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.
RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0726M
196 And the rich, blinded,
educated Laodicean would put the Word out of their
midst. Have they done it? He said they would. As the prophets of old were sent
to vindicate the promised Word of their days, so that the people who were
predestinated in their day saw It, like the woman at the well, like Nathan,
like blind Bartimaeus, like Peter, and the rest of
them who recognized It... He was that Word and the production. "If I do
not the works that the Father promised I'd do, then
believe Me not. But if I do the works, though you don't believe Me, believe them works; they tell you Who I am." Get
it? All right. Don't miss the day. Sent... Men and
women of other days recognized it, and went in, and were safe.
Pentecostals (Oh,
my.), why don't you recognize your day? Recognize the day of the evening time.
It is here, and it's here to--to vindicate the coming of Christ: to vindicate
it. We're at the end. Recognize your day.
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.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
16-2 Now, God's secret mystery He had before the world
began... Now, back in the back part of God's mind, there was something that He
was trying and was going to achieve, and He had a motive in doing it, in order
to let Himself be expressed. Because first,
there wasn't even a moon, star, atom, molecule, or anything; He was God. But He
exactly wasn't God at that time, because God is an object of worship, and there
wasn't nothing to worship Him. So in His great mind He
wanted these attributes to be expressed. And in Him was love; in Him was to be
Father; in Him was to be Son; in Him was to be a Saviour;
in Him was to be a Healer. And all these great attributes that we see already
expressed, they were in God.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
17-1 Now, God had a purpose and a hidden mystery.
And that's what I want to speak on to the church this morning: the hidden mystery of God that
He had in His mind before the world ever began and how that it's unfolded
itself right down to this present hour that we're living. See? Then
you will understand clearly then (You see?) on, I believe, what is being done.
God's great mystery of how... It's a secret. He kept it a secret.
Nobody knowed nothing about it; even the Angels
didn't understand it. See? He didn't reveal it. That's the reason under our
seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence.
MASTERPIECE.THE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
59 So He begin
now, taking man from His covenants of--of saying that, "If you will, I
will." And He begin with a man called Abraham and give to Abraham a
covenant unconditionally. Every time He'd start a masterpiece, Satan
would get it, because the Word. But when He started with Abraham, He said,
"I have already done it." Now, this is unconditionally, not,
what--that--that, "If you will, I will," but, "I've already done
it." Now, He... The--the Sculptor is determined to have this masterpiece.
Then from Abraham come the patriarchs. And the patriarchs
really... Now, what's God doing? He's rebuilding this masterpiece that had
fallen. So in the patriarchs, the first we find was Abraham.
MASTERPIECE.THE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
61 Now, watch. Every
masterpiece is put on a foundation of sculpture. Angelo's
And now, Abraham was the
foundation of faith. Let's say it had four foundations. The foundation of faith
was Abraham. The foundation of love was Isaac. The foundation of grace was
Jacob (God's grace to Jacob. Anyone knows that). But in Joseph was perfection.
There's where He could set the monument, upon, not the first foundation, the
second foundation, the third foundation, but on the fourth foundation.
MASTERPIECE.THE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
65 Now, the foundations was laid
through faith, love, grace, and to perfection through the patriarchs. Now, the
body work that come on to this great masterpiece was the prophets, which was
the Word (I hope you can read it. See?)--the prophets, not
the laws, the prophets. For the prophets was the
vindicated Word which makes the body, not the patriarchs, the prophets.
They were the Word.
Finally, as He started way back in the days of Moses and come down
through the prophets, to each one, it finally--building up the body, coming
closer all the time... And the greatest of all of them was John. The Bible said
so. Jesus said it: "There's not a man ever born of a woman as great as
John the Baptist," for he was the one that could introduce the Word. And then come finally the great
Head, the Head of all of it. The rest of the body just spoke of It.
MASTERPIECE.THE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
68 The foundation was laid by the patriarch, but the
body was built by the Word, which was the prophets.
And here comes the Head of all of it; Jesus came on the scene. There when this
Headpiece was put upon it, we find in Him the entire handiwork of God. We find
in Him the perfect reflection of the Word, for He was the Word, the fullness of
the Word. Now, again God has the perfect Masterpiece again, as Isaiah said,
"Behold My Servant, My Masterpiece that I have portrayed through all the
ages of this perfect One coming. And here He stands
right before Me, a perfect..." There in His own
image reflecting God, for He said in
