In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of living a useful and productive life according to God's great purpose. He encourages the audience to be like a farm with streams of living water, symbolizing abundance and blessings. The preacher also highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in filling and transforming our lives. He urges believers to be a reflection of Christ in every aspect of their lives, whether at home, school, or work. The sermon concludes with a reminder of the gospel message and the invitation to place faith in Jesus Christ for eternal life.

We're going to read again Psalm 84. I think we'll do it by this time, don't you? Hey, how amiable are thy fabernacles, O Lord of hosts! Mine so long-est, yea, even fainter for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh cries out to the living God. Yea, the sparrow has found a house, and has swallowed a nest for herself, where she merely hath gone, even thine altar, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blanted are they that dwell in my house, they will be still praised indeed. Blanted is the man that strengthens indeed, in his heart on the way to them, who, passing through the valley of Bacchus, made it a well, but ain't all so full as the pool. They go from strength to strength, every one of them in time appears before God. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer, give ear, O God of Jacob. Behold, O God, our shield, and look upon the faintest unanointed, for again my cause is written upon. I have rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than as well in the tent of wickedness. For the Lord God is a solemn shield. The Lord will give grace and glory. No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, bless the man that prospers indeed. Now, the Lord without his blessing is a public reading of his word, please your hearts and minds. And now, we want to encircle thoughts around one or two scriptures here. It might be a real help to us in a practical way in our everyday living. We'll be looking these past days at God's prescription for real true lasting happiness. We notice the prescription, and the ingredients in this prescription, though you were not with us all morning, I want just to go back over them here we are. In verse number one, you have the recognition of God in the light. In verse number two, you have the desire for God, and in verse number six, you have working with God. In verse number eight, speaking to God, and then in verse number 12, trusting in God. Now, that is the prescription, and these are the ingredients. We were looking at one ingredient Sunday morning, and in Sunday evening. We'll take another look at it tonight, the recognition of God in the light. In verse number one, we'll recognize him as the God of power, the God of power. In verse number three, the God of provision. Also, in verse number three, the God of preeminence. He is my King and my God. Then, in verse number eight, the God of purpose. God's great purpose in saving our souls. Then, verse number 11, the God of protection. Even if we want to go on with the last half of the morning evening, in connection with the God of preeminence. I thank God for the exercise in many of your hearts as a result of the Lord's Day meetings, and for those who are concerned about the secret of that victorious living as a result of being utterly beautiful and controlled by the Holy Spirit himself. Now, remember, friends, that the only way we can really know real joy, real peace, real victory, real purity in our hearts and in our lives is by allowing the Holy Spirit to entwine us to infill and to control and to dominate every part of our lives. Now, his great mission in enthralling us is that he will not speak of himself, but his come to manifest and to magnify the Lord Jesus in us and through us to the glory of God the Father. Remember how the Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4 verse number 11 that the life force of Jesus might be made manifest in or through our mortal flesh, and that's only possible as the Holy Spirit who enthralls us is allowed to control us and to dominate us. Now, let me ask you again tenderly tonight, has there been a moment in your life as a Christian when you've got away by yourself and said, Lord I know that my body is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit who is in me? Now, has that truth dawned upon you? Not really as a doctrine, not really as a text of scripture, but as a living, vital reality that in your heart and in my heart we really know that the Holy Spirit has taken us into God, that his spirit witnesses with our spirit that we are the children of God. So, the Bible is crystal clear and says, if you have not the Spirit of Christ, you're not of his. Now, the Bible says the Holy Spirit came into our lives that very moment we were born again. When my earl I ventured on Christ a calling glance, the Holy Spirit entered and I was born again. And now, here's a great job I want to think through. Remember in John chapter 7 we read, Lord Jesus is secretly saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. Then he goes on to say that he that drinketh the water of which I shall give him, shall have in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Now, I'm quoting John 4 verse 14, but now I'm going back to John 7 verse 38. This is what we read, but he in this state, he of the Spirit. For the Spirit has not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Because Jesus was not yet glorified, and he also said in the very same scripture, that from your inner man and from my inner man shall flow forth rivers of living water. Your life and my life will prove to be a broad outshining of the angelic Christ. May his beauty rest upon me, that I seek for us to win, and may they forget the channel seeing only him. Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord, oh to be lost in thee, oh to be no more I, but Christ who lives in me. May I repeat that again, this state, he of the Spirit. For the Spirit has not yet been given, why? Because Christ was not yet glorified. May I say this very tenderly, there are many of God's beloved people who are to be saved, to be born again by God's Spirit, but they don't know the joy of this wonderful fullness. They don't know the joy of the abundant life, simply because the Spirit who instilled us has not been enlarged in Christ, Lord of all. Remember the practical illustration we gave on Sunday evening regarding the coronation of the Queen, and how the Archbishop said to the peers as he presented Elizabeth to them, gentlemen, I present you Her Royal Highness Elizabeth. Are you now ready to say a homage? And with one voice and one heart we said, we are now ready, Crown Queen. And many of us along the evening were faced up with the very same challenge, as Christ was presented to her heart in the energy of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit through the servant was saying, Are you now willing to enthrone him, Lord of all? And what was your answer, Lord, this evening? We could not stay neutral at this particular point, and we said, Lord, I am willing to crown him Lord of all, and let the Holy Spirit take over, and he does the enthroning according to 1 Peter 3, verse number 15, where it says, that Christ will be sanctified as Lord, well in our hearts, by whom? By the Holy Spirit. Now, that is what he wants to do in your life and in my life. He wants that Christ might be enthroned Lord of all. So, he has come just now, and rather for us, but we never can prove the delight of his love until all on the altar we lay, for the feverish shows and the joy he bestows are for those who will trust and obey. And therein lies the whole secret, my brother and my sister, if you want to know God's plan, God's purpose for your life, then it is everything upon the altar, without reserve, without condition, and that being so, then we shall know what is good, and perfect, and acceptable will. Let's come a little closer now, but that's not before our hearts. But before I leave it, may I ask you again, have you come to that place in your life when you have enthroned the Lord Jesus as Lord in your heart? And have you really prayed, reign over me, Lord Jesus, reign over all within. Make me a loyal subject to thee in every day. In full and grand surrender, I give myself to thee. For thou in that appointment didst give thyself to me. I own no other master. My heart shall be thine throne. My life I give in full to thee, O Christ, for the unknown. In the life of each believer, there is a throne and there is a cross. If Christ is upon the cross, and self is upon the throne, there is no real peace, there is no real joy, there's no real victory, there is no real truth. But when it takes the other turn, and Christ is upon the throne, and self is upon the cross, then there's an inward tranquility, there's an inward serenity, there's an inward joy, there's an inward peace the world cannot give nor take away. But, O beloved, recognizing the truth of that fact, your life will then be fruitful. You shall enter into the joy of the abundant life through faith in Christ. May I give you an illustration? Alas, it is borrowed. In fact, Mr. Harold Wabash, when we sometimes minister together, he uses the illustration. I want to quote it. Here it is. Sitting on the top of a mountain is a little piece of thunder, and the thunder says to the mountain, I am greater than you are. The mountain said, greater than I am? Hard to make that out. But a little piece of thunder is perfectly correct. Whereas the mountain's door lies a curb, a little piece of thunder is God's grace to the life. So you're going around the festival area, looking over into the meadow, you see there a majestic oak, and sitting right on the top of that oak is a little ladybug. I call them ladybugs, and you call them ladybugs, don't you? So there they are, sitting on the top of the earth, and all of a sudden a ladybug said, I'm greater than you are. The earth is greater than I am. God will see my wonderful, powerful plants, and all the wonderful timber, and all the beautiful leaves. The little ladybug is perfectly correct, you know. Whereas the earth has only God's grace to the life, the little ladybug has organic life. But you couldn't do. You can go. I don't mind going to the zoo. I'm terrified they'll keep me. But you can go. The darling one was taking me to the zoo yesterday morning, after a moment of the ocean's day. I said, I don't want to be kept there, but you're all right, you see. So you go to the zoo. I'm going into the zoo by the little garden gate. I can see the little garden, and all of a sudden you see a great big Jumbo. And Jumbo said, you're going up in Jumbo's back, and that little boy is 80 months, two years, probably two and a half years old, and all of a sudden Jumbo said, Jumbo, Jumbo, I'm greater than you are. Jumbo's is greater than I am. God will see my great powerful body, my four powerful legs, and I'm going to trumpet upon them with jealousy and horror. And you see a big face line. But you know, Jumbo's perfectly correct. I mean, this boy's perfectly correct, you know. But it's Jumbo. He's only got animal life. Little boy has got human life, animal life, more greater than we believe, of course. But then a boy, an 18-year-old, who's been working for a professor, in fact he's still working for a professor, but on a Sunday evening he launched a gospel meeting. He told a clear simple statement of the gospel, that Christ died for our sins according to scripture. He was buried on the third day. He rose again from the dead among the