No Conscience Of Sin

It has been for quite a number of years now that the weather has been up and down, and it's been a continuation of problems, but the Bible says before the coming of the Lord, as to the end time, that the seas will be raging, there will be the raging of the waters of the seas. Everything will be out of system, because Lucifer reigns in the earth. And being the Prince of the powers of the world he's got everything in a bad situation. It's kind of like Brother Howard was talking the other day about somebody that's going to fly a plane that don't know what they're doing. Like a friend of mine, I've said this to you a number of time as pertaining to Brother David Allen. He said one of the worst things that he knew of was just getting a little knowledge. He said, To me a little knowledge is worse than just having no knowledge at all. And he demonstrated by saying, or illustrated rather, by saying that if you have enough knowledge to get a plane up in the air and you don't have enough knowledge to get it down you'd have been better off without the first part of the knowledge. That makes good sense, don't it? So that's the way it is. You know, the devil is a know all, and he don't know nothing. He's ignorant from the start. And he's trying to run something that he doesn't know anything about. God made it and the devil stole it and he's tried to handle it, and it is to me as it was in the days of Eli when the Philistines took the Ark of the Covenant. They stole it away from the children of Israel and then after they got it they didn't know what to do with it. They tried to worship it, but they did not know the laws of worship as to the Ark of the Covenant, and the thing worked in reverse for them. And instead of the blessings they received the curse. And that's what's wrong with the world. The world today has taken the Ark of the Covenant. The Bible said, And the law and the prophets until John, since that time the Kingdom of God has been preached. So it's been here in the world, and this Kingdom of God has suffered violence at the hands of men. And of course, they've taken it and they've turned it into colleges and schools, and everything that they can think of. They have made it as to their own liking and tried to incorporate it within their lifestyle, as to make it relate to them rather that surrendering and relating to it. And that means that there's problems. So then, it doesn't fit any of their fancies so it is working in reverse There is cancer, and there is all kind of diseases. And you can read about it in the twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy where he told them, And all these curses shall come upon thee. All of the curses as to these horrible hideous things that's recorded in the Bible, or in the books of this law. And He said, Not only that, but He said all of that that is not recorded in the book of this law it shall overtake thee. So it's very obvious that that is what they've done. They've got hospitals filled up, and everything is topsy-turvy and they don't know what to do about it. But we do. The Bible said, And the government shall be upon the shoulders of the Sons of God, and we know what to do about it, and all of the world is travailing. It's in great travail, because of Satan's foolishness. And the Bible said, And it is waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God. Or that is, as to the Sons of God coming on the scene, in that they are the controlling powers to the government and they know exactly what to do, and what to say to control the kingdom forever and ever. Even the kingdoms of this world. We already have the kingdom of heaven within us, but the Bible said, And the kingdoms of this world shall become the Kingdoms of our God and His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. And of course, this had to do with the thing that was at Eden when the little flag from Bethlehem was sent to Mr. Reagan when he received it so wonderfully, and responded when he wrote back to us as to say that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our God, and of His Christ. And immediately following Mr. Reagan went out of office and Mr. Bush came in as to the new order. Old glory having departed, as to Ichabod wrote across the door. And as they took the flag up to the moon, so it showed that it was gone. All right. We're glad to be here tonight. This morning we were talking about some things. It was very difficult to say a lot, but we did say a few little things this morning. There are so many wonderful things. So many wonderful things of God, and I like to talk about them. And I have to admit that I like the deep things of God. I like the deep things. Launch out into the deep. My life, as to my fellowship with God has been, as to the deep mysteries of the Lord Jesus. And though I've mention many hundreds of things to you there is many, many things that I've never had a chance to mention, or detail to you. And I live off of these things everyday. Many times, I'm fortunate, maybe Betty and I will be out on the road and I'll get to mention some things to her as to the travel. But then there are a lot of things I've never been able to make mention of to Betty. Paul spoke of his much revelation. He said. There was given unto me a thorn in the flesh, even the messenger of Satan to buffet me lest I be exalted beyond measure because of my much revelation. And you can be sure that as you increase in the understanding of God, and the blessings of God, Satan is going to increase in strength to war against you. Light is revealed by darkness, and without darkness you would never see light. It's like scientists say, you cannot see light. There is no way that even your natural eyes can see light. Therefore there has to be a contrast, and as to light being revealed then it takes the shadows of darkness. That's why David used the terms, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Or that is to say the Holy Ghost and the Word of God, as to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, as to the rod and the staff. And as to this world being a valley filled with shadows, as to looking down from the