1975-07-NOR#7-LV The Spirit in this Age - Norway-SatMorn

It was a great privilege to hear Brother Frank last night.

It was a wonderful example of what I believe.

Although what I believe does not make it right.

But he showed most conclusively that once you see this message, that's all you will see in the Word.

I've had the privilege of reading the early church fathers.

And I found they always reached back in the Old Testament.

In such a way that it aroused my admiration.

If you read the epistles of Clement.

That's another seller. Or of Justin Martyr. You will see how they used the Old Testament.

To bring out the New Testament doctrine.

Their ability was so fantastic.

That it had to be of the Holy Spirit. But he's the same yesterday, today and forever.

And the true evidence of the Holy Ghost is to teach us the word of the hour.

So if we are baptized with the Holy Spirit he will teach us all things we need to know.

He will show us things to come. Lead us deep in the truth. He was given for that purpose.

And the evidence of anything is that it fulfills its purpose.

Now surely this morning if we are full of the Holy Spirit we will see this message. This message will go right to the Word. And everything in the Word will open up to us and declare this message.

So we certainly praise the Lord for that.

Now I have a little problem this morning.

My mind is sort of swirling.

Because there are so many things that I would like to say.

For example, Brother Branham said,

The greatest problem in this age to understand is to understand the difference between the coming and the appearing.

Now Brother Branham told us what it was.

Now I wonder if you know what the difference is.

I will not teach on it this morning.

But let me advise you. You must seek and find out.

Because here is the difference between the fundamental believer and the true believer.

Here under the seven seals is an absolute correction because Christ absolutely does appear.

Then he will come. And that appearing is not the rapture as many people say.

The rapture is the actual coming.

Because he leaves from before the throne.

And he comes right down. To the cloud. And we'll meet him in the air. And of course he appears in the symbol to Israel.

As the brother Branham said. You say explain it. I can't do it. I just believe it. It's somewhere in the Bible. And if I'm to find it, I'll find it.

But in the meantime, like Abraham, I believe it. And then later on he appears. He shows them his hands. I don't understand all that. I couldn't preach on it. But he said it. It's in the Bible. And if I need to know it,

I'm going to find it. That's a good kind of a confidence. See, I trust in the prophet.

He has discussed the war. God answered back to him.

He said, if I tell you a lie,

I am a hypocrite. I heard another man say that. I challenged his statement. I challenged his statement. The man was wrong. The best he could say is this. If I tell you a lie. I am sorry. I was sincere. But I was wrong. But as a prophet like you are. He was a hypocrite.

Then he was a real hypocrite. Because you see he could go to God.

And he could get the answer. Then if he got the answer. And came back and told us something wrong.

Then he was a hypocrite. Now you didn't catch what I said. I know you didn't catch what I said. Because some of you don't believe that. You don't believe he said exactly the truth.

Because you want to look and find some other ideas.

I don't want to hurt your feelings.

But either he lied or he didn't lie.

Either he said it and meant it or he was a hypocrite.

And I don't put the word to a test.

It's been tested. I believe it. Faith comes by hearing. And hearing by the word of God. But what is the word of God? Anybody can read the Bible. Does that mean it's the word of God? Perfectly interpreted it is.

imperfect interpretation, resting of the scripture, adding the word, or taking the word, get no longer the word, because God will not back it up.

He stands behind his word to perform it.

He's not going to perform anything but his own understanding of his word.

Now I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. But I know what people go through. There was a time when I didn't believe. I told you the first night I was here.

Brother Branagh said to his wife concerning me.

He's not a believer yet. But we'll make one of you. It took a while to do it. We would talk back and forth on the word.

I listened to him politely.

He listened to me politely.

And I would walk away an unbeliever.

But the day came. When I saw that God spoke back to this man. And I began to realize. What kind of a God is God? If he would speak back to just anybody.

And I knew this man had to be somebody.

What if somebody came to you?

And they said, leave, they will give you ten acres of land.

For $10 an acre.

And you come to me with $100. You say, here's $100 for 10 acres. And I say, where did you get that from? You say, so -and -so said so. I say, ah -ah -ah, they told you wrong.

