Praise God. Father, we just thank You for Your presence with us. Lord God, we know that You are with us. You have been with us all through the day. You have been with those who are traveling and those who have been traveling. But the special way in which we thank You for being with us tonight is that You said that where two or three are gathered together in Your name, You would be there to bless and to do them good. That means, Lord God, that You are here to do something for each individual person, that each person that has a need, that each person that has a suffering, that each person that has a pain, that each person that has a problem, that You are here to fix that problem, because we know that You are in the midst of fixing the temple for Your return. So we pray, oh God, that You might quicken our understanding; quicken us, Lord God, to make us a Body, for hitherto we have not been a Body. We have been scattered here and there. We have been hearing the Word, we have been believing the Word, yet we have not been able to move as one man, even as You have ordained for us. So Lord God, we commit ourselves into Your hand tonight, that You would bring us one notch nearer to that point where You will be pleased with us, and You will say, “This is My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” Thank you, Jesus. And so we depend on You for the Word tonight, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Hallelujah!

Greetings to you, brethren. It is such a pleasure to be with you. Hallelujah! To know that God has been preserving you, and preserving us, through many dangers, toils and fears, we have already come. We thank God for this marvelous preservation and restoration. Amen. Hallelujah!

You know, when I think that I am 83 years of age, it is kind of hard to think about that because I feel young. I feel excited about what God is doing, and it is such an excitement that I don’t have time to think about being old. So, I hope that those of you who are running after me so closely might think of that and just rejoice in God that we are glad to see the day, and we are glad to see the hour in which we are. Praise be to God.

There is a Word here that the Lord has been speaking to my heart, and this Word is concerning His coming and the completion of the man. You remember, when He started out, He did not finish

Adam. Adam was an unfinished product. Let us go to Genesis. Whenever you see me start in Genesis, you know that we are going to end up in Revelation. So, let us start in Genesis 1. This is the blueprint that we must never forget. We must always remember the blueprint, God’s blueprint for man. You know, when you are going to put up a building, you lay it out, and you look at the cost and everything. You say, “This is good.” The building isn’t yet finished, but you know it is good because you know what it is going to be. You can see from your blueprint, from your plan, the finished building and you rejoice in the finished building. Someone else comes and he sees all the rubble and the trash and everything while men are working, and he says, “Oh, this is a mess.” BUT one day it is going to be a palace. Amen. Thank you, Jesus! So, we look at chapter 1, verse 25. I want you to see what happened here.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind… Isn’t it peculiar that God made the beast just before He made the man? And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. I want you to understand that all these animals represent something spiritual. Every animal that you see, it represents something in the Spirit. The Bible says that the things in the natural represent the things in the spiritual. So, when we think that God made the beast just before He made man, and the serpent – the serpent – just before He made man, you must understand that in the fulfillment of this, the completion of this, we are going to see the beast before we see the man. Do you understand? We are going to see the manifestation of the beast nature, we are going to see the total manifestation of the horror of the serpent nature BEFORE we see the perfect man.

You know, we were singing, “We are complete in Him.” It is wonderful. You cannot be completed any other way. IN CHRIST JESUS, man will find his completion. Hallelujah! But something is going to happen before that. If you think that it is close for Jesus to come into us, think again! It is closer. You are going to see the beast with your two eyes.

Let me just touch on a little point here before we go any further. We are already seeing the manifestation of the beast nature in the human realm. At no time in the history of man have we ever seen such horror and wickedness in human beings. A man walks into a wedding with a bomb and blows himself apart, and his entrails scatter all over the wedding, killing fifty-odd people. I mean, it is bad enough for a person to say that they are fighting a war against somebody else, but you are talking about innocent people, women and children, on somebody’s wedding day. And they marred them, marred the wedding day and killed the parents. God spared the bride and the groom. But this is man NOW, and he is going on everyday.

Today they ran a truck into a hotel. They blew out the fence and another truck came in and ran into the space that was blown up, and blew up the hotel. This is what man is capable of right now. You haven’t seen anything yet! You have not seen the end of it, for man has totally lost his human quality, and they are becoming beasts. That is, the worst beast that you could find is a beast that is intelligent, a beast that is able to calculate, a beast that is able to plan. Don’t you understand? Such a beast, God never made. He never made.

