            This Generation Shall Not Pass
Away                       By Dr. Wesley A.
Swift     6-25-61 We are
talking about this generation which shall not pass away until all these things
be fulfilled. You will note the words
of Jesus in the book of Matthew, after He has called this to the attention of
His disciples, events that have become common place news in your time. In which He had discussed the strange forces
which are at work for this struggle for the earth. He talks about the wars and the rumors of wars and the powers of
evil forces seeking to take over the world.Â
Discusses clearly the famines and the pestilence, the earthquakes, and
the floods, the conditions of upset weather and unbalanced factors of the
Universe. He tells His disciples about
false religious leaders and false ‘Christs’ who will arise, which will attempt
to lead the nations of God’s Kingdom into error. And He tells them about these things which will climax the world
events. The gathering hoards which you
see on the horizon, and the backdrops which you see to the prophets. And in this situation, He talks about this
condition which arises in which we see even ancient Jerusalem filled with a
strange people. And these people, the
scripture tells us who occupy it, are the Abomination of the Desolator,
standing in the Holy Place. Now, we
realize that the average Christian has been taught today that these people who
are in Palestine are the ‘Chosen People.’Â
They are chosen alright, but they are not chosen like the Church has
selected them. For they are the
Abomination of the Desolator standing in the Holy Place. They are responsible for the wars and
depressions hurled against the Kingdom of God throughout all its history in the
earth. They are responsible at this
hour for creations of depressions, and economic manipulations, ready to plunge
the world into a completer manipulated control under the prophecies of World
Government and world Communism. They
are the exploiters. They are the
Abomination of the Desolator, and they stand in the Holy Place. If anyone questions this all they would have
to do is to take a good look at the occupiers who are now dwelling in the land
of Palestine and see who they are. It
is not talking about the Ishmaelites, who happen to be on the other side of the
wall in Jerusalem, and who hold down Jordan, for they have a right to dwell in
Jordan and are holding a partition of the city. This is talking about the enemies of Christian civilization. And one of the things we can say in this
declaration that Jesus gave us is, ‘When you see the Abomination of the
Desolator standing in the Holy Place, that is one of the signs that you are at
the end of an age.’ When you see the
fig tree putting forth all of its shoots as it has been doing in the last twenty-five
years, and political Zionism reorganizing,---not the design of God’s
Kingdom---not the Jerusalem of God’s Household---but Political Zionism which is
actually a part of the fig tree, casting forth its untimely figs. And as John in the book of Revelation has
stated, ‘When the Fig tree casts forth its untimely figs, that is the time of
battle---anarchy and war.’ The untimely
figs are well identified with these people because they have cast their attempt
to seize the world into an untimely focus of attention in the world. They have taken over Palestine with the
assistance of World Governments. They
have watched the land which was one of your ancient heritages partitioned. All of these things have happened in your
time. The
scripture well identifies these ‘figs’ and you can go to almost any group of
Clergy anywhere and ask them, ‘Who are the ‘figs,’ and they will tell you that
the Jews are the ‘figs.’ And this is
what the scripture is talking about, when Jews went down into Palestine, that
would be the ‘fig’ tree budding. I have
almost no problem from getting that acceptance from any Ecclesiastical
group. But do not think for one moment
that this ‘fig’ tree constitutes any part of Israel because it does not. Israel is an ‘Olive tree’ and the nations of
Israel are ‘Olive branches.’   And the oil out
of the Olive tree is the symbol of Life and Light in the earth today. There is no
question of the fact that the people who would live in the period when we would
see the occupation of Palestine by the Abomination of the Desolator, when we
see the hoards gathering round about, when we see judgements begin to effect
the earth. In fact, whether you realize
it or not, you may be in one of those cycles of judgement at the present
time. The scriptures tell us how in
this climactic age, the sun’s heat would seem to scorch the earth. That it would be hotter than it had ever
previously been and all over the world there would be unprecedented heat waves. The heat would be intense and the men would
curse God when they could not find any relief from it. They would survive it, but they would just
be miserable. We are going thru cycles
in the weather and these things are all marking some of these things which
Christ was referring to. At the same
time, anarchy seeks to seize the world.Â
The Beast System under the influence of Anti-Christ makes war against
God’s Kingdom. Now, there
is one thing about it that has a lot of hope in it and that is that the people
who live to see these things from the struggles which surrounded Jerusalem,
from armies in W.W. II, down to this climactic period of time, when we see the
forces of evil lining up to seek to capture the world and destroy God’s
Kingdom, we are also given the picture of the surrounding forces of dark races
of the world coming against God’s Kingdom.Â
And they all fit in the picture of the Beast Kingdom and in the panorama
of the Prophets and their background. Now, Jesus
said when you see these things come to pass, ‘Verily I say unto you THAT THIS
GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED.’ This generation shall not pass away. What is meant by ‘all these things shall be
fulfilled? What Matthew is talking
about is also reported by St. Luke and he tells us that men’s hearts are going
to fail them from fear because of looking at things coming upon the earth. We are told that there are many of these
situations which involve the nations of God’s Kingdom and again, is a
