God Bless all who love the unshakable truth of our loving Creator.
                 THE QUICKENING OF OUR DIVINE SPIRIT                      12-10-57-----by Dr. Wesley Swift In the book of Ezekiel,
these words:--’The blind leads the blind and they all fall into the
ditch’---never have we had a more opportune time to see this. For except the concept and purpose be of God
and except it be the Word of God, and from His ministry, which is sent forth
from the pulpit, it has no purpose or lot in our midst. And those that are supposed to be the
delivering of God’s Oracle, and are His ministry should not be sending forth
from the pulpit, or any platform wherein they have an responsible
position---any statement, or any words they are putting in God’s mouth that is
not God’s words. Now I am going to tell you
that we are in the midst of a great religious upheaval. And great religious activity is also taking
place. But don’t think that mass
religious activity is necessarily a sign of great spirituality. It is not.Â
Mass religious activity, where lots of good people go--- or where lots
of good people of the children of God sing, and talk because they get
emotionally stirred up---do not think that this has God’s blessing upon
it. Nobody was more religious than the
devils crowd that ran the synagogue in the days of Jesus. Probably no one is more religious than devil
worshipers are. Religion is not
necessarily the sign that this thing has the blessing of God. In fact, the most dangerous enemies that
Jesus ever had were in the religious field, even tho they were worshiping something. We tell you at this
moment, that there are a great number of people who are being hoodwinked and
bilked from words that come from ministers of Israel who are not preaching the
word of the LORD. This is why the scriptures
said that their own mothers and fathers are going to say that our preacher sons
are no preachers, and the words that they preach is an abomination to
Israel. We are ashamed of them, and we
want you to fire them. And eventually,
they will. And you will be surprised at
who will go. Now some times we find
that to tell the truth is not popular with people who just like to be carried
along and leave the thinking to some one else.Â
Because when something is going on and there is great expectancy, we
find we have had that. For instance, in
Madison Square Garden, we had Billy Graham.Â
And there in Yankee Stadium, was held one of the largest religious
activities that we have had in these United States for a long time. So important, that even Vice President Nixon
came down and stood on the platform, altho he was a Quaker, to call upon the
world for World Peace, and to support the tranquility he saw emerging. So you see this was not all for the
awakening of a nation, but to pacify the people. Now listen. Billy Graham went to the United Nations, and
he could not speak in the General Assembly.Â
But they had an auditorium that they opened up to him. The delegates went to hear. And he held a press conference there in
which he said:--’I want to warn this organization that if it wishes to continue
doing the ‘Will of God’, and to accomplish mighty purposes for world peace,
then it must conform to the Light. For
it has made a grave mistake in partitioning Palestine and giving half of it to
the Jews. It is important that it must
give all of it to the Jews, and do everything in its power in implementing the
giving of all that territory from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers all the way
to Egypt, all encompassing in that land including the Suez and all the
perimeters of the Gulf of Akaba to the Northern perimeters of Old
Palestine. Unless you do this then the
wrath of God will come on every man associated with this.’ Then he said:--’Do not worry about whether
the Arabs like it or not. It is not
necessary to please them. You must
please God. The Arabs are Ishmalites
and the children of Edom.’ And he
said:--’They will move with Soviet Russia which is Magog, and it is Russia
which is going to seize the oil and minerals of Palestine. But the truth of the matter is, that this
organization and these United States should see that the Jews are given all
this territory. I have made this known
to President Eisenhower and to many Senators in the Congress. And I have made it known to them that this
is the only course for this institution of the United Nations to take and
survive.’ Now let’s think on this
for a moment. He had been to Washington
D.C. and there he had talked of the same thing. There is in the United States 243,000 churches. So supposing saying roughly, that 60% of
these churches are Orthodox. And 60% of
these churches believe that Peter’s right arm is riding on the stallion of
God’s conquest with Billy Graham, because he has been given ‘an eye for an eye’
of publicity campaign for his time. He
has played upon more peoples emotions than any Evangelist of this era. And now they will parrot what he has said in
their churches for the next few weeks.Â
It will appear in all the major news papers. I took a copy out of the JDA which is the Jewish press release,
in which they were happy about Billy Graham’s statement saying that he is the
best friend we have among Christendom in all times. Now let’s just take a look
at this.  FRIENDSHIP WITH THE ENEMY IS
ENMITY WITH GOD. There is no question
about this. When a man says that he
speaks for God, whose program is a delivered message for God, goes to the house
of the Anti-Christ and tells them to give the Kingdom and the territory which
belongs to Israel to the Jews, who are the enemies of God--and says that God
said this,--then my friends, he is one of those God said is preaching in My
name---but---as YAHSHUA says:--’I DON’T KNOW YOU.’ Oh, you say, but Billy Graham is one of the greatest Evangelists
of this hour. But when he arises and
says--by the spirit of God,---and says God said this and God said that, when
