 IS DIVINE HEALING IN THE
ATONEMENT? 1-13-65                                                                      By: Wesley A. Swift    In our subject we are
taking up the discussing of Divine Healing, is it in the Atonement? When we move into the areas of Bible History,
then this is the history of God's
people, for we are His Offspring. And this is the volume which deals with the relationship of the House of God, and
His people. All of the things which
have been said in Mystery, and all whichÂ
have been said openly, wisdom which has been hidden in allegory which
can only be understood by the guidance
of the Spirit, wisdom which can be knownÂ
only by the House of God is in the Atonement.   In the area of the records
of this Book (the Bible), and in many of theÂ
records not incorporated in it, we have the patterns of Divine History.
We have the areas which God intends to
develop, and to carry forward for purposes in His Household. As we have cited
to you in the past...in the days when
Adam and Eve were placed upon the face of the earth we discover they were covered with...Shekinah Glory. We
discover them as their Father who had
begotten Adam in His image, had covered them with Light and Glory. And then put Adam into a deep sleep and formed
Eve out of Adam, so that they might
both be of one flesh. We know that they were radiant and they were glorious, and in such an hour they were
perfect in their health because they
were covered with the Light of God's Spirit. We realize that the world has seen the rise and fall of civilizations
which had been involved in the defeat
of Lucifer, who was defeated in the heavens and driven into earth. We know also from the writings in the Book
of Enoch, and also from the writings in
the Book of Seth, that some of the remarkable factors recorded were that even before our Race arrived, that
Lucifer had been involved in warfare in
company with some of those who rebelled with him. That in the course of their rebellion, and in their
fighting, remember that there had been
a time when filling up the sum total of wisdom and knowledge, that Lucifer had been highly intelligent, in the
areas of his power. But he had set
aside some of his sons to work in the laboratories of darkness, and we are told in the Book of Seth that they brought
together and brewed up, in the great
kettles, the substances of earth, such as the grasses, and the things of the wild fields. And as they let
them stand and ferment an Animalcule
which was forming in them from the substances which were brought together were bringing upon the earth the
areas of darkness and despair. Because
as the protozoa, and new bacteria formed inside the cultures, and produced new protozoa, and new bacteria,
viruses, and germs. So Lucifer brought
into being, by mixing together, by forming and breeding together, bacteria and protozoa as he seeks to destroy
the structure of God's Kingdom by
wanting to integrate it.   In fact today we have even
in our laboratories in Colorado great medicalÂ
laboratories which are engaged in germ warfare. We are very carefully
selecting strains of bacteria, and protozoa which we have set wild. And by breeding and intermingling, and forming new
bacteria and disease germs we are
producing diseases for which there is no area of protection against them. There is no area which has
experimented to find ways of protectionÂ
from the wild viruses we have made. Of course do not think we are the
only ones engaged in this, for the
Soviet Union is also engaged in germ warfareÂ
at this time. But note that the original germ warfare was started
by Lucifer. That when he started this
germ warfare, they had mixed and brewedÂ
together substances in the cauldrons which they referred to as sickness
and disease which they put upon the
'humors of the night', or upon the mist ofÂ
the night, and they would thus release these viruses and diseases, and
thus scatter them.   This was done before your Race was ever
placed in earth, before the MOSTÂ HIGH
ever established your Household in the earth. Lucifer in his warfare as it reached the Ancient Isles of the Sea,
and the continents, in the struggles
which took place, was making disease germs. This was being done by his sons...his loyal sons, in the
laboratory of perdition.   We of today can well see
who his loyal sons are because at this timeÂ
even, they are known, but at that time they were all Asiatic, and
African and other types of Jews, but
they were working on germ warfare. This typeÂ
of warfare produced diseases and sickness new in the earth. More than
this the patterns of destruction were
always the ways of Lucifer. He is the godÂ
of destruction, the god of darkness. We are told that he sends forth
demon forces to obsess men. We are told
also under the doctrines revealed untoÂ
Enoch that Satan could also send forth devils. And many of them were
invisible, and many were visible. But they sought always to entrap men, to cause injury to their bodies, and for
diseases to beset them.   Thus in the rebellion of
the Archangel who became a devil, we find thatÂ
Lucifer in that rebellion became very, very busy creating havoc for
the human body. He has been behind
every virus and every sickness, and everyÂ
evil disease. He has been in every area of catastrophe and trouble.
And with his gremlins of evil he has
set up the conditions in which men findÂ
themselves caught by accident or by sheer condition, in areas of
pain.              Now:...when we find Adam and Eve being placed on the
earth. They were the Noble Household of
THE MOST HIGH GOD, the first image of His Being, and they walked the earth in Immortality, surrounded by Shekinah
Glory, and by the God of Light. We
understand that these sons of Lucifer then came to Lucifer and said:..we cannot stand the Light of Adam and Eve.
