Except Ye Be Born Again

Let's turn over to chapter three John and let's just talk for a few minutes tonight. Can we? Looks like the weather might be fixing to get bad. How many of you are going to be praying for us tomorrow? O.K. (Brother Pike reads chapter three verses 1 thru 21.) I'm just going to talk with you just a minute or two it you don't care, and just comment a little bit. Jesus used the terms here, except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. Now, have you ever just stopped and pondered over that? Just stopped for a little bit and pondered over it? See, Jesus used the terms that he that is born of the flesh, he is flesh. That which is born of the spirit, he said, that is spirit. Now, verily, verily, I say unto you, less a man be born again of the water and of the spirit, he shall not see the kingdom of God. Whereas the Bible says the wicked shall not see when good cometh. He shall not see the kingdom of God. Now, I want you to think on that now. Lest a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Now, you know, we have a tendency in our human understanding to receive a thing the wrong way when it is spiritual. Did you know that? It' doesn't matter how God says it to us, because it is a natural or a vocal expression through human instrumentality and in as much as it falls on human ears, we have a tendency to misunderstand and we have a tendency to misinterpret what God says to us. This is why the world is so far from the things of God. This is why there'll be so few that will get into the kingdom of God. See, When Jesus uses the terms, verily, verily, I say unto you, lest ye be born again, Ye shall not see the kingdom of God. When He uses these terms, the first impression we get is that we must be born again or we're not going to be able to go with Jesus in the rapture and go to see that great beautiful city. Now, isn't that right? That's the first concept we get because that is the human concept of what Jesus has said. And indeed that is true, naturally speaking. that is true. But that is not what Jesus is saying at all. Jesus is saying to Nicodemus, Nicodemus you are a carnal minded person. You're not spiritual. The way that you think is carnal. That there is a difference, Nicodemus, between the spirit and between carnality. There is a difference between the invisible and the visible, and that which is born of the visible belongs to the visible abd that is another deminsion and that is another world. And if you be born of that deminsion, if ye be Born of that world, then you are partakers of that world. Your existance is in that world. But verily, verily, I say unto you, Nicodemus, there is a spirit world, and the spirit world has nothing to do with the natural world, and the great world of spirit is all together different from the thing that you feel and the things that you see and the things that you eat, and that which you are born of. The spirit world is all together difrferent. It's another dimension. It's untouchable. You cannot comprehend it. You cannot see it. You cannot feel it? You cannot get to it. It's a spiritual world. It is a spiritual state of being, and it is a different dimension. It is a different world and they thatare of spirit are of a spirityal world, and they that are of the flesh are of a fleshly world, And they that are of a spirit, they are of a spiritual existance, and they that are of the flesh, they are of a fleshly existance. therefore, Nicodemus, it is a matter of translating, or a matter of transforming. You must translate form one dimension into another dimension, and unless you are born of the spirit you have not made that translation, because as you are born into this world and into this existance and in as much as you are born into this state of being. Nicodemus, you must be born into that state of being, born into that existence. You must be born of the spirit that you might be of the spiritual existence. Do you understand what I'm saying? Jesus was saying there was no way for a human being to see the spiritual state of affairs. There's no way that a human being can ever, whether he lives, whether he dies, or whether he be resurrected. There is no way he can see into that world. Somebody would say, well Brother Pike, If I die, then if God resurrects me then that makes me a spirit, and that means I can see into the world of God. No my dear fellow, that's not right at all. Brother, Sister, that's altogether wrong. It doesn't matter if you die. It doesn't matter if you are resurrected. You still can't see into God's world. It doesn't make you righteous, It doesn't make you spiritual. You understand what I'm saying? The Bible teaches that the wicked dead live not again until the thousand years are finished. Then after the thousand years they are resurrected, and then they stand there at the judgment and they don't see good at all. For the Bible says the wicked shall not see when good comes. All they see is the firey indignation of an angry God that has met them at a judgment bar. They come up out of the grave. they are judged for their wrongs