In this sermon, the speaker reflects on the transformation of the apostle Paul, who was once filled with hatred and violence towards Christians. The speaker emphasizes that something profound happened to Paul on the Damascus road, causing him to completely change his life and surrender to Jesus as Lord. The speaker highlights the power of Jesus' resurrection, stating that it dealt a blow to death and delivered believers from the law of sin and death. The speaker also mentions the guards at Jesus' tomb, questioning their efficiency and pointing out that it was God who raised Jesus from the dead, not Jesus himself.

I have the privilege, and indeed it is a privilege, to introduce to us Sister Hattie Hammond. I believe she knows Jesus better than anyone that I've ever met. At least she's able to minister that to me more than anyone that I've ever known. Wherever I've been in my Christian work, the Lord has always brought her close to me in more ways than I think she'll ever know. Only Jesus knows the depth and the breadth of her own ministry to me. I love her so much that I can hardly speak. Whether it's preparing the Word, or doing it, or sealing it in my heart, she's had so much to do with my life in Him. Jesus is life, and Jesus is resurrection life, and Jesus is the bread of life, and He's life abundant. And because she lives and moves and has her being in Him, I know that today she's going to feed us, because she is the anointed and appointed Word for this hour. Don't kid yourself, the fact of the matter is I'm just a fill-in. Hello everybody. Isn't Jesus wonderful? Thanks for coming. It would have been lonesome here if you hadn't come. But isn't this a marvelous season of the year? This is, what week is this? Holy Week, yes. Are you having a holy time? Eh? What kind of a time are you having? Good, I'm glad you're having a holy time in this holy week. Just walking with Jesus, talking to Him. He wants us to come into the Spirit with Him this week. Be with Him where He is. I love to have meetings. Holy Week, I think it is the most blessed week of the whole year, really. And just from His triumphant entry, just each night be with Him where He is and what He's doing. Really enter into the Spirit, the Spirit of things with Him. And I hope we can do that today. I want to just talk a few pictures relative to the Resurrection. I hope your pastor on Sunday morning will just really... I'll let them take you into the theology of the Resurrection. But we just want to get into the life of the Resurrection. And I pray that what Jesus accomplished for us, we will be able to partake of that bread in each of our individual lives this morning. How many of you would just like to really eat Jesus today? Yes, really eat Him. He's that living bread that came down from Heaven and He came to give Himself to us, give Himself for us. So we can eat Him, literally, and drink Him, literally. Really we can. And we can go out of here with a chunk of bread. And I say that reverently, that we can just live in and feed on all the rest of this week. And really enter into what Easter is really all about. Now, you know, you can just be terribly upset and disturbed about how the world is dealing with Easter and what they're doing about it and how they're treating it. But, you know, I do meet people that are so out of the spirit that all they want to talk about is the commercialism of Easter and all the egg trees around town. Isn't that awful? Isn't that awful? Isn't that awful? Well, you can get in that spirit if you want to. But the poor world does no different. So it really doesn't matter if they throw eggs at each other. It really doesn't matter. Because that is the world and they don't know Jesus anyhow. And so they are not, it's impossible for them to come into the spirit of Easter with Jesus. So don't get all fussed up inside of you and miss the whole thing yourself because of what somebody else is doing. Amen? Yeah. But, all right, now let me tell you something else. You want to hear it? You know, these Easter egg trees and so on. And this little woman came up to me and she said, how did these eggs get into Easter anyhow, this Easter bunny? How did this get into Easter? I said, well, honey, it's a beautiful story, really. And if you understand, you know, if you understand how the Easter egg got into Easter, you would say, what a fool I have been to let this whole thing upset me like this and be so critical about it all. Well, the egg is one of the most beautiful emblems of Easter. Do you know that? Do you know that? Because inside that egg, ooh, I just get thrilled. And just thinking about it and just blessed all over. So you can bring me all the eggs you want and I'll just love it. Inside that egg is a tiny little germ of life, right? In which is the possibility of another whole expression of life. And it is the most perfect picture of the resurrection that you could find. That egg left to itself will never be anything else but an egg. And left to itself long enough, it'll just be a rotten egg. Uh-huh. Right now, isn't that the poor sinner and his condition and never amounts to anything? But inside that egg is a germ, a little tiny germ of life. You put that egg in the proper incubation. Warm. Cover it. Warm. Incubation. Holy