Thank the Lord for the privilege of coming back to His dining table, where souls might eat and be satisfied by the Word of the Lord. Praise God.
Let us go to Revelation 2 where we see that the second stage of overcoming in the Christian life is to overcome tribulation. That part of Satan’s whole nature is to attack the person whom he cannot overcome. If Satan cannot get you to sin, then he wants to destroy you, attack you physically – therefore, the Christian must have the ability to rise above tribulation.
Revelation 2:9, I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. In this portion ofscripture the Lord is talking about false Christians. There are more falseChristians than true ones. A great part of the world claims that they areChristians, but only those who are true Christians know that those claimingthey are Christians are not Christians. We should thank God that there are alot of people who never lived a Christian life for one day – yet, they go toheaven. Isn’t that funny? Like my mother. I really thank God for His mercy and love. My mother never liveda Christian life. She loved her children. She loved to have fun. She took care of us. She caused us to read ourBibles. She attended church, but she never was a Christian as weknow a Christian is. In other words, she was a nominal Christian.One day, when she was ready to die, she called everyone around totell them how wonderful Jesus was. She said, “I never lived a Christianlife, and look at what is happening: Jesus has come and is holdingmy hands. I have no right to Heaven, and yet Jesus has come andpardoned my sins, and is ready to take me into Heaven…” It wassuch a blessing.
You see, we had prayed for her and she had heard the Word of God. She believed the Word of God to a measure, but she never lived and walked as a Christian. My father never lived a Christian life. He loved to hunt and fish. He was an engineer and he lived on the railway lines. That is where his home was. He visited us every time he got a chance (chuckle). He took care of us. Every week he would send a portion to us. He loved to drink and to have fun and party – but then God blessed him with diabetes. Amen. God blessed him with diabetes, so he had to come home and stay home. He would listen to a Christian program every morning, every day. Oh, he loved to hear the Christian songs, but he never was a Christian. So, when he was ready to die, my brother said to him, “Father, do you know Jesus? Are you sure you will go to Heaven?” He said, “No, I’m not sure. I want to hear about Jesus.” My brother patiently sat with him and led him to the Lord. Then one day he called my mother and my auntie and he said, “Come now. Sing for me.” They began to sing those lovely songs (we called them “sancki”) out of this songbook. Most of the people used these common songbooks. They began to sing these songs to him. He was enjoying them and they sang until they were tired. He said, “Why have you stopped singing? Why have you stopped singing? Sing more!” and he just kept on telling them to, “Sing! Sing! Sing!” until he passed away. Praise be to God! Hallelujah!
My brother never knew God at all. He went to the nominal church and this pleased them. The world hurt him, as you know the world hurts people. Then God sent me to Jamaica to talk to him. So I went there to see him, and sat him down and began to tell him about Jesus. He sat down for about two hours and listened to me. Amen. Now, God had told me that He was going to take away his birthright and give it to me, but I had no idea what birthright meant. So, when I got saved, I said to God, “Well, God, since You have given me his birthright (he is the firstborn), I want You to save him.” God said, “Yes, I will save him.” But all through his life, there was nothing near salvation to him.
After I had spoken to him about the Lord, I did not see him again for a couple of months. I left and went back to the United States. He was a gang leader. He had a gang of men, and they would go out and tear up different places and do bad things. One day he had indigestion, so he went to the doctor for something for his indigestion. The doctor gave him Mylanta, you know, something from the store. He went back home, but he felt he was getting worse. Then he suddenly died. I said to God, “You promised that You would save him and he is dead, so You must have saved him.” You have to believe in the reality of God’s promises. If God promised you something, you must believe – regardless of what happens – that God has kept His promise. So, although this man was a gang leader and everything else, I believed God had saved him, but I had no proof. I had no proof.
So, one day I turned around – I must have been in a vision, but I did not know it was a vision. There I saw my brother sitting down quietly. He was a very quiet person. I said, “Praise God! I am glad to see you.” He said, “Yes.” I asked him, “What happened? Can you explain to me what happened? God promised me He would save you. What happened?”
