                           THE
POWER OF GOD Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
by  Dr. Wesley A.
Swift----4-13-69 As we open our Bibles this
week after Easter, and think about the power of HIS Resurrection, we would
recall to your thoughts that tho YAHSHUA the Messiah died on the Cross, the
Power of HIS Resurrection was Spirit.Â
And also, YAHWEH is Spirit. And
those who worship HIM must worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth. Remember, that the spirit is not only the
Father of matter, but that YAHWEH never died.Â
The body prepared for HIM knew death.Â
And as far as it being a Divine body, yes--it was a Divine body.---In
fact, we are told in the book of Colossians, that it pleased YAHWEH that the
fullness of HIM could dwell in the man Christ Jesus. And tho that body hung on the Cross, carried all the
transgressions for HIS race and all the transgressions of the whole world, and
as it died, was committed unto the hands of the Father---the soul consciousness
passed in to its contest with Beelzebub in the Netherworld. The power that raised Christ from the grave
was the power of a Living and vital YAHWEH, for God never died. If God had died the
Universe would have been wiped out. But
God did not die, for God is Spirit. And
they who worship HIM, just worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth. Thus, it is as God is Spirit and the essence
of this is brought to pass, we understand that God is Light, and the Life of
men. We turn to Colossians
again, and catch a concept of the Spirit for we are told concerning these things,
by the Apostle Paul, who is very happy and very significantly aware that we are
strengthened with all might, according to HIS glorious power unto all patience
and long suffering with joyfulness--giving thanks unto the Father which hath
made us meet to be partakers of this great inheritance of HIS breathing
offspring in light. That we might be therefore inheritant of HIS glorious power
and that we are joint partakers with al the other breathing offspring of God in
Light. Who hath delivered us from
the power of darkness and translates us into the Kingdom. And now talking about the Christ, Paul tells
us this. Who is the image of the
invisible God, the first born of HIS creation.Â
HE is talking about the embodiment of God, the man YAHSHUA, the Messiah,
Christ Jesus. For by HIM were all
things created whether they be in the heaven or in the earth. Whether they be visible or invisible. Whether they be thrones or dominions, or
principalities or powers. All things
were created by HIM and for HIM. HE is
before all things and by HIM all things exist. Therefore, as talks about
the magnitude of the Greatness of God, who understands---tho God dwelt in the
flesh, tho God died in a body of flesh, yet, God never knew extinction. Never died in the areas of Spirit which
fills the heavens and the earth. So the
power of God lies in the Spirit. The
power of God lies in the power that created all the heavens and all the earth
and all the Universe. For it tells us
that HE created all the powers and all principalities, every plain and every
dimension in all the patterns of the Universe.Â
The electronic field, the light planes in all areas in which the Spirit
exists. For actually, in the light
planes and dimensions of light, we find the spiritual realm and that is why HE
dwells in the Light, for HE is the Light tat is the light of men. For the Spirit is the real light of
men. You have a spiritual body, a body
composed of light. And you have a body,
a physical body. The physical body may
contain more elements, yet the physical body can know death. But the Spiritual body cannot die. It is begotten of incorruptible seed and it
lives and abides forever. Thus, it is
that Jesus said, ‘I am the Resurrection and the Life, he that lives and
believes in ME----.’ And here what did
HE say?-- ‘Ye shall never die.’ Therefore, God points out
because you are the Household of YAHWEH, the offspring of YAHWEH, then you are
the incorruptible seed and you live and abide forever. And in this Faith, and in this understanding
of this Faith, you possess your soul. Now, under this instance
of this, YAHWEH talks about power in the physical world. YAHWEH designs to produce in a physical
world, everything in the image of the Spirit, from the Spiritual plane HE has
possessed in dominion. HE not only has promised
this, but HE promises to envelope the physical world with Spiritual power and
enclose it with Light. HE promises to
do this with HIS Household and HE also promises that the day will come when the
physical world and the spiritual world will be as one. So under these
