The End Of The World

...as a man spareth his son when I come to make up my jewels. So then, God has let us know that He isn't pleased with us. The only thing that humanity can do anymore is just run for their lives and trust God that they will be able to make it. Okay. Let's read some from the book of Revelation. I don't know just where we will go in our thoughts this morning. It just kind of depends. I always kind of have to watch the atmosphere to see what kind of spiritual atmosphere we have. God is the Holy Spirit and He's like a dove. He's very sensitive. And for Him to minister we have to be very submissive and very gentle in our spirit, even to the point, the Bible said, to being still. The Bible said, Be still and know that I am God. Being still then is like still water. Like I was looking at a lake yesterday and it was so still I could hardly find even a tiny ripple, and it was like a beautiful mirror, as to the reflection of the heavens. So beautiful, silvery looking was it. God speaks of being still. When it speaks of being still, where the Bible speaks of being still it indicates that in your spirit that you are without turbulence, that within your spirit everything is very gentle, very gentle and very sweet, very submissive, and in that the Holy Spirit, which is so sweet and gentle, He just comes right in like a summer breeze, or an early morning springtime breeze with the sweet shrubs, you know, and when it's caressing. That's the way God is and if we are the least bit impudent, or if we are in anyway, you know, without stillness of spirit then we don't get the full blessings of God. He lets you rejoice and that's good to praise the Lord. Whereas, the Bible said, He leadeth me beside the still waters. And John speaks of waters as being a symbol of people. I want to say again we're glad to have you here. I see Bill and Mary is in church this morning. We appreciate them being here with us this morning and also Denny and his wife and family are here this morning. We appreciate having them and also I don't know who this is with Debbie this morning. Who is this, Debbie? Who is this, Brother? Oh. Okay. We're glad to have Beverly with us then. How many of you appreciate these people being with us? Can you give them a hand? All right. So we're glad to have you hear with us this morning. I want to say again that it means a lot for us to have you come to be with us. Also Kathy and Chris is back with us this morning and I think they are really wanting to serve the Lord and do something for the Lord, for which I'm very glad. It seems like Eloise's prayer are catching up with some of her family and this is good. This is wonderful. All right. And I say again, we're glad to have Kenny. I don't know whether his family is with him or not this morning. They are with you? That's good. We have Brother James Dokes's daughter and Kenny's little one is up there, too, huh, Kenny? The little one with you? Okay. All right. We're so glad to have these people with us. And also we've got a couple of newly weds here, too. I don't know what happened, Micah had to go down but anyway they're here. Micah met me this morning and put his arms around me and said, Pray for me. So, I guess I'd better remember him. Anyway everything seems to be all right. All right. The book of Revelation, let's read just a little bit this morning. Let's read in the fifth chapter first, beginning at the first verse. (Brother Pike reads chapters 5 and 6) Now we go on down to chapter seven there where it speaks of the four winds, and we brought it out the other evening that the angels having the four winds on the four corners of the earth that they would turn these a loose and they would hurt the earth and the sea and whatever after that the hundred and forty-four thousand, that is to say Israel, is sealed. Once they are sealed then they will turn these winds a loose, and as I said, this that we are having to do with right now, as to Iraq, is the third world war. And it's going to build up until all four winds will be turned loose. The Bible said in Revelation 11, And the nations were angry and the kingdoms of this world had just become the Kingdoms of God and of His Christ that He should reign forever and ever. And if you remember it was not too long ago in our tent meeting over in Eden that we sent the flag, as from here, as to Washington, as to Mr. Reagan declaring that the kingdoms of this world has become the Kingdoms of God and of His Christ that He should reign forever and ever, and He received it with open arms. And then we realize that as to this flag, they began to burn this flag. If you remember, they began to burn it as to say, Old Glory is passed away and that which is new has come. Behold, I make new heavens and a new earth. And I make all things new. And so then, it was very, very becoming that this area be as it was as seen in visions, and that as to sending the flag and those kind of things. But anyway, in the 11th chapter it is stated there that God had changed everything and was bringing in a new way of life. Whereas, sure enough Mr. Bush coming along has declared that we now have a new world order. And as to the correlation of nations it's just right for Mr. Bush to do that as to overthrow Communism, as to the casting down of the dragon. And then all of a sudden it is becoming to know that these things happening, that it will work it's way around to the King of the North and as to the Antichrist, which will take control of the correlated nations to boycott against Israel. Now, I want to remind you again that that is in the middle of the week and you have to remember that at the first of the week is when the Church goes out, a long about the first of the week, somewhere along in there, on the first part of the week that is. And you have to remember that with this that the bottomless pits, they are opened up somewhere around the first part of the week. Now, that means that there is going to be quite a conglomeration of things in the first part of the week. The last part of the week when Antichrist takes over is when God is going to pour out of His wrath upon the seat of the Antichrist and his kingdom will be filled with darkness, I say again, to the extent there won't even be any healing medicines, in that all of those wonderful things come from God, in that a medicine doeth good. Now, I want to talk with you just for a few minutes there. I'm a little early this morning. I got here a little early. I been getting here a little early. As a matter-of-fact, I'm reminded that a brother yesterday, he reproved me for being late for church. He wanted to know if I had been coming to church a little earlier since I'd been reproved before by somebody, which I had not. But it's good, you know. To get to church on time that's good. That's good. We should get to church on time. But last night I decided that maybe I'd just kind of stay with the Lord there, as to on my knees for a half a night, and maybe try get to church early that it appears that it means more to some of them for me to get to church early than for me to stay on my knees. I try to stay sometimes all night on my knees so that I could be before the Lord and get something from God that when we come to church that we can share with you, and in the meantime pray for you and your children and family that God will help you because it's such a terrible day that we're living in and I fear continually lest something should happen that Satan would take advantage of you and you be lost or your loved ones be lost, or you wind up in prison. That is, your loved ones or whatever. But if it pleases you more the other way maybe we can do something as to working it out. I don't know just exactly how, because I get real troubled if I lay down, sometimes I get real troubled, and I get real restless. But, anyway, you know, I, sometimes I have to confess that even then if I should do that I'd still be late for church because sometimes I feel lead that I should not come. I see different ones outside and I know that if I come I'm going to talk to those people, they're going to talk to me, they're going to stop me. And then my mind, after trying to program it all night, when I come it's going to be programmed with their thoughts and when I get up here I'm not going to be able to administer the things to you that I'd like to administer to you. So there is some times that I do that, and then