god does not say it----then influences the nations of God’s Kingdom to turn
over a part of your heritage to God’s enemies,---there is no excuse for this
behavior. NEVER. Oh, you say---he speaks with ignorance. But God did not set a man for a Clergyman to
speak with ignorance. He may be as a
man permitted this ignorance, and you may be permitted this ignorance, saying
this is what I believe---but God does not permit a man to use His WORD as his
oracle in this way and then call him a Clergyman. There is no excuse for that.Â
In otherwords, God has said that the Abomination of the Desolator is
standing in that place. He has made
this very clear. Now there is no design on
his part to see justice. He says it
doesn’t matter what happens to the Arabs.Â
Let them push them all out of the way.Â
We are going to have to fight with Russia for this land anyway. Now,--in the first place,
Billy Graham knows that the Anglo-Saxon people are Israel. Billy Graham’s
campaign manager went to college with my secretary. And whenever he comes to Los Angeles, they have lunch
together. And some of my tapes have
been played before Billy’s campaign manager.Â
And in the last year, he has listened to some of my tapes. And they have debated and argued about this
in his office. More than that, he knew
this for he had originally stated to his campaign manager that there is no
doubt of the truth in all this but it would be so unpopular that it would
destroy the vastness of his enterprises. Now, when you know the
truth, then you weigh it for value, for popularity and fame, and move ahead in
a field like this,--then this is why you read that the PREACHERS OF ISRAEL ARE
LIKE DUMB DOGS CRYING IN THE DESERT AND BLIND IS LEADING THE BLIND AND THEY ALL
FALL IN THE DITCH. If the United
Nations and the United States listen to this, they will fall into one of the
greatest ditches---of Armageddon---they have ever seen and land in one of the
greatest disasters which we have ever faced.Â
We can lose many of our sons if we move into the wrong position. Let me tell you. This whole program is the work of Jewry, the
enemies of Jesus Christ. And it does
not fulfill the prophetic policy of scriptures. So, Billy Graham was given
the opportunity to speak. And this he
has done. And there is no question that
this is a sign of the hour that we are living in. ---’Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of
Heaven. Unto them it is not given.’ ---Thus there is no question of this hour in
which we are living. For there is a famine
on the part of the living for the word of God.Â
On the other hand, each one of these situations are going to be
victoriously handled by the sons of God who know. And there is not one little thing that goes down to defeat. Because I know my FATHER and we declared
unto you just last week, that the Scripture cannot be broken. Now, the Kingdom of God is
not so small, even tho it started out here in earth as one man’s family and we
increased until we were one-sixth of the world population. But we are still quite a mighty host in the
earth. And are the technological
masters of most of these situations. Now the all Eternal Master
has still kept His word for He says:--’Fear not little flock. It is your Father’s good pleasure to give
you the Kingdom.’ And the
Administration of that Kingdom is what is being referred to. And while the program of God is to restore
and to empower all of His sons. Unto
you who know shall the power and the leadership of the Administration be
given. The other day, the enemy, as it
continually does in its attack upon Christianity,---in China,---and a reporter
reported it----saying this was the propaganda they were using against the
church which existed in China---and they said:--’Christianity is not as
beneficial to the masses as the economy.Â
They were using this quote:--’To him that hath, more will be given. And to him that hath not, all will be taken
away.’ So they then say that
Christianity is just for the rich, because the poor will lose what little they
have. But this quote is not talking
about the world’s substance. It is
talking about the will and the mind of God.Â
To him that hath, more will be given---it is God’s purpose to give the
administration of the Kingdom to the children of God. To give it to those that know--not to those who do not know. After all God is not a fool. God is not going to turn over the
administration of the Kingdom to those who do not know how to run it. He is going to climax this situation with
those who do know. You would even do
that in your own life. God is not even
disturbed with what is going on tonight.Â
God is not worried about the Negro taking over America. He is not worried about all of you being
mongrelized into one group. Remember
that God knows and has the last word. We are undoubtedly in one
of the greatest hours of your history.Â
For we are about to see things done.Â
It is my belief that we have watched the binding of many of these
situations. And when the Sons of God
start to bind, they can confuse the enemy.Â
They have to be confused. For
everything they have planned and put together in the past few weeks has fallen
apart. It is bound to confuse
them. Just remember that you can do
anything that you want. This is your
country. And when you do it by the
spirit and the power, your victory is absolutely assured. Now, there are some things
which are according to divine purpose which are in this book. Great is the mystery within this book. But untoÂ
you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, unto them
it is not given.’ Among these I would
call your attention to what relates to all the sons of God. You say--what about Billy Graham?---Well,
there is no doubt of the fact that some day God will put him back into His own
image. And he will think and speak as
he is supposed to. But he will not be
the High Priest of the Kingdom. Don’t
worry about that. He will not be a
