Dale
LUKE 2:25
25 ¶
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon; and
the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and
the Holy Ghost was upon him.
LUKE 2:26
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy
Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
LUKE 2:27
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple:
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom
of the law,
LUKE 2:28
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and
blessed God, and said,
LUKE 2:29
29 Lord, now lettest
thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy
word:
LUKE 2:30
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
JOHN 7:37
37 ¶
In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
JOHN 7:38
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture
hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
JOHN 7:39
39 (But this spake
he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy
Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

SUNDAY_ 63-0825E
48 Now, other words, I'm venturing out,
"Well, I'll go. The Bible said, 'Call the elders, let them anoint with
oil, and pray over him.' I know I'll go up." And you say, "Well, I'm
going to be healed." See, you're making yourself; if you don't watch now, you're going to make yourself just--just worked up. And
then when you pass through, you say, "Oh, I--I still don't see..."
Well, see, there you was, you didn't have faith.
Your genuine faith will do it right there. Your--your genuine
faith will make it so real to you that... Look at that little woman with the
blood issue; she said, "If I can only touch the border of His garment,
I'll be made well." And as soon as she did it, she said she felt within herself
that her blood issue stopped. She actually believed it.
And when she touched It... To prove that
it stopped--it stopped, Jesus turned and said,
"Who touched Me?" That perfect faith... And that same perfect faith
tonight will touch Jesus Christ just as it did then. The woman come with a perfect faith for that time.
51 Now, now, we see at first the disciples
didn't have this perfect faith. They didn't have it, because they'd had Christ,
walking with Him; but then afterwards, Christ was in them. And so (You see?), it's hard then to have this perfect faith without the
Holy Spirit; It has to bring it; It does. Now, you say,
"The disciples didn't have perfect faith?" No; for they had an
epileptic child there that they were trying to cast this devil out of him, and
they couldn't do it.
And the father seen Jesus coming, and he said, "We have
brought my son to--to Your disciples, and they could
not cure him." See?
And afterwards, the disciples asked Jesus, saying, "Why could
not we cure him?"
And Jesus said, "Because, of the lack of faith, of your
unbelief." That's right. "Because of your unbelief that..."

SUNDAY_ 65-0725M
53 You said, "It wasn't a
revelation." What is faith? Faith is something that's revealed to you,
that is not yet, but you believe it will be. Faith is a revelation
of the will of God. So by revelation...
And the churches today don't even believe in spiritual revelation.
They believe in a dogmatic teaching of some system. "By revelation Abel
offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than that of Cain, which God
testified he was righteous." Amen. I hope you see
that. See where we're living, see the hour?

THURSDAY_ 65-1125
24-1 What is a--what is a revelation? Jesus
said, "Upon this Rock I'll build My church, and
the gates of hell can't prevail against it." Faith is a
revelation, because faith has been revealed to you. Abel, by faith offered by
revelation (faith) offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than that of Cain.
Cain thought they eat apples. They still got that idea, but it
wasn't. It was adultery: serpent's seed. And there, when the Seven Seals
opened, it declared it and proved it. (My book's just
out on it. I think we have got a thousand here now. See?) Notice, that's
Scripturally from Genesis to Revelations. At the end-time both trees are coming
to the seed and proving themselves.

FRIDAY_ 65-1126
105 Now, "faith" is a
"revelation from God." Now, "faith" is a
"revelation." There's where I want to stay there just a moment. It's
a revelation. He has revealed it to you by His grace. It's nothing you did. You
didn't work yourself up into faith. You never had faith; it's give to you by
the grace of God. And God reveals it to you; therefore, faith is a revelation.
And the whole
RAPTURE.THE_ YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14
SATURDAY_ 65-1204
65 But to the church, the Bride, the rapture
is a revelation to her. It's revealed to her, that the revelation, the true
Bride of Christ will be waiting for that revelation of the rapture.
Now, it is a revelation, for the revelation is faith. You
cannot have a revelation without it being faith. Faith is a revelation, because
it's something that's revealed to you. Faith is a revelation. Faith is something
that has been revealed to you like it was to Abraham, that
could call anything contrary to what had been revealed to him as though it
wasn't so. Now, faith... That's what faith is, is the revelation of God. The
church is built upon a revelation, the whole entire body.