Spirit, breathe on it. Warm it. And something begins to happen. Something begins to happen inside that egg that swallows up all that albumin. And something begins to happen in that yolk. And inside that shell is another expression of life. Entirely different, entirely different. Possibility of what it can be. What it can be. And so it begins, that other life begins to take form. Form. And inside of there, little eyes are forming. And little legs are forming. Say yes. Yes. And a little heart is beginning to beat. Yes. And things are happening until something, a new life, a different life entirely is formed. And then the word says, when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. Well, it isn't an egg anymore. It really isn't an egg anymore. And when that which is perfect is come, and that little perfect life formed on the inside, that which is in part, it's only part of an egg. And it breaks its seal and breaks the power of its tomb. And that which is in part falls away. And that which is perfect takes off. And you don't say, oh, look at that beautiful egg flying through the air. You wouldn't think of it. It is no longer an egg. But here is a beautiful bird that's out there, an entirely new and different life. Oh, it's something altogether different. The result of the life that was on the inside of it. Now, this is how the egg got into Easter. And this is the beautiful thing that it really is. Do you know you are like that Easter egg? Do you know something is going on down inside of you? Do you know there's a little germ of life down inside of you? And that, listen dear, in that tiny little germ of everlasting eternal life that was dropped inside of you when you accepted Jesus, in that little germ of life, when you accepted the world, the world and that germ dropped into you, in that little germ is the possibility of another form of life entirely. Everything that you and I want to be. Say yes. Yes, ma'am. Everything we want to be. Everything you ever hoped to be is right inside of you right now. In this new life. In the beginning of this new world. This germ of life that is called Jesus. He's right inside this egg shell. He's right inside this, you know. So we are a mixture of two things. Just like this is neither an egg or a bird. It's neither an egg or a bird. It's part bird and it's part egg. If this life in it there keeps on growing and keeps on moving and keeps on developing, it will reach that perfect stage. And Jesus inside of you wants to grow, grow and develop and mature until, until, let's finish this. This egg thing is finished. And you are so full of Jesus Christ that his head is in your head and it's no longer your head. And his torso is inside of you. And his heart just fills your heart. Hallelujah. And his disposition gets all in here. And the yolk disappears. And the albumin disappears. And the Helen disappears. And Joey disappears. And Julie disappears. And Johnny disappears. Hallelujah. And Jesus grows and grows and grows. And his arms gets inside your arms and he forms. And all this is just egg shell covering him. Just the skin covering the Holy Christ. That's forming inside of us. And one day when that which is perfect is come. That which is perfect is come. Don't try to keep anybody down here when that which is perfect is come. Don't try that. Don't, don't, don't hold on to them. Don't try to get them down here. Just release them and loose them and let them go. And the fact of the matter is, you know, sometimes eggs hatch one at a time. Just one time. Sometimes the whole nest comes alive at the same time. And one of these days this whole nest is coming alive. Whoo! Hallelujah. When the trumpets sound. The dead in Christ shall rise. And we that are living, living, living, living. That's living in Christ. Alive with Christ. Full of Christ. Not just people who call themselves Christians. But people living, living, living alive. Full of God. Full of the Holy Ghost. This Christ living in us. That which is perfect is come. And all you have to say is, come up higher. That's what it says it's going to say. Come up higher. This, this human thing. This flesh. This, this whole shell. This whole shell. This, these prison bars. These prison bars. Will be broken. Will crack open. Hallelujah. This zipper that I've always wanted to pull down to get out of. To get out of. That thing's going to break. Wide open. And we will be released. And get out of here. Oh, how beautiful. So go on home and cook your eggs and love them and enjoy them and eat them. Amen. Amen. That little, yes. And enjoy them. Every Easter tree you see, don't fuss at it. Don't fuss at it. Don't enter into that. But say, oh, that'd be a good opportunity to witness. Go up to the door and say, thanks you for the Easter tree. Do you know what this means? And tell them about Jesus. Isn't that right, Sister? Isn't that right? It's a good way to witness, isn't it? Yes. Go and tell them what that's all about. What that's all about. I like to take the emblems that are so full of me. So full of me. Christmas, I have a great time with all the emblems of Christmas. Folks do things, they don't know why they do it. They have no idea why they do it. But it's wonderful to know what, why you do what you do. Eh? Yes. Who