Now Is Come Power

Well, it's good to be able to talk with you again tonight. I'm running just a little bit late. I was kind of expecting Chuck to contact me and he hadn't been given an understanding of just what we were to do tonight. But it's good to have a chance to talk with you every time we talk with you by phone or whether we talk to you in person. And in talking to you over the phone it brings it to my mind that Chuck has been diligent toward the phone system and he has sent out letters to the different churches that's wanting us to talk to them by phone. So it makes it to where we'll be able to talk to them right directly from the sanctuary. And they've got it to where they can hook up quite a number of churches to it. But, anyway, it's good to talk with you again and we just have come from what they call the Father's House. They've been putting the carpet down and they've got quite a bit of it down. As a matter-of-fact, they've gone like a whirlwind. Probably tomorrow within a couple of hours, or so, they'll have the whole building pretty well finished except several room at the top and they're going to try to get it and put it in and that will finish it up. And with some minor things that we have to do otherwise the ladies will just about be ready to move into it, as to the International Affairs operation. And, of course, it won't be open to, you know, everybody like the multi-purpose building is. But, of course, the multi-purpose building is not suppose to be open to everybody like it is. Some of them have just kind of taken advantage down there, you know, and later on we'll have to do something about that. But down there, there will be those that will belong to the operation there in the International Affairs and they'll be going in and out and be in their own offices there and taking care of the work of the Lord, which to me will be a real thrill because we've been working on that building for quite a number of years. And you know, everything has fallen in line just exactly the way we felt that it would. I hope you don't mind me just taking a few minutes tonight just to discuss one or two little things with you. But, anyway, I had felt of a certainty that the electrical would be put in the building at the same time that the carpet was put in the building. And I watched carefully and I felt like it might move toward the middle of this week. And it did. It fell on a Thursday, which is exactly the middle of the week. I know Wednesday is the middle of the week as to the five days but Thursday is the middle of the week, as to the seven. And it fell right in the middle of the week on a Thursday and the carpet, which had been held up all of a sudden we got it in immediately following the electrical. They put the electrical in. We use the terms, now has come power. And in all this time we've been hindered and I knew the Lord was allowing it because the building had a certain significance, spiritually speaking, and because of that it couldn't go into operation until a certain time and that the electrical, being symbolic of the light, as when Solomon dedicated the temple and the glory of God filled the temple. Being symbolic of the light that it would be the power coming into the church. Or, that is to say, the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, in that that is called the Father's House, and the body of Jesus was the Father's House, the full measure of the full power. So then, coming in I watched it and it was real outstanding, just allegorically speaking. You know, God has chosen the foolish things and the simple things to confound the wise. And I watched as they lifted the man up in the lift that they have where they lift them up on the pole. And, you know, years ago it was that a telephone pole looked like a cross and it symbolizes a cross. It was put there for that reason, God doing everything with a significance. And I noticed as he was lifted up in the lift up to the power unit that it was very obvious, that as we say, the catching up of the man child and now has come power. Just as quick as he got up there he made the connection, and of course, the light flooded the building. So at the same time then came the carpet and the carpet had great significance because the carpet was called the first lady. I've never heard of carpet being called that before but it's a beautiful red carpet and it's called the First Lady. And not only that but it has another reference as to rich wine. And we thought about the best wine for the last and then the First Lady. And when I say those things it would take a lot of explanation to be able to detail those things to where you could understand it. But you that are spiritual__ The bible says he that is spiritual understands all things. He judges all things. And Paul said, I would that you were spiritual. I'd like to speak unto you as unto spirituals. Because God is a spirit, Jesus said to the woman at the well. So then, it is obvious that these things that we are saying are very allegoric. When you say first lady you are speaking of a government. America was called the first lady. And of course, the Bible calls the church the elect lady. So then, having to do with the church, or the church ages, America was referred to as the first lady. That is to say, Martha, which was Washington's wife, showed us the first lady, as to the father of our country. Then it has been that way ever since until the Clinton administration when I understand that the woman that came in said she did not want to be a lady. And Mr. Bush's wife, who wanted to be a lady, went out, which indicated the government being over. And as Sister Betty has said, starting with the name, as it was, of the country and ending with the same name and then all of sudden the corruption came in. So then, from that we see the fall of the government. It has been falling and the Sodomy has come in and it's really caused a problem. Well, that means that the carrying period of the child is at an end, and that Billy Graham also showed that as to the child of America. America's son, he was referred to, and the woman carrying the child it indicated a maturity of the child and the child reaching his ultimatum. And sure enough they gave unto Billy, I understand that gave unto Billy a congressional medal of honor. Which, you know, you just don't get things like that when it comes to the ministry. That was a special thing for people that was in war, or whatever, but somehow or another they gave that to him and it indicated an ultimatum of his ministry and the carrying of the child, that the woman had birthed the child and that these things were happening. Sure enough during the administration of Mr. Carter, this thing about the man from China coming in, having to do with the dragon, how being a killer like he was he came here and we say the child being caught up to the throne, the dragon lay right in there to devour the child just as quick as it was caught up. Or just before it was caught up, that is. Just as quick as it was born, laying there to devour. And we've made reference to that of how that in