Transforming Power                           Â
                           byÂ
Dr. Wesley A. Swift----4-13-64 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â As we turn to the subject this
afternoon --Transforming power--but first we analyze the verse that relates to
it so as to understand what our inheritance is, in this great and mighty
purpose of God. We go thru a lot of
strange situations in our environment and never have we gone thru a more
turbulent period. Never has there been
a period classified as the household of God, the sons of God, as this period
known as 'Jacob's trouble. And because
this is a time of Jacob's troubles and as a race and a nation, we go thru these
things, there are many people who find that the turbulence and the pressure
around are ones that startle them. And some even wonder if there is going to be
a possibility of victory. Every once in
a while I listen to the voice of someone who is wishing for better things for
their nation and would like to see the powers of darkness defeated. And they think they are beholding the
increase of the tempo of these periods of darkness. Some of them are about to surrender in their thinking to the idea
that they must get out of this world, for it is developing everything in its
own order. For instance, I listened to
one person saying that we are just fighting a resistance battle and we are in a
long route of retreat, and God is going to have to get us out of here in a
hurry. So with this anticipation, they
are not working as hard as they might, thinking they are going to win. This attitude that we are fighting a rear
guard action and just expecting that any moment that we are going to be
snatched out of here because it is so soon, defeats us. In fact, my friends, when we listen to the
propaganda, nothing is as strange as this attitude that you heard in a speech
by the President in the last few days. For instance, we are faced with the
dangers and developments that threaten to engulf our society. And we know that the devil is working at
every level trying to accomplish the envelopment of that society, gathering and
carrying out his strategies for massive and world power, carrying out
objectives that would ‘fifth column’ us and disarm our society, until we had no
ability to resist. And then we see the
President and those round about him are pledged to carry out this kind of an
operation. Then in the face of this,
instead of carrying on a battle against Communism and the forces of darkness,
he says, ‘actually we are not a nation of fighters. We are a nation of lovers.’Â
And as the President says that, then we remember some of the strange
things around the State Department.Â
Anyhow it is not a biblical position.Â
Some think this is fine. And we
listened to him quoting scriptures in the last few weeks. This kind of makes me
think of Al Capone turning into a minister, or something like that. I do not buy these scriptures. For I have read the Book.           Now while thinking about these things,
we listen to him now quoting scriptures.Â
And he is saying that it is now our turn to embrace this whole world
society, embracing this whole program with love, that this is our great and
important destiny. But I want you to
know that this is not Biblical. We do
not have any instructions to go out here and love the world. In fact, we have been told not to. We have been told not to do this. And in fact, we have been placed in the
world to conquer the world order. We
have not been told that the world order would reach out to us, to embrace
us. We have been told that the world order
would reject us and try to destroy us.Â
We have not been told that they would stop following the pagan religions
and pagan gods, and cease to worship Baal.Â
But we have been told of a
kingdom triumphant, with power and with vision, that would establish
itself. We were told of a coming
empowering God and now know that HE has arrived, and HE has empowered HIS
people of HIS kingdom to accomplish this which HE has ordained. We have been told that there would be
struggles and that we would arrive at the time called 'Jacob's troubles.’ And if you do not think that you have
arrived, then you would have a hard time explaining what has been happening
around the world. Thus you have arrived
at this time called --"Jacob's trouble." Someone says, “Should we be
cast down by this?â€Â  No--Because you
are to be saved out of this. So this
time of this prophecy has arrived, but so has a great empowering. And we are told how the kingdom of God shall
triumph over the kingdom of darkness.Â
How HE would awaken HIS children out of their sleep and how they might
achieve this program of the kingdom of God.Â
This is Biblical. It is not only
what is best for us, but this is what we are going to participate in. In the purposes of God therefore we must
find the secret. The household of God
is made up of a people, made up of HIS people whom HE sent from heaven to
earth, made up of a people who must not only understand the purposes of God,
but makes up the force in earth to accomplish these purposes. So we have been told just how this must be
accomplished. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â There is one verse in the book of
Romans that contains more dynamite in it than most people understand. Turn over now to the 12th chapter of the
book of Romans. Here in the second verse this is something very reasonable and
the Apostle Paul has first placed a foundation for this verse, saying: “I ask
you brethren by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service.†          Now what the Apostle Paul is asking is
for people to dedicate themselves for the victory of God's kingdom and the
achievement of the race, and be willing for service in the capacity of bringing
this about. Now the thing to understand
is that a fallen society, looking for a retreat, never takes the earth. No
Empire ever came into fulfillment, no kingdom ever achieved its formation while
fighting a battle and in retreat. I have had a lot of people say, “Well now,
all that we can do is to defend ourselves unto the end.â€Â And they talk as tho they are about to
surrender the world to the devil. They have given up any hope that we can
survive this. And they make a great
sound singing "This world is not my home."Â I am in agreement that as far as the purposes of God are
concerned, that this world order is not home for me and not for you. But the
earth is a pretty good place and the Father gave it to us to occupy in HIS
name, and the earth is going to be a part of the seat of God with the throne
seat upon it forever and forever. I
want you to know that this earth is just another part of my Father’s kingdom
which He has commanded you to occupy as HIS sons. HE said, “You ask me and I will give you the ends of the earth,
and I will give you the heathen in it too.Â
And this shall be thy inheritance, and you can have it. But there are areas of it in which you are
going to have to occupy, and there are things which are going to have to be
