Everything in this physical World is governed by two great Spirits. Both Spirits have extreme powers/forces and rule over the two spiritual kingdoms. The Greatest and most powerful Spirit, is the Holy Spirit, which is the ALMIGHTY CREATOR Himself. His Name is The LORD JESUS CHRIST, the Great King. The other power and kingdom, yet highly influential and dangerous, is the kingdom of Satan, the loser.
There are only two Kingdoms/Bodies. We all belong to one of those bodies. There is only two of them in the earth, always has been, and will be till Jesus comes, and one of them will be destroyed. One of them, you’ve joined; the other one, you are born in It. It’s either the Body of God, which is by the Word; or the body of Satan, by the church. And the whole world will have to belong to some church; it worships some god. You’ve got to worship either the god of knowledge, you rely upon what you hear by knowledge, you rely upon this, or that, or the other; or you rely upon God’s Word, by faith, watching for Him to vindicate It and make It true.
There is only two powers in all the Universe
The brain has two sections which symbolize good and evil. God and Satan. So humans have to choose who they will believe in.
Unfortunately, since Satan is convinced that he can manipulate human minds, which he is almost succeeding in doing, so that they will no longer believe everything that is written in the Bible. He has pledged people with severe blindness till they reject the very Word that would have saved them.
Any alternative idea will do, just as long as it is unscriptural.
For instance, Satan uses Science to convince Christians that they slowly developed from animals by evolution. But death came in because of sin. Thus sinless animals could not have died and been fossilized over millions of years before sin entered the human race.
The only power Satan has is the perverted power of God, and it is not real power; it’s a perversion of God’s power. Moreover, everything that Satan has such. death is only a perverted life. A lie is only the truth mistold. See? Adultery is a righteous act misused. Everything that Satan has got is something that was perverted, but it’s a power. Satan has perverted the Holy power of GOD.
Do you realize that there is really only two powers in all the universe? Of all of our differences between nations, and differences between each other, and everything, it all mounts up to two powers. There’s only two powers, and there’s only two kingdoms; two powers, and two kingdoms. All the rest, the little minor things, are connected with either one of those powers. And those powers is God’s power and Satan’s power. That’s what…Every war, every disorder, everything that comes along, it’s either controlled by God’s power or Satan’s power, ’cause that’s the only two powers there is. And that is the power of life and the power of death. Now, that’s the only two powers. 62-0311 - The Greatest Battle Ever Fought
A good general chooses a battlefield that suits his method and style of fighting. God is much stronger than Satan, so where can Satan hope to beat God. Satan's chosen battlefield is the mind of man. The darkest continent on planet Earth is the sinful human mind, hidden behind inscrutable human eyes. The messy human brain is the battleground between faith in the Bible and the clever wisdom of man. The mind of man is where our human spirit meets our brain cells.
All things in the natural types the spiritual, as we’re teaching. There it is, demonology, demons impersonating Christianity, yet, with the blessing
43 Now taking this subject of Demonology and speaking about demons. Now, people, when you say “demon,” right quick they begin to think, “Oh, some fanaticism or something!” But demons is just as real as Angels. They’re just as real.
44 And the devil is just as real a devil, as Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He’s a devil! Heaven is just as real. And if there is no such a thing as hell, there’s no such a thing as Heaven. And if there isn’t an Eternal blessed…Eternal punishment, rather, there’s no Eternal blessed. If there’s no day, there’s no night. See? But as sure as there’s day, there’s night. As—as sure as there’s a—sure as there’s a Christian, there’s bound to be a hypocrite.
As sure as there’s somebody that’s genuine from God, there’s somebody to impersonate that. See? It’s just exactly pro and con, black and white, right on down through life on everything, true and false everywhere. And there is a false gospel, there’s a true Gospel. There’s a true Baptism, there’s a false baptism. There’s a make-belief, and there’s a real. There’s a true American dollar, there’s a false American dollar. There’s a genuine Christian, there’s a genuine hypocrite, see, that’s just impersonating. So you find that, so it all goes together. Now, we can’t separate it. God lets the rain fall.
70 “God, in sundry times and divers manners spoke to the fathers through the prophets, in this last days through His Son, Christ Jesus.” And the Body of Christ has nine spiritual gifts operating in it. And it might be on this woman tonight, prophecy, may never be the rest of her life. It may be on this woman the next night. May be on this man the next time. May be on that one back there, the next time. That doesn’t make her a prophet, doesn’t make no one a prophet. It’s a gift of prophecy in you. 71 And before that man or that prophecy can be given to the church, it has to be judged before two or three spiritual judges. 53-0609A - Demonology, Religious Realm
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
The need for GOD'S Presence in every human heart.
There is an empty space within our minds which craves the presence of the supernatural Spirit of God. But this vacuum or emptiness in our human spirit will keep sucking in outside influences and ideas in order to try to fill it. Our thinking gets controlled and directed by desires such as an urge for drinking, smoking, swearing, drugs, and pornography. However, no matter how great successful may be, there will always be a feeling of emptinesses which leads to depression, nothing that the world offers can properly fill this emptinesses. We are nothing without GOD.
We, humans, are seldom content, and open our minds to outside influences as we seek a purpose to our lives so as to achieve some version of fulfillment. The pursuit of women, money, and fame is like chasing a mirage as there is a nagging emptiness that somehow remains that we cannot satisfy. The face we see in our mirror keeps getting older and that is a niggling reminder to us of our inevitable, unwelcome rendezvous with death. This is a topic we prefer to ignore. We head for a small gap in the earth called a grave. Meanwhile, we try to ignore the fact that our human life ends with a fatal summons to that silent shore. The emptiness within our inner souls drives us to fill our minds with noise and clutter. Being alone drives us to depression as we lack that inner peace.
The Greatest Battle Between The Kingdom Of GOD And The Kingdom Of Satan
68 When this great battle started on earth, there had to be a mutual meeting place. There had to be a place selected for the battle to begin, and for the battle to rage. And that battlegrounds begin in the human mind. There is where the battle starts. The human mind was chosen for the place of the battle, where it was begin, and that is because that decisions are made from the mind, the head. Now, they never started it from some organization. They never started it from some mechanical affair. The grounds never started there. Therefore, that organization can never, never do the work of God, because the battlegrounds, where you’ve got to meet your enemy, is in the mind. You’ve got to make your choice. It meets you.
62-0311 - The Greatest Battle Ever Fought
Self-will is the gateway to the soul. We can choose to believe the Words of Jesus or doubt Him and have unbelief in His Word. Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The human soul is what gives us the ability to believe the Word of God, the Bible. Your soul is either the source of faith or unbelief (doubt) in God's Word. You decide of your own free-will whether you will believe or not believe.
In Heaven, when Michael and His Angels fought against Lucifer and his angels
60 And so a army, first, in getting ready for a battle, first there’s got to be a select, some soldiers. They’ve got to be dressed for fighting. They’ve got to be trained for fighting. 61 And I believe that the greatest battle that was ever fought, is now ready to go in action. I believe that God has been selecting His soldiers. I believe He’s been dressing them, training them. And the battle front is now set, getting ready to start.
62 This great, first battle that was ever fought, begin in Heaven, when Michael and His Angels fought against Lucifer and his angels. It first started, the first battle was in Heaven. So, sin did not originate on earth, it originated in Heaven.