I don’t know if you noticed that God mentioned man and mentioned beast? In the Word of God it shows that a man can become a beast. God demonstrated it in Nebuchadnezzar. He transgressed against God. Do you know how he transgressed? Listen. He built Babylon. Babylon was never intended of God to be built. Nimrod built Babylon and then here comes Nebuchadnezzar, and he builds Babylon. And when he looked at the palace – trash. YES. A palace is nothing but a big heap of trash that is put in order, because if you light a match under it, it becomes nothing. If you drop a bomb in there, there is no palace any more. SO, IT IS NOT REAL! But he looked at it and said, “This is the great Babylon that I have built.” And God smote him (Daniel 4:30). What God did when He smote him was He separated… Hear me, now. You are spirit, you are soul, and you are body. If your spirit leaves you, you become a beast. It is your spirit that is contacting the Spirit of God that makes you human, makes you compassionate, makes you love. HEAR ME! Whenever that spirit is cut off from you, you are no better than a beast. He did not know any more that he had a palace to go into his big bed and lie down to sleep. He slept out in the grass. He ate grass like an animal. He became a beast for seven years! For seven years, nobody cut his toenails or his fingernails. Amen. He didn’t want them to be cut. Everybody was afraid of this thing that was out there. He was a werewolf. Yes! He became a beast. God did it to show us something, that there is the possibility of man becoming beast.

Now, we see a man who loves order. Everything must be spic and span. Everything must be in order. If it is not in order, he kills those who don’t put it in order, so much so that men get in line before him because they are afraid of him. I am talking about Hitler. He was a beast. He looked like a man. He talked like a man, but he was a beast. Amen. We had many, many, many beasts. Many, many beasts – some in scripture, some in our time. We have seen Stalin, who crept up at night with a sharp razor blade and slit a person’s vein so accurately, so sharply, so quickly that the person didn’t even wake up. He just bled to death. That is how Stalin used to kill. He was a great killer. Then, of course, he started killing by the millions. He killed his own soldiers because he suspected that they weren’t going to be with him.

So, brethren, we see then seven days. God took six days to build the earth, and He built the beast in the morning of the sixth day. You know that the morning of the day is at six o’clock the previous evening. Are you there? So, the beast was made at that time, and the beast reigned through the night – UNTIL MIDNIGHT – and day began to dawn, and God made the man. I want you to understand me. God made man on the sixth day. On the sixth day means in the fifth day evening. As the fifth day was finished in the evening, He made the beast. And so the beast was active all through the night. Remember that animals have the kind of eyes that can see in darkness. Amen. They were made to hunt during the night. So the beast was active. At that time, nothing was killed or destroyed, but the fact that God did it means God is showing us something. God could have just spoken one word and made everything at one time, but that would not teach us the lesson. The lesson is what I want us to get tonight. Are we understanding? We must get the lesson tonight that God deliberately took six days, and in the sixth day, He made beast and man. Hallelujah!

In the six thousand years, therefore, beast must be completed, and man must be completed. Now, that sixth day, God said one thing in the second chapter of Genesis. He said that He finished the work which He had made. Come, let’s read it and see if we can get the understanding of this truth here. Remember, when He made it He said, “It is good.” It IS good because God sees things through spiritual eyes, so He can see that which is not as though it were (Romans 4:17). So, when God saw Adam and said, “It is good, good work,” it was indeed a good work because it would produce what God ordained. Now, everything that He made will be completed in the millennial year that He made. So, if He made something on the fourth day, or on the fifth day, in the fourth millennium it would be completed, in the fifth millennium it would be completed. If it was made in the sixth day, in the sixth millennium it will be completed. So, when it is completed, it must be manifest.

God says that man will be manifested in the sixth day, and of course, in the seventh day he would show forth his perfection. Amen.

