In every age, (and every age is the age of the Holy Ghost
for the true believer)--I say, in every age the evidence was the same. Those
who had the Spirit, the Teacher, heard the Word, and that Spirit in them took
the Word and taught it (revealed it) to them; and they were of the group that
heard the messenger and his message and took it and lived it.

E-11 And that's been my theme through the years.
I read that same Scripture when I was here before. And I hope to read it until
death shall take me from the earth. Because, I do solemnly believe that with
all my heart, that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's called in the Bible, "The Alpha and Omega; He
that Was, Which is, and Shall Come." That makes Him the same yesterday,
today, and forever. "He that Was, He that Is, and
Shall come," just the same. He never changes. We change; time change; but
God never changes.
I was having my dinner today, or I think you call it your lunch. I
always miss out if I call that lunch and call supper dinner, because I been used to used to having breakfast, dinner, and supper.
And if I call this lunch, then I feel like I've missed my dinner somewhere my
supper somewhere, along the road. So believe it or not, I was with a Catholic
priest having dinner today. And we were talking about the--how that times had
changed so much in the past few years.

MIGHTY.GOD.UNVEILED_ PHIL.PA V-3 N-22
MONDAY_ 64-0629
5-1 Back in the Old Testament we find out that
God veiled Himself from unbelievers. God has a very odd way of dealing with
people. He hides Himself from the unbeliever and reveals Himself to the
believer. God does that. Jesus thanked the Father that He had hid these things
from the wise and prudent and would reveal it to babes such as would learn. So we find
that God never changes in His nature, and He's always doing His work the same. We find out in Malachi 3 that He said, "I
am God, and I change not." So He works in the same principle all the time.
66-3 EPHESIAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.3
The key given me of the Lord whereby I was able to determine the
messenger for each age is a most Scriptural one. In fact it might be called the
Keystone of the Bible. It is the revelation that God never changes, and that His ways are as unchangeable as He is. In Heb. 13:8 it
says "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever".
Ecclesiastes 3:14,15, "I know that, whatsoever
God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken
from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before Him. That which hath
been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past." Here it is: an
unchanging God with unchanging ways. What He did at the FIRST He will have to
keep on doing until it is done for the LAST time. There will never be a change.
Apply that to the Church Ages. The kind of man that God chose
for the first age, and how God manifested in that man's ministry, would be the
example for all other ages. What God did in the first church age is what
He wants to do in all other ages.

that's able to keep you from falling, to Him that's able to hold your heart in
grace, may He shed His blessings upon you. May you never forget that we're
living in the last days of the last church age, where it's predicted to be a
lukewarm church age, just halfhearted about It. And stop being halfhearted. Really come to Christ, with all
your heart.
I ain't telling you what church to join.
That don't have... God will never ask you that in the
judgment. No, sir. He don't care what church you
belong.
He wants you; it's an individual. And you must be borned again and receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or
you're gone. See? You're just playing church; you're just impersonating until
you actually have an experience of being borned
again.

E-10 The Holy Spirit was upon the
Church at Pentecost, come right down through the age, and right on down through
the age to the Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, and on down through, on into this
age here. It's still the same Holy Spirit. When people's faith
get up into a place they'll get the blessings, to realize it's theirs, then the
same operation of the Holy Spirit will be operating in the Church like It did
back there, just the same. Now, listen to this closely:

50 Same Holy Spirit that saved the Lutherans, that sanctified
the Methodists, that baptized the Pentecostals, is now setting in order the
coming of the Lord Jesus. When it'll be so powerful, that
Body will come into this group of church that'll draw the rest of them from the
grave. There'll be a
resurrection. That's what the Holy Ghost is for.
What is the Holy Ghost? Without us they cannot be made perfect.
They lived in one day under that; we live in another day. "When the enemy
comes in like a flood, I'll--the Spirit of God will raise a standard against
it." See?

91 And Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost, went about doing
good. Is that right? And the same Holy Spirit was upon Jesus, came right back
into the church on the day of Pentecost, comes right back into the next age,
the next age, the next age. And what is It? The same and one-self Holy Spirit. Oh, don't you see God above us, in the Father;
God with us, in the Son; God in us, in the Holy Ghost. It's
three offices, and not three gods. See? Those three titles, Father, Son, and
Holy Ghost, belongs to one Name: Jesus Christ. All right.

