Adam had was within the blood. The reason for that is because sin is in the heart and the blood flows through the heart. the heart is a little muscle that is a pump. It pumps the blood through the body. That sin that we spoke of the other night, we might have to retrace our footsteps just a little here to be able to bring out our thoughts, and tie them together with our previous message, but that sin that we spoke of the other night that got into the heart of Adam, got into the heart of Adam, through the weakness of the woman, which was his wife, Eve. Though Eve was taken out of Adam; yet being taken out of the body of Adam, being flesh of his flesh, bone of his bone; yet it still is a fact that she was the weaker part of man and therefore Satan pressured her through the beast, he pressured her into partaking of the forbidden fruit that caused sin to enter into the world and death to come upon mankind because of the curse. We are later told in the scriptures that death and sin is in the world today because of lust. Because of lust. The original rendering of the word lust, desire. Because of Eve's desire, because of the lust, the passions of the flesh, the human sensation of mankind, the human passions being aroused, her human instincts, because she didn't have control over them today man suffers death. It remains the same with mankind today. Every person that looses control over their human faculties, over their human senses, over their human abilities, that is to the extent that Satan can take control, that person will die. The Bible teaches that we must mortify the deeds of the body. We must cone into a place to where we receive a knowledge form God, that is superior to the knowledge that we are born with. That is the knowledge of mankind with which Satan has interwoven his understanding. We must elevate our understanding above human understanding. It doesn't matter if you are a college scholar. It doesn't matter if you are a great man of education, or a woman of education. That has nothing to do with it. The Bible teaches that this is abundantly above all that you are able to ask or even think. There is no way that you can learn it. Scientist in the sight of the Word of god is but a bunch of children. Scientist with all of their great discoveries, I've considered the things that they have said, and then went into the mind of God and went into the spirit of revelation and scientist is like a bunch of children. They've never gotten anywhere when it comes to reaching out in the great understanding that there is for man to know. So then, there is something great and something mighty for the people of God. For the people of God are preordained to be the greatest of scholars in the world, as far as mankind, cannot even converse with them. They are the people that are the super race of God. You know, Hitler one time tried to make a super race. He got a little inclination of what God was doing and on a natural plane of life he tried to bring about a super race which was a very foolish thing. But God has a super race that the world cannot compare to and the Lord has been processing these people and developing these people for many long years. And they have been pushed aside, neglected, folks have acted as though they were nothing, but all of a sudden they are coming to the forefront. All of a sudden they are beginning to be the leaders of the world and all of a sudden the world is finding out that the world and the people of the world are going to have to take a back seat while the children of God rule and reign forever. Like a little article that Readers Digest published a number of years ago. Said, you can call it coincidental or whatever you want to but said, it is a known fact that ministers children are becoming the leaders of the world. Getting into politics and where ever. Now, there is one thing that I understand and that is there is a spiritual dimension that scientist can not enter into. Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of mankind at anytime, in college, in study, in any means of skill or activity, never has it entered into mankind's heart at anytime, the things that God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath made it a revelation, or revealed it unto us by His spirit. So then, tonight we see the necessity of having what we refer to as the revelation of Jesus Christ. there is a spiritual awakening. there is a spiritual awakening that is coming to the world. the world has run it's course, as far as intellectual definement. Scientist can define things and they can break down the blood genetics and get down to the enzymes and we have gone right on down to break it right on down to the very intricate matter, the very most intricate, minute matter that's in the blood or has to do with the blood, but when they get down there their microscopic views fade away into nothing and they can't do anything. But, Brothers and Sisters, when you are in the mind of god you don't need a microscope, you don't need any kind of worldly invention. There is something that happens to your spirit and to your mind and to your life and you find yourself transformating into dimensions that are unheard of, that nobody has ever been into and those things are so wonderful and so glorious that they are literally breathtaking. And then, when you bring them back as the spies did, having gone over into Canaan, got the grapes of Eschol come back across the Jordan and brought them to the people. When you bring these things back and you put them together they so beautifully found themselves upon the word of God in such a perfect manner. So then, we see what