“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.

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.
