<TITLE>15. Par 120-128</TITLE>L-120 All right, here was "voices." Oh, how we need in Jeffersonville thousands of lived voices, the thunder of God thundering out in sweetness, and holiness, purity, undefiled lives, walking around in the earth today without a blemish. Yes, sir, real Christians, that's thunder against the enemy. The devil don't care how loud you can holler; the devil don't care how much you can jump, how much you can do this or shout. But what hurts the devil is to see that sanctified, holy life consecrated to God; say anything to him, call him anything, just as sweet as it can be and move right on. Oh, my. That throws him away; that's the thunder that shakes the devil.
Just like, "Well," you say, "if he could preach like a Billy Graham, or an Oral Roberts, or somebody, a great influential speaker, he'd be..." Oh, no. Sometimes the devil just laughs at that. He don't pay no more attention to that than nothing. You get all the theology--theology you wanted to and all the seminary training, and the devil just set back and laugh at it. But when he sees that life...

L-122 Look at those disciples down there, that maniac child that day with epilepsy, saying, "Come out of him, devil. Come out of him, devil. Come out of him, devil."
The devil setting there, said, "Now, aren't you making a pretty shame of yourself? Now, you see what you're doing? Jesus told you; He commissioned you to go cast me out and not a one of you can do it."
But, brother, when they seen Him come, One come walking quietly (Uh-huh. Oh, my.), He didn't have to say nothing. That devil was already scared right then. He knowed he had to leave (That's right.), 'cause there come a Life, not only a sermon, but a Life. Said, "Come out of him." Oh, my. That done it. Quietly, knowed what He was talking about. He knowed what He was doing.

L-125 Now, "voices," the voices of the seven trumpets, there was voices of the seven stars, seven messengers. But now watch here:
... and seven lamps... before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
"Seven lamps..." Let's draw a little bit here: the throne, the holy place, the congregation. Right here was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven stars, seven lamps, seven messengers, seven Spirits; not altogether meaning that God's in seven Spirits, but seven manifestations of the same Holy Spirit.
Where's the Holy Spirit? Here at the throne, shining out in each church age. This church age is reflecting back this a-way the voices of God, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. See, seven... There was voices and seven lamps on fire, seven Spirits--which are the seven Spirits of God."

L-128 Remember a couple Sundays ago we got to it, the big diamond? But it's cut in many different ways to reflect the fire and lights from it. That's the way, "Jesus Christ is the beginning of the creation of God," Revelations 1. That right? Then when was God created? He is the beginning of the creation of God. And God is eternal. Is that right? But when God was created when a little baby that was conceived in the womb of a mother, a virgin... And she begin to develop these cells within her to bring forth this little baby; that was the beginning of God's creation, "For God was made flesh and dwelt among us and become Emmanuel, God with us, the beginning of the creation of God.
Then in that great Jewel that come from the dust... because He was made of dust. Is that right? He eat food like I do; He eat food like you do. Which, dust of the body, He become calcium, potash, petroleum, cosmic light, but in Him dwelt eternal Light. No wonder the wise men said to the star, "Guide us to Thy perfect Light."
They were just reflecting the Light of One perfect Light. And there He was, the perfect Light of God, beginning of the creation of God. Now, in there was He...
