The Open Door

...the other time that we were up here. I don't know just how long we'll be up here but we'll be up here for a good little bit. And we'll just have to let you know something about it as we go along. The wonderful news of glad tidings is always great when it comes to God. It's always a privilege to speak to people in the name of the Lord and have communications with them, you know, wherever they're at. And of course, being our way to do that around the world. We've travelled around the world to communicate back one way or another and we've always followed through with it and tonight we just thought we'd take just a few minutes and say something to you. That's how we encourage you in the things of God. First of all, I trust that people have turned out tonight for the meeting and for the services. I trust that everybody is doing all right and everybody is feeling all right tonight. There's been a lot of great wonderful things taking place and we have tried to share some of them as we've gone along. And of course, some of them has to do with the dedication of the new building. Remember? I'm just kind of talking to you a little bit the way I did the way I did the other day. While we were over there at the building we talked to quite a number of the fellows concerning some things that was transpiring and of the International Affairs Building and our plans and programs for that. We've had some of the others to talk to you a little bit from time to time about it so that you'd understand when we started operating there. We've got the two executive offices already ready and we've passed out keys to the ones that will be occupying those buildings. And they'll probably take their offices pretty quick and start doing something there for us. And then, of course, the rest of the staff will be in another part of the building working, trying to do what they can. All of us together can continue to put the Gospel around the world. The Bible says that God gave the word and great was the multitude of them that published it. So then, we know that it is a labor for us all working together to be able to do what we need to do for the Kingdom of God. And we know the need throughout the world of going into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature. That is such a tremendous task and we just have to do the very best that we can with it. So then, as I said tonight, talking to you, trying to encourage your faith in God is my goal. The Bible said that God has set in the church a five-fold ministry for the perfecting of the saints of God, which perfecting is not as to the works of righteousness only in the sense that it is perfecting the faith of the saints of God, for the Lord Jesus, by grace, wrought the works of righteousness there when he hung at Calvary, gave His blood that He might atone for us and take away the sins of the world. And knowing this then our duty, as a minister, is to be able to perfect your faith by bringing to you the Word of God. The Bible said he that God sendeth will speak God's word. And bringing to you the Word of God, as you understand the Word of God and enlarge upon it then your faith grows greater and greater. And then, of course, taking the shield of faith, the Bible said, that you might be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And so the wicked one does not have the ability to overthrow your program. Sometimes you get hindered. And he will hinder. Paul in his administration in his day said, I would have come unto you but Satan hindered me. And so then, it is very evident that being hindered then, of course, we know that he cannot stop the work of God but throughout the world today there is a great thing going on in a hindrance to the Kingdom of God. And what we have to do is just continue on to do whatever we can for the glory of God and we just have to press our way into the Kingdom of God. So then, another other thing I was thinking about was the Word. The Word. You know, when they came to listen at Jesus some said one to another, What word is this? And they came to Him and they said, By what authority do you do these things that you're doing? Tell us by what authority do you do this? And He said, I'll ask you one question. The baptism of John, was it of man or of God? And of course, the Bible said that they pondered and they said, Well, we cannot say it is of man or they will stone us to death, as the people, because they believe John to be a prophet and if we say it is of God, surely He is going to say, Well, why then did you not believe him, for he spoke of My coming. So they said, We cannot tell you. And He said, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. And so then, the power of the Word, I've often thought about it. The power of the Word. He sent His Word and healed them. By His Word He cast out the unclean spirits. And these men that listened to Jesus preach, even when they were sent there to subdue Jesus and over throw Jesus, when they heard Him speak they went away and spoke to the Pharisees and Scribes saying, Never man spake like this man. They said, Are you so deceived as to let Him take control of you as to the others and they said, But never a man spake like this man for His Words are with power, for He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they do obey Him. So then, never a man spake like Jesus. I like to hear Willie sing that song a lot of times when he really gets inspired. He sings a song, Never A Man Spake Like This Man. And it is true that never a man spake like that man. He was so in the affirmative when He said something. He was so positive when He said