dead, and half-blazing of trust in that living person, none of the king devils was alive for evermore, and blazing of confidence and trust in him, and receiving him by his angel heart who had his eternal life, will be saved. And thank God that boy believed that testimony. The exorcise stays in Jesus Christ, and it is gloriously conferred. The next morning, going into the land, there he finds the professor very busy with some research. They go in somewhat timidly, saying to him, Professor, yes, Professor, I'm greater than you are. The professor stops what he's doing, his little statement stops, he's in doubt. Greater than I am, greater than I who I am, is yes, I am in who you are, all right, Professor, but still I'm greater than you are. Well, how do you make that up? Well, last night I went to launch a gospel meeting. I visited the head of the gospel party, and I believed him, and I received Christ my Lord and Savior. And sir, I'm not only got human life, but I got both human life and spiritual life. Sir, I'm alive from above. Sir, I've been born again by God's Spirit. Sir, and sir, you've only got human life, but I got both human life and spiritual life. Now, the boy is perfectly correct. So, now, I'm coming right into this group tonight here. There are not too many of us here, but I'm going to bring it right down here. Now, I'm speaking tonight with all professors, that is, with all saints of Christ and Lord Jesus, that is, with all seed and with our own Lord and Savior, should it be one here who is praying, who is loving, who is great. Here, I tell you frankly, you've never yet stopped to live. You're just existing. And remember, when you were born to this world, we were all of us. We weren't all there when we were born. I'm saying it, we weren't all there when we were born. What would you mean? Well, man is struck out as being, made up of spirit and soul and body. And when God said to Adam, if you don't eat of the rock, God will surely die, that didn't Adam and Eve partook of that forbidden fruit, they died. Or, said someone, that's not true, for Adam lived well over 900 years, he had sons and daughters. My saints, though they did not die physically, they died spiritually. And from that love, until the last day he was born into the world, that spirit called his death, he was all gone. And that's why we must be born again. Please get with me. God just told, and also in the book of Proverbs said, the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, and when Adam sinned in that garden, that candle was snuffed out, that light was snuffed out. So, not only are we born again in the condition of spiritual death, but also in the condition of spiritual ignorance and spiritual darkness. Not only dead, but in darkness, and that's why when we're born again by God's spirit, we are quickened into light, and that spirit chamber of ours which is in darkness is illuminated by the incoming of the light of the world, and that's what happens when we're born again, that those who receive light, which is the light from above, that those who receive a spiritual life, eternal life, that spirit chamber of ours knows God now, we commune with God, we address him as our own father. Is it only all the children of God? Isn't God the father of all mankind? Certainly not. He's the creator of all mankind, it's only the fathers who believe in his son. Galatians 3.26 says, now are he the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. John 1.12, but to as many as deceived him, to them did he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name, which are born out of blood, not of the will of flesh, but of the womb of God, from the infant born of God, that means I receive his very life, I become a partaker of the divine nature, I receive his life, and that spirit chamber of mine is quickened into light, and I receive light, and so the message of God is saying, life, life, eternal life, Jesus alone is the giver, life, life, abundant life, glory to Jesus forever. When we were born into the world, you can't imagine it was not, but when we were born into the world, we had no life given to us, corresponding with the sphere in which we were coming. We were coming into a natural sphere through the natural life given to us. Say yes? Now how did we survive in the water element? Then that we'd been swimming about with little fins going, and a tail behind us, but we were not to live in the water element, we were to live in an atmosphere through the natural life given to us. So, I can see that that's quite sound logic, and I'll tell them in the new room. Heaven is a heavenly sphere, it's a spiritual sphere. Blank and blood, where men will inherit the kingdom of God, and beloved, no matter how clean, how cultured, how refined, how consecrated, that life of yours may be, I want to tell you, no matter how religious or sentimental it is, no matter how many ways you've gone through, no matter how goody-goody you may be, thy strength and length should be borne again by God's Spirit, that afterlife will never fix you for a heavenly sphere. It's a spiritual sphere, it's a heavenly sphere, but the moment you receive Christ and you're born from above, that's the term, you're born from above, that moment you receive Christ, it's not a case of becoming a religious, but it is of obeying some commandments, of receiving some creed, and that creed of receiving a person, and that person is Jesus Christ. May I help you? And the moment you receive the Lord Jesus, as the Old Testament says, this is 1 John 5, verse 11, here it has to stand half-life. Here it has not to stand half-life. So, it's not a case of merely believing about Christ, that will never be right. We must believe into Him and receive Him by faith into our heart, and the moment we receive Him, that moment we receive life. I was in