<TITLE>18. Par 65-68</TITLE>L-65 And sometime it may be that way with many people tonight. You don't realize the joy unspeakable and full of glory. You don't know the power, the Everlasting Life. You don't know how rich you are, until you go to looking in here and finding out that those promises, that was give to those apostles, was give to whosoever will, let him come. That is right. It's all yours freely.
Would you like to receive it? Would you like to be filled with the Holy Ghost, be saved, your sins under the Blood, filled with the Holy Ghost, be baptized in the Spirit, and a translating power in your heart, and go up to meet Him in the air, go out of this building tonight with that blessed assurance? If a car runs over you, what difference does it make? My, it doesn't but just change this old house for a brand new one. So it's moving from an old, broke-up man or woman to a young one that--that'll never die.
It's going to a place where there's no yesterday, and no tomorrow; it's all today. You're there with Somebody that's the same yesterday, today, and forever, the I AM, the eternal. And you're eternal with Him. And there you are, never to be old, never to be sick, never to have a heartache, never to have any disappointments. There you are. It's just you're changing this for that.

L-66 Now, listen, my friends. If you die without the Spirit of Life in you, you cannot go to that place. Listen, as I said in the beginning, death does not change your spirit. It only changes your dwelling place.
I was teaching on that a few nights ago. And I come to this subject on where that Saul, when he had backslid on God... And the Urim Thummim wouldn't answer him, neither would a prophet prophesy and could answer him. He couldn't even have a dream from the Lord. And he went down and had the witch of Endor to call the spirit of Samuel. And Samuel had been dead nineteen years; I just looked it up to find out for sure. He'd been dead nineteen years. And when the witch of Endor called the spirit of Samuel, he hadn't changed his appearance. He was still standing there, thin with a mantle on his shoulder. Not only that, he hadn't changed his life any; he was still the same Samuel and was still a prophet.

L-67 Oh, you say, "Now, that's kind of shady. That--that--that was the witch of Endor."
Well, the Bible said it was Samuel. How about the Mount Transfiguration when Moses had been dead eight hundred years in an unmarked grave? How about that? How about Elijah that went home in a chariot about five hundred years before that? And there they was standing there so real till they recognized them. And they had a human body and they were talking to the Son of God. Hallelujah! God bless your heart, brother.

L-68 Let me tell you, you've got to have life to go there. Without life you cannot rise. You take a seed and put it in the ground and let a little bug got into that seed and kill the germ in that seed, it will never rise. That's exactly right. But if you can keep that bug out of it, it's got a heart; it's got something in it; it'll rise just as sure as the atmosphere gets right around it.
And that it is tonight. If you've the least desire in your heart to receive God, to receive the Holy Spirit, let--get in the right atmosphere, the right mood before God, and life will come into you just as sure. And you'll start rising to translation. Oh, I know what we receive here is just a shadow of the shadows of the shadows. But when you die, the shadow becomes a shadow, the shadow to the shadow, to the strinkle, to the moisture, to the branch, to the lake, to the... Oh, my, it go right on an into Eternal Presence. Then you're there forever.