done.â€Â Therefore, we have been given a
key to this. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The most important thing that you can
know this afternoon then is who you are, and know what you can do, or know how
it can be done. The most important thing for us to understand is to know how
God does the things that HE does, and then how can we do them? And let’s take a look at this second verse.  The first key is 'be not conformed to the
world or don't think like they think or you will never overcome the
world.’ Don't then think first like the
World Order. Therefore be ye not
conformed to the world Order, but be transformed. Someone says, “But how is it to transpire?â€Â Well, the very word transformed is itself a
seed. The word in the Greek is from the meaning of self-esteem. It is formed from a cross, or from another
place. It means to have your
consciousness, your thinking, and your intellect transformed or reroute and
empowered by the dimension of spirit, while you reside in a physical
world. The words transformed and
transfigured are interrelated in the Greek text. More than this, remember that when Christ stood on the Mount of
Transfiguration with HIS disciples and they were beholding HIM and suddenly a
great light or glory surrounded HIM, and it is called transfiguring . . . and
it was formed from the light of a cross . . . it was the development of spirit,
from the dimensions of light and power. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Now when HE says that we are not to
think like the world thinks, but to be transformed---with the renewing of our
minds. Enoch informs the world but you
are to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. This means that you are to
have the purposes of God, the knowledge and the wisdom and the understanding
for the occupying and living in the earth, formed out of the dimension of
spirit, in the seat of your consciousness so that divine law, divine power, and
divine wisdom becomes yours in a physical world. And by this very process you think the thoughts of God. And as the children of God with these
capacities, you start performing the works of God as the children of God, and
you start to occupy your inheritance in the name of your Father. This my friends, is not just a play on
words. This is not just a sort of
gymnastics that has been suggested here.Â
We recognize today that the world order has a strategy today, it has a
plan, it has a concept. And it knows that in order to hold your people it must
hold out some great babble as an objective.Â
Thus it tries to tell us that they have the solution to all of the
social and economic problems of the world.Â
There is no awakening period because of the technology of your society,
that there are things to have, to attain, things that are brought to fruition,
that produce a higher way of life than the majority of the world
possesses. But the world order does not
want to become adjusted to the spirit of God.Â
The World Order is under the direction of Lucifer who considers himself,
the Prince and the king of this world.Â
More than that, they are well aware that you have arrived, but they do
not want you to realize this. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Ever since the Adamic race has been
here, Lucifer has been at the work of seducing, seeking to absorb and to
integrate your society. More than that,
he is aware that altho you have been one man's family, you have grown to be 1/6
of the world's population. It is sort
of a frustrating thing for the forces of darkness to try to block the
development and the growth and the coming to earth of the family of God. But during this period of years from one
man’s family when he had his greatest opportunity and even when he had brought
about the introduction of your race, and the integration of your society, he
had failed to obtain his objective because not only was it not to be, but God
had planted in HIS sons and daughters, divine ideas. God started right out with Adam and Eve. HE called them on the violation of divine
law. HE called them and said HE would
put them back on track after they had brought upon themselves this
transgression, but HE was going to preserve this society. And HE told them that they would produce a
household again which would be perfect according to HIS plan. Thus it was that HE gave them prophecies
concerning this once again. The
writings in the old Zohar tell us of this, and the early writings tell us that
as Seth was born that Adam said, “I have now begotten a man in my own image and
after my own likeness.â€Â And of course
all of the genealogies of the scriptures trace themselves right down to Seth
and then to Adam who was the son of God.Â
Thus it is in this instance an important thing to recognize that God was
awakening men to the purpose of HIS plan, the preservation of their race and
their culture, and the position of this culture to praise HIM. And the culture of heaven transplanted into
earth requires the consciousness of heaven and the constant vision of a people. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Now we know that the Luciferian plan to
absorb the race failed but we lost light and glory until we do not possess
immortality any longer. But we know
that thru out this course of time, God has been fulfilling HIS word by HIS
appearance, by HIS speaking unto patriarchs and prophets, and inspiring them
unto life. And thru this period of
time, we have had great leaders like Moses and we have had God meeting with men
and telling them what was on HIS mind.Â
And accompanying this thru out the vast courses of time, HE has had
unlimited power to bring these things to truition. There is no question in the mind of any deep searching student,
anyplace in God's Universe. The
absoluteness of the sovereignty of the mind of God is quite obvious. The
spectrograph analyzes the expectancy of the Father’s LIGHT and Glory. And out of it, we find the exact same
patterns of light and expectancy that the orders of divine law have produced in
earth. Every atom has been ordered by
the knowledge of the most HIGH. The
synthesis of these units of electricity, by the tremendous elements of God's
own spirit that has cast the substances together, that has produced galaxies or
former generations, or has brought together these patterns of substance which
is beyond our ability to imagine. And
when they are massed and formed thru out the whole universe, there are laws
that move out of the Master’s intelligence and HIS mind that sets up this
universe for this age. The pattern is
there. And thus, it is that we see from the furthermost sidereal system to
this, the great synthesis of the elements of the atom. We think of the tremendous power that is
involved here. We think of a substance
like uranium 235 or 238, and here we have an energy which is spreading; and it
holds together the protons. And yet if
it were not for this synthesizing energy, the protons have about 60 lbs.