Lucifer said:Â ..I am working on that,
for if I can bring about their fall, if they will join themselves to our race, they will lose their Light and they
will be subject to our destruction, and
we shall hold them prisoner forever.   Well:..the capacity to
remain immortal was dependent upon the sources of 'Immortality' which was the fact that they were spirit of God's
Spirit, and the Light and Shekinah
Glory of that spirit covering their physical bodies and this left them utterly immune to the sickness and disease
provided by Lucifer. Because the
element of the Light of that radiant Aura not only destroyed the disease germs and the sickness which came upon
them, but also the spirit which
illuminated them, guided them into avoiding the areas of catastrophe and judgment, and accident and
trouble. But...Eve was seduced by the
source of the Luciferian attack, and then as she lost her Light, Adam also chose to lose his, and sowed his
seed into the Serpent woman... Kali,
the Mother of the Ganges, the wife of Lucifer, the consort of evil.   Then God stepped back into
the Garden again and called to Adam and Eve,Â
but Adam was hiding. Hiding because he did not want to face YAHWEH
(God)Â because he knew he had violated
Divine Law. Finally God brought him outÂ
from behind the trees where he was Hiding and tore off of him the
tunic covering of Lucifers Kingdom.
This was a peculiar tunic, a golden tunicÂ
like as to the tunic worn by Buddhist Priests of today, it was the
woven golden tunic of the Fig Leaf, not
the typical leaves of the tree, but theÂ
fabric was the woven golden tunic of the Fig Leaf. God, then, tore
this tunic off of Adam and covered him
with skin. He killed the necessary sacrifice and covered both of them with
skin...coated them with skin. But AdamÂ
had now lost his Light. But God had said when He sent him forth in the
beginning that HE would redeem him, that He would save him, that He would carry out the activities He had intended and
promised before the foundation of the
world. He had declared from the beginning that the race when they came under the seduction of Lucifer, would
fall, but that HE would redeem the
race, and set them in order. And so as He had declared that He was the Lamb Slain before the foundation of the
world, He revealed this also unto Adam
and declared it to him as well. He said:...out of the woman shall come one who is my own embodiment who shall crush
the serpent, who shall bruise his head.
I shall not let the Race be destroyed. I shall cleanse the womb. I shall establish for me...a Household, and
it shall be thru you, and thru this
Adamic Household. Thus from Adam down to Seth...7 gestations of the womb...delivered by the Law of the Scripture
as having cleansed again the womb...we
see this declaration. And thus we see
that under this declaration that God
promised the cleansing of Adam and Eve, and He promised the establishment of
this His Household, His Race...the only white race upon the face of the earth. And as we come into this
Book of Genesis to where itÂ
says:...that Adam begat Seth, it doesn't say anything about the other
gestations which were between Cain and Able, and Seth because they were
involved in all types of catastrophes, and none of them were sufficient
for the building of God's Kingdom.   Now:...we have Seth, a
direct descendent of Adam, and now Adam says of Seth;...I have begat him in my own image, and after my own
likeness. But we discover that having
lost the Light, now not enveloped in that 'Light'Â would come constantly sickness and disease. The Scripture
says:..'In the  day that thou eat, thou
shall surely die'. Of course this day is like other days, it was in error, but it was in the days of his lifetime
that Adam would know death. Whereas
Adam and Eve had Immortality, now Adam would know death, and at that he was 900+ years old before he died, but the
fact remains that he was to know death, and the areas of his pain were
well marked.   In the Ancient Book of
Adam and Eve, then Adam comes to the gates ofÂ
Eden and he cries out unto God to heal his headache. Adam had a
terrific headache and he wanted to be
heard, he wanted to be healed, he wanted GodÂ
to do something about it, because Adam knew that god was his Father. And God said:..In 5400 years, I will do
something about that situation, forÂ
that is when I shall consummate the Atonement, on the Cross of
Calvary.... your Atonement. 5400 years
from now I shall come, embodied in the flesh,Â
and then I shall make the Atonement for you. Then Adam I shall heal
thy headache, and also thy sins. Of
course this was in retrospect, it was but aÂ
symbol of the problems that beset Adam.   God who heard the prayers
of His people throughout the areas of time ofÂ
the Old Testament had many times healed the sicknesses of His people.
They were told, especially in the days
when God gave Moses the Law, in the hourÂ
when there came down upon the Mount Sinai, the fullness of God with
10,000Â of His Saints in judgement, and
He bestowed upon His people the Law, and HeÂ
told His people:...if thou will diligently hearken to the voice of the
LORDÂ thy God, and do that which is
right in the sight, of HIM, and give ear toÂ
His commandments and statutes, then none of the diseases which came upon the Egyptians would come upon them. 'For I
am the LORD who healeth thee.'Â If you
keep my Laws, and my commandments then none of the sicknesses which came upon the Egyptians will nigh thee.   This was a mighty
declaration, and it was hinged upon the..if..of keeping the law. But the law was only an area of substitute until
the law of the Spirit came into being.