circumstances, Paul says, ‘All these things were made by HIM and without HIM
was not anything made that was made.’ Then HE talks about
power. In the instance of this, we want
to point out that after the resurrection and shortly after, the Disciples had
been with HIM. Then they went out to
the hill, where shortly, HE was to depart from them. Now they didn’t realize this, but as they came out toward the
hill, they saw a cloud sitting on that hill and as they came toward that cloud,
Jesus said to them, ‘I want you to return to Jerusalem and wait there to be
endowed with power from on high. For
you shall have power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you.’ The translation in it
fullness is:----You shall have power after the fullness of MY Spirit, after the
fullness of MY presence, for I will come unto you. Christ declared this in
the 14th chapter of John. Altho the
Disciples did not always understand this.Â
Jesus said that HE would pray the Father that HE would send on them, the
power of the spirit, for they were children of the spirit, and the power of HIS
Spirit could be understood and used in a physical world, and HE said, ‘I will
come unto you.’ Therefore, Christ is the
Father. HE is the fullness of the
Spirit. HE is the embodiment of YAHWEH
and HE says, ‘I will come unto you.’ Therefore one of the
situations in which the Disciples found themselves as Jesus walked into and
disappeared into this cloud, was that two men came out of this cloud--two
messengers--and they said, ‘Ye men of Galilee, don’t stand there looking into
this cloud. This same ONE, this mighty
Christ that you saw go, is going to return just as you have seen HIM go.’ That mighty Flag Ship which was hidden in
the clouds took off and it carried HIM into the heavens and the two messengers
returned the same way. This great sight of the
ascension and the power of the ascension left the disciples musing. They pondered all this power of this super
dreadnaught in which Christ swept out into space. So the Disciples went back
to Jerusalem and they stayed there until they were empowered with power from on
high. Thus, it is that the Apostle Paul
tells us that we can receive, for we are the inheritors of HIS Glorious power. What is this Glorious
power? My friends, it is the Power of
God. It is as much power as you have
perception, light, vitality, and individual Spiritual perception to
receive. That is how much power you
have. There is no limit on the power of
YAHWEH. There is no limit on the power
of YAHWEH to protect HIS Kingdom. There is no limit on the power of YAHWEH to
provide for HIS Kingdom. This power was
shown to you in the Old Testament as HE provided for HIS Household. HE did this again in the New Testament. And so it is that we see this strange
operation of mighty power. We take a look at the
whole earth and round about it and some people say it is just like it was thru
out all ages. Don’t you believe
it. This world was made every bit by
the hand of the MOST HIGH YAHWEH. HE
has made everything that exists within ti.Â
And every pattern of the Universe, HE has made. And it is still a world subject unto
HIM. HE has the power, so don’t forget
that. Now, we go back into the
Old Testament period and we think of how the powers of darkness and the forces
of evil designed to try to move in on the Adamic race. They are still trying it today. Make no mistake about that. In the book of Revelation,
it tells us concerning this in one of the signs of the latter days. (Rev. 9) An Angel sounds his trumpet and
John sees a star falling as it is out of the heavens and it has a key to the
bottomless pit. And he opens up the
bottomless pit----and out of that pit comes smoke, a great smoke. And the air is darkened by this smoke and
this smoke contains thousands and thousands of locusts, and they come buzzing
out of the pit. In reality, they are
evil demons or evil spirits with satanic power and they come out of the pit to
try to take over all the world. They are trying to gather up the hosts of
Luciferian nations and all those who have succumbed to Lucifer’s design and
plan and they want to hurl all those powers of Satan against the Kingdom of
God. This, my friends, is their final
pattern of assault. And John saw here this
darkened cloud as the power of Lucifer emerges. And it says here in Revelation, chapter 9, and the 11th verse,
that these evil powers that came out of the pit had a king over them who is the
Angel out of the bottomless pit. And
the name of this Angel in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon and in the Greek tongue
it is Appollyon. And as we see all this
power, we remember that it tells us more about this power of Lucifer in the
