The Pure In Heart (4)

Well I'm glad to hear that Brother Taylor took Lewis some books. We, Brother Pasdon, myself and Joe we were up there visiting with him while we were at the Lexus place. I talked to him about the Lord and he received it. When we got ready to leave, the hail storm was over. It was a terrible hail storm. Real significant it appeared. He came out to the car where the three of us was and I rolled the window down and he said, it was time for them to leave and close the gates, and he said, he said, You know, ya'll just won me over, said, that's all there is to it. And I can't remember exactly the words he used, but Brother Taylor he took a little follow up. He had some business to take care of there today and almost come home in a Lexus. I told him if he went up there, Lewis he's a salesman, and sounds good that he was rejoicing over his books. It's so wonderful. Brother Pasdon he went up there. On the way up there I pretty well knew what was going to happen when he met Lewis, but he'd done let us know he wasn't going to buy but he came home in a Lexus. Lewis he is really a fellow, I'm telling you. Well, let's sing a little chorus. (singing) Do you love the Lord? Let's sing one more little chorus, Brother Taylor. You know we come here for the purpose of growing in the grace of God, and I like to grow in the grace of God and I know that you like to grow in the grace of God, but that isn't all there is to it. You come here to grow in the knowledge of God. A lot of people as to the latter part there they don't place much emphasis, or value on that. They don't make too much attempt to really grow in the knowledge of God. All down through the years in serving Christ I've always tried to grow in the knowledge of God because it's rich to me, and it's wonderful. Faith cometh by the hearing of the knowledge of God. And that is the Word of the Lord. So I've always loved the Word of the Lord. The Bible said to mediate in His laws day and night and bring every thought in to subjection to that Word. And to have your faith perfected in Christ then you need to have the knowledge of God. As a matter-of-fact, you need to keep a real clean pure heart. Let's sing one more chorus together. Little chorus we sing so much, He was wounded for our transgressions. (singing) Once again now. (singing) You can be seated. Well we're here tonight to grow in the grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus, and you know, people who don't follow the things of God, as to understanding, don't really know what is happening. They don't really understand what's taking place, but great things are taking place. You know, I say that so often to you, that great things are taking place. You can turn over in Matthew to the fifth chapter, the fifth verse, or the eighth verse it is. The fifth chapter, the eighth verse. So when I say that great things are happening people, they say, Well, You know, I know great things are happening. I know we're living just before the coming of the Lord and I understand great things are happening. But do you really know that great things are happening? Do you know? Someone would say, Why sure I know, Brother Pike. Then if I came to you and I said, In that you know, would you tell me what's happening? Then what would you tell me? or what would you say? Because if you say that you know that great things are happening then the question arises is, What do you know? And then if you don't know to tell me, as to what's happening then that means that you don't know what's happening. So I say again, great things are taking place. Great things. And when I say that that would sound like I'm exaggerating because I say those things, and with a regularity. And someone would say, Well, you know, you've said that before and we know that great things are happening, but now, you know, what about now? You've done said that so much, great things are happening. But that isn't the way that it is. Great things are happening. Great things are happening like as of yesterday, and today greater things are happening. And tomorrow greater things. And the next day greater things. So then, someone would say, you don't really know that. Yeah, I know that. I know that. That's why I'm telling you that, is because I know. Someone would say, Well, how do you know? Well, that's the answer that I had on my mind tonight when I noticed something on Sister Betty's desk, on the little calendar. With a regularity she has those Scriptures that come up and I like to read them, or I like to find out what they say so I do that. And tonight I was searching. I though, now tonight I'd like to say something to the people tonight, as to something specific now. Lord, how about just telling me. And I happened to walk in there when we come back from riding off. Had been over to visit with Susie and the children and had been out to get a little fish. And Susie she's recovering real well from her operation. And I noticed it was the fifth chapter and the eighth verse and it said, The pure in heart shall see God. I think on that Scripture a lot of times. The pure in heart shall see God. And this is the thing that I was thinking on today, But, anyway, the pure in heart shall see God. And then my minds goes back to the people here at Bethlehem and to the people around the different parts of the world that we personally are acquainted with. And it goes kind of pro and con as to these people and my thoughts tonight. I think, Well, Lord, why is it? or I have in the past, thought, Lord, why is it that more people don't talk about revelation. And then, of course, the answer is that not a lot of people have revelation, when it really comes to getting in to revelation. And not a lot of people have the spirit of revelation. One Spirit, many operations. God is a spirit. Jesus told the woman at the well, God is a spirit and they that worship God must worship Him in spirit and in truth, because the woman, being natural minded, the Samaritan, She said, you know, our Father gave us this mountain to worship in. Or I could say, you know, I'm Baptist, and you say I'm Methodist, and another say, I'm Pentecostal, you know and on and on and on. See, we have our church over here and we worship with these people, and we go to church over here. But does that really mean anything? See? Does that really mean anything, because you go to church at Bethlehem, or because you belong to the Baptist Church? or because you belong to the Methodist Church? or because you belong to a religious body of people called the Charismatic, or whatever it might be, the Catholics? Does that really mean anything? No, it doesn't. It doesn't say the Baptist, nor the Methodist, nor the Church of Science, nor the Pentecostals, or the Mormons, or the Jehovah Witnesses. And if we could go on and go on, or the Pentecostals, whether it be as to what they call Jesus Name people, or whether it be Church of God people. Or whether there be any Pentecostal group, or any other group in the world, it doesn't mean anything when you say that you belong to those churches, or that one church is better than another. Or if you belong to this group then this is the right group. Neither does it mean anything if you are a great Bible Scholar, or if you've been to college, or if you give, or even if you pray, or if you fast. People have done that all down through the years. Especially the Jews. Said, Why is it that we fast and we pray and You take no notice. See? So it doesn't have anything to do with that. It doesn't say if you belong to the Methodist, the Baptist, the Catholics, or if you do good alms deeds, or whatever. It doesn't say that you shall see God. It says that the pure in heart shall see God. And the Bible said that God purifies your heart with faith. And the Bible says God imputes faith unto you for righteousness. And faith cometh by the hearing of the Word. And the Bible said, Show me your faith without your works, or effort toward fulfilling that Word, and incorporating that Word in your lifestyle. Show me your faith without your works and I'll show you my faith by my works. Or that is, whatever a child does he is known by his doings. And so then, God purifying our heart by faith, in that when we believe in the works of the Lord Jesus Christ in our behalf as to that that He has done for you and I, then when we believe in that then with our faith we offer that to Him and then He in return gives us His faith. Paul, turn my people from darkness, intellectual ignorance, unto light, which is godly understanding in Christ Jesus, the faith by which they are sanctified. So believing with my heart unto righteousness