something. He was so thoroughly knowledgeable, as to what He was talking about, that they said he does not teach like the others. Said, He speaks as one with authority. Whereas, the Scribes and the Pharisees did not do that, but he said, this man does. When He teaches He doesn't just teach as something that's at random, or perhaps that we should try to conceive of, but He speaks in such a way that He is One that seems to have great power and authority to do what He wants to do and to say what He wants to say. So then, this means that the word of power that God has left with us has been here since the world ever was. The Bible said, In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were created by the Word, and without Him, as to the Word, was nothing created that is created. All things was made for the glory of the Word and all things emanated from the Word. And all things in it's due season when Jesus, the Word, came to Calvary, was confiscated and gathered into the Word that it might be preserved forever after that redemption for sin had been set forth at Calvary. The Lord set forth redemption so that He could bring everything back to it's originality and bring Adam back to the sonship that he one time knew when he was called the son of God before the fall in the garden. And so then, knowing Him as the second man Adam or the quickening spirit, having passed from death unto life we now come into no more condemnation but we've come into a new world where old things have passed away and behold all things are new. You know, and in this we're made to realize that there is now a new creature in Christ, a new world. We are not they that dwell in the earth but He said, I've chosen you out of the world and I've hid you in Christ with God whom the heavens have received. And He said again in another place, He said, Rejoice, ye that dwell in heaven. Rejoice forever more. And so then, He tells us in another place that having passed from death unto life there's no more remembrance of former things but now we are a new creature and we are the body and bone and flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ. And now we are sitting in heavenly places with Him, as to the right hand of the Father, so sets Jesus as the blood dipped vesture. And in that we are His body in particular, as to members, and in that our spirit is translated into His spirit we are hid with Christ in God whom the heavens have received until the time of the restoring of all things. And so then, at His appearing we know that we shall be like Him for the Bible said everyone that hath this hope within them purifies themselves even as He is pure. Christ alone is the hope of that glory for Christ alone is heir to the glory of God. And everyone that hath this hope of Christ on the inside of you, then that means that you will be changed at the coming of the Lord in the moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump. So then, we see a great day just ahead of us and we can tell right now in this present age that everything is beginning to fold up. We can see the end of motherhood and the end of fatherhood, the end of sons and daughters. We can see everything coming to a terminal place, everything going to seed and it makes us to realize that if everything is going to seed there is a wintertime of the tribulation about to set in and that there is judgment that is coming to completely eradicate and do away with all of the present operation of the world. For the world and all that is in the world is the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. And the world and the lust thereof passes away but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. And so then, seeing that the tribulation of winter is laying upon us, then we need to make haste and do what God has commanded us to do. The summer has come and it is gone and the winter time is upon us and many are not saved as of yet. The day light is fast leaving. The Bible said work while it is day for soon the night cometh when no man can work. And already the night is beginning to set in. The intellectual darkness is beginning to confiscate and cover the world and the light of the Gospel is gradually being smothered out. More and more the ecclesiastics of the world, the ecclesia of the world is taking control and they're pressing out every true ordinance of God and fighting and wrestling with the truth and trying to amplify, all over the world, all kind of evil and filth from the things that they are putting forth. Whether it be movies, news media, whether it be through the world of sports, or whether it be through money powers, monetary values, whatever it is, Satan is being magnified and the flesh is being magnified, and the dazzle and dream of the world is becoming so great that it's like a great gigantic web that Satan Himself has spun like a spider, and that he is weaving that web around the people. And it won't be long until they'll be so entangled they'll never be able to get out. And that web, of course, once the spider weaves that web he'll close in for the kill and that web will hold you steadfast to go into the dark pits and dark domains of God's judgment and the day of doom. So then, we really need to awake. The Bible said, Awake thou that sleepest and God will give thee light. It's high time, the Bible said, that we should awake, for when they awoke they saw His glory. And the glory of God is now being revealed. The glory of God is at hand. As a matter-of-fact, they're about to publish the Day Star. The Day Star of course, dealing with the house of the International Affairs, which is referred to as the Father's House. And