knows why Good Friday is called Good Friday? We're coming up to Good Friday. Who knows why Good Friday is called Good Friday? Do you know why? Do you know why? And how we battle with that. Here is Jesus hanging on the cross. It's the day of the crucifixion. And didn't they treat Jesus terrible? They treated him so terrible, so terrible. And what about it is good? Why would they ever call it Good Friday? Well, let me help you with that. It wasn't always called Good Friday. It started out being called God Friday. God Friday. God Friday. Do you like that better? Yes. Because of what God did. Because of, of, of. This was, this was God hanging out there on the cross. And this was God smiting his son. God allowed this. This is God doing this. Don't, again, don't blame those Roman soldiers. They had to do what they did. Jesus knew that. It was prophesied. Everything that happened to him was prophesied. It had to be done that way. Don't blame them. Don't blame them. It had to be because you and I were sold under sin. We were under the death penalty. God had said, the day you eat thereof, to Adam. The day you eat thereof, you die. And Adam did eat. And Adam died. And as in Adam, all died, the scriptures say. All of us came under that death. Came under that death. Don't ever say man was cursed. The scripture doesn't say that. Man was never cursed. The ground was cursed, but not man, ever. Man came under the judgment of God. And came under this wall of sin and death. And the penalty for Adam's sin was death. And there was, somebody had to die to pay that penalty. And whoever died to pay that penalty had to be free from sin themselves. It couldn't be anybody that had sin in them. And every man since Adam that has been born has sin in him. We are born in sin. So there wasn't one single person down here who could pay that penalty. And there was no angel in heaven who could do that because they are another form of God's creation. They are not human nature. And they have no responsibility for what human beings do. Because they are another form of God's creation entirely. They are responsible for what they do. And all those angels that fell with Lucifer have to pay for their own sin. They are already, the word says, under judgment. And they are already in prison with the devil. And they can never be loose out of that. But they are not responsible for the sin of human beings. So no angel in heaven could pay that price. It had to be someone whose life was absolutely sinless and free from sin. But somebody tempted and tested and tried in all points like as we are to come into our state, come where we were, know, know how we were tempted and know human nature and its response to temptation. And this wonderful Son of God, before He created man, steps forward in heaven before the Trinity and is ordained the Savior of the world. If this man should sin, He says, Father, you give me a body. Just give me a body and I'll go down and I will assume this responsibility. Because we created them. We created them. And a father takes the responsibility of his children, doesn't he? A good father does that. And our good father, our heavenly father, takes the responsibility for his children. For his children. And bearing that responsibility, Jesus says, I'll go down, I'll go down, and I'll give myself to obey you perfectly. Perfectly. That's exactly what it took. Perfect obedience, absolute sinlessness. A Lamb of God without sin, without spot on the outside or without blemish on the inside. And in the Old Testament, the emblem of this is the burnt offering. And in that burnt offering, the priest would take the lamb and would slay that lamb, cut the head, and he opened up the head and he cut the arms or the legs of that little lamb and opened up every sinew and tissue and the bones. Took the body and opened up. It says even the inward parts were laid open wide. And that little lamb was examined in every way that it was a lamb without spot and without blemish before it could be offered in the Old Testament sacrifice. Now that's what was done to Jesus. This is what is happening to him. All God's judgments, the word says, is passed on him, is laid on him. And he's hanging out there between three worlds, heaven and earth and hell. And all that earth could say was, I find no fault in this man. Heaven can find no fault in this man. All hell can be hell-rageous, hell-rageous. Jesus had told them before he went up there, he says, the Son of Man will go up to Jerusalem, we're on our way going up there now, and shall be delivered to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify him. But immediately before the verse ends, he says, but on the third day he'll rise again. Hallelujah! Because he knew he had come to be the Lamb of God without sin, without spot on the outside, and without blemish on the inside. And hell, hell, if it had anything to say against him, it mocked him. But that's no condemnation. It scourged him, but that's not bringing anything against him. They crucified him, but that's not bringing anything against him. They couldn't bring anything against him. All he ever did was help the people. All he ever did was heal the sick, minister to them. All he ever did was raise the dead. All he ever did was bring peace and bring