that faith purifies my heart, and then the Spirit of Christ comes into my heart. And the Bible said when the Spirit of Christ comes into my heart then the Holy Ghost sheds abroad in my heart the love of God in my heart. So then love is as strong as death. It fights against the condemnation that brings me in to the bondage of the beggarly elements of the world by means of the law. Whereas the curse comes by the law. Sin comes by the law because sin is the transgression of the law. And the only way to fulfill the law, to have a pure heart is through love. God is love. He is the Spirit of Christ that fulfilled every jot and tittle in the body of Jesus Christ. Hung that body up as that sinful body that Paul spoke of, that bastard child image, or that beast that was born as concerning Adam when the evil spirit of Lucifer entered into it making a generation of vipers and bringing forth sons of the devil. See? In this Christ, Christ coming in to our heart having killed that serpent, coming as that man Adam who hung that body on Calvary because it had become sinful and evil by taking Lucifer into it. So Jesus came in the form of a servant. And He came as that first man Adam in the form of sin and in the image of sin that He might take that sinful image to Calvary and that the Christ on the inside might put it on like a garment, hang it up at Calvary. And then as God Almighty smite it until the countenance was marred more than any man. And that when He smote it, just before the smiting that the sun should become as dark as sack cloth of hair, showing the forsaking of that human body. And the forsaking of it was the Christ that pulled away from that image that was made sin, in that Jesus really knew no sin but He was made our sin that we might made His righteous, resurrected body as He came forth from the grave in a new image. Or in a new form. That is to say, not the form of a servant, as unto Calvary and death having been delivered for our offenses, having been made our sins and God smiting that body there He withdrew from the body of Jesus and the body cried out, My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me? But He had to forsake Him to keep from forsaking me, and He transferred that righteousness of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit into my heart because that Christ Spirit that was in the tabernacle of Jesus, God saying, My beloved Son in whom I am pleased to dwell see ye Him. And this wonderful dove like Spirit leaving that tabernacle that Peter spoke of coming into my heart it was the righteousness of God which was in the body. And so then, when it came to me it forsook His body and thus my sins were transferred to Him, in that He came in the image and the form of the servant, which was Adam the fallen one. Or that is, we are all born of Adam and in Adam we all die, because the blood seed of life was contaminated by Lucifer entering in through the fall, or the deception of the flesh of Adam, flesh and bone, his wife entered into Adam through that flesh and bone by diverting the attention of the wife from Adam who was blameless and not in the transgression, being the figure of Him. That is, Christ Jesus who was to come while he was in the garden in that he was illuminated with the righteousness of God, even Christ the image in which He was made, that Shekinah priesthood that was from the foundation of the world when God said, Come and let us make man in our own image. Or that is to say, Jesus Christ being the beginning of the creation of God, the express image of God, that one day God would come in that image to rule in that wonderful resurrected image. And when He come He would be the head of the tribe. He would be our God in personification. In that we are men then we needed the form of a man to worship. And so then when He came He killed this Adam. He smote the head of that serpent, which was Adam, in that Satan came in through the beast. And from that into Eve, and from that into Adam and the Shekinah withdrew as the glory and righteousness of God. And that is why the prophet said later in the prophetical utterance he said, you cover with a covering but it is not of me. That is you cover with an intellectual knowledge, or an intellectual darkness from a mind. It is a darkness that covers your soul and you cover with this, and this has made you a beast so he put them on skins. When John came he came as the man with the ax. God calls Israel his battle ax. He came and he laid the ax to the root of the tree, and he cut down everything all the way from Calvary back to the garden. That is he cut down that family tree of Adam, as of the bastard children of the reproduction of the fallen one, or the serpent that had left the crooked trail, as coming, you can see it in the wilderness. And as when he came, he came down to Calvary. When it got as far as Calvary then that meant that was the end of the trail of the serpent, as to you and to I. And when it got down to that the trail of the serpent comes all the way from the garden, as to the fall, and comes all the way down to Calvary. Lucifer inside of Adam's body, and then the Christ came in the form of a servant, as the serpent that was hung up in the wilderness, being as it was in Moses' day when they looked upon the serpent, a brazen serpent. Then there was nothing that could penetrate that and they were healed, because we are that which has passed through the fire. The garment that has passed through the fire. Jesus was that. We're members in particular. Give me the garment that's been tried in the fire. Tried as if by fire, the Bible says. So when we look at this then we know that John cut down that family tree, which was the tree of knowledge, all the way back. The tree went down. Then came Jesus, the tree of life, Christ. Because the two trees in the garden was Lucifer, an angel that had reflected Christ who was God and the Shekinah. And was exceedingly bright, called the son of the morning until iniquity was found in the sense that he said within his heart, I will lift myself up. I will become like the most High God. I will exalt my throne above the stars, deceiving a third part of the angels because of his beauty and was covered with that great light, which showed Adam as to be the body of that Lucifer spirit in that Adam was in the garden and was in the presence of the tree of life, and Eve was there and forsook that, as the body of Adam, as to the dividing and took on the knowledge, as to the tree of knowledge. So Lucifer entered into her, as to death. And then it was not effective until she deceived Adam, or Satan working through the beast through Eve to Adam. And then when Adam partook of the forbidden fruit, immediately, immediately from that moment the Shekinah glory lifted so Adam had proved to be a reflector. He had reflected the glory of God, like Lucifer, and he was made to be the body of Lucifer and he fell and he was no longer the image of Him that was to come, the great illuminated One in that he was a reflector and he reflected this glory. And when this glory withdrew he had no garden. He was not in the heavenly places. He could not see the spiritual trees. He could not see God anymore for the Bible said the pure in heart shall see God. Adam was not in the transgression. He was made pure and he could fellowship God, but when he fell from the garden he could not see God anymore. When he sinned everything went out and he hid from the presence of God, and God came looking for him, but not being able to look on iniquity the iniquity, or the veil intellectual death, as to carnality, or the carnal mind, the intellectual reasoning to be intellectual, to be carnal minded, that is to have the desire of natural things, or carnal things, or the interest, as to the love of the world then the love of Father, as to spiritual things which is heaven is not in you. You are not thus motivated by Lucifer, and you have a desire to the flesh for he savors the things that be of the flesh and the things that be of the world. And if the love of the world is in there then the love of the world is going to cause you to be separated from God. So then, when this happened, as you know they put on fig leaves because they said, We are naked. And the Lord said, Who told you that you were naked, because they were not naked in each others sight, nor in God's sight because they were illuminated with a spiritual covering, as to the covering of righteousness which was the illumination. But when the covering left, as to the illumination then he showed up as a reflector. They had to have a covering because they had that guilty feeling on the inside. That