<TITLE>09. Par 585-596</TITLE>L-585 Now, if you do wrong, God will make you pay for it. But if you do, you're wrong, you don't do it willingly. 10th chapter, 47th verse, I believe, "For if we sin willfully after we received the knowledge of the Truth." But after you're once Born, you have the Truth; not the knowledge of It, but you have accepted the Truth and It's become a reality. And you're a child of God, for time and Eternity. God swore that He would do it.

L-586 Jesus said, "He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting Life, and I'll raise him up in the last day. He'll never come to the judgment. He's passed from death unto Life." Now with a oath like that, "God willing that we should receive It."

L-587   Now watch what he says here, Paul speaking to the--the church.
... is impossible for God to lie, we ought to have a strong consolation,...
Not, "Well, if the Baptists don't treat me right, I'll go to the Methodists." See?
... we should have a strong consolation, who has fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

L-588 Now in the reading of the last.
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,...
The hope, the sworn oath of God, we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that is within the veil;

L-589 Let's speak just a moment on "the veil." We didn't get it too good last Sunday night.

L-590   "In the veil." The veil is the flesh. The veil is what keeps us from seeing God, face to face, in this church. The veil is what keeps us from seeing the Angels at their positions this morning, standing by the seats. The veil is what keeps us from seeing Him. We are hid behind the veil, and that veil is the flesh. We are sons and daughters of God, we're in the Presence of God, "The Angels of God are encamped about those who fear Him." We're in the Presence of God, all the time. "I'll never leave thee, neither will I ever forsake thee. I'll be with thee always, even unto the end." But the veil is the flesh, that's what keeps us out of His Presence. But through the soul, the Spirit, by our faith we know that He's watching us. He is standing by us. He's here now.

L-591   Down at Dothan, one morning, an old prophet was surrounded by an army and his servant went out and said, "O father, the whole country is surrounded by the aliens."

L-592 And Elijah raised up, and said, "Why, son, there is more with us than there is with them."

L-593 Well, he batted his eyes and looked around. He could see nothing.

L-594 He said, "God, I would that You'd open his eyes, take away the veil." And when the veil dropped from over his eyes, around that old prophet was chariots of fire, the mountains was on Fire with Angels and chariots. There you are.

L-595 Oh, then Gehazi could say, "I--I understand now." See, the veil dropped. There is where the hindrance.

L-596   Here it is. Hold it tight. The veil is what keeps us from living the way we should. Veil is what keeps us from doing the things that we really want to do. And God became veiled in flesh, and the veil was tore in two. And God became God again, and He raised up the veil that He hid Hisself in. That's the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Proving to us that, in this veil that we're now hid in, by faith we believe It and accept It. And when this veil is tore in two, I'll go in His Presence with this assurance, knowing that, "I know Him in the power of His resurrection." At the Coming of the Lord Jesus, this veil will be raised up again, in a perfected way, till I'll walk and talk with Him as my Saviour and my God, when He takes the throne of David. And we'll live forever in this veil after it's been perfected, but this veil has sin in it. It don't matter how... Don't never think of that glorified body in this earth. It's got to die, same as your soul has to die, to be born again.