between them. So when you have two
protons, the energy between them, if they were to suddenly turn loose, would be
abut 60 lbs. of protons. This means
that the concentration of this in a mass when you start to add up the pounds of
explosive force, are held together by what we call the mentoid, and this is a
will of substance, and just because it is a will of law, holds it
together. And they call this mentoid
‘elements.’ This then is a bookkeeping
quality inside of the nucleus of the atom. When you think of how many thousands
of these you can synchronize on the head of a pin, then you can think of how
many explosives you have in a speck like this if you withdrew the law which
holds it together. In fact, we have
learned in our time that if you can tie into this or upset the balance of it,
then we know why explosives go like they do when you upset the balance of how
they are formed. And the whole Universe
is synthesized with elements like that, and they are moving in their orbit and
their electrons are about them. And
they are so small that you and I cannot think on them, for they are microns in
diameter. And when we think of the molecular
masses and the vastness of the universe, and the size of what God has ordained,
then the very existence of God has established the law and set up the purposes,
and catalyzed the energy out of the sheer will of HIS purpose. And we realize that the Master Creator has
established a universe that is staggering even for us to think about, in scope
and in measure. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â But there is something that I want you
to think about. That what so ever God
hath willed, God does. When we realize this then we understand that out of the
sheer knowledge of consummation, out of the sheer knowledge of how it is
synthesized, out of the sheer patterns of HIS law HE has put together a
universe that you and I find ourselves staggered at. Specialists study a little tiny area of this and then bring to us
what they have discovered. But I want
you to know that the mind of the Father knows all about this. There is not one single element in HIS
universe that God doesn't know all about.Â
And there is nothing that HE has not synthesized out of HIS knowledge,
wisdom and HIS intellect. And in consideration of this instance, then I want
you to think upon what God has said in Colossians: ---all things were made by
HIM, and by HIM was not anything made.Â
Even when embodied and walking the earth as the man Christ Jesus, this is
who we are talking about. And the Apostle
Paul still knew what he was talking about.Â
For when Jesus said, He who hath seen me, hath seen the Father, for the
Father and I are one. Have I been with you so long, Philip, and you still do
not know the Father?â€Â The Apostle Paul
tells us that not only was everything made by HIM that was made, and before HIM
was not anything made, and by HIM all things consist, this is the Eternal work
of the Father, thru out this great oval work of creation. By this process then I want you to think
about what it says:--- “Be not conformed to the world, or the way the world
thinks, for the world is always trying to upset the standards of what God has
created. When God created the earth, it
was good. When God created the people
for the earth, they were good. And when
they multiplied upon the earth, they were good. When the civilization of the second creation moved upon the
earth, they were good. The Tungus man,
when he came from the Steppes and started his creation . . . it was still
good. There were great cities that had
been built in the past, and mighty things had been done. And their resistance here before the
rebellion of Lucifer, was good. Lucifer
and his rebellion and violations of divine law created ancient
catastrophes. The world has been rocked
with nuclear wars in the past. If you
think that Nuclear war is something new, the isotopes of it can be found out in
Easter Island or out in the Pacific, or along the western shores of Africa. We
have the evidence of material that has remained radio active where before we
had never beheld radio activity. We have therefore the evidence and past
history of by gone events, which rocked continents of an ancient world. But remember that whatsoever God did, HE did
it right and HE did it completely right.Â
The forces of rebellion which had to make transgression to begin with,
had to violate all portions of divine law.Â
And when they do this then this is what we call sin. That is what sin is, the violations of
divine law and the producing of problems, whether it be in a physical world or
a social world. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Under this instance then we point out
to you that the World Order still tries to carry out its objective. It wants to conquer the world and rule
everybody in it, and wants to do it in violation of divine law. But God said,
“I want my household and my race to be separated and segregated. I want them to think my thoughts and to rise
and be responsible.â€Â  And the world
order says, “we want to integrate them and make them all one with the world
order. We want brotherhood and
love.â€Â And so in this process when they
talk about love, they talk about depravity and immorality and absorption. When they talk about the great grand world
that they are going to build, they try to dangle before the children of the
kingdom a substitute for God's plan.Â
There is no doubt about this entrance into creation, and there is no
doubt about the fact that after 7400 years when your race has been in the
earth, that there are channels of thought and of vision and that God has moved
thru you, and it has set up above anything that previously existed upon the
earth, for millenniums of time. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Now under this instance I want you to
realize that HIS spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children
of God. I think of the psalmist who
says that "Ye are Elohim and all of you are the children of
YAHWEH."Â Therefore God has a
