<TITLE>29. Par -</TITLE>L-641-252 But I'm glad that we live in a Kingdom that's not made with hands of men. I'm glad that we're going to a Kingdom that man had nothing to do with. I'm glad that our Kingdom is above. And if our Kingdom is above, we're born from above, then we seek those things which are above, where Christ sets at the right hand of God, oh, where He's not ashamed of us as our testimony. We're not ashamed of Him on this earth, because we are pilgrims and strangers. We're not of this earth; we're borned of the Spirit of God. We're setting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, washed in His Blood, borned of His Spirit, filled with His grace. That's it: misunderstood. But what do we care? We love Him. Don't you love Him?

L-641-253 All right, Teddy, give us the note on "I Love Him," and let's sing it from the top of our voice.
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
Isn't He wonderful? Don't you love Him? Aren't you glad that you're a peculiar, royal priesthood, chosen people, peculiar people, offering spiritual sacrifices, the fruits of your lips, giving praise to Him? I'll sing you a song now; I feel like singing.
I find many people who can't understand
Why I am so happy and free;
I've been filled with the Spirit, there isn't a doubt,
And that's what's the matter with me.
Oh, that's what's the matter with me,
Oh, that's what's the matter with me;
I've been filled with the Spirit, there isn't a doubt,
And that's what's the matter with me.
You like that? Let's all sing it then.
We find many people who can't understand
Why we are so happy and free;
We're filled with the Spirit, there isn't a doubt,
And that's what's the matter with me.
Oh, that's what's the matter with me, (Praise God.)
Oh, that's what's the matter with me;
I've been filled with the Spirit, there isn't a doubt,
And that's what's the matter with me.
Oh, when I get happy, I sing and I shout,
Some don't understand it, I see;
But I've crossed over Jordan to Canaan's fair land,
And that's what's the matter with me.
Oh, that's what's the matter with me, (Praise God.)
Oh, that's what's the matter with me;
I've crossed over Jordan to Canaan's fair land,
And that's what's the matter with me.

L-642-257 Oh, I love that, don't you? Crossed over Jordan to Canaan's fair land. I bid farewell to the world, lifted up above the things of the world, now I'm living in this heavenly atmosphere. Sure I act funny to them buzzards down there. Yes, sir. I'm flying above it. That's right. What do we care? We are living in Canaan's land (Amen. Yes, sir.), eating the new grapes, just having a wonderful time, full of glory, full of power, full of the Holy Spirit. Yes, sir.
Said a Stephen was a man full. Full of what? Full of what? He was full of the Holy Ghost; he was full of power; he was full of wisdom; he was full of might. What'd it all make up? He was full of the Holy Ghost. That's where all these things dwell. That's what the church of the living God is. Aren't you happy for it, Christians? That's rightly. If you're misunderstood, "All that live godly in Christ Jesus shall be misunderstood." They've always been down through the Bible.
Now, what am I trying to say? To you people who speak with tongues, to you who shout, dance in the Spirit, people say, "Oh, it's nonsense," just remember I've went right back and showed you. Right down through the Scripture, they're always misunderstood. Remember, you're in the Scripture, and you're doing that which is right. Stay right with it. God's with you. Stay right in the Scripture. God will take care of the rest of it. Amen.