Now in Genesis 2:2 He said, And on the seventh day… I want you to notice this, because the seventh day is theSabbath. The seventh day is the Sabbath, and I want youto notice here without my going into it, because it is awhole different message that Jesus Christ did most of Hismiracles on the

Sabbath day, and these miracles that He did on the Sabbath day were specially selected miracles. He didn’t do any random miracles. He did some specially selected miracles on the seventh day to show us what is going to happen in our time. The man at the pool of Bethesda, He healed him on the seventh day, and He said, “Rise up and walk” (John 5:8). That man represents the manchild church, and the manchild church is going to rise up and walk in our time. We are going to see it. Believe you me! Hallelujah! So, here we are, this church is to become the manchild church. The woman is going to become the man. Come on now, brethren. The woman church, when she is joined with Jesus Christ and becomes one, and Jesus Christ becomes her Head, she will become the manchild church. So, the way God showed it is as a birth, as if a woman is pregnant with something (Revelation 12). Hallelujah! When the pregnancy comes forth, it becomes a man, so it is the woman in the man. That is the only way that God could describe to us that we in our little wretched, finite minds could understand what He means by a manchild church. Every church has been a woman.

So far, from the beginning of time, everything that comes forth has been female, because it had to depend on the male to bring forth anything. In other words, we have to depend on Christ. No Christ is going to bring forth a church that doesn’t have to depend on Christ. Why? Because the church will be Christ itself.

Come on, brethren. It is as plain as it can be, yet I can imagine somebody quoting me on the internet. Hallelujah! They put some wretched things about me on the internet. But that is wonderful. That means that they are paying attention. The woman church is to become the manchild church. Let’s go to the natural woman. You women – you are not really women. You are pretending to be women. Do you know why? Because you are only women for a season. This season in which we are, wherein we must gain and earn our laurels and our crowns, and our stars, we that God put in a woman body that we might suffer in that body and bring forth the manchild. Can you understand? Can everybody understand? You know, I want you to question me tonight very badly. I really want you to get up and talk. If you don’t believe what I am saying, if you don’t hear what I am saying, let me hear it. Let us talk about it. Because it is not sin. It is not sin to not understand, you know. It is sin to not understand and to walk out of here with your lack of understanding. That is the sin. It is not sin to be tempted, but it IS sin to yield to temptation. So those of you who are tempted, don’t say to yourself, “Oh, I am a wretched person, because I am tempted!” NO SIR!!!! You are not a sinner because you are tempted. You are a sinner because you commit sin.

Let’s go back to it. So therefore, in the sixth millennium, which is just past – God has created a man, a manchild, and that child is yet to be manifested, because that child is yet a fetus. Come on, now! He said now, in the seventh day, God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. Hallelujah! Do you know why God rested? Because man was perfected. God will not rest until you are perfected. When you are perfected, you will take over God’s creation. He will hand it to His sons. But how are you going to be perfected? Through great toil and tribulation. Hallelujah. Through great suffering and overcoming and then a TRIUMPHANT CHURCH will come forth. Some of the poor ones who are hopping around, “I’m no good,” “I’m weak,” all of a sudden, out of weakness, God will bring forth strength! Out of sorrow, He will bring forth joy! Out of pain and suffering, He will bring forth victory! Hallelujah! For this is the plan of the living God. Hallelujah!

I am encouraging you tonight. Do you know what blesses me? Twenty years ago I knew some of you, and you are here tonight. Hallelujah! It means that you are listening. It delighted me to hear Brother John. He is a young one. Amen. He is a young one, and to hear him say that salvation is progressive… Yes! Yes! Even progressive, progression, failure, fall, rise up, fall, rise up, fall down, suffer, pain, and then one day God says, And I will give power unto my two witnesses (Revelation 11:3). Oh yes! Yes! So don’t be afraid of what is happening. If this doesn’t happen, then Jesus won’t come.

One day I was asking the Lord… Well, you know, I have been asking God questions for almost 60 years. Sometimes He doesn’t answer the question until 30 years after I asked it. So, you are all blessed. You can just get the 30- year answers tonight, once and for all. But that’s the way that God makes it. It is not everybody that has to work for it. Some people have to suffer and work and give it to you, so that you can suffer and work and give it to somebody else. So, there is a progression in church. Now, a church that doesn’t progress is a dead thing. Jesus is not in it. Oh, you better believe it. If you don’t progress, Jesus is not in you. And something else – you are no judge of it. You cannot judge whether you progress or not. You always have a tendency to cry down yourself, and you feel like a dog and you believe that you are a dog or not. Yes! Sometimes you just feel like a dog – feel way down there, but blessed be to God.

