Romans 12:18 If it be possible as much as lieth within you, live peaceably with all men.

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Principle: There are certain things that He wants you to have confidence in, things to believe that are in His hand. That He will perform. But there are certain things that we are clearly and repeatedly commanded in Scripture that we should do. We must know them first!

Eph. 4:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

His will includes your sanctification, relationships, how we treat family members, etc.

Includes what we believe and how we believe it, separation from the world, attitudes to others, etc.

PSALMS 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me

BEHOLD.A.GREATER.THAN.SOLOMON.IS.HERE 62-0721 86 "But if I regard iniquity in my heart, then God will not hear my prayer," said David. What is iniquity? Iniquity is something that you know that you're doing that you ought not to do and still won't repent of it. If I regard iniquity in my heart, knowing that I should do it, and don't do it, then God promised, the Bible promises that God will not hear your prayer, if you know you should do it and won't do it.

Prov.16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

MODERN.EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY 65-1206 323 ... I give them to You. I don't know who they are; You do. I'm only responsible for preaching Your Word, Lord, as You reveal It. You're responsible for the rest of it: where the seed falls.

We are to watch for a pattern of life, some people are only looking for justification, they have an agenda.

TITUS 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

Heretic: (Gr.) fitted or able to take or choose a thing, schismatic, a follower of a false doctrine

INFLUENCE 63-1130B 38 How many, wonder, we're thinking of just now of great men, great servants, who God has used, and finally comes to a place till they feel that they know so much about the Word of God, till they don't even have that time off to pray no more. It's always social visits, visit somebody, go out to dinner. And the time that they should be spending with God alone, alone in preparing to come out in the sweetness of the Spirit before the congregation, they're out somewhere with some entertainment. You can't serve God and man at the same time. God's servant should be an isolated person to Him only. If we could only let the people see that. And then they get to a place they make themselves under obligation, as they meet the people. They meet the people, and there's bound to be a want for this and a want for that. And then the man of God gets his mind all tore up, and he's so tore up when he goes to his room. He begins to study, "Now, if I don't do this, this man will feel bad about it. And this don't do this, this man will feel bad about it." And then when he walks out to the platform, he hardly knows where he's standing; his mind is all tore up, when he ought to have spent that time with God. See? They're not social leaders. A man of God should be dedicated wholly to the service of God.

CONTEST_ 62-1231 28 …And you must be trained when you meet him (the devil); not trained in psychology, not trained in education, but trained by the Holy Spirit: God's power in His Word to make It manifest and know your enemy. Oh, what a cruel thing he is.

TAKE.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD 62-0701 48 (II Timothy 3) “…having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.” And the power is the Word made manifest. Said, "The Gospel come to us not through word only, but through power and demonstrations of the Spirit." I'm speaking of the army of God now: fortified.

The best kind of ministry comes when we are filled to overflowing and the people around us are affected by the overflow out of our life. That means spending time alone with God.

JUDE 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Building: (Gr.) to finish the structure of which the foundation has already been laid, to give constant increase in knowledge and in a life conformed.

Need to getting beyond past things, Need to be feeding on things that strengthen, are positive, build faith. There’s no substitute for listening to tapes, Bible, etc. or you’ll wind up believing things that Bro. Branham didn’t teach. Faith comes by hearing (not attending, tithing, dressing, etc.) One of the most impossible things that the Pharisees and their followers had to believe was what Jesus was telling them was the truth! They couldn’t believe they had to adjust their beliefs, or that they could even be mistaken!

COLOSSIANS 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

JEHOVAH.JIREH _ 61-0209 9 This is the most horriblest church age of all the church ages. …A very, very few of this age will be taken, as we know it. …She's just about finished, and God's pulling His Church. …We see the church in that condition: slumpy, lukewarm, enough to, "Well, it looks very nice, pretty good. Maybe I'll come back at the end of the week again." See, there it is. That's the attitude of the church. It's at that time that God picks one here and there, and one in the field and one... so forth, to take. So as we see we're approaching that age, let's settle ourself on God's Word. Get on God's Word, God's Spirit in the Word, and let's become lively stones, built up in the house of the living God.

MARK 11:22-26 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

MIGHTY.CONQUEROR 57-0808 11 …And then, I hope that you're built up in the most holy faith, that so that when you come here to be prayed for, you'll not be coming to be touched by some certain man or something. That has nothing to do with it. It's your faith in Christ. You don't have to even come here. Just stay right where you are and you can be healed.

I CORINTHIANS 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

MINISTRY.EXPLAINED 56-1001 E-11 And we have men today that goes through the land, and now not only evangelists who pray for the sick, but all around. And we have people in our churches who impersonate each other, try to say, "Now, because she did it, I will too. Because he did it, I will too." That's hypocrisy. You are what you are by the grace of God. And just be yourself. God will love you better, and the people will love you better too, if you'll just be yourself. Be honest and sincere in what you do, and God will bless your efforts.