22-1 Patience, and so forth, there's a mockery
of it, a pretending to be, a nature given faith, a nature given virtue. There's
a nature given temperance. And all these things are nature given.
And the biggest part of our faith is mental faith. By
hearing the Word it brings us to a mental recognition of God. But if this coming from above, oh, brother, if it ever strikes
this, there is a godly, spiritual faith. Then what does that
faith do? That faith recognizes only the Word. No matter what anything else
says, it only recognizes the Word, because "In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (And the
Word's still God.) And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among
us." And when the word Itself is pouring into our
faith, our mental faith becomes a spiritual revelation. "And upon this
foundation I'll build My Church," (See?), not upon a mental conception of
church joining, a mental conception of that, but upon the revelation. When them streams of grace has poured into that mental faith that
you've got, then upon this, a spiritual revelation, "I'll build My Church
and the gates of hell can't prevail against it." See? That shows they
would be against it, but it'll never prevail. Oh, what a glorious thing.

SUNDAY_ 62-1104M
23-4 And then, that was number one. Number one,
coming to you, your mental faith, right here, comes the Holy Spirit, coming
down into your mental faith making it a spiritual faith. Then the spiritual
faith only recognizes the Word.
Now, and number two--three: Then you'll have spiritual, you'll
be--have the Holy Spirit, and will seal all these things into you, as that Holy
Spirit covers this. From your faith up to the Holy Spirit seals you in with
Christ; then you become one. Amen. (Get this thing out of my way. It's hard on
your arms.) You become one. See, you and Christ live together. "At that
day you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in Me, I in you, and you in Me." See? Then that's a sealed unit of the
Lord God. Now, and then they are vindicated and placed. When that time takes
place, they become vindicated sons and daughters of God.

E-7 Now, we--we reason with our mind, but the
heart doesn't reason. The heart just believes. We look with our eyes, but we
see with our heart. Do you look... You take something
complicated, you say, "I just don't see it." You--You mean you don't
understand it. See? Your understanding comes from your heart. You have your
understanding.
Now, many times, I know all Christians know this,
that people will think, "Well, it just can't happen, but yet, in my
heart there's something tells me, that it's going to happen." Did you ever
have that experience, you Christians? Sure, you have. That's that inside man
thinking. It cast down reasons; it doesn't have anything to do with the
reasoning, because with--with God, words should not be reasoned. We cannot reason
out God. God is never known by science, never is God known by--by mental
powers. God is only known by faith. Knowledge will never get a man to God;
knowledge takes him away from God.

E-14 Now, what if he'd have walked away and say,
"I... You know, that's mental telepathy. I've got to study that thing
out." You'll never figure God out, so you might as well forget about it
now. You've got to believe it. God is not known no other way
but by faith. You have to accept it.
Then there was a woman coming out from the well to get some water,
about eleven o'clock in the day. Probably she'd been out all night and didn't
get up early enough. Or maybe she was so ashamed of herself,
she didn't go out with the respectable ladies. But she came to get some water
from the well. And when she did, why, there Jesus was setting at the well.
And she came up, and He spoke to her, and said, "Bring Me a
drink."
And she said, "It is not customary for You
to..."
He talked to her a little while, and He said one word, "Go
get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
Said, "You had five."
She said, "I perceive that You're a
prophet."
She went into the city and said, "Come and see a Man that
told me all the things I ever done." See?

E-16 In the garden of
Eden there were two trees, one of them was the knowledge. And
the other one the Tree of Life. And when man left the Tree of Life and
took the first bite off the tree of knowledge, he separated himself from God.
And now he bit off gunpowder, destroys himself. He bit
off an electricity, pulling the coal from the earth,
where un--beneath it, is eight thousand miles of burning volcano, and these...
Now, he's bit hisself off automobile, kills
more people than all the wars. He's got hisself a
hydrogen bomb now; I wonder what he's going to do with that. He's still biting
from that tree of knowledge. And every time he bites, he just separates himself
away, destroys himself.
And God is not known by knowledge, God's known by faith;
by faith, you believe. Not try to figure it out, you just believe. And that's
the way God is known. God bless you.