and down into the flames of the burning pit they go again. Do you understand what I'm saying? So then to be a spirit you must be born into a spiritual world. To be a spirit you must be born of the spirit. I say this so often to be a human being you must be born of a human being. To be a bird you must be born of a bird. To be a spirit you must be born of a spirit. You cannot see that which is spiritual. There is no way that you can look upon the spiritual. Somebody would say Brother Pike, one of these days, God is going to take us to that great wonderful city called New Jerusalem, and God is going to take us to that great wonderful world to where we are going to see these great wonderful things of the spirit. No. God's great wonderful world is already here. God's great wonderful heaven is already here. God's great wonderful presence is already here, and God's way of doing things in his kingdom, along with his kingdom is already here. Now, lets look at the Bible and see if that's true. The law and the prophets until John and since that time the kingdom has been preached. And men press their way into the kingdom. How can men press their way into the kingdom if the kingdom isn't present? And the Bible said that men press their way into the kingdom of God, and the Bible said that God hath, that's already right now, God hath already translated us into the marvelous kingdom of our God. Isn't that right? Are you listening to me now? Now, lets look and see if heaven is here. Jesus said, the Son of Man, who was in heaven, and who is in heaven, and yet He stood talking to Nicodemus. How was it that Jesus could say that He was in heaven standing looking at Nicodemus looking at Him and yet he was in this present world, right here? How could He do that? Because heaven was present. Why then did they not see heaven? If heaven was present, why did they not see heaven? If heaven is present right now, why is it that you don't see heaven? The Bible said where two or three or gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them. If God is present in the earth why is it that we don't see God? And the Bible said angels encamp round about them that love the Lord. Be careful how you entertain strangers because some have angels that watch over them and those angels are standing near by. For I will give my angels charge concerning thee, and they bear thee up in all thy ways, lest at any time thou shalt dash thy foot against a stone. There are those angels of God that are given to you I in you and I in the earth, to watch after us. So then, angels are present, and if angels are present, then why is it we don't see the angels? Somebody would say, well, if they were here, we would see them. Alright, Joshua saw them. Moses saw them. Abraham saw them. Isn't that right? They saw them. They were present. Jehovah God, Himself came down upon the mount, and the mount burned with fire. An Moses talked face to face with God. Isn't that right? God came down into the tabernacle and called them face to face. He said, my man Moses, I will speak face to face with Him. So then, that means that there is a spiritual world that is already present, just like there is a natural world present, but some of you will never be in that world. You will never see that world. You will never see the kingdom of God and what Jesus was saying to Nicodemus was this: Nicodemus you are looking through a carnal mind. You are looking through natural understanding and you will never see the spiritual dimension, or this great spirityal kingdom that is present at hand. Less you are born again you'll never be able to have the eyes of your understanding enlightened. Your spirit or inner man will have that privilge of being transformated or translated into this great dimension where this spiritual existance is. Therefore, Nicodemus, unless you are born again, ye shall never see the kingdom of God. This is what Jesus was saying. Now, this is why a lot of times, in preaching to you and trying to teach you, or exhort you, I try to make you understand that going to church isn't going to be of benefit to you. Paying yur tithes isn't going to be a benefit to you. Belonging to the baptist or the Church of God, or the UPC, or being baptized in Jesus Name, or being baptized any other way, isn't going to be a benefit to you, unless you are born again. You must be born of the spirit, Jesus said,If you are to look into the spiritual world you are to be born of the spirit, All of these other things are those things that are outward testemonies of obedience to your inner most faith. That is a proof to you, to God, and to those that are around you that you do believe. You show me your faith without your works, I'll show you my believing by what I do. But at the same time you can have works without faith. You can have dead works. Just because you do the work, that doesn't mean that you believe, but it is a positive thing that if you do believe you will do the works. Now, so then, when we think about a spiritual darkness, when we think about a spiritual waorld, are we just a bunch of people that want