leader in the Administration of the Kingdom.Â
In fact, he will be happy to be a doorkeeper in the Kingdom, because
--the first shall be last, and the last first.Â
And unless they say ‘Thus saith the LORD’, and back it up with the kind
of decisions that come out of the scripture, they are not speaking with the
spirit of God. Remember that God does
not have to get a lot of sermons ready.Â
And does not have to map out a different strategy for the
preachers. All that the preacher has to
do to be the voice of God is to speak the truth. But it better be the truth.Â
For when it is not with the spirit of God, which he is speaking, then
judgement lies at the door of the preacher.Â
But all of the Clergy of America, have been blinded. And they shall be chastened for the way they
have not fed My people. Now, what is the important
thing for this hour to know what God is about to do? We have been telling you more and more of the things that God is
going to do. There will be an increase
in Spiritual law as it relates to the Kingdom along with the realization that
we are the children of God. Before we
go on in this subject, I want you to turn with me to the book of Acts. I want you to remember as we said last week,
the words of Jesus reiterates the words of the 82nd Psalm that we are the
children of God. And then Jesus said
that all of you are God’s and did not I give you the Law and that the scripture
cannot be broken? Now let’s go a little
further. Let’s go to the 17th chapter
of Acts and listen to the Apostle Paul talking to all your Sythian brothers in
Israel and this is what he said:--’For in HIM we live and move and have our
being. For we are also His
offspring. For as much then as we are
the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold
or silver, or stone graven by art and man’s device.’ And we ought not to worry about this because the Godhead is in
you and we are His offspring and all of you are the offspring of God. Now, there is no way to
tear that passage up. Just stop and
think a bit. The Apostle Paul
said:--’In HIM we live and have our being.’Â
In HIM we have our life and His life is in us. And this has been in the book of Acts all the time. In HIM we live, we move, we even have the
sense of His being in us, in His existence, in His creative power, and in His
spirit. And we are HIS offspring. More than that, we are not to be carried
away by all the things which are falsely erected as the image of God, because
you are His image. And you are the
power of His Godhead in the world today.Â
Why is that? Because the Godhead
is invested in His sons, deity and Administration. It says:--’Ye are Gods’ so God has included you. Now, let me cite to you
this. We all know that there was not
anything not right in the plan of God, even the expectancy of a man’s conduct
resting in a physical body and put in the environmental of Lucifer. Remember, that Lucifer had taken over the
world before your race ever came here.Â
Remember the whole catastrophe of evil had taken over before you came
here. And when God said we are going to
put man in Adam, then Adam was the name, the spirit resident in that body. Wherever God talks about this in the Old
Testament, the word is Adam and is talking about your race, but translated
man. But at first it was Adam. Now, remember that first
man then was Adam and resident in him was the spirit of the living God. He was BEGOTTEN of GOD and was GOD’S
offspring, thus the ISSUE of GOD. Now let me cite this to
you showing it is true. Let me take you
over here to a statement made in the book of Corinthians concerning Jesus
Christ and this is the way things were.Â
‘For the first man Adam, was made a living soul, and the second Adam was
made a quickening spirit.’ The first man, Adam was
made a living soul. And inside this
vessel called Adam was a spirit of God who had been with him before the world
was framed. But his first physical impact
was made thru the veil of a flesh body, and thru the senses of all the things
which were happening round about him.Â
And the soul of Adam was a complete record of all that he saw and
experienced in this physical body. Your
soul is all you know, for the word in the New Testament is___________or
mind. And some of this word is related
to the mind and some to the spirit. But
everywhere the word soul is used, the word is______, for the first Adam was
made a living, recording mind--for he recorded all things and held them in his
memory. And these are nasson electrons
piled layer upon layer in the mind. We know that Adam had
spiritual power because he was given dominion.Â
But he surrendered it by violation of Divine Law. It is important that we note something here. The first Adam was a begotten son of the
MOST HIGH GOD, His offspring, His Issue as we read in the book of Luke that
Adam was the son of God. Now, Jesus Christ was by
the preparation of His own spirit the exact Issue of Deity. That the physical body was begotten by the
elements of spirit and that the fullness of God resided in this body, the
scripture tells us. Now, what does it say?--It
says here that the first Adam was a Living Soul, a complete recorded memory of
everything which had occurred. And the
second Adam was a quickening spirit. Now, the spirit of God
walking among men, so that He might be like His brethren, is called a second
Adam in the book of Corinthians in the 15th chapter and the 45th verse. Thus the first Adam was divine, but the Second
Adam was Divine with a full spiritual knowledge and consciousness. Now, listen. That is important because that is your
family. That means that the spirit
inside of you has the same capacity as did Adam and also did Christ. You are a quickening spirit. There resides in you a quickening
spirit. And there lies within you also
a living soul. Now, what does this word
Quickening mean? Strange as it may
seem, we have two words meaning quickening.Â