I'm not going to back that word up. You don't get my teenagers. I'm just an ordinary fellow. I was born a liar. As Brother Branham said. Born is sin. Come into the world speaking lies. And yet I won't let anybody get away with making me a liar. I will not let.

I will not back up somebody's word that I didn't give the word to.

Now just think of God. We've said a lot of things about him.

We've said he can't lie. He's honorable. Honorable.

He doesn't ask counsel of anybody.

He doesn't listen to anybody. And he's absolutely honest. And he stands behind his words. Then here comes a man like William Brannan. And he speaks in the name of the Lord.

And he says thus saith the Lord.

And this God. Whatever kind of a God he is. And we're supposed to know what kind of a God he is.

Answers right back. I become very serious. I must accept it word by word. I must take his word as the perfect mechanics.

There are many mechanics. False mechanics.

And they're even anointed. But there is a true mechanic. That will also be anointed. And it's going to bring forth a resurrection.

And you and I are going to be in it. This God backed up his word. And we claim to know him. We believe in his honor and integrity.

Then when he backs up the prophet's word.

Then it's no longer the prophet's word. It's God's own word. Because he backs up nobody's word.

Only his own word. He stands behind his word. To perform it. I now ask you this question.

Was it the word of God he brought or wasn't it?

Then there is no argument. There is no fussing. There is believing it. We might not understand it. But we must not try to have our own way.

I live in constant fear, my brother.

Because I deal with this word.

How will I stand before God? If I do not say exactly what he said. If I do not go exactly to this word. And this is where he got his messages. And teach that very thing.

We need the obedience of faith.

There's a lot of obedience. But the obedience of faith is to the revelation the prophet gave.

We have just about one hour.

And perhaps I can just read some notes.

And we'll finish a little message.

Before we do shall we pray. Gracious Heavenly Father.

We know you sent a prophet. Anybody would know that. Even the Hindus would know it.

But we know he's your prophet.

Because you answered to his word. And we know you answered to no one's word but your own.

So this is your word. Now I'm going to try to speak this morning, Lord.

You've got to help me to stay with this word.

And if I should say something wrong. Stop me before I say it, Lord. Better send me from this place, O God.

Not for my own good. Although that could be true. But for the good of the people. So help us all together now to be very sober and serious and to see the light in which we walk. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. The message this morning is the spirit of the age.

And we read in Jeremiah chapter 13.

13th chapter.

Jeremiah, the 13th chapter.

The 15th and 16th verses. Hear and give ear. That was just hear and give ear, chapter 13. 15 and 16. Hear and give ear. Yes, yes, good. Hear and give ear. Do not be overconfident, for the Lord has spoken. Give the Lord your God's glory.

In the book of Malachi, the second chapter, it warns us, therefore take heed to your spirit.

Spirit. In order that you deal not treacherously. That word may be translated faithlessly.

So God is warning us. To watch our spirits carefully.

Lest we walk apart from the revelation.

Now we want to talk about that spirit this morning.

And we can understand it this way. Brother Branham said that the soul gives the nature to the spirit and the spirit gives the nature or manifestation to our flesh.

So we are warned about how we conduct ourselves.

How careful we are concerning the revelation.

Now you will notice Jeremiah gave us a stern warning.

He said, hear ye and give ear.

Which means listen and pay attention. Open your mind to my words. Open your understanding to my words. Be not proud. Now we know one of the great sins in this world is the pride of life. The devil fell by being proud.

So we are told here, watch our spirit.

When it comes to this revelation, do not be proud. Watch your spirit. Don't get big ideas.

Don't think you know it all.

Don't lift up your word against my revelation.

Because you've been taught something else. Because you've studied out something for yourself.

And notice how he puts it. For the Lord has spoken.

Get the understanding here now. When God speaks. It must come in such a way that the majority of people will not pay any attention to it because God is not taking as it were a great club and hitting people with it. Or using some great catastrophe.

Or using something of such magnitude.

As a voice screaming out of heaven.