God is sending a message to you tonight, and I want you to get the message. It starts here with the blueprint. What did God see when He saw Adam and He said, “It is good”? Now, I want to know what God saw, and I am going to see what God saw. Yes, because the brother who used to rest on Jesus’ bosom… I think that it is just a phrase in the Jewish language to say that he was resting on his bosom. I think it means to say that he was kind of close to Him. Hallelujah! He was catching everything out of Him. This brother said, Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God (I John 3:1). Hallelujah!

I mean, you feel so wretched sometimes because you are not coming up to your own expectation. Right? You are not coming up to your own expectation. You think that you are no good. But what manner of love the Father hath bestowed (meaning to say, given us freely) that we should be called the sons of God. Now, this is God’s plan from the beginning. In other words, put yourself in God’s place. Can you? You are God and you can do everything. You can do everything, but you cannot make a son. You make angels and they are beautiful, and they are powerful and they are great. But the son – you cannot make a son. WHY? Okay, how did the Son come about? How did Jesus Christ come about? God took God out of God and put Him in a seed and put that seed in a woman. So, God became a partner with a woman, that the child that the woman brought forth would be half God and half man. He would be completely man, for He had all the attributes of man and He would be completely God, for although He could not manifest all the attributes of God, He knew that He had them in the heavenlies, and He would inherit them. Hear this now! This is what God wanted, but then He couldn’t go taking seeds out of Himself making God-men all around. He made One and that One must bring forth other men like Himself. Are you with me, brethren? God bless you if you can understand what the Spirit is saying to the church! Hallelujah! GOD IS CREATING GOD!!!!

He can’t make it, but He can create it. He can take one of Adam’s fallen race, and He can plant a seed into you, and the seed can germinate, and you can become like God!! A son of God. Let us make sure that we have scripture, because I am on the edge, you know. Do you hear? On the edge! I know one brother who used to go around and he would say, “God bless you!” and he meant to say it. Let’s get the scripture. We turn around to Romans 8, and look at verse 29, For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son… Conformed means “made in form like.” Does anyone have another translation here? An Amplified, or anything like that? You are good people. You don’t use those things. Nobody has one. That is peculiar, wonderful. You see, you can use them when you can understand them, when you know that you must use it with something else. Right? But to depend on it alone, you will get carried down sometimes.

Now, to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he (the Son) might be the firstborn among many brethren. So thatmeans that many of us are going to become LIKE JESUS.He is our bigger brother, and we will be little brothers comingforth in His image and likeness.

Now, let’s go back to Genesis, and let me show you a little glitch there, why I said to you that we were not completed. Adam was not completed. You see, if you say things, you have to have the proof for it. Do you see? There is no scripture that does not give you scriptural proof. Now, if we look again, Genesis 1:26, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… So, the blueprint calls for IMAGE and LIKENESS. Now, if you take a picture of me, it is my image. You can take a picture of me and have my image, but to have my likeness is another thing. So, we have the image of God built in us, but to be like Jesus… “To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus, all I ask is to be like Him, all through life’s journey, from earth to glory, all I ask is to be like Him.” Tonight, we are going to go a notch higher! Just one notch higher. Hallelujah! As the Lord has been showing me, let us go on.

Turn with me to Ephesians. God bless our brother Paul. He had such a deep understanding of the Spirit, and of the things of the Lord, that he was like the link between the Old and the New Testament. Yes. Paul was like the link between the Old and the New Testament. If you can read and understand Paul, you are making it. Yes, because not even Peter could understand him. Amen. Praise be to God! Remember that he is writing a letter to the Ephesian brethren. Ephesians chapter 1 through chapter 4 is the most used part of my Bible. Ephesians 1:10. It is something that we go over many times, but we need to go over it and over it and over it until it sinks down into our minds, into our hearts, and it becomes life, a part of us.