repetition of the same report made by Matthew.Â
He tells, ‘Behold! The Fig tree and all of the trees, and when you see
these things transpire, you know that you are at the end, then remember and
lift up your head for ‘YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.’ For this generation is not going to pass away until all these
things be fulfilled. What then is
involved in ALL THESE THINGS? What does it mean when it
says that this generation shall not pass away?Â
There is an understanding which must come to the children of the MOST
HIGH, concerning the fact that they are the progeny of the MOST HIGH who have
been placed in the earth, and a realization that this generation of which you
are a part of, is the last generation which remembered God’s great Kingdom as
it was under the protection of Covenants which we did not have during some of
those times---the oppression of the stranger in our midst. Today, take the average young person who has
gone thru the events of the last eighteen years or say twenty years, he has
never lived in America when Socialism was not a power. He has never lived in these United States
when the Constitution was being fully carried out, when it related to the
people of God’s Kingdoms as the citizens of this nation. These young people have gone thru a period
when we have had strangers in our society, and these strangers have been
teaching in our colleges and preaching in our churches. The result is that the information which has
been given to a great number of people in the areas of learning where they have
been given a great number of people in the areas of learning where they have
been trained and taught. It has been
slanted with Communism and Socialism.Â
And they have never had an undiluted ministry. Today in God’s Kingdom in every area, we are watching these
strangers who have come in. They came
as exchange professors, or they have claimed to have fled from tyranny in one
form of another. Then they are suddenly
permitted to teach our young people.Â
And then before very long they are carrying out the very objectives
which they were supposedly fleeing from.Â
Never in the history of our nation have we had a greater demonstration
of this. We have had twenty or thirty
years of this. And the last twenty
years especially in our colleges, these destroyers who have come in, have
introduced for us a wave of juvenile delinquency and lawlessness and
degradation that never existed before in our society. Twenty-five youths riot with assaults and rapes and destruction
of property on the beaches of our cities.Â
Violence occurs in every city as the youth is being swept into this
great mall of disaster, which is actually a part of the disintegration of this
hour, due to the infiltration of the forces of Anti-Christ. This is one of the great catastrophes of
this period. I can show you how racial
crisis is being brought among us. How
the Negro crisis is organized. And how
they are moving into youth groups, until there is nothing but catastrophe and
mongrelization. Even the churches have
been going around and saying, ‘Yes, you must recognize them as your brothers
and embrace them and join with them.’Â
Thus, instead of being warned that they must separate themselves because
of the danger of this hour, many churches have not fulfilled their
responsibility. They have not been
teaching, ‘Thus saith the LORD.’ Nor
have they brought ti their attention as to who they are. So these have all culminated into some of
the catastrophes of this day. To the
average youth of this day when you talk to them, you would have a hard job
getting them interested in the things of God’s Kingdom. You have rather a hard job getting him to
stop and listen long enough to learn.Â
He has too many things upon his mind.Â
They have organized his life and living, filling it with waves of pressure
and propaganda.  And if this nation is
to be saved,---and it is to be saved,---if this civilization of which we are
apart is to rise up and awaken, it is going to be done by this generation which
watched these things start and are still here observing these things and are
speaking out against these situations now.Â
That is why one of the great spiritual transitions of this day is now
occurring in patriotic as well as a spiritual awakening in regards to these
forces. That is why you can say that
one of these societies such as the John Birch Society, the Christian
Nationalists, and all of these movements, all are significant and important
because they are teaching and pointing out the dangers of the enemy. That is the great
spiritual force which God is starting to turn loose among His people. And a nation is starting to awaken across
one end of it to the other. They are
denouncing these practices and opposing these positions of influence, and
discussing things which had never been previously discussed. Thus we are watching this awakening and we
are seeing its results. And we are
watching it every day in our own relationship.Â
We are watching it each day as to the tapes and the messages which go
out and the tremendous acceptance we find across all denomination lines from
one end of the nation to the other.Â
There is a new quickening, an awakening going on. But within there is something big and
something tremendous in store. When the
scripture says, ‘This generation shall not pass away,’---it is because God knew
that this was the generation, your generation would have to do these things. And if your generation did not do it, then
it would not be done. You will have to
do it, so there is no question in our minds that this is the things which will
transpire. I think it is significant
for us to think of our relationship, as to who we are and from whence we came,
and what we are going to do. And what
the purposes and powers of God’s program actually are as it relates to us. After all, we are the children of His
Spirit. We are the people He foreknew
before the foundation of the world. We
are the people He predestinated elect according to His purpose. If we could but remember out of the patterns
of the ancient yesterdays of the majesty and the Glory which related to our
Father, if we could behold for a moment the things we beheld while with HIM
before the world was framed. As we look