there are some times the Lord allows something to happen at the last minute that He stops me. I just can't get here. And some times I'm just laying down, maybe just before church time and Betty refuses to awaken me if I doze off to sleep. She'll let me be a little late. And some times I'm just careless like everybody, you know, and I just don't get here on time. perhaps like I'd like to be. But at any rate we'll try to do whatever we can if it pleases you to be different. Now, it's kind of like Brother Branham used to do. I understand Billy use to go by and say, Dad, it's church time. And he'd say, Billy, the Lord hasn't released me yet. I'll just have to stay here until he gives me permission to go. But in this it would help us a lot of times if just coming to church, if we'd spend a little more time in church at home, as to talking to the Lord, that when we come to church it wouldn't be just then that we would be in church, as we say. We really should be in the presence of the Lord all the time. All right. Now, I don't feel any drawing this morning, as to spiritual things. I feel a real good congregation. I don't feel any rebellion out of the people. I don't feel any person that is ugly toward me in their spirit, any evil surmising, even though I know it's out there. When you come to present yourself before God Satan comes also and the people in whom Satan dwells, they come also when you come. So I know they're out there and if I ripple the water just a little bit wrong I know they'll show their heads. But anyway, we try to keep them under control to where we can talk with you. And I feel a real good attitude this morning in that you must be strong enough that you're keeping things quite, or either the other must be in fear enough with this war going on that they are wanting to get straightened out, or they are wanting to at least hear what's going on, but I don't feel anything at all, as to a hunger, as to a thirst, as to a moving, as to a drawing that would cause God to speak to you. But I'm going to talk anyway and trust that maybe something will break forth, or maybe I'll strike a cord as to somebody being hungry, or something. But I just feel it, you know, closed out as far as some times we do that. All right. Now, I'll take up a little thought here. First of all in Revelation 10 and 7; I've reminded you of this so much. It says, "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets." And then it says in Revelation 11: 15. "And the seventh angel sounded: and there were great voices in heaven, saying," Now, I'd like to just comment on this. It says, "In the days of the voice of the seventh angel." And I remind you again, when you say the seventh angel you're speaking of the opening of the seventh seal, which is in Revelation 8 and the thirty minute silence in heaven where it appeared that the blood come off of the Seat of Atonement and of the seven angels that started to sounding in Revelation 8. It sounds like that this is the final sound. So then, seven angels sounds. One sounds and the Bible said, A mountain burning like fire is cast into the sea, third part of the sun is smitten, a third part of the moon is smitten, a third part of the stars is smitten, which evidently this is also the casting out of Lucifer. But, there are seven angels and these seven angles are sounding. They are sounding and the last three of these are woes. Woe, woe, woe. And the last angel that is to sound, the sounding will be a woe. And in between the sixth and the seventh trumpet then the angel sets one foot on the land and one foot on the sea, raises his hand to heaven and swears by him that liveth forever and ever that time should be no more. Now, if I should get into Revelation just concerning this angel it would be so unbelievable. It would take all day long to just go into this concerning this passage, as concerning the angel and what he has to do here and the breach between that sixth and seventh trumpet, or between the second and the third woe; there is so much revelation in it. But anyway, just kind of touching this lightly, as to get a thought this morning. And it says here the seventh angel sounded and it says, when he sounded. Someone would say, and they have ask me this, How many seventh angels are there? I have heard so many people, or the seventh angel, and they said, What is going to happen when the seventh angel sounds? And when will we know, or when does he sound? It's very obvious that he's sounding right here, and when he sounds it says, The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ and he shall reign forever and ever. That's what happens. When the seventh angel sounds it will be the end of the world. Now. When does he sound? It's recorded here in the middle of the week. It's recorded here in the middle of Daniel's last week. It is given here in chapter 11 right after the prophets are recorded to have witnessed three and a half years. And following it, it is said that the woman goes into the wilderness for three and a half years. And there is only seven years of the last week so that means that it has to be in the middle of the last week, as to this recorded. And we could say a lot concerning that because it has a spiritual application, has a natural application. Another thing that we'd like to remind you of is that when we speak of the end of the world, most of the time people don't understand what we're saying. When we say the end of the world they usually don't understand what we're saying, because to begin with they don't understand how the world was created. All they do is think of a passage of Scripture and it said, God said, Let there be and there was. And to them they don't really understand in detail, as to the act of creation, how that it came to be. And it is the same way with the end of the world. They don't understand the end of the world. In their mind their conception of the end of the world is that everything just blows to pieces and the world falls apart like a broken cracker and that's the end of the world. But that's not it at all. It doesn't work that way at all. So then, when we speak of the end of the world, let's take this though here as for a minute until I can kind of program your mind. From the time that the crown went down into Babylon, approximately five hundred years before the coming of the Lord. When we say the crown we're speaking of Judah being taken into Babylonian captivity. Having twelve tribes ten of them went away into Syria, as called the lost tribes. And then finally the others, as to Judah went down into Babylon and that meant that the Kingship had gone into Babylon and now had become the possession of the Gentiles. And so the time of the Gentiles, as we refer to it, had set in. During this time, Daniel just being a young boy, was taken down there and as he grew older he realized that these things had befallen his people because of sin. He became very dearly beloved of God because he would fast and pray and would ask God to show him things about the Kingdom of God and his people. And Daniel toward the end of the seventy years, whereas the prophet had prophesied it would be and Jeremiah had spoke of it. Toward the end of the seventy years Daniel understood by the scrolls, by the teachings of the prophet that they would be there seventy years, but beyond the seventy years there was nothing as to what God had said would befall his people. Now. He had come into manhood and he was wondering as to what was going to happen. He and the three Hebrew children, which were dear friends. Now, he was wondering what was going to happen. So he set his face to God and he began to pray and fast. And then the angel came and said, O Daniel, dearly beloved man of God, I'm going to show you what shall befall your people. when we say, Your people we're talking about the Jews. Daniel was a Jew. What will befall your people in the later times. And so then, Daniel praying God showed him that seventy years was determined upon his people. And the angel said, Seventy years is determined upon thy people to make an end of the transgression to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up the vision and to anoint the most holy. All right. So I've said to you numbers of times. So it came to pass that when Daniel checked this according to the scrolls, that one day in prophecy was equal to a year and so then in figuring this he saw four hundred and ninety years was