mountain tops of glory, as to the evil of those shadows even Lucifer. But David said, My heart is fixed, evil tidings shall not trouble me, nothing shall offend me, for I walk through this valley of the shadow of Satan that is death to the people, but I shall not fear the evil. I want to read from chapter 10. If you've got you Bibles you can read with me. Let's begin at the first verse. (Reads Hebrews, chapter 10, verses 1-23.) The Bible says not one good promise of the Heavenly Father has ever failed. For I will not alter the thing that has gone out of my mouth, neither will I change it. I will hasten to perform my Word. I will watch over my Word to perform my Word. And my Word shall accomplish that that I please and prosper in that where unto I have sent it. So, we know that there is only one thing that is lacking in a man's life, and that is faith in the Word of God. Faith in the Word of God. When you believe the Word of God you don't have anything to worry about, because if you believe the Word of God, the Word of God will take care of everything. In the beginning was the Word. I was trying to explain a few little things in detail this morning, as to the fact that this Word, which is spirit and life that comes into our heart, that this Word of spirit and life is the Word of faith. And that as long as we walk with a clear conscience that this faith will work. And if we do not have a clear conscience this faith will not work. You know, I marvel as I travel around the world and through observation I kind of scrutinize a little bit. I watch the people, and I see the church world, and I see such great failure in the church world. And I see people that are so disturbed, and they feel like God's promises are not for today, and they feel like things just won't work for today. And they say, O God! as Israel did, wherefore have we fasted and thou takest no knowledge? Lord, we've prayed and You won't hear us. And so then, we look at God, as to say, Thy ways are unjust. He said, My ways are not unjust. Your ways are unjust. And He said, I've not come short of my promise. My hand is not short that it cannot reach thee. Nor is my ear dull that it doesn't hear you when you pray. He said, But thine iniquities have separated between thee and thy God. That is your bodily activities, as relating to the things of the world, to the vanities, to the body of iniquity. And He said that's where the problem is. And He said, because of this He said that your iniquities have kept thee back from great and wonderful things. He said, Ask of me and I shall show thee great and mighty things that ye know not. So then, I found out that when my iniquities are taken out of the way, when my sins are no more then God hears me. I'm not able to do away with my iniquities. And I'm not able to do away with my sins. Neither am I trying to do that. Christ took away my iniquities at Calvary when He done away with the body. They bodily iniquity is no more. And Messiah shall come, the prophet said, and He shall make an end of sin. And He came and He made an end of sin. And He folded up the law and laid it away. And in folding up the law and laying it away then, I remind you, that was the end of sin, for sin is the transgression of the law. And where there is no law there is no transgression. And where there is no transgression there is no sin. And if we are dead to the law by the body of the Lord Jesus then it's not us that lives, but it is Christ that lives within us and He hath never at anytime transgressed the law, but He has fulfilled the law. He said, Think not that I have come to take the law away, or to change the law. He said, Not one jot or tittle of the law shall pass away until all be fulfilled. He said, I did not come to destroy the law, but I came to fulfill the law. And so He fulfilled every jot and tittle, and thus the law passed away. And so then, the law is passed away now and the law is gone. And ye are not under the law, but ye are under grace. Howbeit, if you are fallen from grace, then are ye under the law. But the law is to them that can believe in Christ, and them that believe in the righteousness of Christ and in the crucifixion of Christ.?Then is the law folded up and laid away, and the righteousness of the law is fulfilled within you, and within me. See? Christ was the fulfillment of the law to everybody that believes. Paul said, In Christ is the end of the law for everyone that can believe. So then, the law is gone. The law is folded up. The law is laid away. God is satisfied with the law. The Son of God said, Heavenly Father, it is finished. I finished it. I folded it all up and laid it all away. That is, all the way down from the expulsion in the Garden, down to Calvary I've kept every jot and tittle. Everything that you told Moses to do that he could not do, everything that you told others to do that they could not do, I have done it. And I folded it up and laid it away, and I am now the master. And I am now in charge. And it is not what the law says anymore. I am the master of the law. I have mastered it, and now I am the King, and I am the master and I'm in charge. And whatever I say, that's the way it will be. And the Lord, I AM, the God of Heaven, as to the great Spirit, said unto our Lord, Say what you will. Command thou me concerning the works of my hands. And so then, He says to God Almighty, George Pike shall not die. And He says, Frank Taylor shall not die because they believe on me. And He said, as concerning the rest, He said, And Father, I pray for these. And He said, I've not lost a one of them saving the Son of Perdition. I will raise them all up in the last day. And He said, I prayed for you, Peter, that though you curse, though you deny me, though you do these things, that somewhere down the line you'll repent. And I pray that your faith fail you not. I say again, his works had already failed. But Peter, have enough confidence in Me, that I've got mercy, as to sufficiency as to your cause. And so then, the law is folded up and laid away, and I'm free from the law today. So then, being free from the law Christ has within me fulfilled the law in that He is the fulfillment