guilty feeling from the curse having transgressed the laws of God when He said, Thou shalt not. And now the sentence of death was in the body because Lucifer had stolen the wife, which was the body which represented humanity which is the feminine part. And Eve, showing the body as to humanity, Adam showing the Shekinah as to the masculine, which was the Spirit of Christ. Then the Spirit of Christ withdrew because darkness and light hath no fellowship. And now the dispute is over the body, as Christ disputing over the body, which is the woman, the feminine part, and Lucifer disputing in saying, she is mine for reproduction, seeking a body that He might get out of the dark places, having become the ruler, or that of the darkness because the Shekinah Light had withdrawn and had to have a body. And the Lord allowed that body, as to Adam, him being a reflector, to show in the natural Lucifer as the Son of the Morning, or as the beginning of the creation of God, as you and I would say, or the first son in the morning. Or being born as in the morning. Or that is, not born but created from the dust. Whereas Jesus said to the disciples and to the others, from the dust thou art, that is from Adam, and to the dust thou shalt return. You are of the world. I am not of the world I came from Heaven. That is I am of the Spirit. I am the second man Adam. I am inwardly the Christ that will change this body from the servant to arising for your justification, as to triumph over death to show that death is defeated and the sentence of death is not in the body anymore, and to make you by the works of Calvary bone of My bone and flesh of My flesh. And in the sight of God so you are, and now your spirit is taken from that body of evil, and that body is dead by Calvary, buried in a watery grave. And in that you are planted with Him in the likeness of death, now have you risen. In baptism you've come forth having put on Christ. By being baptized into His death ye have thus been resurrected with Christ, and now as Jesus was, as to the head of the membership, ye are of the membership and you're resurrected. And as He was up in Heaven so are ye now in Heaven. And God does not charge your trespasses against you because the body cannot sin of it's self. The body sleeps without the Spirit, as to a Christian. It is dead without the Spirit, as the worldly term. So indeed it is dead even while you live because it is without Christ you are dead in trespasses and sin because you've transgressed the laws of God. So then, you have the sentence of death in you, but we do not have the sentence of death in us, because we're resurrected from the dead. We are now numbered with Him. Our body is dead and gone, as to the old body of Adam, and now the new body in the new form, which means not in the form of a sinful image, but in the pureness of that which Adam was, as to the restoration before Adam ever fell. So Jesus in all reality is the beginning of the creation of God. And this is why that Jesus when He talked to the Jews and He said, Ye are not of God. If you were of God you would love me. I come from God. They said, We be not children of fornication. We are Abraham's children. He said, Abraham saw my day. He rejoiced to see my day and was glad. And he did. He saw him under the oak of Mamre back in the Old Testament when Jesus came there and with those two angels like the covering Cherubs that are always there. He saw these when these went down in to Sodom and Gomorrah while he remained at Abraham's tent. And so then he saw his day, and they said, Why you're not yet fifty years old and you say that you have seen Abraham? And He said, Verily, verily I say unto you, Before Abraham was I AM. As He said to Moses, Tell them that I AM has sent you. And so then when Jesus came He fulfilled that. They said, We seek Jesus of Nazareth. He said, I am He. And wherever He went it was I AM the truth, I AM the life. So I said that to say this, that it is a true fact there is another image, and we are that image. And we do not have to sleep. It's not necessary for Christians to sleep. You are gods, but ye shall sleep, die like men. So you are God, but because of the lack of the knowledge of God, of knowing who you are and what you are, then your faith is not perfected. And so then, the ministry is sent for the perfecting of your faith because your righteousness, as to purity of heart is when He imparts unto you your faith for righteousness, purifying your heart by faith. So then, we know that we are now the resurrected body of the Lord Jesus Christ. In baptism we have put on the Lord Jesus Christ. and going by death and into baptism it was as Jesus went down into death, and when down into the flames of hell and then came back up on the other side, even the sign that was given, as to the Jews when they said, Show us a sign and we'll believe. And He said, There will be no sign to you because He was doing all kind of things and they were blind and could not see that light. Lucifer, the god of this world, had blinded their eyes that they could not see when good cometh. And so then He said, The only sign that you'll have is Jonah who was in the belly of the whale for three days and nights. And there Jonah said, I went down to the bottom of the deep and the seaweeds wrapped about my head, speaking of that that was around the whale, and he said, I was in the belly of hell. And a lot of people would say, Well, Brother Pike, that couldn't be. I don't believe that, a man in the belly of a whale and then he comes up, he's spit out and then he lives. But they have recently, according to the reports, found a man that was in the belly of a great fish and had turned white, as to the pigment leaving him. Had been in there a number of days, but when they got him out he was still alive. I guess God let that happen to prove to the theologians, and the scientists, falsely so-called, that all things are possible with God. So then, we realize that through the resurrection it changed our course of life because the sign of the resurrection was Jonah and he was suppose to go to one place; he went to another. He would not do what God told him, as to when we say going as to Nineveh and we decide that we want to go to Tarshish, or vise versa, as to whatever we would do, then we find that if we are of God, God changes our course. But our course, as we would say, brings Calvary. It bring the little ship. It brings the storm. It brings the raging until we are cast out, as to death, and then down, down, down into the deep, as to the water baptism, signifying this, as to our death being passed by that and then as Jonah resurrected on the other side with a different course to go do what we were told to do, or born to do. So we realize that in this that we are a new creature. We are bone of His bone and we are flesh of His flesh. And I wish that we had time tonight to really talk about this, as I say so often because it takes a lot of talking. So I'm just skipping about as I was talking to a Brother today the same way I did to him over some things. It is just tiny, tiny little fragment in that great is the mystery of godliness. And I was explaining to that Brother today why I cannot really preach the revelation here, rather than little fragments when I catch an interest. So then, not being able to detail it we're trying to follow a little course tonight as to one thing, to bring it to a certain place to make you to understand we are now the resurrected image of God, and in that He was caught up as Jesus and ascended up into Heaven, so has our life, our spirit, been translated into the Christ Spirit in that the Kingdom of God came at Calvary. Now our spirit has left the body, we're not in the flesh, so then we're not in the world because the body is in the world. It's dead by Calvary. It's buried. The new one that has come up is now the quickening spirit, members of the second man Adam, and we now dwell in the presence of the Father, even as Adam did. Our eyes are open. We now can see God. We're pure in heart and we're now dwelling in the spirit which is heaven. So then, all thoughts of the earthly mind is gone which is the world and the love of the world, which is Lucifer, as to that son of the morning, and now we're the body, the members of the beginning of the creation of God, even Jesus Christ which was the head. that at Calvary, as to the birth, or the head opening the libius. Then as the libius came open, as to the rending of the veil, of as mother earth. And so it was that from there Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead, went to set at the right hand of the Father. And