determined upon his people and that with this four hundred and ninety years, within the radius of this four hundred and ninety years, that the end of the world would come, that some times during this four hundred and ninety years that the end of the world would come. Well, anyway, four hundred and eighty-three years passed. Now, if your in question as to the accuracy of this you can check history and you'll find out that in Bible history or whatever that there was approximately five hundred years left before the coming of the messiah. It gives it. And during this time the walls had to be built back. We brought it out about King Artaxerxes and Nehemiah and how he was the kings cup bearer and how in those days he was very sad until the king found out the problem. Said, Go, Nehemiah and bring timber from the king's forest and build back the walls of Jerusalem, or the house of Israel. Which he did, and in troublesome time. And you remember how that Sanballat, a half-breed withstood him, because when the roll was read that lots of them had intermingled in marriage and because of that Nehemiah would not let them come into Jerusalem. So then, Sanballat, a half-breed, got all upset and withstood him. You remember the story. Mocked him in what he did. All right. Now. All during this time as a conglomeration of about forty-nine years there, finally the walls were built and everything was ready, but when they got ready to go into Jerusalem, as to returning from Babylon, Daniel now seeing what would befall his people after the seventy years, that they would rebuild the walls back even in troublous times, as to say Sanballat and his people fighting against them and also projecting, extensively speaking, way on over to the end time past the tribulation period that things would take place as similar. All right, now. So then, we see that here when they got ready to return that they had intermarried. They had wives, they had children. And when they were called back to their homeland they said they wanted to bring their wives and children. And he said, No. And they said, But they're our wives and our children. Nehemiah said, You still have to put them away; you can't have them. And of course, that was hard. But that was how strict it was with the people. Well, anyway, four hundred and eighty-three years passed by as coming on over to Calvary, and then with that Messiah did come. Now, when Messiah came, what did he do? He made an end of sin. Now this is why that I so emphatically state the things that I do. I do not believe in a Christian sinning. I do not believe someone that's Christlike could sin, for they were first called Christians at Antioch. That's where they were called Christians because they were Christlike. I do not believe that you go from one revival to another revival, or one protracted meeting to another protracted meeting to get salvation over and over. I do not believe that a man can get salvation today and lose it tomorrow and come back the next day and get it. I do not believe he can get forgiveness of sins and go back and sin tomorrow and come back the next day and get forgiveness for sins. I do not believe that. You know, if you do that's all right. That's your business, but I do not believe that. I do not preach that. I preach that you are saved once and for all. When you repent of your sins then do you receive salvation if it is a God accepted repentance. (Begin tape one, side two.).. being in Christ's stead should intercede. Pray that God would grant repentance unto them that are without. I say to you again, God heareth not a sinner's pray. It doesn't matter how much they pray, God isn't going to hear it. God does not hear a sinner's prayer. We are the ones that pray that God will grant repentance unto them that are without. And God will only hear a prayer as from the elect, as to the elect. Though there is grace. Though there is grace over all of the world and the blood of Jesus is on the Seat of Atonement and everyone has a chance for the healings and blessings of God with the grace upon them. And to that extent they are accepted if they pray. But as to God really hearing a sinner's prayer He never hears a sinner's prayer. He never even sees a sinner. He cannot even look at a sinner, because other than the grace of God there is no way He can see him because the Bible says His eyes ae too pure to behold iniquity. On the day as to when grace is lifted God will immediately turn them all into darkness. That is, He won't even look at them. He can't even look at them that is why it is gross darkness covering the people. It is because God is not near them. God cannot get near them. Darkness and light hath no fellowship, and as long as there is grace there is light. When the grace is gone there won't be any light because God can't even get near them and they cannot get near God. But right now, as to the grace of God being upon the just and the unjust, the rain on the just and the unjust, it means the devil, himself, can come to church. It means the devil, himself, can be in heaven. But the way that he is in heaven is in the second heaven which is the dispensation of grace, whereas he lives inside of a human being. He can live inside of a human being. That human being, not being a Christian, can have the devil living on the inside of him, because when you are born into this world you are born into iniquity. The Bible said, In iniquity did my mother conceive me and I'm shapen in iniquity. You are an image of iniquity. Someone said, I'm made in the likeness of God, Brother Pike. I'm made in the image of God. Adam and Eve was made in the image of God. Adam was made in the image of God and Eve was taken out of Adam. See? And that was the image of God. But when they fell from the Garden they lost the image and the Lord said unto them, said, You cover with an image, or you cover with a covering. That is, being a spiritual being, an angelic form of life, you have a covering, but it's not of Me. It's not My image. It's not my covering. It's not my body. The Bible speaks of the covering cherubs. And so then, the Bible speaks of the covering of His glory. We've preached on it. You cover with a covering but not of me, He said. Which means that your covering today is not the image of God. It is the image of the beast. And the Bible said, And God clothed them with skins to give them an understanding what they have done. Today your spiritual being is clothed with beasts. It's clothed with skin and scientists have proven that your origin is beast, because that is true. It is beast. And Jesus said you are of the dust. From the dust thou art and to the dust thou shalt return. But you that are born again, you that are children of God, you that are the elect, as to was before the world ever was when the Bible said this was given to you in Christ. And before the world ever was it was given to you. As to the Lamb slain in the mind of God before the world ever was, your names written down in the Lamb's Book of lIfe in that Paul said, Greet my women workers, my men workers, or these whose names are written down in the Lamb's Book of Life. So then, as to your names being wrote down in the Lamb's Book of Life, it said, And all of the world wondered after the beast except those whose names were written down in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. So then, the beast then is, collectively speaking, all human beings. All human beings. That's why your body must die. It is an image of iniquity. The way that Messiah made an end of iniquity, as the Bible said it would do, four hundred and eighty-three years following the prophetical utterance here He comes. He makes and end of iniquity and the way He did it was by doing away with that person that you think so much of, that contrary image of yours that you always primp and pamper. I've said this before, all is vanity, vanity and vexation of the spirit. All is vanity. And as years ago they called a mirror a vanity, which means all in this world is nothing but a reflection of the world, as to the spiritual world and you are only a reflection of a spiritual being, and you will come to a full ultimatum of change in your visage to the extent that the visibility will be there that you will be a walking devil, a walking demon, or you will be a walking Son of God. So then, it is that you have a nature working inside of you. Paul said, Within my flesh there dwelleth no