Every year. He doesn't do it that way. It comes in such a still small way. In such a humble way.

It goes right over their heads. Yet God has spoken. And the greatest problem of all is that God uses a man. And they look at that man. And they say, who's he? Well, he's just nobody. I don't like him. I don't like his weight.

I don't like his nationality. I don't like his color.

See, he's a man. And God speaks by man. God was in the prophet. And God was speaking. So the scripture says, Give glory to the Lord your God. How? By coming fully into the Word.

For God has spoken. And for you to listen and understand and obey.

Proves that you've got the right spirit.

And that's simple. Now supposing you were God. And you were looking down on people. And you had this way to bring them a word.

Wouldn't you be wonderfully happy to see people like that?

Surely you would. Now he says, prove your spirit.

Because if you don't, remember this. God will cause darkness to come. He shows us this in Romans 1 and 21.

They turned down God who spoke in his prophets and they went into total darkness.

This is the same thing we find in the book of Timothy. Paul speaks of darkness of mind. And when the mind becomes darkened, the feet will stumble upon the high mountain. What are those high mountains? The beautiful revelations of God. Because that's what he's talking about. The highest thing in this world is the word of God.

The highest thing in the kingdom of God is the word of God. The highest thing man has.

And up there he thinks his thoughts. And he likes to put his thoughts above the thoughts of God.

And when that happens, they will stumble. Now notice what he says. While you look for life, he will turn it to the shadow of death and gross darkness.

Now people will be looking for light.

I want to look to God. I want to know his word for sure.

I want to walk in the light. And I want to obey him. I want to be right. And a simple prophet comes on the scene.

He brings the truth. But it's not what they want. So their very light turns to darkness.

Even the darkest of darkness. So they stumble and fall. And they die in it. These people were looking for light. Now listen. They were looking for light. And stumbling over the light.

Stumbling over the light.

I'm silent on purpose. I want it to sink in.

The prophet brought the light. Yet many people write today are not content to leave it as the prophet gave it. They're going to put aside what they want.

They're going to take what they want.

I cannot see this as what God said.

I believe darkness will come if we do not watch ourselves. The spirit of this age is in 2 Timothy 3 and 7.

2 Timothy 3 and 7.

Ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth.

The very thing Brother Frank said last night.

Learning, learning, learning, learning, learning.

Knowledge and knowledge and knowledge and knowledge. Won't do you any good. Drive you further from God. Drives you further from God. Even though you're studying to get close to God.

If you turn down the truth. Which is spirit and life.

Even as the prophet said. Nothing outside of this message.

Will come to life. Here is another exact picture of the spirit of this age.

In Revelation 3 and 17. God says. Because thou sayest. The people are saying it. They are full of pride. They cannot humble themselves.

In spite of the fact they claim the Holy Spirit. They are showing a wrong spirit.

Because they say that we are rich and increased with good.

They say we're not lukewarm. We're right on fire.

But notice. God has spoken.

In Revelation 3 .14,

the message is given to a messenger. But the speaker is God. For it is thus set the amen.

Thus set the beginning of the creation of God.

It is not thus set the messenger.

No, sir. It is thus said, God. Never forget it. God spoke it. Not the messenger. The messenger is only the delivery boy.

How great to be trusted with a message from God.

But never forget God spoke it.

So give glory to God. Get rid of your pride. Your own ideas.

Don't say I've got the Holy Ghost. I don't need somebody. God will show me how my heart's been grieved to see humble, sweet, dedicated men.

Beautiful characters.

Overflowing love of obedience and service toward mankind.

Actually willing to die for Christ.

Sweetly look at me with a sort of a sad look.

That would... That would portray the deepest of humility. That would.

And they would say with that hurt look on their faces.

But Brother Vail, God's spoken to me too.

And I've had revelation. And God has used me. What can I say? To say, is that pride?

What did he say? I've got nothing to say about it. I can just say what he said. He said, open your ears. Pay attention. Don't be proud. Don't be proud. I could say to this man, you're proud. I could say to this man, you are proud.