comfort everywhere he went and everybody he touched. And no matter what anybody said against anybody else, Jesus always took the sinner's place. He says, I'll forgive you, just go and sin no more. Go and sin no more. And when this one would bring yackety-yack against that one, all right, let him that is without sin cast the first stone. Oh, I love it, don't you? Don't you? Yeah! Let him that's without sin cast the first stone. Let's not condemn others until we're perfect. Phew! What do you say? What do you say? Let's not judge others until we're perfect and we can stand up tall. Because every one of us know ourselves. We know who we are. We know more about ourselves than anybody else. Yackety-yack, yackety-yack. Let him that is without sin cast the first stone. And then when hell had done its worst, Jesus just looked out over that crowd and said, Father, Father, come on, give them. They know not what they do. That's the heart of divine love. That's the sinless one. You know, if on the cross, while he was hanging on the cross, if Jesus would have had one wrong thought against that crowd, he could not have finished the atonement. God's demands. God demanded perfection. God demanded the sacrifice without spot and without blemish. He demanded perfection in the one who made this atonement. If Jesus had had one wrong thought against those who were crucifying him and slaying him, it would all have been annulled right then and there. Wonderful, holy, pure, perfect Lamb of God, all that went out of his heart for those who crucified him and wounded him and put the spear in him and nailed him and held him there, all that our precious Lord suffered, all that he suffered, all of that, all that he said, Father, forgive them. They know not what they do. Isn't he wonderful? Oh, he is so wonderful. And he paid that price. He paid, paid the full price. This is God hanging out there on that tree. This is God, God, our Father, taking the responsibility for his children, making a way for us, making a way, making a way out of sin, out of our bondage, out of sickness, out of death, out of disease, out of everything that sin has done to us. Jesus came to make a way out for us, honey, a way out, a way out of what you're wrapped up in and what you find yourself in bondage to and what's going on inside of you. Jesus came to make it possible for us to get out of this thing, to be freed from it, to be delivered from it. He came to make a way out of it. Now, upon the Mount of Transfiguration, when Moses and Elijah came up there and Jesus and Moses and Elijah talked together, that was the third time Jesus said before three worlds, I'm going to Calvary, I'm going to Jerusalem, I'm going to pay this price, I'm going to rule with them, I'm going to rule with them. And it says in the Greek that Moses and Elijah and Jesus talked about the exodus that Jesus would accomplish at Jerusalem. I just, I love what this means, exodus. You think of the exodus, we think of the exodus of the children of Israel coming out of Egypt, and that's what exodus means. Exodus means a way out, doesn't it? They got out of there, the children of Israel came out of Egypt, they got out of there and left Egypt behind. Now, this is what exodus means. Jesus talked with Elijah and Moses about the exodus that he was going to accomplish for us. The way out of here, the way out of what sin has done to us. Sin, the penalty for sin is death. Somebody had to die. And Jesus took that penalty. And the word says he died, doesn't it? He died. Say yes. You believe he died? You sure of it? And it says he was buried. You believe he was buried? You don't believe the disciples stole him away? Crazy thought, isn't it? How could that be? How could the disciples steal him away? Because right away Pilate said, Pilate believed in the resurrection more than the disciples did. Did you know that? You didn't know that, but you did. Pilate believed that this man was going to raise again. The disciples didn't believe it. The disciples saw him on the cross. And when they saw Jesus die on that cross, they went into... Today, they'd say they went into a depression. They went into a depression. They saw Jesus dead on the cross. And oh, they were so disappointed because they were looking for a kingdom, you know. You see, when people put their own interpretation on things that are said, they're sure to get in trouble. And so these disciples... Jesus would try to tell them the truth, but they wanted what they wanted. And they were putting their own interpretation on everything he said. Every time Jesus would say that he was going to have a kingdom and talk about his kingdom, they said, did you hear what he said? He's going to have a kingdom. And then the mother, this politician, came along who had two sons, and she wanted one to sit on the right hand and the other on the left hand. And so she got busy and came to Jesus. Now, when you come into your kingdom, that wasn't what he was talking about. He says, my kingdom cometh not with observation. My kingdom is not from this world. My kingdom is right inside of you. But they didn't hear that. They said, oh no, no, no, no. Oh no, hallelujah, there's going to be, he's going to be a kingdom. And he's going to sit on the throne. And we're going