There is one in Hebrew and one in the Greek.  And the one in the Hebrew means a life giving spirit, but it is
a peculiar word, for it says----A RULING LIFE GIVING SPIRIT, or a CIRCLING LIFE
GIVING SPIRIT.  And the word in the
Greek is a complete adjective even in translation, because it says again, that
the word quickening in the Greek is to impart a circular motion. So you see the Hebrew word and the Greek
word have the same basic function and this is a circular motion, a ruling
motion or rotating motion. And this
motion is involved with Light. So the
word quickening means a rotating, or ruling motion filled with light.  And many people thought this referred to
the living instead of the dead. But you
turn over here into the book of Timothy, and also in the book of Peter, and it
talks about the fact that the LORD shall judge between the Quick and the
Dead. Oh, you say---that is just
between those who are alive and those who are dead. There are a lot of people who are dead and are walking around
here today. But the people who are
QUICK are those whose spirits have ben accelerated and they are accelerated by
the process of the accelerating of God’s Spirit. And that hour when Christ comes to judge His Kingdom, then
everyone of you will have immortality.Â
All that you have to do is to ‘quicken’ the process inside of your
physical body. Now, the rotation of the
electrons around the nucleus has to be speeded up and you would have
immortality. You go back into creation
and re-creation, and it tells you that God created the heavens and the earth
after He had made one null and void.Â
Then you go back here and you read:--’The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water, and
the word is imparted motion. But the
strange thing is that this is a circling imparted motion. So the MOST HIGH INCREASED OR SPED UP
ACTIVITY UPON THE CREATION THAT HE HAD MADE. Now, remember that the
Apostle Paul tells us that things are not made of what they do appear. Here you are in a physical body, and what is
it composed of? We turn for one moment
over here to the book of john and we listen to the words of Jesus. And He tells you some very important things
that you are to understand which are concerning your life and your condition
and destiny. And He tells us in the 6th
chapter of John, verse 63:--’It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing. The words that I
speak unto you they are spirit. And
they are life.’ And the flesh profiteth
nothing. So what does He mean? Jesus had just gotten thru expressing to
them and telling them about a law of life.Â
Here you are a living spirit of God, a living son. And you are down here in a body of
flesh. So what is it made of? You know one of the most fantastic things is
the way some would translate things. Some tell you that God came down and
gathered up a ball of mud and made man out of it and breathed into it and out
walked a man. And a lot of people
believe that. They don’t understand
anything else. And lots of things are
made out of mud. So there it is. So it was translated that God made man out
of the dust of the earth. Now, this is not the way
He did it. There is not anything in
this Universe which exists that God did not make. It does not exist which is not the creation of God. And you can read this in several
places. And several tell us as does
Peter, that everything which exists, everything in the Universe has been
quickened by the existence of God. Â
Everything IN THE UNIVERSE. It
tells us IS QUICKENED BY THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.Â
And you might say, how can this be?Â
But in the 6th chapter of Timothy, verse 13:--’I give thee charge in the
sight of god who quickeneth all things.’ Now, go backwards and we
find that God holds all things together by the revolution of the energies of
these things. There is not a student in
all the world that does not know those things---one electron and one proton,
one electron going around the proton going round and round and round. What makes it go that way?  Out of the mind of God, out of the ages
past, there moves out of that Great Mind, the greatest of all Minds, the Spirit
above all spirits, and the Light and energy moves out. And those electrons and protons move across
billions of miles of space and they are going somewhere. You say what do you do, gather them up? No. They know where they are going and when
they will come together. They go all
those miles and when they come to the right place, they are ready for God’s
next creation. God is always
thinking. He is always putting
together. And all that energy for the
putting together of the Universe comes from HIM. Now, remember, that every
atom from every substance, in this Universe, where it is close to you or in the
furthermost sun, is composed of the same thing which you have here of the
electrons going around the protons.Â
Everything is your world, every element of substance is held together by
the light energies that came out of HIM for HE is before all things and by HIM
all things consist. By this same line
of thinking, the Apostle Paul who knew more about this than anyone, said:--’I
didn’t know whether I was in the spirit or in the flesh. God knows, but I was there. Some things I can’t tell you, for you would
not understand them now.’ But things
are made of things that they do not appear to be made out of. However since things are not made of those
things of which they appear to be made out of, they are of substances.  You see masses of molecular mass and some
are solid, and you classify them by their appearance and by their reactions,
and from the smallest atom to the largest piece of Uranium with all of the 238
electrons moving around it---all of this is by law. All by the process of thought out of the mind of God. All is held together by the circular
quickening of God’s spirit. Now, the word quickening
means---energy which causes it to move,--like the Universe going
