II PETER 1:8
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

WATCHMAN.WHAT.OF.THE.NIGHT_ LAKEPORT.CA FRIDAY_ 60-0722
E-67 But as soon as Jesus begin to tell them the truth about the Gospel, what happened? The seventy went away; the others went away. And Jesus' popularity continually fell, until finally they crucified Him. But His ministry growed deeper and deeper, lasted... Made this bread (as I talked of the other night) into the fish; turned right around and put sockets... A--a man's eyes that doesn't have sockets, put eyeballs in.
Now, there was a crowd followed just for the fishes and loaves. They say, "We'll see what He does tomorrow." But their hearts were far away.
And at the end time, how many did He have to go up to receive the Pentecostal blessing, out of the tens of thousands He ministered to? A hundred and twenty, out of the tens of thousands. Now, that Spirit in the world today, performing the same ministry against the same opposition, It'll do the same thing. That's right. But His ministry grows deeper and deeper all the time, greater. Now...
EPHESIAN.CHURCH.AGE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 131-183 MONDAY_ 60-1205
52 Now, these others you might disagree, but I've set there for days and days under inspiration till I felt the Holy Spirit strike me and anoint me for it. That's the reason I know. And watch these men that has been picked, if you're a historian, they... The same men that I have got here, and know by revelation that they was the angels to the church, they had the same ministry that these did at the beginning. And that ministry cannot change; it must stay Pentecost all the way through.
ABRAHAM'S.COVENANT.CONFIRMED_ LONG.BEACH.CA FRIDAY_ 61-0210
E-63 He said, "By this you'll know what My covenant is, Abraham." Abraham being spiritual, knowed it. Why? That's exactly what God did. He took His covenant Seed, which the real Seed was the promised One through faith, come forth out of Isaac, come forth Christ. Christ was God's Covenant. And what He did, He took Him up to Calvary, just like Abraham did his own son a few days afterwards, or a few years afterwards, after he was born. What did He do? He took Him on Calvary and He tore Him apart (Amen.), tore Him apart. He raised His body up on Easter morning and set Him on the right hand of His throne. But the Spirit that was in Him, He sent back down to the church. So the church, when this covenant is brought into its full strength, when the covenant is confirmed with God, the church, the people that goes into this body here to be His Bride, we'll be exactly the same Spirit that was upon Christ, doing the same things, the same ministry, the same power, and it'll come together and be word by word the same: confirming the covenant.
TAKE.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_ SANTA.MARIA.CA SUNDAY_ 62-0701
E-54 Why, it's so... Them rocks laying up there of hundreds of tons, laying up there, it's so close together without mortar that you can't run a razor blade between them. And when the Headstone comes, Christ comes to His temple, it'll have to fit perfect like the rest of it. And the ministry of the Pentecostal church will have to get so perfect till it'll fit right in with the same ministry that He had here, which will take the whole thing in the rapture, being the church. Right.
Now, "When the enemy comes in like a flood, He raises a standard against it." Now, watch. In Eden He gave them His Word for their Armor, just the Word spoke. Then the enemy came in like a flood, and He took the Word and made it flesh to dwell among us, a little stronger. From up there speaking, here He is walking on earth. Glory. Going to call me a holy-roller anyhow, so you might as well get used to it now.
JEHOVAH.JIREH.3_ LOUISVILLE.MS SATURDAY_ 64-0404
E-71 Notice Him, here He--here He come, and Jesus and God became One. They united. Like in Eden where there... Adam and Eve was, in the beginning, the same spirit. Their names was called Adam. See? He was both Adam and Eve together. And when was separated to go the test, what happened? Eve fell by the Word; that was the Word. Adam went out after her to redeem her, but he couldn't do it. He wasn't worthy to redeem her. Then along come the second Adam to redeem the church, which was in shadow in type.
Now, as sure as Adam and Eve had to be the same spirit, Christ and the church has to be the same Spirit, the same ministry: "the things that I do shall you do also." See what I mean? They had to unite together. Flesh and blood and God had to come together and be one Spirit. And Jesus Christ and His church is one Spirit.