good thing, but a will is present but how to perform that which is good I find not. That is, because of corruptible flesh and because it is a bastard child image, out of wedlock and it is an image of iniquity. Now. Unless you are born again that's the kind of image you are. That's the kind of person you are. And as I say, your biggest enemy is you, as to your spiritual being on the inside, the inner man, as the Bible refers to it. The enemy of the inner man is the outer man, which is the bodily image. The bodily image of iniquity. So, in Messiah coming, He done away with iniquity by coming in the image of iniquity, made in the image and likeness of iniquity, and God smote that image at Calvary and done away with that image of iniquity. And now Paul says, as to the revelation, that the body is dead because of sin. It had to be smitten. It was a bastard child image. It was repulsive in the sight of God. Though we look in the mirrors and we primp and pamper and think so much of our visage, you know, but yet God hates it. He said, I will hate and despise thine image in the morning, as when the light comes because right now the people are in darkness. Gross darkness is covering the people, intellectual darkness has swallowed up the people and will continue to get worse and worse, that is to the middle of the week. It will be so dark they'll gnaw their tongues for pain. They won't be intellectually able to understand anything. They will be an ignorant people as to God things, as to things that really make sense. All right. So I said that to say this. That we are crucified with Christ and should reckon ourselves to be dead indeed unto the world and alive unto God, for if we be buried with Him in death, as to baptism, then are we resurrected with Him in life, unto the newness of life in that we are now a new creature. Old things have passed away and behold all things are new. We are mortifying this body. We are putting down this body. We are crucifying this body. This body is distasteful to us. We are putting it down. We are doing away with it. We don't want it at all. We're putting it down that we might be in the sight of God as to that holy body, to be holy in body, the Bible said; to be holy in spirit. And Paul said to be able to present you body, soul and spirit blameless before God that we are going to be presented to God that way. Because this body is called the worm, and it is the worm that God despises that will be cast into the fire. The Bible said, Where the fire is not quenched and the worm dieth not. That is to say, this body is the serpent. It is the generation of vipers. It's born of Adam. And in Adam all die, because he lost his image, as to that image of the over shadowing, we say, or as the illumination. He lost that and it wasn't restored until Calvary, as to them that are born again. And you that are born again you are the image of God. You are made in the image of God. He hath come to find you and now you that are born again, you are the lost image of God that He hath found. He hath restored you, so you are putting down that which is the outer body. You are burying it, you are doing away with it. You are mortifying it. You are turning away from it, you won't let it feed off of the magazines and television shows, and eating and drinking, and powdering and pampering and lipstick and eyebrows, you know, painted and earrings and gold and silver and jogging and muscles and all these other kind of things, to strip off down along the beach and all these things are projecting Satan. See? You refuse to have anything to do with Satan and the body is dead. You do not lie and steal and cheat and revel. You are not after the passions of the world. You are not wild with sports and following these things as pertaining to the flesh, as to the satisfying of the flesh. You won't do that because you are of God. You put all that behind you. That's death. That's forever gone and now you are a new creature that walks in holiness, dresses holy, talks holy, your conversation is in heaven. You don't care about the things of the world. You take to the spoiling of those things that you may have a better substance in heaven that's given to you of God. You let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus, who being made in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God. That is to say, you have the minds of Christ. You don't have the minds of the world, nor the desire of the world, nor anything in the world. You've cast down every thought to the extent that you brought into subjection to the obedience of Jesus Christ every thought to the mind of the Lord Jesus. All right. Everything that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God you've cast it down. So then, you are a new creature and as I say, when you look in the mirror you will see the one that is your enemy. You will see the most contrary person that you've ever seen. I've said this to you a number of times. Look in the mirror and you will find out what that outer you is like as comparing this outer man to the inner man. When the spirit looks at that it sees the body of vanity and the body of vanity is contrary. Paul said, There is a continual warfare between the body and the spirit and these are contrary one to another and what I would do I cannot do. He said, I find within me and the spiritual man a will and a desire. But in the outer man, as to the body, how to perform that I cannot find. He said, This out man is contrary to every thing the spiritual man wants to do as in God. Said, I can't find it. Once you are born again on the inside you'll notice the contrariness of this man. Now, before you are born again you don't know, you don't have any understanding, and God does not impute sin where there is no understanding. He's gracious to you until you can find out. But when you are born again then the man is revealed. Before you are born again you just do whatever comes to mind. There is no continual warfare. You don't have any problems. Whatever comes to you mind you go and do it. That's why I tell you a lot of times that people that are always doing the things of the flesh that don't seem to have any constrain, doesn't seem to have any problems, that them people don't have God. See? They don't have the cross up. They don't have this warfare. They don't have this heavy heart. They don't have this condemnation. It just isn't there and they can do anything they want to and it doesn't bother them at all because their conscience is seared. It's like with a hot iron. It doesn't bother them to do them, but if you are a person, you're like Lot. If you are a person of God, you're like Lot that was vexed by the evil conversation down in Sodom and Gomorrah. See? So the Bible said, That righteous man's soul was vexed from day to day. When you are like that there is something on the inside of you that is contrary to that that is on the inside because God is in your spirit and the devil as an angel, or a fallen angel, or a spirit is in your flesh and they are warring one against another and they are fighting over that body to get that body. Because they have to have a body as an angelic force to make manifest themselves within that body if they are going to be partakers of this tangible means of life as to this vanity of creation. All right. S0 when you go to the mirror, when you look in you will see a person that is contrary. I say so often, raise your right hand and he'll raise his left. If you'll blink your right eye he'll blink his left. You do anything you want to and whatever you want to do he'll do just exactly contrary to you. Whatever it is he'll do contrary to you, because he represents, as to a life of vanity, that that you see, represents your body which is so contrary to God and contrary to the Holy Spirit. In that you are in the world your body wants fame. It wants popularity. It wants prestige. It wants appearance. It wants money. It wants convenience. It wants to be a celebrity. It wants to be a dignitary. It wants to have, in this life a special kind of a thing. It wants to be a special kind of a person. It feel a little bit above others. It feels like there is just something about it that's a little more special than somebody else. See? That's the mind of the devil. The Bible said esteem other better than yourself. That's the mind of Christ. Wash you brother's feet. Serve your brother. That's the mind of Christ. Seek