to go to church so we can shout and jump and holler and hear somebody say sonthing and feel good, or are we people that are trying to escape death, and get to heaven and get out of this world? Are we playing some kind of a game, to just group ourselves together to have a big time, like at a base ball field a jumping,a and a hollering and a going on, or are we trying to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ into the full measure of the full stature of the Son of God, to be like Jesus and to do te things that Jesus did while He was yet present in this world that we might manifest the glory of God with in us that we might be changed from the state of these mortals into the state of immortality that we might become great celestial beings or Gods as it is referred to in the scriptures? Our blessings in this life, Our inspiration in this life, our emotion in this life, all of this is wonderful. Its in spring. It encourages. It gives us the milk of te word. It causes us to have a drive a lot of times, It stimulates u. It stimulates especially the babes in Christ, nut we have a responsibility, and that responsibility is not to listen to the minister but to do what the minister tells is to do. We are not a group of people that's coming to church just to have somebody to preach to us and have somebody to inspire us and have somebody to make us feel good. We are a group of people that are eternally bound. We are a people that have a destiny, an eternal destiny. We are a people that have to pass from death unto life and we are a people that have a responsibility to God to evangelize the world. We must do something for God. God sends the ministry to build our faith, to make us to grow in the grace of God, to make us to grow in the knowledge of God and God sends the ministry to help us and strengthen us, raise us up and make us like Jesus Christ, Isn't that right? The Lord Jesus Christ was inspiring. The words were inspiring. The things He said was inspiring. The things He done was inspiring, but He never at all acted like the church of today. Not at all. He never preached like the preachers of today. He never acted like the people of today. He never had the interest of the church of today. He was completely different all together. His makeup was different. His idea was different. His way of doing things were different. He had a plan and He had a program and that program was to do the will of the Father that had sent Him and manifest that wonderful thing that God had put in his heart, to catch the attention of the people, that in return He might indoctrinate them in the things of God and place the mind of Christ with in them to where they could grow in the greatness of God, into the great stature of God, to the fullness of that knowledge that would transform man's mind from a man to a God. That would translate his mortal being from this human body into an eternal state of preservation. So then, Jesus said, Nicodemus, are you a leader and you don't know these things? Are you a great Rabbi and you don't understand these things? Are you a preacher and you don't know what I'm talking about? You don't understand that you've got to be born into another world to be another creature, to see another city, to have another life. That is you are born into this world. You have one life. You are a creature. You have one status of life. This is your state of being because you are born of the flesh. You are born of bone. You live from the things of this world. but, Nicodemus there are another poeple that are born of the spirit, and they don't care anything about the flesh. They don't care anything about the natural. They are not interested in the tangible side of life, nor the materialistic side of life. These people are born of the spirit and they see spiritual things and they are looking for spiritual things and their innermost depths is serching for the things of the spirit to where they can inhabit a spiritual world because they are a spiritual being. So then, the first man Adam was made a living soul. The last man Adam was made a quickening spirit. That that is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. This is the thing, I guess that is so shocking about the religious world of today. Hundreds of thousands of people in denominational churches especially. Especially Holiness churches as they refer to them, and very few of them that are really spiritual. That are really born of the spirit. Now, there are a few of them that are born of the spirit, but even those few, many of them are nothing but babies. All they know to do is shout and feel good, and all the preachers ever do is make them feel good. And for ten years they've been like that, and twenty-five years they've been like that. And they call having a good service shouting and having a good time as they say. Feeling the presence of God. Brother, it's good to feel the presence of God. It'll make you dance. It'll make you shout. It'll make you cry, but that still doesn't have any thing to do with your growth in the knowledge of God. That still doesn't have to