63 And then it was thrown down from Heaven, cast out of Heaven, to the earth, and fell on human beings. Then the battle, from angels, become human battles. And Satan come to destroy God’s creation, what God had created to be for Hisself. He had, Satan, come to destroy this. That’s what his purpose was, was to destroy it. Then the battle begin here on earth, and begin in us, and has been raging ever since.
64 Now, before any battle can be put in array, they first have to choose a meeting ground, or a place where the battle is to be fought, a selected place. 62-0311 - The Greatest Battle Ever Fought
THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL Defeated Satan
19 Notice, “Except a man be borned again, he can in no wise enter into the Kingdom.” That’s right. You must come. No matter how religious you are, what all you do, that has not one thing to do. That makes you a pretty good citizen, but not a citizen of that Kingdom there, maybe of this kingdom here. But the Kingdom of God is within you; you’re borned in the Kingdom. Kingdom comes in…The Kingdom of God is the Holy Spirit; you belong to that Kingdom. That’s the reason women don’t bob their hair, don’t wear shorts. That’s the reason men don’t smoke cigarettes and things like that. They’re from above, their Spirit teaches them righteousness, holiness. They don’t—they don’t swear; they—they don’t use bad language and things, why? They’re born from above. They are different. They’re from—citizens from above. 61-0217 - The Mark Of The Beast And The Seal Of God #2

324 He was Son of man, Prophet. Amen. He was Son of man, Sacrifice, Priest. He is Son of man, as King, the Son of David setting on the throne of His majesty. Son of man, He is ma-…God manifested as Son of man. He come down and become man, to take sins away from the world. He become man, as a Prophet. He become man, as a Priest. He become man, as King; King of Heaven, King of saints, the Eternal King; always was King, always will be King, Eternal King. 60-1204M - The Revelation Of Jesus Christ
193 But we got a Kingdom, and in this Kingdom it has Eternal Life. Not membership, but Eternal Life. And it is governed by an Eternal King. An Eternal Kingdom full of Eternal Life, controlled by an Eternal King, to an Eternal people that were predestinated before the foundation of the world. “For those who He foreknew, He called; and those who He called, He justified; and those who He’s justified, He has glorified,” Hebrews 11. That’s right.
194 Now, it depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re Abraham, you’re looking for that Kingdom. I can show it to you this morning. Yes, sir. Now, an Eternal Kingdom full of Eternal Life, controlled by an Eternal King by His Eternal Word, to a predestinated Eternal people. There it is. Why? It always was, always will be, never had a beginning or an end. In the mind of God it was at the very…when it was with God Eternally. And the purpose of God will be carried out.
A Kingdom! Not a politicianal system, not a political system, not a church system, not a denominational system; it all becomes Pharisees and doctors of the devil. But we receive a Kingdom, an Eternal King Who is the Eternal Word, Who has Eternal Life; by His Eternal Word to His Eternal people who has Eternal Life, and we’re partakers of this. 62-1216 - The Falling Apart Of The World
When the Great Shepherd was in the presence of the Shekinah. It changed His whole countenance. He wasn’t just part of God, He was all of God! He was Emmanuel.
Hebrews 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
176 That secret had been in God’s bosom all these years, covered by His right hand, Jesus. The Great Shepherd took upon Himself our guilt for us. Isaiah 53:6, said, “He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquity. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes we are healed.” The secret of God’s healing laid in the bosom of Jesus Christ, or God, He was on the right hand of God, that’s the only Sheep that held in His bosom the secret. That’s the reason the foreshadows of It had to always be a sheep! The first was a sheep, the last was a Sheep. That’s the reason It had to come to a shepherd, to know how to take care of his Sheep. You get It? Notice, “He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace upon Him.” 64-1221 - Why It Had To Be Shepherd
Psalms 23:1-6. 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
The Lord Jesus is my Great Shepherd. Without him, not only will I not have a life full of testimonies, but I would be dead by now. Further, the trials of this life can overwhelmingly deadly. It's easy to feel lost when you are going through endless series of loneliness, discouragements, uncertainties, hopelessness, and pain. Moreover, without this wonderful Shepherd, you can never find your way out of darkness. As for me, my LORD has always been there in season and out of season of whatever I'm going through. He has been the only one holding my hand, even when I gave up on myself, He did not let go.
505 Heavenly Father, take us now, Lord. Let the Great Shepherd, the Great Redeeming Shepherd, the Great Shepherd Who left Glory, knowing that some of the attributes was lost on them great valleys of sin, where the wolves and the—the animals would soon devour that little sheep; but He left the golden corridors, came down into the earth and was made one of us, so He could declare the love of God to us. There He found them, some of them in denominations, some of them in the house of ill fame, some of them on the streets, blind, some of them in the hedges and highway, but He redeemed every one that the Father had ordained Him to redeem.
506 And He commissioned us, that we would live this part of the Word for our ages. And we see the great reformation of Luther, in that age; and of Wesley; and the Pentecostal. Now we’re looking for the Headstone of the City. O God, we know the age and the promise that we are given for this day, how that This is to be restored again. “The evening Light shall ripen the fruit of it. And it shall come to pass that there will be a day that cannot be day or night, can be called, but in the evening time it shall be Light.” 64-0802 - The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride
The Good Shepherd
John 10:1-4 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
181 When the Great Shepherd was smitten, the Great Sheep-Prophet, when He was smitten back there, He said, “It is finished!” And that minute, as soon as this Shepherd was smitten, it was over. Sin is settled, there was no more sin. They were clean, the penalty was paid. The believers whose names were written in the Book of Life, predestinated from the foundation of the world, it was finished that very minute that Jesus said it was finished. He, that Great Shepherd, had come for His sheep. It was finished, God’s right hand was pulled from His bosom, smitten. Then on Easter He returned it (amen), raised it up again to His bosom, and extended it down to you and I, in the form of His Word, to redeem us back to the original garden from which sin took us from. The hidden secret of His great heart was revealed by a Prophet-Shepherd. It was revealed by a Shepherd, Prophet-Shepherd. 64-1221 - Why It Had To Be Shepherd
1 Corinthians 2: 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Seven Dimensions/ Realms
Now, when Jesus died, the Bible said He went and preached to the souls that were in prison that repented not in the long-suffering in the day of Noah. Is that the Scripture? You know it is. What was that? Jesus went and preached to the souls that were in prison. Why? He walked to the doors. I can see Him over yonder in that demon region, where those demons lay, those un... I mean those souls that didn't repent. In that dark place there called the chains of darkness. Knocked at the door. And He opened up the door and I looked in there. There is a great mass of souls, lost and screaming. And beautiful girls and wrinkled hags and everything else, crying. Oh, my. If they only had a chance..

“Now, when we come along, we remember that WE live here in THREE dimensions. And I don't know whether I can name them or not. One of them is LIGHT, and the other is MATTER. Atom--time. Right. Now LIGHT, MATTER, and TIME. And our five senses contact them dimensions. Our sight contacts light, our feeling contacts matters, and so forth…Now, but we have contact through SCIENCE, the FOURTH dimension, as it was. Because coming right through this building now comes pictures, voices of radio, pictures on television, that our senses does not contact that, but yet they have a--a tube or crystal that picks up those ether waves and manifests them. Now, the FIFTH dimension is where the SINNER, the unbeliever DIES and GOES TO. The FIFTH dimension is the--kind of the--well, the horrible dimension. And when a CHRISTIAN DIES, he goes into the SIXTH dimension. And GOD is in the SEVENTH dimension.”