By this process we discover that the UnctionÂ
of God also provided an immunity to Israel. Remember that when the
children of Israel went out of the land
of Goshen, and down to the Red Sea, that theÂ
Shekinah Glory was over them. 3 million people without one lame, or
blind and without one single
catastrophe went out. He was with them, before them, behind them, and above them, and they went out these children of
Israel in perfect health.              If
you granted that many people together for say a Basket Ball, or some big sports even, you will probably get a few
heart attacks, or something wherein you
would need a doctor. This is true even for the largest of the Football games today. But the pattern is
that three million people went out of
Goshen, and they walked to the Red Sea, and thru the wilderness, and there wasn't a sick or a blind one in the
group. Because God said:..'The LORD thy
god is here, and His presence can heal thee.' so we have the areas of healing found in the Old Testament. In
fact under the direction of theÂ
Scriptures we discover that the 103 Psalm says:...'Bless the LORD O
my soul, and forget not all his
benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities,Â
who shall heal all thy diseases.' So again men could call upon God, and
we discover that the Psalmist and Moses
as well as David cried out unto theÂ
LORD and He healed their Diseases.  Â
In fact at the time when
God took Moses, then Moses had passed his three score years and ten, and was running on 4 score, but the LORD took
him. Remember this now...Moses was taken...he did not die, because he was
with Elijah, and on the Mount of
Transfiguration with Christ. Therefore he wasÂ
not in the Netherworld waiting for Christ, but had been taken into
the heavens as had Elijah. And it said
that when he left at 82 his naturalÂ
force had not abated, he had vitality, virility, and he was strong, and
he was a vital man. God had healed him,
taken care of him, and provided for him
in this matter.           We discover that under the
processes of the Atonement that many whoÂ
discussed the Atonement knew that it was the Restoration of
Everything. First the Atonement was
going to place 'at one' all the House of God. It was going to place 'at one' all the House of Israel. Some may not
be conscious of it, but still it was going to be effective, for it would
place 'at one' all the House of Israel.
And all thru the Old Testament until thatÂ
Atonement came, they worshiped and served, thru the Tabernacle, thru
sacrament, thru offerings, but they were to serve God. they served Him thru
the Priests of the Levites, and thru
the Law, and thru the ordinances, and thruÂ
the areas of the Tabernacle and the Temple. But they waited for the
coming of the MESSIAH. And Israel sang
of the Greatness of Our God, to the MajestyÂ
of His way. The Shekinah Glory of God was manifested as he showed
Himself unto His Prophets, as He
appeared in the service of the Temple...'High and lifted up' the Shekinah Glory became visible unto Israel. But
under the Prophets they were given a
vertical dictation concerning the things thatÂ
were involved. The 53rd., Chapter of Isaiah said:...'Who has believed
our Report? To whom is the arm of the
LORD revealed?' Then we are told:..'HeÂ
was wounded for our transgressions...bruised for our iniquity. The
chastisement of our Peace was upon HIM, and by His stripes we are healed. BY
HISÂ STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. Therefore in
the Atonement was the total coverage ofÂ
sin...sickness and death. Now this was in the Atonement, and it was
anticipated as being in the Atonement, even before Christ came.              Now:..in
the hour of Christ's coming we are told that the Angel spoke to the Virgin Mary, telling her she would be
with child of the Holy Spirit. And this
child would save His people from their sins. He would take the throne of His father David, and He would
rule. He would save His people from
their sins. Gabriel said as to this Messiah:...He would save his people from their sins. And when Christ came
who was God above all..because the
fullness of God (spirit) dwelt bodily in HIM, therefore as He walked along the Sea of Galilee, as He preached the
length and breadth of Palestine. We
have the facts of this case:..He went about all Galilee, He taught in places of their assembling, He
preached 'The Gospel of the Kingdom',
and He healed all manner of their diseases and sicknesses.   Now:...this was not just
an idle statement, and it isn't just placedÂ
here in Scriptures just once. For we discover that in the Book of
Matthew, everywhere we turn inside the
structure of this Book we find this sameÂ
story. For instance in the 9th chapter we read that Jesus went all
about preaching the Gospel of the
Kingdom (Matthew 9:35). This then is the Gospel we are preaching which is coming forth in the Latter Days. The
Gospel of the Kingdom is the story of
the triumph of the Kingdom, of the victory ofÂ
the Kingdom over the powers of darkness.   Thus in preaching this He
healed all manners of their sickness, andÂ
their diseases. We point out to you the records in the Book of Luke,
for here is an excellent testimony in
the areas of Divine Healing. Because LukeÂ
is a Doctor, a beloved Physician, and now not to many doctors may be
called a beloved Physician, but this
man was called a beloved Physician...a goodÂ
Doctor. He applied himself to the knowledge of herbs, and to the areas
of medicine, and he was a good doctor,
and he became a disciple of Christ, andÂ
most interested in the things which occur. And he talks about the fact
that Jesus went about all Galilee, and
He preached..the Gospel of the Kingdom..Â
and He healed all their sicknesses, and diseases, and they brought unto
HIMÂ crowds of people who were sick, or
had something wrong with them. And heÂ
cast out demons and devils as He healed the sick, and of course, raised
the dead. In fact to show the acuteness
of how HE was aware of every last individual, altho the throng crowded around
him, we will give you another example. But first we do have the records of HIM
healing the lepers, and we have the story
of the 10 lepers and how 9 of them never even came back to thank Him, only one came back, and He
said:...were not 10 of them cleansed,Â
where are the nine? But He also opened they eyes of the blind, and
unstopped deaf ears, and without a question this was all within the miracle
power of God. This was no great wonder,
for God, He had made the heavens and theÂ