this particular house has great significance especially at this time, being dedicated at this time to God. And then, of course, they're going to run an article concerning it and the covering cherubs that's over the front door. Perhaps the only doorway in the world that is like the doorway that you have there. And that doorway is going to be amplified and projected in the Day Star on the front page, as far as I know. So far as I know now, and it will be called The Door Open In Heaven. And, of course, if there is a door open in heaven it's in the Father's House. And the Father's house is the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Members in particular we are to that body and Father's house. And He said, In my Father's house there are many mansions, if it had not been so I would have told you, but I go to prepare a place and I'll come again to receive you unto My own that where I am there ye may be also. So then, the Father's door to His house was opened at Calvary. When the veil was rent in twain Peter looked beyond the veil and the door was opened and John looked and said, A door is open in Heaven. He did not see it until the end of the church ages, but Peter opened it at the beginning of the church ages to the Jews and to the Gentiles. Never before had immortality been brought to light, or the heavenly treasure had been revealed. But now the open door was there and the four hundred and ninety years of prophecy given to Daniel determined upon his people, the Jews, to bring in everlasting righteousness and to anoint the most holy, to take away iniquity. All of a sudden this prophecy comes up to the point of four hundred and eighty-three years and seven years, the seven from the four ninety and moved two thousand years away. And that seven years remains to be called the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Jews that we refer to as the tribulation, or the last week of Daniel. And Moses, like unto as to Jesus the prophet, came and was caught within the four hundred and eighty-three years on the first side of Calvary that was an earthly prospective and then came the heavenly perspective of the dimensional projecting of the church ages when the door was open and John could see the candlesticks there at the alter of that great wonderful place where the blood atonement was to be put between the cherubs. And Moses, being one of the cherubs, or Jesus the prophet like unto coming as Moses, then all the way over the two thousand years when Elijah as he went to the other side and would pick up the last seven years of the earthly perspective to bring it back together like an accordion, and close up that just like it would be the middle part of an accordion, which is the church ages, and bring both ends together that the two cherubs would be back together, Moses and Elijah, as to that last perspective. Whereas, behold, I send you Elijah the prophet before the great and the notable day of the Lord comes. Just before Jesus stepped down out of glory, after having perfected the church from the manger to glory, stepping down there before Peter, James and John, he came to be delivered for our offenses. He had stood there in glory between the covering cherubs of Moses and Elijah and which indicates to us the law and the prophets. And when Peter said let us build three tabernacles, it indicated the trinity would come, that Peter would be the leader of that as being called the first Pope, but that Jesus would go through Paul to bring the Revelation of Jesus Christ. While Peter, as history says, was crucified upside down and went out on the head, as we say, as Jesus said, Peter, get thee behind me. Or, get thee behind me, Satan. The casting out of Lucifer. When Peter cursed and denied that he ever knew the Lord, Satan had to go out. And then Jesus picked up Peter and said, I've prayed for thee Peter that thy faith fail not; when thou art converted strengthen the brethren. So then, the confrontation came between Peter and Paul for he went to Paul as Christ to Paul and Jesus to Peter. And so Paul was caught up rather than going out, down, as to the Catholic Church and the powers of Catholicism and the dark age went up into the world of light. And went up into the third heaven, there where he was caught up and saw these wonderful things called the Revelation of Jesus Christ. And a dimensional break down of his administration through the church ages came as seven dimensional steps so that we could, as a generation of people, from time to time absorb the wonderful knowledge of Almighty God that was given to us through that wonderful church age teachings until we look down at the end and seeing Jesus stand in the midst of the candlesticks and realize that the door that was open in heaven was actually the rent veil of Calvary where Jesus said, I am the door to the sheepfold and Peter, here is the key. Now, he opened the door and then the heavenly perspective came forth and has remained until this day because when they awoke they saw His glory. And His glory has thus been with us all down through the years and until this very moment, this very moment, then we understand for sure that at the very moment that we're talking right now, that the church ages are on the verge of being closed out. So then, if you're not ready, if you haven't made the commitment, or the confession to God now is the time to make that great wonderful commitment calling upon the name of the Lord. For it shall come to pass that whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. May the good Lord bless you and we'll be praying for you. You pray for us and we'll see you next time.
