<TITLE>07. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24 Now, if this child was obedient, there was a ceremony to be made, when the child become matured. They taken him out in a public place... Listen close; don't miss this. Watch the Scripture. They taken the child out into a public place, placed a robe upon him, a royal robe, and they had a ceremony. And it was the ceremony of adoption. The child that had been borned into the family, become placed by adoption in the family. And after that, that boy's name was just as good on a check as his daddy's was. He was heir of all things. He could take out; he could put up; he could fire; he could hire. He could do whatever he pleased to do, because the ceremony of adoption had been made upon his son, and he was clothed and was set in order.
Now, there's where the Church ought to be today. Jesus said, "These things that I do, shall you do also. Ask anything in My Name, I'll do it." Why we scared of that? What's the matter? If Christ has clothed us with the Holy Spirit, and been adopted into the family after being borned again, and been baptized into the body by the Holy Spirit, if it's a true witness of God, ask what you will and it'll be done for you. Then we set like, say, "Oh , well, that was something else."

L-25 Have you received a false spirit? Do you act yet with the things of the world, as we spoke of this afternoon. Do you still love them? Are they in your heart? Have you not been a separated person? Then maybe you haven't been adopted. But once adopted, positionally placed in the body of Christ, you are heir of all things.
Notice, that's what God did to His Son. God didn't ask us to do anything that He would not do. He took His own Son, Who had been obedient. This was just a little before the crucifixion. Remember what He said come down? The Son of man goes to Jerusalem, be delivered in the hands of the Gentiles. Said, "Don't tell the vision to anyone." But while they were standing there, God adopted His own Son, for He overshadowed Him. And the Bible said that He put a robe on Him, insomuch that His raiment shined like the sun in its strength, set Him up before heavenly witnesses, before earthly witnesses. And a voice said, "This is My beloved Son, hear ye Him." Whatever He says, it's just as good as My Word. He was adopted. Jesus said, "All powers in heaven and earth is given unto My hands." There's the adoption of God adopting His Son.

L-26 All the powers. Watch what Jesus said: "If ye abide in Me, My Words abide in you, ask anything that you will, and it will be done unto you." But what's happened? Oh, the Church has went off on some man-made theology and bypassed that. Now, the evidence as the old southern expression used to be, "The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof."
Now, men under supernatural usually become emotional. And they want to start something different. Let a move of God get started, and watch man get all excited and try to impersonate something. Listen close. It's been in every generation. When the supernatural was done in Egypt, a mixed multitude went out. And there was a man by the name of Korah. He said, "Isn't there more prophets? And isn't there more holy men than Moses? Let us have prophets and so forth and holy men."
God said to Moses, "Separate yourself from them, 'cause the earth is going to open up and swallow him in." And did not He say in the last days that there would rise this same thing? "And they would perish in the gainsaying of Korah." That's exactly.