to have horses and bugles and tanks and fireworks and atoms, split the atom. And we're going to handle Rome. And we're going to handle Egypt. And what is the kind of war they talk about? No, no, no. Nuclear, yes. We're going to have a nuclear war. And we're going to take our land back from Rome and take our land back from Egypt and get back everything our enemies have done to us. This Jesus has power. He heals the sick. He raises the dead. He casts out devil. He's got power. I tell you, this is the real Messiah. And we're going to sit on the throne with him, one on the right and one on the left. And Jesus wasn't talking about any of that. He wasn't interested. He didn't come for that. He wasn't here for that. But you see, if you want what you want and going to have what you're going to have and push for this and press for this and this is what I want and this is the man I want and this is the way I want it and I'm going to push this through and push this through and push this through. Honey, you can really get yourself into trouble. Real big trouble. Big trouble. Hear what he says. Accept what he says. Believe his word. What he says. Surrender to his will. Amen? Yeah. That song our little sister sang, Whatever it takes to break my will and help me to surrender to your will, thy will, thy will be done. And so these disciples went into an awful depression. Really they did. Because it didn't turn out the way they thought. And there their Messiah was dead and was hanging up there on the cross. And Pilate believed things could happen to this man. Pilate remembered that he had made the dumb to speak. And Pilate is saying, You go out to that tomb and put a seal over it. You go out to that tomb and set a watch. Set a watch. Put a guard out there. Three days and three nights. Seal that tomb. Set a watch. Set a guard. Because you know he raised the dead. How do we know but what? He'll come out of that grave. He opened the eyes of the blind. How do we know but what? His eyes will open. He unstopped the ears of the deaf. How do we know? He's got this kind of power. His ears will be open. He'll hear a voice that will bring him out of that grave. You go out there and do everything you can. Do you know what they did? One hundred and twenty Roman armed soldiers guarded the tomb of one dead man. One hundred and twenty fully armed Roman soldiers guarded the tomb of one dead man. You count the watches through three days and three nights and what a watch and a guard is, it amounts to a hundred and twenty Roman soldiers guarding the tomb of one dead man. And he slipped out of that tomb and came out of there and one hundred and twenty guards standing around and then they go and tell this story that the disciples came and stole him away. What kind of guards would let the disciples come and steal away? Weren't they efficient? Weren't they efficient? What a tale they told. But Jesus, Jesus, we sing up from the grave he rose. He tore the bars away. No he didn't honey, he didn't do that. He didn't do that. Change that line. God tore the bars away. God raised him up from the dead. God did this. The whole thing is God's doing. God came down because Jesus had made a perfect atonement. God came down and raised him from the dead and three worlds couldn't bring accusation against him. From the time he rose then you know there's forty days before he ascends up to heaven and he just comes and goes and comes and goes waiting for heaven to examine that sacred precious holy blood. Waiting for the devil to bring accusation against him if he has any. Waiting for earth to give one single reason why he couldn't go back to heaven and take up this high priestly ministry for us. And after forty days heaven, earth, or hell brought no accusation against him. And so he could go back to the father and be received. Be received in the presence of the father. And give to us this glorious message of what this resurrection means to us. What it means to us. I think the most beautiful scene and the truth of the resurrection is given to us what it means to us personally. I want us personally to enter into the power of it. What it means to us personally. I see it in the eleventh chapter of John when Jesus is at the tomb of Lazarus and Mary and Martha are in trouble because their brother is dead. They think they're in trouble. There's big trouble in Bethany because Lazarus has died. And Jesus isn't there. And this is God's doing too. Don't you like to let God be God? Well, six of you do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all six of you who like to let God be God and let God do what he wants to do. His plan is perfect. Do you believe that? All right. Thank you so much. His doing is perfect. Do you believe that? Do you believe God's will for us is best? Yes? Well, then let us not try to control God but let God be God and let him do things his beautiful way. And if we do that, we can go on. All he wants us to do is just love him and worship him and adore him and let him be God. And honey, he'll take over your life. He'll take over your household. He'll take over your marriage. He'll take over your children. He'll take over your business. He'll take over your church, you pastors. He'll take over your interests. He'll take over everything