as to these physicians down through the church ages, the seven church ages, the seven messengers, they deliver the child all the way down and said, Heal thyself., physician. And they deliver the child in that the travail is to the mother, as to the force and effort, and then the physicians, as to the child. And then it is delivered, as down at the end of the church ages. And once it's at the end of the church ages then we see the door open in heaven that Peter opened, when he said, Thou art the Christ, not knowing Him after the flesh, looking beyond that. And Peter had rent the veil, and the Lord was separated from the Christ in that He had made in Himself twain. And in doing that to put off the body that your body might be dead and the Lord might despise that image and that membership and kill it out, as from Calvary, the old tree, the family tree of knowledge, all the way back to the tree to Adam, and to the beast through which Satan worked to bring forth Cain, and to bring forth Adam. Or to get into Adam and start the generation of vipers that is on their belly, in that all of their labor is for their belly and their mouth because their belly craves it of them. So as to the dust, from the dust thou art, and to the serpent to the dust thou shalt return. Having been a reflector, there it was cast out. Not that God wanted to cast Adam out, nor to cast out Eve. He had already slain the Lamb from the foundation of the world in His foreknowledge knowing that this was going to happen, foreseeing and electing us unto grace. In that we were in our sins He saved us by the foreknowledge. And it came to pass that before we ever called He heard us. The prophet said, Before ye ever call He shall hear you. And he succored us, wrote our names down in the Lamb's Book of life, which book was opened at the rending of the veil which was at Calvary, and Jesus saying, Lo, I come in the volume of the book, as it is written of me O God, to do Thy will, or the Word being made flesh. And with this rent veil, as to the opening, our body is now dead by the body of the Lord Jesus, our spirit rent from the veil, gone back to heaven to the place of God. The spirit goeth back to God at death. The soul goeth in to hell if it's not right with God and the body goes in to the grave. Many things could be said about that. Hours of revelation. If you just pray God would give you the spirit of revelation to hunger and thirst after the wonderful, wonderful things of Almighty God. So we are they that live in Heaven. We are they that see that in heaven, and as Adam was made a quickening spirit that headship broke through the spheres and that birth and travail, as to showing that body on Calvary, which was the woman as to the Jewish part, in that Jesus was on that side of Calvary as the Jew, salvation of the Jew. And so then, it showed that in the last seven years of the tribulation when the seven years joins itself to the four eighty-three to finish the four hundred and ninety, as to Daniel's prophecy, as to earthly perspective then the door that Peter opened will close. John saw it open in Heaven, and immediately caught up as a symbol of the church having receive the revelation from Christ, or Paul who was in the midst of the candlesticks, as to the seven churches, Or Paul and the seven church messengers. That it was Paul at the beginning, yet Paul killed out, then he said, not me living but Christ, as to the Gentiles, even as Jesus was unto the Jews. Shown as Peter, Gospel to the Jew. Paul, as to the Gospel to the Gentile. Or that is, the revelation to the church because when Jesus was preaching they said, Why do you speak to these people in parables seeing that they do not understand what you say? He said, It's not given to them. So all things are done through the intellectual concept of the mind as God veiling Himself in darkness even in the form of a servant, as to the veil until the veil should be rent. Even the veil that was over Moses face when the Jews could not steadfastly look to that which is abolished, or that which is taken away. Which means the Shekinah light in Moses face when he had to put a veil over it to show that the fall of Adam, as to the first man Adam shown by Moses that the veil was the intellectual darkness of Lucifer that came over their spirit and it was taking their life into captivity, or hiding the light, which is the candle of the Lord on the inside, and the covering of their soul was the intellectual reasoning. So when Jesus came He rent that veil in two. And the Bible said that we are now not looking through a glass darkly, in that Moses saw the hinder part. From Calvary back we as those with open face, or looking into a mirror, and we are seeing that as to Christ Jesus and we are changed from glory to glory in to His wonderful likeness. Or from glory to glory inside to the ultimatum of that diplomacy, as to a change which is the adoption, as when the Jews come in. And my! I wish we could talk about it. But, anyway, with that then we see the rent veil of Moses the prophet like unto, and Elijah. That is to say John the Baptist, and the severing asunder. And there it is Elijah as with John the Baptist and the Christ as with the church ages. And when Elijah comes back, as to John having lost his head, then there came a new head which was Jesus and they rejected Him. And we brought this out. It takes so much detail that it makes me sorrowful in my heart. It grieves me so because I don't have time to get into it. It takes at least an hour or two, which you could never bear with that. It would have to be a miracle. Once in a great while we take the liberty and press on anyway, and the Lord brings you into the spirit enough to get part of revelation. So we know that Paul received the revelation, as to a change. Withstood Peter to his face to show the rending in that Paul said, I am Christ, the spiritual One. And Peter, as to the Jews, it was showing that on that side of Elijah, as going back to the natural, and with that the Jesus part, the dividing asunder. And then we see that when Moses the prophet like unto, that as to folded up and laid away, then we see that as to the Christ showing the carrying over, as to the Christ, here it is body and spirit. Moses and Elijah. But when it comes to the natural it is the Jews going out of the presence of God. Them rejecting their head they died. And then them going around, as to the woman part, the body part, or the purification to show that as to the burial, the resurrection, going through the holocaust, and all these things. Coming up in the end time in the tribulation, and then Jesus, the natural part returning after Moses and Elijah have done their work because they come back together as to the seven in the first part of the tribulation to the four hundred and eighty-three, as to the closing of that door after John is caught up and the seals are to be opened. And for the first three and a half years of that tribulation there is Elijah right at the end of it. And then the four eighty-three where the Moses was comes to the seven at the beginning then and all of a sudden it is the Moses and Elijah. The veil is not rent anymore so Jesus returns as the head. And they who have rejected the head they turn to the Lord Jesus and thus they are made the head of the nation and the curse is lifted. As it was said in Deuteronomy the twenty-eighth chapter, Choose ye this day whom you will sever, as to the blessing and the curse. Well, anyway, when this comes down to Calvary then the ax is laid to the root of the tree, getting back to the original thought here. And when it is cut down it is the end of the serpent. It is the death of the serpent. The life went out. The life went out. Smite the head, in the evening time the tail dies, the third part of the stars pulled down from heaven. It showed the evening time. Because the smiting of the head was the expulsion in the garden. From the garden to the dust, out of the presence of God. And the ultimatum of that came at Calvary because it showed a different thing as to a different dimension and the whole thing starting over. As to them that fell from grace they are under the law, and the smiting of them at Calvary and the tail dying in the evening time bringing the seven, and the stars fall from heaven. Natural heaven, physical heaven and spiritual heaven. And right there when the Jews went out of the presence of God it was away from the light and it showed the casting out as to the third, Jew and Catholic, and Protestant. And the third part fell. As the old devil came out , the tail around the third part, the Jews went out. Intellectually. Still the death veil there. And the death of the body, in that the body was separated. The feminine from the spirit, the masculine. And then that spirit came into our heart. The head went away, as to the resurrection of the new body because the woman went down after she had travailed. Hanging there as the woman, the Jews