after the things of another and look for the welfare of another. That's the mind of Christ. Give yourself a living sacrifice unto God which is your reasonable service. Give it wholly unto God without reservation of heart. That is your reasonable service, the Bible says. So then, you are a contrary bunch of devils. When you are born into this world you are a contrary bunch of devils. From the time that you come into this world even as a little child, the Bible said, And the spirit of foolishness, a devil spirit, is bound in the heart of that child and the rod of correction will drive it for from him. And if you spare that child you spoil that child. If you'll beat that child you'll save his soul from hell. So then, we find that God has set a disciplinary way of life that leads us to Calvary. It leads us to Calvary. Steps that keep on leading me to dark Calvary. We're being led to Calvary as sheep lead to the slaughter. In this we are more than conquerors through him that loves us. If I am willing to give my body as a lamb to my sacrifice, that is to say, I am my own sacrifice to the extent that I have through the righteousness of God become the body of the Lamb, as members in particular, as bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, and therefore I yield up my being because Jesus died for me as my body going to Calvary. So I yield my body up as that that goes to Calvary, thus the body of the Lord Jesus has been sacrificed. I sacrifice my outer self for my inner self. And the Bible said, If a man seek to save his life, as to the outer self, he looses his life as to the world to come, as to eternal life in the inner self. And if He is willing to lose his life, as to the outer self, then he gains his life, as to the inner self, unto eternal life. So then, we see that the devil is in the human body from the time that you are born into the world. And even though as a baby God doesn't charge it against you. As a little infant He doesn't charge you with it, because where there is no knowledge of sin, sin is not imputed and you have to grow up. And when you grow up to a knowledge of knowing right and wrong then it's required of you. And if you should die as a little child, as we would say to a little child, if you should die before you come to the age of accountability then you would, someone said, you would do to heaven. You would not have to go to heaven; you are already in heaven. For the Bible says concerning the little ones, Forbid them not, and suffer them to come unto me, when the disciples tried to stop them for the Bible said, Of such is the Kingdom of God. He said, For I do say unto you that their angel, which means their inner spirit, it always beholds the face of My Father, which is in heaven. Or that is to say, the little innocent spirit, it has never come into the realm of accountability as entering into the body, as to have sin charged against him because it has never done any wrong in that God will not impute sin where there is on knowledge of sin. So the little spirit is innocent. It's never left the presence of the Father. Should it put off it's little tabernacle it is right there with God safe and sound. Just like some of you that are of the devil, it would be different with you if you come to the knowledge of the truth and then you put off your tabernacle, if you've not lived right, to subject that tabernacle then that means that you would be in hell. You would be with the devil as to wherever he would be. The rich man lifted up his eyes in hell immediately after death. I say, Put off the tabernacle, because Peter said, And the Lord has shown me that I must shortly put of my tabernacle. Which He could tell me today to do the same, or you to do the same, but Peter was fixing to put off his tabernacle. That is to say, The inner man said, Now, I'm different from this tabernacle. This thing is corrupt. This thing is a bastard child image. It's been killed in the sight of God. God has already done away with it. It's buried as to God and God never sees it anymore. I am now in His sight bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh and I'm going to put of this tabernacle now that's still around. Though it's dead in the sight of God, it's buried from the sight of God in this world here, as to the dust. And I'm going to put on the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. For if I have born the image of the earthly I will move out of this little tabernacle and I'll move into a heavenly tabernacle to bear the image of the heavenly, which is the body of the Lord Jesus, the second man Adam, even as I've born the image of the first man Adam. All right. So then, we see that what God has done for us has freed us from the body of this death. He has taken us from the body of this death and he has made us heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, children. And if we be children then are we partakers of the wonderful blessings of God. Having given us all things that pertain unto life, we are already Sons of God and we have already passed from death unto life. All right. So then, we see that what God is telling us is that we have come to the four hundred and eighty-three years. Four hundred and eighty-three years. Iniquity is gone. He hath made an end of sin. He hath made an end of iniquity by putting away the bastard child image out of His sight and sinful flesh. Now then, He hath translated your spirit into the marvelous spirit of Christ, which is the Kingdom of God in that it is in Christ and through Christ that God rules and gives us freely all things with Christ. So then, it's evident that He made an end of sin. He also made an end of iniquity and now we are four hundred and eighty-three years, we are on this side of it, and we are free from sin and we are free from iniquity, and the Bible said, He that is born of God cannot sin for the seed of God, even Christ Jesus the hope of glory, remaineth in you and you cannot sin because you are born of God. That is to say, he has sent His Son's spirit into our heart crying Abba, Father. And today we are already Sons and today we cannot sin because where these things are as to the remission of sin there is on more conscience of sin. Under the old covenant, Paul brings this out in Hebrews that under the old covenant that of the blood of bulls and goats could never make the comer thereunto perfect. And God finding fault with that covenant said, And in that day I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and I will take out the heart of stone and I will write upon your heart my laws. And I will cause you, constrain you to walk in my way of life, to walk in the things of God. I will constrain you to do that. I will write these upon your heart and I will put these in your mind. So then, we see that this is where we are at. We are now within the things of God. We are now born again. His Spirit is now within our mind, now within our heart. And so then, we are free from the body of death and we're free from the sins of Adam. And we are now in another body in the mind of God which is the spotless body. This body hath no sin. This body they could not find any fault, or that just man. I am bone of that bone and flesh of that flesh. I'm completely free from sin and as we say, there is only seven years left from this four eighty-three which is a heavenly dispensation between the four eighty-three, as Calvary, and the seven years which is the tribulation period. Being a heavenly it is the rent veil. It is the dividing. It is the severing of seven from four ninety, leaving four eighty-three as to one way and seven for another, being an heavenly episode, or that is, an open door in heaven. We have through Christ entered into heaven. The law and the prophets until John, since that time the Kingdom of God is here and men's spirit is translated into the spirit of Christ, or they press their way into the Kingdom. And we preach the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ the open door, as to baptism into His death for this wonderful remission of sin. We have to say so many multiplied things as to bring out the mystery of it. But anyway, as to going along with what we are trying to get over here, so we understand then we are free from sin. Where these things are as to this new covenant there is no more sin for in that, as unto the old covenant, back under the law beyond the four eighty-three, back during