earth. He had put together the Universe, and put together every
living thing...or form. This was an act
of the Most High which could be alone...Â
done in His Righteousness and His Glory. And so He healed the sick, and
one day as He was walking along, and
crowds were coming up to Him then JesusÂ
said:..'Who touched me?' There was a woman who for 12 years had an issue
of blood, and she had spent all her
livelihood, all her resources, all herÂ
livelihood on Medical expenses, and now she came to Christ. And she came
to Christ and she said:...'O Lord, if I
could only touch you..if I could onlyÂ
touch the hem of your garment, I would know I would be healed. I am the
one who reached out to touch you.' And
Jesus said:...'Daughter, you don't haveÂ
to be sorry, thy Faith hath made thee whole.' Luke records this, records the fact that even the touch of His garment,
as the virtue went out of Him, that He
was familiar with each, and every impact. That He knew each and every element of energy and power that
passed thru Him. But He healed theÂ
sick, He raised the dead for this was His work.   What was
He...YAHSHUA...here for? He brought glad tidings of great joy to the House of Israel. He was here to speak
to His Household, as we speak of what
He was to do. We turn back into the Book of Matthew and we see that He called His disciples and He gave them
power to cast out unclean spirits, and
to heal all manner of sickness, all manners of diseases. He was here to empower the establishment of the first
organizational foundation of the great
new wave to rise in Israel...His Church. He was here also to carry out the salvation of His people. He was here
to redeem them, and in the culmination
of their recognition of Him, and the firmness of it, and it now being implanted in the minds of the
disciples and the people who were toÂ
come after Him, to establish this tremendous vehicle which was His
Church, which would sweep thru the
nations of His Kingdom and was to remain a most powerful, spiritual influence. This accomplished....then He
ascended into the Heavens. For the
Atonement was to transform the people in an amazing way. Remember after His Resurrection that He talked with the
many, He was seen with 500, He talked
with the disciples and they talked about theÂ
things of the Kingdom. In fact we discover in the Book of Acts that as
He talked about the things of the
Kingdom, and He talked of things that theyÂ
must do.   Now:...as to this time we
have had much in the areas of History. We haveÂ
had the development of the House of Israel, and their Prophets, and
the History unto this time. We have had
the formation of His disciples, and weÂ
have had the people who followed and who hung upon every word that He
said. And then after His Resurrection
and the manifestation of His Glory, afterÂ
the disciples had witnessed this, then He said:...Now they can be
trusted to carry out my purpose. Thus
we discover in the first chapter of the BookÂ
of Acts, that this is true. And He therefore talked to them about things
of the Kingdom. And after He had showed
Himself alive, and after His passion,Â
with the many infallible proofs which had been seen of course by all those who had been assembled, and so forth, then
He said remember this:...Ye shall
receive the Holy Spirit, and ye shall be witness unto me, both in Jerusalem, and Judea, and Sumeria, and to
the utter most parts of the earth. But
to do these they must receive the power of the Holy Spirit which was promised unto them.   In the 14th chapter of
John., then Jesus said:..I will not leave youÂ
comfortless, I will send upon you the Paraclete. This is actually the
conscience intelligence of the knowingness of God. And He said:...when the Spirit of Truth is come, He will bring you
to the knowledge of all truth, bring to
you remembrance, and He will be the empowering force. You are the people who can receive it,...the world
cannot receive it, but you can receive it. And then He told them to go to the
city of Jerusalem, and wait there. He
said:...tarry there until you (his disciples) be endowed with this power from on high. Then we are told
that a huge cloud was approaching the
Mount, and in it was the mighty craft which God rode in. He then entered the
cloud, and as He entered, two men stepped out of the cloud and said:Â ...Now, don't just stand there gazing at
this cloud. You go back down toÂ
Jerusalem and do exactly as He told you to do. Wait there until you will
be endowed with power from on high,
because this same Jesus is going to comeÂ
back one of these days just like you saw Him go.   Thus we read that the
disciples returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Transfiguration...which is called Olivet, which from Jerusalem is
called a Sabbath days journey, and when
they came to Jerusalem they went to theÂ
upper room where abode Peter, James, and John and all of these others listed, and there 70 people were gathered in
that upper room. They were praying and
discussing and waiting for the power of God. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come...and remember
this happened on a Feast day, and it
has been linked with the day of Pentecost every since this acknowledgement of
the power of God. But when the day of Pentecost had fully come they were all in one accord, and all in one
place. And suddenly there came a sound
from heaven as tho a rushing of a mighty wind. It filled the whole house in which they were sitting. This was
the official outpouring of God's Holy
Spirit. This was the re‑entry of Christ unto them...for He had told them:..'I will send the Spirit...I will come
unto you.'Â Â Â Â Â Now:..of course there was
phenomena. There was as much phenomena in theÂ
Shekinah Glory as it appeared..for it said:...there was the sound as of
a mighty rushing wind, and it filled
the whole house, and there appeared untoÂ
them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat on them, just like the
fire on the burning bush back in the
days when Moses came to the bush. WheneverÂ
the phenomena of the unction of Divine Spirit approaches any
substance, whether it be human flesh,
or whether brush on a mountain, it glows withÂ
the Shekinah Glory. It radiates with the energy and the power of it, be‑Â cause the power of Spirit is greater, and
more manifest then the substanceÂ
created. So they were reeling under the power of God. The cloven
tongues upon them, showed that they
were filled with the Holy Spirit. And theyÂ
spoke in other tongues (languages) as the Spirit gave them utterance.