around,---everything is in order, even the programs of God are in order. And even you will eventually get back to the
starting point. He can manipulate it as He wants. And today even the powers of darkness are out of order. But as fast as the program of God’s
Universe, everything is moving in order.Â
But the MOST HIGH GOD in a burst of energy, can put everything in form
and order. There is nothing more
important than for you to know than the fact that the force which holds
together every atom, everything, is HIS creative spirit out of the energy of
HIS MIND. Now listen. The first Adam was made of the elements of
the earth, and the word is Elohim. Thus
then, God begat man in His own image in a body of His own making of the elements
of the earth, and holds it together in the same way that the Universe was
made. Thus you have in your body all
the elements of the Universe. You are
not therefore made of dust. You are
made of the elements. You were not made
of small particles of dust. You were
begotten, not molded out of dust. The
fact then remains that the first Adam was then a living soul. But he also had something else. He had spiritual capacity able to think the
thoughts of God. He was thus the son of
God. And had all capacity to do all
these things from the beginning, including the capacity to build a Kingdom and
to bring that Kingdom out of nations.Â
He made a covenant with those nations thru Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and
on down to your time with all the White Christian nations of the world. Because you are the descending sons of the
MOST HIGH GOD. But under this policy of
the violation of Divine Law, they lost the Aura of Divine Spirit. Something happened. But inside of Adam when the spirit of God
begat a body, in which the life of the sons would dwell in, that body had an
acceleration of energy around it later than the present seed of the elements
without it. And because of it then,
Adam in the beginning, had an element of radiation, an aura. And that radiation was a stepped up rotation
of the elements. Thus it was that
without that rotation of elements coming to that immunization point things
disintegrated under normal processes.Â
And eventually disintegration and judgement would take place, but under
the condition of your original begetting and creation, and under the condition
that God had purposed for you. And
every prophet understood this. God by a
thrusting impute of His Spirit is going to accelerate every atom of your body,
until once more it glows with radiance and with the Aura returning round it
makes that body absolutely indestructible. Now, let me cite this to
you that the spirit of God says that you have the spirit. The same as is in Him. And He says I am going to quicken it. I am going to make that spirit a carrier for
every atom of that body and it will give you immortality.     To show you the this was
not something that we thought up in 1957, God gave us sources for something to
think about. This was just His time for
truth to be brought out. So I turn over
to the 71st Psalm, and this is what I read:---’O God, thou which hath shown me
great and sole troubles, shalt quicken me again and shalt bring me up again,
right out of the earth.’  What did he
say?  He said ‘O God, you have shown me
great tribulations, but you are going to gather every atom of my body. He is going to bring my body right up out of
the earth and put me in it. That is
what David believed and said it back there in the 71st Psalm. Now, I want to draw your
attention again back to the book of Romans in which we talked to you about these things,
and we said that Jesus made the declaration and Paul said that the spirit which
raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you---that He shall quicken your mortal
body by the spirit the dwells in you. Now I am going to upset a
few theological misrepresentations. A
lot of people have been taught that this meant that when men die God is going
to resurrect them. And this is true for
it is taught in the scriptures, but He is not talking here about dead men. Because the spirit does not dwell in a dead
man. The moment a body dies, the spirit
goes back to God who gave it. The body
goes in the grave, and the spirit goes back to God. There are no dead men in the Kingdom of God. Absent from this body is to be present with the
LORD. This body is just waiting for
resurrection, but the people are not dead. Now what does it say
here. If the spirit which raised up
Jesus--and we have already read that Adam was the son of God--- he has the
spirit of God in him, meaning this whole race.Â
And if the Spirit of God dwells in you then, that spirit which raised up
Jesus will quicken your mortal body, using the spirit that dwells in you. In otherwords, that spirit---you can command
it. You have authority to call on that
spirit that dwells in you and command that it accelerate your body. You have the authority to call on it and
claim life. You do not have to live by
the law of death. You can live by the
law of life. I died almost 2000 years
ago. How? I died with HIM on the Cross.  And when you die you are free from sin. If I had not died with HIM on His Cross, I would not be here
speaking with you. I have His word and
the scripture cannot be broken. I died
on the Cross with HIM and I am absolutely free. And I have a right to live as free. And I know I am not going to lay around in a graveyard. For is the spirit takes command it has a lot
of things to do. And it is not going to
plan on leaving. It will plan on
staying. Now, listen. We turn over here to these words of Jesus and
He said that you do not stay alive by anything that you do in the flesh, for
the flesh can’t take care of itself.Â
Oh, you say--you keep all of the laws of God and keep all of the
balances in order. But let me tell you
something. You may do everything in the world, but only the spirit can keep
life in the body. The best doctor in