that time continually, always, it was that these things was brought to remembrance. Every seventh month and tenth day it was brought to remembrance as to sin, because the priest would go in and offer sin for atonement. And it would bring it back to God's remembrance, but with Jesus there is a difference in this High Priest. This High Priest offered Himself for an atonement once and for all to put away sin by His Own body, to make an end of sin in that sin came by a human body. When He did this He never has to do that again. The priest of old had to give an atonement for their priesthood, as to their sins and that over and over, but not Jesus. He liveth forever. If a priest died they had to have another priest. Their priesthood could not continue because of death, but this one made in order after that of Melchisedec is eternally and forever. We brought this out one time before here as to this. We've brought it out a number of times one time before to try to get over to you that as to this thing of Melchisedec. Having met him over in the valley of Shaveh, that is Abraham, he paid tithes and so did the Levitical Priesthood. The Levitical Priesthood paid tithes while it was yet in the loins of Abraham and Paul brings this out in his teachings in Hebrew seeing that there was nothing made mention of of our Lord as to the Levitical Priesthood and as to Judah. There is nothing made mention of as to the Priesthood and yet out of Judah it's very obvious the Bible said, And the lion of the tribe of judah, for out of Judah comes the Lord Jesus, as to the High Priest, Himself. Which has enter not as into a figurative thing as to a priest, but as entering into the very holies of holies itself, which is the heavenly things that is better than these that are of an earthly tabernacle, as to which you are admonished as to performances, or whatever, to those services. Which is, of course, a shadow of those things which were to come. So then, Jesus having entered into the very holies of holies Himself, the veil is now rent and you, being the body of the Lord Jesus, members in particular, now you are the high priest as to membership. So you can go into the holies of holies where those priests back there couldn't go into the holies of holies. They could go into the holy place, which was the second court, but they could not go into the holies of holies. Aaron, alone, thus signifying as to the Holy Ghost, could go in there and now you are one with the Holy Ghost. You are one with the Lord. You are the very body and bone of the Lord, which means you are the high priest, as to membership, interceding for the world, beseeching man to be reconciled unto God. You go right into the holies of holies and today, right here even at Bethlehem in the church, we're right here at the holies of holies. We're right here at the very holies of holies which means in the very innermost place with God Almighty, Himself. We've become as to the inner man interwoven with Christ, the High Priest. And outer we are dead by the body of the Lord, alive to the body of the resurrection of the new man. And today it is not us living, as that body that's rejected, but it is Christ living as that body which is received, even of God. So we see then that God has done a marvelous thing. He hath made us to be His Own body and made us equal with Him Own Self. For the Bible said every man that be perfect shall be as his master. No man shall be above his master, but every man that be perfect shall be as his master. And the Bible said, Having sanctified us once and for all by the offering up of the body of the Lord Jesus He hath thus perfected us forever by His Own works and righteousness in that He sanctified us once and for all. So then, today we are made perfect before God. And I say this again, Lot of people say there is no perfect people, you know, there is no perfect folks. And I know that as to our stumblings and staggerings we would if we were actually weighted in the balances by people, or their mind, as to their improper evaluation we'd be full of faults and errors. But in that God doesn't judge that way He judges us according to Christ. You cannot lay anything to the charge of God's elect, they are completely without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish. They keep themselves and the evil one touch them not. The Bible said they are sealed, inwardly speaking, by the wonderful Holy Spirit until the day of the redemption as to the change of that body that they may be as in that time of the coming of the Lord, Thessalonians change, the marvelous body of Almighty God. All right. So then, we see that we are now close to the end time and the revelation is being made known and the mysteries are being made finished. So we can understand what is said, as to the end of sin. There is no such thing as sin to a Christian. The Bible says, He that sinneth is of the devil for the devil sinneth from the beginning. Someone would say, Well, Brother Pike, I am convinced that I sin everyday. Well, than if you are, with all reverence and respect, I am convinced that you are of the devil. Let's give the Lord a hand. Because he that sinneth is of the devil. The devil sinneth from the beginning. He that is born of God cannot sin, not because he is good of himself, not because he has special ability of himself, but because God hath taken away his sin. God allowed his sins to come by God creating mankind. Otherwise, there would have been no man and no sin. God came and took away man's sins. As sin by one man, righteousness came by one man and God thus done away with the sins by one man, even as he let sin come upon all by one man. And those that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam was still under sin. So then, we that have not lived righteously after the manner of the Lord Jesus, He hath thus saved us while we were yet in our sins and imputed this unto us as righteousness, even our faith in His righteousness that when we do come to the knowledge of God we accept God and His righteousness that we might be His. And after that we do all we can to conform to His way of life and to love him and to put this body down and let Him know that we hate this old bastard child. And the Bible said He that cometh to God he must hate his own life, and if he hates not his own life he cannot be My disciple, because his life is of worm and his life is of ambition of the flesh (Begin tape two, side one.) and his life is of the devil. And Satan savors the things that be of this world even the life of this world. And that life is passed away by Jesus Christ. The life I now live I live as to the eternal life and that by the Son of God, as to holiness and righteousness unto God. Let's give the Lord a hand, can we? All right. I'm going to close in just a few minutes now. There's a lot we'd like to say, but we can't get around to it. So then, the end of the world. You are the people upon whom the ends of the world have come, Peter said, because he recognized this thing. He realized that four hundred and eighty-three years and that was it. So, the Jews going out of the presence of God during this church age period as the open door during this time this door as to four eighty-three and seven, during this time. I sure hope that the next time we have somebody in the balcony up there they'll get over their little jealous spell and get over their foolishness and stop interfering because they've done it through the whole service. But anyway, as through this we can understand that the four eighty-three and the seven, we can see that with this that open door that God doesn't count time. From the four eighty-three to the seven, He doesn't count time. Anytime it is an heavenly episode, anytime it is an heavenly order then that means that time is never counted. Time is never counted. See? From four eighty-three over to the seven time is not counted. Because the end of time is when that seven years fastens itself back to the four eighty-three and God only counts time in an earthly perspective because time, in heaven there is no such thing as time. As a matter-of-fact to give you an illustration of that, if I am on earth I count time as to one hour and two hours and three, and on until it's dark. And then I count the hours of darkness until one, two, three and on until it's light. See? And this is a continual thing with me. But if I rise above this world and I get up to where the