that concerns you. And he will get glory out of it. Now, here's Mary and Martha and their brother Lazarus is dead and Jesus is not there. Well, shall we chide him for that and say that he should have been there? He should have been there. How many of you have ever been, oh, I'm not going to say that, have been disappointed in God? Has God ever disappointed you? Go on, tell the crowd. Okay, you're coming alive now. He hasn't done things the way you wanted him to do. How many of you say, he didn't answer my prayers? Come on, put them up, put them up. He didn't answer my prayers. He didn't do things the way I asked him to do, even with all the demanding. Now, God, I demand. Oh, I can't stand that. I can't stand. If I would go to my father and say, I demand. I better not. Or this thing, command God. That is terrible. And in that whole context, it's a question. It doesn't give us permission to command God. It's a question. Does the poor donkey command his master? And does the clay command the potter? And can you, will you command God? The whole thing is a question. We don't command God, we worship God. We adore God. Now, it's a different thing entirely if you're coming against the devil and against the powers of the enemy. That's a different thing entirely. But we worship God and adore him. Say amen. Yes, and yield to his will and want his will. Yes. But I meet so many people. The statement I wasn't going to make a while ago. Just recently, a woman came to me and she says, I am so angry with God. I'm so angry. She came into my living room for counseling. First thing that she says, Sister Hammond, were you ever mad at God? Life like that. We don't talk like that about our heavenly Father. We worship and adore him. We don't get mad at God. Dogs get mad, not people. Say amen. That's right. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Yes. We worship and adore our God. Yield, yield to his holy will. Jesus, Jesus, if you had been here, my brother had not died. You have to understand, Martha, Martha is not angry. It's not angry. There's such love in this household. Jesus loved to be there. Would that every home was a Bethany where Jesus loved to come, where his heart could find fellowship. It was this home he wanted to go to. This is the place he wanted to go on that night before he went up to Jerusalem for the last time. He wanted to be with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. There was no wrangling in that house. There was no contention. There was no arguing. Here was perfect love. His spirit could live in an atmosphere of love, love. Well, Jesus, if only you had been here, if you had been here, I know Lazarus wouldn't have died. It's that kind of a spirit. I wish you were here. We just love you so much, and we just wanted you. Oh, we just hoped you had been here. You were here. We just wanted you. If you'd been here, this wouldn't have happened, would it, Jesus? It's that kind of a spirit that they're talking in. No, Jesus says, it was for the glory of God that I wasn't here. Then, I love this. This sickness is not unto death. What does that mean? Oh, honey, do you mind if I jump? What does that mean? This sickness is not unto death. He really says, death is not the last word in this matter. Jesus, how can you say that? Lazarus is dead, and he has been dead for four days. How can you say that? And then, he stands forth and who he really is, and he says, because I am the resurrection and the life. I am the resurrection. Not only the resurrection, but I am the life that causes the resurrection. I'm the power that makes the resurrection possible. I'm the life that comes through in the resurrection. I am, and when he says that, I am, the I am is always present. He's always present. How do we know Jesus is risen from the dead? How do we know it? Because his presence is here with us this morning. Amen? His presence is right here with us this morning. Honey, do you know you have this resurrection and this life right inside of you? Do you know that? Oh, if you don't get louder and better than that, I'll die. I'll die. Is Jesus in you? Now, that sounds like you're alive out there. Does Jesus Christ live in you? Yes, this Christ inside of you is the Christ who says, I am. I am the resurrection and the life. Honey, that resurrection and life is what was manifesting you in the change that took place in your life over a split second when you were born again. You were resurrected in a moment. You came out of the tomb of sin, didn't you? Yell it. Yes, you came out of the tomb of sin. Five minutes before that, you were a sinner. You were a damned, doomed sinner. You had murder in your heart. You had hatred in your heart. You had an unforgiving spirit. You loved the world. You loved sin. You loved your cigarettes. You loved your booze. You loved sin. You loved it. You were full of it. Five minutes ago, one touch from Jesus Christ and in a split second, you are risen from the dead. Yes. Yes. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. In a split second, you are another person. You're another person. You're a new person. You're a different person. You can... What is this that happened to me? What has happened to me? What has happened to me? Here, this is the message sold out there on the Damascus road. Full of murder. Full of hatred. Full of greed. Against them of this way and against Jesus Christ. Five minutes later, Paul says, Jesus, Lord, what will you have me to do? And all the rest of his life, Paul is saying, what is this that's got a hold on me? Something's got a hold on me. Something has happened in me. He is a resurrected, risen man. The I am stands up inside of him. The I am stands up inside of you. Death is dealt a blow. You are delivered from the law of sin and death. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And it's hallelujah. You're delivered from the law of sin and death. And Jesus stands in front of you and he says, even though you die, excuse me, even though you die, just, just don't, don't sit near me when I'm preaching. Give me the whole prophet. Even though you die, he says, yet you'll be alive. You'll live. You'll live. You will never die. You will never die because I have dealt with that law of sin and death. And I dealt it a death blow. A death blow. And it'll never live again. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It'll never live again. And you don't have to be afraid. You don't have to be afraid of death, hell, or the grave. Amen? Amen. I am the resurrection and the life. And this resurrection, he, he who is the resurrection, he who is the life, is the one who lives inside of you. You who want healing, my dear, you have the healer inside of you. This is the best message, the greatest message that I know on divine healing. You have the healer right inside of you. Yeah. Let this aid man, let this aid man stand up inside of you. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let him fill your head. Let him fill that heart. I do that all the time. Folks say to me, oh, they all want to know my age. I don't know. I don't, I don't fool with that business. I say, that's down here, the ageless one lives inside of me. Amen. So just let that ageless one who is the eternal life, let him keep your heart. Let him go through that heart. Let him go through that heart. Amen. Let him go through that heart. Oh, you're in that heart, Jesus. You're the healer. Let him go through those blood vessels and blood veins. Let him go through all the tissues and the tendons. Let him just chase all that sickness and just wash it out with the power of that wonderful blood in which there is no sin, in which there is no death. Amen. There's no death in it. It is the eternal life and it is shared for you. It is given for you. It flows down for you and not one drop of it was ever wasted. Every drop was gathered up and taken and put on the mercy seat and it is speaking there right now for you. And there is life. There is hell. There's deliverance. There's victory for you through the blood, that powerful blood of the eternal life. Amen. He said, I was dead to John. He said, I was dead, but behold, here I am. I'm alive forevermore. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And he said, I have the keys of hell and death. He went to hell, you know, and dealt with that old devil, took the keys of hell and death with him and smiled at him. I can shut, no man can open. I can open and no man can shut. And this means that he has the power and the authority over all death and sickness and hell and disease and darkness and bondage and that too. Hallelujah. And he rose out of it in such, I love to say this, that he rose out of it so clean. Hell hadn't touched him. Hell hadn't hurt him. His spirit was so pure when he came out of there. His pure bliss. As when he left his mother's womb, the pure, perfect Lamb of God. He was so clean. Had never hurt him or touched him. He never said anything about it. He was so clean and pure of it, it was like he didn't even remember it. It was just like he didn't even remember all that awful thing that happened. That's the conqueror that he is. That's the victor that he is. That's what he did for us. That's what his resurrection brings for us. Where is Jesus, honey? Oh, thank you. I love you for saying that. I was scared to death you were going to say, up in heaven. No, he's inside of you. I want you to know him. Let him live in you. Let him vibrate in you. Amen. Let him love through you. Let him live through you. Let him express his resurrection through you. Eat him. Drink him. Just recognize that you aren't you anymore. Did you know that? Eh? Did you know that you aren't you anymore? Christ liveth in me, says Paul. Christ. Say it, everybody. Christ liveth in me. Well, that sounded good. Say it again. Christ liveth in me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Stand up. Stand up, everybody. Now, I want you to just turn inward and not stray off up into heaven. That's the reason it takes people so long to get anything from God. I ask them, where is Jesus, honey? He's up in heaven. I say, well, that's the reason you're not getting your prayers answered. It's taking so long. Get down here. People want the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Where is Jesus? He's up in heaven. Yeah, and you've got to wait until he gets down here. That's the reason you've been trying to get the baptism for seven years. Haven't got it yet. Where is Jesus? In me. All right, now you commune with him inside you. Go on.
