RESURRECTION.OF.JAIRUS.DAUGHTER_ PHOENIX.AZ TUESDAY_ 54-0302
E-6 And what I
read here is His Word. It will never change; It'll
never pass away. It's eternally right. Mine may fail, 'cause I'm just a man,
speak like any other man, make mistakes and everything. But when He speaks,
mark His Words; it's the truth. See?
And this is His Word. Primarily this is--this is the
Foundation. And every church, every borned-again
person is built upon this Foundation, Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone. And
He's the Gate, the Door of entrance to all eternal blessings. He is the Gate,
the Door to the sheepfold.
And this Bible is His Word. And if a
man, woman, or whoever, speaks anything to be truth that's contrary to the
contents of this Bible, it's wrong. That's right. It's
absolutely wrong. But if the man speaks, and it's backed up by this Bible, then
it's truth. Every word of it's true.
STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
23-4 Now, here's what we do. What's
the first thing? Have faith and be borned again;
that's laying the foundation. Then after we lay the foundation, secondly, you
add to your foundation. "Add to your faith," Peter said here. Add to your... First you have faith, then
you add virtue to your faith. This is the next column. First pour your
foundation: faith. Then to your faith add virtue.
Now, right there knocks a lot of us
down. Yes, sir. Yes, add virtue to your faith. That doesn't just mean living a
virgin life, you know, like a woman or man, and so forth. That doesn't have nothing to do with that. The Bible said... We read over here
in the Book of Luke where it said, "Virtue went out of Him." Is that
right? If we're going to be like Him, we must have virtue then. We must have it
to be like Him. If...
POSITION.OF.A.BELIEVER.IN.CHRIST_ PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 55-0227A
E-33 Look at it,
bruised, wounded, tore, opened up His side with a Roman spear in order that by
the Holy Spirit we could be baptized into His body, partakers of His Divine nature. You get it? Then
you become a partaker, after coming into His body, a partaker of His Divine nature:
Christ's nature in you. How can you cheat, steal, lie, backslide, proselyte,
everything else with the Divine nature of Christ in you? It's
impossible. Let that soak just a few minutes, 'cause it's right...?... If you
be a partaker in Christ, then you become a new creature; old things have passed
away, and all things have become new. All of our warrings,
and fussings, and stewings,
and arguings, and pampers, and all these things pass
away. You see it?
What is the fruit of the Spirit? We've
planted it on church membership, upon shouting, upon demonstrations of our
works. But the fruit of the Spirit is first love, love Who?
Then is when you love those who are unlovable. That's the Spirit of Christ.
Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience,
there's the fruit of the Spirit. So no matter what church you belong to, what
you have done...
STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
7-4 Now, let
that soak real deep now. Not preaching this morning; we're just teaching this
lesson. Divine Nature... Let me read that 4th verse again now, so you won't
miss it:
Whereby we are given... Whereby are
given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these... (these promises)... we might be partakers of the Divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
See, the world--we've escaped that
now. He's addressing this to the church. That's why we're here this morning is
to find out what is the way; what is God's requirements? There's not a person
in here that loves God, but what wants to become more like Christ. Now, its laid out here. Every Christian... I'm an old veteran.
Look at Brother and Sister Kidd here; they're probably oldest in the building.
But if I'd ask them, "What is your hearts' desire?" It'd be:
"Closer to God." When you learn of Christ, there's something about
Him that's so loving, you just try to get right into
Him.
STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
11-3 Now, these
people are--are... Peter is saying here how that we must be partakers of His
Divine nature. Now, each one of us are trying to
grow into the stature of God.
Now, after we get through with the
Seven Seals, then at that time of the sounding of the Seven Seals, or the
loosening... 'Course, we know what a Seal is; it's to loose a ministry, to
loose Seven Seals. And we'll see that right on the chart. It's loosening a
message, something that's sealed up.
