<TITLE>15. Par 137-144</TITLE>L-137 I was telling my wife this morning. I looked over, and I said, "Honey, you know..." I was talking about my--my brother and them, how their--the children... Here's Rebekah, getting to be almost a young woman. And--and I said, "I want to try to get away from here before she has to get in this school, and so forth," and on like that. And I said, "You know, we're not children any more." I said, "I'm not anyhow." I said, "You know, I'm going to be forty-six pretty soon." I said, "I--I'm a getting to be an old man."
But, oh, my, then when my mind flops over here to God's promised oath to me, then all that just fades away then. I just... Everything just seems different. Now, watch. In a good old age...
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
God, making His promise, God give it to Abraham unconditionally... Now, watch when He said this. Oh, here's a beautiful picture, if we could just have the time to finish it, 'fore we get down to finish this, the picture that God had made up... Look.

L-140 He said, "Go get me a heifer of three years old." Watch, three. Everything in the Bible is a three. Three blends to a one. See? Father, Son, Holy Spirit, not three Gods: One. Faith, hope, and charity, not three different things, but all the essence of one: love.
Now, then there was justification, sanctification, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, not three different dispensations, not three works of grace, but one work in three different manifestations. Same Holy Spirit was with Luther, under justification was under Wesley with sanctification; in the Church now, in the baptism of the Holy Ghost: the same Holy Spirit, not two Holy Spirits, the same Holy Spirit.

L-142 The little corn that come up here, the first thing, and the farmer looked and seen these little sprouts sticking up. "Wonderful!" He rejoiced. After while, they got old and withered away, and the corn went on. In it, the same life that was in this corn down here at the first stalk, is in it up here in the ear and grain, just the same. It just went on, and on, and on, and on.
And so is the Church growing on to that perfect day when Jesus shall come. See? Same Holy Spirit, same thing, just different dispensation.

L-144 Now, in moving of this, look. Take the heifers, the goats, and everything must be three years old, the three different dispensations: fatherhood, sonship, Holy Spirit. See? Three years, everything was three years, meant, Father, Son, Holy Spirit: same God that was under that dispensation, is under this dispensation, under that dispensation, and will be the same: Only one God, three dispensations, not three Gods: three dispensations of the same God.
The same God was in the Pillar of Fire was in Christ Jesus. The same One in Christ Jesus, in you. That's right. God in you the hope of glory. Is that right? The baptism of the Holy Spirit dwelling in the person now, you become what? Sons of God.