He would be mortified. He would be terrified when I said it. So deep in his heart. And the people would look at me. They would be enraged if I said it. Look, I am not saying it. It may be on my lips. I did not say it. God said it.

Do not be proud. But give glory to God. For God has spoken. People don't want to hear about the prophet.

Right in this meeting. I'm not here to bar you out. I'm not here to, you know, to bar you out or to abrade you.

But listen to me. There was a prophet. God spoke through that prophet. And then you say you want to hear about God. And you want to hear from God. Oh, but you don't want to hear about a prophet.

You're too proud, my child.

You don't want to hear about that prophet. You're too proud. I said you're too proud. Because God said so. I rejoiced last night. Brother Frank was not afraid to talk about a prophet.

He talked so much about a prophet that many might be disgusted.

Well, I must confess something. I got happier and happier. I rejoiced and I rejoiced because we heard from God.

Not William Branham. He told you himself. Brother Branham told you himself. Listen to what he said. Now I want you to know this is sure.

And you can listen to this tape.

You might have thought that today. I was trying to say that about myself.

Because I'm bringing you this message. I have no more to do with it than nothing.

No more than just a voice. And my voice. Even against my better judgment.

I want to be a crapper. I want to be a hunter. He didn't even want to be the man that carried the voice.

Just broke their traffic. But it's the will of my Father that I declare to do.

And am determined to do. I've made up my mind. I wasn't the one that appeared down on the river. He wasn't the flame of fire that came down. I was only standing there when he appeared.

I'm not the one that performs these things. Or tells these things that happen. And they're also perfect. I'm only one that's near. When he does it. I was of only a voice that he used to say it.

It wasn't what I knew. It's what I just surrendered myself to do.

That he spoke truth.

It isn't me. It wasn't the seventh messenger. That himself. Oh no. It was the manifestation of the Son of God.

It wasn't the messenger. His message. It was the mystery that God unfolded.

It's not a man. It's God. The messenger was not the son of man.

He was the messenger from the son of man.

The son of man is Christ.

He's the one you're feeding on.

You're not feeding on a man. A man? His words will fail. But you're fading on the unfading body word of the Son of Man.

Do you see why Jeremiah talked that way?

Now let us go back to the book of John and tell them to not ring the bell for a while.

I like to eat about two o 'clock myself anyway.

Chapter 3, 19 to 21.

And this

is the judgment that is common in Ocarina. Three verses, 19, 20, 21.

Notice the very special language. It says the light has come into the world.

The context of this is misunderstood.

Because people put it in a wrong light.

They think that they sit around in groups.

And God comes with a special blessing of light.

Blessing them and commending them. Commending means to praise them, like showing they're right. But light does not do that. Light comes to judge.

Not to say you're right, but to show you where you're wrong.

Now, what did this scripture come out of?

It came from the first portion of the book of John. Of the third chapter. And Jesus is talking to one man.

And here was a man who realized something was going on.

For he said, nobody can do the works that you do. Not even you.

It's got to be God doing this.

He had caught something here. And Jesus began to speak to him. And he said, you must be born again. And Nicodemus said, how can I be born again?

And Jesus said, you're a master in Israel and don't understand that.

He said, it's spiritual. Now why did he say that to Nicodemus? Because Nicodemus actually understood the rebirth. He understood how a Gentile could be born into Israel.

They would place him in water and thoroughly immerse him.

Signifying that he had now died. And as he came out of the water. It would be a type of a new life.

Where Israel received him.

It was a rebirth.

Nicodemus should have understood it. But he didn't understand it. And here is an example. As our brother mentioned last night.

No matter how wise you are in the word.

There is that little link in there. Which is revelation. And this man could not even pray. In the scripture. What was done in type.

Would appear in a spiritual realm.

Which would be the true reality.

So notice what Jesus said to him. In the 112th verse. Verily I say unto you. We speak that we do know. Can we testify what we see?

But you don't receive it.

If I told you earthly things and you believe not, how should you believe if I tell you heavenly things? If Jesus was doing earthly things, healing the sick, raising the dead, multiplying loaves and fishes, turning water to wine, and it pointed to something.