kind of a calling that we have. We see to what God has called us to. And the Bible said, Not many mighty are called. It doesn't tell us that not any mighty are called. Some mighty are called. Paul was a mighty man, educated at the feet of Gamaliel. But not many mighty are called. The Bible speaks of men in this world that are great, powerful men of money and education and ability. It says not very many of them does God call, because God has chosen the foolish and abase things of the world to confound the wise, those things that are not, to bring to naught those things that are of those that we see around us. God has chosen the invisible, unseen things to bring those things that are around us that we see in the natural and subject those to the invisible powers. So then, the Bible speaks of God as being the invisible powers. So then, the Bible speaks of God as being the invisible God. When the Bible speaks of Him it speaks of Him like this, saying that they endured as seeing Him who is invisible. They endured as seeing Him who is invisible. The great invisible God. the prophets of old endured as seeing Him who is invisible. Not living by sight for the Bible said, the just shall not live by sight, but by faith. And so then, as they journeyed by faith, God took hold of their hands, and they endured as seeing Him who is the great and the mighty, invisible God. Well, we see here a great thing. Jesus was partakers. Inasmuch as Brother Pike, Brother Taylor, you, others, the children of God have been partakers of the image, so then, Jesus came down. God, Himself, personified Himself in a human body, tabernacled in it, walked in it, called it the Son of God. Came down in to this world in His fullness and tabernacled and walked in that body, partook of the same image as you and I have partaken of, but He would not partake of the blood of Adam. The reason is, as I said before, the Bible tells us that God hath made all nations of one blood. No man from the beginning of time until the days of Jesus and since the days of Jesus, no man except Jesus has ever had blood that could atone for sin, that has ever had blood that was free from sin. No man has ever had blood that was free from sin, but the Lord Jesus Christ. And the reason for that is he's called the second man Adam. He started a new generation of what we refer to as the regeneration, that is by the washing or the changing of generations ar starting a new generation, doing away with the old generation, God started a new life. The only way that God could start a new life was to have a new blood stream. You cannot start a new life without a new blood stream because the Bible said that I have given you the blood for the life of all flesh, and the life is within the blood. So then, there was no way to start a new generation without new blood. the conception of Mary, the divine conception, whereas the Bible said Mary had never known a man, the Holy Ghost over shadowed her. And then when the Holy Ghost over shadowed her, the Bible says she conceived of the Holy Ghost, and when she conceived of the Holy Ghost, and when she conceived of the Holy Ghost a blood seed, blood tissues from God, formed in the womb of Mary and from that little blood tissue there came forth the son of God. You know, scientist say that there is not one drop of a mother's blood within the baby. We brought that out here not too long ago and I'd like to drop a thought or two in here if we can. There is not one drop of the mother's blood within the baby. Scientist say that the little fetus on the inside, all of the blood that's in it, comes form the blood seed that the father has planted in the field. From that blood seed it grows. The embryo comes, the little fetus, it works and the fetus grows and the blood expands. All of the blood comes from that one tiny blood cell. The life then, is not of the mother. The life has nothing to do with the mother. the life is in that tiny blood seed that comes from the father. Now, this is a beautiful thing in the way that God has done so as to be able to bring blood for the atonement of mankind. With this little blood seed in the womb scientist tells us that not one blood drop of the maternal blood that is in what is called the choronic villae can get in through the walls of the fetal blood veins. It can't pass through there. There's no way. Though the placenta is there and though the little fetus is in a bath of blood yet there is no blood that can pass through there. there's no way. Though the placenta is there and though the little fetus is in a bath of blood yet there is no blood that can pass through those walls and those little blood vessels coming from the fetus, running all out into the placenta, all through that great mass that, you know the name that it's referred to as the after-birth, that great mass that is in there to protect the child. through this the mother feeds that little child. It is amazing, in that David said, I am wonderfully made. I am wonderfully made. And here that life is in there protected from that life of the mother so as to produce the image of the father. Though the mother nourishes the little child. The mother, she's the one that sends down the oxygen. Through her blood, you know, the little blood cells, having the compound of hemoglobin in there, the iron compound that has an affinity for oxygen, picks it up, brings it right on down from the mother and through the uterine comes right on down and as the blood vessels come through that mass of placenta, coming looping in and out, running near these veins, they have what they call a diffusion, or osmosis, which is an interchange. And