of the law, and I now have Christ, and Christ the hope of that glory, in that as I say so often, He alone was made heir to the glory of God, and not as unto seeds of many, Abraham, but as to seeds of one. Even in Isaac shall the seed be called. So when the time of the promise drew near, as to say the promise that came, or the promised Son, or to the seed as to whom the promise was made. Then it was fulfilled that my Son is on the scene. And now my Son shall do the talking and he'll be the tutorer. And I have spoke to you in time past, He said, by the law and the prophets, but from now on I will speak to you through the Word, as to my Son. And they shall all be taught of God. So then, we find that even the little babes, as Jesus went into the temple, even the little babes praised Him, and the Pharisees and Scribes as to their indignation was all upset because, you know, here we're great men and we study, and we're scholars and out of college, as we would say in this day, and these little old upstarts here, what is this that they wanted to drive them away. And Jesus confounded them by saying, Have you never read that out of the mouths of sucklings and of babes that God has perfected praise? So then, He hid this from the eyes of the wise and the prudent, and He made it revelation, or revealed it to unto babes such as are willing to learn. I say again then, we are babes to the intellectual world because they are great and mighty in their scientific, falsely so-called, way. But the thing is, we have God and we have all knowledge because it's given to us to understand all things. Don't ever let a minister, or someone, come around and say, Well, there is a lot of things that God don't want you to know. He's a liar. I said, He's a liar. Don't you listen to anybody like that. And always remember one thing. The Bible says that we have an unction from the Holy One that we should know all things. And Jesus said, What my Father has made known to unto me I have made known unto you. And he said, Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. Of course, that mind that knoweth all things. And whatever you are willing to receive and learn, or understand, Brethren, it's freely given to you because God is no respect of persons, and He gives freely to all that comes unto Him. I've received in my life time many thousands, and tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of things from God. I don't have to try store it in my brain as somebody would, as to an intellectual approach. I store it in my heart and I have, as the computer, a memory bank. And in that memory bank, as to the mind of Christ, all things are made known unto me. So then, as to whatever I will allow as to the mind of Christ, as to the proportion, or as to the measure coming from within the mind of Christ into my bodily genetics whatever I make allowance for thus that is what I am as to the outer man. So then, from glory to glory we continue on to do these wonderful things of God, to know these wonderful mysteries of God, and to feed from the heavenly source. You know, when I first started in the ministry I had so many people say, Well, you know, you just have to be careful. You just have to be careful because there's a lot of things that God doesn't want you to know. And it scared me because I was a young minister, and I didn't really know. I thought, My God! you know, I better not over do it. I better be careful now. But one day God spoke to me and said, That's lying vanities. That's wrong. He said, Son, I want you to cast down imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity every thought of your life to the obedience of Jesus Christ. And it be not you that living, but Christ living within you. And said, Satan is only lying to you and that through the mind of vanity to where he can control your body, or keep tab on you, as we say, so that he can rule over you and use your body to get out of the dry places so that he won't be tormented. He said, You be full of My Spirit, be full of my Word. Meditate in My Word day and night. As He said to Joshua, Don't ever let these things leave. As He said to Israel, Make them as frontlets upon thine eyes. Write them over thy door posts. So then, I've come to realize that God wants us to know all things. And why not let us know all things? Aren't we Gods? Hasn't God made us Gods. He you know that even Lucifer, himself, understood that we were to be Gods. Even he knew that. Do you know why Lucifer knew that? Because he was a god, too. Lucifer is a great and mighty god, but he's not to be compared to our God. Though he's a greatest god of all as to the earth, yet he's no comparison for our God, even the Lord Jesus Christ who is the master of all masters, the Lord of all Lords, and the King of all Kinds. And so then, we are Gods. I remind you so often, we are Gods. Not men. Not men. I say that for this reason. The Bible said it's appointed unto man once to die, and after that the judgment, which means no man will get past death. No man can see God and live. No man can get past death, because it's appointed unto man once to die. He must die at least one time, because he is sinful. He is born in to sin. In iniquity did my mother conceive me, and it is a body of iniquity, and you are born into sin, therefore you must die to sin, and you must die to the world, because you are a transgressor of God's ways. You are a transgressor of God's form of life. You are a transgressor of the law, and therefore you are a sinner, and the penalty of sin as saith the law, then you must die. And so God, being so compassionate, knowing that we were not able to face such a situation, and looking down and pitting us like children, He stepped in between me and the law and took my punishment, and raised His hands up to Calvary saying, Heavenly Father, I do this for Brother Pike. I do this for the people. And I pray for them. I pray for them. So then, His prayers cannot fail. He prayed until His sweat become as great drops of blood. And He stepped between the law and me, and he went to Calvary and today He still stands between me and God's wrath. And I'm free by the law today. I don't