SIGN.OF.HIS.COMING_ CLEVELAND.TN SATURDAY_ 62-0407
E-95 Didn't Joel
tell you about it? What the palmerworm left, the caterpillar eaten; what the
caterpillar left, the--the--the other locust eaten. See? And that same insect,
from palmerworm, to caterpillar, to locust, and so forth, is the same insect only
in different stages. And that's Catholicism. What did it do? Eat up the Word.
But He said, "I will restore, saith the Lord. I
will restore."
How is it? Went
plumb down to the stump. That's right. The Roman Catholic church eat up everything that the Bible teaches. Right. They made their own Roman dogmas out of it, even to
their communion, their false Holy Ghost, false baptism, false water baptism,
everything else. You'll never, never, never get back till you come back to the
Life comes out of the stump, and that's the Word of God. Men to be free... It
bound them up in an organization and burned them, and killed them, and fed them
to lions, and everything, if they didn't join it. That's exactly right.
RESTORATION.OF.BRIDE.TREE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_ 62-0422
75-1 Now, listen
closely. Now, there was... Listen. Now, don't miss this now. There was
four death messengers... (Or would you rather we just close? Would you
rather...?...) Listen real close now. Look. There was
four, four death messengers killed that Tree. Is that right? What
was it? Palmerworm, locust, cankerworm, caterpillar.
Is that right? Four messengers of Roman devils, dogmas, killed that Tree. One
took Its fruit; one took Its bark--or took Its leaves;
one took Its bark; one took the Life. Is that right? Four messengers of dogmas
killed the Tree, all but the roots. And if four messengers of death killed the
Tree, four messengers of Life restores the Tree.
RESTORATION.OF.BRIDE.TREE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_ 62-0422
75-2 Do you get
it? Amen. For God said, "I will restore It."
He's going to restore It how? By four death messengers
killed It; then four Life messengers will restore It.
What was the first? Martin Luther, justification. What was the second? John Wesley--by sanctification. What was the third? Pentecost with the restoration of the gifts, the Holy Ghost,
baptism of the Holy Ghost. What was the fourth? The
Word. What? The Word.
WHY.AGAINST.ORGANIZED.RELIGION_ JEFF.IN V-12 N-1 SUNDAY_ 62-1111E
Remember, I believe that Martin Luther had the Holy Spirit.
Absolutely. Maybe not in the portion It is today, 'cause It wasn't given out. We've been through
this, you people of the Tabernacle, here on the blackboard. But he did believe
to God, "and he that believeth has Everlasting Life." I never thought
there was a person believed that like me till this morning, I heard Charles
Fuller as I was going down. He believes too, that the new birth is not the
baptism of the Holy Ghost. The new birth is being born. The Holy Ghost is the
baptism. See? Uh-huh. All right.
374-1 RESUME.OF.THE.AGES - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.10
We rejoice in this age for this one
thing. Reformation had started. It was not a resurrection but a reformation.
Neither was it a restoration. But the corn of wheat that had died at Nicaea and had rotted in the Dark Ages, now sent up a shoot
of truth signifying that at some future date, at the end of the Laodicean Age, just before Jesus came, the church would go
back to being a Wheat Seed Bride again while the tares would be harvested and
burned in the lake of fire.
379-2 RESUME.OF.THE.AGES - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.10
It is "Thus saith
the Lord" for that is what Joel 2:23-26 says, "Be glad then, ye
children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the
former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the
former rain and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be
full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will
restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the
caterpillar, and the palmerworm, My great army which I
sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the
Name of the Lord your God, That hath dealt wondrously
with you: and My people shall never be ashamed." Now it says God is going
to "restore". The Lutheran Age did not restore the church; it
started a reformation. The Wesleyan Age did not restore. The Pentecostal Age
did not restore. But God has to restore for He cannot deny His Word. This is
not the resurrection of the Church; it is the "Restoration". God will
take the Church right back to Pentecost of the beginning. Now notice in
verse 25 it tells why we need restoration. The locust, cankerworm, caterpillar
and palmerworm have eaten all but the root and a small bit of the stem. Now we
are told that all these insects are all one and the same in different stages.