the mother, through that process, gives off the oxygen and the needed nourishment over to these little veins. They pick it up and the blood that comes from the fetus does away with the carbon dioxide and all of that which the cell activity has given off as being the waste of cell activity ( Tape 1 side 2 begins ) takes it back out and the blood from the fetus picks it up, goes right back down to the little fetus from those blood veins that runs through the placenta or through that vascular choronic part that the little loops go in and out, the little blood veins go in and out. It passed through there that no blood might interchange at any time. It is utterly astounding and amazing as the little fetus does all the work, all the pumping, all the sending forth of the blood. It is amazing how that it doesn't need any help at all, even in it's tiny state, or would be tiny, very minute state of weakness but it has the ability to do all of that of sending forth that blood. God did that for one purpose one purpose and that is to protect the Son of God when he was to be born into this world. This is why that I do not agree with the theory that some of them have concerning the beast in the garden. There is something that they've got that isn't right. Because if there is no blood from a mother that can get into that little child, they are mixed up somewhere on their teachings. I don't know whether you understand what i'm saying or not, but those that have the teachings concerning Eve's fall in the garden that relates back to the beast, they've got something out of order. Because there is no blood that can get through there. There is something that God has done. The vascular choronic parts, or what they refer to as the papilla. In the double layers, the epithelial layers, through that, those little ole veins looping in and out goes through the osmosis or process of interchange which is a diffusing from one to another and the maternal blood from the choronic villae which is all around, never gets in there. So, it is obvious that God has protected Jesus in the virgin birth. He is not partakers of man's blood. All of the blood comes from Adam. All of it. Every since Satan got into the heart of Adam. From Adam all the way down to the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ every man was partakers of that blood and Satan got into that blood stream which was death and gendered unbelief and a man is born into sin when he comes into this world because death is already in his blood streams even down to Calvary. And the purpose of Calvary was for one thing and that was to end blood life, to do away with it. Mary didn't conceive of a man but of the Holy Ghost, therefore she was not partakers of the blood of the death that Adam had in his blood veins back there, but the Holy Ghost that created that first blood cell in Adam created the second blood cell in the second man Adam, and life was in there. The new generation, that generation that I belong to and every born again child of God belongs too. By the same process of diffusion here we see the same thing happening to you and I through Christ Jesus and this great plan of redemption that God has got. There is an interchange and we are able to change over into that great thing of God and have royal blood flowing through our blood veins tonight. Being therefore partakers of the divine nature of God, we have faith. Look at this for just a moment, now. We say that Eve, that that's where the problem was, the man being not in the transgression. So then, we say, you see all is to be blamed on Eve because Eve was the one that brought forth Cain. And that's where the problem came from. But tell me why is it then, if that is the way it is, why is it that the trouble is in the blood stream? Eve never gave blood to anybody. If Adam isn't the guilty party then why is the trouble in the blood? Because the blood came from Adam. that means it had to be a spiritual thing. That Satan got into that blood stream and that Adam become the head of that serpent that God spoke of. That's where the problem was. When he fell from sonship it become the beast and that beastly part was where the weakness was and today man in the sight of God is like a woman. Just as a woman is the weak part of man, m,an is the weak part of God. And that's where the devil gets at God just like Satan got at man through the weak part, which was the woman. You say, But you can't make that comparison, Brother Pike. Why can't I make it? The Bible said, Paul, when he got the revelation, he said, I speak a mystery concerning the church. And he spoke of a man and his wife being one. We say, one head, many members. That man being the head, the woman being the members of the body. Isn't that right? Al-right, let's just look at it for a minute or two. The Bible says they are no longer twain, but that woman is bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. When God speaks of us He said, You are now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh, my bride, Jesus said. Hallelujah. You are taken from my side at Calvary, just as Eve was taken from his side. Then I go back to what I said the other night. The covering. Why is it that a woman should let her hair grow out upon her shoulders? Because the Bible said the government shall be upon the shoulders and that hair represents the glory, not of the woman, but of the man, for woman is man's glory. Man is god's glory. So then, the man was made for the glory of God, the Bible said. The woman was made for the glory of man. So then, her hair being her glory her hair represents the covering. Whereas the covering is that