Predestinated to Be Conformed to the Image of God’s Son

December 12, 2025 by Admin

[Printable version]

Scripture reading: Romans 8:29-30

Let us read in Romans 8:29, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” 

You may ask, “So, Brother duCille, you start preaching predestination now?” Oh yes!

  • predestination to be saved;
  • predestination to be sacrificed;
  • predestination to be glorified;
  • predestination to be just like Jesus Christ.

That is your (our) predestiny.

You ask yourself a question, “So then the other poor guy out there, who is lost, is not predestined at all? He is lost and therefore he was predestinated for hell?” It is a fallacy. Let us look at who were predestined.

Romans 8:30, “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called.”

Have you ever heard anybody boasting about his call? The truth is you are called before you are saved. For them whom he called, He justified. He made them just as if they had never sinned. When did that happen? When they accepted the call. But let us search the Scriptures and see who God has called for we will find out that He called everybody.

John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 8 and 9 says, “He (John) was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”  We see here that the words light, Word and Jesus are synonymous.

Did you ever think of it that no human being can go to hell unless he has met Jesus and rejected Him? Did it ever occur to you that no human can ever go to heaven unless he has accepted Jesus?

Turn your Bibles to John 3:17-19, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

What is the condemnation? That light (the same light we read about in John 1 – the Word, Jesus) has come into the world and men reject Him. But if a thing has never been presented to you how could you reject it? Jesus stands at the crossroads of all humanity. Here we find millions and millions of people being born without knowing Jesus. It is God’s responsibility to reveal Himself to them and to you! All of your responsibility lies in the area of receiving or accepting that which God gives. And every sinner must have a revelation of Jesus Christ before he can go to hell.

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, February 1978)

Thought for today: We were all predestinated to be conformed to the image of God’s Son. Let us fulfill our responsibility and accept that which God has given.

All Things Work Together for Good…

December 11, 2025 by Admin

Scripture reading: Romans 8:28

Let us look at Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

Some of us do not know that all things work together for good. The only difference between those who know and those who don’t know is that those who don’t know grumble when they get hit but those who know rejoice. Every soul has problems sometimes. Some of us have them all the time. But some people know that their problems are deliberately designed by God to lift them into a higher realm. Others don’t know. And that’s the difference between the person who can rejoice over problems or whatever happens in his/her life and the one who cannot rejoice. Whether you do or you don’t know, all things work together for good to you.

Somebody may say, “There is a qualifying phrase here, ‘to them that love God.’” But there is a qualifying phrase to that qualifying phrase, “to them who are the called according to his purpose.” So from the time God called you, even before you were justified, all things began to work together for good to you. You were like the bull, outside of the Tabernacle, when those men threw the rope over him and began to haul him towards the gate of the Tabernacle. You too were hauled to the brazen altar to be born again. All things began to work together for good. There you were cursing and saying, “Oh, I have the worse luck. Why did it have to happen to me?” But God is very much pleased with the progress. Remember, “…all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, February 1978)

Thought for today: Let us be among those who know that all things work together for good to us. It will help us to rejoice in our problems, which are designed by God to lift us into a higher realm.

The Holy Spirit Fire

December 10, 2025 by Admin

Scripture reading: Acts 2:1-4

Let us talk about the fire today. In the Bible the fire fell three times. We are talking about the Holy Spirit fire because there were other fires also. There was a fire that fell in Sodom and Gomorrah and we do not want that fire, although we are going to get it. The fire that we are talking about is the Holy Spirit fire. It is the fire that lifts you from one realm, from one dimension of God’s creation, to another realm, and to the very highest realm where you become like God.

God is taking the dirt, and He is going to make the dirt immortal. Immortal Dirt – that’s what we are. He is going to make this dirt immortal, and out of the immortality of the dirt He says in 1 Corinthians 15:54, “And this mortal shall put on immortality when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption….”

This is the point in which you can’t be corrupted any more. When you have attained, you can’t be killed any more. And I am saying, brethren, it is just years down the road before this company of people walk into immortality. IF THAT IS THE CASE, WHY ARE WE SO WORRIED ABOUT NATURAL THINGS? We should be putting all of our hearts and souls INTO that immortal investment. Oh God, help us! God help us! Amen.