Tell me, do you believe in angels? Do you believe in angels? Do you believe that a man who dies in sin becomes a devil? Yes, you said it in Czech – in English they would not have said it, but it is a demon. A man who dies in sin becomes a demon, and as a demon, he is used of the devil. Therefore, the demonic host is growing by the millions every day. But the angelic host is also growing, for men who die in Christ become angels. Do you believe that a man who is a Christian who dies is observing what we are doing? I am going to give you a hard one this time. Do you believe they come to service sometimes? Hallelujah! Is there a scripture for that? The church is against me for saying what I am saying now, do you know that? But if devils come to church, Christians also come to church sometimes. The Bible says we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1). Oh yes!
Many of the people of God who are in the heavenlies at this time died ignorant. My father never lived one day as a Christian. He went to Heaven ignorant. Do you believe that they just get everything of God immediately and they are like Paul and Peter when they die? Let me give you a hard one now. Do you believe that death perfected them? Let me tell you how stupid that belief could be. A man could give you a good blow in the head and perfect you. You cannot perfect a man with a blow. It means that something happens after death. After death, the man begins to learn about God. When Paul said that he went to the third Heaven, he went to a place where he saw a big school (Colossians 12). People were learning, but who were the teachers? Do you think that God has some teacher angels that sit down and start to tell them A-B-C? NO. You are the teachers. They are observing you. They are observing the church. They are learning from the church. When you fail God, they see your failure. You let them down. When you have a victory, you lift them up.
I will give you a better example than that. Family demons, or devils, beat upon families. As soon as a child is see what is happening on both sides of the situation. You are either becoming a saint of God, or you are becoming a devil. Amen. Now, God can snatch a person from the pit of hell, and put him in a position where he can go into Heaven. That is happening every day, because it is like the thief on the cross. He never lived one day as a Christian, but he died as a Christian, because of the love of God and the mercy of His promise.
So, we see here that the principalities and the powers in heavenly places that are in Heaven or in hell are being taught the power of God by you. Now, how do you teach demons? You teach them a lesson they will never forget. A demon comes to you and you cast him into the abyss and he never forgets that. The more demons you cast into the abyss, the fewer demons are around. If the demons know that you are a “gunman,” that you will blow them away, they don’t fool around with you. They keep away from you. That is how I got rid of some of my demons. Yes! I would have so many demons tormenting me that if I had not blown them away, I would not have been able to survive.
I am encouraging you to use the power that God has given you to put them into the abyss. If you see a demon bothering your child, you have the right and the authority to blow that demon away. Put him into the abyss until Jesus comes to judge the quick and the dead. So you see the principle that is here, that by your actions every day, you are teaching both spirits of God and devils. The spirits of God come to the church to learn more about Christ. Remember now, they cannot overcome the devil anymore. Did you know that? The devil cannot trouble them anymore, and they cannot trouble the devil, but they can minister life to you and you can trouble the devil. Yes!
So, the Lord sent my brother back from Heaven to me to explain to me what happened, and I will tell you what he said. He told me about going to the doctor and when he came back home, he started to sink. He said he knew he was dying. Remember, God sent me to minister to him before he died, and he accepted the Word that I said, but he did not receive it. You can accept Jesus as your Savior, but did you receive Him? “Okay, Jesus, I know You are my Savior, I know You are God, and I know that You are the only one that can save me.” But you did not receive Him, so this is what is going to help him to receive the salvation.
He said he found himself on a hillside looking down into a boiling lake of fire. He felt himself starting to slip down into the fire. He could feel the heat on his feet, as he was slipping down and trying to claw onto the hillside. He saw my mother across on a cloud beckoning to him to come over, but the fire was between him and that cloud, so he couldn’t. Then he cried out and called upon the name of the Lord. Who wouldn’t cry out in a situation like that? All your life, God could not get that cry out of you, but when you saw yourself going down into hell… He said, “And then the angels came,” and he disappeared and the vision ended. Hallelujah!
