<TITLE>17. Par 57-59</TITLE>L-57 Notice. The first thing taken place, there was an ark in this holy place. Watch the walls now, for you little children, so you can get it. There was a outer court. There was a holy place. And then a holiest of holies: three steps. It's always, God is perfected in three, completing it in seven, worshipped in twelve's, tempted in forties, and jubilee in fifties. All... Watch those numbers and you'll never get it mixed up. See? God perfected, Father, Son, Holy Ghost: justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, all these things perfected, how that He did it.
Notice, and in the--in the tabernacle, you... God lived in them three rooms. You live in three rooms. Oh, you say, "Brother Branham, I've got ten rooms in my house, but you're still only living in three." That's right. That's the kitchen, dining room, or the... The kitchen, and the living room, and the bedroom. You may have three bedrooms. You may have the sub-kitchen, called a dining room. But there's still only three rooms in your house.

L-58 You're living in a house, soul, body, and spirit. That's the way God lived in Jesus Christ, both soul, body, and spirit. "Not Me that doeth the works, the Father that dwelleth in Me." You see?
And in this tabernacle, completion. And it was also through the age of Luther, through justification; through the age of Wesley, through sanctification and in this latter day, with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, perfecting His Church in three stages of the journey. All around, everything's three.
Notice, and then God taken His Church in this great tabernacle. Now, those, the manna fell outside in the courts. And remember, the people eat this manna. But God told them to take up this manna, and put it, a bunch of it back in the holy place; in there was the ark. The ark is a type of the human heart, the ark, the place, the hidden place.

L-59 God prophesied through the prophet and said, "I will write My laws in their hearts, where I put them, in the tables of their hearts." Showing that that would be the dwelling place of God in the human heart, not the human head, but the human heart. Amen. "I will write them in My heart--in their heart. And they'll keep My statutes, and so forth," saith the Lord.
God said in another place over in Ezekiel, He said, "I will in that day, take out your old fleshly, stony heart. And I'll give you a new spirit, and I'll put a--My Spirit in you."
Now, a lot of people, even you Pentecostal people, lot of times get mistaken in that. You get a new spirit; that's not God's Spirit; that's you. That isn't God. You get a little happy, because you got a new spirit and you jump up-and-down, run around over the floor, maybe, and shout a little bit, and speak with tongues, and run around a little bit and think you got the Holy Ghost. That's not it. That's a new spirit, God gave you. That's you. Then after He give you your spirit, then He said, "I'll put My Spirit..."
That's what's the matter with the miss-meal cramps you got today. That's right. That's the reason you can't get nowhere with God.