the world cannot keep you alive if there is no desire of spirit of life
there. People slip away when we say
that they should not die, whereas others can be torn up by many actions. And yet, they have a will to live and they
outlast all circumstances even when the doctors think they will die. Life, my friends, is in realization. Life is in constant protection, and life
gives the soul the only remembrance of what it has been through. But only the spirit can sustain the life
therein. Now, it is a good thing
that He saves the soul because, it says:--’He that saves the soul is wise, for
it covereth a multitude of sins.’ How
do you save the soul?--According to all its experiences, living by the law of
the spirit while inhabiting the flesh.Â
And when living according to the law of the spirit, instead of letting
the body take on everything that they throw at us, then live by the spirit, not
somehow, but triumphantly. For He has called
us unto victory thru Jesus Christ. There is no place in these
scriptures which states that you and I should be put down and tromped on, or in
anyway defeated by the powers of darkness. Now, all thru the
scriptures, we are told these words, for instance over here in the 5th chapter
of John, it says:--’For as the Father hath live in Himself, so had He given
unto the son to have life in himself.’Â
You are a son and we have life in ourselves. We are told in this same passage that the spirit quickens us, but
the flesh profiteth nothing. But we are
also told here concerning this same thing, that His life which dwells in HIM
would not leave His body in the grave, but the spirit in this body quickens the
body. Who? The Man--Christ Jesus.Â
The spirit quickened that body, and He walked in that body with
immortality. Now, we reach the climax
hour of the last days and the quick and the dead are mentioned. The dead are those who do not have life in
them. This is the world. You have heard a lot about people who are
dead but who are walking around, and yet there are also millions who will never
die. Why? Because they are quickened.Â
And they are being quickened.Â
And the spirit within is doing the quickening for it is the spirit which
is of God. And Jesus said:--’The words
that I speak, they are spirit and they are life, and they will quicken this
body.’ And he that will accept this
claim, can keep this body alive for ever more.Â
This power of the spirit is one of the most powerful forces that you can
claim. Remember that everyone of
the prophets talked about the day when this was going to happen. We are told that it will be the Day of the
LORD. It would be the end of the age. It was the hour when struggle and trouble
would come. It would be the hour of Armageddon
which was yet to come. Now, listen. We have reached a point when the conditions
of prophecy are all here. Dr. Comparet
and I were talking before the meeting started, and we were talking about the Jubilee
Year. And these things were shaping up
from September of this year and on.Â
Everyone of these signs seems to be here and the measures are here for
the LORD to wind this whole thing up on His time table. Now, we have every sign on
the outside, but not in the pulpit. So
the blind leads the blind. And the
people hunger for the word of God. And
yet they say:--’Thus saith the LORD.’Â
Jesus talked about the sun, moon and stars. They are here. He talked
about the sign of the ‘son of man in the heavens’ and it is here. Just last week, we had a mystery,--a space
ship. It undoubtedly had some kind of
problem. It poured out some kind of
metal and it fell to the ground over in Arizona. People saw it. But the
government does not want you to know about it because this was a ship from
outer space. But here is
something. You are living in the time
when a ship out of space, came and poured out something and people saw it. But now you are told that this was not true,
nothing occurred. But it did. God is starting to break open the minds of
this seed to the facts of the powers of immortality. Now, I know this is true,
because now the devil is beside himself.Â
Do you want me to tell you how the Devil works? I have taken three clippings out of the
newspapers which are trying to tell you how you must avoid certain things to
live. The American Medical Association
and the devil which are probably the same thing, is getting ready to try to
sell you on accepting sudden death and pagan diseases, unless you take their
shots. And the shots will give you a
tiny bit of the disease so that they can try to see the effects on you and how
they can profit by finding something to try to help you get over the effects of
the shots. Remember they are telling
you all these things so they will have a mass acceptance for all this. Do you know what the scripture said? ‘If you will keep My commandments and live
by them, none of these sicknesses will effect you.’ So do you want to live by the law of the spirit, or do you want
to be sick and take the shot? It is
just that simple. Just that
simple. You say--but I don’t keep all
that law--I can’t. But yes, you
can. It is your faith in Jesus
Christ. Get this in your mind
tonight. It is the Christ spirit in you
which counts. Not what you have done in
the flesh. Remember this is what I am
claiming tonight, because HE finished that and set me free. Live by the law of the spirit and you do not
have to accept all these things. Now, what do you do? Remember, ‘Rise and shine thy light has
come.’ How does He do it? He quickens. The spirit accelerates the electrons in your body. I tell you that the atoms in your body will
have the electrons in your body rotating faster than an atom out here in a showcase. There is life in this spirit. And this life is throwing out an aura and it
is giving a pattern of substance to it.Â
And it creates a wave length of feeling in your life. Let me tell you something. We often tell you not to leave off this
assembling of yourselves together. For
