<TITLE>09. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 So, when He came descending from heaven, not another three people left down there talking, but they saw the Spirit of God like a dove. That's Who the Spirit was, not the third person talking. Not three Gods, but three offices of the same God. God the Father, in the Pillar of Fire; God the Son, in human flesh; God the Holy Ghost in you, the same God. Jesus said, "That day you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in Me, and I in you, and you in Me." God, trying to get back to fellowship with His creature that He created in the garden of Eden.
He can't disobey His own laws. Man was sinful. When He settled on Mount Sinai, if anyone touched the mountain... must be thrust through with a dart. But when He was made flesh, we could touch Him, now He becomes part of us (see?), to lead us and guide us, fellowship with us again.
Oh, my, my, how scruppled and uncouth that... people take God's Word and make it.
And then, somebody get a little bit of light on it, and run over here and organize and make a organization and fuss with the next fellow. Why don't you just say there's room for us all? Let's all march towards Zion. We're not divided! We are Christians: Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Pentecostal, Oneness, Twoness, Threeness, Assemblies, Church of God, all. We are not divided. We are Christians. When we receive Christ as our personal Saviour, and be filled with the Holy Ghost, we are God's sealed product.

L-31 Ephesians 4:30, says, "Grieve not the Holy Ghost whereby you're sealed until somebody makes you mad. Well, for two or three years... Until you disobey God once..." No. You might find that in the old Ladies Birthday Almanac, but you don't find it in God's Word. "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption."
The eternal destination is decided by God, and then you're sealed in there. That's the way He did Abraham. Abraham believed Him and he was... imputed to him for righteousness, then He give him the seal of circumcision as a confirmation, "And I have done it! You're My property!" Amen. That's it.
Now, Genesis the 12th chapter: not, "If you will... ", "I have."

L-32 Now, let's go to Genesis the 15th chapter: that's where He confirmed the covenant to Abraham. (Now listen close.) He confirmed the covenant, or signed the contract with Abraham, in the 15th chapter of Genesis.
Now, we find out that Abraham said, "Lord, what will You give me, seeing that I go barren..." He's getting to be an old man; this was many years later. He said, "... seeing that I go barren and the heir of my house is this Eleazar of Damascus. What will You give me?"
And God told him to take a she goat of three years old, a heifer of three years old, and his sacrifices, and a sheep three years old, ram, and to go up and split those sacrifices open, and took a pigeon and a turtledove. (Can you hear me, say, "Amen?" [The people reply, "Amen!"--Ed.] All right. I'll be... I want you to get this now.)

L-33 Now, He's going to confirm this covenant to Abraham, or sign the contract with him. He's already told him, "I'll give it to you." That's a promise. Now, He's going to sign it and prove how He's going to do it. So Abraham done all these things, and he watched the sacrifices, kept the birds off of them until the sun went down. They're not... The sacrifice is not to be contaminated, you know. So, he kept the birds off till the sun went down. And when the sun went down (now listen), a deep, horrible darkness of sleep came upon Abraham. You remember that? That represents death to every man. And before him was a smoking furnace. Every sinner deserves to go to hell. But beyond that went a little white Light. See?
Every man dies the death of separation, and hell is his doom. But beyond the reach of that went a little white Light. Watch them. They went in between those sacrifices; in between the she goat, the heifer, the ram. He took and went in between them, confirming to Abraham what He was going to do.