great veil that's put over them. Not as they do in the Catholic Church somewhere, covering their heads up with something, but her hair, Paul said, is given her for her covering. And if she prophesy with her hair cut off it is all as if she was shaven, as if she was naked. For the Bible said she dishonoreth her head. Who is her head? Her husband. So then, when we speak spiritually we are saying that the glory of the hair, which was Samson's strength in his day that represented the spirit of God, the seven locks, the spirit of the church ages, the seven spirits that stood before God, the seven candlesticks, those things those locks, or those spiritual things that God spoke of concerning the hair shows us the covering of God. That's why according to the Bible, Adam and Eve did not have eternal life. They did not have eternal life. Somebody would say, well, Brother Pike, that's absurd. You know they had eternal life. Brothers and Sisters, it's more absurd to say that they had eternal life. If they'd had eternal life, how could they then die. A person with eternal life can't die. The fact that you died, proves that it's not eternal. they were in the presence of the Shechinah glory of God. They were in the presence of eternal life. As long as that great sun light of God's presence was there and over shadowed them, it was a covering. that covering was eternal life. As long as they abide under that covering they couldn't die. But see, there was a difference between the Christian and Eve and Adam. There was a difference between the second man Adam and the first man Adam. You say, what difference was it? Adam was covered by the Shechinah glory of God. He wasn't in the presence of it. People today are not in the presence of the grace of God, but born of the grace. The grace of God is within them. In that day I'll take out the heart of stone, place within them a heart of flesh, write my laws upon the table of their heart, cause them to walk in my laws and place my laws within their minds, the Bible said. So then, when that spirit lifted, what lifted? One thing. Jesus said, Thou shalt not eat. Now listen. Thou shalt eat of all the trees of the garden, but of this one tree thou shalt not eat. The day that thou eatest thou shalt surely die. What tree is it? The tree of knowledge of good and evil. I said the other night, when you say knowledge, a tree of knowledge, you are not talking about an apple tree. Natural people that don't understand spiritual things and understand that God is a spirit-- Paul said, I'd like to speak unto you as spirituals. You know that couldn't be no natural tree that produced natural fruit. What tree has ever at any time ever grew a hunk of knowledge on it? Knowledge of good and evil. A tree growing knowledge of good and evil. Thou shalt not eat of that tree for the day that thou eatest thou shalt surely die. And then it's obvious that He was speaking of Satan because over in another place the prophet looks back and the prophets says, Thou was the most beautiful tree in the garden but you lifted yourself up, up above them all and God cursed him. And the tree withered up from the roots. So then, it is obvious that the thing that lifted, what was it? It was the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ that said, Thou shalt not eat. The mind of Christ was the Word. The Word was spirit. The spirit is God, the Word of life. That light, Shechinah light, they were in the presence of that mind. It was their shield. He told them when they went into Canaan, said, this will be your, this will be your greatness and your guard and your protection, that they will be afraid of you because of your understanding and the great knowledge that you have. All the world will be afraid of you. The Bible said in this day it's the same thing. I will put the fear of you upon all mankind, all the world will be afraid of you because you are called by my name. Now, when the Shechinah glory lifted, what took place? The Shechinah glory lifted, it meant the mind of Christ lifted. Why did the mind of Christ lift? For the same reason it lifted from Saul. Why did it lift from Saul? There was a reason it lifted from Saul. What was the reason? Because Saul went out on his own. The Bible said, Because thou hath rejected my Word, Saul. I have rejected thee. The mind of God, the spirit of God, the mind of Christ. Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. See, this mind was their protection. That mind said, Don't you eat thereof, but they violated that mind. When they violated that mind, then up went the mind, the Shechinah and they were left there in the garden. God said as He walked there and He came to them and He said, What have you done? They said, We were naked and we hid ourselves. He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked. I say this again. The Bible said in the beginning the man and woman was naked and was not ashamed. So it wasn't the nakedness that caused the problem. It was that condemnation in their heart. When God made them naked to start with they had no condemnation. They had no conscience of sin and that's where the problem was. When they eat of that tree they violated faith in God's Word and their conscience was seared. When they hurt their conscience and condemnation struck them and the covering that they needed wasn't bodily covering but they'd lost their spiritual covering. That's why the Bible said, They cover with a covering but not of me, Jesus said. Ever since that time you see the Catholics shaving their heads, putting that dark veil on as I said the other night, as a covering, representing the dark age where the church