there is a quickening law concerning the spirit, concerning the pattern of
energy. Two people come together, and
they think of the words of God. It is
their life. And if two people think it,
then it becomes four times as strong because it squares itself. And if four people think it then it is sixteen
times as strong as it would be if one person thinks it by himself. And if one thousand people think it, then
the wave length of energy that puts the life of God upon you is much more. That is the reason why the more people who
think it, the more impact upon the nation.Â
It is easier to talk to one thousand people than it is to just one. It is easier to talk to five thousand people
than it is to one thousand. Let me tell you this. There never was a greater impact than the
life giving spirit of Christ. Thus
there is a quickening power, and HE can warm up or cool every atom in the
atmosphere. When the disciples came and
the sea kicked up, you know what He had to do don’t you? He had to change the atmosphere and the way
the wind was blowing. He had to balance
the weather. And this was being done by
the energy out of His own being. He
said ’be still’ and the wind and the waves obeyed Him. Do you know that you can do this? We say that sometimes our
greatest mistakes lie in the fact that we do not recognize the power that
abides in us. Just like when Peter
walked on the water. It was important
to look down, and when he did he was distracted. Jesus said ‘come’ and it was not important that Peter use the
power that he had, and he started out.Â
But it was only when he looked down and lost his concentration on what
he had that he slipped down into the water.Â
As long as he walked by the power of the spirit, he had no trouble
walking on the water. Remember the day when
Jesus was walking down the street in a little town and a funeral procession
came down that street and Jesus said ‘Stop’.Â
And the people were weeping.Â
They were filled with grief.Â
Jesus looked at that young man and He said--’Arise’. And He quickened every atom of his body and
the young man stood upon his feet. Do
you know what makes that important?--It is because in Rome, they have a record
of this in the Vatican. And the
Sanhedrin which was made up of the people who the Jews wanted to give the
Kingdom to, were so angry about this work of Jesus that they complained to the
Emperor. They said that Jesus was using
witchcraft and raising the dead and this threatened their whole government,
even there in Rome. But we find this
record of the Sanhedrin complaining to Rome because of this resurrection of
that boy from that funeral procession.Â
I want you to realize that the testimony of what happened to that boy is
more important than what the disciples said.Â
Because HE was not just testifying, HE just did it. So they were angry and they said He did it
for we saw it. ---The enemy is more angry over this quickening power than
anything you can think of. Remember when Jesus went
to Bethany, and Mary and Martha said:--’If you had been here our brother would
not have died.’? Jesus said:--’I am here.’ And then He said:--’He that believeth on Me
tho he be dead, he shall live.’ He
asked if she believed this, and she said that she knew that He is the
resurrection and the life---and that she believed that the bodies would be
raised in the last days. But that is
not what Jesus wanted them to believe---that they knew that the dead would be
raised in the last days. He wanted them
to realize that He was here now and He was the second Adam with the Quickening
Spirit. And it was His job to quicken
every spirit of the Father. This is why
He turned to the Jews and told them that they could not be quickened. They had to have the wave length before they
could start anything moving. You have
to have the wave length before anything can start to revolve---before you can
speed them up. And He said:--’You
cannot understand My speech because you cannot hear My words.’--you are on the
wrong wavelength. Oh, you may hear the
words, but you can’t make anything out of them. If I brought a Chinaman in here and he spoke to you, oh, you
could hear him, but you would not understand his words. They would make no picture in your
mind. You would hear the noise but it
would make no picture in your mind because of your culture and your background,
your conscious remembrance, and your memory.Â
And your background and spirit have nothing in common with him.  And you would not get one single image. Since you are the sons of
the Father, He said:--’I have come to gather up My own. I will gather them that have My Spirit, and
when I call them, they will hear.’ And
He said to the Jews---there is no sense in My trying to tell you anything
because you can’t hear Me. You don’t
get one spiritual picture out of what I am saying, because you cannot
understand. I come to the Lost Sheep of
the House of Israel. But you believe
not because you are not My Sheep. Now, there is no anger
here. Just the realization here that
the Devil’s children were not on the same wave length. The MOST HIGH had just declared something. He said--’you can’t hear for you do not
receive.’ Now, they came down there
and they watched what Jesus was doing.Â
And Jesus had just made this declaration. And then He said as He stood in front of the tomb of
Lazarus,--’Come on out Lazarus’ and He quickened every element in His
body. The book of Nicodemus tells us
how the devils could not hold the body of Lazarus.  Said he just shook himself and came out of the grave. So Lazarus left the Nethermost realms, and
when he came out, he knew that this was something that he could not
explain. But remember this. It tells me in the book of John, how the
Jews who were standing around plotted how they might put Lazarus to death
again. This quickening spirit had
brought Lazarus out of the Nethermost and they plotted how they might put him
back in there again. Thus they warred
