<TITLE>31. Par 259-266</TITLE>L-259 "Hold fast. I know them which call themselves... Nicolaitanes, and call themselves Spirit-filled and they're not." There see, there you are. Oh, what a hour is coming, what a dreadful time. God will revenge. "I will revenge," saith the Lord, "I will recompense." And every evil deed will see a just... Everything that you ever done or thought in your life will be held against you there on that great magnetic thing with every evil thought that passed through your mind. Repent, children.
There's only one way to get away from it: come into Christ, and when you go into His lovely five wounded side there, the five precious wounds in His body, when you see that bleeding yonder and will hide in that, say, "Rock of Ages, I am no good; hide me over, Rock of Ages." Feel the precious Holy Spirit, just die out and sail into the body of Christ; rise, to wake to new things; it's a new world around you. The sins that you once loved is behind you. Oh, there's nothing future, nothing present, death, nothing else will ever separate you from that. You're sealed until the day of your redemption by the Holy Spirit. You got the revelation of Who He is. You know in your heart you've passed from death unto Life.

L-261 Watch your works with your hands then. You see? You no more steal; you no more do evil. Your hands are clean from all blood. And you stand, preach the Gospel, say what's right, and live what's right, and do what's right; and the Holy Spirit with you showing signs and wonders every day, God letting you know now, "You're My blessed child and I'm with you. I--I'm right with you. No matter where you're at, I'm with you. I'll go with you through the dark hours and everywhere." Oh, what a--what a Anchor.
I've anchored my soul in the haven of Rest,
To sail the wild seas no more;
Oh, the tempest may sweep o'er the wild, stormy deep,
But in Jesus I'm safe evermore.

L-262 Even death comes singing up around some of these days, and flying like a bee around your head like that, you can say, "O death, where is your stinger?"
As little Sarah wrote the other morning, my little girl setting back there. She was taking notes, her and Brother Collins' little girl, I believe, on what I was going to say. So I was reading the paper, her mother and I; and she said, "The book of revolutions." That's...?... She said... And you know the little story I told at the end about death, you know. You've heard it, having no stinger. Was you here then when that was told? See, death once had a stinger in it, but when...

L-264 Satan wasn't too sure whether that Man was the Son of God or not. You'd see him standing there when... Satan come to Him said, "Well, if you can perform miracles, if you're a miracle-working fellow, you're that Son of God. I'll tell you; it's written in the Bible (See?), that... And--and if--if you are, let me see you perform a miracle. Now, you're hungry; you hadn't eat for forty days, why don't you take that stone and make bread out of it and set down and eat? Let me see you do it, and I'll believe you're the Son of God."
Said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word." Oh, my. He knowed he didn't meet Moses there, didn't he? Moses throwed down the commandments and broke them; but he knowed he met more than Moses.

L-266 Then he took Him up, and he said, "See all the kingdoms of the world? There's the United States; there's Great Britain; there's all of them coming up here in years to come." Said, "They'll every one belong to me; you know that." (That's who rules them.) Said, "They're mine and I'll do with them; I send them to war. I do anything I want to with them. They're mine." Said, "I'll give them to you if you'll just worship me."
Said, "Get behind Me, Satan." He knowed He was going to fall heir to them anyhow in the end, so He said, "Get thee behind Me, Satan."
