HEBREWS 11:8 By faith
Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which
he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and
he went out, not knowing whither he went.
HEBREWS 12:17 For ye
know how that afterward, when he would have inherited
the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of
repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
REVELATION 2:5 Remember
therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and
do the first works; or else I will come unto thee
quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his
place, except thou repent.
JOHN 14:2 In my Father's
house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may
be also.
ACTS 7:33 Then said the
Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the
place where thou standest is holy ground.
ROMANS 12:19 Dearly

58-1221E 71 You see, that little part, compartment
in a man's heart, God made that in there for Himself.
That's His control room. He sets there to control you.
That's His place. That's where He sends His messages
from, the control room. How can He work with you when
the nature of the spirit of the Devil is in there? And
every man born on earth is borned in sin, shaped in
iniquity, come to the world speaking lies. That's right.
So, in that carnal Adamic nature, how can a man achieve
anything, only by through his intellectuals?
But when he comes to be a new
creature, and the old man has passed out, and the new
Man, Christ, takes His throne in the human heart, then
life looks different; then he starts on a new road from
his own selfish motives, till the big ideas to make
himself something big, he starts right towards Calvary
to recognize God. Then his, all his objective, his
motive, his achievement, and all that he is, lays in the
glory of the cross, where Christ paid the price for
human life. Christ is our Life.
ELISHA.THE.PROPHET 56-1002E
25 Like Satan, he knows a whole lot about human
beings. He said to God, to Job, he said, "What would a
man give for his skin?" Sure. He knows something about
human nature. He helped pervert it. He knows... He had a
hand in it. He knows a whole lot about it, and he still
knows what to do to cause people to fall. He knows human
nature. He knows just what to present before you and
make you fall for it. He knows just how well to put the
smell of whiskey, how tantalizing to make a cigarette,
how well to put a--a place out here of a young boy and
girl just in their teen-age, drinking beer. He don't try
to place the picture a few years later and look at them
old batty-eyed hags. That's right. You'd be daresn't to
put a picture of a complete nude woman, but he knows
just how much clothes to take off of her to make her
tempting. Sure he does. He knows human nature. He knows
how to catch you in it too. And he's awake day and
night, going about like a roaring lion devouring what he
will. Certainly, he is. So there he knew just how to do
that. |