the church world the blood life, which has to do with the red dragon and the fall through Adam, as in Adam all die, the blood life that Jesus stopped at Calvary when He started spiritual life, getting rid of the serpent, or the red dragon. Of course, we don't have time to detail these things so we have to hurry through them and it makes it very difficult to be able to get these things over when you do that. But, nevertheless, that as to the red dragon going out, ending the red dragon, casting out as Revelation 12, we see that with the thing that happened, as to the fall of the government, at the same time as it was that the woman had her feet on the moon. And we see that with America, the woman, being caught up to the moon and the footprints on the moon emphasized showing that the time of the dragon, it's coming, that there was a birth that was coming in. So we see this in a religious perspective and we also see this in a natural perspective as to the governmental affairs. And as I say it would take a lot of detail to be able to bring it to life. But I'm only saying those things to say that with the fall of the government out in the natural side of life, then the spiritual government is beginning to come in. We had it set up here with Mr. Washington as separation of church and state and the state has literally trampled the church, just walked over it. But God has let the carrying period go right along because when the woman is carrying the child many times the man will back off and he will humor her and he will just do whatever he can to see that she has what she wants and let her have her way to keep her from marking that child. You know, the old beast mark is to mark the child and that body being in the beast image it can mark the child. And God let that happen to spiritually show us that the church, the church while it is carry the child, as the church world, like America, or the church ages, during this time that God gives a lot of leeway to the woman. When the child is born then he commands her to be purified and to come back to her place under subjection to the male and to the leader. And of course, that goes into a lot of revelation concerning Calvary, concerning the fall. But, nevertheless, we see all of these things shaping up right here and the government of the natural going down, the carrying period of the woman being over. And all of a sudden now the church government is beginning to come in to bring to pass what the Bible speaks of in Revelation 11:15. When the last trumpet sounded the mystery of God finished in Revelation 10 and 7, and then all of a sudden we see this coming to pass to show that the government of the church is beginning to come into power, which is the sons of God, or sonship. As the other government begins to fall then the new government begins to come into power that the kingdoms of this world might become the kingdoms of God and of His Christ. This building that we're dedicating shows that. I had gone into that building while no one was there on one day just before the power came into it and made a dedication. And as I said, the temple being dedicated then all of a sudden the train of the Lord filled the temple. And then somebody, following that, had a dream that the church and this building that we're speaking of had become interwoven and had become a oneness. And, of course, there are just so many multiplied things that we have detailed to the brethren, at one time or another, as little things of significance that has to do with the building that shows why that the building is an International Affairs building is just now beginning to come to surface to the extent of dedication and use; God holding it up all this time. And the devastation of the tornado that came and tore the courthouse up and tore the city up and moved different ones out that were in opposition to us and the different ones that died, as to the lawman that was opposing us out here. It showed the old government going out, especially in this area where there is a number of governors in this area, or where they signed those documents back years ago. And the governor coming down to the funeral of the sheriff when the sheriff went out. Then all of a sudden, here comes one of the new ones running for the sheriff's office along with one of the policemen that the brethren had found favor with out here and they came out here as if to say, Now the old law is gone out and the new law is here for you to indoctrinate them according to the way you want to set up the new government, for the new government has to do again with the law. For law is government. That is the power of constraint. So then, it's really fascinating to see the way that God works in the simplicities of life and how that He gradually fits everything together to make it beautiful to where we can truthfully say that God is a present help in the time of need. And though we don't say a whole lot to the church about these kind of things as a present day truth, the reason is is because we do not have time to detail it. It takes hours to carefully detail it to where it will be of interest to the people and to where they can grasp what we're saying to see the pictorial side of it. So because of that reason we don't try to tell them anything about it. We just kind of let these things go and then we'll have a few brethren, from time to time that we have time to talk with and indoctrinate them in part, as to one part to this group and another and another and after awhile we finally get the picture over to them and the puzzle is put together. But it's so wonderful to know even a little bit of these things in a sporadic manner to where God can feed you and your mind can feed off of these things and put them together. Because as you do it becomes exciting and alive and it becomes a present day truth, a living revelation of this hour. And as the Bible says, the present day truth actually comes to you and begins to thrill your soul to the extent that it makes life worth living when it comes to living a christian life. And more and more it abounds and the bigger and bigger it gets the more thrilled you are as you begin to see what's really going on in the world of spirit. So then, in these things, as we talk to you just in fragmental form, we ask you to give the more earnest heed to these things and consider them because it is the foolish and abase things of the world to confound the wise. The Bible said it's not given unto the world to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God but unto you it is given and that God has hidden these things from the eyes of the wise and prudent, made them revelation unto babes such as are willing to learn. And that we should pray that God would grant unto us the spirit of revelation. And when we talk like this, you know, we go all the way back to Paul's teaching, as to the revelator, and the one that was called Christ in the earth and we look at the time when He said, Sarah and Hagar, being just plain women of that day, and you know, looking back at the women of old you would not have seen anything in their lives