household, and HE has a family and this family are ‘Gods.’ Therefore the only problem that leaves you
in any way powerless in the problems that you face, the social revolution that
you face, brought against you by the enemy, the pressures of world conquest
which is a communist design, the ‘fifth column’ inside of your society, the
anti-God movement, the denying of Christ, or the attempt to blend you in with
all of the philosophies of the world . . . all of this . . . is to capture your
area of thinking. And when people give
ascent to this area of thinking they find themselves going along with the
world. But they go along with lost
power and they go along with this degenerating society which they believe they
are accomplishing. And now they think
that America like a ripe plum is going to fall into their hands. So how
do you check this? You know now, this
very afternoon, that you are the children of God, and HE bears witness with
you, for HIS spirit bears witness with your spirit that you are the children of
God. So how do you start to check
this? Well, the first thing that you
have to do is possess power, and power comes with knowledge. There is no other power than that which
comes from knowledge. Oh, you say,
“what about spiritual power?â€Â Well,
spiritual power and spiritual knowledge become synonymous. Because spiritual power is of divine
knowledge. It is thinking the thoughts
of God, and it is thinking them with the greatest catalysis of power the world
has ever known. Did it ever occur to
you that with the divine image of purpose forming in you is the image of God,
and it is coming forth? Did it ever
occur to you that since you are spirit of HIS spirit, and you are soul life of
HIS soul life, and flesh of HIS flesh and bone of HIS bone, then the household
of God possesses HIS power? One of the
things HE came for was to empower HIS many sons. I tell you this afternoon
then that across from the dimension of spirit, God wants to transform you with
Light and Power by renewing your mind.Â
Someone said, “what do you mean by transform?â€Â We mean that across from this spiritual consciousness and
synchronization of the Father, from a weak people, from a people that have
fear, to a people who have vision, from a people who will stand up not from
origin but from perception, and move out to accomplish God's purpose. In fact then under this instance it is a
form of power that develops in the people of God, because their mind has been
renewed to the things that they knew before the world was framed. These are the things that HE told you from
the beginning. These are things which
you need to know. We have mentioned over and over again, that the great purpose
of the Church, and the great purpose of God's plan is to regenerate or to
reactivate the spirits of men. It is to
establish within them a vitality of life and to give them back all of the
things which they have lost and to give them back all of the things which they
possess. And the great renewing of the
mind is the great single powerful force that transforms people. Every once in a while you hear that
religion, or Christianity can transform men.Â
But the only way to transform them is when it synchronizes their
thinking with the thoughts of God. We
may well recognize today that as the church starts to synchronize men's
thinking into moral conduct or ethical procedures, and tries to get them to
thinking thus, instead of how the world order does, and to know that this power
which moves in them is the thinking and synchronization of God and that it does
work. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Now let me point this out to you, that
our occupation in the earth is to accomplish the victory over the forces of
darkness, for we must think the thoughts of God and we must accomplish this as
we catalyze this power in HIS many sons.Â
Jesus said greater things are you going to do. What did HE mean by that?Â
He walked the earth, with command of earth and with total expectancy of
knowledge commanded the very elements about HIM, such as the wind and the
waves, they obeyed HIM. The storms were stilled. HE could command until the re-synthesis in bodies took on light
and HE could even stop a funeral procession with a command. And HE did not have any doubt as HE stopped
the funeral possession and told the young man to arise. HE was going to restore him . . . this was
God embodied in power and in light, and this was force. Suppose I tell you that
God wants you to think just like that.Â
HE not only wants you to be the recipients of command and expect to move
it . . . I am going to tell you that unless we can catch the concept of victory
over the powers of darkness, and unless we can move HIS sons and daughters with
command, we deceive ourselves, depress ourselves. And we move into areas in which the enemy accomplishes victory in
our society. Powerful Sons must think with vision and must recognize without
doubt what they can accomplish. In fact
when I look back over what God has accomplished, then anytime I find myself
depressed, I am ashamed of myself. When
I realize that one man's family has produced the greatest culture the world has
ever known, so much so that they are trying to invade and destroy it from
within, and realize the miracles that my Father can perform as HE holds the
Universe together, and HE has already told me that HE is going to quicken our
consciousness and give us a vision, and all we have to do is to go out and use
it and do it. “Be ye not conformed by
how the world thinks, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.†          Now this is not a formula that you go
out and give to all of the world. This
was not a formula for Lucifer or his household. This is a formula for the
children of God who thinking like the world became negated and do not move out
to accomplish their work for the kingdom. I want you to know that it is from
this apathy that the challenge of God's spirit moves to synchronize your
thinking with HIM and get this operation back on the road to accomplishment.