down out of these creating Cosmos ans saw the shifting forces of Divine energy,
we were children of spirit. We had
Celestial consciousness and we understood things that were going on. And we had no capacity to think in terms or
error, even in the capacities of our thinking.Â
And while we observed the catastrophe which was sowed by Lucifer, the
catastrophe sowed in that rebellion were far removed from us when we were
children of spirit. We had been begotten
of the spirit, we were the household of the MOST HIGH. But there became a time when thru the grace
of our Father, we were to hear the words which He declared when He said ‘I am
going to send you into the earth. I am
going to establish My Kingdom and I am going to put you in bodies of flesh,
even as those who rule in bodies of flesh.’Â
And when He said this is what I am going to do, then HE said, ‘How many
of you want to go?’ And there was not
one person in this room who did not say, ‘I will go.’ In fact, as children of
spirit, you thought there was no capacity for anything but conquest and victory
and triumph in the putting down of error and erecting of Divine standards. Our Father explained to the conditions which
would transpire, and forces of evil the pattern of the senses and the surrender
of error, and how the Glory and the Aura in the plain and field around the
bodies of God’s children would be lost in the hour of their violation of
Law. How the cohabitation with the
forces of Lucifer would cause darkness to descent. Then God said, ‘I have made you this covenant, this promise even
before the foundation of these events thru which you are going to pass. I have promised that I am thy Savior. I am thy Redeemer and I thy Father will take
on also a body of flesh like you have, and I will put aside all darkness and I
will end all death. And I will destroy
all the judgement which rightly should be against you for your error, because I
am GOD. Because I have sent you into
the world, I will also immunize you from these forces of darkness with its
death. And I am going to establish My
Kingdom with you and thru you forever.’Â
These were the things that were told.Â
Your names were written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation
of the world. Â You were the Elect of the
Father before the foundation of the world.Â
You were predestined by the Father to conform to the Majesty and power
that God Himself would wear when He walked among you. This was a story of a people, of a race. There were covenants God made and He made
them with Adam and He made them with Seth, with Noah, and with Shem and with
Abraham. Sometimes people talk about
the unconditional covenant the God made with Abraham.  And they talk about the covenants of the law and then they move
into the promises of the Covenants of Grace which were unveiled in the 35th
chapter of Jeremiah. And they think
that every time that God made a covenant and swore it by His own righteousness,
His own holiness, and His own power, that covenant was absolutely assured. He made them with finality and with your
race before you came into the world at every turning point. And these covenants are final and they are
eternal covenants. The significant
thing they do not grasp is that you are a progeny. And as well as such, you are a descending offspring of the MOST
HIGH GOD, with a spiritual descent and an eternal destiny, with the
responsibility of carrying forward the work of God’s Kingdom which cannot be
done by any other people, nor, my friends, be taken away from you.  God has declared it and God has promised
it. Now, in every period when
you have been involved in great problems, God has intervened. The intervention of God according to His
Omniscience and His own wisdom, is according to the way God felt that it should
be done at that time. For He knew more
about it than anyone else and His Omniscience assured you. You must remember that He saved you out of
every situation. He separated the pure
seed of Adam. He called for a cleansing
of the womb. And He brought forth Seth
in the image of Adam. And the Sethite
race is the strain of the Adamic race, which has come forth white and pure, for
God has cleansed it. The Sethite house
then moved down thru the House of Noah and then Abraham and Isaac and Jacob,
which came forth from the seed of Shem.Â
And we are well able to see that God with selection and Divine guidance,
and spiritual illumination has called upon His people to maintain racial purity
and racial self-respect. Called upon
them to preserve the Holy Seed. In
fact, when Abraham sent out a servant, Abimelech to get a bride for Isaac---he
sent him to get a bride form his own people.Â
And this was true also with Jacob.Â
This is true all the way thru God’s continuing covenant.  Never was there any error until some of the
doctrine taught in the church as types and shadows came about. In some instances we are told that Abraham
sent his servant out to get a bride for Isaac and this is a type of Christ who
sent out for a bride and the bride is to be taken from all the people of the
earth, form all of the nations. And
they say that the bride for Isaac was a type of a bride for Christ. Let me point out to you
that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Abraham is not like the father, and Isaac like some distant son,
because Abraham was the offspring of the Eternal, of the seed of the Adamic
race and was the descendant of something which God had placed in the earth in
the days of Adam. I want you to know
that Jesus the Christ or YAHSHUA was one and the same with the Eternal
YAHWEH. He was the Almighty and Eternal
God. And He was the Eternal and forever
the Everlasting Father. That is why in
Isaiah you read, ‘His name shall be called Wonderful, the Everlasting God, the
Eternal Father.’ And ther eis no
question of the fact that the type and shadow breaks down. But if they wish to press the ‘type and
shadow’ you must remember that Isaac was to receive a bride from among his own
people. And God has never identified
Himself with any other race, and never called anyone else His kinsmen. That is one reason why that as some
recognize a relationship with God, the race that He has called, they see it as
‘the husband and the wife.’ And they