know what that does to you, but that does something to me. See? He that is born of God cannot sin. I know you might say, Well, I don't know how to take that, because I've never heard that. I've never heard it either. Never in all my traveling around the world, never in all the ministering I've ever heard, I've never heard it in all of my life. But the thing is that's what the Bible says, and that's what God told me. And the Bible said, He that God sendeth will speak God's Word. John said, He that is born of God he cannot sin. It didn't say maybe he won't sin, or if he holds on he'll do all right. It said, He that is born of God He cannot sin, for the seed of God remaineth in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God. And I said, Lord, how can that be? How can that be? And the Lord spoke very clearly. Said, For sin is the transgression of the law, and where there is no law there is no transgression, and where there is no transgression there is no sin, and where there is no sin there is no death, because the sting of death is sin, and sin is gone. Therefore, death hath no stinger. O death, where is thy sting? and grave where is thy victory? God plucked out the stinger at Calvary so there is no sting of death. What was the sting of death. Paul said, That that was ordained unto life I found to be unto death, even the law, for sin gets it strength by the law. So the strength of that which is the sting as to death, that which is the sting of death Jesus took it out of the way. He folded up the law, took it out of the way. He fulfilled the law and therefore there's no more transgression for you and I, because we are dead to the law, and by the body of Jesus it's gone. That's why the Bible tells us that we should consider our bodies to be dead indeed unto sin by Calvary. We are dead to the law by the body of Jesus. We are dead to the world by the body of Jesus. It is no more I that liveth but the sinless one that now lives. Being bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, then we have become the sinless one through God. That's why I read to you here as to the shadows here. It says, And God hath perfected forever them that are sanctified having sanctified them once and for all by the offering up of the body of the Lord Jesus at Calvary. So then, Christ sanctified us. God offering the Lamb in the evening time of life, as to show us that of the great altar of the Old Testament when the lamb was offered up Jesus, without spot, without wrinkle, without blemish, took away our sins at Calvary. He done away with the bastard child image as to the first birth, that which God said I despise. And he done away with your life, as to your natural way of life. And he brought to light at Calvary immortality. For the Bible said, And at Calvary He brought to light, He brought to the understanding immortality. Today we have immortality. Though the change has not taken place as to your body, as of yet, in your mind, as to your sight, but as to God all of these things where given to us in Christ before the world ever was. And so all of this was wrought in Christ as Jesus said, Father, restore unto me the joys I had with Thee before the world ever was. Or that is to say, I was with God before the world ever was for I am the body and bone of the Lord Jesus Christ. Members in particular, the Bible said, as to the church. All right. So then, it's understood that we are the body of the Lord. If the body of the Lord__ Does the body of the Lord then have sin? Can the body of the Lord sin? Wasn't it said, And I find no fault in this just man? Someone would say, Well, I know, Brother Pike, that I do things that's not like they should be. Everybody does. David said, My ways don't please Thee, Father. He said, But my heart is perfect with Thee. So then, our ways doesn't please God, because we're under the pressures and the things of this world. And Satan is constantly trying to press the mind of humanity and trample it down, so it causes us to falter, and it causes us to err. And like the little child we stumble about trying to get our bearings to grow up, to have strength to resist. See? But the thing is that has nothing to do with my salvation. As long as I do what's right to the best of my ability out of my heart with God desire all of my stumblings, all of my faults, are gone and there is never one of them that's ever charged against me. That's why the Bible said to wit that God was in Christ reconciling the world back to Himself not imputing their trespasses unto them. Father, forgive us our trespasses. If Jesus is the master all we've got to do is go to Jesus, our High Priest, for He has already sufficed God in our behalf. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith, which is in His righteousness, and His finished works at Calvary that folded up the law and laid it away that the righteousness of the law, even Christ Himself, the fulfiller of the law might be alive in our heart as to this life, for the Bible said the life is in the Son. And he that hath the Son hath life, and if you don't have the Son you don't have any life in you because the life is in the Son. So then, Christ in you the hope of that glory of that eternal life. Now, since we know this then we are no more children of bondage. Why be ye entangled again, Paul said, to the beggarly elements of this world, or be subjected to those things as to vanity? Do you desire again to be in bondage? Why then do you look in that direction? Why then do you allow Satan to take control of your faith that he might hinder you in your walk with God? Why do you do that? See? I settled it in my heart. By faith I belong to God. As Paul said through the revelation when he spoke to Peter, he said, And I blamed Peter to his face because Peter was to be blamed. He said, For they that came up as from James, or his home, his place, he said, These came up and Peter withdrew. (Begin tape one, side two.) And even though Peter had walked with the Lord Jesus, yet he had cursed, he had denied, and here he was having problems again. And Paul blamed him to his face and said, Peter, I'm not going to frustrate the grace of God. He said, O