But they weren't getting it. Now how will they understand the revelation?

How will they receive what he's got to say from God?

They won't do it. Now hold your thought here. Let's go back to 1921 again, the same chapter. And this is the condemnation.

That life is coming to the world. But men don't like life.

They love darkness rather than light.

Because their deeds are evil. And everyone that does evil hates the light.

And he won't come to the light. Because he doesn't want to be proven wrong.

He's too proud. But he's a jewel of truth. Is really in the word of God. To the extent.

That he really wants the revelation.

He'll come to the light. In order to test out. Through the light. That his works are actually. Based in the word.

So here's what Jesus is saying to John. So here is what Jesus says to John. Once the revelation comes. Once God speaks the word of the hour.

Everything but that life is under condemnation.

So

it says.

Let's read it again. This is the condemnation that light has come into the world. The coming of the light brings condemnation. Everything but that light is under condemnation.

Now the word condemnation means judgment.

In other words, the word judges.

Now let us go to a court of law. A court of law.

Here sits the judge. And the prisoner comes forward.

And he says to the judge. I know you. I saw you last night with a woman.

And she wasn't your wife. Who do you think you are judging me?

What kind of a court is that? Do you realize something? Everybody in that court. is under judgment but the judge nobody judges the judge nobody judges the judge why? because he is the embodiment of the word he sits there as the truth

Everybody else is under him.

So when a prophet comes. So when the word comes. Everything but that word is judged.

Your thoughts are being judged.

Not your actions at this moment. No, no, no, no, no, no. Well, you bring your mind down.

That cry of yours. It says, I know something too.

The Bible says you do. Sure, it says you know something. But you don't know what it is you ought to know.

That's why the light comes. And when the light came through William Branagh. Everything stood condemned but the word.

Everything stood judged but the word. Because the word is the judge. Behold the judge stands at the door.

In the midst of the golden candlestick. With the seven lesser judges in his hand.

With the wig of the judge upon him. With the wig. The white wig. The white hair.

Showing his ability to present the word.

Showing his fitness to judge. And he came amongst us. The son of man was revealed.

And men said. Well, I know the Lord too. And he's spoken to me. And after all, I can read the Bible.

I just don't see what he said. You see what happened with this. The man had a great ministry. Oh, what a lovely ministry. Did he adjust? stayed with praying for the sick.

But oh no he had to go to preaching.

Let me tell you what one man said and it's in print.

He said brother Branham never should have gone preaching.

He simply had a great gift of healing to take to the world.

And oh how I blame myself.

Because I encouraged him to preach.

And I have a letter from that same man right today.

Where he denies the oneness of the Godhead.

But he's a lovely man.

I've got nothing against him.

But I want to tell you something. When the light comes. You and I. And everybody else. Even the prophet is under the scrutiny, under the eyes of the judgment of that word. For he himself said, I made a mistake. I said it wrong. But he appeared in a vision. And he told me the truth.

Now I'm telling you.

Every deed becomes evil.

You say every deed? Yeah. Once you turn down the word, where are you? Well, where are you? I don't care what you've done.

You say, look at my good work.

I've been very sweet. I've humbled myself. I've confessed my sins. I've done my best to serve him.

But you're proud. You won't listen to the word of God. It's too simple. God didn't come to you and knock on your door. Now when I use the word you. I do not mean you people. I mean a principle. A spirit that's in the world. A spirit that's in the world. How the world believes. You don't believe like them. Or you wouldn't be here. Or you'd have walked out by now. So forgive me. When I use that term you.

I don't mean it that way. It's like Brother Branham said. There could be 100 people here. 99 full of the Holy Ghost. But there's one sinner. So you act as though everybody's a sinner.

By your preaching. Because you want to bring him in. So that's what I do. So you must forgive me. Every deed becomes evil. And you can see what the prophet said.

All word becomes worm -eaten but this.

All acts outside the revelation are recruited.

As it says in the book of Ephesians. The fifth chapter verse 13.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light.

For whatsoever is made manifest is light.