Now, when I tell that story and my enemies hear that story, they say, “I knew that duCille was an occult man.” That story should bless some Christians. It brought JOY to me that God is so GOOD, that He would save someone that never served Him. My brother cried for mercy, and mercy came. Hallelujah! Thank You, Jesus, for saving my father, my mother and my brother, who never knew You. Hallelujah! What about your families? There is hope for that boy or that girl or that father or that mother. There is hope for them.
I am going to tell you a secret! Keep bothering God until He promises you. Are you with me? If you get the promise, click your heels and jump for joy, because He is not going to go against His promise. Keep bombarding Heaven for those families of yours. You will be blessed, for God will save them. It says, “Some are saved as by fire” (I Corinthians 3:15). Oh yes! Hallelujah! But He knows exactly what to do to save them. Sometimes there is sickness and they suffer in sickness. Why do you think God would make people suffer so much in sickness? It is the fire that is going to save them. It is the suffering that is going to save them. Don’t you understand? Amen. They didn’t pay much attention to God while they were well, so God allowed them to get sick. God can use sickness as a weapon of salvation, or else the suffering would mean nothing at all. Pray for them. “Pray without ceasing” (I Thessalonians 5:17). Pray with HOPE, for God is merciful! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! When Mavis wasn’t feeling well and she was saying, “Should I go to the Czech Republic?” God came into her and said, “GOD IS GOOD!”
The Lord has just brought a thought to me that I should explain so that you understand this delicate part of the Word of God. He is bringing another thought to me. Turn your Bibles to Ephesians 1:10, 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: What He is saying is that there is a certain time in the fullness of things that God is going to bring Heaven – Peter, Paul, James, John, all of them – together with us down here. Now, the first question that you should ask is, “When is this dispensation of the fullness of time?” There were seven thousand years, or seven days. God finished His work on the seventh day and He rested, so the seventh day is the fullness of the whole week. We are now in the seventh day. Therefore, what God is doing is completing man, or finishing the work. He is going to finish up evil, and then He is going to rest. So we are in the millennial reign of Christ. Now, maybe next year at this time, this preaching might come to you as reality. What do I mean? You might see Peter sitting down on the bench beside you. You might see the saints in your congregation. It is not that they are not here now, but that some of us cannot see them. But some of us do see them, and they do minister to you.
So, in this time in which we live, the church is coming together. As we the Christians come together, so the heavenly host is coming together with us. We have seen them in our congregations, and they have been bowing one to another and saying, “Yes, this is the Word we have been waiting for!” You see, Jesus Christ is not being revealed TO the church, but He is being revealed IN the church, and it is only a human being who can experience the workings of Christ in his soul.
Now, all the saints who are in Heaven had been beaten up by demon spirits and devils. Suppose that a devil was beating up your child, or beating you up and you saw that devil arrested, beaten and cast into the abyss. How would you feel about it? Yes, you would rejoice. So, Heaven is rejoicing over every victory that you have over every spirit that you overcome. Therefore, this church, this body of people, this Christian church in the end time IS the overcomer church. Go back to Revelation 2, and you will see what John saw, and what he said about the overcomer. In verse 10, Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. 12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. Some of you, when you find out that Satan is living around your house, want to move. Maybe some of you want to get out of the Czech Republic and go somewhere else. I can assure you that anywhere you go the devil will follow you, for Satan’s seat is in the hearts of men. But God Almighty said that He knows your works and that you remain working for Him although you are in Satan’s territory. He said, 14But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. God is rebuking this church. Remember, it is not just a CHURCH, it is a period of time, it is a place in the Spirit. In other words, you have to get through this place and you have to overcome.
A brother called me and he said, “Brother Cec, I need to talk to you quickly, because there are some people here that are slandering you.” I said, “Praise God! If I was working for the devil, the devil would not slander me! Tell them that I am glad to hear what they are saying against me, because if I was their friend, they would not have been saying those things against me.” So, God is saying that you must not have in your midst those who encourage the brethren to receive false doctrines. He said those who eat things sacrificed unto idols. In other words, some of the ministrations that we are getting through books or through television or whatever are trying to mix your gospel! Jesus calls that “fornication.” Yes, when you mix together the pure Word of God that God has given you with a word out there from somebody else who is not giving the true Word, then God calls it “fornication.”