Ephesians1:10, That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him… Come on now! I learned this lesson. Mybrother died when he wasn’t an old person. My motherdied when she was an old woman. My father died. Allthese three, God has given me as my children in the Lord,by promise. Have you ever pinned down God for a promise?Pin down God right now for a promise for your children.They shall not be lost. “Lord God, any sacrifice,any sacrifice I will make. Don’t let my children be lost.”Call them one by one before God, no matter where theyare. Let me tell you something, brethren. This brother ofmine was a gun man, a gang leader. Do you hear me? Hewas an engineer, a highly technical person. At night hewent out and led his gang. They would do anything. Hehad to be saved! He had to be saved because the Spirit ofGod came to me when I was a child, and told me. I had nounderstanding of it but He told me, “I will take away thebirthright from the firstborn brother, and give it to you.” Iam second to last born. Amen.

After I got SAVED, I became conscious and I said, “Well, God, if you have taken away his birthright and have given it to me, like you took away the birthright of Esau and gave it to Jacob, then SAVE him!” You have the power! You have the power! There is a Blood covenant between you and that child. It is your body, it is your Blood, it is your life. My life, my body, my blood, must not be given to the devil. It shall not reign in hell forever with Satan. Hallelujah! Because I have a Blood covenant with Him. I said, “My God, I pin You, I pin You down, God, to the covenant. They shall not die.” I want you to be strengthened, brethren. GLORY TO GOD! Amen. I want you to HEAR me! I want you to be strengthened! I want you to understand that the Spirit of God in the end of time must reveal the whole truth to the church. He must reveal the whole truth to the church. Part of the truth has been revealed time and time again. In this place, Tulsa, the mighty men of God have come and they have each revealed a little. Each one has had a little piece! But they have never had the sense to put them together. Each man, building his own kingdom. They have been too busy building their own kingdoms to realize that the Kingdom of God is not you or you or you, but ALL of us together! If I took my little piece and put it with you, all of a sudden, I would have ten times more. Don’t you understand? So God is saying that, at this junction of time, He is bringing together a church that has never been before, for THIS church shall not only be with human beings, but with spirits! HALLELUJAH!

I asked God to save the rebellious, wretched, wild man (my brother). Hallelujah! And God said, “YES.” One day God called me and said to go down to Jamaica and talk to him. I went down to Jamaica. I went to his place. I sat him down and I talked to him. He never said one word. He sat down for two hours and I poured out the Gospel of Jesus Christ upon him, and he sat down looking at me. The next call was an eternal call. Oh yes! The next call was an eternal call. I said, “Thank You, Jesus. You are a God who is full of mercy, compassion, love! You never fail! Thank You, God! Hallelujah! He has gone to glory.” I never knew how it happened. Then God came to me and outlined the whole thing in a vision. Hallelujah! How he died. Why he died. The worst part about it is that the person who killed him – we went to the person and said, “Why did you do it?” After God spoke! I was proving now that the vision was true. Right? He was poisoned. I didn’t go to the person, but my sister did, and said, “Why did you kill my brother?” The person said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I never intended to, but so and so and so…” PROOF! There is no harm in proving what God tells you. Praise God! There is no harm in proving it! But I tell you now, and I think that God wants to soak this into us: Last time we were here, Brother Cook was here with us. In Jamaica last week, they had Brother Cook on the television leading the meeting here. Amen. It is on the television there now because all of the meetings here are on the television there. All of you are television stars now. You see? He was here with us, but is he here with us? He said that they should not weep for those who have gone on. Hallelujah! Don’t weep, sister! It is painful, but don’t weep! The man is in the Kingdom of God, and he is here with us, learning! Amen! Yes! The Lord said we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1). What are witnesses for? I’m telling you that the overcoming that they did not do, we have to do! Amen! Yes! You wonder why so many of the brethren died? They were killed, they were murdered, they were sawn asunder, they were crucified. But maybe somebody says, “What kind of a God do you have who would let His people die?” David said, we are counted as sheep for the slaughter (Psalm 44:22). Thou dost not increase thy wealth by their price (Psalm 44:12). Amen. We are counted as sheep for the slaughter. ALL VICTORY! ALL VICTORY! Amen. Because, let me tell you, YOU ARE THE CHURCH MILITANT! GOD’S MILITARY ORGANIZATION! Whether you believe it or not! When you fight and you overcome that little demon that wanted you to cuss, or wanted you to do so and so and you didn’t do it – ONE VICTORY UP!