Jesus shown as in Revelation 12, as to war in heaven. And we'd have to detail a lot of that for you to get a pictorial picture like linked to that. So when this happens the woman comes back up in the end and she is received by God, and it is said, If the casting away of the Jews be the reconciling of the world what will the receiving of the Jews be but the adoption, or the resurrection from the dead. Or, that is, the woman coming then after her purification, which is also shown by the Jews as in the tribulation period what is to happen from Calvary all the way through the church ages when the seals are opened. And we have this so thoroughly, so wonderfully, abundantly in detail and yet we can't tell it. Time won't permit. So what we do we talk to people in little groups. Like the Brother today. We happen to catch him by himself and went through many, many things while nobody was around. He was real hungry and real interested in what we were saying. The Spirit just kept speaking and went through a lot of these things we're saying tonight in detail that we're not bringing out to you. So what we do we give a little bit here and a little bit here to make each other their brothers keeper, and to have to come together in this mind to form the body of the Lord Jesus to find the fullness of the revelation of the lord Jesus Christ which makes you the body of the Bride, Paul the Christ the revelator in your heart. The daystar dawning from glory to glory to the ultimatum of the change which brings in the adoption at the time of the Jew. The only thing that is keeping the Lord Jesus from coming back right now is there is a time period as to the church age ending and the last messenger coming forth to bring the revelation, and he'll bring it in a seven-fold until the light is complete and put it altogether as to the what those seven messengers brought in measure as to measure. And then at the end of it, it brings the Jews in and the adoption of the body, which is the change, has to be by the law in that the new birth, as to the inner man, as to the Spirit. So our spirit dwells with Christ yonder and will return to pick up the body. It's not necessary for us to die. We've already been through baptism and this is said in Revelation in the fifth seal, as when the fifth seal was opened. And the Bible speaks of this as the souls under the altar which means the Jewish people that died under the law. They were in Abraham's bosom, which means that they died in the faith of Abraham. And we're right now in a present day truth. There is something that is really coming about even with Father Abraham, as to that that went through the holocaust, or the Jew that sent the bread over for the passover. The Matzah bread. So when the tree was cut down it was a great meaning, and I wish we had hours to go in to that to bring it up, of all these things that are happening, the moving of the bus. Why they run in to the trailers. What it had to do with. Great revelation. And what the tree had to do with, and what Abraham has to do with, and Little Bethlehem has to do with. It would take hours and it's so beautiful. It's so fantastic. It's so wonderful. What can you say? Great is the mystery of godliness. Paul said, the much revelation. Pray that God will give you the spirit of revelation, as to the dawning of this daystar, from glory to glory to the change of this body, which brings the body in, as to the Bride, or those which are the elect, which was in the foreknowledge of God. So when God put the blood on the Seat of Atonement it was there so that Adam when he fell it might keep the elect. When Jesus said to the Jews, Ye are of your father the devil, that's what you are. He was saying that Lucifer has begotten you through the fall of Adam, as to the feminine part. And through Adam all die, as to the reproduction in that Eve is Adam, as to his flesh and bone as to the mystery of God as the man and wife being one, the spirit and the body being one. And He said, And in this Ye are of your father the devil; you will do his will. That is to say because you have the love of the world in you, which is Satan cast out of heaven and has created him a world out of the illumination of this things being heaven. And he is there living in human bodies as the different membership of his body, the third part of the angels, seeking to get out of the dry places coming into human bodies. And they are subduing human bodies to strengthen Satan's kingdom, as to those personalities over powering you as a woman as to the masculine thing. The angels, you are made a little lower than they are and unless you have Christ, as to the great angel, you cannot resist that so he comes in with his lust, his covetousness, his desire, all of his corruption. He comes into you with his love of the world. He entices you and then takes you to the corruption of that which the president has took to. Now, let's stop here for a minute because there are so many hundreds of things I'd have to say just to finish a little sermonette. So let's just stop here for a minute and consider something. The election, it had to do with a great thing. I wish we could go through it as to the things that were involved in it. The cars that were involved. The dispute over the body, and what it had to do with it. See? And strangely enough, I believe it was--. It might have been the Atlanta Journal. One of the papers just as we got the Lexus magnified the Lexus and told of this great mighty car. This fine car. Of the outstanding car. Strangely enough that happened, having to do with that thing as to the resurrection. Many hundreds of things we'd have to say. And then, strangely enough the Atlanta Journal, I believe it was, carried the article on Clinton and said that he is the Abraham Lincoln. Or maybe they used the terms Lincoln, but Abraham. I said it because it goes back to the present moment, as to these things that are happening. So they said he is the Abraham of the Sodomites. Which we had just told one or two this very thing. We said this. We even said it to the audience here, if you remember, some things about it. That he was the same as Abraham was to the black man, but he was Abraham to the Sodomites because as to black and white naturally showed darkness and light spiritually, and that he was a creature of darkness and of the abase sort. And so they magnified it, which means again the confirming of the revelation as in Heaven the Spirit, the mind of God. The same in the natural as to the shadow. Like we were telling some Brethren the other day, I said, by His grace we dwell in Heaven. And I said, Being born of the Spirit we walk in the Spirit, as to the best of our ability, asking God always to give us a pure heart that we may see God who is a revelation, a spirit, a revelation to Christ, even as Paul when he killed out the body. The Christ. So then, in this looking beyond the veil, not knowing anybody after the flesh, not even the Lord Jesus. Which we could say many things of that which would be thrilling to your heart, as to your heart burning within you as the Christ open the Scriptures by the way, and rending that veil which is your intellectual mind and bring forth the mind of Christ, as to that tree of life. For my words are spirit and life. Satan's words are death. To be carnal minded, as to his mind is death because it's the love of the world. And the creatures of darkness, as to intellectual, is not living but dead in trespasses and sin while they live because that creature as a beast is not subject to the mind of God, or to the things of God, neither indeed can be. Even in your daily deeds it can't be. You have to die so there has to be a new body and a new creature. But, anyway, this thing concerning the light and the darkness is just perfect at this moment, even as Abraham and them over here wanting our first offer on the land across the way. We have two parts and just dropping in a few tads tonight just to let you know there is something there. And it's divided by the road out here as to one part, as to the children going over there in the consideration of putting these eight trailers together and great as to what it has to do with because it is the Jew's property. Down there next to Woody, which also had to do with that of Brother Branham over there on the other side