<TITLE>15. Par 60-63</TITLE>L-60 Look here, another thing I might nail this down with: Elijah and Elisha was always a type of Christ and the church with a double portion. "The works that I do shall you also; greater than this shall... I go to My Father... When I go to My Father, greater, or more of it, you'll do."
When Elijah called Elisha, when God spoke to him in the cave with a still small voice, he took his robe and went down and seen that young prophet going through the field with a ox. He knowed how to plow a straight row. So he took his robe and throwed it over him. He must've took it back. He was baptized (You see?), with the spirit that was on Elijah. He had one portion. He was called to be a prophet. Then when he went to Jordan with him, and he crossed over Jordan with one portion. When he come back he had two portions. Glory to God.
When the Holy Ghost comes upon us today, you get one portion. When we cross the Jordan of death and come back in the resurrection, we have both a spiritual body and a physical body raised with Him. (I hope I'm not deafening you.)

L-61 Oh, but brother, do you see what I mean? We are already risen. We're under... [A prophecy is given--Ed.] Hallelujah. Raising with Him, setting now. Where was you? How many Christians in here? Hold up your hands. As Christians, do you look back and see where you first come from? That shows you were dead once. You wouldn't have come to a meeting like this. You wouldn't have--you wouldn't have set in a hot building like this. You wouldn't have spent your money and crossed the country. You'd have went to some honky-tonk or something. Why? You were dead. It was your nature. You were a sinner by birth.
But Christ come back and said, "I'll not leave you comfortless. I'll give you the earnest of it. I'll send the Holy Ghost upon you, (Oh, my, there you are), which is the earnest."

L-62 And today we find ourselves with the world under our feet. People think we're crazy. Don't you know the whole thing belongs to us? How can you buy peace with money, buy love with money? That's what the nations are trying to do. Joy with money... "Go down at the drugstore and get me a quarter's worth of joy. Yes, sir. I can use it." You can't do it.
Why? It's a gift of God. It comes from God, and it's free to His children that's in the refuge of Christ to those who have risen with Him in heavenly places. Right now we are seated with Him, in Him. "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous runs in it and are safe." What fellowship to be in it... Glory.

L-63 I'm a Pentecostal-Baptist. Yes, a Baptist with a Pentecostal experience. Why? I can--I've accepted that evidence. I have received my Lord. I see where once... I looked in the Bible here, and it said different things. I said, "Oh, well, the church says, 'Well, that was for another day.'"
"Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel. These signs shall follow them that believe."
"That's a mistranslation," and all these other things. There's something wrong with it, and it caused me to be an unbeliever in it. But one day (Hallelujah.), I died out to that thing and become alive in Him through the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And tonight I'm resurrected in Him, raised up above unbelief. I believe every word of it. I believe it's so. I've seen Him working, proving it just exactly the way He was here on earth the first time, so is He today, as He promised He'd be in the evening time. We are now seated with Him in heavenly places. Let off the steam. There's don't need to be all tore up about everything. What's the use? I've been tore up.
After they'd followed His instructions? Yeah.