MIGHTY.GOD.UNVEILED_ PHIL.PA V-3 N-22 MONDAY_ 64-0629
23-1 And notice, Paul said here, "Changing from glory to glory." You see, finally it comes to its--back to its original glory. It's just like a seed of a morning glory. The seed of a flower, it falls into the ground. The seed of corn falls in the ground. What's the first thing? It comes up, and it's a little sprout; then it goes to a tassel. Then from a tassel back to its original grain.
Well, that's exactly what the church has done. It come from Luther, Wesley, and now, back to the original grain, back to its original glory, back to the glory it was at the beginning. The sun that rose in the east is the same sun that's manifesting the same thing in the west, changing from glory to glory.
It changed from the pagan down into Luther, and from Luther down into Wesley, and from Wesley out into Pentecost, and on and on, changing from glory to glory, producing the hidden manna. And now, it's ripe to bring Him back exactly like He was at the beginning, His same ministry, the same Jesus, the same power, the same Holy Ghost. The same One that come down on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost that's manifested today: from glory, into glory, to glory, and back to its original seed with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the same signs, same wonders, same baptism, same kind of people acting the same way, with the same power, the same sensation. It's from glory unto glory. And the next will be changed from this glory into a body like His own glorious Body where we shall see Him. Abraham saw the same.
MODERN.EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY_ SBD.CA V-7 N-6 MONDAY_ 65-1206
263 Notice now, they had done to Him just exactly what the prophets said they would do, just as they are doing to this very same day in the Laodicean age. If you want to look at it, read Revelations 3: "Blind, naked, and don't know it. Turning Christ..." When He begins to reveal Hisself into the seed form again, the same One that went into the ground come back to be the Bride; just the Bride and the Groom is the same flesh and blood, the same ministry, the same things, doing just exactly what He done; the Spirit...
And here they're impersonating and doing everything else, and each one's got his book and running, and this. And, oh, you never heard such sensations, "And I smell a devil, and all this, that, just as unscriptural as it can be.
SIGN.OF.THE.MESSIAH_ JEFF.IN EM 41-58 SUNDAY_ 59-0329E
50 Now, Lord, all that we have, all that we are... They've stood till their legs are cramping; they've set till they're nearly ready to faint. And now, Lord, let it be known that Thou art God. And I've called this audience together at Your command. And I'm standing here not to be seen, or not to try to be acting big, or doing something different, but it's because it's a commission charged me by an Angel and confirmed by Your Word. Let it be known tonight that You're Jesus Christ, the Son of God, that raised from the dead, and You live in Your Church, in Your people to perform and to carry out the same ministry You had when You were here in the body of flesh. Grant it, Lord. And we'll praise You, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
WATCHMAN.WHAT.OF.THE.NIGHT_ LAKEPORT.CA FRIDAY_ 60-0722
E-40 Oh, you morning stars, rise and shine! It's time to shine; the coming of the Lord is at hand. Reflecting His Presence, reflecting the oncoming Son, giving the same signs, Jesus said it was, "As it was in the days of Sodom; it'll be the same thing in the coming of the Son of man."
The same ministry that the Son went down in (the same Light He went down in) is coming again in the resurrection power, and the Morning Star is reflecting that Light. Then we cry, "Watchman, what of the night?" Hallelujah!
"The morning cometh, and the night also." Now we're in the dark time, the Laodicean church age: man, lukewarm; not able to stand the things of God. They pull themself off, separating, like it was in the days of Noah. But the morning star shines right on them just the same. The power of God, the Holy Spirit...
WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ SPOKANE.WA THURSDAY_ 62-0712
E-84 "Sirs, We Would See Jesus." What more would it be, if a man come in here with blood over him, and nail scars, and things... Jesus, when He comes, every eye shall see Him, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess when the Body of Jesus returns. I believe in His literal coming, corporal body, descending from the heavens with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, the trump of God. The dead in Christ shall rise. But His Spirit is here with us.
And as the church, like the pyramid, comes into a--a point, so has
the church in the days of Luther, days of Wesley, days of Pentecostal. And now just before the Headstone comes into it, that
church has to be honed so perfect, till the
same ministry that He did here, His same Spirit, so predominant, will bring
that same Body right into it, and resurrect the whole thing. That's exactly. Amen. Glory to God.