WARNING.THEN.JUDGMENT 63-0724 40 Now, because we have a responsibility that we've got to answer to God someday for. Every man that come on the face of the earth has to answer to God for a responsibility. And to many of us, a stewardship, we have to answer for. We... This responsibility is a stewardship that's been committed to us by God; I don't care what it is. As I said a few moments ago, "a housewife," then be a genuine housewife. That's right. If it's to be a farmer, be a genuine farmer. Whatever it is that God has put you to do, you got a stewardship to that; you've got to answer to God for, because it takes all these things to do it.

ROMANS 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

FAITH.COMETH.BY.HEARING 54-0320 83 Now, you're conscious that something's going on. …Your trouble's in your stomach. It's a, some kind of a growth in there, lump in your stomach, a growth, tumor. You're in need of an operation. But only God alone can make it for you. Now, ever what taken place just now, whatever it was, that's on me now, knows your life. Ever what's on me now, knows you, and It knows me. And I'm so submitted to It till I have no control of my own self. It controls me now.

ROMANS 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Yield: (Gr.) to place beside or near; to provide; to place a person or thing at one's disposal; to present a person for another to see, to bring near; to bring into one's fellowship or intimacy, to stand beside,

JUST.ONE.MORE.TIME.LORD 63-0120 113 But Samson prayed right when he said, "Lord, let me die with these Philistines." He had failed, but, "Let me die." You must be ready to die to the enemy that's got this victory over you. You must be willing to surrender your own ideas. Samson was willing to pay the price to get the power of God again.

LIFE 54-1231 167 That's the apostolic Church moving in the Spirit, wherever God said. Peter done without his dinner. Peter went down to follow the Lord. And God could ever get a man and women today in this tabernacle, anywhere else, that'll pay no attention to what's going on around them, but submit themselves to the Lord, as an individual unit, God will lead the same man today, that He led then. What we need today is a humble, submitted life. Submit yourself. Don't do nothing but leads straight with the Holy Spirit. What the Spirit says do, do quickly. Don't say, "Well, I'll wait and find out what this is and that is." What the Holy Spirit says do, go do it. What if I hadn't have went to Finland when the Holy Spirit called me over there? What if I hadn't went to the hospital yesterday, where that little baby was laying there dying; hadn't have went? It's, "Obedience is better than sacrifice." Do what the Holy Spirit says do. What we need tonight, is to let loose of a lot of our little old squeezy ideas, and let the Holy Spirit... You are taught here. You know what's right and wrong.

HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule (go before) over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Heb. 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

WHAT.HOUSE.WILL.YOU.BUILD.ME 65-1121 28 I believe it's not only should be in our hearts; it should be our duty to back him up, everything that we can: to attend the services, to come here to worship, and to make this a place where God can reveal to us the things that He has for us to reveal.

29 I know that each one of you, if you feel like I do, I am so hungry to see the Spirit of God moving, I just can't hardly stand it. Some experiences I just had up in the mountain, just to feel that once again, that Something that when I was first saved that was so glorious to my heart. And we can come into a place; we can set and we see it among us, that we are drying. As we sit here in the desert, I get among my brethren; they talk with me and I talk with them; always, in a little way of watching, feeling out there with the Spirit, as it was, to see just the condition of that brother, to see what's wrong. I begin to feel it's all reclining, getting away from the Spirit. It's become too natural a thing to us. We must worship in the Spirit, where the Spirit of God... Not only our Message should be the flame of the hour, it should be the flame in our hearts. It's got to be in our hearts, or we can't rightly present it to the people.

PSALMS 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

I Jn. 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

GO.WAKE.JESUS 63-1103 12 Therefore when the first person come to Him with the trouble that you have tonight... If it's for salvation, the plan that God laid down to save that man by is the same plan He saves you by. And He had one plan, and that was through the shed blood. And a man come to Him for sickness, upon the basis He healed that man on, He forever has to keep that same thing. If he acted upon a subject one way one time, and another way another time, then you wouldn't know how to approach Him. But, you see, He must act exactly the same each time. Therefore, we have confidence in Him. And if anything doesn't happen that we've asked for, we must check back and see where the line's grounded at. See, there's something wrong somewhere: maybe too much pressure has blowed a fuse. But, we've got to get the thing right. If we're not condemned, then we have favor with God. We know we're going to get what we ask for. We have our petition because we're not condemned. But when we're condemned with unbelief... And sin is unbelief... There's only two things that every person in the world is living by: that is, either faith or unbelief. There is no halfway between. There's no drunk sober man tonight. There's no black white birds tonight, and there is no sinner saints. It's either borned again, or not born again. We either believe, or we don't believe.