sunlight is, I'm out of the shadows of this world and I do not count time because, as to that up there, I'm up there in a place to where the sun is, and I'm up there where the light is and I do not see the sun go up and the sun go down because I am up there with the light. All the time I am where the light is and nothing can get between me and the light, as to the earth going around and put me on the side away from the light. We've traveled, Betty and I have traveled from here overseas and we would travel from sunlight to sunlight as to do away with almost all of the night. As Jimmy was telling me the other day, they've got something that will travel so fast, I believe a man said he saw the sun go, in one day, come up and down four different times. But anyway, I'm saying that time is reckoned for as daylight and dark. With God there is no such thing as time. So then, you've got a natural allegory as to your natural heavens as getting up there out of the shadows. See? That means that so far as you and I are concerned we are in heaven. We are not time creatures. There is a time to be born, there is a time to die. I did not have a time to be born in God. I was before the world ever was, and in Christ, as to the loins of my Father. I am, I was, and forever shall be, even from everlasting to everlasting. So there is no such thing as time with me. I'm already eternal. I've already passed from death unto life. You, in your skepticism, you look at my natural frame and you reason according to your condition of ignorance as to science, knowledge falsely so-called. And you look on the flesh, but that's because you are ignorant and don't understand. And Paul said, I would not have you ignorant. But you, in doing that, classify me as that that will go into the grave. See? But you are ignorant and you don't understand. We have mercy on you because of that. But you that are born of God that do not judge after the flesh, knowing that the body is dead you look beyond that and you see the angelic being, the spiritual man, as in heaven all are equal with the angels and the angels cannot die. We've passed from death unto life. Angels cannot die. God will even have to destroy the devil and his angels because they cannot die. Human beings die and to us, death, what is death? Death is to us as to sleep. Sleep. As to real death God can put an angel to death by destruction, as to separate Himself from a fallen angel. So then, that means that if God separated Himself as the spirit of life from my spirit then would my spirit be dead. But according to the Bible that is the Lake of Fire where we're separated from God, called the second death and the only death. But the first, as you call it, is a sleep where your body separates from your spirit. That is only a sleep and your spirit will re-enter into your body at a certain time and you will be resurrected and changed should you go by way of the grave and the Lord comes back before you die, then you'll be changed right here. You won't go by way of the grave. And you will be changed into a Celestial body because there is a terrestrial, there is a Celestial. There is an earthly, there is a heavenly. All right. So then, we see that this old body we think so much of is of the devil and it should be despised and put down. You should hate it and hate life in this world because it's all corruptible and of the devil and you should be seeking the life of Christ and the holy living of Christ and God's way, and the body of Christ that you might be eternal. If you do not come to the new birth then that means you will go to hell and your body will perish and it will be as the worm in the fire where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched. All right. I'm going to close in just a few minutes. If you'd stop trying to make me close before I get through I'd appreciate it, and then that way we'll close when we get through and that way everything will be fine. You spirits interfere because they are angels and they interfere with the mind of God. If you have to go you are excused. It's okay. Now. So then, we find out that as to the end of the world as from the four eighty-three to the seven there is no time. There is no such thing as time. That's why we sing the song, And Time Shall Be No More. See? There is no such thing as time, but just as soon as the seven years come back into view then that means that time will start again. And within the radius of four hundred and ninety years that ends the world. From five hundred years before Calvary there was only four hundred and ninety years remaining as to bring the end of time. And when the seven years come back in then that will start time again and it will bring the end of time. And toward the middle of that week, after three and a half years of the prophets tutoring, when the three and a half years comes in then the angel will set one foot on the sea and one on the land as to say, times, time and dividing of times. And he will declare that time is no more and the angel will sound as to the last trumpet as to the last opening of the seals and to bring out the last seven vials of the wrath of God. And in that trumpet the seven last vials will come and then as to that woe that brought those seven vials everything will be over. War in heaven, the expulsion of Lucifer, and many things that we could say, but it will seal up the vision, or be the end of the vision then in the four hundred and ninety years and it will anoint the most holy, which means bring in the tabernacle of God, the temple of God in the earth, as to anoint, which temple we are, as to the change. The change as from a tabernacle of intellectual wilderness to a temple of the mind of radiance as to the mind of Christ which is heaven. As to a mind, that's what it is, earthly, or a mind as that's what it is as to heavenly. Such as they that are earthly, such as they that are heavenly. And so then, to anoint the most holy, even the Lord Jesus Himself, as to Kingship. And we could go on and go on and go on saying things about this but I've tried to drop in these few little things that you might have it on tape and that you might listen, to know that he that is born of God cannot sin, that where these things are there is on conscience of sin. Soon the seven will come back to the four eighty-three and the door in heaven will then be closed and that will be the end of the days of the Gentiles which is coming on as toward the middle of the week. It will bring it to a complete halt as to the blood coming off of the Seat of Atonement and at that time those vials being thrown into the earth, and the bombing and all that, or the vial, and all those kind of things. The four winds as to the third world war which it's building up to right now. I remind you again, that it's in first part of the week there that the Church goes out. And the middle part of the week winds things up for the Gentiles. The first part of the week the Jews are sealed. In Revelation 6, the opening of the sixth seal, which is projected of the seventh seal and then the wars come in the eighty seal, as to the turbulence. So then, we see everything is at an end. And the Bible said seeing that these things are at an end what manner of person ought we to be in all holy conversation looking unto and hastening unto the coming of the Lord. For they that love My appearing He shall arise with healing in His wings. Let's stand together. I want to say again we appreciate you coming out to be with us. If there is anything we can do to help you in any way we'll be delighted to do it. We pray for you. I've prayed enough prayers for the people of Monroe, not just Bethlehem, but of Monroe and of the whole world that they could be converted over night. Not only that. I cannot pray for people that are in the grave. There is no such thing as purgatory and all this foolishness of praying for people that's gone on. But I pray. I have prayed for people that have already passed on before they passed on, of my loved ones and your loved ones, and I've prayed for you that when you pass on that when you pull off the tabernacle you might find yourself in that radiance of God's glory, in that it's just a sleep, as to a change of garments. But I have prayed, not only for Monroe and for the world, as to the people of today, but I've prayed numbers of times for all humanity that will ever be born into the world. I prayed Father to heal them, and