That’s right. Living Victoriously class people, take heed to the ministry which you have received; which YOU have received. It is in your possession, you’re responsible for what you do with it. Take heed to it, which you have received in the Lord, that you do one thing, people. What? Fulfill it!

We’ve only got one life, people (this is it), before the coming. There is no reincarnation for us; there’s eternal life. So we have to take heed to do one thing. What? Fulfill it! That’s the Word over the world! That’s God in Christ in you! That’s “Living Victoriously With God and For God,” people!!

Let us pray. Okay?

Thank you, Father, for the greatness of your Word. Lord, how we love you tonight in this class. And how thankful I am, Father, for the ineffable greatness of your presence and power and reaching down in Your mercy and grace these weeks to bless all of these wonderful people. And Father I thank you for allowing me to live in this time and be a part of their wonderful life and for their great love for me and for You and the Word. And I thank you for the abundance of Your divine presence and for Your grace and mercy to each one of us, that we may carry the ministry to fulfill it in our lifetime. Amen.

If Jesus Came to Your House

If Jesus Came to Your House If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two– If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you’d do. Oh, I know you’d give your nicest room to such an honored guest, And all the food you’d serve to him would be the very best, And you would keep assuring him you’re glad to have him there– That serving him in your home is a joy beyond compare. But when you saw him coming, would you meet him at the door With arms outstretched in welcome to your heavenly visitor? Or would you have to change your clothes before you left him in? Or hide some magazines and put the Bible where they’d been? Would you turn off the TV and radio, and hope he hadn’t heard? And wish you hadn’t uttered that last, loud, hasty word? Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out? Would you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about? And I wonder—if the savior spent a day or two with you, Would you go right on doing the things you always do? Would you go right on saying the things you always say? Would life for you continue as it does from day to day? Would your family conversation keep up its usual pace? Or would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace? Would you sing the songs you always sing, and read the books you read, And let him know the things on which your mind and soul feed? Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you’d planned to go? Or would you, maybe, change your plans for just a day or so? Would you be glad to have him meet your very best friends? Or would you hope they’d stay away until his visit ends? Would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on? Or would you sigh with great relief when he at last was gone? It might be interesting to know the things that you would do If Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time with you.

There are three words you absolutely have to remember tonight, bless your heart: believing, love, and hope. All three of these words, people, grow out of or come from the Word.

Now remember, hope anticipates. Hope does what? Anticipates.

Believing appropriates, takes it to itself.

Then it’s love. And there we’re talking about agapaō, the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation. And love activates both believing and hope.

Now when you work the Word of God and you endeavor to serve people by serving them the Word of God, one great thing that you learn as you work the Word is that God marked the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. He marked this Bible, the Scriptures, as to that which He wanted emphasized. I used to ask myself the question, “What’s important in the Word?” Didn’t know the answer. I know the answer tonight. The answer is that God marked everything in the Bible that He wanted to really emphasize, put the oomph to it, He marked it with a figure of speech. Figures of speech are God’s marking in the Word from Genesis to Revelation as to what God wants emphasized.

You see, we’re endeavoring to keep the unity of peace. We’re endeavoring to keep the unity of spirit (is what I’d better say), in peace, in that bond, that cohesiveness of peace. Endeavoring to keep it. We don’t want to form a new denomination. Good Lord, we got 4,000 now. We don’t want to form another church outfit with rules and regs and everybody has to do so-and-so. No. We just want to keep the Word, people, …with the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation.

Ephesians 4:3: Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit [keep the unity of the Spirit] in the bond of [what?] peace.

Right ?!?

God’s Bank Ain’t Busted Yet

The bank had closed; My earthly store had vanished from my hand; I felt that there was no sadder one than I in all the land. My washerwoman, too, had lost her little mite with mine, And she was singing as she hung the clothes upon the line. “How can you be so gay?” I asked; “Your loss don’t you regret?” “Yes, Ma’m, but what’s the use to fret? God’s bank ain’t busted yet!” I felt my burden lighter grow; her faith I seemed to share; In prayer I went to God’s great throne, and laid my troubles there. The sun burst from behind the clouds, in golden splendor set; I thanked God for her simple words: “God’s bank ain’t busted yet!” And now I draw rich dividends, more than my hands can hold Of faith and love and hope and trust and peace of mind untold. I thank the Giver of it all, but still I can’t forget My washerwoman’s simple words: “God’s bank ain’t busted yet!” Oh, weary ones upon life’s road, when everything seems drear, And losses loom on every hand, and skies seem not too clear; Throw back your shoulders, lift your head, and cease to chafe and fret. Your dividends will be declared: “God’s bank ain’t busted yet!”

“Living Victoriously in Christ’s Name,” people! As he is! As he is, so are we (born-again believers) in this world for we carry his name. We have his brand on us; we have been marked out; we have been called; we have been stamped by God Almighty with the name of His son, Jesus Christ, people! As he is! As he is, so are we where? In this world. That’s right.

Every believer, people… Every believer, people, represents Him because every believer has a legal standing before the Father, he has a legal state before the Father, and he has a legal power of attorney from the Father. He, God, has given us the power of attorney, which is the legal right and the obligation to use His name and the name of the one who has given us the power – Jesus Christ. You see, people, instead of Jesus doing it here upon earth, he is seated at the right hand of the Father. But he has shed forth this which you now see and hear. Instead of Jesus doing it here upon earth, we are doing it in his stead! All power is given unto you from heaven upon earth. “Go ye, therefore. Lo, I am [what?] with you always.” You don’t need to pray for the sick, you don’t need to anoint with oil, just minister deliverance in his name! We represent him individually, and we represent him as a Body of born-again believers.

It’s the revelation walk, people, to use that name of Jesus Christ. Ha-ha-ha. The miraculous and the supernatural is found only in the new birth, with Christ in you, the hope of glory. Take the supernatural out of Christianity and you end up with spiritualism. You see, people, man was created by a miracle-working God. The miracle realm is man’s living reality, it’s man’s living realm, for he is by the new birth the companion of the miracle-working God who is his Father. That’s why believing is never a fighting struggle. We should be as unconcerned of having to exercise believing as we are when we write a check knowing we’ve got the money in the bank. When you do that, do you get all nervous and all shook when you write a check? {no} No, you’re at total ease. {laughter} If you’ve got the money in the bank.