49 Say, here is a line like this. And in here there’s all mortals. On this side, or that side, men are influenced by one side. This side comes from God. This side comes from the devil. Now, let’s just take it a great conglomeration of blackness, and gaiety, and muck, and sin, and divisiveness of this world. Every once in a while, you’ll see a little white spot; that’s a Christian, like a light. Now, those that are in darkness are influenced from beneath. Those that are lights are influenced from above. Now, when you leave either one of these channels, you go into the realm of spirit. This is the mortal realm, the dimensions that we live in.
When Jesus died yonder at Calvary for a propitiation for our sins, he died not a just man but a sinner, not of His own, but mine and your sins sent Him to the regions of the lost. And I can see Him when He died yonder on Calvary, hanging between the malefactors, crying, “My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” And when He gave up the ghost and bowed His head, His Spirit went and preached to the spirits that were in prison, that repented not in the longsuffering of the days of Noah. The Scripture says so. 55-0225 - Glorified Jesus
And those demon spirits come into people and habitate their body. See what I mean? They're demons that once... They was once existed and they come into the people and give them a nature. Jesus cast seven of them out of Mary Magdalene: Pride, boast (big people, you see?), unclean, filthy, vulgarity, emulations, strife, all these things. See? Them was spirits that was made up back there when God began to make man off of there in His Own image, created those supernatural beings, those spirits...

There’s men, woman, boys, and girls in here, perhaps, Lord, that’s never yet accepted Thee as their Saviour. They don’t know what it means to have peace in their soul. And all these old things of the earth pass away. And the soul, the immortal part that goes beyond every sphere of atom, goes on beyond cosmic light, petroleum, goes on into the spiritual realm. That’s the eternal part; that’s the part that cannot perish, when it’s believed on the Lord Jesus. How simple You made it. Just come, receive. “Ask, ye shall receive.” 55-0301 - Elijah
71 The human being is made up just like a grain of wheat. It’s a seed. And the human being is a seed. Physically, you’re the seed of your father and mother; and the life come from the father, the pulp come from the mother. So, the two, together, the egg and the—the blood, comes together. And in the blood cell is life. And in there it begins, develop, making the—the child. Now, any seed has a shell on the outside; the inside is pulp; and inside of the pulp is the germ of life. Well, that’s the way we’re made. We are body, soul, and spirit. The outside, the body, the shell; the inside of that, the conscience and so forth, is the soul; and the inside the soul, is a spirit. And the spirit governs all the other. 62-0311 - The Greatest Battle Ever Fought
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
There is a control tower of the soul, and one for the body
Each tower is a warning caller for the needs of the other. Each one calls to the need for what the caller is calling for, it sends out a wave of warning.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
The human spirit surrounds the soul but has no supernatural component which leaves a gap between the soul and the human spirit. This gap is easy to fill with demons. The cravings for nicotine, alcohol, and drugs are due to the presence of demons that lust after these substances. When people sincerely try to give up these habits, there must be something else inside of them demanding that they continue with these evil habits.
New Age people invite "channels" and "guides" into this spiritual vacuum. Astrologers and fortune-tellers do likewise. But whatever name is given to these spirits, they come from the wrong dimension, the regions of the lost.
There are also religious demons.
These make us behave in respectable church ways, but make us take no real interest in staying strictly with Scripture. They allow us to believe some Scriptures, but then drift off happily into denominational traditions that are not written in the Bible. These demons enable us to indifferently ignore any Scripture that contradicts our church traditions or customs. It is a religious demon that makes wives dominate their husbands.
“What is the will of God?” There is only ONE WAY to know His will and that is by the WORD OF GOD. Lamentations 3:37, “Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?” There it is. If it isn’t in the Word you can’t have it. So we can’t ask unless it’s in the Word, and we can’t petition or ask unless it is in His Name. There it is again. JESUS (the Name) is the WORD (will). You can’t separate God and the Word. They are ONE.
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages - 5 - The Pergamean Church Age
Humans are very pathetic. We focus so much on the body, feed the body, dress the body and do everything is for the body and yet, we neglect our souls. The very soul that the Almighty paid a heavy price for. The very soul that can either have eternal life or go into everlasting tourment. The human soul which is the real us and yet that’s the one that we neglect the most because we are running around looking for how to pleasure this animal rather than the spirit that God created in His own image. May we take inventory today and look after what truly matters, our souls.
Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD , Searching all the inward parts of the belly.
Ephesian 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
The Bible uses the expression the mind of the Spirit and the spirit of your mind. Thus there is no difference between the spirit and the mind. The spirit when it operates through your brain is your mind. But scientists say that our thinking is also influenced by our hearts as well as our gut feeling. So thinking is far more complex than what we realize.
Time involves a fourth-dimension that also involves the spirit world of good-and-evil because those spirits will eventually end when they are burned up in the Lake of Fire. Then time will also end. We live in three-dimensional space that has length, breadth, and height. Space is inside a fourth-dimension pipeline of time that includes unsaved spirits or ghosts of dead people and the good-and-evil spirits of demonology that make demons so deceptive. So the spirits of our minds contact this higher 4-dimension spirit world and are influenced by those spirits.
Our brain is some kind of aerial that picks up thoughts and ideas from that higher dimension. Just like a radio or television can pick up invisible waves of information that pass through a room. Therefore natural man is endlessly influenced by spiritual wickedness that comes invisibly from a higher, and thus more clever, spiritual realm.
JOB 14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
“Him” must be the "spirit" as a person is made up of a body of flesh, soul, and spirit. Your spirit produces the spiritual qualities of your personality. Your personality describes you as a unique individual.
Your life or spirit has your fleshly body upon it on the outside which enables your spirit to contact the outside physical world. And deep down within your spirit is your soul which enables you to contact and believe in the higher dimensions of Heaven and God.
This is the sixth-dimension, a much higher dimension of pure Heavenly spirits like angels. This is far above the fourth-dimension which is the realm of good-and-evil spirits. So the actual order of these three, from the inside, is soul, spirit, and body.
The main focus of Calvary was the Soul of the Lord Jesus. His Soul was the sacrifice that saved our souls.
He became a Kinsman Redeemer, a Human Being just like us, only without sin. Spirit, soul and body are the order God works in because the first move comes from God's Spirit which convicts the human spirit.
The spirit, soul, and body represents the order of God's plan for our rebirth. The first step is when the Spirit convicts us about sin.
Secondly, the soul develops the faith to believe in God and His Word. Then the body comes under subjection to the Word of God. The real sin is unbelief It is the soul that is linked to sin.
What Spirit is in the control tower of your soul?
The guidepost you have in your soul directs you from the inside, it is then expressed on the outside. That’s the control tower, the inside of the inside. The soul controls the spirit, the spirit controls the body. If GOD is the one controlling your soul, you will have the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Moreover, the if Lord Jesus predicted this age to end up in the greatest discrepancy that ever was, the Laodicea church age, lukewarm, that put Him out of the church, how can it be anything else but that: Discrepancy! Certainly, it is. It ends in this age. Satan is in control of many people's towers.
Spiritual Blindness And Ignorance
72 Now, if you’ll sit down when you get home, and draw three little rings. You’ll find out that the outside body has five senses it’s contacted by, and that is see, taste, feel, smell, hear. That’s the five senses that control the human body.