do with your responsibility in God. That still doesn't have anything to do with your translation into the kingdom of God, or becoming a person that can do something for God. You still remain just a little baby in Christ and have need of milk when you should be feeding off of meat. Whereas, the Bible said, the milk of the word for the babies that they might grow thereby. But the Bible also teaches that the meat for the strong, they who have by reasoning exercised their senses to be able to discern between good and evil. What we've got is a responsibility, and the inspiration of the preacher, whether he teaches, whether he preaches, whether he shouts, ot whether he doesn't shout or whether he screams, or whether he just talks, the inspiration of that amounts to one thing and that is what you get out of it. Whatever you get out ot it that's all that you are in your growth. If you get so much out of it, then that's what you are. Whatever that preacher affords, whatever that anointing gives you, whatever that portion or measure of anointing gives you, whatever that inspiration gives you, or whatever you're taught by the mouth of God as that anointing comes forth, that's all that you've got. Whether it be milk or whether it be meat, and God gives to you according to that that you are able to receive, according to that you're able to have. And my ambition, my desire is to grow into the full measure of the full stature of the Son of God. I like what Paul said when he said, I count all my learning as nothing. I count it as dung that I might excel in the things of God and that I might obtain of that great wonderful mind of God, and go into the wonderful heavenlies of God that this great knowledge that He spoke of might be in my heart, for He said now is made known unto the church the manifold wisdom of the Almighty God. It's made known unto the church, but we have to be partakers. We've got to be spiritual. We've got to be alive. We can't just set down and dry up. God sends evangelist to stir us up. God sends teachers to edify us. God sends many gifts in the church. Many different kind of operations. One spirit many operations. He does this to shake us. Some people can't feed off of meat. They have to have milk. God sends milk for them. He sends one kind of sermon today. He sends another kind of sermon tomorrow. He sends another kind of sermon the next day. One day maybe they'll just shout, praise God, clap their hands, and just sing and worship, and God gives them a little milk. And the next day God takes those people that are more advanced and He feeds them the meat, that they might grow into the great revelation of the Son of God. That they might get into the great places of God in those heavenly places. Transforming and translating, farther and farther into the great,wonderful things of God. Into the higher heights, like the song said, deeper, deeper, higher, higher. So then deeper, deeper, let me go. Higher, Higher, in the school of wisdom. These things Jesus said to Nicodemus, Nicodemus, do you know? Do you know that going to church isn't going to do you any good? Do you know that saying you are a Rabbi isn't worth the time you take to say it? Do you know that just because you've been a jew, as we would say, or you've been a leader, or you've been numbered with the people. Just because you've done that doesn't mean you've gotten any where. God is a spirit. They that worship him in spirit and to do that you must be born of the spirit, because you must become a spirit to worship a spirit. Therefore, unless you are born of the spirit, Nicodemus, you are never even going to see this thing I'm speaking of. This is a spiritual thing that is in a spiritual world and a spiritual dimension and you have to be born into the spirit to even be in that world where this thing exist. It doesn't even exist to natural people. It doesn't even exist. It's not even existent to the natural, or to natural people. It is only existent in the spirit. Therefore they that are of the spirit and born of the spirit, to them and them alone is it existent, and they alone can see it. Therefore, the Bible said, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you comprehend the higths, the depths, the width, and the length. This is the way that you see. That's the only way you'll see God. You know. When I say that, our mind you know, our mind begins to think, but we see, we see, we see, the post. We see the light. We see the birds. We see the trees. Why this is the world of reality. We see, Brother Pike. But I want you to stop and think for just a minute and I'm going to close. Now, I'm just exhorting you a little bit tonight. but I want you to stop and think now. Alright. This is the great world of existance so far as we are concerned, because we see, we feel, When Brother Pike and the other ministers talk about spiritual things as far as we are concerned that's not reality, but has it ever occured to you that this is such a puny life, or so called life, that all that it consist of is just your nerve system, and that's all. That one breath from