refer to Israel, as does God when He says, ‘I am married unto Israel.’ Then they like to cut off Israel and start
out with the Church, not realizing that if ye be Christ’s, then you are
Abrahams seed. And this is a continuity
of the same people. It is that same God
married to the same people and I speak concerning God married to the
Church. Flesh of His flesh, and bone of
His bone. It is the same Father and it
is the same wife. Then He says, ‘If you
think that I have divorced Israel, then let me see you present a bill of
divorcement. Go find I somewhere, where
did I put her aside and say that she is all thru? Almighty God has a covenant with His people. And the offspring of His people are His
progeny. And those of you are the
offspring of Israel, God’s own seed in the midst of the earth. The program of His Kingdom depends upon the
spiritual awakening and the empowering of His Seed. God will never accomplish His purpose in the earth with another
people. He says, ‘My Glory I will not
give to another.’ And His purposes are
not going to come up short. Deep inside of each of His
children is a spiritual side of them, a spiritual seed. And we have often mentioned that you are
spiritually born, having been begotten of the Spirit in the heavens, and
begotten of Adam in the earth. You are
children of the Spirit and you are children of flesh. You have been begotten in the spirit and you have been begotten
in the water. This is what Christ
talked about when He said, ‘Ye must be twice born. Born from above and born on earth.’ Often we have called your attention to the fact that Christianity
has as its covenant promises and the things it seeks to institute a restoration
of everything that you have ever possessed, in all the background of your
experience. It renews your mind and it
regenerates your spiritual energy. And
it restores to you all of the power of your ancient heritage. Remember that is the program and that is the
Gospel. It is a renewing, a
regeneration and a restoration. And in
the earth, it will be a new thing when the sons of God with all the power they
possessed in the heavens and with all the capacity of spiritual force which
belongs to their spiritual nature stand forth as the Sons of God in the earth. There is no doubt that we
have watched the great turning point in history, as YAHSHUA Jesus the Christ
walked the earth as a man among men and no man spoke as He spoke. He unstopped deaf ears and He opened blind
eyes. No one had ever accomplished
these things for good from all the older religions. There were many magic tricks before. There were things they did to show that they had supernatural
power to abide as evil spirits. But
they were not constructive things, they did not heal. They did not raise the dead. Â
They did not still the storm.Â
Every miracle which came forth from God walking among you and not
ashamed to call you His kinsmen, were constructive creative works putting
things together. I want you to realize
that God said He did not come into the world to condemn it, but to put it back
together again and to give it life. And
He intends to regenerate it and He intends to give it life. And He intends to use you, His many sons and
daughters to accomplish this purpose.Â
To set the captives free and to bring in the greatest era in all human
history. You cannot help. But remember the words of Jesus over here in
John, and I think that these things must be constantly kept in panorama before
our thinking, in which Jesus talks about the Holy Spirit. There is nothing as important as for you to
realize the essence of God’s mind and its directed energy. This is a conscious applicable force moving
out of His great spirit nature. Now, we have God, a
spiritual being, spirit, soul and body even as you are, perfect in all of His
attributes. But we don’t parade God out
and say, ‘Here is the Father come and meet HIM. Here is the son today, come and meet HIM. And here is the Holy Ghost, come and meet
Him.’ And yet they say, ‘These three
all together make God.’ And if one or
the other moved, they would be 1/3 or 2/3 gone. So you turn over here to the scripture and it says that the
fullness of God dwelt bodily. He was
the Everlasting Father. He was before
all things. And Jesus said, ‘Before
Abraham was I AM.’ I want you to
recognize that Christ was the Eternal ONE.Â
He was the embodiment of God dwelling in the flesh.  He understood very fully everything the
world was capable of knowing, because in earth He was the ONE who was the
fullness of energy which held the whole universe together. We sometimes have to battle thru the
vagueness of translation and change in the King James Version. When Jesus talked with His disciples about
the descent of the great ‘Illumination’---one of these things that was to come
upon His many sons. One of the reasons why His
atonement had to happen first, one of the reasons why He had to lift the guilt
complex form men so they would be capable to receiving it----from these men,
His children, His embodied people---and this was that He had to make an
atonement first so that no one would have a guilt complex. No longer would they fear to receive the
light and the knowledge. So that they
no longer would feel cast down and could now lift their eyes to heaven and
receive guidance and then go forth and do Divine work. People with a guilt complex never do the
work of the sons of God. They are
always standing about the excusing themselves for their own short comings,
saying, ‘I could never do that. I am
too great a sinner to do that.’ Do you
know that we have more Christians in the world today testifying as to their
transgressions and their sins than you have any idea of? You have no right to stand around confessing
your sins as the reason why you cannot accomplish something. You are to cast them off because you are
free. And you are not to keep a guilt
complex on yourself because if you do you are more likely to transgress than if
you accept the Grace of God and to forward to do His work. That is one of the reasons
I want you to think. When Jesus spoke
to these who were his children, their great secret---spiritual seed was already
down inside of them. They had Celestial
being whose wavelength was one with God.Â
His vibration was one with his own spirit. He could receive, he could vibrate to the essence of God’s own