of the road. The trees being cut down, or the tree, and now they're talking about selling that part of that forest over there as wood. About sixty-five thousand dollars they offered for some of the trees. So it will take away the wilderness. At the time of the crossing, seventy-eight, called the old serpent, or the trail of death, and the tree falling out across there having to do with power line, and having to do with the tree, and the ax laid to the root of the tree. And our people going over to cut down that tree, as the old tree of knowledge in that the veil is over Moses face. That is to say, Abraham over there sending it to the passover, or getting it over that highway of death coming over here, wanting to connect now this land that they refused to let us have, even as the Jews refused to let Christ have their body in their understanding as rejecting the Messiah, which is the Word made flesh, as to the book. And therefore they abide in death in their carnal religious reasoning. And Abraham knowing looking in this direction, different from Arnold and the others, has great respect for this, and now their are willing to let us have that land over there the way they're talking. As to the third part that is there in a wilderness, and there on that side, the old house falling down dilapidated, and then they are ready to come out of the wilderness. That is to say, Abraham sending the bread over here. The Matzah, the passover which Betty and I took, as to those two corners of one piece. Well, anyway, coming on over here, see? to this to tie that together to make the three in one proves that the end of the world is right here. If you could here the many things that it has to do with. Even the bus that ran into the trailers. And I'm just putting a tad of these things because it would take a lot to detail it. When the bus ran into the trailers up there, the bus carries Houston, and it ran in to the doors and it shows that thing as to Houston, as to the stone, because those as to those buildings turning to the school, going over as it would be Jordan to branch off, and then going over there near Woody, and going into this other part of the land which we have not used, which the priest wanted to put the ark in, in that he wanted to make a building over there to sell things. Or that is to sell these things of Bethlehem and he had come in to this thing. Leaving the priesthood or that, ordaining us a priest, as to what he did and rejecting that and coming to Jesus name to show the real priesthood and denying that of Peter and coming to Paul, in that Peter was the thing that said trinity. Let us make three tabernacles. It was said no to, as to the covering cherubs. There is just one blood life, that is of Jesus, as to the New Testament within this body as law and prophets. It all emanated from him. A lot could be said in detail. But, anyway, going over there which all was symbolic. And when this happened it was as Houston. The last one leaving Houston cut out the light. Mr. Bush up, kept the faith. The helicopter, the cross, showing it just a little bit here. To Maryville, the birth and down to Houston and the woman in the wilderness and then the coming, this harlotry thing, as the casting out of Lucifer, which (?) to open the bottomless pit as those of the abase that Paul spoke about which prove before these things even come in to view, as to even saying about it when he was suppose to be the outstanding choice. We told about these things dividing the nation, corrupting the world. So then, we realize that this has actually happened, and that of Abraham over there to get them out of that wilderness over here because it was Abraham when we went through the holocaust and was sitting in my home down here discussing it with me and I knew I couldn't talk to him about anything but Moses. He would not accept the Messiah, and so I said to him, Abraham. And I began to talk about Moses and he was so interested in my conversation we just got in to a oneness, and then I got his spirit and his mind. And I said, Abraham, now can I ask you a question. He said, Yes. I said, Moses said, And it shall come to pass that God shall raise up a prophet like unto myself, and whosoever faileth to hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people. He listened because it was Moses. Then I said, Abraham, what I would like to ask is, Who is that prophet? And he was astounded. He was staggered. He couldn't answer him. I'm sure his mind flashed to Elijah and all the rest, but he couldn't answer me. I said, Let me tell you who it was. I said, It was Jesus Christ, the Messiah. And it just astounded him, and we became real friends. And today he still lives with that, and as he looked across the way to let us know that he believed in this, that it was said of Abraham, all nations not just the Jews. So he sent us the passover to say, the tree cut down and that that would have caused death, as to the two highways in that the police knew, the county knew, nobody was doing anything but they were going to sue the Jews. And we saved them. By this, as becoming their Savior as our people called them, cut down the tree, saved them the problem. The Matzah, as to the bread. Then after that that indicated the Lord's Super. Prepare ye victuals. Joshua getting over the Jordan. The carnal reasoning of religion, and then saying, Here's our land, what was your offer. See? As to the bodily redemption bringing them out of the wilderness wandering as father Abraham. I say all of that to say this. Getting back to a Biblical thing in that those things would go on and on as a present day truth. Well, anyway, the stone, the crossing over, the catching up, the opening as to the spears, the shepherd, the place in Heaven. And now the door is open in Heaven, as we preached the other night. So the bus running into that showing that I'll take out the heart of stone, place within you the heart of flesh, which is the heart of the Lord Jesus. Write my laws upon the table of your hear, and the heart of stone, which was the law of Moses engraved in the stone will be taken out. The heart of stone. That is, harden not your heart. That is against the spiritual things as they murmured against Moses in the wilderness, cut off, and the Lord sware that they would not enter into His rest, as that place of His rest which would have been Canaan in the natural, crossing over the carnal mind. Or that is, getting over your carnal mind. the stone is rolled away. The resurrection, being caught up with Him. Or when we say that as to the heart of flesh we are translated into His Spirit. We are bone and flesh of His body and the stone is now rolled away, as the song writer said. So then, we understand these things in part until that which is perfect has come, as to charity and love in our heart. And it's so wonderful that I have been able to see these things. Caught up into Heaven, even into the art gallery of the vision, but not allow to take them out of the light down unto them that were in darkness because the law would get me. They were priceless paintings, as to these pictures, this revelation in part as it was shown to me, but you can come up into the light with me, walk into the gallery with me and I can point these things out. So bringing this thing to a close here, as to the thought, because there are so many multiplied things I'd have to say, taking my time, if you were hungering and thirsting after the Word, and we had the time to do this. And already I can feel, you know, that you're getting kind of weary in listening until you get lost in your thoughts, not putting it together, and not being spiritual, no strength and getting sluggish, as in your spirit going to sleep. That is to say, though you are hearing, listening, your not conceiving of these things. See? Because the spirit and the soul is closed up. A few of you are still getting a few things. Well, that's where it's at. You say, Well, you can't tell that. You don't know that, Brother Pike. When the babe nurses the breast, as to the milk, the mother knows exactly what's happening. And she can tell when the babe is not pulling that milk down. The Bible said as to the milk of the Word. I know exactly because the very minute that you spark up, just a few of you, and you're hungering and thirsting it just pulls the milk as you nurse from the breast of El Shaddai. See? And when you get sluggish and like that it stops. There is nothing there speaking. I stumble and stagger because in my intellect I don't know it. In my intellect I can't say it because it's not me speaking but Christ. And when the Christ, as the babe on the inside of