Many of you do not understand what the crime was of Balaam. Balaam was a prophet of the Lord, and God would speak to Balaam all the while, and Balaam had this friend who was a king, and his name was Balak. But when Israel was going to Canaan, they had to pass through the land of Balak, and it was a fearful sight to look down from a hill and see Israel spread out all over the floor of the desert. You are talking about three million people spread out in tents out there; it was an awful sight.
Now, Balak became afraid. He knew he did not have an army to fight those people. He had heard about what they did to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He had heard about the crossing of the Red Sea. He had heard how God fed them in the wilderness with manna and he was afraid of them. He felt that, “There must be something that I can do to them spiritually to destroy them.” I want you to understand that the Muslims feel that way about you right now! They feel that they can destroy all the Christians in the world because they have the true god, and the Christians have the wrong God. They are praying five times a day, and they believe that, through their prayers, they will spiritually overcome the Christians.
Now, I am just giving you the picture of what was happening with Balaam and Balak. So, Balak called the prophet of God, and he said, “I know that anything that you curse is cursed, and anything that you bless is blessed. Curse those people so that we can overcome them.” In other words, he was saying, “Send some demons among them so that we will be able to overcome them.” Now, Balaam wanted to go so badly, and through his desire to go and curse the children of Israel, we have the first case in the whole world (I do not think there was ever another one), where a donkey preached a message.
Now, I want you to be honest with me, brethren. If a donkey walked through that door and came up here and began to preach a message to you, what would you do? Tell me; be honest w i t h me! Tell me what you would do. Balaam said, “If I had a sword, I would kill you!” The donkey said to him, “Am I not your ass?” Put yourself in the position of a prophet like that. I would leave immediately. I wouldn’t be arguing with any donkey! But he finally went and deliberately, eventually, got to the place of cursing the children of Israel (Numbers 22).
Now, in those days… I want you to understand the difference between what prophecy was at that time, and what prophecy is today. The ancient prophets would not be able to help themselves. They would be overcome by the Spirit of God and they would just start talking for God and they would have no control over their tongue. But the present day prophet has the Spirit of God in him and the Word of the prophet is subject to the prophet (I Corinthians 14:32). Right? It means that God can give you a Word to prophesy, and you can say something else.
Do you see how dangerous prophecy is in our midst now? But God has a check and balance, so that the Body of Christ judges the prophecy. If somebody comes up and says, “Thus saith the Lord, sister, go jump out the window.” You would not just jump out the window. You would ask God, and if God in you does not tell you to jump out the window, you don’t move. But Balaam, he couldn’t help himself. He went to open his mouth to prophesy against the children of Israel, and he said, “Blessed be Israel…”
It is like what happened to me when I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I did not know anything about the Holy Ghost, but I was praying and the Lord said to me, “Open your mouth and pray out loud.” I thought to myself, “I am going to say, ‘Our Father.’” But when I opened my mouth, the Holy Ghost broke through my mouth, and I started to speak in Hebrew. So the devil came to me and said, “You are getting crazy.” I said, “Well, I have never been crazy before, so I wonder if I really am getting crazy? Let me try again.” I opened my mouth again and my tongue went off and I started to say something else.
Now, brethren, do you know why people speak in tongues? Because the most destructive instrument in your body is your tongue. You can use the tongue to bless God and then you turn around and use it to curse somebody. So the moment the Holy Ghost comes into you, He grabs hold of your tongue. He shakes the tongue, and that is a sign and a symbol to you that God has come in. Is there a scripture for that? Isaiah 28:11, For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12To whom he said, This is the rest… Praise God! Balaam tried seven times – can a man be so ignorant of God that he would try seven times to curse God’s people? Balak said to him, “What’s wrong?” Balaam found out that he could not curse the children of God. He went to curse them seven times and he blessed them seven times. So Balak said to him, “Surely, then what is the secret of these people?” I want you to understand this part of it. You see, it was you who wanted me to preach to you three times a day. You have to put up with me now. Balak said to him, “I called you here with all these riches ready to give you to curse the people of God and you have blessed them seven times. What is their secret? I’ll tell you, there is a secret in those people over there.” There is a secret in the Body of Christ. Balaam answered, “If they sin, God will turn against them.” My God! Now remember, that is a man who had just finished prophesying and blessing them, but then the Spirit lifted from him and he let out a secret.