AS.I.WAS.WITH.MOSES_ JEFF.IN V-16 N-2 SUNDAY_ 60-0911M
322 And that I accomplished more this morning by the message that I've had and the things as I have knowed, I've--I've followed the commission more than I've accomplished in the last five years, because I have found the center of God's will.
Now, it may be a hard thing for me to change from one ministry to another. But it isn't changing the ministry; it's taking the same ministry in a higher sphere. It's the original commission. All these other things have been building upon that. Now's the time.
With all my heart, I'm believing for every person that I pray for. I believe they're going to be well. And with all the evidence that we have, everything that God has showed of year after year of infallible proof of the Bible living again, then how could it fail? It just can't fail.
JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME_ SIOUX.FALLS.SD SATURDAY_ 56-0225
E-60 "And the things that I do shall you also; more than this shall you do; for I go to My Father." Is that right? The word there in King James means--is greater, but the righted translation is--is more, 'cause you couldn't do greater. He--He raised the dead and stopped the nature, and done everything. Not greater in quan--quality, but greater in quantity. "More that this shall you do; for I go to My Father." Amen.
I'm late. Did the disciples do it? The same ministry that Jesus had, the apostles carried on just exactly like they always did. The apostles...
There was Paul going down through Samaria, to Da--Damascus, rather, to arrest the people. And God had a man down there named Ananias. And he was praying, and he showed him a vision. And he came in, and spoke to Paul, and told him that Jesus had appeared to him on the road; he'd saw it in a vision. That right?
Look at Peter on the housetop who saw the vision to go up to Cornelius' house.
BE.NOT.AFRAID.IT.IS.I_ BEAUMONT.TX MONDAY_ 61-0123
E-2 These handkerchiefs here that's sent up here to be prayed over, now, we reverently believe in praying for these cloths. Now, we remember that this is a Bible doctrine to pray over these cloths. Now, many people anoint them with oil and send them back to the patients. We send thousands of them a month around the world. And if you don't have one in here, if you just write our office why, we'll sure send it to you free of charge, no charges for anything we do. So...
In the Bible, if you'll bear with me, I believe, Scripturally, Paul never prayed over them or anointed them; they taken from his body. I believe Paul was Scriptural, don't you think so? Would you like to know where I think he got that from? Elijah one time, when a baby was dead, Elijah said to Gehazi, "Take my staff and go, lay it on the child." Now, Elijah knew that the Holy Spirit upon him, and everything he touched was blessed. And he said, "Take this staff and lay it on the baby." I think there's where Paul got the idea of laying--taking handkerchiefs and aprons from his body, because I wouldn't think that Saint Paul would do anything unscriptural. So he sent...
Now, we realize, that we're not Saint Paul. But He's still Jesus. See? He's still God. So God, being no respect of persons, He sends your pastors, and evangelists, and things along, that you might have the same faith in the same God that Saint Paul represented. And then if we have the same ministry that Saint Paul had, the same things take place in our ministry, take places--took place in Saint Paul's meeting.
WATCHMAN.WHAT.OF.THE.NIGHT_ LAKEPORT.CA FRIDAY_ 60-0722
E-39 What is it? The morning star, the Church of the living God today, who's the watchman on the tower warning the nations and the people. It stands alone; a man that stands for God, stands alone. But what's he doing? He's reflecting the same Light of the Son that went down years ago and is rising again. What is that true Church's ministry? The ministry of that Church will be the ministry of the Son, because it's a reflection of the same Son power, and the same Son light, that the world will know when the Son rises, what It'll look like.
Oh, for a church today. Someone who'll stand in the tower. "Watchman, what of the night?"
"The morning star is shining." It's ready to reflecting the light the sun's a shining on the star. Now, it isn't the church; it isn't the person. It's the sun that's a reflecting on the star that reflects the sunlight to the earth. Now, it's not the church, it's the Holy Spirit, the coming of the Son of God that's reflecting in the Church that's proving His power. He's doing exactly the same thing. The same ministry He did when He left the earth, He's here tonight doing the same thing, reflecting His coming! Reflecting what? Not the paleness of the moon, but reflecting the same signs. What comes to pass? Not the moon, the star--the morning star hails the coming of the sun.