73 Inside of the body is a soul, and that soul is controlled by imaginations, conscience, memory, reasons, and affections. That’s the thing that controls the soul.
74 But, the spirit, it only has one sense. The spirit. The spirit has one sense, and that sense is, either dominates it, is faith or doubt. That’s exactly. And there’s only one avenue to it, that’s free moral agency. You can accept doubt or you can accept faith, either one you want to work on. Therefore, Satan begin at the principal part, to cause the spirit of man to doubt God’s Word. God begin at the principal part, to lay His Word in that spirit. There you are. That’s what does it.
Both GOD and Satan fight to control our lives and both powers influence every decision that we make. However, since the Almighty Creator placed humans on moral agency, which is the ability or capacity of an individual to make ethical decisions and be held accountable for their actions based on moral principles. This agency is like a compass that gives us the ability to act whether morally or immorally. Whatever the case, we have to take responsibility for those actions we take.
Since the Spirit of God and the devil influence our decision making, but do not make the decisions for us; we are left to make the final choice based on which Spirit we yield ourselves to, they both speak to us. GOD speaks through our hearts, because that’s the channel He chose to use, but the devil speaks through the mind.
These two great Spirits rule and reign over humanity. Moreover, humans have a choice on which of these great spirits rule over them, and which Kingdom they want to belong to. These powerful spiritual kingdoms are both in us and around us throughout our lives.
It's quiet unfortunate that most people are not aware or simply don’t care that the spiritual world has absolute control over this physical world. And many movements are working tirelessly to keep people from knowing this truth, that is why many people walk in absolute darkness, unaware and unconcerned of what really govern their lives.
Sadly, I have met many people, who are supposed to be created in GOD'S own Image, deny the very existence of their own Maker and Creator. They reject Him so much that it cuts deep into my soul. I know the whole World has plummeted in absolute darkness; and we are living in the end time where spiritual decline and moral decay is on the highest rate, and it must be so, yet it is still grievous to see GOD's own creation in such a pathetic condition.
When human being reject or chose to ignore the spiritual realms, which actually controls every aspect of their lives, they live in ignorance which empowers the kingdom of darkness to rule and reign over them, the consequences are catastrophic.
Ignoring the spiritual realms gives the kingdom of darkness easy access to every avenue of your life. Without GOD, satan takes your head as his control towel. He will make you to reason the LORD'S Word, he will blind you to the truth of your day, and make you do wicked things.
Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, There is none that doeth good.
In addition, by choosing spiritual ignorance, when the people reject the knowledge and rulership of the great SPIRIT of GOD, they not only deprive Him of His rights to fellowship, love, affection and worship; which He desperately desires to receive from His own creation. But they also suffer from spiritual solitude and live outside of GOD's protective hedge thus open to every spiritual attack. The devil loves these types of people, he can kill, steal and destroy them effortlessly. How can you fight an enemy you don't even acknowledged? Furthermore, as long as you ignore spiritual matters, your defeat is guaranteed, your enemy will celebrate over you and have the final say.
80 See, it’s the inside. No matter how good you are, how moral you are, how truthful you are, those things are respected. But Jesus said, “Except a man be borned again.” See? There’s got to be something happen inside. If you don’t, that’s artificial put-on, for down in your heart you desire to do it anyhow. It’s can’t be artificial. It’s got to be real. 62-0311 - The Greatest Battle Ever Fought
We have rejected our Leader, the Holy Spirit, and through corrupt politics have brought in men of perverse mind.
1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
If there was an reward for ignorance, entitlement, disrespectfulness, and astonishing lack of discernment, this generation would have won the prize with ease. Truly, a generation that does not love, respect nor acknowledge GOD. This is Satan's favourite age. He doesn't have to setup much devices to destroy the people of this age, they destroy themselves by rejecting the true Word, LORD JESUS CHRIST. As Psalm 53:1 says "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: There is none that doeth good"
This generation knows so much about violent games, smoking, drinking, Hollywood entertainment, social media, and how to have the highest body counts. They do not care about GOD nor spiritual things. These smart, educated and very religious people have blinded themselves with traditions, wisdom, knowledge and understanding of men till they reject the only Truth and Light. Thus satan kills and destroys them by thousands per day.
No matter how intelligent you think you are, if you do not acknowledge and love your Maker, you are the biggest fool. Yes, the world may honour and give you recognition, but the Heavens have marked you as a perishable fool. Subsequently, when your life here on Earth is done; you leave this World as a failure, a loser, and a fool, though you achieved so much in your life. But as the LORD said in Matthew 16:26 "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" No matter what you have achieved or gained in this World, you will return back to the dust with nothing. Naked you came, and naked you must return.
May it not be your portion to stand before the Living GOD in shame, just because you spent your whole life chasing and pursuing vain glory and perishable goods. Seek GOD today, do not wait, tomorrow may be too late. Be the wise builder that builded his/her house upon the solid ROCK. That Rock is the Lord Jesus Christ. Every other achievements will fail, but if you make the LORD your ultimate goal and achievement, He will give you eternal life. Additionally, do not stay in spiritual blindness and be another victim of satan, run to Christ. He is the Light that drives away darkness.
25 Then I was looking and thinking about that word “thirst,” so I looked up in the dictionary, to see what it means. And here is what Webster says, “It’s a painful desire,” a painful, when you want something so bad until it becomes painful to you. 26 Now, it’s—it’s not an unnatural thing, to thirst. Thirst is a—a natural thing. It’s just simply something that God has given us, that we could, to give us a—a desire for something. Sometimes God has, also, has given you a—a control tower, something that sets inside of you, that—that controls these different desires. And this thirst, this control tower that sets in a man’s heart, is something that God give him to—to warn him of the desires that’s needful for him.
27 Now there is two different kinds of thirst. There is a thirst, physically. And there is a thirst, also, spiritually. I would like to read this, what David said, again. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God:… 28 Not some historical, or some something that happened some years ago, or—or some tale that someone told; but, “for the living God,” a God that’s ever present. And his soul thirsted for that God, not for some historical something. 29 Now we find, God gives the control tower to you, to give to you the things that you need. Now, the control tower in you is what directs you. And this thirst runs in on this co-…tower, control tower, and tells you what you have need of, spiritually speaking. The control tower in the body, and in the soul, also. There is a control tower in the body, that tells you the need that’s needed in your body, and it’s brought to you by thirst. Also, there is a control tower in your soul, that tells you the spiritual things that you have need of, something in your spirit, and, and you by this can tell what kind of a life is controlling you. 65-0919 - Thirst
1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.
77 What we need in the capital of this United States, as a president, what we need in Congress, what we need in our halls of justice, is men who have consecrated their life to God, and are filled with the Holy Ghost, and are led by His Divine direction. But, instead of that, we choose men of intellectual, men who have “forms of godliness, and deny the power of God,” men who are atheists, and sometimes even worse than that, we brought into our political realms, of our nation. 78 Not only that, but in our churches. Our churches have become corrupt upon the basis that we, in choosing our shepherds to lead us, we have gone to the seminaries and have selected men that’s great intellectual giants, men who are very brilliant in mind, men who has scholarships, and are great mixers amongst the people, and are great men in the neighborhood, which I have nothing to say against. Men who are kind in their ways of walk, careful in their ways of life, and how they conduct themselves among other men, and among people, great men in their fields, which I do not speak evil of. God forbid that my spirit would ever be that evil. But, still, that isn’t what God chose for us. 60-0515M - The Rejected King
2 Timothy 3:1-9 AMP
1 But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. 2 For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, 3 [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them. 6 For among them are those who worm their way into homes and captivate morally weak and spiritually-dwarfed women weighed down by [the burden of their] sins, easily swayed by various impulses, 7 always learning and listening to anybody who will teach them, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres [the court magicians of Egypt] opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, unqualified and worthless [as teachers] in regard to the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their meaningless nonsense and ignorance will become obvious to everyone, as was that of Jannes and Jambres.
