 From Mortal to Immortality  Me Pt.6 (Recognizing your day)

 

II TIMOTHY 1:9

  9    Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

 

II TIMOTHY 1:10

  10    But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

 

 

GOD.IN.SIMPLICITY_  JEFF.IN  SUNDAY_  63-0317M

  20-3  {113}    It is strange to think how that God does such a thing as that. God will hide Himself in something so simple that'll cause the wise to miss it a million miles and then turn right back around in that, some simple thing in the simplicity of His way of working and reveal Hisself right out again.

I thought it made a--a text that we might study this before we go into the--the--the great teachings of the Seven Seals. Many miss Him by the way He reveals Himself. Now, man has their own ideas of what God ought to be and what God is going to do; and as I have made the old statement many times that man still remains man. Man is always giving God praise for what He did do, and always looking forward to what He will do, and ignoring what He's doing. See, see?

 

GOD.IN.SIMPLICITY_  JEFF.IN  SUNDAY_  63-0317M

  20-5  {114}    That's the way they miss it. They look back and see what a great thing He done, but they fail to see what a simple thing He used to do it with. See? And then they look forward and see a great thing coming that's going to happen, and nine times out of ten, it's already happening right around them, and it's so simple that they don't know it. See?

 

SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_  DENHAM.SP.LA  WEDNESDAY_  64-0318

  E-16    Now, if we looked around tonight, and we'd go back to some of these great churches, all the way down through the age and say, "This is it. This is it." if you don't watch we'll be walking in a glare instead of a light. We're looking at something that passed years past, looking back. Any man who drives the road looking through the rearview mirror will wreck up. That's right. That's right. You take, like some of our sisters trying, fifty years old, trying to look sixteen (See?), you're looking back. Look forward. Look where you're going to. Look where you're going, not what you come from.

Paul said, "Forgetting those things that are in the past, I press towards the mark of the high calling in Christ." You must always look where you're going, not where you been. If you watch the rearview mirror, you will soon wreck up. That's been the trouble. That's the reason that Luther wrecked up when Wesley's light come on. That's the reason that Wesley wrecked up when the Pentecostals come on. And if we don't watch it, the Pentecostals is going to wreck up too, if you just don't keep on your toes to watch.

You see, you're always looking back, referring to what somebody else did back there when we're--when we're commanded to look forward, keep going on. Their prophecy happened in their days; this happens in this day; and next happens in the next day. It's allotted out to the end-time. And there's things that's supposed to be going on now according to the Scripture--the Holy Spirit on earth poured out upon the people.

 

WORLD.AGAIN.FALLING.APART_  SHP.LA  V-17 N-4  WEDNESDAY_  63-1127

And when God... The people gets in trouble, and God answers them, He sends them a anointed prophet or some kind of a messenger, because He cannot go back on His Word that He's destined for that age. But what He does, He sends a messenger to make that part of the Word live to that age: always does it. See? He formed His Word in the beginning. He knowed the end from the beginning. He spoke His Word. And each age, when they get in trouble, they would--they would pray, and God would send an anointed one. And that anointed one would absolutely make that promise of that age, that was foretold for that age, live. And that's what He does all the time. God never changes His program. Now, we never find God changing.

 

SHALOM_  PHOENIX.AZ  V-22 N-1  SUNDAY_  64-0119

  199    How they'd come out in the reformation, they did just exactly that. How he promised in each age it would be, and He promised for this age. And here He is today, making that Word live, just exactly like He did in the beginning. Certainly.

And when every promise is fulfilled, death is swallowed up in victory; Jesus will come. And the last one is vindicated, then there will come an eternal peace upon the earth, and an eternal shalom. An eternal shalom, peace, will rest upon the earth.

When Jesus came, the Prince of Peace, why wasn't there peace? Because all the Word wasn't fulfilled in His day. He's fulfilling It today. But when all of His promised Word, which was a thought of God...

A "Word" is a "thought expressed." God, in His thinking, thought It and expressed It through His prophets, and now It has to be fulfilled. And when He foretold us of these things so we wouldn't make a mistake and blunder in darkness then when we see it being fulfilled...

Now, He promised to send Christ the second time. And whenever He does, when Christ comes the second time, there will be an eternal shalom.

 

 

CHRIST.IS.IDENTIFIED.THE.SAME_  TAMPA.FL  WEDNESDAY_  64-0415

  E-34    Now, how could it be? God In the beginning 'lotted his Word so much for each age. That's the reason He knew the end from the beginning. In each age there was a prophecy allotted for that age. Usually the churches, and so forth, and the groups of people all had it so twisted up, until He would send a prophet on the scene. Now, we know the Bible said that God in sundry times and divers manners spake to the fathers through the prophets; in this last days through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Never... The unchanging God never changes His way of doing things. God has one way of doing things, and He doesn't change at all. When man sinned and fell in the garden of Eden, and God made a way for that man to be--to be saved, He's never changed His way. He accepted that man upon the basis of the shed blood of an innocent one, and He's never changed it since. No matter what we tried to build, towers, Nimrod... And we tried to--we tried to build cities, like Nebuchadnezzar. We've tried to have organization, to make all people in one group. We've tried to educate them into it. We've tried everything in the world to do it, and it's every bit failed.

 

SEED.NOT.HEIR.WITH.SHUCK_  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-4  THURSDAY_  65-0218

  149    Notice, there will be no more carrier, mother churches, denominations, after this carrier shuck, because after the shuck there's no more... There's nothing left but them and just the grain. Is that right? Got to be the grain. It's got to be the same kind that went into the ground: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

A Spirit come upon the Bride to do the same things that He did. See, it's the reproducing again of the grain.

The Word, yet young, spake for Itself. "And know not that I must be about My Father's business?"

There's the secret of the Message now. Just exactly, the Father's business. What is the Father's business? Could you think of what the Father's business was to Him? To fulfill what Isaiah said, "A virgin shall conceive." Fulfill what Isaiah said again, "The lame shall leap like a hart," and all these thing that'd take place; like Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet among you liken unto me." It was the Father's business to fulfill that Word. Well, if that come down through them stalks of them natural women, what about these stalks of these spiritual church women? Churches means women--women means churches, rather. Is that right? Then what is it now? "We must be about the Father's business," the wheat would cry back, the grain. Yes, sir. What must it do? Vindicate Malachi 4; vindicate Luke 17:30; vindicate Hebrews 13:8; vindicate St. John 14:12; vindicate all of His Word: vindicate Hebrews--I mean, Revelation the 10th chapter, of the opening of the Seven Seals; and the mysteries of God, even to serpent's seed, and all would be manifested: Marriage and divorce and all these other mysteries that's been hid under the pillars from all these years from the theologians and so forth, but it's now the hour. That's the Father's business. Think they would receive it? They want to be dignified and say, "Our denomination don't teach us that." But the Bible does. That's right. God vindicates it to be true. Sure it is.

 

INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE_  SHP.LA  V-2 N-15  THURSDAY_  65-1125

  44-1    Now, we're just ready for one thing. That's the coming of the Lord. There's your name on the Book of Life.

The Book of Life is the Word of God, 'cause the Word is God, and God is the only thing that's Life. So your name was represented in the Bible before the Bible become on Word. And if you're here to do that, won't it vindicate that Word? Won't the church vindicate itself? Won't Malachi 4, and all these other things, perfectly, perfectly, vindicate Itself and show that that's what It is?

When Jesus come He said, "If I do not the works that's promised for Me to do, don't believe Me." Which one of the groups did He join? He said, "They all... You're of you are of your father the devil, and his works you do." See, see? We're in the last days, church. That's my Thanksgiving message to you.