thinking and purpose. Thus let us turn
for one moment to the words of Jesus.Â
He said, ‘I address Agra Phenuma the Creative Spirit, the Celestial
energy center of My own Spirit being.Â
And thus I speak as all men speaking, I address this Spirit. I pray that it shall give unto you the
Paraclete (and the word is translated ‘comforter’).’ This does not mean another God, it means another
understanding. It shall give unto you
another ‘comforter’ or understanding that He may abide with you forever that
which the world cannot receive. It (the
world order) cannot see HIM. It cannot
know HIM. Yet you know HIM for HE
dwelleth with you and shall be in you.Â
So what is Christ saying?---’I am going to send unto you the essence of
My consciousness. I am going to send
you My knowledge, My wisdom, My Spirit.Â
But the world order cannot receive it.’ One of the great problems
in the world today is that the church is going over to Africa and to
China. And it is telling them that
everything which you can receive as the son and daughter of God as the children
of His Covenant, as the race which God placed here----they tell them that they
can have everything that we have. That
they can share with every spiritual experience. They can understand everything and be blessed with every
spiritual blessing that we can be blessed with. And this is a lie. For in
the first place, they do not have the spirit to receive it. So they can no more tune in on it than you
can tune in on your channel if you did not have a lock in on your television
set. They could no more understand it
than if you were broadcasting on another band, and you could not reach it on
the band which your set was on . There exists inside of you
a wavelength of perception which belongs to the Holy Seed and that is why all
God’s purposes for the earth must come thru them. It is this therefore, which depends on God’s Holy Seed to
accomplish His purposes. And it cannot
be stirred up out of Africa or Asia. Now, listen. He says that when this spirit of truth
comes, it shall teach you all things.Â
And it shall bring all things to your remembrance. Anything which I have said unto you out of
the antiquities of yesterday, He who has been with you from the beginning, He
shall speak to you of these things.Â
Therefore, it is essential that we understand that this is a part of the
Holy Spirit, the essence of God’s own mind.Â
They translate this as Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost. And you ask why do they use those
words? Because it is an invisible area
of God’s being. Because the natural eye
cannot see the spiritual nature. You
cannot see the wavelength of its form or its being. So anything that existed you could not see was called a
‘ghost.’ So therefore, your concept of
ghosts are generally something that you don’t see. And if you do see one, you are startled. The fact remains that we should never have
called the Essence of God’s mind the Holy Ghost. Nor should ever be, the teaching that this is the ‘third’ person
of the ‘God’ head----that God was ‘three’ different beings which walked along together. Talk about the multiple of paganism. This came out of ancient Babylon. We have Babylon above us and Babylon below
us. And we are trying to be the middle
of the sandwich today. All of them come
in three parts. And you are supposed to
have sense enough in the center, to realize that these three parts are
ONE. ‘Hear ‘O Israel, the LORD thy God
is ONE LORD.’ Let me cite you this.  ‘The things which I told you before they
came to pass so that when it came to pass ye might believe.’ This was all born witness by the spirit. The essence of God’s own mental,
intellectual, spiritual consciousness comes to you in the Greek word
‘Paraclete.’ Anything else, it might
have been translated into, I am not responsible for nor are you. Now, after Christ had
consummated His ministry, He descended down into the inner earth. And as He came up out of it, He brought
every one of the captive spirits of His children. He brought forth their soul and spirit consciousness and
delivered them into the plains of spirit.Â
And there was no more bondage anywhere in the world for any of the sons
of God, for their consciousness or their Celestial beings. The only area where there was a possible
victory for the powers of darkness was the body which might still be in the grave. But that was all consummated also, for the
day is coming when those bodies transformed, re-energized, are going to stand
forth and be given Immortality forever.Â
That is the hope of the Christian Church that is the keystone of the
Christian Faith. This is that all death
is going to be swallowed up in victory. Significantly then let us
turn to the events that happened on that tremendous day when Christ said, ‘I am
about to. My ship is coming in right
now from the Celestial and solar regions.Â
It is going to come in here and you will see something which you do not
expect. So you come with
Me.’---speaking to His disciples. And
they went outside of Jerusalem and went up on a hill. Pretty soon, a great cloud came along. They could not see inside of the cloud. But Christ stepped into the cloud and they were told to go back
to Jerusalem and wait until they be endued with what?---another person?---Till
then be endued with power so that they could do the things as sons of God they
were supposed to do. In otherwords,
they were told---you go back there and wait until the power comes, until the
initial outpouring of energy is released.Â
Then He stepped inside the cloud, and I am sure, there was something in
the cloud that they could not see.Â
Because two other men came out of the cloud and stayed there for a
little while. So you see these two had
arrived in the cloud and they stepped out of the cloud just as Christ stepped
into the cloud. Someone said, ‘What do
you think it was?’ I think it is one of
those super-dreadnaughts, one of those ships that go by the thousands thru
space. I think He stepped into one of
those areas of conveyance that move.Â
And to the Celestial children, they said, ‘Why are you standing here
gazing at the cloud, this same Christ is going to return just like you saw Him go.’ I believe that. I believe that He can step in just like He left. The only difference the cloud may not be