Brigham Young recently, down in Winnipeg State, and after meeting a young woman who had been brought up in a Christian home, who's part of, is a businessman, but a very full-time teacher. He's very excellent in the Lord's work, and this girl is a Sunday school teacher, she's a counselor at the camp, she'd gone to her name's Bible school, but last Thursday night, down at Riverside, that girl found out she had never been saved at her. She found out she had never been saved at her. She knew the feeling, she knew the taste of Scripture, she knew the phraseology, and everything she'd passed had been in a really good bond with before everyone else, and in her own head, had seen how everybody thought she was a Christian, that night, saying, listen, listen, God's picture of her near, God's picture of her near perfection, and she came out to recognize she was trying to live her life, she had never survived, she had never survived. There she goes, had gone out for meetings, and tried to dedicate herself to Christ, tried to dedicate herself to Jesus, and nothing happened, it didn't fit, it didn't work. Two months after, probably after that camp meeting, probably after two weeks, everything was wonderful, you know, everything was wonderful, but oh, it just didn't fit again, didn't work. Two months later as well, in that inquiry room, she had been dealt with by a young school teacher, somewhat older than herself, and the two of them were actually in tears. We went into that inquiry room, she began to tell us the story, I know the girl very well, you know, and I greatly loved her, and I would really die for her, and that would never be fair, because of her honesty and absolute sincerity. As a teenager, she actually hated them, I mean that, she hated them, because she tried to lead them away from the name of Christ Jesus, and she tried, she rebelled, and she started all of us with a sort of rebellion. She rebelled against the Bible reading at the table, when the family gathered together, when she saw her sister, her younger sister, reading the Bible, reading the Bible, having a bad time, just sitting, trying to make a fool of me, that's all she did, trying to shred me, tear me, that's all, and all this was going on in her heart, as she rebelled, she was trying to survive herself alive, what the hell, what the hell is she yelling at, what is she yelling at, what do you got to yell about? It was all this rebellion in her heart, rebellion in her heart, and she got on, and she let not the spirit guide me to follow the pattern, and she said, Uncle Jim, Uncle Jim, is it possible I'm not saved at all? Is it possible I'm not saved at all? I said, that's what I didn't imagine, you've never been saved at all, and you're trying to dedicate Christ to Christ, and he's been all the way to come before me, I will destroy. He's got to dedicate a new life in his own hands. He's getting down on his knees, that guilty, righteous group of Jesus Christ, to receive him as our Lord and Savior. I said that this last Thursday night, that was the Thursday before, last week, God and God and God, the very same thing happened, the very same thing happened, and I'm saying, time after time, I am coming across all these young people, all the people, who are finding out the moment of the propension, that no text is scripted, but there's no there's no title, no teaching of a part in Christ, and they don't know Christ, they don't know him, they know about him, but they don't know him, and there's no life. My brother, my sister, may you search your heart, not in the presence of God, you can't live a victorious, happy, joyful, Christian life, a peaceful life, a great Christian life, and you've got that life to start with, and you're really born again. A lot of people come out, I thought it was a big sort of backslider, and they come out contending, all the banks are submissively, and they get down and down, saying, God, God has given us a spirit that's able to diagnose a case, and to discern a case, and we know when a person is really a true believer, there's deathly bankruptcy, but at least we know those who have just confessed, they've never stood forward at all. They've never stood forward, they've never really been born again at all, and they've come to find that their spirit is poor, it's not restoration, it needs life, it needs life to be born again, and thank God for those who are coming around. I live in Coruscant, I live in Coruscant with my friend, this is quite some time ago, I've been in Coruscant for years, I've been a preacher, preaching the gospel for years, brought up in a Christian home, we all are soft-faced, we all are crazy, all are jinxed, you use a little boy to tell people the gospel? You don't sound like that, you don't sound like that. So, this particular Saturday night, we're seeing the valley of dry bones, there's a rally for Christians. Both inquiries were tested, tested, as men and women were beating their hearts about Christians getting right with God. Christians getting right with God, they see that spirit fast. The Bible doesn't start with a man gathering souls, that's the outcome of the Bible, the Bible starts with you, the Bible starts with me. So, they want to see a mighty movement for the God like we in the Bay Area. I didn't expect it to start in a field, it must start in your heart, it must start in my heart. They come and say, oh, that's an almighty Bible, you start that revival in me. That night that Coruscant came forward, you see a growing guy in stains, he says, Jim, Jim, when I feel for you, you come to town. Says, what is it? He said, I know in my own heart, I know in my own heart I've never been born again, but because my father and all the others, all Christians and all outstanding preachers, I didn't want anyone to know that was a fear in my soul. He