I’ll tell you more. I’m telling you as I am seeing it! There is a great slaughter of devils, of demons. Have you ever killed a demon? Hmm? Have you ever killed a demon? You do it without knowing. The Bible says that “if you resist them, they will flee from you” (James 4:7). Did the Bible say so? Now why would someone flee if he was not in any danger? Come on, tell me about it. Tell me, why would a devil run from John if John wasn’t a danger to him? You have the power to slay them, put them in the abyss, finish them until Jesus comes to judge the quick and the dead. “Behold, I cast you into the abyss. You shall not torment my family any more!” AS WE OVERCOME, WE DESTROY! AS WE OVERCOME, WE PUT THEM DOWN! So there is rejoicing! The saints in heaven rejoice. Let us say that there is a brother that could not overcome smoking. He would smoke privately. He couldn’t overcome the thing. It was just on top of him, and he died. Are we going to see a smoker in heaven? Is he going to get a cigarette up there? NO! But the soul that did not overcome is an entity, a living being that has a weakness, incomplete. We are complete in Him, in Christ. So, therefore, you have incomplete man here, on earth, and you have incomplete man there, in the heavenlies. You don’t believe that? Now listen! If you would be completed and made perfect by death, then someone could come and perfect you by bashing you in the head and sending you to glory. Are you with me? If death perfects you, then we have no problem. We only have to go and get a car to run over us, or something like that. You are not perfected by death. That is why God wants you to be perfected here, in the earth. That is why God wants you to surrender here! That is why God wants to have a people in the end time, He is going to have a people who He will fill with the power of God, who will destroy the power of darkness. I want you to question me. I can feel the question there. It is so good. Thank You, Jesus! Hallelujah!

Now, we go on. We see another scripture in John 17 that we make sure that we are seeing the perfect will of God, that God is going to have a people who are without spot, without blemish, without wrinkle, or any such thing. That it is a living people on earth here, not people who are dead, because once you pass over, you cannot fight any more. The fighters are those who are alive, but you can gain the victory. Hallelujah! When the church gains the victory, you gain the victory. So, that is why we are having problems. That is why some of us are tempted. That is why we have some real hard situations to overcome, and you wonder, “Why would God allow this to happen to me?” God allows it to happen to you because he knows you have the capacity to overcome. Amen.

John 17:20, Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21That they all may be one… One church! Onechurch! Anybody who thinks youare in another church and youare against this otherchurch or that church, youare outside of God’s plan.God has only onechurch. He does notrecognize your church!I’m talking about yourdenomination now.Yes! He said thenwhen we becomeONE, thou, Father, art in me. Weknow that the Godhead bodily dwelleth in the LORD ( Colossians 2:9), and we are complete in Him (Colossians 2:10). …And I in thee, that they also may be one in us… One in us! Have you ever heard of one person who is one with Christ divorce another person who is one with Christ? It is not possible. All of this divorcing thing that is going on, it is outside of God, outside of Christ. Nobody who is one with Christ can divorce another person who is one with Christ. You divorce the person who is with the devil, yes, the person who is with the devil and is not with Christ, that is the only time that there can become a break between a person who is with Christ and another person. But two people who are walking in Christ cannot divorce each other. Amen. So, whenever you see a case of impending divorce coming up, find out who it is that has turned away from God, because you have to divorce God before you divorce His daughter or His son. Amen.

John 17:23, I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me… When you see people walkingin Christ, they are sending a message to the world thatGod is alive, and God is in us. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me… It is not possible tobe perfected or completed until you are one with thosewho are one with Christ.

Let’s go back over it again. There are some people who are one with Christ, and until you are one with those who are one with Christ, you cannot be perfected. Now, let us look at what I am saying. Jesus Christ has sent the spirits of the departed church to be with this church – did I read that? …in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth (in one); even in him (Ephesians 1:10). Don’t you understand? The moment that you become one in Christ, you are also one with the departed ones. Amen. They are not dead, for God is not a God of the dead (Matthew 22:32, Mark 12:27, Luke 20:38). They are more alive than you are!