you draws the milk it comes through me as a stimulation called the anointing. Or else as in would be preachers to come down upon me, as the rain upon the just and the unjust. And so I can tell exactly where, when and how long. So then, I said all of that to bring it to a close here because I can see that you have already stopped nursing. He that hungers and thirsts after righteousness shall not just get crumbs but shall be filled. The fullness of that heavenly eternal wealth and reward. So then, they that hunger and thirst after the world, to make money, to have pretty things in natural things, relaxation, and all these things to get out of church early to get over to the cafe, and all around, to do those things, to laugh and talk, whatever, they don't have much, just what little they can get. And be fortunate if they even make in into heaven because of this hunger and thirst after the world and not having the spirit of revelation. It is no proof, as of yet that they have eternal life. This is why I say belonging to Bethlehem and all these churches it don't prove nothing, but if you have a pure heart, being pure in heart ye shall see God, and God is a revelation. He is a Spirit and you can only see him with your eyes of understanding as they are enlightened to comprehend the heights, the depth, the length and the width in your intellectual. Which means if you're not pure in heart that means you will never see God, for the wicked shall not see good when it comes. You'll never see God Almighty. Somebody says, Well, someday we'll stand before God and it will be thus and thus and judged so. There will never be a day like that. The Bible said all the judgment is left up to the Son, which means the bodily perspective. And you could never see God. See? Because if God just dawned on you just a little bit that dawned on Paul. With all of his self-righteousness and his learning he went blind, and the scales had to fall to show coming out of the natural Jew side, that being among the Jews the veil was over his face. And he knew then that there had been a veil over the face of his people, the Jews, and he came into the light to become the Christ, as to receive the revelation. And being a scholar in the natural God just unveiled it until it became the word of revelation as to bring in the spiritual people, as to Christ to a spiritual person as would change the body, and that life would be made manifest into the body, the feminine part which would be the church, or the bride, Him being the body as to the head. Well, we'll just have to stop there. We just had got to Calvary and had brought these things out to where we could bring you across the Jordan, but about then you began to die out on me. And I was going to explain to you why that you can't get across Jordan. Why the Jews could not get across Jordan. Why that the body had not been changed, so that you could understand why. A lot of people say, why this? and why that? and they don't know because they don't give themselves to the Spirit to really find out, as to the spirit of revelation. But it is so brilliant, and so bright and so great and mighty, as to the peak, to let us know when the change will take place, why it hasn't taken place, what it takes to make it take place and when it is going to happen. Well, anyway, let's everybody stand together. I would say to you that you don't have to stay and listen to Brother Pike. You know, if you feel you can get it by yourself then go out there and get it. Really get it and don't get caught at the cafe by the wayside. And don't get perverted in your minds, as to the natural things of the world. Don't get enticed and get clear out of the mind of Christ and not get anything from the Spirit, in that you're commanded to meditate in His laws day and night, and seek those things that are above. Not the infilling of the tummy. The serpent is on his tummy, as we say. Don't do that. If you can do it the other way that's fine. You'll never find it in a book. You'll never find it in college. You'll never find it except it be revealed to you because this is higher above your head than the heavens is the earth, and it's hid from the intellectual scholars. Revelation unto babes who are considered babes as to the world, and some that are willing to learn. So the greatness of it is as being willing to learn. Well, anyway, I can see that I'm not getting my point over night after night after night concerning this but I do tell you this, the change is right at hand. No matter how you look at it, it's there. The revelation of Christ shows it and it said we that walk in the Spirit will know that. And we are they that dwell in Heaven. And as I was telling some of the Brethren the other day, I said, It's like the sun shining and here is a man walking down the street and the sun hits him because he walks in the light. I said, and then the other thing, as to you look at is the shadow. And Heaven is the light, see? and it's upon the object, which is to be a child of light and that which is projected from him, of those that dwell in Heaven, it is that down there as of the shadow of these that are in the world. They that abide in the shadow of the Almighty shall dwell in the secret places of the Most High. The shadow being the parabolic part of it, as the intellectual knowledge and that side of it. So then, being fortunate to the grace of God, and to the love of God, the merits of God and not of my own righteousness. Not to be found in my own righteousness but in the righteousness of God I walk in the Spirit with God and I dwell in Heaven and I see all of these things in Heaven as a daily stride. Daily. All connected together in a continuity, or in a chain reaction. And then they coincide, as running in a parallel and they coincide, and then I'm looking over here as a natural, because I am a natural man. Still numbered with the natural people, haven't made the change in the body and yet through Christ I have made the change and I'm bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. So being that natural part I'm watching the shadows and all of these things in the daily life as it takes place, governmental ranks or whatever. And then in the Spirit, as being Christ in the Spirit, not me living but Christ, Paul said, then I'm watching in Heaven for I'm hid with Christ in God whom the Heavens have received until the time of the restoring of all things and I dwell in Heaven. And so then, I watch that which is the light as from Heaven, the mind of understanding, and I watch these two things. As in Heaven, so in the earth. That is the image up hear and the shadow down here, and side by side they go so I watch it all day long, just every day through Christ I watch it. And it continually as the veil, the shadow over here as that which is the formula, it expresses the unknown and I see both of them as they walk along together. And you should be seeing it, because you're the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, members in particular of His body having an unction from the Holy One that you should know all things, being eternal. Having passed from death unto life and being eternally alive forever, manifesting this life of Christ in your body as to preserve the woman. To cleanse the woman part as the masculine on the inside, the sons marrying the church, as to your inner son already the son of God, neither male nor female, and it is redeeming your body. Save yourselves from this untoward generation and your spirit is marrying you body, purging your body, as to put Satan out of your body, in that in the sight of God the body is dead. He's cast out, but in that you're walking with this heavenly treasure within your earthen vessel, as to be made manifest in your mortal genes as to an eradication of your intellectual concept of God, as to this darkness as to that veil that you might be covered with the Shekinah because you cover with a covering but no of me. You lost that Shekinah covering and it has been given to the children of God as the inner man, which will rule over the woman as to the outer man. And we could say a lot right there that we've mentioned about the Black Widow, and whatever. Why she's a widow. Let's sing a little chorus together. (singing) The altars are open as we sing this little song. Give me another key, Frank. (singing) Sing that with me. (singing) Let's sing this little chorus. (singing) Can you sing that with me? (singing) Well, I'd like to say Happy Birthday to Brother Taylor. Today is his birthday. And we say again, as walking in the Spirit, it is so great and mighty that it should be his birthday at this particular