12th chapter of Revelation. There is
tells us that the power of Lucifer which has always been against the people of
YAHWEH and HIS Kingdom, is now in the final assault on the Kingdom. This time, all the Satanic forces are
concentrated on the Kingdom. We go back into the Old
Testament and we see that the Luciferian force always designs evil. They pattern evil. In the instance of what happened in the Upper Tarim Basin, is a
good example. For there where Noah lived, the powers of Satan had sought to
mongrelize, to integrate the White race in all ways. And the people of tat basin had become degenerated into a
deplorable condition as they followed the rules of Satan for the earth. Here had come the fallen Angels and they
mixed with people of earth and they had degenerated until even their evil Baal
priests were flesh eaters---cannibals.Â
That is where you get the world Cain-Baal. Or priests of Baal. So in that day, YAHWEH looked down and HE
saw this great catastrophe and HE warned Noah.Â
And HE said to Noah, ‘It is time for these people to shape up or I will wipe
them out.’ So HE chose Noah to build
the boat. And I imagine they thought
Noah was a funny old man to be building a boat out on the plains of that High
Plateau, where the only water was some artesian springs.  For they didn’t know that their land was
over a vast area of an underground ocean.Â
So the people laughed at Noah as he preached and built for 120
years. He warned the people about their
patterns of corruption and he told them what would happen to them as YAHWEH
would all at once not put up with their Satanic design. Thus, the warning before time. The scripture tells us
that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the day of the Coming of
the Son of Man. Well, Noah warned these
people and they laughed. I was thinking as I
listened the other day to Mayor Alliotia of San Francisco, as he said on the
18th of April, San Francisco would hold an Earthquake Ball. They would dance in the streets, for all
these silly prophets to see who are predicting that there will be another
earthquake in San Francisco. So on this
anniversary of the great Quake, we in San Francisco will take to the streets
and we will laugh and enjoy ourselves.Â
All right, laugh. But will the
day come when they get their comeuppance? Anyway, the people laughed
in the days of Noah. And then one day
Noah and his family and all things that were to be in the ark, were in
place. And God closed the door. And the Bible tells me that a little cloud
came over and it rained for 40 days and 40 nights and a great earthquake came and
opened up the fountains of the deep and this subterranean ocean was discovered
and the water came up to that great rim of this inland sea and then the water
ran down the great Wang Ho River into China, and down the rivers which passed
the Ur of the Chaldeas, the great basin between these two rivers--the Euphrates
and the Tigres. And that flood wiped
out all these smartalecks who thought they knew more than the man that YAHWEH
had called. So here again, in this
hour, the forces of Satan have only one thought and that is to destroy the race
of the sons of YAHWEH. This was a Luciferian plot from the beginning, to
mongrelize and integrate this race of the sons of YAHWEH. But the power of God--remember--was
sufficient to bring the rain and drop the earth and drown those who had defied
all the awakening HE had sent them. Now, as I listened, even
the TV is talking about an earthquake which will come. Now it may not happen this April, and it may
not happen this year or the next. But
this I know. God Almighty does not give
visions to ministers and visions to HIS people and give warnings of judgement
without a reason. These people who have
been mocking and mocking reminds me that the Scriptures say that they will be
mocking the Kingdom of God in the last days.Â
And that they will be wining and dining and dancing in the streets and
catastrophe comes upon them. In this
hour this is a strange and unique situation that we see here. But there is power in God
and HE moves out to protect HIS people.Â
HE moves out to utilize the earth.Â
And in the 12th chapter of the book of Revelation, it demonstrates how
far the power of God goes in this matter.Â
It tells you here how there was a great war in the heavens and how
Michael the Great Prince drove Lucifer from the heavens and drove him to earth. Then it tells how Lucifer went to make war
with Israel--the woman--who produced the Man Child---the woman who produces
God’s scriptures and God’s culture.Â
Then you read how the Serpent was to cast out of his mouth the flood
which will swallow up the woman but how the earth is to help the woman and the