Balak laughed, “Thank you!” He went and he got his sister, and she rounded up all the harlots that she could find, and they went down into the camp of Israel and tempted the men. And Sin got a way among the people of God and 24,000 were killed by the hand of God. Brethren, sin will destroy everything that you have from God, if you let it.
He said in Revelation 2:15, So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. I have been preaching the Word for nearlysixty years, and most of the people that I preach tostill have the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. Why is it sodifficult for Christians to let go of the spirit of rulingover their brothers? The reason is that this spirit isthe order of the world. You cannot start a businessunless you are a boss or have a boss to tell the peoplewhat to do. So God expects you to be diligent in yourbusiness, but to be subject one to another in thechurch… I will show you how difficult it is. Youhave a business in which you have invested all of yourlife earnings, and you get some of these smart brothershere to help you work to get this business going.You have to be their boss in the daytime to tell themwhat to do, and to make sure that things are in order.But when they come to church, you are all of a suddenequal, and that is the problem. The man who isthe boss in the workplace wants to come and be theboss in the church. So, God is teaching you godliness.Let us read Matthew 20, because this will giveyou an understanding of what Jesus Christ is saying.
Matthew 20:20, Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 21And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. Here is a woman asking Jesus Christ to makeher two sons the “Vice President #1” and the “VicePresident #2” in the Kingdom of God. It sounds humorousto us,but that is exactlywhat sheasked for. Itsounds humorous,but it is exactlywhat thechurch hasdone, rightnow. We haveone church thatordains a manto be a Pope. Idon’t knowwhat it meansin your language,but in the Latin it means “papa” or “father.”Now, the title that he has written on his forehead andon his belt is “Vicarious Filii Dei.” Now, that says heis the “Vice Christ.” “Filii Dei” means “Son of God,”so he is “Vice Son of God,” exactly what the motherof James and John asked for her sons. Now, the peculiarthing about that request is that if the “President”is absent, then the “Vice President” is “President.”
The present Pope, his name is Ratzinger and he is German. He came out with a scripture that almost blew the Catholic Church away. He said, “There is no mediator between God and man, save the man Christ Jesus” (I Timothy 2:5). The Catholics said, “WHAT?” They said, “What are you going to do with Mary? Because we have to pray to Mary to pray to Jesus to pray to God to pray to the Father.”
You see, we are outcasts, so we just go straight to God. But the Catholic has to pray to the priest to pray to Mary to pray to Jesus to pray to the Father. But Ratzinger, as a great theologian, came in and set things straight and said, “There is no mediator between God and man, save the man Christ Jesus.” And when they were confused, he refused to answer them. Do you know why? He is saying that he is the man Christ Jesus. Are you hearing, brother? This is where we are. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ANTICHRIST! The anti-Christ is reigning in Rome. And every little pastor that rises up and takes charge of a church is anti-Christ. Now, I can feel it that I have to give a little time to let that soak into your brains. The word anti-Christ does not mean against Christ. It means a man who puts himself in the place of Christ.
So, you will have to know, brethren, if you know the Word of God, you will know that God says, “I hate the Nicolaitans.” Two thousand years ago, when this was written, God hated the Nicolaitans, and today He still hates the Nicolaitans. So anyone who comes out and rules a church and is a boss of a church, he is anti-Christ. He is taking the place of Christ. So we have gone full-circle from where those brothers asked Jesus to have the seats at His side, right back to this present time where the church is now fully in rebellion against God. It is a terrible and a peculiar rebellion when you come and you take the place of Christ and you teach Christ. By this doctrine the Catholic Church is going to get the Protestants. The Protestants are going to turn over and say, “All hail Pope Ratzinger!” Amen.