fell into the dark ages because they rejected the covering of God when they killed Christ Jesus. You don't find it coming back up until the new world. They call this United States the new world. When it come up over here and everything got going in the world, over here in the new World, when they landed over there at Plymouth Rock, over there at Massachusetts when they came in, that new world came in. Something began to take place. What was it? It was God bringing in, not the dark world, but the world of light. You saw the Catholics soon after that began to dress in white to represent the light had come. In the end-time gross darkness shall cover the people but light--there shall be light in the evening time. Understanding, Paul said to them that set in the regions of the shadow of death, great light has sprang up. And the Bible said that they that were in these regions that though the darkness had covered them; yet God would send a light in the end-time. The eyes of their understanding being enlightened, their mind being enlightened, whereas, he said those that rejected God, the God of this world, Satan, the prince of this world has blinded their minds that they can't see with their eyes of understanding. They can't see. They can't understand. All they can do is lean to their own understanding and the Bible said, Lean not to thine own understanding, but trust in God with all your heart. See, when you lean to your own understanding you are leaning to Adams understanding. When You're leaning to Adam's understanding you are leaning to Satan's understanding because that's where it comes from. But Brothers and Sisters, when you get the mind of Christ and you lean to the Word of God, which is the mind of Christ, then you have got that superior understanding that causes you to be elevated above this world into the great heavenlies of God. Whereas, the Bible said you are not of this world for God, dimensionally speaking, translating you, hath chosen you out of this world into that world up there. Translated by faith, Paul tells us. We also, the law and the prophets till John, since that time the kingdom has been preached, men press their way into the kingdom of God. Whereas the Bible tells us, when the kingdom of God has been preached in all the world for a witness then shall the end come. When the message of the kingdom, the law and the prophets until John, since that time the message of the kingdom. Some preach it for contention. Some preach it otherwise. But by television by the printed page, by radio, by everything, it's going into all the world. All the world. The end of the world is getting near. The end of the world is getting near. I hope on the last part of the series of the two or three messages that I can explain what I understand is going to happen in the wind up, because I see it. I see exactly what's going to take place. Last night I spoke of something. I know this will be a little foolish thing to you. You that are not spiritual will not understand. You that have been indoctrinated from the start, you may be able to put it together. But I talked to Brother Tommy Carnes over in the late evening. I talked to him several hours over in the early evening, it was. I talked to him several hours and he was going somewhere, over to Olive Branch, you know. Some of you that are spiritual you understand what I'm saying. They are wanting us to come over there now, under the tent to have a revival. You know the connection between this and that over there concerning spiritual things. And I'll have to just lay that aside so we can go on with our subject so we don't get you off on the wrong thing here. But how many of you understand what I'm saying? Tommy told me he had to go to a funeral. I'll just leave this to your discretion and let you think it over because we can't elaborate on it tonight. But he had to go to a funeral and the man that died, his name is Billy Graham. I know you don't understand it, you that are not spiritual. Betty understands it cause I talked to her about some spiritual things last night, my wife. But that is a relative in their family. Just so happens that's his name. whereas I told my wife, I said, Betty, the night before, I said, Betty I know how it's going to end and I said, Billy Graham will have to do with the ending of the Gentile age. And because of Olive Branch and what it has to do with, that's what that had to do with in the visitation today. I told her last night. I spoke of it last night. But getting back to our subject, something you can understand. Following line upon line. Precept upon precept. There is something that took place in that garden and that is, Eve rejected the mind of her husband, which mind was the mind of God, Because God had told Adam what to do, telling Eve what to do through Adam. When she rejected Adam's mind she rejected God's mind, because they were one and the same for Adam was called the Son of God. Isn't that right? The Bible said, Casting down imagination, every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Jesus Christ, not leaning to your own understanding. David said, Even to the intent of my heart, Father, forgive me for the intents of my heart. So then, when she rejected it, what did she do? She took on the mind of Satan through the beast. She took on, not a Shechinah light of covering of the mind of God, a freedom and greatness form eternity to eternity. You know, a man can see a long way in a light. Isn't that right? See all the way to the sun. Millions of miles. Isn't that right? You understand what I'm saying? But in the darkness, when the darkness comes around you are closed in. You