There were many men in Jerusalem who
were of this stock of Israel, they came fromÂ
England, Germany, and all spots in the western world where Israel was
now found. And each and every one of
these men spoke in the language of theÂ
land where each man had come from, and all of them spoke Hebrew as well.
If this had been merely a matter of
communications they could have listened toÂ
the message in Hebrew. But suddenly as Peter, James, and John and
these others began to speak, they spoke
in the tongue (languages) these peopleÂ
were used to in the land from whence they came. And the people
said:...what a mystery, are not these
men all Galileans, and yet we hear them speak in our own tongue? It was tremendous trappings of the mighty
outpouring of God's Holy Spirit. The
Atonement was consummated...the children of the Race were not to receive the Holy Spirit of God. There was no limit as
to what the Spirit could accomplish in
the program of God.   Now:...the Apostles had
the gift of healing, for Jesus had said:Â
...I am going to give you the gift of healing, power over all demons,
and power to raise the dead and heal
the sick. He said:...greater things than IÂ
am doing, you are going to do when...or if you believe. But actually
the words were:...WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND.
Because now was the area of the development, now of His Spirit upon them which
would bring them this knowledge. And so
they had waited, and then the day of Pentecost was fully come, and they were all in one place. And the first
initial outpouring of the Holy Spirit
descended upon the New Testament Church which had been established by Christ.   Now:...we discover this
Holy Spirit outpouring made a tremendousÂ
difference. Peter who had been so afraid of being identified with Christ before the Crucifixion had been so brave
when he cut off the ear of the servant
of the High Priest, and then when God didn't deliver the whole situation He
became fearful. But he was not the same Peter after being filled with the Holy Spirit. Now he was a mighty
and powerful orator. And thus we see
Peter and the other disciples rise to preach and everyone was amazed. Peter said:...Ye men of Judea, and all of ye
who dwell in Galilee...and all others
here today. And as he preached of the things concerning Christ and the establishing of the Church, the
Scriptures tell us that...The LORDÂ
added to the Church daily such as should be saved. Here was a very hand picked situation, for out of these thousands
of people the Holy Spirit was calling
everyone of the Household of Israel. The Holy Spirit was calling every one of those who were true Israelites.
There wasn't a Jew among them. Then as
they proceeded later to go down to the Temple and speak, there was a man seated outside the Temple who had been
carried and placed there every day
since a youth. In fact since he had been born he had been paralysed in his legs. And this man said:...'Alms'. How often had he cried for Alms as the rich scribes and Pharisees had passed by
him. Oh, maybe he received a  coin now
and then, but here he cried out to Peter and John. And Peter said:Â ..silver and gold have I none. Yes the man
had heard this before also, but Peter
then said:..'AS I have, I give to thee...In the name of YAHSHUA.... Jesus The Christ, rise up and walk'. And he
took the hand of this man, and raised
him up. The man found the use of his legs and he ran into the Temple leaping and shouting, and the people fell
back in amazement. This is the first
miracle recorded in the Book of Acts. But this Book of Acts records many, many miracles. We are told under this
direction that at the hands of the
Apostles were signs and wonders following them. That they were all in one accord on Solomon's Porch, and the
believers were added to the LORDÂ daily
as the disciples were preaching on the outside of the Temple. To the disciples were brought, the sick, and the
lame, even some brought on couches so
that even the shadow of Peter could fall on them. So great was the power of the Church at that time...the
Church..the Spiritual center of the
Kingdom.   We are told all thru the
Scriptures about this great power which came on the Church. Why shouldn't the power be on the Church? There had
been an area of prophecy which related
to this, for in the writings of the ProphetÂ
Joel, it had been stated that God was going to restore this power the
parasites had taken from us. One of those things taken which He was going
to restore was the outpouring of His
Spirit when He put His life, and vitalityÂ
upon His Kingdom. He told of how, then, His young men and young women,
and his old men and old women were
going to dream dreams and see visions. HeÂ
told of the power which was going to come. And as Joel prophesied of
these factors, we discover that Joel
was very cognoscente of the fast and tremendous work that was going to be done
by God. It says:..'Be not afraid yeÂ
children of Zion, for HE hath given you the former rain moderately, and
HEÂ will cause to come down, for you,
the rain, the former rain and the latterÂ
rain in the first month.'Â Joel
2:23.   As Peter arose to speak he
said:..this is 'that' spoken of by theÂ
Prophet Joel. This was the former rain alright, but it was not the
latter rain. This was the former rain
alright for in His Atonement God had consummated the areas of Judgment. And had
not only redeemed Israel from theirÂ
sins, but would also heal their diseases. We are to discover that
under the impact of what he had declared
that the Church for 150 years hadÂ
miracle working power. This power included the raising of the dead, in
fact one man fell asleep and fell out
the window while they were preaching, andÂ
they went out and raised him from the dead. We are told of this also in
the Book of Acts. Of course the fellow
didn't fall asleep after that when heÂ
was in Church. But they healed the sick., they raised the dead, and
with Great Power...the Church
performed. And the word was spread thru out the length and breadth of the land as to the power of the
Church.   Of course the Jews were
worried about this, and they tried to stop this power, and they fought back, but they couldn't keep back the
story of the 'powers' of the Church.