That is right. They are the antichrist spirit manifested in organization,
denomination and false doctrine through the ages. And that poor little root and
stalk is going to be restored. God isn't going to plant a new Church, but is
going to bring His original planting back to original seed. He is doing it as
stated in verse 23, by the teaching, or "former" rain. Next will come the harvest rain or rapturing
faith.
380-2 RESUME.OF.THE.AGES - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.10
Now before we close, I want to bring
this thought. All along we have been talking about the Seed of Wheat being
buried, then sending up two shoots, then the tassel, then the true ear. This might make some wonder if
we said that the Lutherans didn't have the Holy Spirit just because they taught
basically justification. It might make some wonder about the Methodists, etc.
No sir, we are not saying that. We are not talking about the individuals or the
people, but the AGE. Luther had the Spirit of God, but his age was not the age
of full restoration by another outpouring like in the beginning. It
was the same with Wesley, Booth, Knox, Whitefield, Brainard,
Jonathan Edwards, Meuller, etc. Surely they were full
of the Holy Ghost. Yes, they certainly were. But the age in which each lived
was not the age of restoration, neither was any age but this last age, the age
of complete black out in apostasy. This is the age of apostasy, and this is the
age of restoration, it is the age of the finished cycle. With this, it is all
over.
HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-12 SUNDAY_ 63-0825M
The people so live--people can live a
clean, holy life, not be sinful, adulterers, and drinkers, and liars, gamblers;
they can live above that and still not with it. This is a--the age of life,
personal Life of Christ, where the--the chemicals of His Body, the--the what was
in Him; first, under Justification, the water baptism; second, under the new birth of
Wesley, sanctification which cleanses; and thirdly, under the
baptism of the Holy Spirit, putting that sanctified vessel into service... See?
The word "sanctify" means--it's a compound Greek word which means
"cleaned and set aside for service." Set aside for service, now the
Holy Spirit puts it in service. See?
SEED.NOT.HEIR.WITH.SHUCK_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-4 THURSDAY_ 65-0218
48 Now, we
understand also that God is perfected in three. Now, God is perfected in three.
Grace is five. Seven is completion, like the world. God is perfected in Father,
Son, Holy Ghost. That's the perfection of the Godhead:
all one God in three manifestations of three attributes of one office--or three
offices in the one Godhead.
Now, there is
also three in perfection of the steps of grace to the church: justification,
sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost. That consists of the new birth. Just like a
natural birth is typed by it. Which a woman giving birth to a child, the first
thing comes forth is water, blood, then life. The
Bible said in I John 5:7--or 7:5, I believe it is--that said, "There are
three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (which was the Son), and
the Holy Ghost; these three are One. There are three that bear witness in the
earth: the Word--the water, blood, and spirit--water, blood, and spirit; these
three agree in one."
THIRD.SEAL.THE_ JEFF.IN WEDNESDAY_ 63-0320
251-4 {169} But then, if the Pentecostal
message was the last message which justification, sanctification, the baptism
of the Holy Ghost... The
last three messages, the last three church ages forms the complete birth.
Just like when a woman is having--going to have her baby.
The actual first thing happens is water; the next thing's blood; the next
thing's life. When they killed Jesus at the cross, the substance
come from His body to make up the new--to make up the--the birth. They
stuck His side, blood and water came out, and "Into Thy hands I commend My
Spirit." What came from His body was water, blood, spirit.
I John 5:7 tells you about that.

The
reason I'm saying this this way, so you can see what
I mean by the lapover. See? It's from the missionary
age of the door. But, you see, He'd--He had told them
He had the key of David and so forth. But here He said He had set before the
church now, after that age of missionaring, and
Whitfield, and--and all those others, and Finney, and Sankey,
and Moody on down (Moody being one of the last), come down to now He set a open door before the church. Oh, here's where you have to
watch now. It's just in between the Philadelphian and the Laodicean
age, lapover.