there. And if it is, it will be a cloud
of Glory. And instead of just one ship,
there will be a hundred times millions for the greatest sight in all human
history. And it is not as far removed
as you might suppose. I am going to tell you
this. The disciples went back to an
‘upper room’ in Jerusalem, and there they waited for the initial coming of the
Father. And they did not do as some people,
they did not say Glory, Glory, Glory, or something else like that. They did not just repeat some words until
they lost a mental consciousness. They
did not hypnotize themselves or something.Â
They just waited for something and asked the Father and they searched
themselve saying if there is anything in my nature which is preventing me from
doing anything You would want me to do, show it to me, eliminate if from
me. But give me the power. And it came, my friends, like a great
phenomena. It came with a descending
glory like that which enveloped the Christ like He was on the Mount of
Transfiguration. It came as cloven
tongues that sat upon the building like in lightening all blended together, and
still nothing burned. It was like the
burning bush like Moses approached, and with it came another great miracle, for
the noise and the energy, and the impacted people round about, and then they
began to hear something amazing. Here
were men of Israel. All could have
spoken Hebrew, and it would have been no problem that day to have addressed the
crowds in Hebrew. But suddenly the
Apostles started to speak. And some
spoke in languages they had never used before.Â
But there were some who stood around who understood this because the
land of Israel, or that portion from which He came, this was the native
language this Apostle was speaking in.Â
And the people listened in amazement saying, ‘These men did not come
from Rome, these men did not come from the Germanic lands or from Britain. These men are Galileans.’  Yet every man is speaking a dialect that he
never spoke before. This was an amazing
thing. It was a great spiritual
outpouring of spiritual energy and spiritual power. I am not nearly as interested in the phenomena as I am in the
power.  It was power that raised the
dead. It was power that healed the
sick. It was power that dared to
denounce the forces of darkness and face Jewry with its Faith and the testimony
of Christ. Oh, yes, it gave birth to
martyrdom, but that is the former ‘rain.’ You and I stand now at the
point, the greatest in all history. For
we stand in the time of the ‘latter rain.’ Â
It will not produce as many martyrs, but it will produce great exploits
and mighty victories. Because
enveloping us in this ‘latter rain’ descends a veil of immortality until it
will make it impossible to destroy God’s sons.Â
That is the great miracle that is going to sweep the world. There are some who say, ‘Yes, but we have to
go about it a certain way. We have to
go down and tarry in Jerusalem.’ But
you do not have to go down there into Old Jerusalem, you are not even going to
that old site. For you are the New
Jerusalem scattered across a new land.Â
Someone said, ‘Yes, but we have to wait until we receive the same
evidence of spirit that they had.’ That
is not necessarily true either. I would
like to turn for one moment over into the book of Corinthians chapter 12, verse
27:--’Ye are the body of Christ and members in particular.’ Do you know what Christ means? It means the embodiment of Divine sons. Every one of you who are a Divine Seed, are
embodied sons of the Christ of God in the world today. And God Himself embodied became Christ. Thus Christ is not His name, this is what He
became. Christ is the embodiment of
God. Now, when we say “Our LORD
and His Christ’, we are talking about our Eternal YAHWEH-YAHSHUA. And you---for you are the Christ of God in
the world today. It is the CHRIST IN
YOU that is the hope of Glory and it is the CHRIST IN YOU that is going to set
the world free under this leadership.Â
You say that is strong meat.Â
Well, you have to throw the cereal away sometime and start eating strong
meat. So we are told that there is no
division in the body, but you are one body and you are members of that
body. And it does not matter whether
you are the head or the hands or the fingers, still you are all a part of one
body. I have known a lot of people who
I knew what they were, but ‘Ye are the Body of Christ and members in
particular.’ And God has set in the
Church the purpose He hath purposed.Â
Some are prophets and teachers.Â
And he has set the operation of miracles and healing and
government. Don’t forget that. That is what we need a great wave of
today---people who will take on a great responsibility of God’s government and
the program of His Kingdom and make us to some of the exploits of our
forefathers and drive out the flag of the aliens. This is what it tells us that will please our Father, in the book
of Hebrews. Now, are all
prophets? No. Are all teachers?Â
No. Are all workers for
miracles? No. Have all the gifts of healing?Â
No. Do all speak with tongues? No.Â
Ye who interpret? No. But covet earnestly the gifts and I shall
show you a more excellent way. Do you
want to know what this more excellent way is?Â
It is recognition that we are living in the hour of the envelopment of
God’s spirit. That we are living in the
hour with all the authority to command and see the results. It only requires the breaking of a brain
block that we have put in the way of the covenants and things which God has
already made and stated, and promised.Â
I want you to know that the great spiritual outpouring in your day
transpires every other. Every child of
the Holy Spirit is entitled to this Holy Spirit for this is the vibration of Glory
and of Light. You do not have to speak
in tongues, but you might. Paul said,
‘I speak in tongues more than you all.’Â
And this is not in support of a Pentecostal position. This is in support of the fact that of the
gifts of the spirit, you might have any one of them. But you might not find any use for that one and find something
far more important. And I am going to
tell you that one of the most important tasks of this hour is to start to bind