foolish Galatians! Who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth of God before whose eyes Jesus Christ evidently set forth and crucified. He said, If righteousness be by the law then Jesus Christ died in vain, because we already have the law as to that which was given through our fathers. I'm not going to frustrate the grace of God. He said, Are you so foolish having begun in the spirit, as to by faith, now you feel that you are made perfect by your works, or by the deeds of the law, and he refused to have that. And I feel the same way. I'm not going to frustrate the grace of God. I'm not going to frustrate the grace of God as to listening to an intellectual dispute with the devil, or with the carnal mind, or they that belong to the devil, as to try to tell me as to dos and don'ts and ritualistics in this world. I am dead to the law, as to transgression. My body is dead, and my body is gone, therefore my body cannot transgress. Therefore I cannot sin; that's utterly impossible. He that is born of God cannot sin; that is impossible for him to sin. So then, I am free from the law. I stumble, I stagger, I make mistakes, but I never do any of those things as to the best of my ability with my desire, or with an longing, or any kind of effort toward that as to my knowledge, and as to a will behind that. I don't do that. So then, I'm saved. I cannot do that because I have the spirit of Christ on the inside of me, and it has sealed my spirit to where without spot wrinkle or blemish I go from year to year. I cannot do those things. I cannot sin against God because he has made it so that I cannot sin against God. Like the prodigal that came and said, Father, I've sinned against heaven and I've sinned against you. That is true. If God checked up on us, as to our bodily stumblings, then it would be sin, because in the world it is sin. But the difference is; there is a will behind it in the world, there is a desire behind it in the world, and there is no will in it in our hearts, and there is no desire. And the Bible said where these things are there is not even a conscience of sin. And this is what Paul is speaking of, as under the law there was still a conscience of sin even with the priest that offered up those things, because the Holy Spirit had not gone into his heart to do away with the conscience of sin. But when the body of Jesus was offered up Christ's spirit went into me. My body then being dead then God fore-seeing me as to over the chasm of this valley of the shadows out to the end of the Thessalonian change He sees me as His Own body, as the body of His Son. And He sees me as a celestial body, and the incorruptible being that Christ is in God. All right. So then, what is this great thing that He hath done for us? We are children of God. Someone would say, Well, Brother Pike, what I'm trying to do, and I've heard testimonies like this a lot of times, and I'm not critical. We're all growing. But I hear the testimony, and they say, Well, I'm doing the best I can. I'm coming along. I'm holding on. I'm going to try to hold on to the end. The Bible does say that if you endure to the end the same shall be saved. But on the other hand, the only ones that can endure to the end is those that He has sealed unto the day of redemption, because the devil cannot do anything with them. They will endure. That's why the Bible spoke of in Paul's day those whose name are already written down in the Lamb's Book of Life, and spoke of us being the predestinated before the world ever was, given to us in Christ. These things brought to light as to immortality at Calvary. But a person will say, I'm trying to struggle along, hoping to make it in and backsliding. In one revival to another revival just backsliding just continually. And they go away and they come back, and they go away and they come back. Folks, that's not so with God. That's not so. That is not so with God. We've got to remember this. That's not so with God. We've got people playing a religious game. Luke warm. That's not so. People don't backslide that's in God. Jesus spoke in one place as a prophetical utterance saying, And I will heal your backsliding. Woe unto you, for I am married unto you. Can He be married to something and it not be His bride? Therefore He said, I have healed your backsliding just like He's healed our physical defects He has healed out spiritual problems. I have healed your backsliding. How did God heal my backsliding? He killed the body and that ended the backsliding. And He filled my spirit with His love and sealed it to where Satan can never touch my spirit. My spirit could never backslide so what do I do when I go to my High Priest. I know that He has already fulfilled all things to My Heavenly Father and my Heavenly Father is sufficed as to my perfection, as to my sanctification, as to my holiness, as to my eternal life, as to my reward. All of that has already been taken care of. That was a spiritual thing with a spiritual God to a spiritual individual through a spiritual Christ. So, I don't frustrate the grace of God. I have the infirmities of the flesh. Paul said I speak this after the manner of your infirmities knowing that you are a man. So then, after the infirmities of the flesh then do you stumble. But I go to the High Priest, and that's what the High Priest is for. And I tell Him my troubles. As the song writer said, I tell Him my troubles all alone. I go there and I talk to Him, and I tell Him my problems, and I pray, Heavenly Father, forgive me my trespasses. This is the way you told me to pray, Jesus. Pray, Heavenly Father, forgive me my trespasses even as I forgive those who trespass against me, God, not inputing my trespasses unto me, and imputing unto me faith for righteousness. The Bible said blessed is the man whose sins are covered, his iniquities are gone. Blessed is the man unto whom God will not impute sin. Blessed is the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works by faith. So my infirmities I take before God and I pray. I say, Heavenly Father, you said go on to perfection to make manifest within my outer stumbling, staggering being this perfectness of