PHILADELPHIAN.CHURCH.AGE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 373-423 SATURDAY_ 60-1210
141 Now, we find out that in
this great revelation that God gave here to the church in this last days, that God sent and reveals Himself the open Door
between the two ages. It wasn't in the--the Laodicean
age; neither was it in this other age, the Philadelphian age; but it was in
between, the lapover, 'cause the... I'll prove it in just a little farther down, and you'll
get it. You see? We'll make it rich, so sure that you can't keep from seeing
it, if you just want to see it. See? All right.
Now, the revelation of Himself is where He's built His church. How many knows that
to be true now? He built His church upon the revelation of Himself.
PHILADELPHIAN.CHURCH.AGE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 373-423 SATURDAY_ 60-1210
143 All right.
Now, what did He say? "No man can shut it."
I know Thy works: behold, I have set
before thee an open door,...
What is the open door? The revelation of
the supreme Deity of Jesus Christ. What did
He say to His first church back here, back in this age? He said, "I am He
that was, which is, and shall come. I am the First and the Last. I am the
Almighty." He said it three different times, made Hisself
Deity to this first church here; before He went into the last church age, He
said, "I've set before you an open door." If you want to see the
revelation, here it is, where He'd build His church.
And the only way He could take His church, is back to the revelation of what He
is. Truly.

264 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,...
Oh, let's just take it word by word
here for a minute. Will you bear with me that long, just a little bit? I know
it's hot, and you know it's hot up here too. But let's see.
I'll make a... He that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,...
Pillar... A pillar,
or a foundation. Foundation in the temple of the house, or
the house of God. "The temple of my God,"
or, "the house of my God." It's a pillar, the foundation.
These are those that took the Word which they heard in verse 8, and went back
to the foundation.
PHILADELPHIAN.CHURCH.AGE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 373-423 SATURDAY_ 60-1210

But are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ

327-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
Now
this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things. One:
According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers.
Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which
are the revelations contained in the seven seals. It will be these Divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the
hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. Exactly
so.
QA.ON.THE.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324M
464-4 {52} You see, each one of those
ages only taken a dip into the Holy Spirit. Justification is a work of the Holy
Spirit; sanctification is a work of the Holy Spirit, but the baptism is the
Holy Spirit.
That's the reason it took a prophetic
prophet to come down, no
messenger to the age, 'cause the Holy Ghost came Himself in His fullness of the
baptism. But at the end of the age, as it always ends upon
the others, we find there then, the messenger sent; and all these scruples and
things are to be placed in their places (See?), like that. Then the rapture
comes for the Church.
But as many is writing all these
different things: the sun turning to darkness, the moon... They put that way
back there in the Christian age. They just failed to see them three questions
was asked our Lord there (See?), when He answered them.
TRYING.TO.DO.GOD.A.SERVICE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-8 SUNDAY_ 65-0718M
165 Notice how
great God is, how great His works are, how He can never fail. Now, God has a
provided and original way to do things, and He'll never do it contrary to that.
Now, He promised in the last days that
what He would do. And He sent them--us a Message, and
this Message would have the same identification as Elijah had, as Elisha had, as John the Baptist had. And It
would turn the hearts of the people, not to the denomination, but back to the
original, apostolic fathers, back to the Word. And how these
things have been a-vindicated. How that in the sounding of the last angel,

Now, that brings to pass today,
because we have faith. And I know this is of God, is because this and other
Scriptures point to this hour. Revelations 10 said that in the hour of the
seventh angel's message, when
he begins to sound forth his message, not in a healing service, but
the message that follows the healing service...
FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 SUNDAY_ 64-0719M
11-3 Now, if I come with the message
of Pentecost, I'd be in the Laodicean church age, and
it wouldn't be right. That's the reason that Wesley could not take
Luther's message. Luther was in one age--church age, and Wesley was in another
church age. If Jesus would've come in the--with the message of Moses, it would
not have worked. If Moses would've come with the message of Noah, it would not
have worked.
But God has 'lotted
to His--His people of every age a Scripture; and before the age can come into
existence, into time, then the churches has got it so mixed up that they--they
don't know where they're at.