said, I can't go on like this, I can't go on like this. And he said, Jim, I must be born again. And that man, my friend, I got down to his heart and it came right through for Jesus Christ, his glory to come for me, that this is Saturday, I baptize him again with the blood of others on the Monday night, and that he was baptized in the service that man had given the ministry. I've given the ministry, here we go, the theological way that Christ was my living repartee in his heart. Knowing you, the coming again of the Lord Jesus, are you really saved? Are you really born again? But I've been just got stopped three days. I know it's your job, you sit down, I know it's your job, you sit down, you almost own it, I know you almost got a knife, jump, own it, jump, I believe all this, and you can believe all these and then go to hell. And yet go to hell. My friend, believing that such a truth will never save your soul. You must place your faith in a person, that person is Jesus Christ, and you must receive that person by faith into your heart. And when you receive him, you receive life. Not life is going to manifest itself, but life will manifest itself. And you tell me you're born again, Christian, your life may be changed or transformed, but coming radically wrong, you put faith in Jesus Christ. Radically wrong. But tonight, many of us here, I trust all of us who say, I know what he's saying perfectly true, because thank God I know I'm born again. Thank God I know I've passed from death unto life. Thank God I know I've come from darkness into light. And I know Christ by living these energies in my heart, and in my mind, within my mind, living those things. And can you simply see no longer I, but Christ that lives in me. Earth, heaven, sky, deep in this, that Christ lives where? In heaven? Christ lives in me. He sometimes sings, he walks with me, he talks with me, a long night's not away. You ask me how I know he lives? He lives within my heart. No one my love is involved. Then he does come into my heart, and you receive him. Then you prepare to become the son of God. And what God has to know, you're a son, you're a child of God, and if God's not yet assured what we shall be, then we know that when he shall see what we shall be, my sins shall be completed at the age. Now, let me ask you, I come back to this little illustration I was giving you. It's possible that in this grand group tonight, that someone may go to another and say they will never do so because they're proof of his truth. Go out and say I am greater than you are. It's possible. I know you will never do a thing like that, but I'm getting this. Christ said I am come that ye might have life, and that ye might have it more abundantly. I believe every born-again Christian has life, and every born-again Christian is not in the enjoyment of the abundance of life. You know why? Because Christ is not law. Christ is not law. The moment we receive Christ, that moment we receive life. The moment we allow the Holy Spirit to inform Christ, Lord of all, that moment we enter into the joy of the abundance life. And that's where this grace and I started to tell you all. I also had a vision of how these guys got lost. I looked up and saw the look of Dave and that old little boy, some tiny girl. His brother, he got upstairs to bed and got in the bed in there, and his mother went out with a tucking rod to tuck him well into the night, and she said him good night before she went through to her own room. He was just sick when she was doing this, by the way. This night she went up to do so. When she got up there, lo and behold, she found herself asleep on the floor. On the floor. So she picked him up, brought him to the bed, and tucked him in there the next morning. George, when I came upstairs last night to teach you good night and tuck you in, I found myself asleep on the floor. How did you get there? Why did you come in? Why must you come and teach me the things I've got in? I've heard all the questions like that. Now all my mother has gone to sleep. They've gone to sleep. They've got life right now, but it's not life in abundance. It's not life in abundance. They've given Christ a praise, but they've never given him a preamble to it. They've given him a praise. He is a prominent praise, but they haven't given him a preamble to it. He's not Lord over all. No one's ready for evermore. My brother and mine, this is the first time in your life and mine. Are you just getting in the office, or is he on the phone? If you can't draw your mind how the Holy Spirit tonight is like, you may many say, turn up and worship the Lord is God. That's a very important point. Now let me show my heart. I'm going to sit down with you to verse number eight. Verse number eight. This is now, O God, O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer, the dear O God of Jacob. We are no longer here, come in here, no longer we've got to pause and think of that. Because it does not say O God of Israel, it's O God of Jacob. Remember Jacob was the old sister, Jacob was the old supporter, Jacob could not be relied upon. He was a real, a real sinner. You know Jacob tried to see his father-in-law, he did it once, but he found his father-in-law sitting in the same time as he came. He never tried to see his in-law, it never worked. It never worked. And so he found his father-in-law, he tried, you know, to remember that wonderful picture here. Why don't you get this, that this is God's great purpose in saving your soul and mind. Please, it's not in here that God is saved from hell. Oh no, oh no. It's not a great purpose to go down to eternal burning, oh no. And God is saving your heaven. I said the other evening, that's a very negative, purely official gospel. God's great purpose in saving your soul and mind is this, is that his son who is received