<TITLE>14. Par 121-127</TITLE>L-121 How many Christians in here still love the world? If you do, you're not a Christian. You are a professor of Christianity and not a possessor. For when a man once tastes of Christ, he's dead to the things of the world and by no means he has any desire to go back into that.
What does it do? "The life," Paul said, "that I once lived, I live no more. Yet I live; not me, but Christ in me." Why? He raised him from this low level of worldly sin up to a place that we ourselves can look back and see where we come from (Glory.), look back and see where we once lived. Now we live different, What is it? It's the assurance that we are dead and our lives are hid in Christ through God, and are sealed by the Holy Ghost, and raised above those things. Then we are alive with the same evidence that He come back with to prove to us.

L-123 The land is glorious and this is the down payment. This is the earnest of our salvation. It's the first money that holds the contract (Glory.), that holds God's contract. "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Everlasting Life and shall not come into condemnation, but passed from death unto Life." Let off the pressure, brother. Yes, sir. Amen. Do you get it?
Looky, as Elijah that great prophet, a type of Christ, Elisha, the type of the Church, which a double portion of the Spirit come upon the prophet... He walked to the Jordan one day, a type of this day, this government and things they have now, Ahab, Jezebel and so forth, as you remember my Jezebel sermon. Notice, when Elisha following Elijah for a reason... Amen. Where did he take him? To Jordan, to Ramoth-Gilead, up to the school of prophets, and down to Jordan. That's the way He takes you, through justification, sanctification, and die out to receive Life (Amen.), not to a denomination or some creed, but to death to your spirit, so you can be borned again.

L-125 And Elisha... Elijah struck that water, walked across Jordan, and Elisha followed him. And when Elisha returned back to the land again on the other side, he come back with a double portion. Today we follow Jesus to His death, burial, and baptism--death, burial, and resurrection, rather, through baptism. We believe Him; we're die out to the things of the world, confess that we're nothing, baptized in His Name, buried with Him in baptism, raised with Him in resurrection. Our spirits live up above the things of the world; then we're in Christ. Now we got one portion.
When we return from across the death line of Jordan, we'll have another portion: the bodies that we now have, with spirits that we have, have the Earnest, the Holy Spirit that can't die because It's part of God. And the bodies that we live in... "He that eats My flesh and drinks My Blood has Everlasting Life, and I'll raise him up at the last day." Amen. Let off the steam.

L-127 What difference does it make atomic bombs or anything else strike. Let them do whatever they [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... of this one thing that we have Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So what do we care about what the world's got to say. What do we care about pressure. Don't make any difference to us. Why? Because we can let off the steam. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Come where the dew drops of mercy are bright.
Shine all around us by day and... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Jesus the Light of the world.
Now, with our heads bowed, let's raise our hands.
We'll walk in the Light, beautiful light;
Come where the dew drops of mercy are bright.
Shine all around us by day and by night,
Jesus the Light of the world.