After the first 150 years of the Church..and remember that there was no great
communications system such as we have today,Â
nor written Bibles either. Remember also that the church in Rome became
one of the first to come into confusion
because the Jews as they could not control the church, then some joined the
church to destroy from the inside.Â
There was still in this hour areas of wisdom still with the church, but
now the Jews were standing inside and
disputing the Scriptures and contendingÂ
the doctrines and were seeking to duplicate the areas of the
Scriptures. And by the time of 250
years after The Christ, the Jews were still in those areas of trying to control and consolidate areas of doctrine. But
the Holy Scriptures as they had them in
Rome were being slowly copied by men whoÂ
wanted to multiply and preserve the areas of Scripture. In fact for
600Â years they were taking such
Scriptures which later they canonized andÂ
copied them, and copied them. Monks sat for hours and laboriously
copied, in their own hand writing these
areas of Scripture. Just think of the handÂ
written Bibles of men of such devotion to the Word of God. Even tho
as little as they may have known of
what they copied, still in their devotionÂ
to it, they copied all their lives, these Scriptures so that we might
have the Scriptures which we do
today.   Still there was no doubt
about the pattern of the Church, for... theÂ
Church was alive. And in the areas of Britain where the Church was
planted on the Hides of land owned by
Joseph of Arimathea, and in the GreatÂ
Abbetrys of Britain, then the Church was beginning to move out of
Britain and into Scandinavia, and into
Central Europe. And even in the days of St.Â
Augustine, as he went up to Britain to evangelize, he was to
say:...These people are Christians,
they have Churches, and the Word, we don't have anything to bring them. The pattern of the church was that it had
moved into the areas of carrying
forward the ordinances, and the areas of theÂ
Sacrament. It was a powerful and Elite Clergy, but there was now no great manifestation of Divine Power. In fact in
the days of Martin Luther, in areas
where in the establishment of 'The Word' was maintained, then was also heard 'The just shall live by Faith'.
And they had the gift of wisdom and the
gift of discernment, and they stood fast by the Scriptures, but there was no miracle of healing, no phenomena
of prophecy, and the areas of the
Church were battling thru with Luther and with others to maintain the areas of the doctrines. In the Time of the
Wesley's, these brothers were beginning
to discover that 'The Holy Spirit'...this Abiding presence of God wished to establish this area so that he
could heal the sick and raise the dead.