God says that this is the time of Jacob's trouble . . . this thing which has
happened, this apathy is what we call the 'falling away,’ first on the road of
progress, suddenly everything slows down and starts to slow down and the world
order tells us that we must accept all theology and to embrace them as tho this
were a great love match with the devil.Â
And when this happens, you suddenly lose your vision, your objective,
and you lose your power. Someone said,
“How does such a great nation like America ever slip into such socialistic
programs, and advanced areas of taxation, and into areas where the enemies of
our race and our faith advise our President and our Presidents don't act like
they have good sense?â€Â I can't help but
think back to some of the silly things he said the other day. Especially when he complained about the
conservatives and the people, who are waking up. He said, these people have animosity toward their adversaries. Isn't that terrible? I can't think of anyone
else that I would have any animosity toward than the adversary. But if I embraced the adversary I am dead.
The adversary makes war, the adversary is against us, the adversary wants to
take us over, the adversary is the devil.Â
This is what my Bible tells me that the devil and all of his angels are
the adversaries. And now my President,
altho I did not have anything to do with it, tells me that what is wrong with
this is that we who recognize the adversary are belligerent . . . well,
belligerence is a foundation to make war with the devil. And if we are not
belligerent toward the adversary, we become conquered. So where does the belligerence today come
from against evil? It is because you
are beginning to catch the idea that God wants you to perceive. You are
starting to think in terms as to how God thinks. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â If you and I then recognize that it is
our Father who holds the Universe together, and does it by HIS sheer will and
power, and does it by HIS command, and tells us that: “I give you this
power,â€Â you then can command, you can
combine, and you can move. --What holds you back? Well, the world order has told you that you can't do it for there
are more of us. The world order says
they hold you captive. I imagine that
is the way Moses felt at times, while out there in the desert. His people were in bondage and he had just
slain an Egyptian because of his cruelty and his brutality. And altho he had been raised as the son of
Pharaohs daughter, and he carried the Scarab seal and ring of the house of
power, he was now an outcast. But he had
been meeting with God. And God had not only appeared in strange ways as HE
caught his attention with an effulgent glow, like flames of fire from a
bush. And as he watched the bush was
not consumed, it was just illuminated.Â
And he heard the voice of YAHWEH speaking out of the fire saying, “Moses
look at me, I am YAHWEH of thy forefathers of Isaac and Jacob. Now approach unto ME.â€Â And then he was instructed to take his shoes
off because he would be so close to spiritual power he better be grounded. And Moses approaches a source of radiation
and power and starts to move for it.Â
And he hears the voice of God.Â
But all he can see is the effulgent glory around the bush. But he hears
the things which God commands him to do, and the things that God has told him
to do. But now he has come in contact
with power. How many times this
happened to Moses, you and I can only guess at, but finally when the hosts of
the most High landed on Mt. Sinai, then most of the people could not get near
the mountain. And you were told don't
come close to it, and do not let man or beast put his hand on the mountain . .
. the Enosh or the Adamic household.Â
But Moses could walk right up that mountain. He had been in contact and had been empowered, and was immunized
by his association until he walked right up that mountain and into the presence
of the glory of God. And in this
instance as he had moved by divine command, I imagine if it were not for a deep
assurance which had moved over him, he would have felt very very much alone,
and very much inadequate when he went back into Egypt with a price on his
head. When he entered the palace of
Pharaoh and said, “Let these people go,†he made his demands and he found
himself standing before the power of the world order. Around about were the dark priests of Seti. And here was the enemy, the Luciferian
forces. And he stood there and spoke.
