<TITLE>21. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 When He had died on the cross, He did cry for mercy; He was a man. He was crying for mercy on the cross, but on Easter morning, when He rose up and broke the seals of death and hell and rose again out of the grave, He was more than a man. It takes more than a man to rise from the grave; it takes God to do that. No wonder the poet said, "Living, He loved me. Dying, He saved me. Buried, He carried my sins far away. Rising, He justified, freely forever. Someday He's coming, oh glorious day." Yes, sir. In Him dwelled the fullness of the Godhead bodily. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself."
You believe God's in His universe? Do you believe God is in His Word? Do you believe God was in His Son? Now, the next thing I got here is God in His people.

L-62 Now, we'll see if we can bring Him to His people. God is a Spirit, and He's always used man to manifest Himself on earth. He did it in His Son. He was God was in David. Did you know that? God was in His people.
David, when he was rejected king, went up to the top of the hill, looked back weeping as a rejected king. Five hundred years later, the son of David set on the same hill as a rejected King and wept over Jerusalem. That right?
Joseph had Christ in him, when he was born a spiritual brother. His other brothers hated him. Watch that church today. The other brothers hated him without a cause. He was loved of his father, hated by his brethren. Now, they hated him without a cause. He couldn't help because he was born to see visions and interpret dreams. But they hated him. They do it today, the same thing.

L-63 The devil takes his man, but never his spirit. God takes His man, but never his Spirit. The Spirit that was upon Elijah come up on Elisha, and from Elisha to John the Baptist, and predicted to come again in the last days. See? God took the Spirit out of His Son, sent It back to the church. God takes His man but never his Spirit. The devil takes his man, but never his spirit.
Those two spirits have warred against one another in human flesh, since the beginning of time. That's right, and they'll war on to the end. If you'd just study the Scriptures and watch the way it works, you'll not be lost, if you'll accept Him as your Saviour, and as your Guide to guide you through the Scriptures under--while we're sailing over life's solemn main in your little bark. Let Him come in with you and pilot your ship.

L-64 Now, we find God was in Moses. God was in Elijah. There was Elijah, a man laying back out in the--the cave out there. The Shunammite woman that he had blessed, and she had a baby, and the baby died, and Elijah come on the scene. Elijah was a man of God. When he come in, the baby was laying on his bed. First, Elijah knew that he was a man of God. He didn't brag about it, and pop off about it, but he knew he was a man of God. So he had had've walked on this old stick, and he said, told to Gehazi, "Take that stick and go lay it on the baby." He knew that everything he touched was blessed, because God was in him, if he'd get the woman to believe the same thing...
That's the way the woman touched border of the--of Jesus' garment. Because she knowed He was a godly Man, that God dwelt in His people. And she knew if God was in Elijah, surely He was in Jesus. She knew that...
If we pentecostal people could respect one another like that, knowing that we'd never talk about one another, we'd be brothers, we'd be sisters, there'd never be no disgrace amongst us, if we could recognize one another what we are as sons and daughters of God, and God dwells in His church, in His people. Certainly it is. God's in His people. You believe that?