earth swallowed up the flood which came out of the Dragon. Now the Dragon was angry because he went to
make war with the woman who has the commandments of God and the testimony of
Jesus the Christ, the Israel of God, the Issue of God. So the Dragon is at war with you. In the fullness of God as
Jesus walked here in earth, do you know what HE said HE came here to do? HE came to overthrow all the work of the
devil. That’s what the Kingdom was
built here for--to overthrow the work of the Kingdom of the devil. And now much power is there for you? There is all power sent forth from God to
accomplish this for HIS Household of this day. So as we look again at
this situation,---the flood thought to swallow the woman but the earth helped
her. Then remember in the days when
Moses was leading out of captivity, the Children of Israel, and God dried up
the Red Sea and Israel walked thru on dry land, and then how HE fed and cared
for HIS people. Still at that time,
even there were evil men and they moved in among the Levi and they stirred up
trouble and then they began to say, ‘why listen to Moses, why follow his
leadership?’ So God said, ‘Get back,
Moses, and let Me at them.’ But Moses
said, ‘O please LORD there may be some Israelites among them. But God said, ‘Don’t worry, Moses, I’m not
going to destroy Israel. But you go
tell these people that I have given you a vision and in that vision you saw
that I am going to suddenly open up the ground and swallow up all these people
around Israel. And they when the people
of Israel see these that will die peculiar deaths, then they will know that I
have chosen you.’ So we understand the power
of God. And in that day the earth
opened up and swallowed Korah and the men who followed him and they and all
their goods perished from the midst of the congregation. All Israel that was round about them fled
because they were afraid. Then fire
from the Lord came out and burned 250 men who had sought to offer incense
before Korah. Listen, my friends. There is more damage in a tremor than in an
atom bomb. And God can just wiggle a
finger and the earth shifts and moves.Â
This is an example of how God protects HIS leadership and HE did this in
the days of Noah and Moses and also Abraham.Â
For I think of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and what the power
of God did to the people of those cities. As it as in the days of
Noah, as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, so it is to be in this
latter day, with this Luciferian household, and this Luciferian kingdom and
these Luciferian children. Now, turn to the book of
Peter and we see what it says about their ways to deceive. God didn’t spare the Angelic hosts that
transgressed. But delivered them unto
chains of darkness until the end. HE
didn’t spare the old world of Noah when in that day their design was to destroy
the Kingdom of God. HE did not spare
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.Â
Instead, He made an example of them who live ungodly. But HE delivered just Lot, because he was
vexed by their wickedness. And here
today, these people are the descendants of these same Luciferian forces. And
they are at work and their design is to wipe out the Kingdom, just like they
have tried to do since the days of Adam.Â
Look around today. See these
anti-Christians as they push sex education and all their filth in the schools
and churches of our nation. The scriptures say that
these people are natural brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed. They receive the reward of their
unrighteousness. They count it a
pleasure to riot in the day time. Well,
look at our colleges, and how they are rioting in the day time. Some of them are taking pleasure from this
rioting because they have been taken by the Satanic prophets and a degenerate
society. Now it says, ‘They are
blasphemers, sporting themselves among their own deceivers, while they feed
upon you. Having eyes full of adultery
that cannot see truth, unstable people--cursed children is what God calls
them. This is the scum that has come
out of the pits of hell and that seeks to destroy our children and our
nation. Thus, it is that all the
Luciferian forces with all their evil power are out to destroy your
nation. Remember that the United States
of America and all the Christian nations are under attack by these Luciferian
forces and this is an all-out attack and don’t you forget it. So God speaks and HE says
that HE is about thru with this situation.Â
But there is power for anything HE seeks to do even to the shaking of
the earth any time HE wants to. Power, like the former
rain, which came in the great age when the Disciples went back to Jerusalem to