You say, “why did not Pharaoh then throw him in jail?â€Â Because the power he now moved in with and
the power he commanded with the power of YAHWEH moving thru him and they dare
not put their hands on Moses. And Moses
felt this. He knew this and he felt
this. And he moved with this
power. When Moses made the many
prophecies that he made in his many experiences of the capacities and the
judgments and they came to pass, and every time something happened, then Moses
was stronger. He was just a man of your
race. He was just an empowered son. He was just declaring the very will of his
Father and was just the very will of it. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â WHEN MOSES APPROACHED LEADING THREE
MILLION CHILDREN out of the land of Egypt, while the muddled thinking of the
Egyptians was getting readjusted, they were about to gather their war chariots
to follow them and Moses is taking his people toward their area of destiny and
here is the Red Sea before them, blocking their path. The enemy had changed their minds and they have decided that they
are not going to let them go and the thundering war chariots of Egypt could be
heard in the distance . . . Moses walked down to the waters edge, and suddenly
there is this full realization that he is an empowered son and he holds in his
hand a staff, but a symbol of leadership.Â
It did not have the anchor on the top of it like that on the top of
those of the Egyptian priests or masters, but it was a staff of the son of the
Eternal. It did have upon it an
orb. And as he approached the area of
the Red Sea, he never questioned what was to happen. He just stretched it forth and commanded as the Eternal voice of
YAHWEH had commanded him to do, and suddenly, the elements go into action, and
the motion of the water starts to change and it begins to pile up on either
side. It moves as tho a hurricane had
swept it apart. And yet the backed up
water stands as Israel marches thru.Â
Someone said, “you do not believe that old bedtime story, do you?â€Â I not only believe it, I can go to the enemy
and prove it. I can go to the wall of
the drowned Pharaoh's tomb and I can see written upon those walls as the
hieroglyphic of Egypt tells us as to how the Pharaoh, the great light of Egypt,
drowned pursuing the children of Israel into the Red Sea that their God had
divided. He said, “if they can go thru
there, I can too.â€Â  And as he got out
into the middle and almost to the bank on the other side, then Moses turned and
lifted his staff and the waters came together and Pharaoh and his army was
drowned. You have heard the song of
Moses and the Lamb? Over in the book of
Revelation it says they are going to start singing that song again. And in
America they can't start singing that too quick to satisfy me. Pharaoh and his
armies are drowned. You say, “we do not have any Egyptians here.â€Â No, but we have some real counterparts that
make the Egyptians look like nice people. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â In this instance, again the thing is, that
the thinking of God filled the mind of Moses until he became the instrument for
the catalyst of the will of God, and his command was as tho the purpose of God. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Now, I want you to see something this
afternoon. As you command with the will
of God, then you become the instrument for the voice of God to divide the water
and to destroy the darkness.  And you
become transformed from powerless speaking sons to men of God with power, and
men of God with vision. Oh, you say,
“but this is not for us.â€Â Oh, yes, it
is. Because “upon my sons and my
daughters, upon my hand maidens also in these last days WILL I pour out my
spirit.†          When I look around sometimes, I think
that more women are interested in doing the things of God, and I see more women
at work than I do men. However I will
say this . . . that for the kingdom, there are no people like those that know
the great program of the kingdom, because it has a challenging and realistic
approach because it is TRUTH. AND YOU
WILL DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A MESSAGE THAT WE ARE SATISFIED WITH BECAUSE OF ITS
TRUTH, MEN AND WOMEN. Women are
sometimes moved by emotions where men are supposed to be moved by reason. This is the old concept. The concept was that the spirit of God thus
would bring sound theology upon the minds of men which would not be removed by
emotion as suddenly as possibly as the women would be. But I point out to you
that today lots of our religion has become so worldly and so cold that there is
not much emotion and not much sentiment left in it anyhow. And in this day when
God is stirring HIS people, HE is healing up all of the patches of error with
spiritual power that comes thru consciousness and wisdom and power. And HE is
instilling and empowering HIS sons and HIS daughters with the intellectual
vision, wisdom, and power of the essence of HIS own Holy Spirit. And upon HIS sons and HIS daughters and upon
HIS young men and HIS old men, HIS young women and HIS old women, and upon HIS
handmaidens, HE is pouring out HIS spirit. And this is catalyzing a
synchronized of vision that shall renew their minds with what they had known in
the Celestial before they ever walked the earth. And we shall accomplish and see a power here that will be a
miracle in this age. It will bind the
darkness. And if they want to come with
a sword, we will meet them with a sword. And if they want to match wits with
the elements, we will meet them in a nuclear war as well. And we will not cry out against those that
have cunning and usurpation. Every once
in a while we hear the voice of a coward.Â
We hear the voice of those who say it is better to be Red than dead and
that the holocaust will destroy the world.Â
I don't think so. For it has
happened before and the world was not destroyed. People survived it. And I
am going to tell you that I also have assurance from my Father that there is no
weapon formed against this race that will prosper. Someone said, “that is foolish to think that there is no modern
design that they will not think of which will do the trick.† No, it is not foolish to think this, for my
Father controls the winds and the waves and even the direction the fall out
will take. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I listened the other day and they said
the conservatives would challenge
Communism even if it brought a nuclear war.Â
The Prime Minister of England said it is better to back Communism than
to be hungry and have to fight. I would
rather fight hungry ones for they would not be so strong. In fact, I am tired of supplying the staples
to the enemies of my God. Let me assure
you of this. A lot of people said, “Oh,