God went into Adam and has been passed down to you, and that little old heart of your's is nothing more than a muscle. It's just a pump like in a well. And that if it gets squeezed too hard it'll stop pumping and that if somebody startles you that breathe will go right out of you, or you'll have a complication and that little pump will get a hang up and it'll stop. Not too much jolt or your life is over. Has it ever occured to you that all this life consist of is nerves and there is no reality to it at all? For instance, did you know that if your nerves in your tooth is deadened, you don't have any more life in your gum? Did you know that? That's the end of your life in your gum. (Tape Turned Over)... tongues goes out on you that's the end of your world of taste. You don't taste sweet, good, things that are lovely to your taste any more. That's the end of your world. Did you know that if your nerves in your ears go out on you that that's the end of your world of hearing? There is no more world. Becuase all it was was those little old nerves. And did you know that if the eye nerves to your brain goes out that then you can see no more, Because that's the end of your world, that's all it was, was just a few little nerves. They say Twenty two conductive nerves from the eye to the brain. When they go out that's the end of your world. That's all of it. You can't hear any more, you can't see any more. You can't taste any more. And if the feeling, if your nerves go dead becuase of a wreck, from your waist down, you are dead. You can't feel any more. And should the nerves up here in your brain stop functioning, you can't be any more. Are you listening? Your great world of importance and reality, is nothing. Absolutely nothing more that a flagment of imagination, to the extent, it is just a little nerve reaction, and that's all it is. Because when Adam and Eve got seperated from life they've been dead ever since, and the Bible said, in Adam all die, so nobody is born to life, Nobody is born to live. Everybody that comes forth from that generation is dead. They are dead because they are born into trespasses and sin. They are cut off from the spirit of life, and all they have is a little breath of life in their nostrils. And the Bible said man's nostrils holds his breath and whose life, or breath is in his nostrils, And I say this so often to prove the point; grab the nostrils and close the mouth if you have any doubt about what I'm saying and you'll find out that's all you've got and it won't take long to end it. Just one little breath of life. That's all you are. Yet we place so much emphasis on our body, on our being, on who we are, and what we are and what we're going to do and what we're going to show people and how it's all going to end, when there is nothing to us. Absolutely nothing. But I'll tell you one thing, if we can make that change over while we have this breath of life, if we can hear that word of God that spoke to Adam and Eve saying, Where art thou?, and if we can anser back and say, through Calvary we believe, then that same life that Aedam was out off from, and that Eve was cut off from, that same spirit, that same life, the only source of life, will hurriedly, by means of the atonement, and through faith in God, that great spirit of life will come down into our body, into our heart, and into our innermost being, into our spirit and translate our inner life into His life, and we will become and eternal being, and even though this body won't amount to a hill of beans; yet that inner life can never die from that moment on. Never again can it die. It has passed from death unto life. It has been sealed with the Holy Spirit. It is impossible for it to die and though the shell on the outside wither up, wrinkles up, passes away, get crippled up, or it it's put in a coffin, it has nothing to do with it. That great life of God has taken our innermost life and we are alive forever and eternally and nothing can't touch us. And in the day that we are living in, if we can except the word of God and believe that the word of God created all things, we can by faith of God, by the atonement of God, by the spirit of life on the inside of us, control the atomic particles of this body and cause it to change into a celestial condition to where we can fulfill, as Paul made the statement, the scripture, we shall not all sleep, that this body doesn't have to die. It can be translated by faith into that great spiritual kingdom that Jesus spoke of. If my spirit is translated into the spirit of God by faith I can see that great kingdom. Through the eyes of my understanding and I can by-pass this little old world that really isn't reality when you define it, and I can get into the world that is reality and I can be translated into the spiritual kingdom of God and become a part of it, and see it and fellowship the angels ad by means of the great spirit and that power take control of this outer being and change these blood genetics and these cells into a celestial state of being to where they will never put it in a casket. You love