Blindness is one of the cruelest things that we can think of, a person who cannot see the daylight. And if natural blindness is unbelievably cruel, how horrendously greater the spiritual blindness is; to those who have good eyes but cannot see the two spiritual kingdoms that wage war for dominance in their lives daily.
Spiritual blindness causes death
29 Now we find, God gives the control tower to you, to give to you the things that you need. Now, the control tower in you is what directs you. And this thirst runs in on this co-…tower, control tower, and tells you what you have need of, spiritually speaking. The control tower in the body, and in the soul, also. There is a control tower in the body, that tells you the need that’s needed in your body, and it’s brought to you by thirst. Also, there is a control tower in your soul, that tells you the spiritual things that you have need of, something in your spirit, and, and you by this can tell what kind of a life is controlling you.
31 There is a control tower of the soul, and one for the body, and each tower is a warning caller for the needs of the other. Each one calls to the need for what the caller is calling for, it sends out a wave of warning. 65-0919 - Thirst 65-0919 - Thirst
Blindness is a horrible thing. When I see a man, blind, my heart goes out for him. But, yet, I know of a blindness that’s worse, spiritual blindness; how God made man to visualize Him, and they can’t do it. 64-0620E-God has a provided Lamb
The Holy Spirit wants you to live godly, every day in the week, and every night, separating yourselves from the things of the world. 60-0515M - The Rejected King
And the handwriting is on the wall and can be read by the spiritual mind that believes in spiritual things, has been born of the Spirit of God.
9 And remember, God is looking to me to see that I stay in the Word. And I’m looking to you to see that you carry out the Word, see, see, in this church. And keep it spiritual, for, remember, all the forces of—of the dark kingdom of Satan will be turned against you as you begin to grow in the Lord. And you must be soldiers, not just fresh recruits. You’re aged soldiers now, and been trained to fight. And Satan will come among you, cause you to dispute with one another if he can. Turn him down just immediately; you’re brethren; and it’s the enemy. And we’re here to hold a standard in this evening Light time, that, when the world is darkened and the whole church kingdom is going into the Council of Churches. And pretty soon they’ll try to tack a sign on this door here, “Closed!” And then we’re going to have to meet other places, ’cause they’ll certainly close these churches one of these days if we don’t take the mark of the beast. And we’re depending on staying true to God till death sets us free, and that’s what we intend to do. 63-1226 - Church Order
Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Imagine how happy the kingdom of darkness is, when they afflict and oppress the people with various diseases, sicknesses, disabilities, depressions, misfortunes, and addictions and yet, they don't run to GOD for help but normalize their conditions. In most cases, they blame GOD for these attacks, accusing Him of bringing disasters upon their lives. How pathetic.
GOD is a good GOD. He always warns the people of impending dangers. But, they are too blind and ignorant to see the evil kingdom that is operating against them. And when something bad happens, they blame GOD and everyone else, it's never their fault.
Besides, the LORD is the only one that is able to open your spiritual eyes to see what the enemy is doing or planning against your life/family. Moreover, if you decide to keep your head under the mud, and refuse to accept the spiritual world just because you can't see it with your physical eyes, then be ready to face severe consequences for your ignorance.
GOD said in Hosea 4:6 that, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." By rejecting GOD's knowledge you become vulnerable to all manner of demonic arrows that the wicked ones fire against you.
Spiritual blindness is ten million times worse than physical blindness. If I have to go blind in my eyes or go blind in my spirit, God take my eyes, before my spirit. Let my eyes be open to see His glory. Anoint my eyes, O Lord, with Thy eyesalve. Don’t let cold come in and set up an infection. And coldness, indifference, denominations, creeds, doctrines, and so forth, that’s give you the pneumonia, and your eyes have been all mattered and swelled up, until now, God can show His glory. You can hear somebody enjoying it, “So-and-so got healed. Why can’t I?” Just open your eyes to see His glory. He’s here. Christ still lives. 58-0302 - Door To The Heart
Isaiah 5:13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Or would you rather say, “The devil struck me down and a loving God come and healed me and give me life again.” Why, a child would know better than to say that God put sickness on people. Don’t never pin that on God. Disobedience brings sickness.
45 Jesus never did tell His disciples, never preached at anywhere or asked the disciples to tell people they must stay pinned down with sickness to obey Him. He sent them to liberate the sickness, and to preach to those in captivity, and to those in bondage. He come to bring deliverance. And He can’t bring deliverance. He can’t do the two things opposite one from the other. He’s either got to be the Author of Life or the author of death. And if you put sickness onto God, and say if that is God making you sick to die, then you’ve got to make Him an author of death. When death and life cannot associate even together. There never was a funeral preached in the Presence of Jesus Christ. He broke up every funeral procession He come in contact with. Why? Life and death can’t exist together. Amen. 56-0612 - Life Is The Healer
Jesus purchased the redemption of our souls at Calvary. That was a complete work. Redemption of the soul is past tense, we just have to recognize that fact. There is nothing anyone can do today to save their soul. Eternal redemption. God always had His salvation plan in His Mind. The Mind is an attribute of Spirit and God is a Spirit. All the way back from before the beginning He already knew who would worship Him and believe His Word.
God's Spirit convicts my spirit. I repent and realize that He saved my soul 2000 years ago. My soul begins to believe and feeds on the Bible verses that I can understand. This builds up my faith and brings my body under submission. So the redemption of the soul is past tense. The plan was always in God’s Mind. Then Jesus came and actually paid the price to purchase our souls. But this great deed had always been in God’s Mind. It was nothing new. Just a fulfillment of God’s thoughts from way back. On the day of the resurrection, the dead in Christ will arise in glorified bodies that cannot sin. That is when their bodies will be redeemed. The redemption of our souls was bought at Calvary at His First Coming. At the future resurrection just before His Second Coming, the redemption of our bodies will happen when we are changed into glorified bodies.
76 Now remember, it’s not Christian Science, now, mind over matter. The mind accepts the Life, which is the Word of God, and there brings the Life. Just your thought doesn’t do it. But, the Word of God, brought in the channel of your thought. See? It’s not the thought, as Christian Science make it, mind over matter. No. That’s isn’t it.
77 But, your mind accepts It. It grasps It. What is your mind controlled by? Your spirit. And your spirit catches the Word of God, and that’s the thing that’s got Life in It. It brings Life into you. Oh, brother! When that takes place, when Life comes down that channel, into you, the Word of God is manifested in you. “If ye abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, then ask what you will and it’ll be done for you.”
78 Then what does that do? From the middle of the heart, which is the soul, from there goes forth, feeding every channel. The trouble of it is, we’re standing in here with a lot of doubt, trying to accept what’s out there. You’ve got to stop that; and come down that channel with the true Word of God, and then it goes out, itself, automatically. It’s what’s on the inside. That’s the thing that counts, is the inside. Satan’s approach is from the inside.
but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].