The very miracles that were performed by the word of God.

showed and proved it was the word of God and led to the revelation now everything must come to it to see if it is right that is why brother Branham said the word under the seven seals corrects all errors

Now if I have a paper that's an exam.

I don't send in a blank piece of paper.

I have answered questions. And the teacher corrects my errors.

So was Brother Brannan. But they wouldn't come to the light to see if they're right.

But when the light shone. They said we are right. And they left. But you and I came to the light. And we said. Oh we're wrong here. We didn't get this right over here. And we're not doing this right. Now the prophet said how to do it. This is how you understand it. Wonderful. That's walking the light. Look at John the Baptist. He was a bright and shining lamp. And they rejoiced in him. He imparted an energy to the people.

It stirred them up.

They were glad for a while. And then they said, we can't take this. Now because we believe this over here.

And we've been this way for a long time. Oh, we've had a long time to study it out.

So we'll just turn this down. And they did. Now he further says, you don't want that light. Because you love both darkness and evil deeds.

What does it say in the Bible? John says that Cain's deeds were evil.

But Paul says this. Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. And that word excellent means a completion.

More real because of the full revelation. Now listen. If Abel's sacrifice was more excellent,

Then Cain's was excellent.

Nobody says that the church isn't doing the good work.

Nobody's saying the kind deeds are not kind deeds.

Nobody's running down the good things.

Because they go to church to be better people.

But notice the difference. One can be excellent.

Disapproved of God.

And the other perfectly right. In the revelation. And you look at both of them together. And you say, I don't see any difference. There isn't any difference. It's the revelation. Listen to what the Septuagint says. The Septuagint, which is the Old Testament in Greek.

Thou hast offered right.

Yet if thou hast not rightly divided.

Hast thou not sinned. Now we know what Paul says. If a man should be approved of God.

He must rightly divide the word.

The correct revelation must be there.

Now Cain offered a right sacrifice.

It was the first fruit. That's in the Bible. Surely. It's beautiful. It's lovely. It's correct. But he was off the revelation. It was a wrong division.

By revelation he should have offered the blood.

And the revelation is faith. And so Abel was right.

And God accepted him. But he turned aside Cain.

This is what Jesus is saying here. Men don't want to come to the light. So they'll line up with God. They'll say, show me where I'm doing wrong.

Show me the difference between you and me.

Look, here is the word of God. I am obeying it. What can you say? Nothing. You don't have to say anything. You just say it was a vindicated message. The light has come. God has spoken. We know what we have never known before. Yes.

That which is perfect has come. By God's grace we have the perfect revelation of the word for this hour.

Let us rejoice and be glad. Never forget the people that Jesus spoke to were worshippers. They worshipped God. The question should come forth. Who is God? There is one God who is spirit.

And how will you worship him? We must love him with all our hearts and all our minds and all our soul and all our body.

Then we'll love our neighbors as ourselves. Then we'll love our neighbors as ourselves. And we'll do the sacrifices.

And all the things necessary. All these weren't a bunch of heathens.

They weren't a bunch of pagans.

They were worshipping God. The one true God. They stood with Moses. Though they didn't understand him. They came from Abraham. Yet Jesus said. You are your father the devil. And the work of your father you do. And they said hold it right there.

Look at our sacrifice. Look how we're doing things. We're very careful. We're very proper. Our lives are dedicated.

Our lives are dedicated. And we're worshiping God. He said your worship is in vain.

Because you've got a bunch of creeds for your doctrine.

And you're looking for Messiah. You're looking for the promises to be fulfilled.

But you made them void. You made them void.

They'll never be fulfilled to you now. Pray all you want. Believe all you want. Try as hard as you will. You've voided them. Because you've got... the doctrines of men for the commandments of God see they had hybridized the word of God and God counted them as serpent seeds you can see this is the same spirit that Paul spoke of in 2 Corinthians 10 and in the 10th chapter And the fifth verse. Casting down reasoning. The word imagination is reasoning. Casting down reasoning.

And every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

And he explains it now what it is. Even bringing into captivity.

