HEAR.YE.HIM 62-0711 28 Now, if that gun would have started from the beginning in Weatherby dies, and had been made a Weatherby rifle, it would've never blowed up, because it would've been Weatherby rifle, their same kind of steel made up in their dies, and everything, and come right out into the regular rifle that it should be. But being it was something else, and just not only converted, but was perverted into something, and that's what made it blow up.
And that's the way we find ourselves along the road. We find so many times that people just can't stand the of being a Christian is because they have never really died out to self, and be reborned again, made from the dies of God to stand the load, the pressure that comes against a real Christian.
You try to walk with a real saint of God, and find that pressure hit against you like that, you'll blow up and be back where you was to begin with. But if you've been borned again, and really filled with God's Spirit, then you're pressurized by God to stand the pressure that the world can put against it like that.
PRESENT.STAGE.OF.MY.MINISTRY 62-0908 27 Here sometime ago I was explaining it. I was looking at a television picture where they let a man down, I think two mile or a mile deep in the ocean, and they had ray lights that went out. They was showing marine life. And there come fish by, that horrible-looking creatures. That it's midnight, ink black down there. And they had phosphorous on their nose and they had no eyes. Now, they have to be fed, so it looked like, to find their food, they were guided with another sense, not sight, 'cause they didn't have eyes, couldn't use them down there. But they were guided with another sense that they could contact their food. And I thought, "If I could have control of that little fish with my sight, how much greater could I supply his food and lead him places, how much greater my sight is than his radar he contact." See? And I thought, "If I could just lead him..."
Then it come to me, "If I could only surrender myself to God, how much greater is the sight and senses of God, Who could guide us much more than the things that we see, because the faith that He supplies us is the evidence of things not seen with our eyes. Then if that little fish could never come up to the top of the water like other fish, because he's pressurized. You bring him up, he'd explode. No more than we can go up higher and keep from exploding... We are pressurized for the place that we live.
29 But now if that little fish could ever come up here and be me, would he ever want to be that little fish again down in that midnight blackness? He'd never want to be a fish no more, because he's something greater than a fish; he's a man; his senses are greater; his understanding is greater; his intelligent is supreme. Then multiply that by ten million; then you get what it is when you pass from this into the Presence of God yonder, where the human being is so much farther than what we are here. You'd never want to be a human being like this no more, down in this pest-house of sickness and corruption. It's been that in my heart, that I've tried these thirty years to preach the Gospel around the world to tell people that there is a heaven to gain and there's a hell to shun, and there's a God that loves you, and a redeeming power that's laying ready to pick you up at any time that you're ready to receive it.
PRESENT.STAGE.OF.MY.MINISTRY 62-0908
138 How many Christians are in
the Way tonight, in here, that are happy that you started a long time ago, done
made your start, and way down along the road, still coming down towards the
end; I pray that God will crown your ministry, whatever it is. It may be a
housewife. a preacher. A deacon; a lay member. a
farmer. Whatever it is, may God crown your life with the glory of His Word, at
His second coming rapture you and take you away into another land where you'll
just be like that little fish I talked about, out of that blackness down there.
See, you couldn't go up there with this kind of a body. Neither could you go up
like these astronauts; you have to be in a pressurized tank. You're not
pressurized for it. But when God changes you, you're pressurized then;
you're going in the rapture then.
COUNTDOWN 62-0909M 91 He's promised all these things in His Word, for Hebrews 13:8 said He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. The things that He was able, God could achieve by one man who would surrender himself to it, to the Word of God, because as I said last night, he always stood with the Word. Now, do you know what, astronauts is no really no new thing. What about Elijah? If he wasn't an astronaut, I never seen one. He went where John Glenn never did think about going.
Why, you know, they had one took off in slow motion one time. His name was Enoch. He just walked on up, but he was an astronaut. Sure. He was pressurized; he didn't have to be changed, nothing. No, he was already pressurized when he started walking. He just walked right on out of all the dimensions and everything, walked right into the Presence of God.
Mounting pressure as we near the end of things!
363-1 - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK This evil-spirited church, full of iniquity,
will be revealed as the mustard seed that grew into a tree wherein lodged the
fouls of the air. At her head will be the antichrist, the mystery of iniquity.
And if this is true, then it must also be true that the Bride Church will
mature, and her ripeness shall be an identification with her Lord by means of
the Word, and her Head Who will come to her is the Mystery of Godliness, Which
indeed is Christ. And as the false church with all cunning and diabolical
power made up of political force, physical force and demons of darkness come
against this true vine, the true vine with the fullness of the Spirit and the
Word will do the very acts of power that Jesus did. Then as she nears her
Headstone, becoming like Him through the Word, Jesus will come that the bride
and Groom may be forever united as one.
Moses Stick & Name of Jesus!
WITNESSES
54-0303 35 Every man, today, knows that he can take
the Name of Jesus Christ and meet any foe at any place, any time, and he will
be defeated. I've met witch-doctors. I've met demons of all sorts and never
seen a time but what they'd bow to the Name of Jesus Christ. Tell you, friends,
when the Church lost the Name and the power of the Name of Jesus Christ, they
lost it. ...When Moses went down to
RAISING.JAIRUS.DAUGHTER 56-0731 12 …We see of His actions and His attitudes in the days gone by, then we could expect the same thing in this day now. …if each one of you would get into your mind, into your heart, that our Saviour is not dead, but He's alive and present now, just as present as He ever was in any age gone by, just as present as He was with Noah, with Abraham, with the Hebrew children, all the patriarchs, all the apostles, and all through the age. He's the same…
13 Now, let's get that in our minds, and remember that He is ever present; and there's no other creature that could be omnipresent except God Himself, no other creature. The devil is a great force. The devil has a great power, and the devil is great in his power; but he's under the power of God. And the devil can only be one place at a time. His imps can be everywhere, scattered out, his demons, his co-workers. But God Himself is alone in this field of omnipresence, not an Angel, but God Himself. Then that gives us courage. "Wherever two or three are gathered together, I'll be in their midst."
GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD 57-0120E …The devil cannot create. The devil is not even omnipresent. He can only be at one place at a time. His demons are present everywhere, but God is omnipresent. The devil can only be present at one place. God is omnipotent; the devil has a limited power, that is, as long as he can throw his bluff in. And the only legal thing that he has is to turn you back to the dust of the earth. That's the only thing that he has. And that's still with the blessing of God, by promise of God, for the resurrection.
DECEIVED.CHURCH.BY.THE.WORLD 59-0628M Where is our power? Where's our glory? What is it? Because we went after a wisdom of men instead of the power of God. ... Our preachers and things is so stiff and starchy, till they've organized us till we're so starchy and stiff-necked, till people, you never hear a shout in the church anymore. You never hear anybody cry. The mourner's bench is put in the basement. There's no more glory in the church. All we do is set back just as stiff as we can be. We're not free. We're bound. The Devil, with his modernistic demons, has bound the church of the living God. That's right. There's no more power in the church. There's no more freedom. The people are so starchy and stiff. Why, God can come into the midst of Pentecostal people, and show that He's God, and prove His signs of His resurrection; it don't even shake them. Glory. Why, it's a disgrace. I walk across the country, God working, performing signs, and people set, and, "Well, I guess that's all right. Oh, I know it can be done." It doesn't move them. Why? They're bound with Delilah, the world. They're in fetters.