99 Then if that was Christ's Holy Spirit came
on the day of Pentecost that did those things, it's Christ's Holy Spirit been
pushed out here, Christ's Holy Spirit still holding in here, Christ's Holy
Spirit still holding here, on down here and to the end of the world. The same
Holy Spirit that filled Paul with the Holy Ghost and the things that he done,
will fill this one, Irenaeus full of the Holy Ghost,
fill Martin full of the Holy Ghost, fill the rest of them full of the Holy
Ghost, and It fills you and I full of the Holy Ghost, and it's a Pentecostal
blessing from one church age to the other: Alpha and Omega, the End and the
Beginning, and All, Root and Offspring of David, Morning Star, Rose of Sharon,
Lily of the Valley, whatevermore, Father, Son, Holy
Ghost, He that Was, Which Is, and Shall Come, the Alpha, Omega, All, All in
all. Oh, my. That would make me sing a song.

seven trumpets, there was voices of the seven stars, seven messengers. But now
watch here:
... and seven lamps... before the throne,
which are the seven spirits of God.
"Seven lamps..." Let's draw a little bit here: the
throne, the holy place, the congregation. Right here was one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, seven stars, seven lamps, seven messengers, seven Spirits;
not altogether meaning that God's in seven Spirits, but seven manifestations of
the same Holy Spirit.
Where's the Holy Spirit? Here at the throne, shining out in
each church age. This church age is reflecting back this a-way the voices of God,
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. See, seven... There was voices and seven lamps on fire, seven Spirits--which are
the seven Spirits of God."

113 And now, we've left the Pentecostal age.
Now, we are coming to where like in the pyramid. Not pyramid doctrines now, but
I mean like as the pyramid. The Headstone when it comes to fit, it's got to be
honed. There's got to be a ministry in the Church, the true Church of the
living God to where when the Headstone comes, Christ, or the ministry of
Christ, and Christ will fit right in together perfectly. Then that brings back
the redeemed to take the whole House of God to glory; the Methodist, Baptist,
and Presbyterian, through the great reformation ages, that
come out and gave their lives in persecutions and things for the
Now, we see these signs, as we see the ministry from Christ
beginning to narrow up now to the complete ministry of Christ in the Fulness of the Holy Spirit. Under Luther it was same Holy Spirit,
justification; then sanctification under Wesley, the messages; then the baptism
of the Holy Spirit, making three. Three, not three steps of grace, but three
stations, I might call it.

E-122 Now, the Bible says (Now the ministers will
witness this), the Bible says that Jesus Christ is a High Priest right now,
that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities (Is that true?), a High
Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. He is right now.
Well, then, if He is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our
infirmities, how would that High Priest act when He was touched?
If He's the same Jesus that He was back there, He'd act the same
way. He can't change His ways. He can't. If He said back there, "Well, I
saved them because of--that they believed on Me; but
today I--I'm going to save them because they got a lot of money," He can't
do that. He's got to ever remain with His first attitude. See? When God ever makes a decision, it's perfect. It can
never be changed no more. God never changes His program. See?
248-5 SARDISEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.7
To begin with, we know for a certainty that these verses are not
teaching a new and contrary doctrine to John 4:24a "God is A (one)
Spirit." But this is like I Corinthians 12:8-11 wherein we find ONE Spirit
manifesting Himself in NINE ways. Thus we know that the seven
Spirits of God mean it is the one and same Spirit coming forth in a sevenfold
way. Now in Revelation 4:5 these same seven Spirits are called
'lamps of fire burning' before the Lord. Since John always used nothing but Old
Testament symbols in the Revelation we go to the Old Testament and find from
Proverbs 20:27 that "the spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord."
These seven Spirits are found to be associated with man. John the Baptist in
John 5:35 was called a 'burning light' which should actually be translated as
'burning lamp.' Again in Revelation 5:6 the seven Spirits are identified as
seven eyes. In Zechariah 4:10, "For who hath despised the day of small
things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the
plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven,
they are the eyes of the Lord." It is very evident that the word, 'they'
refers to men. Thus we see that the eyes of the Lord in this instance are
men--of course they will be anointed men, full of the Holy Ghost, for God's
ministries are not in the power of men but of the Holy Ghost. Putting our Scriptural discoveries together it is evident
that the seven Spirits of God refer to the continuous ministry of the same Holy
Spirit in the lives of seven men with whom God identifies Himself very closely.
They are His eyes, and they are His lamps. Who these seven men are can easily
be seen because the next phrase calls them the seven stars which are already
known to us as the seven messengers to the seven ages. How beautiful that is.
See, the star was meant to reflect light at night, for the sun has gone. Just
so the messenger (typified as a star) to each age was to reflect the light of
the Son. They all did this by the Holy Spirit.

46 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?