You see, we believe that we are alive. Do you know why we believe that we are alive? Because all of us have the same kind of death. So, we can see one another, we can hear one another, and we believe so. But those who are departed are in the real LIFE. We are only hearing about LIFE. They have the REAL LIFE running through them. God says that when you lose your body as a Christian that He lends you another body. For years I never understood that. He said that He would lend you another body so that you would not be naked (II Corinthians 5:2,4), so that you are not a disembodied spirit. Are you with me? A disembodied spirit is a spirit that has lost his body and is all spirit, no body, naked. Right? II Corinthians 5 says that they are naked. So if somebody is telling me that God made demons, I am telling you, broadcast it and tell them that God never made a demon. God made man, and God made angels. A fallen angel is a fallen angel. A demon is a demon. God never made demons, these little devil spirits. God never made them. Hallelujah!

II Corinthians 5:1, For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house… OUR HOUSE …which is from heaven: 3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked (disembodied). Naked is Strong’s Greek #1131, gumnos. 4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed… We don’t want to be disembodied. …but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Amen. So, God lends you a body, and our deceased brothers and sisters have that body. When John the beloved saw one of the brothers, what did he look like? He looked like Christ. John bowed down to worship him (Revelation 22:8-9). Something so bright, so powerful, lighted the whole earth with his glory when he came down with the power. He had a body that God lent him. Amen. And one day, he is going to come and to pick up his body, his own body, in the resurrection – the dead in Christ shall rise first (I Thessalonians 4:16). They are going to pick up their bodies which are covered by the mountains, they are going to rend the mountains open and take out their body, and that is what happened when Jesus rose.

Therefore, there are some brothers who have their bodies now. Millions of them have their bodies in heaven. Moses and Elijah and Enoch are with them. So, Elijah and Enoch are not the only ones in heaven who have a physical body, but the millions who rose out of the tombs when Jesus Christ called them, they have their bodies with them, too. That is why, when somebody tells me that they have the body of Peter, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it because I believe that God takes up those that He wants to, that some of those people have their bodies in Heaven. Let’s not go into that too much. I would have too much to explain. But the fact is that there is that class of brethren in Heaven who have their bodies, and if I believe that there are some people who, after Jesus Christ, were still translated, and have their bodies, then you will forgive me (John 21:21-22). Yes, yes, yes. Amen.

So, praise be to God. Let us not worry about those who are passed on. They are with us as surely as you are with us, because God said that at this time, in the dispensation of the fulness of times… (Ephesians 1:10). Now, what dispensation is that? We had a dispensation of the Law, and out of the dispensation of the Law, one man came forth, through the Law, into immortality, and that man was Moses. Amen. But you have to look deeply into the scriptures to see that, you know. Do you understand? You have to look deeply into the scriptures to see that.

Then the scriptures tell you clearly that Enoch’s wife said that Enoch walked with God (Genesis 5:24). Now, tell me, brother, sister, what did you think she was saying? That Enoch was arm in arm walking with God? Now, come on, tell me, isn’t that what your mind told you? Tell me what you saw! What I saw is that God was walking IN Enoch like God walked IN Adam and God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them (II Corinthians 6:16). This is the will of God, not just to walk with you arm in arm, but to walk INSIDE OF YOU, that men see the Glory of God in your life.

The woman said, “That man, my husband, he walked with God. And it is as much as to say that he walked so close that I knew I was going to lose him. God took him.” What I see when I say, “God took him,” is something entirely different from what some people see. That if you get God in you so much, and God pervades every figment of your being, amen, God is going to overcome this flesh! Yes. God took him. Hallelujah! Walked away with him.

One day I had a vision. I was walking with Jesus, and Jesus got to three steps. He went up on these three little steps, and He turned around quickly to me and He said, “Don’t come.” I believe, had He allowed me to go, I would have been gone. But I had a job to do. He said, “Turn back.” I said, “But…” He said, “Turn back!” Amen. I believe, brethren, let me change that… I KNOW that what God is speaking now is that He wants to fill this temple with His glory, that He wants to come in. You must begin to drop off all the problems of life that hinder the spirit of God from moving in you like He moved in Enoch, like He moved in Christ, because the hour is at hand. Amen! Hallelujah!