what we long for is spiritual truth.â€Â
Well, what do you think it is? Some people say, “Oh, if we could just
get spiritual truth, that just fills us with some kind of emotions; something
that stirs us.†Well then maybe they want to vibrate or to holler or something
like that. But I am going to tell you
something. The kind of spiritual truth
that I am interested in is the kind of truth that can so catalyze a man and
make a man like Moses do what Moses did; that could take over a man like Elijah
until he could divide water also. For
he could accomplish the miracles of God.Â
           The Disciples walked with Christ
during HIS miracles and they were waiting for the catalization of their
consciousness after HIS departure. And
when it came upon them, they were endued with power. They were enveloped with a
flickering aura like flames of glory. And they found out something; they could
command and the sick were healed. They could even raise the dead. Even when a fellow fell asleep in church and
fell out of the window, they just commanded him to be healed and he was
restored. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Now we do not have too much trouble
with people falling asleep in church, but there are to many churches in which I
don't understand how they keep people awake at all. But the power was on the disciples. More than that it was power
over substance, power over material things. Lock them up in jail and the
sequence of spiritual things could roll back the covers and throw open the
jail, and they could walk out. I think
of fear that put them in jail, and the people of the early church gathered
together to pray together in someone’s parlor for they did not dare go out in
the open. And someone said, “It’s the
same today, for some of them are still meeting in parlors and they are
discussing things they do not dare discuss anywhere else.â€Â And then the power of the enemy had put
Peter in jail and the knock came on the door, and the girl goes to the door and
she comes running back and says, “Do you know who is at the door? It’s Peter.â€Â “Oh, no, he is locked up; he is not at the door.â€Â Well then what were you praying about? What were you asking God to do? So now Peter is out and at the door and you
do not want to let him in? Someone
said, “There is a failure in prayer.â€Â
And I said, “I don't know about it, tell me about it.â€Â Well, they said, “Every time I pray, it is
just like I expect . . . nothing ever happens.†I said, “You got exactly
just what you expected.â€Â For you were
told that this is all prayer would do.Â
According to faith, according to what you believe . . . it will go no
further. After all, this is not
changing God's mind. HE knows what HE
can do all of the time. He is just
adjusting your mind as to how HE can challenge it. But what happened to Peter? Well, Peter waited until the
administering spirit came along and Peter then remembered what he had known
when in the spirit. So he just moved
right out thru the walls. And when on
the outside, he said, “How did we do that?â€Â
So God says, “Never mind, they are waiting for you down there.â€Â So Peter went on up to the house where his
friends were gathered. Someone said, “But this
cannot happen again.â€Â But yes, it can
happen any time. The more you
synchronize your mind with the mind of the Father, the more you will do the
work of the Father. Because you will be
challenged by the Father. And HE has
given you this part of authority. Someone said, “This makes
such a high level of responsibility that people have to perform; that if people
do not perform, they find themselves an outcast.â€Â No, I am showing you what God has told you to do, what HE has
empowered you to do. Showing you that
HE has given you the power to command.Â
And I want you to know that the only way that transforming power can routed
thru you, is to renew your wisdom which resides in the spirit. No, we are not renewing any spirit. Some people have the idea that we have to
fix up sad and broken spirits. If you do, you are licked. For nothing every happens to the
spirit. It is only in the soul
consciousness and upon its impact in the physical body. Synchronize that soul consciousness with
this core of revolution that moves out of the power of the spirit and out of
the power of the Father, and that soul consciousness thinks and lives with
vitality and power, and strength and energy until it synthesizes the human body
as well. Sure . . . we have come thru several thousand years of
the development of some of these events.Â
And we have also been here some 7400 plus years since death came upon
our race. And we have just about finished our time here, so you have to
remember that time has rolled on and we have reached the point where God is
going to re-empower HIS sons. But all
thru this period God was calling out sons, revitalizing their consciousness
with the concept of HIS will, and making them new instruments to unveil it as
they perceived it. So we had some
miracles and we had the power. I point out to you that a miracle is not the
operation of unnatural law. It is the
higher operation of natural law because the power that operates and controls
the universe is giving the issue and the command. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Thus, in this, again there is nothing
like a transformed background. The very
moment that you live and think the purposes of God, you then see before you the
objective. And when you pick up the
newspaper you think not as the world thinks; you think with the perception as
tho God put an antenna within you. This
is sort of like a built-in radar system and you start thinking thoughts like
the thoughts of God and you sense the error.Â
You sense the error, you sense the strategy, and you sense the whole
program of the pattern of anti-Christ as it shows up. And you naturally speak out against it. You resist it and you speak out against it as you talk to your
friends, or you identify it. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Now what you are next going to find
yourself doing is to bind it and to move against it. And you will discover that as your people increase in their
numbers and they think and they synchronize their thoughts with the thoughts of
God, that the transforming power of the MOST HIGH will move in upon HIS many
sons and it will start to make things come together like a sidereal system
coming together. And the kingdom of God
is going to rise with power and fear is going to fall upon your enemies. And in the strange complexity of their fears
and their frustrations, they will destroy themselves in many instances, as they
try to destroy the rock of the kingdom.Â
This will be like the Midianites in confusion falling upon themselves.