in your heart, that his life might be re-lived and reproduced in you and in me to the glorious God the Father. God wants the life of his son to be lived in the home, in the office, in the school, on the campus, whether as a teacher, a professor, as a student, a mother, a child, whatever the case may be, that through your life and my life there might be a reproduction of the life of Christ. Remember that beautiful little booklet. I like to put in the hands of everyone here tonight. The booklet is this, and it's written by Josh Chapman, Burn to Reproduce. Burn to Reproduce. And that's why we're born again. We'll burn to reproduce. Is your life a productive life? Is your life reproducing? Is your life re-manifesting the life of Christ? Now get this, deep down in us all. Jacob, the old sinner, the unreliable man who could not be defended upon us all. But remember there was a time he came into the blight and there was a crisis. The crisis came into the blight, and the crisis was this. A son was raised from us, Jacob, remember? And then a breaking of the day. And then remember how Jacob kept clinging on. He kept clinging. He said, I will not let you go. I will not let you go until thou slay me. And the place of clinging became the place of contention. And he complained and when he said, that was by me, he knew nothing about me now. Nobody knew him now. Nobody thought of him now. He didn't. I'm Jacob. I'm your sister. I'm your supplier. I'm the one to be defended upon. I'm Jacob. And then the place of contention became the place of breaking. Remember? And Jacob was broken as stone to stone. Broken as stone to stone. And that even tonight, the reason why you have never been intervened and pervasive, pervasive in Christ, and then the reason why because you're enjoying what's all yours in Christ is because you've never been broken. And God knows it's time to stand in your light tonight. And if you're willing to be broken, He's willing to break you right there. Right there. I don't know what it may be. I do not know what it may be. But coming in and keeping you from entering into pervasive, pervasive in Christ, and entering into all the forms of yours in Christ, He saved all his brothers. But Jacob was broken. And the place of breaking became the place of breaking. Isn't that wonderful? Don't you forget that outline. The place of clinging became the place of contention. The place of contention became the place of breaking. And the place of breaking became the place of breaking. And if you want God's blessing, you too must be broken. We too must be broken. And God's got His own way of doing the breaking. He really has. But my saying on it, you want God's blessing for your life is a priceless thing. A priceless thing. It means everything upon order. Someone who's never come through with the life of his life on this earth, on this earth will be laid. Are you willing for this tonight? Are you just going to go drifting through life without any aim, without any purpose, without any plan? Do you have God's blueprint for your life? Are you scared of taking a wrong turn? Are you going to go God's plan for your life? God's blueprint for your life. It's going to be a marvelous life, a controlled life, a dominated life, with all the power and energy of a man-made holy spirit. Wait a minute. What does it mean to say, Thou shalt be no more Jacob, that is you. No more the substantial, but the Prince of God. The Prince of God. You'll be a part of God, you'll be a part of man. You'll prevail with God, you'll prevail with man. And beloved, listen, only as I know the joy of that priceless character of going here and getting along with the Lord Jesus, and this is one of the first evidences that I am really in the enjoyment of this new life. I have the right to be alone with the Lord. I have the right to be in His presence. I have the right to know His will for me through His word. And the Lord of God becomes a real, willing, bountiful gift to my heart, not being me a dry dust. All in all, taking a duty and trying to drive myself away through a dirty picture. All in all, when Christ becomes Lord of the new antichrist, to the new desire, the new longing and new delight in getting along in His presence, I will know the joy of really gripping God for man, than going out and gripping man for God. I will know the joy of having victory and pride with God, than going out to gather in the forest and study early in the afternoon, trying solemnly to forget what he's done with the world, that that is a shall be no more, no more Jacob. You young Christians, come again to the example of no more of this picture, the no more of this picture. Just pray to Him, and pray to remember, when it comes to no more, there's coming far better in store. In the name of no more of Jacob, let us begin. He will. The Egyptians whom you've seen today, you'll see them again no more. Get this, the Egyptians whom you've seen today, you'll see them again no more forever. Have you gone to the cross? Have you seen the eminence stripped dead of power in that cross? He stripped in totality of them power to be no more than slaughtered and starving over in his pasture, the enemy, the old, the evil of the old lands, the world, heaven, hell, and all the peoples. Have you seen them there? Have you seen the last of them? The Egyptians whom you've seen today, you'll see again no more forever. Then you go on, no more the servant of the son, it's no more I the Christ, another God. Your sins and iniquities I will remember no more forever. There's coming no more to strip death. Come with God to the father, enter into the garden by faith, for peace that life will bring into your heart, you young Christians. Now, why don't you get this? We, Christ and Jesus of Nazareth, just before this call, we'll read again another name. The