John and Charles Wesley taught that a person might be healed if it was God's Will, and they asked for His
healing. And they felt that they should
lay hands on such persons and pray. The Christian missionary alliance was then to come along and cite
that healing was in the Scriptures and
in the Atonement as it well was. And that all who wanted Christ to heal them should come forward, and they would lay
hands on them, and pray for them, and
they would be healed. And of course as the various churches came to the Light of the knowledge that healing
was in the Scriptures, and they had
gotten away from the areas of disputing what was in the Scriptures, and what had been canonized, or what they would
be distributing, or circulate then they
moved forward in that area. Then from the days when the distribution of the
Scriptures...as the Bible, then men everywhere were finding the Scriptures. And peoples of Britain were then
carrying the Gospel to the ends of the
earth. They carried the Gospel to their colonies, and the nations such as Germany and Belgium were
also carrying the Gospels everywhere they sent out their Evangels. All over,
where ever the Western World was
located, it became Christian. It became Christian thru the love of the Word, thru the preaching of the Word, but
still there was....no Latter Rain.   Then we moved into the
period of the 1900's and we were starting intoÂ
the Latter Days. We were coming up to the great stone of measure in
the Pyramid...The Great Step...and as
we watched the measures we were to discover that people were ardently preaching
the Gospel. They were sending out the
Evangel and winning people to Christ. They had the entire Race learning about Christ...from their Mothers knee. They
had read the Scriptures, and re‑read
the Scriptures, and still never came out with the whole vitality of the Word. A few were preaching here and
there that the 'healing' was in theÂ
Scriptures, that it was in the Atonement. And many were now calling for
the Holy Spirit. And at this time there
descended upon the church a great waveÂ
of healing. As we have said:...The Christian Missionary Alliance and
many others had the great gifts of
healing. There arose the areas of PentecostÂ
within our time, and then other movements came forward which
predominated, and they dwelt on the
miracles of the Scriptures. They wanted to see the miracles again, and then they became more concerned with the
miracles than they were with the gifts
of healing, or the wisdom of the gift of Discernment, or the other gifts. But
they wanted to have these gifts.   Now:..do not think that
this was alone in their areas that this had come forward, for God has suddenly been pouring out His Spirit, the
same as He is pouring it out today on
His sons and His daughters, on His young men and women, and His old men and women, and He is now pouring out this
'Latter Rain'. Thus we are now in the
period of the Latter Rain, and it is going toÂ
continue until the entirety of 'The Church' is filled with the Glory
of God. He bestowed upon men...gifts,
and He tells us in the Book of Corinthians these things:...He said:...I want
you to understand that there are aÂ
diversity of Gifts..but the same Spirit. There are differences of
Administration but the same LORD. (YAHWEH‑YAHSHUA). And then:...even tho
differences of operation, still they all work for the consummation of God's
Kingdom. But the manifestation of The Spirit is to give to everyone...a
gift of the Spirit, which will profit
all. For to one is given by the Spirit theÂ
word of Wisdom, to another the word of Knowledge...BY THE SAME SPIRIT.
To another...Faith, by the same Spirit,
to another the gift of healing...by the
same Spirit. To another the working of Miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discerning of spirits, to
another Divers kinds of tongues, and to
another the interpretations of tongues. But these are all manifestations of the
self‑same Spirit. For the Spirit dividing to every man.... severally at the Will of the Spirit. I
Corinthians 12:11.   Now:..there is no question
about the fact that God has given many menÂ
the gift of healing. I believe that every minister who believes in
Divine Healing becomes a recipient of
healing. And the gift of healing moves outÂ
of His Church as it should have, even thru the dark ages, and up thru
the Renaissance it was moving, altho it
was not discerned. But it is here nowÂ
and it has been for some time. There are areas Scriptures which back
this up, for Jesus said:...if any two
of you agree as to touching anything underÂ
heaven, you can ask, and it can be done. He also gave unto His
disciples... power...but then after
Pentecost they had power unlimited.   The areas of unlimited
power belonged unto His Disciples. And now here in the Latter Days, and in this period of the 'Latter Rain' which
is now upon Israel, then God says:...I
will send this upon Israel, and it willÂ
come by the media which would be the proper place for it to
come...The Church. For the Church is
the body of Christ in the world today, and there‑Â fore we are of Israel, we are Israel, and
the Church in the nations of Israel is
the body of Christ in the world today. We are told this in the Scriptures:..Ye are the body of Christ, and
the members in particular. And God has
set some to be ministers, and Apostles, and Prophets, and teachers and they bring forth miracles, and healing,
and help for governments inÂ
diversities. But not all are Apostles, or Prophets, and not all have
the gift of healing, or the power of
Miracles. Not all have these gifts, notÂ
all speak in tongues (languages) of God,...no...but, each one of you
have some of these gifts.   Now:...we may say that
under this instance that the gift of healing is a very vital gift. We have experienced many instances where we have
prayed for people, and they had Faith,
and were healed. One man I remember aboutÂ
20 years ago had a crushed back, and would have been permanently in a
cast, and we prayed for this man, and
in three days they took the cast off, andÂ
he was perfectly healed, and still is to this day. He was hurt working
in a mine, and this was one of the
first experiences we had of Divine HealingÂ
which went out from our praying. Altho we had witnessed cases of
Divine Healing...such as watching
goiters melt away, as tho struck with a broom.Â
We had watched a man wo fell off the Sea Wall in Santa Barbara who had
a broken back and was in a cast, and he
was healed, and they took off the cast...and
we have witnessed this. We saw a man struck by a street car, and the blood was coming from his juggler vein,