your spirit as to Christ, the perfect one, to make manifest in my body this life, into my mortal genes this perfection until I subdue the body, and bring every thought unto subjection to Thee, Heavenly Father, and until by body responds to the perfectness of God to where I walk with Thee, I talk with Thee, I meditate in Thy laws day and night that I may receive of the measure as to greatness that I am able to receive even of Thee. Knowing that He resurrected from the dead, gave gifts unto men, and deals unto us as a measure of faith then I go on from glory to glory, from measure to measure as the inner man reveals this mind of Christ as to the knowledge and the greatness of those things that were given to me in God as the heavenly treasure that is transferred to my earthen vessel by faith in the righteousness of God through, as to the overseer of the Church, the great revelation that Paul the Revelator received. All right. So then, the revelation was made know unto me. Knowing this I don't frustrate the grace of God, but I take great courage and boldness for the Bible says that we are to come before the Throne in boldness that we might receive help in the time of need. This does not indicate that I come before God in saying, Look how righteous I am, as the man that said, I fast, I pay tithes of all I possess, but rather come as the man did when he said have mercy on me. That is to say, I come in humility before God, but I come with a heart of boldness that knowing that here is no sin in there, that God has taken it away. But as to the woman part of me, as to the feminine part of me, as to the veil of death, as to the body of that iniquity that is still there so far as the world is concerned, I come in shamefacedness. But in the boldness of my spirit as Christ, even as bold as the Lion of the tribe of Judah which is inside of me, for the Bible said the righteous is as bold as a lion. Come boldly before the throne of grave that you might receive help in the time of need. I go before God knowing that I have no sin in that Jesus took away my sins, but I go to my High Priest to ask Him to help me with my bodily infirmities and my sicknesses, my problems and my shortcomings with poverty, or whatever it might be or that which would be, or that which would be His displeasure as to my trespasses. I say, Heavenly Father, forgive me my trespasses even as I forgive those that trespass against me. So then, when I bring my body before God then I come before God as a lamb that's lead to the slaughter, killed all the day long, even that without spot, wrinkle, or blemish as to the body of the Lord Jesus Christ which is my offering unto my Heavenly Father in my behalf. As it was in the Old Testament when they took the lamb without spot, wrinkle, or blemish that their sins might be taken away. So then, in Christ Jesus we live. We have a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, not as the high priest of old that had to offer for themselves a sacrifice before they could offer for others, but this one, once and for all by the oath of God, has been made a High Priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. And He said, Thou shalt not wax old, but the other shall wax old, and ye shall fold them up and lay them away like a garment. But unto thee, O Son, I sware that Thy Kingdom and Thy Throne shall be established forever and ever, and there shall be no end to Thy days. And the Bible says as to the tranquility of Christ and His people, or as to the increase of His Kingdom there shall be no end. So today we are His. And people struggle along and they say I'm just trying to hold on to get to heaven. I'm just trying to hold on to get to heaven. Well, that's good. I'm glad. Do the best you can, but I'm not trying to hold on to get to heaven, neither are the children of God waiting for a rapture, neither are the children of God waiting for a translation as to the Kingdom of God, because we already have been translated, as to the inner man into the Kingdom of God. The law and the prophets until John since that time the Kingdom has been preached and men press their way into the Kingdom. So then, we are already in the Kingdom. By faith we've been translated as the inner man into the spiritual world of God, and we're not waiting to go to heaven. We are they that dwell in heaven. We stay in heaven. We never leave heaven. We are always in heaven, and the Bible said, Rejoice forever more ye that are in heaven. And as Jesus said to Nicodemus, The son of man who came down from heaven. He said, And who is in heaven as He stood as a man talking to Nicodemus. So then, being a ruler of the Jews he said, You don't know these things being a master? So then, folks, we are not waiting for those things. What then are we waiting for, Brother Pike? We are not waiting for anything except the change of our body as to this inner life being made manifest, even as it was in the days of Enoch when he was translated that he should not see death. So have you and I been translated that we should not see death, and as Enoch overcome it then we've overcome it and today we are free from death because we are not men. It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment, but God heard the groaning of the prisoners, as to Calvary, looked down at a time appointed and a desirable time of God. Which was of course the fulfillment of the law. And loosed the prisoners, or them that was appointed unto death, Jesus going down into the earth as to them that was before the law that could not be made perfect without us. He that was perfect, as to the promised seed, going down into the heart of the earth preaching to the souls in prison and then they coming forth, as to giving them as Revelation said, the garments of righteousness. to put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, to make no provisions for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof, and stay away from the desire of the flesh that warreth against the soul as to the lust of the flesh. Or that is, over indulgence. So I find then that I am free from the law and sin and death by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the