Let us go back to the fire. It fell three times. The first time it fell was when Moses obeyed God. He said, “Attend to every detail, every iota of what I tell you to do, DO IT, and build this TABERNACLE according to the pattern that I have shown you in the mountain.” (Exodus 25:9). The man could neither eat nor drink water for forty days while God was instructing his soul and engraving a pattern into his soul. God was drawing a pattern of a building that he should make into his soul, so Moses could not forget one detail of what God had said. Then when Moses instructed the children of Israel and said, “Do this”, or “Do that”, and somebody said, “Well, I can do it another way,” Moses replied, “NO! Throw it away. Do it this way.” Because God told him how to make the tabernacle.

I wonder, “Why?” “Why?” “Why did God go through so many details to make the tabernacle?” No man knew. It was one of the mysteries and one of the secrets. But when Moses did it, the Bible says, “When he finished the work, he dedicated it to God.” He said, “Lord, here is what you told me to do.” And God said, “Amen.” And when God said, “Amen,” fire fell down from heaven, and burnt up the wood. The fire then remained in that tabernacle for 490 years. (Exodus 40)

Nadab and Abihu came in and they messed around with God’s fire. They took fire from their house, brought it into the tabernacle and put it on God’s fire. Then they went into the Holy Place and lighted the lamp with their fire. After that they went to the Altar of Incense but an explosion occurred and it killed them right there, it struck them dead. (Leviticus 10) And you wonder, what is this that God is talking about?

God is saying that no “strange fire” must come into His tabernacle. No “strange fire” must come into the House of God.

(Excerpt from Breaking Through the Veil, a message given in July 2006 in Illinois)

Thought for today: Let us put all of our hearts and souls into the immortal investment and not be worried about natural things. God will take care of everything we need.

God Is Creating a People

December 9, 2025 by Admin

Scripture reading: Colossians 2:9-12

I have heard God speaking in our congregation in our songs, and in prophetic words. We thank God that there is prophesy in the Body of Christ in the midst of us; that God is speaking through the Body in prophesy. You see, God created a prophetic ministry so that the prophesy would be given to the Body. I don’t know if you understand it. The minister ministers to the Body and then the Body ministers. The end result of the ministry is for the Body to minister. The prophetic ministry will be abolished one day. The apostolic ministry will be abolished. All of the other ministries will also be abolished. But guess what we will be? When God abolishes the ministry, the WHOLE BODY will become the ministry, and then you will turn around and minister to the world. This is what God is training you for – to minister to the whole world; to bring the world alive! Because death will not triumph over God’s creation; God’s creation must triumph over death! So that there is no way that Satan is going to have anything near a victory, and we are the people who God is training to use. Now when I say, “We are the people”, please believe me, that WE ARE THE PEOPLE! I didn’t mean us, I mean WE.

In other words, God is creating a people to finish the job that Peter, Paul, James, John, and the apostles began. He is using a people to finish it. When God made Adam, He knew all the trouble that was going to come. He knew all of the destruction, but He looked at Adam and He said, “It is good.” (Genesis 1:31). It was a prophetic Word. God said that ‘it was good’, when it wasn’t good, but He saw things that are not as if they were. God saw that we would come forth and be victorious. So when we sing our songs about Zion, I wonder if we know what we are singing. We are singing about Zion, the very heights of God’s creation, that God is creating within you. You sing, “Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10).

God has not only given us the prophetic ministry, but He has also given us prophets. Prophets are people whose duty it is to prophesy. They have a job, and their job is to prophesy. But then the daughters of Philip prophesied, yet they were not prophets. But there was a prophet named Agabus. (Acts 21:9-10) So God is creating a prophetic nation, a prophetic body. He is creating an apostolic Body. You don’t have to worry about trying to be an apostle now. It is not your time. Your time will soon come when all the ministry of God will be incorporated in the Body, when God incorporates the Body with the fullness of Himself. The Scripture says that Jesus Christ was the “Godhead bodily” incorporated (Colossians 2:9); a walking, talking, God-man. He was the prototype of what God is making us to be.

You have to understand that I am not perfect, BUT I have a Spirit that is perfect. If I can only keep my ears and my heart to follow that Spirit, I will deceive you that I am perfect. I will act like I am perfect and some of you actually believe it. But it’s not true! NEVERTHELESS, I have a perfect Spirit and that is what you are seeing. Do you understand that I am talking about you? The same pertains to you!

(Excerpt from Breaking Through the Veil, a message given in July 2006 in Illinois)

Thought for today: God is training you to minister to the whole world, to bring the world alive.