234 Now, what is a man? He’s a triune being; body, soul, and spirit. How many knows that? Watch God’s approach. What is his heart? You remember my message, God Chose a Man’s Heart for His Control Tower? The devil chose his head for his control tower; see, he makes him see things, look through his eyes. But in it…God in his heart makes him believe things that he cannot see. Did He? See, God is on his heart, in the heart of man is the Throne of God. You get it? Man! God made His Throne in the heart of man.
235 Now, watch. What’s the first part of the man? The first part of the man is body. The next part is his soul, which is the nature of his spirit that makes him what he is. He approaches now. Now, the third part of the man is his spirit, and his spirit is in the center of his heart, and in the center of the heart is where God comes for the Throne. 61-0101 - Revelation, Chapter Four #2
Galatians 5:16-26
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
The Eternal Light, God wants to dwell supremely in us, to do our thinking, do our walking, do our talking, then it’s no longer the man; it’s God in the man. Full obedience.
18 Now, for instances when a man gets saved, he’s just about like…The Light that comes into him is about like this little white button on my shirt. That’s when God comes into the inner part of a man. In the inner part of a man or…A man is made up in the system of a tabernacle: in the outer courts, then holy place, and the holiest of holies; the Shekinah glory on the inside, the veil. Now, on the outside gates of a man is his five senses that enters to his body. On the inside, which is his soul, or the…The—the soul is the nature of the spirit that’s on the inside of his heart; produces his soul, which makes the atmosphere around him. He has also five entrances. Then on the inside he has only one gate, one entrance to go into the Shekinah glory, where God can enter into him and take over in the control tower. And that way is through self-will. Whether you will to or not, that’s up to you. But that’s the only avenue that’s open to the man that God can come into his heart, is by self-will. Puts him right back like Adam and Eve on free moral agency again. You can choose right or wrong, either one you want to.
19 Now, self-will…Then God comes into the man, into the heart, which is the spirit. Then the spirit makes the soul, and then the soul dwells in the body. Now, when a man is converted, say, just like that little white button starts in his heart. Now, that part is God. God…When he’s born again with the Spirit of God, God’s Spirit dwells in him. 61-0117 - The Messiah
The Kingdom of GOD is established by faith of the revelation of the Word of God. The Revelation of the LORD JESUS CHRIST
A person that’s born again of the Kingdom of God has nothing to fear. You’re absolutely, safely secure in Jesus Christ.
The contrast between the two kingdoms
God’s Eden was established in righteousness.
God is righteousness, and God’s kingdom was established in righteousness, and peace, and Life.
Satan’s Eden is established in sin, because Satan is sin.
And Satan’s establishment is in sin, and religious sin.
One, worshipping by beauty, knowledge, education, science, and ethics.
Fear is one of the worst things that Satan can place upon the person.
Both Kingdoms have Brides: Christ’s Word-Bride - Satan's Intellectual Bride
158 Also, notice, Christ’s Word-Bride is heading up, also. As we see where the antichrist is heading, begin back there and now coming to a head; a ecumenical council will put it to an ecclesiastical head. And the little Church that’s come along, also, Christ’s Word-Bride down through the age, is coming to a Head, ’cause She’s going to be united back to Its Mate. Always, just like the church and everything else, It’s got to unite. The Wheat, everything else, comes right back to its head where it started from; like Cain and Abel. Word-Bride heading up in the Person of the Word of God made manifest in this evil age that we’re living. See where it’s heading up? 65-0801M - The God Of This Evil Age
159 And Satan will soon take his intellectual bride and exalt this great one, which is the antichrist, the hierarchy’s, and set him upon a throne, “and the whole world will wonder after him.” And then Christ will come. And two cannot exist in the same time. And his kingdom will be taken; he’ll be destroyed. And Christ, the Word of God…Which, the woman is a part of the man’s body. They’re not two; they’re one. And the Bride, Church, Word, “a people called out from here and there, for His Name’s sake,” will unite in the Body of Jesus Christ. And the kingdom of the antichrist will be taken and destroyed. And Christ shall take throne, and set upon the throne of His father David, and reign upon the earth for a thousand years; then present the Church to God, “without spot or blemish.” Yes! 65-0801M - The God Of This Evil Age
49 Over in the book of Revelation said, “Rejoice, ye heavens and you holy prophets (Here it is), for the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ. And He ruled and reigned on earth a thousands years.” There you are. Then they will study war no more. But as long as Satan’s got the rule, he just…This one will build up a little bit, and a few righteous men will get in office, and they will build up a little bit, and then Satan will reach over here and tear the thing down. That’s right. Then the first thing you know, with that great prince that’s coming someday, every man, every nation fighting: let this be the international language; let this be the international flag; and they’re fighting for power and don’t realize they’re calling up a bunch of crazy people. And we’re in the kingdom that will possess the world. That’s right. Yes, sir. The kingdom of God shall rule and reign and smite down every nation, every flag, and there will be one flag, and that will be the Old Rugged Cross. There will be one language; that will be the heavenly. Hallelujah. One people, that will be the saints, and they will rule and reign with Christ on David’s throne, His father, and rule and reign here through the Millennium of a thousand years, and then it over to the new earth. Oh, what a marvelous thing. 54-0401 - God's Preparation
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
The Bride of Christ is vowed to Christ; and He is the Word
I’ll picture the Bride of Christ now. We picture the antichrist, where she is, religious and everything, science. Now the humble little Bride of Christ just simply believes the Word, whoever She is. It’s individuals. I hope and trust that there’s many setting present, many listening in. And I hope that myself, and every one of you all, are part of that Bride. I hope many. And, it will, all that’s been ordained to that will be that, ’cause it’s their nature. They see. The Word can only recognize the Word. It can’t recognize a denomination or a perversion. It knows better; It’s the Word. See? It can’t recognize nothing.
Her long hair, Nazarite vow, shows that She is vowed to God. Her beautiful gown of His promised Word for the age that She is living in, wrapped around Her, vindicating Her with Himself, of Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” As, She is a part of the Word Groom, true to Him in every point.
65-0801M - The God Of This Evil Age
When Christ comes to His Bride, She will be a virgin like Mary was. For God will not bring Christ through a womb of a whore, and neither will He bring the Bride. He can’t bring His Word through a whore of His Word. The prove, true Bride, like Mary, will have a virgin womb for the Bride of the Word, which is Christ. When Christ, the Word, comes to the Bride, She’ll be the same as He is, a virgin by the Word. O God!
62-0318 - The Spoken Word Is The Original Seed
Satan's Bride
Makes no claims. “I—I believe His Word.” See? Doesn’t make any claims. Doesn’t claim to be educated. Doesn’t belong to any denomination, any party, any sect. It belongs to Christ. It’s His Wife; not a church wife. She’s a prostitute. The Bible said she was a “whore,” and, “THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS,” and they all come together and make the same whore. And that kind of a woman is a woman that’s untrue to her Husband; and claiming Christ as her husband, and belonging to a denomination. Such nonsense! We belong to Christ.