works of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. So I don't frustrate the grace of God. I am already in heaven. I have already passed from death unto life. I already am a son of God. For now, beloved, are you the sons of God, the writer tells us. I already am a son of God and I'm only waiting for one thing and that is for this glorious wonderful thing that was given me in Christ before the world ever was, that wonderful thing in the mind of Christ that's always been, that has been transferred to my heart by the mind and spirit of Christ. I'm waiting for this to be made manifest in my mortal body, because I already have this heavenly treasure, as to Christ, and the Word of God, and the wonderful things of God on the inside of me. When you talk about treasures people are so carnal minded. They think about gold and silver and all the things of the world, but I tried to explain from time to time that before there was a diamond, before there was a piece of gold, before there was a ruby, before there was any of the treasures that we have, all of these having emanated from the great Eternal Spirit, that it was as in the beginning that the Word said, let there be, and there was. And if I have the Word on the inside of me then I have all of the treasures, because all of the treasures come from the Word. So the Bible said all things are yours. And if I perfect holiness on the inside in the fear of God, whatever the measure might be that I make manifest in my mortal genes, as to this Christ within me, then this is as to what I am. Thirty fold, sixty fold, a hundred fold, going on to a full reward, going on to the full measure of the full stature of the perfect man, Christ Jesus. So then, in this we see that a wonderful thing has taken place. I say so often, great and mighty things are taking place. Someone would question that. They look at me as if to say, Well, what do you mean. Then I say, A great mighty thing is taking place. Then they look at me with questions as to say, What is he talking about? I'm saying that a great might thing has taken place. That God has wrought in Christ Jesus, in His foreknowledge, before the world ever was, He has wrought this wonderful thing, as to eternal life, having given it to us in Christ. And then I say, Now, great things has taken place. Then I say, Now great things are taking place. And as to the question, What does he mean? I mean that this great thing was given to us in God before the world ever was in the mind of Christ is now within our heart as to heavenly treasure, as the mind and spirit of Christ, and that it is revealing itself day by day through the tutoring, through the grasping, through our development and growth into the wonderful mind of God and the life of God. These things are daily taking place from glory to glory on the inside so every service is a great exciting service to them that have their eyes open, to them that look for the diamonds and the rubies and the jewels of God, as to have these in their crowns of living. You know, the Bible teaches, him that overcometh God will give to him a crown. And the crown, I say again, is not a crown as that that setteth upon the head, but that which setteth upon the head as to indicate that in the understanding this great thing is in the understanding, that this great crown upon the head as to these two jewels, it is a crown as to human living. But the Bible speaks of a crown of life, which means crowning the soul with glory, and that with this illumination what reaches out, as we would say, and this light will reach thus and thus. And it will reach x amount of miles, and then we say the lasers will reach all the way to the moon. And the Bible said as to an angel that flew through the heavens having a great light that lightened all the earth. And as it was with the shepherds on the hillside, when this glorious light appeared, when the Bible said the angel, as light, came upon them. So then, we find that this glory, as to whatever your glory is, whatever you light is, whatever you measure is, as to the lamb being the light of the city, as to Him being the full light of the city, so then are you as to memberships as to what your measure us as the Church, the light of the world, the candle powers coming together to the great wonderful light. See? So a light goes so far. That is to say, whatever your measure might be, whatever your glory might be. There they saw Jesus in glory, the great wonderful illumination when His raiment became exceedingly white as no fuller's soap on earth could whiten it, and he glistened as the movie stars when you see these symbolics. So then, here we are with the glory of God inwardly that is about to be made manifest in our outer man, and the Bible said He that winneth souls is wise, and in that day they'll turn many to righteousness, shall shine as the brightness of the noonday. So then, we find that this heavenly treasure is on the inside, and it's making it's way out even as the face of Stephen as it shown. Even as the Bible said, Wisdom maketh a man's face to shine. So, I'm simply saying one thing, and that is that if I win a soul__ If I win a soul, He said, I'll remember you when I come to make up my jewels, in that jewels are symbolic, as to birth stones. They are symbolic of people, even as to the tribes of Israel, even as the angel of God when the Lord came Himself and I saw the angel in the vision when the Lord Himself came to me and said to me, Where is the stone of thy birth? And I said, I don't know. I don't know. And He said, I shall get thee one. And even when he went away and he came back and he lifted up my hand and slipped the ring on my finger, which ring is still there tonight, though you can't see it. And He said, I shall never leave thee, nor forsake thee, but lo, I shall be with thee always in the time of trouble and the time of need. Whereas that was no different from you, because God has said in His Word to you. I shall never leave you. I shall never forsake you, but lo, I shall be with you in the time of trouble and need, or I shall be with you, lo, always even unto the end of the world. So, we can boldly say that