and he was prayed for, and the blood
flow stopped. When the ambulance arrived they wanted the man who had lost the blood, but he was whole. We have
witnessed all types of miraculousÂ
healings...there has been all kinds of healing, but do not think for
a moment that we do not recognize the
service of Doctors of the variousÂ
branches of healing, and the fine work that they are doing. There are
many cases in the Scriptures where
people reached the areas of extremity andÂ
there was no normal area of procedure...they were suffering, and they wanted to be healed of there sickness, and
God administered to them, and healed
them of their sickness and diseases. What happen to them? Take the Apostle Paul, he was healed upon many
occasions altho he had a blindness inÂ
his eyes, and he kept writing bigger and bigger as he went on thru
his life. But he lived to a virtually
ripe old age, and he talked about theÂ
coming of the LORD, and the things he was going to witness, and then
final‑Â ly he said:...after I am
gone write these things. But in his lifetime he said:..I am fully aware, that I have a house in the heavens, a
spiritual house, and if this one be
dissolved my consciousness will go into thatÂ
spiritual house not made by hands. But I don't want to die, I just want
to put on my Light. I just want to be
swallowed up in Immortality, I just wantÂ
to do that.   Then in those hours as he
said:...'They are alive'...and here he thoughtÂ
he would be alive as he wrote this. 'We who are alive are not going
to bring with him all the Elect who
have ever been in the earth, and he isÂ
going to raise the dead, and transform we who are alive and remain. In
a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, he
is going to envelope us with Light, and
we are going to see as he sees, and knows, and we will be as Immortal as The Christ.'   Now:...yes, Paul died, and
was laid away. Every individual healed byÂ
Jesus with the exception of John, is dead and buried. But they were
healed during their lifetime. When they
were under areas of great pain, they wereÂ
healed, when they called on the MOST HIGH GOD for assistance, in that
time and manner. But the pattern is
that all thru this period, they have beenÂ
passing into the plane of spirit, and now we have arrived at the
'Latter Days', and at the time in those
Latter Days, for the 'Latter Rain' outpouring, and in this period of the Latter
Rain outpouring there are now millions
living who will never die. And there is going to descend upon you a quickening of your consciousness as well
as your mortal body, because GodÂ
says:...I am going to do a short work of Righteousness, and then I am
going to come. He said:..I am going to
present unto ME...a Church which doesn'tÂ
have a roof over it. A Church which doesn't have a spot, or a blemish,
so great will be the healing work of
our God.   This work will arise thru
His Church, thru His Ministry, arise thruÂ
people who call for prayer, call for activity, call for His Truth. For
even in this hour one of the greatest
waves of development is that the Gospel ofÂ
the Kingdom is again being preached. It has been preached thru out all
this area of time, but now it is going
thru the area of a vast expansion ofÂ
moving out. People are coming back to the consciousness of who they
are, and what they are, and they are
being called to the recognition as to theÂ
difference in the sons of God, and the rest of the world. And they will
recognize in this day of the Latter Rain...this difference. He said:..the former rain was by measure, but now I am
going to pour out upon my sons andÂ
daughters this 'Latter Rain', and there will be no measure to it. This
is the declaration of the MOST HIGH
GOD.   We turn to the Book of
Malachi 4:2., and there is this statement concerning the Day of
Messiah:...'Unto you that Love my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in his
wings.' 'And ye shall go forth and grow as calves of a stall, and ye shall
tread down the wicked; for they shall
be as ashes under the soles of your feet...in the day that I do this.'Â
Thus saith YAHWEH OF HOSTS.'Â Â Â So in this climatic hour
when the triumphant hour comes..as ChristÂ
returns...which is soon to be upon us, then He will come in as the LORD
of Righteousness with healing in His
wings, and he has promised for that timeÂ
...the perfection of His Race...His Household in that day.   In his hour, as were the
Apostles in their time, we are cognizant of the fact that God has bestowed upon many of His ministers, the gift
of healing. He has bestowed the areas
of prophecy, and the gifts of discernment, andÂ
some have one gift and some another. God says:...I give this gift to
one, and that gift to another, but the
Holy Spirit has descended upon every lastÂ
believer, and it will come upon all Israel, because God hath ordained
it. But these are the gifts of the
Spirit, and therefore we can say that healing is under the Atonement. One of
the things God did in that Atonement...Â
He made...altogether a complete and perfect sacrifice for all the
transgressions. He restored back to us the right to life, and He is coming
to restore upon the entire Household
the fullness of Glory, until the Scripture will be fulfilled in which He
says:...arise and shine thy light hasÂ
come, and the Glory of God has risen upon you. And we shall see
forever... then no more tears, no
sorrow, no pain, and no anxiety.   As these things come to
pass we may by Faith know that what was happening in the early days of the
Church can be duplicated, and a whole lotÂ
more, and it shall be done for this is the hour. We do not think that
this calls for big shows held down in
the Shrine Auditorium or tremendous massÂ
meetings where the whole meeting is given over to mass healings. Some
of these men with gifts of healing may
be alright but they also may not beÂ
given any area of discernment in other areas of Scripture. But the
fact remains that we continue to pray
for the sick, we will continue to try toÂ
answer the cry of the person who comes, and we will pray for this one,
and we will see more manifestation of
this, because now...it is the wholeÂ
Gospel which will be preached.  Â
It is the Gospel of the
Kingdom which preaches the advocacy of theÂ
purposes of God. In this day the demon spirits will be cast out, and
no longer will they mongrelize your
Race. No longer will they integrate yourÂ
society and cause Faith to be swept away from the earth. Because God
has lifted up His voice, He has raised up
His ministers and has called for HisÂ
Elect.                                   (End of Message)       .