168 “Children of disobedient” means obedience…Disobedience means “rebellion.” I looked that up in the dictionary, to be sure. Rebellion, rebelling against (what?) the revealed Word of God. Like Cain revealed…rebelled against Abel’s revealed revelation, vindicated of God that it was righteous. And Cain rebelled against it, and slew his brother. The Pharisees, with their own denominational knowledge of what the Word of God was, selected hand-picked man, rebelled against the vindicated Word of God made manifest for the day, Jesus Christ, and killed Him. That right? That’s what “the children of disobedience” is, a rebellion against the Word of God. Now see where they are? “Oh, days of miracles is past. Jesus Christ is not the same yet. There is no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost. All that stuff is nonsense!” See, rebellion! They don’t have to say two things; just have to say one, that’s all. That’s rebellion, right there. They can’t say you don’t have eyes, you don’t have ears; you got to take the whole body, the whole Word. See? The Holy Spirit call, “Comes out of her, be not partakers of her denominational dogma,” as he laughs and scorns at the Word of God of this day. 65-0801M - The God Of This Evil Age
She is the devil’s bride, wrapped in his religious, sin-loving knowledge for this present evil age, to deceive you. Oh, my! A whole clique or denomination of seducing spirits, by scientific knowledge and a modern civilization! Claiming. 65-0801M - The God Of This Evil Age
Sad to say the true vine was not exactly immune to this doctrine. By that I do not mean that the true vine ever did establish the Nicolaitane ideas as a doctrine. Far from it. But that little worm of death kept sucking at the true vine hoping that it might fall. Even within the true church, men whom God had called as overseers were holding that title to mean a little more than just a local responsibility. It was not the clear understanding of Paul that existed in the church at this time. For Paul had said, “And they glorified God in me.” No matter what authority Paul had, he kept the people looking to God from Whom is all authority. But the clergy was always looking to Divine Leadership PLUS HUMAN, and thus in giving honor where honor was not due, we find that the true church was spotted with humanism. With Nicolaitanism established — apostolic succession — placed ministers — pastors voted in, etcetera, it was only one step for the false church to proceed to Balaamism. The second step to the “depth of Satan” was now in full progress.
This second step was the doctrine of Balaam, (described in Revelation 2:14) wherein Balaam taught Balac to stumble the children of Israel by a “united meeting.” There the guests would do two more things contrary to the Word of God. You will recall that Balac needed help to keep his kingdom. He called on the most dominant spiritual figure of his day, Balaam. Balaam gave the advice that trapped and destroyed Israel. It was, first of all, to suggest that they all get together and talk things over, and eat together and get things ironed out. After all, understanding each other goes a long way. Once you accomplish that, you can go from there.
The next step would be worshipping together, and of course, a little pressure from the host usually makes the guests go a lot further than they intended. Now that didn’t only happen back there to God’s church of the Old Testament but it happened to the church of the New Testament, for there was an emperor, who, like Balac, needed help to secure his kingdom. So Constantine invited the nominal Christian, First Christian Church of Rome, to help him get the Christians behind him, as they were a very large body. The outcome was the Nicene Council of 325. There the Christians, both true and nominal, came together at the invitation of Constantine.
The true Christians had no business even going up to the meeting. In spite of all Constantine could do to unite them all, the real believers knew they were out of place, and left. But to those who remained, Constantine gave of the state’s treasury along with political and physical force. The people were introduced to idol worship and spiritism, for statues with names of saints were placed in the buildings and the people were taught to commune with the dead, or pray to saints, which is nothing more nor less than spiritism. For the food that man truly needs, even the Word of God, they were given creeds, and dogmas and rituals which were also enforced by the state, and above all they were given three gods with the triple compound name of the One True God, and water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ gave way to the pagan baptism of three titles.
The real believers ought not to have gone there. They had already lost much truth, and now they, too, would lose the understanding of Godhead and forfeit names for titles in water baptism. An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages - 10 - A Resume Of The Ages
Christianity married to the state, with pagan ceremonies
154 Now, the word Pergamos means “married.” The very word Pergamos means “married.” Christianity (that is the Nicolaitanes side, the formal side) married to the state, with pagan ceremonies. Pagan ceremonies! And it was the birth of the Catholic church in that day.
Now watch this doctrine of Balaam most carefully. Notice above all, that it is the deliberate maneuver of a corrupt clergy to bind the people to them, by leading the people deliberately into the sin of unbelief. The Nicolaitane doctrine was the corruption of the clergy as they sought political power amongst themselves, while Balaamism is the subjection of the people to their system of creed and worship in order to hold them.
Now watch this carefully. What was it that bound the people to the nominal church and thereby destroyed them? It was the creeds and dogmas formed into church tenets. It was the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. They were not given the true food, the Word.
They were given the food that came from idol worship, Babylonian paganism wrapped up in Christian terminology. And that very same spirit and doctrine is right amongst all Protestants and it is called DENOMINATION. Nicolaitanism is organization, humanizing the leadership of the church, and thereby deposing the Spirit. Balaamism is denominationalism which takes the church manual instead of the Bible.
And right to this hour, many of God’s people are caught in the snare of denominationalism and God is crying to them, “Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” You see they are ignorant. But if the rapture should take place at this moment, ignorance would be no court of appeal from the judgment of God for being in the wrong ranks.
For the clergy to organize themselves with one rank over another until they are finally headed up by a president is a manifestation of the antichrist spirit, regardless of how wonderful and necessary it may seem. It is nothing but human reasoning taking the place of the Word. And any person who is in the organized denominations is right in the midst of an antichrist system. Now let me say this and make it very plain. I AM NOT AGAINST THE PEOPLE. I AM AGAINST THE SYSTEM. An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages - 10 - A Resume Of The Ages
Revelation 2:13-16 - 13 ‘I know where you dwell, [a place] where Satan sits enthroned. Yet you are holding fast to My name, and you did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed (martyred) among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some [among you] who are holding to the [corrupt] teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, [enticing them] to eat things that had been sacrificed to idols and to commit [acts of sexual] immorality. 15 You also have some who in the same way are holding to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will]; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war and fight against them with the sword of My mouth [in judgment]
Claiming that she is building a great world for you to live in. She claims, that, in her civilization, she has built fine churches, colleges, schools, hospitals, libraries, and temporary help for man, without God’s Word. She’s done it. She’s proved that she could do it. And the people has fell for it; yes, sir; schools, denominations, culture, better-dressed people, better-fed people. I’d rather be in a bread line, and be right with God; than to have fried chicken three times a day, and have to belong to a prostitute like that.
She’s did it. She’s…It’s a god of this earth, and she has built colleges. She has built universities. She has built hospitals. She has built libraries. She has built all these things for temporary help of man, just enough to deceive them, to get off of that Word. And what’s she led them to? The whole church world is plunged into death, for God said that He would burn the whore, and her children, with an everlasting fire. 65-0801M - The God Of This Evil Age
Satan got the same idea and wanted a more beautiful kingdom than Michael, when he went over and set up his kingdom in the north. That’s the nature of him. Here’s his own boy down here with his same nature.
35 But they finally came forth until both of those seeds, the seed of discrepancy and the Seed of God, put forth their genuine heads, and that wound up in Judas Iscariot and in Jesus Christ. For, He was the Seed of God, He was the beginning of the creation of God, He was nothing less than God. And Judas Iscariot was borned the son of perdition, come from hell, returned to hell. Jesus Christ was the Son of God, the Word of God made manifest. Judas Iscariot, in his discrepancy, was the seed of the devil, come to the world, and for deceit; just like he was at the beginning, Cain, his former father. 65-0118 - The Seed Of Discrepancy
Therefore there can be nothing shadowy, just a genuine, unadulterated Word of God! That’s sons of God, daughters of God, who’s not born by the will of man, or by shaking a hand, or some form of baptism; but borned in the Spirit of God, by the Holy Ghost, and the Word manifesting Itself through them. That’s genuine Seed of God!