name is Jessurim. Jacob, Israel, Jessurim. Jacob was a prophet. I never said sorry, it came to me as a very strange thing by the way. James and Jacob, that's a plan in the Old Testament. There it is, Penelope and Jacob, the Old Testament, here now, no more Jesus. My request is to get into a close enough. There must come a crisis in you now, and in my life, and we're going to go on with God. Are you going to be the man God wants you to be, or the woman God wants you to be? This crisis must come, and it will become no more I the Christ. Our old man was, in the past tense, well crucified with Christ. For the value of sin might be discarded, henceforth it is no more self-same. Things are not as they may have always been. What a wonderful thing. But Jessurim now, do you know what Jessurim means? Do you know what it means? I wonder if I can see it properly. I'll try to, but it just means my value. Did I say it all right? My value, that's all it means. That's right, there it is. So what does value mean? You know? What does value mean? All right, do you know what value means? Very good, very good. Very good. That's what it means. It means my upright one, my soft one, my holy one. Can I give you an example? Your husband's going to work in the morning, the wife goes to a date with him, because he's advised, he doesn't support her. See, I'm talking about the good old fashioned days, you know, when the men went to work in the morning, and the wife went to a date with him, but usually the wife goes to work, and the men sit at home. It's the good old fashioned days I'm talking about, you know. And when the wife goes, I mean the man goes, the wife goes and keeps him advised, advised on him. Now, what does it mean? It just means this. He's going to go into a busy city, he's going to come in contact with all different types of people during the course of the day, but you're my soft one. I can depend upon you, I can rely upon you, and the other hand now, he's leaving it in the home. He seems to be coming in contact with all different types of people during the course of the day, but you're my soft one. I can depend upon you, I can rely upon you, you're my upright one, you're my holy one. Listen, no more daters. They couldn't be friends at all, but now they're children, but coming between is the prince of Israel, the prince of God, the Christ has taken his place. No more daters, but they're children, and what comes next? And I will tell God what found him at his first date, and there will be floods upon the dry ground. Get it? My brother, my sister, she'll have the goodness of getting like a blossom, like a rose. She wants springs of living water springing up in your soul. From his palm, she wants spiritual fields and beautiful fruits, like a treat to the glory of God. Hear this, listen. When he comes cross us, when he comes cross us, you're seeing a moment of God's cross down there being like a third part of it, like a third part of it, but when he comes cross us, then, beloved, there shall be floods upon dry ground. There shall be springs in the desert. There shall be springs of living water. There shall be fruits of the glory of God, and listen, that God's great purpose is saving your soul and mind. Got that? That God's great purpose is saving your soul and mind. You know, the Christian life is a wonderful life. It's a wonderful life. Do you know this life? A little deep down in your heart, have a Jesus picture, and stay from hell. Hallelujah! That's wonderful to say hallelujah for there, and you'll stay for the country, and God's great purpose in saving your soul is this, and the life of his son might be a real issue. Your body, my body, day by day, let me Christ come into your thoughts. Willing who you will, looking up who you are, compassion upon the multitude, Christ keeping your lips and using your lips to speak for his praise, to sing for his praise, to tell out the message of beginning and end, and Christ is very simple, it takes very lightly and down just to lift it. Christ is very, as he becomes Christ walking around these three levels, he becomes Christ in form, Christ in order, Christ keeping the truth behind us, yes, Christ keeping that title, Christ feeding that sin, Christ feeding that drug, it's Christ, early Christ. In every loop, I mean every action, it becomes Christ lurking around in three levels. What a difference that makes when you recognize that truth from the holy statement that Jesus was, not I, but Christ. I received an estate convention some time ago, please don't tell me off on that, but I received an estate convention, and sometime afterward, and during the interview, a man came walking down the aisle and he said, I'm transforming what I've never seen before, and I said, what is that? He said, I'm a secret smoker. I said, I don't know what about smoking, is it wrong? I said, I'm about to smoke in Germany, and he made it his way. I was in my ministry, a conscious ministry. He said, I know you say about smoking, but when you think about Christ being the life of your life, and Christ's life is not a single kiss, that is not for me. I could never think of his pure life being a lipid dream, and I'll never smoke again. I'll never have. That very same day, two women were sitting reading in the aisle of that church, reading their hearts out, reading each other's shoulders. Someone said, will you go cross me the psalm with these women? Now, I am very careful about doing that. I'm very careful. I would not do it with brethren without trying to ensure the women's problems, but two, cannot seem to be right on the line with them. Two, they strike up you, they're all around thinking they don't want you anymore. You know, what is the meaning? Well, I've been in hell for three years, and it's only been for three years. I've been struggling for over