Christ is our helper in the time of need. So then, if you want to win souls then in the day of that wonderful coming of the new world your light will be so radiant, and within the radiance of your light there will be people that are filled with the abundance of living as to eternal life, and each one of them is a jewel that you will see every day of your life throughout eternity as they sparkle with the radiance within the radius of your confines to the extent it's credited to you because you are the one that did it. Let's give the Lord a hand. So then, our labor is not in vain in Christ Jesus for we'll receive these rewards, as to the crown of life that fadeth not away. All right. Let's stand together. Another day is gone and we're trying to exhort just a little bit again that you might be filled with wonderful exuberance of God, and activated with that wonderful power and majesty from on high. The motivation of our life, as to the inspiration of God, the motivation of the life of the natural people is by the inspiration of the flesh as to the human senses, and the quickening and the stimulation of that which pertains to sports and those things of the world as to human appetites. But ours is the quickening that shall not pass away, even the great wonderful quickening of the Eternal Spirit in that we are born of the Spirit, and we are quickened by the spirit. For the Bible says that if this spirit be in you that raised up Christ from the dead then He shall also by the spirit that dwelleth within you, even His spirit, quicken your mortal body, or your mortal flesh. All right. Let's sing together. I want to say again that we are glad to have Robs mother here. She was with us this morning. She comes down from Missouri. Sister Maryanna called, as I said this morning, from Missouri. She lives in that area. A wonderful person. Maybe they can get together out there. I don't know just exactly how far apart they are within the state, but we always consider it a privilege for you to come and be with us. And I'm not sure, but I think__ It could be, I'll put it like that. I thought I saw Charlie and Brother Jerry Fason. Maybe I didn't. And I also thought I saw Terry Lambert back there. But anyway, we're glad to have you. We're glad to have you. You've come to be with us. May God richly bless you and endow you with the goodness of heaven. As it was said, Tarry before Him until you be endued with power from on high. He will endow you with a good dowry. And if you walk in the light as he is in the light you'll have a wonderful life, wonderful life. For as the song we wrote one time, And life can be beautiful if you take Jesus with you. Let's sing this together Brother Taylor, can we? Now, as I try to sing you sing. (Sings Come A Little Closer.) Sing that with me. (Continues singing.) Somebody say hallelujah. Let's sing this little chorus, Brother Taylor. Dampen my throat a little bit from time to time. Still kind of hoarse. Give me another key. (Sings There's A Bridge Over The River.) Can you sing it just one more time? (Continues singing.) Do you love Him? (Begin tape two, side one.) Let's sing this little chorus, Brother Taylor. (Sings Across The Bridge.) Sing that with me. (Continues singing.) Can you sing that with me? (Continues singing.) One more time. (Continues singing.) All right, let's sing this little chorus. Jesus is so good to us. He is so wonderfully good. Give me a key. (Sings I Claim Jesus First Of All.) Sing it with me, now. (Continues singing.) One more time. (Continues singing.) Somebody say hallelujah. All right. We've said a little bit tonight to try to encourage your faith and to let you know who you are. It's appointed unto man once to die, and so then, as having been a man born into this world, so then you died. So we consider ourselves to be dead indeed unto sin by the body of the Lord Jesus. Having ben dead now we can see God. Seeing always the things our Heavenly Father does, trying to do always the things that please Him. And without faith it's impossible to please Him, as to believe in the righteousness of God by faith. That's why it's impossible to please God without believing, because He can only take away your sins through the believing in His Own righteousness, the righteousness which is by God. So then, we're not men, we're Gods. And if Gods then it's not appointed unto Gods to die. Because a God cannot die. A God lives on in ever generation. A God lives on throughout eternity because we are Gods, even the bone of His bone and the flesh of His flesh, as even the God Almighty as the Lord of Heaven, as the King of Kings. So then, are ye in Him. As Christ is so are ye in Him. And the Bible said we are complete in Him. Or that is, we are not lacking anything as to righteousness, or whatever it might be, as to all things that pertain unto life in this world and the world to come. We are His. All right. Let's sing this little chorus. We sing the chorus I Love Him; let's sing that chorus. The altars are open if you'd love to come down you are welcome to come. Can you sing that with me? (Sings I Love Him.) Sing it again, now. (Continues singing and sings I Don't Need No Gold Or Silver.) Can you sing with me? (Continues singing.) Let's sing this little chorus before we dismiss, Brother Taylor. (Sings Let Tomorrow Be Tomorrow.) Can you sing that with me? (Continues singing.) Let's give Him one more hand. Let's lift our hands up tonight, close our eyes and let's sing this little chorus, I Will Praise Him. (Continues singing.) Sing it again now. (Continues singing) While I'm singing I'm going to ask Brother Rob if he'll come up and dismiss us. And as Rob comes tonight let's love the Lord with all of our heart. The Bible said examine yourselves and see if you be in the faith. Tonight as you search your hearts remember faith comes by the hearing of the Word and you are saved by faith and that through grace, not of yourselves, not of works, but lest any man should boast, but it's the gift of God, and that of Christ within you even He that is made heir to the glory of God for He is your hope of glory. Once again let's sing it together, now. (Sings I Will Praise Him.)