Jesus? Jesus said, Nicodemus there is a world of difference. Nothing less than a world of difference, a world of difference. You are of this world. I am of that world. If you've been born of the spirit, beloved Friend, you are of the spirit world. If you've not been born of the spirit it doesn't matter how much you come to church or how long you've been at Bethlehem. It doesn't matter how much you've give, how much you've prayed, how much you've fasted. It doesn't matter it you've been baptized, or haven't been baptized, if you are not born again, translated into the spirit of God, then that means that you are not of that spirit world. So then, you say, how can I know, Brother Pike? The child is known by his doings. IF you're born of the spirit, the Bible said, he that is in the flesh cannot please God, but he that is in the spirit, he pleaseth God. So then, he that is in the flesh, he savors the things that be of the flesh. He loves the things that be of the flesh. He follows the things that be of the flesh. He thinks of the things that be of the flesh. His plans is of the things of the flesh., He loves the convenience of this world. He loves money. He loves prestige. He loves power. He loves position. All the conveniences of this life, he loves it, because Satan loves the things that be of the flesh and Paul said, in my flesh there dwelleth no good thing. So then, if you are in the flesh, then you are born of the flesh, you love the things of the flesh and you cannot plese God. You must perish whith the world, becuase you are a composition of the world, But be that is born of the spirit, whereas the Bible said, ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, for he that is born of the spirit he doesn't walk in the flesh nor after the flesh, nor care for the flesh. His mind is upon the spirit and the things of the spirit, and the Fathers will, and the desire of the things of God, and heaven, and he's interested in his growth in God and the welfare of God, and he's always trying to do something, one way or another, to lay up treasures in heaven, or to be like the Heavenly Father, or to cause someone else to be like the Heavenly Father. Brother, Sister, if you're not walking in the spirit then you are fulfilling the desire of the flesh, but if you walk in the spirit you don't have any desire ot the flesh. Because the flesh is dead, because of sin. Do you understand what I'm saying? Therefore being delivered from the flesh we are of the spirit. You love Jesus? You think over what I'm saying. There's a lot we'd like to say. A lot of commenting we'd like to do, but we're not going to try to do it tonight. but this is enough to make you stop and think. He that is born of the flesh, what does the Bible say? He careth for the things of flesh. He careth for those things. But he that is born of the spirit, what does the scripture say? He careth for the things of the spirit. Alright. lets stand together. Less ye be born again ye shall not even see the kingdom of God. Now, I trust these few things we've said, or these few remarks, that they're been enlightening and that you'll take these things to heart as we've exhorted you tonight. Think on these things. and as we teach you and exhort you, or even as we preach to you from time to time. Whether we teach you, Paul said, I'm a teacher and a preacher, whether we teach you or whether we preach, think on these things that we are saying to you, because they are needful. Think on these things. They are needful. Think on these things. They are needful. The kingdom of God is at hand. Men are being translated into the kingdom of God. You have the right to be translated into the kingdom of God. You have the right to be born of the spirit. But Brother, Sister, I tell you in the name of Jesus, there is no way to play with the things of God and Get to heaven. You must be born of the spirit. It is a spirit God. It is a spirit world. It must be a spirit man, or You will not have a spirit life of eternal existence, therefore that which is of the flesh is born of the flesh. That which is of the flesh desireth the world of the flesh and it's interest is in the things of the flesh, and Satan being the prince of this world, his interest is in this world. He loves the things of this world. He careth for the things of this world. He careth for the things of this world. Those that are not of this world, their mind is a mind of this world. It is a carnal mind. A carnal mind. A carnal mind means that it thinks naturally. It thinks about natural convenience, natural benefits, natural things. That is it's interest. That is it's excitement. That is the thing that excites it. That is the thing that is it's interest. But he that is born of the spirit, spiritual things excite him. Spiritual interest arouse him. These great spiritual things of God, they draw him, because he is allured by spiritual enticement. So then, I say to you again, if you be carnally minded. That is if your mind is a composition ot a constitution of natural intellectual desire, thoughts, hunger ot thirst, then ye shall die. But if