He got himself in hot water the other day, and he is still in hot water, by saying that there is no place in Christianity, or in any religion, for violence. I was very glad myself when I heard him say it, because I thought to myself, “Well, at last, the Catholic Church is going to repent.” The violence that the Muslims are committing is child’s play compared to the violence of the Roman Catholic Church. Right now, the Jesuit army, headed by Ratzinger, is the most violent army on earth. Right now! Secretly.
Some years ago, maybe twenty years ago, Brother Sonmore had been in South America working with another brother, preaching the gospel. The reason I am saying the name of the brother is because some people will believe I am speaking fables. I am talking about one of the brothers that we know very well amongst the Body here. Brother Sonmore heard some news and he rushed back to Colombia, I think it was, to see what had happened. What had happened was that this other brother, the friend of Brother Sonmore, had heard a knocking on his door and when he opened the door, a Catholic priest stood there with a rope in his hands. The rope was attached to a motor car, and the priest threw the rope around the man’s neck, and the car pulled off and dragged the man to his death. The Catholic Church was violent in the past, and you can read it in “Fox’s Book of Martyrs.” They never repented of violence as far as I know. I heard Pope John Paul said that he commended what happened in the fourth century, and therefore, they put their signature upon murder. I once read a Catechism, because I always keep myself a good Catechism, and the Catechism said that, “All heretics are worthy of death.” If you can understand what I am trying to say, the violence that the Catholic Church is doing, and has done, is greater than the violence that the Muslims do. Amen.
So we go back to Matthew 20, and it says here, 24And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 25But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your [slave]. Now in your Bible, did it say slave or servant?
Martin Kluson: Servant.
Brother duCille: Mark it out. In verse 26, they put the word minister – that means to say the guy with the collar. And in verse 27, And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant – slave. You see, they put it in English like that in order to preach the doctrine of hierarchy. Jesus was preaching against hierarchy in this chapter. So, He is not against you being a boss in your business, but He is against you being a boss in His church. So, praise God!
Revelation 2:15, So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Right now, we are battling with brothers whowant to take over in the body of Christ. You cannot tell him to do anything. Hetakes over and he becomes the boss and he tells everybody else what to do. Soactually, what God is saying to you is that you must not allow the Nicolaitan spiritto take over this group (the group in Czech/Slovakia). Praise God. He says torepent. Of all that I have been preaching, if you are guilty, He says, 16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
We have called brothers together several times to complain of their actions of this, regarding the Body ministry, and going off on their own and doing their own thing. And the brothers bow their head and say, “Oh, I am so sorry.” And we pray with them and they say they are sorry, and they leave the conference of elders and go out and do the same thing immediately.
So, let me tell you what “repent” means. Repent means, “STOP doing it, turn away from it, and turn to GOD!” If you stop doing the wrong thing and you do not turn to do the right thing, you have NOT repented. Do you realize that there is a vacuum between stopping doing the wrong thing and starting doing the right thing? It is three movements. Suppose I stop doing my own thing, and I turn around and start doing your thing? It is just as bad, if not worse. There is a way when God has something He wants you to do, and unless you do God’s will in the church, you have not repented of your own will. Jesus, when praying in the garden, said, “Father, I would love if this cup were taken away from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Thy will be done” (Matthew 26:39).
Revelation 2:17, He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Now, what God is saying to us tonight is, if we can overcomethese spirits, if we can overcome these human urges, if we can overcome thehuman will to do our thing, if we can overcome the spirit of Balaam, then we will begiven a new name, a new nature. In other words, something is wrong with yournature. From your birth, you have inherited a BAD nature. But thus saith the LordGod, “I want to give you a NEW nature, a NEW NAME; I want to make you a newperson. And you cannot be HALF-new. I want to make you wholly new! I want totake away your nature from you and give you My nature.”
Brethren, God is asking us not to be humans, but to be divine. Are you willing? ARE YOU WILLING TO BE DIVINE? Then we will close. Praise God. God bless you, brethren!