And now like when Jesus come, and He found that discrepancy, contrary. He was the Word made manifest, He was God’s interpretation of the Word, because He said, “Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and they are they that testify of Me.” There you are. He—He was the interpretation of the Word. And every borned-again son and daughter of God of this age is the interpretation of the Word. You are written epistles, read of all men. Yes.
He said, “In vain they do worship Me, teaching discrepancy for Doctrine. In vain do they worship Me, teaching for Doctrine the discrepancy, doctrine of man, creeds of man, teaching that to be the Word of God, when it has nothing to do with the Word of God.”
Jesus said in Matthew 24:24 that it would be so close, it would deceive the very Elected if it was possible. Talk about discrepancy! Oh, it’s so cunning. Satan is among the people, and just such a theologian, such a Doctor of Divinity, can teach that Word almost perfectly. Jesus said so. But just watch him, there’ll be somewhere. Said, “Well, now, that wasn’t for this.” Oh, yes, it is, too, see, because God said it was.
Judas had no real faith. He had a make-believe faith. He had a—a faith that he thought that that was the Son of God, but he didn’t know that was the Son of God. He wouldn’t have done it. And a man who will compromise on this Word of God being the Truth, he’s got a make-believe faith. Genuine servant of God will hang on that Word.
42 The enemy joins church and becomes very orthodox in a creed or something. But that’s not…That’s discrepancy, anything that interferes with that strain of genuine Truth of God’s Word.
The Seed Of Discrepancy
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned
He said, “In vain they do worship Me, teaching discrepancy for Doctrine. In vain do they worship Me, teaching for Doctrine the discrepancy, doctrine of man, creeds of man, teaching that to be the Word of God, when it has nothing to do with the Word of God.”
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
55 What happened? The church just got started out of Egypt, on its feet a few days, and what happened? Satan come along with his discrepancy in the person, the second Cain, which was Balaam, and he sowed discrepancy amongst them. We know that’s right. That Balaam, the teaching of Balaam, that “we’re all the same, we serve the same God you do,” fundamentally, he was right, because he offered a sacrifice that God offered; seven rams, seven bullocks on seven altars, and prayed to the same God just as perfect as Moses did down in the wilderness, just exactly the same. But they were not the same! Foreshadowing to us what would come to pass. There was, again, Cain manifested in the…this person of Balaam. And there was God manifested in the person of Moses, interpreting His Words through a human being, making Hisself known, His promise, through a human being. And the discrepancy raised up.
107 Can you see the discrepancy? Can you—you see the—the cunningness of the devil, can work on a human being? Instead of yielding himself or herself to the Holy Spirit, and listen to what THUS SAITH THE LORD is, for a pure life, an undefiled character, for a different life, a peculiar people, a holy nation, a odd-acting people; they had rather coincide with the world, and act like the world, and go to some church that says, “That’s all right, just act like that and go on.” 60-0515M - The Rejected King
Prayer
Matthew 6:8-15 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
255 Almighty God, the Creator of heavens and earth, the Author of life, the Revealer of the secrets of the heart, You said, “The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, and even is a Discerner of the thoughts of the mind.”
256 That’s the reason, when the Word was made flesh, It knowed what they were thinking about, as He perceived their thoughts. He was the Word, and the Word knowed the secrets of their hearts. And that Word is still the same Word. And tonight we see It revealing Itself in us, after two thousand years, because He wrote It on the paper and is here confirming it, showing it, that It’s right.
257 Here lays handkerchiefs laying here. Sick people are everywhere. I pray that the great Holy Spirit that’s present, that shows these things, that tells these things, and never fails, but what it’s right, not one time can It fail, because It’s God. Let Him anoint these handkerchiefs with His Presence, and heal every sick person that they’re laid upon. And the God Who can be alive, after two thousand years, and can form Himself into sinners’ hearts that’s been redeemed by grace and faith, and can speak His Own Words through mortal lips, and watch it happen just exactly what He promised. 63-1110E - He That Is In You
52 Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, no doubt but what some of these people setting here tonight that’s raised their hand to this great host, thirty or forty people, that’s been people who’s been thinking of these things for a long time.
They’ve been tossed about, but tonight, somehow, in this little broken Message God has spoke to their heart. For it is written in the Word, “No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first.” And it’s written also that, “He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that’s sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall never come to the judgment, but’s pass from death to Life.”
They don’t have to weary no more. If they mean that from their heart, all the old things are gone. They shall never come to the judgment or condemnation. They’ve accepted Christ as their Saviour, and have been made a member of His body; and that body’s already been judged.
God could not judge it again. “But I’ll pass over you, when I see the Blood,” saith the Scripture. Give unto them Eternal Life. Give health to them, happiness, and joy.
May they find a church home somewhere close to where they are living, and there, be a faithful member of the Body of Christ until You call them home.
Then may they hear it said in that last day, “It was well done, my good and faithful servant; enter in to the joys of the Lord that’s been prepared for you since the foundation of the world.” Grant it, Lord. For we ask it in Jesus’ Name, as I present them to You as the fruits of this message. Keep them, O God, through Thy Word and Thy strength. Amen. 57-0728 - Thirsting For Life
Reverently, Lord, upon the basis of Thy Word and Thy Holy Spirit, we are so glad that we know where our Birth comes from. We are glad that we were “born not of the will of man, nor of the will of flesh, but of the will of God.”
172 I am sure, Lord, if this little church, this morning, could just look apast the curtain: not an affliction among them, there never could be; not a sickness; nothing but perfection. And It’s just one breath between here and There, from old age to youth, from time to Eternity, from a weary of tomorrow, and a sorrow of yesterday, till the present time of Eternity in perfection. 173 I pray, God, that You will bless every person here, if there be those here, Lord, who does not know You in that way of Love. And truly, Father, nothing could enter that holy Place without that type of Love, the new Birth, the being borned again. The Holy Spirit, God, is Love, and we know that that is true. No matter if we move mountains by our faith, if we did great things, still, without That there, we could never climb that great ladder yonder. But with That, It’ll lift us beyond this earthly cares. I pray, Father, that You will bless the people here. 60-0515M - The Rejected King

184 May they all now receive Eternal Life, Father. May this day never depart from them. In the hour when they come to leave this world, may this, what I have just said to them, open to a reality. And as we sit here, mortal, today, looking at our watch, thinking of our dinner, of work tomorrow, of the cares and toils of life, they’ll not be then. They’ll all fade away. There will be no cares; and one great joy of Eternity. Give them that type of Life, Father, every one. And may…
185 I ask You this, Father, that every person that’s here this morning, that’s heard me say this vision, may I meet every one of them on the other side; though there may be men here that would disagree with me, and women, too. But, Father, never let that stand in our way. May we meet them over There, and they run, too, and we grab each other, screaming, “Our precious brother.” Let it be like it was shown There, Lord, to everyone, all that I love, and all that love me. I pray that it’ll be that way, Lord. And I love them all. Let them appear, Father. I offer them Eternal Life now. May they do their part, to accept It. For I ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen. 60-0515M - The Rejected King