time and this particular month. And as to the significance of it which is nothing less than astounding with many things that has to do with his birthday today. Folks, the door is just about ready to close in Heaven. The opening of the door was as to the church age messengers as to a light which was to become seven-fold, and so it has. And it is so bright. It is so wonderful and we are just feeding off of the crumbs. It is so great and so mighty. Great and mighty things are happening. Not in this world. things in this world are happening to the bad and the abase, even to the falling of the government of the United States, changing over to the foreign country, which has to do even in a present day truth, allegorically speaking, as to the shifting of the government and to these things, even as to the transaction of the cars. Whereas somebody would say, Brother Pike, you're just plain eccentric. You know, like somebody said one time, said, Well, Brother Pike, he'd make a revelation out of a horse fly. As I said to you before, I said, Well, Betty, anybody walking in the Spirit would know there is a revelation concerning the horse fly. And we brought it out. And I thought, of the horse fly? My, I thought has he ever, or have you ever considered the revelation of the Black Widow spider? So it is so beautiful, so wonderful. Somebody would say, You're crazy, Brother Pike, you're slap out of your mind. It's so wonderful to be out of my mind and having the mind of Christ Jesus. So then, Paul said, if I'm beside myself I'm beside myself for Christ Jesus. Somebody would say, Well, Brother Pike, how can that be? And as we were telling Brother Pasdon yesterday his life, some of his life, what it had to do with and Brother Ron received it real well and dropped his head and just shook his head because it just went right through him, as to Brother Rob Coones. And when we were talking to him about revelation he said, Brother Pike, it is so refreshing, so refreshing having been around all of these other places. And talking to Brother Taylor about some of his life. Brother Taylor he just kind of looses his composure and he is thrilled. But I say this, if you will explain to me how that Sarah, who was Abraham's wife, could be New Jerusalem the mother of us all, then I could explain to you the Black Widow, why it's like that. How many of you know that Sarah was New Jerusalem the mother of us all? Somebody says, Well, you know, you're talking about new Jerusalem? Yeah. How are we going to dwell in Sarah? Or with Sarah? Is that all there is to New Jerusalem? Well, that shows that you don't understand. But nevertheless that's what He said. And then He said, Hagar who is the one that is now here and in bondage with her children. Or that is to say, she is old Jerusalem. And if you can figure out how she is old Jerusalem then I can tell you about the horse fly. So there is really something going on and great things are taking place in Heaven, in the Spirit, the mind of Christ. So then, we have to look and remember parabolically, He spoke to them, never without a parable He spake unto the people. And that Christ as Paul, or Paul as Christ spake parabolically, and realized the veil was there. The Jews not been able to look steadfastly to that which was abolished, as to that light of understanding because the veil was between them. So parabolically speaking Paul knew what those women represented, as to their life, and he revealed it to bring out the type. The Jews said, Paul, you know, something is happening to you. And as those great leaders and great rulers said, Much learning has made thee mad, Paul. Well, anyway, let's just sing another little chorus. Tonight I just want to remind you that the door is open. As long as that door is open the candlesticks, as to these messengers from heaven forming that rainbow, as to the covenant down through the church ages. My! what revelation there is in that. But, anyway, coming to the last one, as to the closing of the door, ninety-three, seven years, these things. Well, anyway, we just better just stop right here. Let's sing one or two more choruses. (singing) And in the days of the voice of the last angel the mystery would be finished. (singing) Ye are the people upon whom the ends of the world have come, for in the fullness of time--. (singing) Reminds me of something someone said, that God had spoken to them and they came to Little Bethlehem and said, as to this place shall be the wisdom of Solomon, they said, and it was really great as to what he had said. Whereas the Lord has said, A greater than Solomon is here. And Solomon was only a parabolic expression as to what the Lord again was doing, as speaking in parables when the Brother came to say this. And the same Brother that said Brother Pike would make a revelation out of a horse fly, he was kind of disgusted. But, nevertheless, that same Brother told someone, said, he had a dream and sing about this reminds me of it. Said, I saw even Brother Pike standing with one foot on the land and one foot on the water catching the people as to souls coming down a stream, and setting them over to safety. Now, someone would say, Well what are you trying to say? I'm just telling you what the fellow said he dreamed. That's all I'm trying to say. Somebody says, Well, why are you telling it now? Because it come to my mind now, and the preparation of a man's heart is from God, that he should bring it to my mind as He does all the other things. That it has a significance parabolically. Someone would say, Well, I think you're trying to say. It doesn't matter what you think I'm trying to say. I'm saying what I'm thinking. Let's give the Lord a hand. Let's just sing the little chorus together. I think the Lord is telling us something. The door is about to close in Heaven. When it is closed there won't be anymore light. Which means the spiritual understanding. And all of these great wonderful treasures, as to the diamonds that are hid in the sands of time. You won't be able to find them anymore. The diamond and the pearl of great price, as to diving so deep, and the deeper the greater the pearl. You've heard the story of the little pearl that was priceless. Because the man's son gave his life for it he wouldn't sell it. The little Lexus that we got, it's strange, but the painting, as to the covering of the body, going back to the dispute of the body, it's called the pearl and the diamond. The diamond and the pearl. So it has significance. What can you say. If a spider has a significance surely a Lexus would have a significance. Let's sing another little chorus together. It's called I Will Praise Him. (singing) You know, it's not just a matter of you praising Him; do you really want to praise Him. It's not a matter of hearing, as to a reflector, out of restraint because you come to church and that's all that was brought. You know, it's a matter of wanting to grow in the grace and knowledge, and there has to be some milk from the breast of El Shaddia, as to the milk for the babe, to desire the sincere milk of the Word that you might grow thereby but also it's the meat for the strong. And the Bible said they who have by reasoning exercised their senses to be able to discern between the good and the evil. Or that is the shadow and the light. Then this is where the meat is, and this is the one that gets the meat. The meat the Word. And the meat is for the strong. Scientist say that meat makes a person strong. In the last days they'll come forbidding to eat meat which God has given to be made and received with thanksgiving. Or they will forbid meat to show that there is no meat of the Word, as to revelational understanding of the ministry of Christ to the church. And they'll stay so small, so they'll dwarf themselves as milk as not to babes, but as to dwarfed ones. A lot of people, older drink milk, though they say it's not good for you though you need the meat, as to the protein. Can we sing that one more time together? (singing) One more time. I'm going to ask Brother Gerald Williamson to come tonight. We were planning to say something that had to do with a little pyramid and related back to the things concerning Brother Gerald, in that we look at his life also, but we didn't have enough spiritual strength here in the audience to hold on, so we had to do things another way. Lift your hands up. Let's sing this song together as you search yourself and examine yourself to see if you are in the faith tonight. Just lift your hands up, lift your head up to Heaven your redemption is drawing nigh and as my Dad used to sing, We're nearer home than we were yesterday. (singing).