against this Quickening Spirit that they could not understand. Jesus could walk the earth and heal the
blind and bring  people back from the
dead. And they were afraid of that
power, so they wanted to get rid of Him who had that power. Listen. The scripture tells us that the whole
kingdom of darkness is going to be defeated by the mighty light of the Life of
God. This is a brightness that rises
with healing in its wings. We tell you
tonight, that the process is there. The
energy is there. I want you to get this
thought tonight, that what makes you immortal is not coming---IT IS HERE. One night I listened to a great man of God,
who had one knowledge which he was able to impart. And this is what he said:--’Everything that belongs to a child of
God--then God has given this to him.Â
Because he has the capacity to believe HIM.’ This thought went out like lightening, like a flash of
electricity, and people were healed, they moved, they were filled with joy under
the pressure of that man’s message. And
this man was not any different than any of us.Â
There was not anything mysterious about him. He did not look any different than any of us. He liked to go fishing and so forth. But he had a message that touched the
people. But the moment He started
to bring you the program of God, he was a transformed human being. Some said it is spiritual power. But there was one thing, and one thing
alone. The moment he started to say
‘Thus saith the LORD’, he was a transformed vessel with spiritual power. I believe this. He said one thing, and one thing alone---’This is the Word, and
the Word has Life.’ I want you to turn once
again with me back to this word in the book of Romans:--’Therefore, if the
spirit of He who raised up Christ from the dead dwells in you’----and I believe
that spirit dwells in me or I would not be here tonight, but if that spirit
dwells in you, it shall quicken that mortal body which you are living in, by
that spirit which dwells in you, by your command. When you get up out of here and say to that body, come on, we are
going home, then you are in command.Â
When you get up tomorrow morning, don’t ask the body how it feels, you
just tell it how it feels. You are in
command. You say--but it won’t work. Yes, it will. You don’t have to run down and get a shot, you just tell it that
you are okay, and that is from the word of God. The Word had Life and power. You can say--no one is
going to take over my country and say it is going down, because that is not the
word of God. It is your job right now
to bind the entire Supreme Court, not to let they take you down, but for God to
take them out of the way until we have men and women on that court to represent
this nation as the last nation of God.Â
That is your job right now. It
is not important how it is done. The
LORD has taken people out of the way before this. I believe that someday every Negro will be taken to Africa and
out of this nation of the Kingdom of God.Â
The Communist Party tells us that before Labor Day is over there will be
race riots in this nation. If it takes
that kind of pressure then that is alright, but before it is over there will
not be a Negro here in these United States.Â
There will be none of these unassimilable houses left in this Kingdom of
God. Remember this. Start binding these things and start
claiming victory right now. You live
above any reaching of judgement against you as a child of God. We are living in a cycle. And we have to bring down this house of evil
which is against you. But don’t worry about it, for it will be done. There is nothing which will prevail against
you. And it doesn’t matter whether you
understand this or not. There will be a
great earthquake and you will survive that.Â
But there will be another one which will make that one seem like a
little tremor. This one is just
judgement to make the Cainanites move out of your midst. Judgement that sweeps the world. Now, let me tell you
this. The more I see of the Washington,
D.C. statesmanship, the more I rejoice
that I put my trust in God’s army. I
know that when that invasion, that striking power comes, that you, my friends,
will be immortal. Those that do not
believe it may die. But those that
believe it will go right thru this holocaust.Â
For Life is the power you will release in that hour. And those who are looking for the victory
thru Michael, and Jesus and the Kingdom are going to see it. And those who are claiming it will walk
thru. I watched young people go thru
this last war with this Faith. And the
LORD surrounded them with a wall of fire.Â
They were not necessarily of such a great conduct, but they were
protected with the simplicity of Faith that they are the children, and they
survived all this. They went thru
situations that traditionally would have destroyed many, but they survived. I believe that this spirit
that abides in you, here in 1957, will quicken this mortal body at the right
time. And you will do what you have to
do. You will save all these remembrances
and you will add to them. So by this
spirit, which is in you, refuse to let disintegration work in this physical
body. Refuse to permit this judgement
to effect you which is coming upon the world.Â
Refuse to live by any law but the law of Life, by this spirit in you which
will cause an acceleration in your body.Â
We have not time to complete this message. But I can tell you that there are already people who can feel
this acceleration and they have never felt so much vitality, so much life
before. And there will be testimony out
of your Congress that they are beginning to feel this acceleration in their
being, that they are feeling victorious. You don’t become depressed
because you don’t have room for it. I
am furious with I pick up a newspaper and suddenly I am commanding that the
enemy receive the judgement by the power which is there. God wants you to do this. And it can only be accomplished by the
Spirit which is in YOU. (end of message)