the darkness and loose the light of the fullness of God dwelling in you. I am going to cite to you this. You do not have to go to some room and then
start following a formula. Thirty-five or forty years
ago, there was a great wave of Evangelism that spread across California and out
of California to the nations, in which men waited and tarried and repeated a
lot of words which they had been told that they had to use to get spiritual
power. Now, do not underestimate this,
for spiritual power came because God honored their ignorance. He honored their inner desire for
truth. He did give them power and it
did heal the sick. But I want you to
know that was only the forerunner of something that was coming. Lots of times a lot of people do not stop to
realize how silly they made themselves with their knowledge of God when they
gathered round like bunch of Buddhist saying, ‘Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, how is
your father, how is your mother, Buddha, Buddha.’ That is the way the heathen pray. Remember the scripture which says, ‘don’t you use the vain
repetition of the heathen.’ Now, I don’t care where it
is, whether it is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which is a gift of
healing, whether in tongues, or the gift of prophecy, you do not have to follow
the heathen in anything. Your Father is
more than willing to give you His gifts and to pour out His blessings upon you,
and all you have to do is receive it.Â
They laid hands on them and they received the power of the Holy
Spirit. But do not expect that you have
to have some initial sign that you have it.Â
Because you will know when you have it.Â
The Spirit is in you and when it is given life and power and is being
regenerated, it is to do great work.Â
Every individual who can recognize the Jesus is the Christ has had some
partial regeneration already. Now, I am not talking
about His spiritual truth. No one is
spiritually born when He accepts Christ.Â
That is one of the fallacies of theology. He was spiritually born when begotten of his Father before the
world was framed. And he was second
born when he was born a son of Adam in the earth. But he was regenerated, reactivated when the Spirit of God broke
thru to his inner being and unveiled the majesty and the Glory of Christ. I want you to know that it is the majesty of
Christ in you that is going to be a sweeping power, a sweeping Glory which is
going to transform the world. There is
no question but that this is a great hour.Â
There has never been a period as important as this one because the
‘latter rain’ is about to begin.Â
Someone said, ‘Well, what is this ‘latter rain?’ It is something spoken of over here in the
book of Joel. It says that there will
be no limit. It is coming without
measure. Your young men and your young
women, your old men and your old women, all are going to participate in
it. All and all Israel is going to be
enveloped in it because God says, ‘I will pour it out.’ Someone said, ‘But I will have to pray it
down.’ No, you do not have to pray
anything down. You only have to accept
what God is pouring down. I have known
a lot of people who have been trying to pull down something God has been trying
to give them all of the time. He said,
‘Therefore know that there is not only going to be the ‘former rain,’ but also
the ‘latter rain.’ It will be without
measure, a program of restoration, and ye shall know that I am in the midst of
Israel and that I am God.’ So you see
that the people that get the ‘latter rain’ have to be Israel. Can’t be Hottentots, for they don’t get
it. Do you know that they were speaking
in tongues and having regular ‘holy roller’ meetings in Africa before
Christianity came there? But they were
all doing this around witch doctors and devil gods. This is why some of these fellows don’t know the difference when
they get down there. One Evangelist was
telling me about the terrific meetings he was having in Africa and they were
terrible ones too. He said, ‘My, we
gave away beads and we gave away trinkets and we gave away babbles and we had
such a great meeting and there was a great spiritual outpouring, and then
someone who was there said, ‘No, these people are cursing in Congolese.’ Let me tell you
something. You may impart a portion of
a vibration into lessor races, but the spirit of Divine Glory and energy may
not pass upon them. It is only for you
to do the work of sons of God in the earth.Â
When I say this generation shall not pass away in this generation, it is
in your life span, during your period in the earth. And before you have gone very far the great vibratory wave out of
the cosmos surrounds you, of the very nature of God, and it is going to start
vibrating your consciousness to the highest spiritual intellectualism that it
has ever known. It is going to charge
you with such spiritual power that before you are thru it will heal the sick
and raise the dead. You are on the edge
of the greatest day in all human experience.Â
And when we talk about this then this is the thing that is
significant. And religion stands by. Now, don’t say ‘but
Christianity is a religion.’ It is a
religion. In fact, it is the only good
religion among all religions. It is Light, but a religion is also a practice of
the relationship of a man in his thinking, in his life, and in his philosophy
and in the acts of his God. I want you
to know that people come to Church.Â
They sing some songs, they hear a sermon, and they put some money in the
offering. And then they go on home and
say, ‘we fulfilled our religious responsibility.’ WAKE UP. You have been
put down here as sons and daughters of God to not only occupy the earth, but to
administer it, to rule it, to heal it, to guide it, and to lead it and to do
great exploits. Don’t leave off
assembling yourselves together. That is
where you plan your enterprise. That is
where you get instructions of the Oracles of God’s Kingdom to do things, and
not to get mental ecstasies. Not, my
friends, to have a self-conscious experience thinking you have fulfilled a
righteous obligation. You have tipped
your hat to God on Sunday, or Friday or any other day. You do not come to church to fulfill that. You come to be guided, to get the great
catalyst of spiritual energy with other hundreds of children of God whose