God had Gideon break the pitchers and lift up the light and start to shout and
the Midianites thought that a whole regiment of Israelites had fallen on
them. And in their attempt to get out
of there, they fought one another. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Again I want you to know that you are
not a defeated people, and you are going to be a mighty host. I turn back to the book of Proverbs the 23rd
chapter, and I read these words (vs:7): “As he thinketh in his heart, so is
it. As an individual thinketh in his heart,
so is he.â€Â Oh, you say, “In his
head.â€Â But, no. I am talking about his heart; thinking in
his heart. If he sees himself broken,
if he sees himself filled with fear, then this is the level that he is going to
live at. And this is the level that is
going to defeat him. If he sees the
purposes of God that are going to bring all things to his remembrance, bring
him to the knowledge of all truth. If
he seeks the will of God, the knowledge of God, then he no longer thinks of
defeat and he moves with the strength that belongs to a son of God. And this will apply to every area of proper
movement. And it will move in the area
of one's household and move into the areas of accomplishing victory over the
enemy. Don't defeat it with your
concept, don't defeat it with acceptance of darkness. There is no question, but that there are times when people move
into the valley. I do not know anyone
who does not have times of trouble and everything just seems to fall in at the
same time. The devil seems to have his
way at times, for he has forces and powers all of the depressions and upheavals
. . . call it what you will. But it
moves in on you. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â And about that time then everything
seems to go wrong. And everything then seems to look impossible. And that is the only time you seem to need
help the most. So what do you do? Well
there are some things that you have to do.Â
And you immediately start to realize that this is your Father’s world
and HE holds all things together. And
you must remember that you as a son of God, have the power to come out. And instead of being shaken and depressed by
this thing, then you start to rise above this thing, and know that tomorrow
will always come. And several days
after this, you may wonder how you did it.Â
But it is because God Carried you thru.Â
So if God carried you thru in the past, HE is going to carry you thru in
the future. So instead of worrying
thru, go thru triumphantly to meet God on the other side. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I turn to the words of Isaiah in the
40th chapter:---To whom then will ye liken me to whom shall I be equal saith
the Holy ONE. Lift up your eyes on high
and see, behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their hosts by
the numbers, HE calleth them all by names, by the greatness of HIS Power, by their
generations, and HE calls them for HE is strong in power; not one of HIS
commands or HIS purposes ever fails.Â
Why saith ye oh, Jacob, and speaketh thee oh, Israel, that my way is
from YAHWEH, and my judgment is passed over from my God. I know what you think,
I know your problems, I know your environment, and I have purposed your
victory; so wake up and seize it. Hath
thou not knows, hath thou not heard that the everlasting YAHWEH, the Eternal
EL, the creator of the ends of the earth saith not; neither is HE weary. There
is no searching out in the natural of HIS understanding but HE know your
needs. He gives power then to the
faint, and to them who do not have might, HE gives strength; even youth would
faint and be weary, young men would fall as God poured out HIS power to give
them strength.           Now listen. They who wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they
shall mount up with wings as Eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they
shall walk and not faint. There has
never been a period where it is more important for us to understand that there
is a purpose out here, of conquering the enemy. I will not take the time this afternoon to go into the problems,
for you know the problems that face you today.Â
You know what the problem is down there with that school board, or with
that whole procedure which they are trying to use to propagandize. And remember that as we refuse to conform to
the way the world thinks that our mind is renewed with the program of the
kingdom. So let this be the way for our
children. Let this be the way for our
nation. And let this be the way that we
shall establish as we command and move with vision and expect it. The other day a man met
with President Johnson and laid down a great area of evil which had been directed
to a group of Protestant men. And the executive move to remove them had come
from a high office under President Kennedy.Â
And then the President got mealy mouthed about this and he made great
promises. But this man said,
“listen---you are speaking with a double tongue as did the man before you, so I
will tell this to your face. We will
walk out of here, but you will not be here long.â€Â I think that it is time
for every Christian to determine that they are not going to be there very
long. And if there are any whammies
then don't let it come on you, let it come on the enemies of God's kingdom. You
know people that generally fill the penitentiary, the people they capture, are
the people that are running. Remember
again that the best area of victory is an attack. So we are going to be belligerent with our enemy. We will be belligerent with the adversary,
and we are going to have total faith in total victory, until we achieve
it. Someone said, “Is there a great
danger that they might kill us?â€Â Well,
they may try. But I have every
expectation of being here when Christ returns.Â
In fact, I am planning on participating in that final victory march. I want to see those sword broken.  I want to see those hammers and sickles
come down. I want to see the enemies of
Christ have to bow the knee and have to acknowledge that Christ is YAHWEH
God. And I will tell you
something. We are going to be there and
we do not think it is very far removed.Â
Oh, you say, “Can we last that long?â€Â
Who told you that it was very long?Â
Instead of planning on it lasting that long, just plan on bringing it to
pass quickly. Then know that we are not
conforming to the image of this world. Â
Our very being is being challenged and transformed by the renewing of
our mind, and by the indestructible will with the power to command. Let us not forget, this is our heritage.   End of