you mind b of the spirit, the spiritual mind, he that be spiritual minded, that's life. That's eternal life. If you are spiritually minded then you'll think concerning spiritual things. Always have a spiritual interest, and spiritual hunger, a spiritual desire. This is the only proof of eternal life. And you will see that great kingdom, because the spirit of revelation will be given to you, and God will begin to unveil little by little. Unveil in that you carnal thoughts will begin to transformate one at a time until each thought will become a spiritual reality and you will see the great world of spirit because a world is a mind, And he hath placed that mind called the world in your heart and he hath placed in the hearts of the Saints of God the mind of Christ, called the Kingdom. And He will gradually transformate your mind from thought to thought until the eyes of your understanding is enlightened and you behold the kingdom of God and the wonderful riches of heaven. Nicodemus, unless you are born of the spirit you will never have that transformating experience, Be ye therefore transformed by the renewing of your mind, Paul said. You'll never have that transformating experience less ye have first that translating experience of new birth of the inner man into the spirit of God. Neither will you ever have that transfiguration, or that transfiguring experience of the Thessalonian change, in a moment, in a twinkling of the eye, after that innermost transformating of the mind has finished it's course. You'll never do that, Nicodemus, unless you first have that translating experience if the innermost man of the new birth. Lest ye be born of the spirit ye shall never see the kingdom of God. Let's sing a little chorus together and let's worship Jesus. You love Jesus tonight? While we sing this little chorus together, I want you to stop and think, and ask yourself the question, if you're in the faith tonight, if you're in the faith tonight. Examine yourselves and see if you be in the faith. Let's sing this. (Brother Pike leads singing of "Oh how sweet to trust in Jesus.) Don't you love Jesus? Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, How I've proved Him o'er and o'er. Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus. Oh, for grace to trust Him more. Now, I want you to slip your hands up with me tonight. I hope, tonight,that something has happened in your heart and your mind and you understanding. And I trust the excitement of serving Jesus will fill every fiber of your body and the great enthusiasm of God and joy will overflow in your heart so that God shall supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory, so that the God that I'm serving, the God of Abraham, and Jacob and Isaac. That this God can meet all of your needs and bless you with the wonderful desire of the heart every day of your life. To heal you. To save you. Yo keep To forgive you. What a joy and what a jubilance. Let's just lift our hands up and love Him. Can we do that tonight? While you've got your hands up loving Jesus tonight, Let's just pray together. Father, Lord of Heaven, In Jesus Name, Father I pray tonight for the healing of these people. Father stretch out your healing hand tonight, and break every yoke tonight and let the power of God be here. Oh God, I feel it right bow. I feel the Holy Ghost falling on the audience, even as Peter did when he preached down at Cornelius' let the Holy Ghost fall on this audience and I feel Him falling on them, Father, to heal tonight, and to forgive tonight, Hallelujah. In Jesus Name move by your spirit, Oh, God. Move by your anointing, Hallelujah. Touch them in Jesus name, tonight, Father. May the glory of God be here. May every need be met. May every person rejoice in Jesus tonight, May our vision be enlarged as we go into all the world, a gospel to every creature. Grant it Heavenly Father, In your preacious loving anointing, and in your precious, wonderful will. let's sing this chorus together. I will enter his gates with thanksgiving in my heart, I will enter his courts with praise. Can we sing that together. (Brother Pike leads the singing.) Sing it again now. (Singing continues) Can you sing it one more time? (Continue singing.) Can you say hallelujah. Praise God. I believe Jesus has made you glad tonight. He's sure made me glad, and I love Him tonight. I'm going to ask my brother, Junior,to come tonight if he will and dismiss you in a word of prayer, and in that Jesus has made you glad tonight, I want you to just rejoice in your heart. The Bible says rejoice forever more. Be glad. Be happy. Be happy, why not be happy? You've got eternal life. All things work together for good to them that love the Lord and those that are the called. That is according to His purpose. Love Jesus and rejoice in Jesus. Everything is going to be alright. Everything's going to be alright. Why not sing that chorus just before Junior dismisses us. Can we? If you believe everything's going to be alright, let's sing that chorus, can we? (Brother Pike leads singing of "Everything's going to be alright".)