are in a prison. See, she took on the mind of darkness. The mind of Satan through the beast. Is that right? Rejecting the mind of light through her husband, through which it came. This one that she played the harlot with over here, she took on the mind of Satan, which worked through the beast. Then what happened? When Adam, himself, accepted what Eve had done that made it official. That made it official. In the Old Testament if a man accepted it, then that made the woman be punished for it. They were then guilty. If the man didn't accept it then the woman wasn't guilty. that's how that the church gets out of it. The church is not guilty today because Christ didn't accept the sin. He isn't born of the blood of Adam. And today we are free from it according to the laws of God. But if the man don't say, Let it be. then we are free of it. Adam took part of it, therefore his bride was guilty and what happened to Adam, he fell down to that beast dimension. He came down from that third dimension of light, fell down, that was Christ coming down from His glory. Down from His glory. The Word was made flesh. When was it made flesh? When God created man out of the dust, his breath, his life, his spirit, was made a human being. It never had been done before and it was called the Son of God. Down from His Glory. And when Jesus come it was called Adam, the second. Coming down form his Glory. When the Shechinah lifted, the man being not in the transgression to show Jesus, the woman being guilty to show the weakness of the flesh, cause the woman is the flesh. God making a man and a woman to show what happened to Creation and God. So then, it's obvious that the human being is the guilty one. Now, the darkness which is a covering, not the covering of His Glory, but the darkness. Remember in heaven, Satan, Lucifer, the son of the morning, the covering cherubs. Are you listening? But when he fell from his lofty state, he became the ruler of darkness. He was still a power of covering, but not a covering cherub from God. He came down, and when he covered man it was his mind. It was that veil of darkness. Like they used to have an old saying, if a child is born with a veil over it it means death. That veil coming over it like that. See, showing that dark veil, that mind. Brethern, the Bible speaks of this. Paul seeing the revelation said, and there remaineth a veil over the minds of the people even until this day. The same veil that was over Moses' face representing the law being veiled, because God in Moses so bright the people couldn't look to the end of the law. It would have killed them to have looked upon it. No man can see God and live. So then, it was veiled to the people. Said, You speak to God and let God speak through you to us for we can't stand to speak to God. God veiled Himself with that veil called Jesus Christ, that dark veil over Moses' face which was the body of Jesus made sin. He veiled the shechinah, come down and walked with us and stayed with us. Was called the Son of God. That lovely thing was called the Son of God. But at the time convenient the Bible said, God looked down from heaven. Heard the groaning of the prisoners, loosed them that was appointed unto death, hung that veil up there at Calvary. And the Bible said, Hi made in Himself twain, that is two, Lord and Christ. And when He hung that body up there the Bible said, And the veil was rent in twain, separating the Lord and the Christ. Taking away the Lord, which was the veil part that had been made sin, letting the Christ go which was the bright shechinah Glory of the living God. And there it was being unveiled and John saw the revelation of it and said, I saw the heavens roll back and I heard the thundering and the lightning and there was an earthquake, John said, And the rocks were rent in twain. And the Bible said at the crucifixion everything became dark. Why where the rocks rent? To show that atomic power. Down to that inside, that great masterful touch that only God can give that He concealed and give in a type through humanity to show us what was going on. Step by step, parallelling the natural with the spiritual all the time. That's why Paul called it types, shadows, allegories. We could say a lot concerning that tonight, but that veil that's over the minds of the people, Paul said, the veil is untaken away. Even until today. But that veil is done away with in Christ. Said, When they read the Old Testament it's still in the veil. It's untaken away, except in Christ. The revelation comes in Christ. The carnal mind of the Satanic darkness, the veil of that Satanic spirit, that angelic force that fell from heaven, that spirit is expelled with the brightness of His coming. When the spiritual Christ, the revelation of God, the unveiled one that came forth from the temple, when He comes forth that angel of darkness that He destroyed, He said, I have destroyed him that hath power over death. When that revelation starts coming, that angel of revelation, which is Christ Himself, when He starts coming out like that and then He starts stepping out, that angel of darkness, which is death starts disintegrating into darkness, for darkness and light hath no fellowship, neither can the unfruitful works of darkness have any fellowship with the fruitful works of righteousness. Glory to God! What a wonderful thing God is doing! Expelling death and doing away with it! And so then tonight, when we see this, she lost her covering and she took on that veil of death and man has been veiled in death ever since, Children. But there is one thing about it. Since Calvary the veil has been rent in twain. Glory to God! I