wait for their power from God. And we
are told that all at once came a force as tho a mighty wind---the force such as
holds the Universe together. Power came
to the Disciples and they were illuminated as with neon fire and they sat with
cloven tongues of it upon their heads and then they started to speak and the
people of that city and those Israelites that had come to Jerusalem for this
climactic time, all stood to listen to these Disciples speak. And then they marveled for these men spoke
in their languages so they could understand them. They were speaking in the language of Britain and of Germany and
of Spain, and all the Mediterranean area where the Israelites had scattered
to. The power of God was present there. Then you remember
Peter. He who was so frightened that he
denied his LORD. He as so downhearted
when he followed the crowd and then so discouraged when he heard Jesus say, ‘It
is finished.’ Then came the
Resurrection and Peter came to life.Â
But here at Pentecost, the power of the Spirit hit that fishermen and he
was galvanized to speak. He told this
gathering, of the Resurrection and he told them that the power of God was
present here at that hour. And he
accused the Jews of the Crucifixion of Christ.Â
And he preached the Gospel to those of Judah and Benjamin gathered
there. Well, what happened? Over 3000 were baptized and the Spirit of
God moved out on that church and that was the ‘former rain.’ The former rain or first outpouring of God’s
Spirit was here at Pentecost. In the book of Joel, it
says ‘I send the former rain and then I’ll send the latter rain without
measure.’ The former rain would be
moderate, but the latter rain will come without measure. Now the LORD talks about a
short work of righteousness. HE says,
‘I will do a short work of righteousness and it shall last a short time.’ The Greek word is_____(entracks?) And that is about 7 days to 2 weeks. That is how short it is. So the short work of
righteousness an dafter this will I COME.Â
I will pour out MY Spirit upon MY sons and daughters in a ‘latter rain’
of spiritual power. You know Peter and John
came walking into the Temple to speak again and the Jews were going to
challenge them. And this beggar began
to cry out to them. Peter said, ‘I
don’t have silver and gold, but in the NAME OF JESUS THE CHRIST, RISE UP AND
WALK.’ The man leaped up and shouted
and ran down the steps. This man had
known the power of God and the whole country was talking about this. And then the miracles came and the sick were
healed. This was that happened in the former rain. I want you to know that this was the former rain and this was
just moderate power. Now, you are told that
there will be a ‘latter rain’ and in this latter rain, a short work of
righteousness. That in just a few weeks
of spiritual power the church is going to have the dynamic power of God that
will move thru out the structure of the church and move out TO THE PEOPLE. That this power moves to seek, and there
will be Miracle power. There will be
help. There will be vitality and it is
going to come with suddenness. And it
will be a short work of righteousness. I want you to know that
all of these conditions that you are beginning to see are the measure of this
and the hope of this. By your Faith,
‘so be it unto you.’ You are going to
see a victory over the powers of darkness.Â
You are going to see a victory over the Soviet Union and over Red
China. You are going to see the hand of
God step in, for you are people protected by the power of God. How much Power? All power. For without
HIM, was not anything made. It makes no difference
whether it is the shaking earth or whether it is a meteorite shower as God sent
it out of the heavens back in the days when Joshua was called to lead and God
stopped the Cainanites and the Mongolians one mile away and stopped them cold
and with a meteor shower. We turn over here now and
we see that the Apostle Paul says, ‘Therefore HE hath strengthened us with HIS
glorious power.’ HIS Glorious
Power. What is that? A Faith that you will perceive and recognize
and understand. God says, ‘Upon My sons
and daughters, the children of the incorruptible seed whom I have predestined
to conform to MY own Image, I have power for them, and power according to their
Faith and their understanding. I think we are going to
understand and know more about the power of God as we see the power of the
enemy rise. And we see the area of his
corruption, as we see the design to demoralize our society. Then we will see the anger rise up in the
continence of MY people, and THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A CAINANITE LEFT IN THE
HOUSE OF GOD. (End of sermon)
