<TITLE>22. Par 220-233</TITLE>L-220 But if you have the mind of Christ, Christ expresses Himself through you, shows that it's Him and not... you've not lost your mind.

L-221 Some people, under illusions of things, goes out and becomes insane. Well, that, we know that's wrong. That's the devil trying to impersonate the real thing before it gets here. See? They're always a bogus. See?

L-222 But a real man, and to lose his own thoughts and his own thinking! Not come up blindly like that. No, sir. You come up with your right senses, and Christ takes you over and expresses Hisself. And now, to the world, you're an insane person.

L-223 Now, if you're insane, you're actually insane, then there's nothing, the devil can't take you in complete control. He'll make you do everything contrary to this Word.

L-224 But when Christ takes you over, He'll express that Word right through you, because it's Him. He is the Word! See? And then you can see the expression of Christ. Not some illusion of some sort, but a real genuine Christ expressing Himself right through you. How beautiful!

L-225   Now watch. He said, "Who do you say I am?" He is asking the Church, His twelve. Out of the millions of that day, He asked twelve, His Church.
In the millions in the days of Noah, He asked eight. Uh-huh. See?

L-226 And He said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man, see, where eight souls were saved."

L-227 I don't say there going to be eight saved now. Now don't get that all wrong. I never said that. I don't know how many is be, going to be saved in that, that that's the... that last moment to--to Rapture that little group. It'll be a small group, I'll tell you that. "For strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, but few there'll be that'll find it."

L-228   But when the great ransomed Body through all ages comes up, then that's going to be a great throne there! Revelation 7 express it, "Great number, which no man could number," through all the ages has come up, them that's walked in the Light of the Bible as far as It was revealed to them. And now we know that Wesley had more Light then Luther did. We know Pentecost outshined Wesley. See? Certainly, it does.

L-229 Because, it just gradually let loose, as it did down through the prophets, and so forth, till it was perfectly made known, "the Godhead bodily in Christ."

L-230 And now the Christ in the Church is just being made known. The whole thing is the revelation of God, to take Eve back to her right position again with her Husband. Notice, and God is the Husband of the Church, and the Church is His Bride.

L-231   Now, Peter, when he called, said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

L-232 Now watch. "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona," says, which means, "son of Jona." See? "Blessed art thou, for flesh and blood never revealed this to you. You never learned It from some school. But My Father which is in Heaven has revealed It to you." Notice what He said to him, "Upon this rock..." That's Peter, the predestinated Seed of God that had received this Light, and given the keys to the Kingdom. "Upon this rock of revelation of Who Jesus Christ is," He is the full, manifested God. "Upon this rock..." Not a Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; and Him being the second Person. "Upon this rock I'll build My Church, and the gates of hell will never shake It down, never prevail against It." See? "I'll build My Church upon this rock," a revelation of Jesus Christ.

L-233   Look, Christ in you makes Him the center of Life of the revelation. See? Christ's Life in you makes Him the center of the revelation. Christ, in the Bible, makes the Bible the complete revelation of Christ. Christ in you makes you the complete revelation of the whole thing, see, what God is trying to do.