three years. I don't know how many years I've been in there. You know, but you still got the love life flowing through that heart. The love life is going to flow through that heart. You know, I don't have got to go, I think. You've got the same thing at the same time. You see, when the love life is going to flow, it's going to be fabulous. It's going to flow from all around. You're going to be in love with your heart. I'll be excited about you and I'll be right with one another. They'll never be in love with each other. They're all going to love one another. Now, I don't expect this problem to be. I don't hope, and I don't say myself enough, that to occur. How does it may be? I must tell you, I love my brethren and my family very much. It's not, will we do that tonight? And remember your favorite approach is, that service is going to be no longer all that Christ needs in you. God wants you to understand that you and I, and my life, must prove to be a brother and sister of the one and only Christ. None of them will lose sight of us all together through any pain. I didn't hear much today, and I didn't hear anything today, and I didn't hear anything earlier, but as I was looking down the street in North American apartments, I come across a lot of Christians who are suffering from a medical disease. A terrible disease. It's a diabolical disease. It's a sinister disease. You know what it's called? You listen carefully. It's called perpendicular to the personal pronoun I. Remember? That great big I. I, I, I, I, to be I for Christ. It's trying to give you a whole lot. It's trying to give you a couple of I's, and the couple of I's, and the couple of I's, and there's a whole lot that's underlying there. You know that. And I want to get, it's that great big I. I, I, I, I, I, it's my life. All I need in the whole isle is the presence of Christ. There is no longer I, but the presence of Christ. And I'm here for you. Let the deliverance by death, I am keeping time to time. Let the deliverance by beholding is no longer I, but Christ. Let the deliverance by dedication, the Son of God loved me and gave himself for me. Take the last sentence, the Son of God loved me and gave himself for me. That sentence, himself for me, himself for me, himself for me. Now read it backwards. Read it backwards, and do you believe it? It shall be me for himself. In this past that's met with loss, by a deathly act before the Lord, and it's not henceforth, by grace, it shall be me for himself. I meant to speak in verse number 11 regarding God of protection. Now to give you that entirety, will it? He is the Son and He is the Spirit. He is the Son. He is the Spirit. He is grace and He is glory. Grace is glory to God. Glory, grace in cool rain. I'd like you to think that through again for one moment, and teach me to go forward again, how that the name of the Lord is the firm power, the righteous unoffensive, unmerciful prayer, that stays in that strong power. May I help you in the blood of Christ that's changing, in the name of Christ that is complete with faith, in the name of Christ complete with faith. I meant to be in this space, but I see my time's almost gone. May I leave that with you? In the blood of Christ that's changing, in the name of Christ that's complete with faith. Forever your trial may be, forever your difficulty may be, just look up and see, in the name of Christ, how the truth will be studied. And you're afraid when you're talking, you have to be afraid, because you're suffering from an inferiority complex. And when you're getting you down, you wonder what's wrong with you, I was thankful one day to go into a hospital, a young man there, and he was suffering from a nervous disorder. He was an accountant, and he got to tell me something, and I said I didn't know any more about him, I think we need a spiritual advisor. And somehow that was sent to me, and I went down to his cellar, they heard, they said, I found he was a Christian, he was born again, and I said regarding certain things, maybe he was blind, God revealed him, but he died, he craved, he went away. And I said let it go, they told you he was going to have shock treatment. I said if you do what God will tell you, you'll never need the shock treatment, you'll be perfectly healthy, you'll be fine. Oh, he said, I'd like him half way. And he said, I'd like him half way, I know I'm not fit for this job, and I know they're going to promote it, but I'm not fit for it, I know I'm not fit for it. And they're looking. Christ is stripped from society, and he has me, and nobody saw him through the cross, but it was God. Satan is a deceitful soul. The only thing that can touch you is through your body, and when your body's tired, it's the only thing that can touch you. Let us be honest, I sat alone, and they held me, and delivered me out of all my fears. Now to get them to end that, that verse, once we've done the other verse, and then when that very thought comes into your mind, you're not looking for the door, you're looking in the name of Christ. I refuse to be a fool. When the devil comes to the top of this country, in the name of Christ, I refuse to be a fool. Remember, there was pain in the ground, but the victory in that name, that name of the Lord was a strong power, cutting my long, sorely sought, that was, that was death, and he was fine, and he was never to be found. He loved me so much, that there was victory in the name of Christ, and when the thought comes into your mind, whatever it may be, I want to tell you, you claim that victory to be the name, but in the name of Christ, I refuse to be a fool. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be a fool. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be a fool. Remember, the victory in that name is not ours, but Christ's. When you have to be a fool.