wish we had time to preach tonight. The veil has been rent in twain and something has taken place and you and I are right at the very core of the greatest thing that ever happened. Now, you say, but Brother Pike, it's appointed unto man once to die, and I know that it is appointed unto man once to die, but I say that it's wonderful for me to know that I'm not a man! I'm a Son of God! I've passed from death unto life, because the Bible said, Jesus looked down form heaven, heard the groaning of the prisoners and loosed them that was appointed unto death. there is no appointment unto death for the Sons of God. But man, man is appointed to death. But Christ Jesus tasted death for every man, if you can believe on it, become a Son of God, you by-pass that death, Beloved. You by-pass that hell for the Bible said, He went down into the chambers of hell and God suffered not His Holy one to remain in hell. He paid the price. He paid the price of death. He paid the price and the penalty of hell. Jesus paid the penalty. Jesus suffered the consequences. He was subject to the penalty of death. He partook of the body. He was subject to the consequences of death but He was not subject to the powers of death, for the Bible said, They could not hold Him. This commandment I have of my Father, I can lay my life down. He did it when He spilt the blood, in that the life is in the blood. He said but, I can pick it back up. the first man a living soul with the blood. He ended the blood life and then come up and the Bible said, the second man, a quickening spirit. I wish we had time to preach tonight but I thank God for being able to say a few things tonight in connection with what we said the other night. And I hope we can pick up a night or two from here and go on and say a few more things concerning this, because there's a few more things. Not that you can preach it in three messages or three hundred messages, but I'd love to get over at least three messages concerning this thing to where we can kind of understand it a little better. I'd like for you to stand with me if you will. Something glorious, pardon me. Something glorious is taking place and I want to be, I want to be what the Lord would have me to be, and do what he would have me to do. Because I know that everything has come to the end. I realize that. All things are at an end, the writer said. That means that there is not any time to spare. There's not any time to waste. That we are right down to the very end. And we really need to lay hold on the great Christ of Glory. When Paul, the Apostle, received the revelation of Jesus Christ, what did he say? The Son of God, Himself, had come to the Jews and been rejected. But when Christ came, He came in Paul, and Paul said, it is the revelation. For it pleased God to reveal Christ in me, the revelation to the Gentile people, he said, Setting me for a light unto the ends of the earth. It was prophesied before his birth. We read it the other night in the Old Testament. And he said, you receive me as Christ, Himself. Why? Because it was Christ, Himself. It was Christ. Somebody would say, But that couldn't be. But the Bible said, He was bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Who then else would it be? The Bible said, His glory He will not give to another. But Beloved Friend, we are not another. We are His own body. His own members. We are His bone. We are his flesh. We are His Bride. Father, make these one even as we are one. One what? One body. One membership. One spirit. Father, glorify these with the same glory that I had with thee before the world ever was. You mean you are going to give us your glory, Jesus. Father, glorify these with my glory, that where I am they may be also. Oh, what a wonderful time. What a wonderful thought. What a wonderful experience, to know that the angels have not received of this glory.(Tape 2 side 1 begins) But you and I are going to be ruler of the world to come and of this world also. Heaven is His throne. Earth is His footstool. You say, well, He'll rule from His throne, but the Bible said, He that over cometh shall set down in the throne with me. Heaven is His throne. That's a big throne, isn't it? That's a big throne. Heaven is a big place. Let's sing this little chorus together. Brother Pike leads singing of "Every Hour I Need Thee." The Bible said, It shall come to pass, whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Call upon Him while He's nigh. Seek Him while He may be found for today is the day of salvation. Take no thought for tomorrow will take thought for the things of itself for the evil is sufficient unto the day thereof. Say, well, it may not be the time, Brother Pike, but the Bible said, Now is the day of salvation. Today is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted time. He hath appointed a day wherein He shall judge the world. Let there not be found within you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. But as it is written, as it is said, harden not your heart as it was in the days of the provocation when they saw my works for forty years and proved me and I was grieved with that generation, saith the Lord, and I swear that they should not enter into my rest. Seeing that they entered not in, therefore there remaineth a rest for God's people. And the Bible said, He that is ceased from His own works hath entered into the rest of God. Strive therefore lest the promise be left you of entering in. Let's just close our eyes and lift our hands.(Brother Pike leads in singing again.) While we are singing would you like to gather around the alter for just a minute? (Continues singing.)
