<TITLE>12. Par -</TITLE>L-16-4 And the people has been telling us that "You have to shout to get in here. You have to speak with tongues to get in here. You have to do all these things." But we find out that those things don't work.
I've seen people shout that wasn't... I don't hardly think... I have no way of judging; I shouldn't. I've seen people that shouted that lived any kind of a life. I've seen people dance in the Spirit, up and down the halls, and come back out and living horrible. I've seen both men and women do that. I've seen men and women dance in the Spirit, and speak with tongues, and shout, that had a temper like I don't know what.
There's something wrong. And yet, they enjoy the blessings of God. They believe in it. They have faith in it. But it's only in this outer court. It never has come to the inner court. They've never got from here down here.

L-17-2 That's what's the matter with the--the--the churches today. I hope you see it. Oh, my, when I can see a preview of it, that makes me rejoice, seeing that our anchor holds within the veil.
The Bible said, "He that overcometh will I give a white stone and a new name that no one knows but he himself."
Don't make any difference what people say. You know yourself when you've been brought into the inner veil. No one could tell you any different. Not because you joined church, because you did this or that, but something just tells you. You've got a stone that's in the heart, not a hard stone, a soft one. This stone makes your heart soft instead of hard.

L-17-5 In Ezekiel in the old times when the laws were put into the tabernacle in the ark, the laws of God... Ezekiel spoke of another time. Now, the people... There's two classes of people today: them same classes that's trying to do something to save themselves. Each one says, "I'll go to church every Sunday." That's very good. "I want to be religious." That's very good. That's still under a law. But when the other, by going to church and being good is not something that you do yourself, it's something in you doing it for you: the Holy Spirit in your heart.

L-17-6 Now, notice in this inner court. These people that live inside here seem to have--always fed up, always feeling good. Ezekiel said, "I will write my laws anew and put it in their heart." Where the law used to be on stones in the ark, and the ark represents the heart, then "I will put my new law in their hearts," in the ark.
The heart is the abode of God. And in the Old Testament God dwelt in His glory over the ark; heart is the ark. God dwells, not in the head; in the heart. God's not known by theology; God's not known by mental conception; God's known by a old fashion, sanctified borned again experience that's in the human heart.

L-17-8 Yet men and women live a good life, and love God by a mental conception. But the real hiding place is in the heart: hid with Christ. And when Christ the Holy Spirit comes into your heart, He is in you with your temperament, and He's living His own Life through His own will through you. Hallelujah.
I know it sounds awful, but it's right. Christ... So yielded you are, that Christ speaks the kind of words He'd speak. He thinks the kind of thoughts He would think, through you. He does the kind of works He would do--through you. You are yielded and resting.
What a beautiful picture of a consecrated Christian: yielded. Christ working through.

L-18-2 Paul said, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Not me that liveth any more, but Christ that liveth in me." Christ living in the individual soul--surrendered. Christ speaks through the lips, and thinks through mind, sees through the eye, acts through the temperament. Hallelujah.
Then the things of the world has passed away. How can it be anything but sweet and pleasant all the time? Christ has got control. Amen. You see it? That's what it is. It's Christ in you: Christ in you.