I asked Him one day, “Lord, how are You going to save the world?” I look at the world. It is so hopeless. Do you ever look at the world? Lord, have mercy! It is so hopeless. You look at mankind – it is so hopeless. Hallelujah. You look at the things that they do, and you say the church is the hope of the world. Have you seen the church recently? Lord, have mercy! Oh God!

First of all, the church can’t sing. All they can sing is Beatles. You know, the Beatles came with yun yun yun yun ding-y ding ding, and that half tone that they got from India. The Guru there took them to India and blessed them with whatever spirit, and they came and they took the whole world, and the church started to sing like the Beatles. So, you can’t get a good tune out of them. Oh, Lord, help us! Oh yes, I heard a woman singing Amazing Grace. She sings: Am-a-a-a-A-a-A-a-zing Gr-a-A-a-A-a-A-ce. Hmm? She is gone. And the people clapped and said, “AAAAAAMEN!” She disfigured the song absolutely. We have a program on the television in Jamaica, and this thing comes on, this church comes on just before our program. And the church, when you look at it, is expansive, thousands of people, and for two hours, they will just dance and (disfigure) songs. The man with the microphone is going on like Michael Jackson. Yes! Like Michael Jackson, and then he starts rapping and he raps and all the people are “AAAAAAAAAAAAmen!”
GOD HELP US!!!!

The church has been gone a long time. There is no church there. No word. No deliverance. No power. Preaching without authority! Preaching without ANOINTING! People say, “AAAAAAMEN.” “Everybody now get up and say, ‘Amen.’” And they say, “AMEN.” And then they boogie across the floor. GOD HELP US!!!! The church is the hope of the world, and the world has no hope, except you if you will turn and give God yourself, and say, “Lord God, though the earth be removed, though the waters be carried into the midst of the sea, though the sea roar, and be troubled, I WILL SERVE YOU! I WILL GIVE MY LIFE TO YOU!”

Some wonderful things are about to happen. God took 300 men and defeated 33,000. This is the place we are. He says, “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the time of the end,” (Matthew 24:37, Luke 17:26). Hallelujah! This is what we are facing right now, brethren – THE TIME OF THE END! I am asking you, by the grace of God, SUBMIT YOURSELF UNTO GOD, “holy and acceptable, a living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1).

My son called me this morning at 5 o’clock. He said, “God has given me a Word. God has given me a Word!” “What is it?” “Romans, chapter 12,” he said. “Yes, Romans, chapter 12; what does it say?” “Submit yourself unto God, holy, and acceptable, which is your reasonable service.” Amen. He called me again, and he said, “Do you remember that scripture that I gave you? What was it?” I told him again. And tonight before I came out, he called me again, and he said, “That scripture! It is just blessing me so much!”

It is a blessing, having turned away from God for so many years, to have him come back with so much vigor. It blesses you because it is a promise. It is a promise. We held on to that promise! HOLD ON to that promise, brethren! HOLD ON to that promise and get down on your knees for that child. Not necessarily even your child. Sometimes God puts someone on your heart – “Give me that person, God! GIVE me that person as an inheritance! That that person might live and not die.” We are here to save the world. I let the secret out now. YOU ARE HERE TO SAVE THE WORLD! Hear me! And BELIEVE me! THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD! Hallelujah! We are here to save the world.

Those who will hear the truth – you don’t have to be strong and powerful. Just trust God with the rest. “Lord God, I don’t understand half of what the man said, but I believe it.” Hallelujah! If you believe God’s servant, God will count it to you as righteousness (Matthew 10:41). Yes. Yes. He said, Abraham believed (Romans 4:3) – Abraham didn’t know what you know. Abraham was a fool to the things you know now, but Abraham was counted for righteousness, because he believed God.

Let me give you the last scripture which the Lord has given me. He gave me the beginning and the end of the message, and bless God, the end is not in Revelation. It is in II Peter 3:10-12, But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

That is the Word that He gave me. What manner of persons… all holy conversation. Tell God you give Him your tongue. You don’t want to say anythingagainst anybody anymore, or contrary. Tell God, although these things willcome to you sometimes, you are going to give them to Him. You are notgoing to repeat it. You won’t let the enemy have his way with you. “Thisbody is the temple of the living God. I will not allow any sin to come into thistemple.” Tell God that, and God bless you.