E-13 Now, in the garden
of Eden there were two trees. One of them was the tree of knowledge; one was
the Tree of Life. And man can never know God by knowledge. So no matter how
well you get educated, how smart your pastor is, how
many degrees he's taken, you can't... God is not known by education, neither is He known by scientific research; the
only way God is known is by faith. No matter if you don't know
the difference between split beans and coffee, if you absolutely by faith
accept God and... It's bound to be an act of faith.
And when man was eating on this Tree of Life, he had Eternal Life.
But when he left that Tree of Life and went on the tree of knowledge, the first
bite he took, he separated his fellowship with God, and every time that he
bites off of that tree of knowledge, he destroys himself.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7
SUNDAY_ 63-0728
45-1 Notice, God holds this key alone. No
theologian can tell you. It's not known; it's hid from them. They know nothing
about it. So the schools... "Well," you say, "I got a Ph.
LL.D." You only make... To me and I believe unto God and to any real, true
believer, that means you're just that much farther away; you just backed off. God is not known by education; He's not known by how to
explain it.
God is known by simplicity and of revelation of Jesus Christ in
the most illiterate person. See? Not your theology; it's a revelation of Jesus
Christ. "Upon this rock, I'll build My Church." No other rock's
accepted; no other thing's accepted; no other Roman rock; no other Protestant
rock; no other school; no other nothing; but on exactly the revelation of Jesus Christ
in a new birth. He born in there and injects His own Life, and your life is
gone, and the Life of Christ is projecting Itself through you with the preeminences to the people that they see the very Life, and
works, and signs and wonders that He did is doing the same thing through you.
Outside of that, the rest of it's not even called to at all.

E-24 Now, God is not known by
intellectual faith. God is known by the experience of new birth, only alone.
Jesus said, "Except a man be born again of the
Spirit of God, he cannot even see the
You--you say, "I... Looking at something or other, say,
"I just don't see it." You mean; you don't understand it; you're
looking right at it. You look with your eyes, but understand with your heart.
That's right. You can't understand it. And no man can know nothing of God,
until first you're borned of the Spirit of God.
The Bible said, "No man can call Jesus, Christ." Only by
the Holy Spirit is the only thing that... You can say, "Well, I believe
He's the Son of God." If you haven't been born again, you're taking
somebody's word for it. You say, "The Bible said so." That's right;
the Bible's right, but what about you? You say, "The preacher said
so." The preacher's right, but what about you?
"Mother said so." Mother's right, but what about
you? It's a personal experience of your own that you've got to be borned again or you'll never understand God.
UNFAILING.REALITIES.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-16 N-1
SUNDAY_ 60-0626
74 The Holy Spirit comes today in like manner
to present God to man; but man wants to go to church. It--it--it drowns
his--his--his thinking. He cannot--he cannot fathom it. And we must learn that
God is not known by intellectual conception. God is known by the new birth, by the Holy
Ghost, not by any other way. Jesus, the Bible has plainly quoted us that,
"No man can call Jesus the Christ, only by the Holy Ghost." And if
you've never received the Holy Ghost, you don't know that He is the Christ, for
that's the only way He reveals Himself.
You're not converted until you receive the Holy Ghost. The Bible
said so. After Peter had both been saved and sanctified, give power to cast out
unclean spirits, and to preach the Gospel, Jesus plainly told him he was not
converted, until he received the Holy Ghost. And He said, "After you're
converted, then strengthen your brethren." That was on the night of the
betrayal, that he was not yet converted. And no man is truly converted until
he's been changed, and died to himself, and the Holy Spirit has control of that
person. They don't want to do it.

E-32 We'll never be able to ever educate people
to Christ. Societies today (and most what we call societies) has produced more
criminals than all the--the scalawags of the earth has done. The most criminal
minded people comes out of what is known now as
society, according to the FBI records. Now... And then
educate them? They get so smart till they think they can outsmart the law; they
know more than somebody else. Education is wonderful. It's the thing...
I'm not trying to support ignorance, but I'm trying to say this:
That education has... It's been one of the greatest hindrance
that religion of Christ has ever had. People are taking and using their schools
of theology to try to educate people for well speaking, and how to present
themselves, and so forth; and they go plumb away from the Spirit. God is not known by education; God is not known by
denomination; God is not known by creed. God is known by faith and that alone!
It's by faith are we saved. God is known by faith.
PATMOS.VISION_ JEFF.IN ROJC 69-130
SUNDAY_ 60-1204E
71 Now, ask God to... While we're talking on
Revelations, ask Him to give you a revelation of this. For it can only be known by revelation, and you can only
be saved by revelation. You have a knowledge of it intellectually, but you can't be saved
until it's revealed to you. "No man can call Jesus the
Christ, only by the Holy Ghost." That's what the Bible says. No man can
say Jesus is the Christ until he has received the Holy Ghost. He might say, "The
pastor said so; the Bible said so." Them are
true. "The church says so." That is true. But you don't know yourself
until the Holy Ghost has revealed it to you, and He's become in you. "No
man can call Jesus the Christ, only by the Holy Ghost." Not by knowledge,
not by intellectual.