Father to save them, and Father to program their minds. and Father to help them, and Father to guide them. All that will ever be born into the world I've already prayed for them numbers of times before they are born that God should help them, lead them, and guide them. I've prayed for the Papacy of Rome and the Queens and the Kings and the leaders for the Bible said prayer should be offered for them that God should program their hearts that they should understand. But as to whatever in Christ Jesus before the world ever was we were with Him and in His prayers when we prayed as one in Him for all of them that God has given us. Now, let's sing a little chorus together, can we? I trust that you will be back to be with us tonight. The end is coming fast. If you've not confirmed your reservation, as to being caught away with God, you need to confirm your reservation. Whatever it is, if you've made reservations you need to get a confirmation of those reservations that you might be ready at that time, because as a snare shall it come upon all of them that dwell upon the earth. And if you don't have a confirmation then that means that you will be lost, for it shall be in an hour when you think not, as to the unexpected. Two in the field, one taken and one left. Two in the bed, one taken and one left, or two grinding at the mill, one taken and one left. As in an hour that you think not, be also ready for in an hour you think not the Son of Man cometh. Let's sing this little chorus together, Brother Taylor. (Sings Come Unto Me.) Let's sing this little chorus. The altars are open and your welcome to come if you will. (Sings He Was Here All The Time.) Sing that with me. (Continues singing.) Let's sing this little chorus together. Well, let's sing another one if I can't find the key on that one. Now. Now's the time to search your heart. The Bible said examine yourselves and see if you be in the faith. You know, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God and you may have a conviction as to old wives fables, or it might just be that you have a conviction of your own feels, or as to a conviction as to what you think, but what you need to do is pray and ask God to give you understanding that you may have a conviction and that conviction as being in the faith, that faith by the hearing by the Word of God. All right. Let's sing together again. (Sings Come Into My Heart.) The altars are open. Maybe all of us need to come down to the altar today. It wouldn't hurt. Things are getting so close. It wouldn't hurt. Some of you are in a backslidden condition, and some of you are just playing games with God, coming to church whenever you take a notion and then when you are out you are doing the things of the world, going places you ought not to go, doing things you ought not to do. You really need to come to the altar. It's a bad situation that some of you are in, but I can't do anything about it. I've told you the way and when you come to the knowledge of the truth then that means that God's going to cut you off, let you believe a lie and be damned and cut you off, because once you come to the knowledge of the truth and then you go back out into the world then He'll cut you off and you'll believe a lie and be damned. You'll believe that you are all right. Like someone that went to a person not too long ago that's drinking, that's full of frolic and full of passions and everything, as to worldliness, just even to the extent that he's made his life a garbage can, yet he told them that he was more convince that he was saved than ever before. And you're going to keep on doing those things until finally you are going to get convinced that everything is all right and you're doing the things that you are doing, that we warned you against and told you not to do, as to your flesh. I tell you again you don't have to kill, you don't have to murder somebody, you don't have to be s thief. When you esteem yourself in your body you are not born again. Self esteem is absolutely non birth, as to the new birth. And when you esteem yourself, the Bible said we should esteem others and that very highly for their works sake, if they are worth of double honor give them double honor, in that they labor in the Lord. And to esteeming self it proves that you are not born again. Self esteem is always Satan. He esteems self. Others esteem, those that love the Lord, others above themselves. And this is the way with the Lord. This is the right way with the Lord. All the time I'm talking up here I'm running into spirits and minds all the time. That's why I stop and start and stop and start. See? Because your angelic being is contrary to God and your mind is contrary to God and when I'm preaching and I'm thinking along these lines, and the Lord so tender, trying to express Himself, you're strong spirited and you are set in your ways and you are like a concrete wall. You are there and your thoughts automatically hinder this tender, dove like moving of God, and you are the enemy of God. That's why the Bible said to be carnally minded is death. It is cut off from life, the spirit of life, and it is cut off from God and therefore your thoughts are at enmity with Him all the time. All you have to do is just stand there and when you are thinking you are at enmity with Him all the time, because he is a spirit and God weigheth the spirit and like Brother Branham said one time, you're thoughts speak louder in heaven than your deeds do on this earth. And so they are constantly running into the mind of Almighty God. That's why I tell you not to read the books you read. And not to look at the things you look at on T.V. And not to notice the signboards that you notice and not to notice each other as to the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, and not to look on the things of another, as to covet the things of another. So then, in that you do all these things to give your ears and eyes, your human senses to your surroundings, in that you do this, it means that you are at enmity with God, because that genders thoughts and those thoughts are at enmity with God and the Bible has commanded you to cast down imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and to bring into captivity to the obedience of Jesus Christ every thought. Every thought. All right. We're going to pray for the Sister here. She might get tired of just standing. Let's just lift our hands together. Let's just pray for her that God would touch her. Father, God of Heaven, we ask that your blessings be upon this Sister. Lord, you said you would fulfill the number of our years and God, you would bring us to a full shock. And God even at the age of Moses his eyes had not waxed dim and neither was the sources of his body gone, even the natural sources. Therefore, Father, it is of you that we should have life. It is of you that we should have strength for you said our strength would be as our day and dear, wonderful God, we thank you for strength and for blessings. May Thy blessings be upon this Sister, Father, to heal, to forgive, to save, to lead, to guide, Oh, God! To fill with Your spirit and to make whole, even this morning. I feel You doing that right now, to heal, heal and make whole in Jesus' lovely name. I can feel the presence of God as we pray for our Sister. Let's sing another chorus together, can we? (Sings Without Him.) Can you sing that with me? (Continues singing.) Sing it with me. (Sings Don't Turn Him Away, Standing Somewhere In The Shadow and Supper Time.) Let's try, key of D, is it? ( Sings The Hills of Home. Begin tape two, side two.) Let's sing this little chorus, can we? (Sings I Thee For The Valley and Where Will You Be.) Sing that with me. (Continues singing.) Let's sing this little chorus. (Sings Is That The Lights Of Home.) One more time together. (Continues singing..) One more time. (Continues singing.) Can we give the Lord a hand? Can you lift your hands up and close your eyes? (Sings Thank The Lord For His Marvelous Grace.) Can you give Him a wave offering? (Continues singing.) Can you sing it with me? (Continues singing) Somebody say Hallelujah! Let's lift our hand and close our eyes and sing this little chorus together. (Sings I Will Praise Him.) CAn we sing it again? (Continues singing.) I think I'm going to ask Brother James Dokes to come up and dismiss us if James will. (Continues singing.) Once again as James comes. (Continues singing.)