Every thought to the obedience of Christ. As I said a while ago, what is the highest part of your body? The head. Now, what age are we in? We have passed the last moving part. The last moving part of the body.

Which is the eye? Which was the eagle eye? Which was the prophet? Now where is the word? It's in the mind. Because the mind is the womb of the spirit.

And Paul tells us to cast down our reasonings up here. Throw them out. Have nothing to do with it. Because there's where you got your trouble. By your reasoning.

By your education. You'll come against God right up here.

Because you'll say. And he made a mistake there. In fact, I can count 10 or 12 mistakes. And it doesn't work when we try it.

Who's doing that?

Oh, I know the trouble. Don't worry.

I had the same trouble. You're not alone if you've got trouble. We're all human. But he loves us. And he's watching out for us. And he'll lose none of us. When I heard Brother Branham talk. And he was actually saying. Go in a veiled manner. In a veiled manner. Covered manner.

That he was the one you should listen to.

That he had the reality. Just like Jesus did in his day. I said to myself. What does he think he is?

He didn't have to think. He knew. I was just thinking. I didn't know. I didn't know. That's dumb on many people. One day I woke up. God revealed it. And I said look at that. Wonderful. I don't have to think anymore. I can open my mind. And I can let the seed of God. Shove out every other seed.

I can let Christ the word grow in my mind.

He is this word. Until it gets down here. And here. And here together we'll make this.

And I'm striving. I'm striving. I'm trying. He said bring your thoughts into obedience. Bring your thoughts into obedience. Not your hands yet. Not your feet yet. Bring your thoughts. Because it doesn't matter what you do. You'll still miss it. Then you'll be judged. Not as a part of the bride. But as the remnant. Let me show you why. 2 Corinthians 11. I'm jealous over you as a godly jealousy.

You didn't want me to read the second verse? I'll repeat it, then you say it. Right here. Second Corinthians 11. And it's the second... Yeah, second Corinthians. And it's the 11th chapter. And the second verse. 11th chapter. Because it's 11, yeah. And the second verse. And you're doing real good, so don't get nervous. You're doing a great job. I am jealous over you as a godly jealousy. What's the second? I'm jealous over you as a godly jealousy.

Now who gets jealous? The husband. And he starts thinking. And he said, I cannot see anything about my wife.

I cannot see she's doing anything wrong.

But something tells me she is with another man.

And I've got to take her to the house of God and give her a word test.

Now God, we have been betrothed to God, espoused to God. We are married to God. One husband. and were to go to him as a chaste virgin.

Now what is a chaste virgin?

If you read the Old Testament you will find it most explicit

That she had to be a woman. Who could prove her virginity.

Evidently by the menstrual cycle.

Because they said you were to bring that cloth that proved it.

In other words. She could not be with the seed of another man.

That's the way God wants it. Only his seed.

Untouched also in our deeds. Also untouched in our acts of life.

Because we are to live holy before him. But Paul says I'm afraid. Lest you fall. Lest you fall into sin. The same as Eve fell into sin. Through the security of the enemy.

And he describes it. The mind being corrupted.

The mind being corrupted. Getting off the word of God. Now my brother and my sister. Let us understand this. God speaks of the bride as the five wise virgin. She is a chaste virgin of the word.

She is a wise virgin. She is a clothed virgin.

What does this all come to? The one thing. She is 100 % born of. And made of. And brought up into. And is told with. The revealed word of God. Of her hour. Which she believes. And trusts. And obeys. The spirit of the age. You are naked.

You are naked. You are naked. And the vindicated were the prophets.

showed that God meant it for this hour but the world church said wrong we are not righteous nor miserable but we are rich we are increased in good And we don't lack a thing. So how come you tell us we need something?

Look, we're just fine. The spirit of this age. Now I trust you've seen a little lesson here.

We're not of the world that does that.

You can see why we talk about a problem. You can see why we say it's just his word that he taught. That reveals the word to us. And when you see what he taught. You can just open your Bible.

And as you can see Christ in every word. You can see this message. Which is Christ the Word. Which is the Logos. The Logos coming forth to human flesh. A prophet giving the Word. You'll see it here.