other than that they were just house wives, as we say, or just raising a family. But when Paul saw it when he looked back at it he said, Sarah who was New Jerusalem and Hagar which answereth to Old Jerusalem that is now in power, as to of that day, and is in bondage with her children for she answers unto Mount Sinai, which now is and is in bonds with her children. And he spoke of these women being symbols, or symbolic of two great mighty cities. One a heavenly city and one an earthly city and of their sons being as of the same. So that means that these things are highly allegoric and there is nothing that is without significance. The Bible said, And the heavens declare His handiwork and the earth is full of the knowledge of God but we have to unveil it, or unravel it, or look into it. And the Old Testament will come alive. It will come alive. Paul said there is a veil over the minds of the people in the reading of the Old Testament, which veil is done away with in Christ. And when he spoke of this veil he spoke of the veil over Moses' face and he said, This glory, as that of which was to be done away with, said, and this last glory being the glory of the later house, as to the Christian, as to Christ's body, is greater than that of the former house of Moses' body or that of the church in the wilderness. And this glory that came, even as a veil over Moses' face said, And this was to be done away with so that the greater glory might come. Or, that is to say, there would come a time at Calvary when the veil would be rent, and that is to say that the body itself would be taken away from the spirit, for the veil was rent in twain. The veil of the temple was rent in twain and your body is the temple of the Lord. Jesus said, Destroy this temple and I'll raise it up in three days. And the Bible said they understood not that he spake of his body. And so then, the veil that was taken away was the intellectual veil of death that was that that fell over the mind of Adam and Eve in the garden when the Lord said concerning the tree of knowledge, the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And that veil continued over their face until it was revealed in the days of Moses and then it was spoken of by Paul that that veil was over the minds of the people and that it had to be destroyed. And with this wonderful light of transformation of mind, as to the Day Star dawning within you, the glory of God from glory to glory, the eradication of that mind of infiltration, which is Lucifer and iniquity is completely eradicated that the light might fill the temple. And when the light fills the temple Satan is cast out and the Word of life begins to come in and now is come power. And so then, Calvary shows us Revelation 12 where the battle is in heaven and in the heavenlies where the Lord casts Satan out saying, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven which means the battle of Calvary, that there He did away with the blood life, or the old red dragon, or what is referred to as those on their belly, the generation of serpents. And so then, He cut it off right there and the Jews going out indicated that as with the Gentiles. So then, that means in doing away with that it's shown in revelation as the book of Revelation in the sixth chapter and it begins to show the heavens departing as a scroll and it begins to show the stars falling from heaven, indicating again the Jews, as to the former heavens. And as the Bible said, And the heavens shall pass away and the earth shall pass away and the sea shall pass away and there shall be a new heaven and a new earth which indicates the coming in of the church. And the true stars, which are not wandering stars, as to reflect this as it would be the moon realm, as to the stone age, in that the moon is a stone, in that that means the law. The law indicated the stone age. For I will take out of you the heart of stone, place within you the heart of flesh. That is to say, I will put My own heart in you and make you my heart, my flesh, my bone. Put a heart of flesh within you and write my laws upon the table of you heart. And it was said at the tomb, And the stone has been rolled away. And then came the resurrected Christ. So then, we realize that through these things there's much to be said, hundreds and thousands of things of revelation to be brought about. We see here that the light of the later house coming fills the temple. And with this light now is come power for it is said there when he casts Satan out then it is said, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. For when ye receive the Holy Ghost ye shall receive power and so I give you power over all the powers of the enemy which is the spirit of Christ within you, the hope of that glory of God. And without Christ you have no hope of that glory of God for he is heir alone to the glory of God. So then, we see now is come power because now is come revelational light. And this natural house down here on the camp ground indicates the time period. There is weigh points of life and there are time elements that are involved and this time element shows that this particular time with the first lady coming in, the new government and it shows with the light coming in now is come power. And with the building being finished we get an occupancy. Now is the time to be able to occupy the new body for the change of immortality that now the change is at hand, the church ages coming to an end. The carrying period of the woman is over. The government shifting back to Israel, even as I said concerning the olympics, the law would go over there to be trained for the olympics right out of Atlanta, Georgia and as it shifts over there it indicated the government going back and it will have to pass through the tribulation period. And then after that Christ will become the head of that government and we will return ourselves after the tribulation period to help the Jews set up the government as an earthly government and there the Lord sitting upon the throne with the twelve and the government and the laws will be set up for the new world. So then, we see that everything is getting closer and closer at hand and these things that I'm saying are so hurriedly and so sporadic it would be very difficult to fit them together. But if you'll take these things and work with them and ask God to help you He will open your mind and your understanding in such a way that you will be thrilled beyond measure as you really get into what is called the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Well, I didn't mean to take so long there in just trying to explain a few things but I hope that what little we've said might stir your interest at least to a concern to where you'll begin to dig into these things. And as the deep calleth unto the deep at the waterspout of God you'll begin to be partakers of the divine mysteries that the Lord said that you have a right to. May the Lord bless you and I'm going to let you go kind of early and not hold you very long tonight. I thank you for your interest and for listening and may the Lord bless you.