spirits are rising with yours to a Divine Destiny. There is more power in the catalysts of the churches of today
than all of Khrushchev and all the hoards of Africa. This congregation could
strike Khrushchev dead any day in the world if it applied itself to it. I want you to know that we
are on the edge of the greatest of all revelations. Someone said, ‘Why don’t we turn around and hunt for passages to
find it.’ I can show you passage after
passage. But this thing can become so
real to you that you do not have to have a passage.  For you know the truth already.Â
He said, ‘I have written it in your heart, I have laid it on your
heart.’ And it is not something which
is made of stone, printers ink or paper.Â
Not that w don’t say find it in the scriptures. Search the scriptures and see of these
things be true. But I can tell you that
without the scripture, we can give you the Oracle of God, but the scripture
will confirm it. Because this is a
living think. And if you cannot carry
out the activity that you are going to carry out in the future. God is going to so charge you with it that
you will read it in your newspapers and you will hear it on the air. You will watch it on the television
screen. Everything is history, Divine
planning, and round you will come the increasing consciousness that I am God’s
instrument. I am God’s child. And it will make Pentecost look like a
picnic dress rehearsal to the great program of God. You say, ‘Is that just moderately?’ There is not going to be any moderation in this. There are lots of people today who are still
going to try to go back to get the feel of the first things that happened. And that is alright if that is all they know
about it. I want you to seek unlimited
power without putting God on the spot in any way you want to get it, to find
everything He has planned for you, and to make you a powerful son. Believe it and live for it. Until you see light going out of you which
will roll back the world, and give light unto men. Never has there been a
time in our society when you have seen a greater unity of the Faith. In all of your life span before this, each
denomination has been divided and they were pointing out their points of
division. Now, there is denominational
division today in creeds, but across all these lines of demarcation, there is a
great surging realization that we have a common enemy, and we have a common
Father who is even our Father, and that this Father is the Father of one LORD,
one FAITH and one BAPTISM. In fact,
this message before this week is over, will be played in Baptist, Lutheran,
Christian Church congregations and Pentecostal congregations, in clubs, and in
groups sowing there is no line or division in truth. And before we have gone thru another week, it will have been
played a thousand times or more all over the nation---on TRUTH. Now, the thing is that a
short time ago it would not have Methodistic or Baptistic. But do you know what is doing that?--This is
the first wave of Divine Spiritual input.Â
It is cutting thru. It is
reaching out. It is making empty
Babylonianism seem unimportant.  It is
making a great hunger for the truth of God, to make it real. It is beginning to stimulate some of your
own people. They are reaching out. They are searching for it. And others are directing it. I am going to tell you
something. We are not going out in
defeat. This age is going to have the
greatest wave of Glory ushering in the New Order that the world has ever
witnessed. And we are talking about
this. A generation which is not passing
away is going to occupy. A generation
which will not leave the Congo, but we are going down and put the Lights
on. We are not going to say Darkest
Africa, we are going to say Africa under the Light of the Kingdom. We are not going to pull back from Asia, we
are going to go in there and pull down every Communist stronghold with the power
of God. Oh, there may be a neutron bomb
or two, but that is also to start some of the power of His Wisdom. I am going to tell you that you are going to
occupy in every dimension, spirit, soul and body. Your armies will be invincible.Â
Right in the period when people are about to surrender, God is going to
do one of the greatest works in human history.Â
And He will mark the difference between His children and the
strangers. The strangers will not be
illuminated with Divine Glory. They
will not have the power of the sons and daughters of God. You say, ‘But I know a lot
of men and women of our race are not worthy of this.’ What do you know about it?Â
The Father thought them worthy enough to send them into the world, maybe
they have absorbed some of the shock that you have not had. We have a lot of casualties that have
absorbed a lot of the shock of the environment around us. Let’s be realists. But there is power enough in God’s hand to sustain every son and
remove the shock and let them stand with you and be victorious. And we would rather see that then see this
theological error of today which sees victory for some and defeat for
others. The sons of God shall be
victorious and this generation shall not pass away. Oh, you say, ‘One or two of them shall not slit out.’ But none of this generation shall pass until
all these things be fulfilled. You do
not have to go anywhere. If you want to
stay until you see what God is going to do, just say this is what I want. This is the covenant that the Father has
given me and I am going to stay. And
you will see the last hammer and sickle come down. You will see the last catastrophe of evil be broken up in the
earth before God’s Kingdom. There is a
lot of things coming in with the New Order.Â
But I want you to realize that the energy, Divine presence, which passes
to you in this great ‘latter rain’ outpouring, is over.  It is going to charge you with
God-likeness. It is going to give you
God-like power and it is going to be the great solution to the climax of this
Age. Immortality, spiritual vision and
triumphant moving ahead. Errors will be
made, but they will not be successful.Â
So I say, ‘Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in
heaven.’ There are many more things
which we could discuss in this panorama.Â
But we must realize that God is
charging His people with their spiritual heritage as His sons. (End of message)
