<TITLE>35. Par 385-398</TITLE>L-385 She'll be a token to the world. She'll be an ex-... She'll be something to the world that the world can look and say, well, the rest of the world say, "Ah, She's a holy-roller. She's the second cousin. She don't belong to our group." I know. That's a good thing, see. She, She belongs to this Group up here.

L-386   A man said the other day, to me, standing and talking, he said, "Well, what denomination do you belong to?"
I said, "None."
"What?"
"None." I said, "I belong to a Kingdom."
"Well, how do you join that?"
"You don't join it. You are born in it." Uh-huh.
"What Kingdom is that?"
I said, "The mystical Body of Jesus Christ."

L-387 "By one Spirit we are baptized into this Body," born of His Spirit, then we belong to a Kingdom. And our lives are not Americans, we're not Germans, we're not nothing; we are Christians. We are settled, and walk in the Spirit, a love-slave, from the things of the world. And our rights to the world, we've sold out and bought this Pearl of Great Price, and walk and letting the Holy Spirit manifest Itself. That's what His real Church is. That's what you are, or what I am, if we'll let ourself go and serve God, and by His Word, and not by what some creed says.

L-388   Notice, the anointed Man, the Christ Himself here, O God, is made known. But now... Look! But, but now (why?) He has the preeminences. God fully manifested, in Jesus Christ, God's great secret of His revelation.

L-389 This great Light of revelation has always blinded the wisdom of this world.

L-390 In the days of Jesus Christ, when He was here on earth, they--they had blinded them. They said, "Why, you even make yourself God! You make yourself equal with God!" He was not only equal with God; He was God Himself. See, they don't get it. And by the way, some of you might...

L-391   I've heard infidels one time told me that Jesus never did say He was the Son of God. He sure did. He certainly did. You just don't know your Bible. What did He say to the woman at the well? See? What did He tell her?

L-392 "I know Messiah cometh. And when He comes, He'll do these things."
He said, "I am He, and speaks to you."
And to Paul, also, and different ones.
Notice. But now the Church has the preeminence.

L-393   God's great secret has always blinded the wisdom of the world. They can't get it. They just don't understand it. Satan don't understand it. None of the rest of them understands it, but just those who are predestinated to understand it, how God and Christ are One. They'll make Him three every time. See? They certainly will.

L-394   Notice, next, secondly, the manifested Christ in you, the hope of glory. That great, manifested God in Christ; now Christ manifested in you.
We'll hurry.

L-395 Look! What was once God's great secret, great mysterious secret in His mind, is now put in the hearts of the believer, that is, the Body of Christ. What was God's once great secret in His mind, before the foundation of the world, is now made manifest. Think of it! See? Oh, my! Oh, I'm...

L-396 I'm sure we don't, we don't get it. Well, I--I can't see it the way I ought to, and--and I'm sure you don't. See?

L-397   But God's great mystery, what the Eternal God had as a mystery, has now been unfolded in Jesus Christ, then given right down to His Church. What was once in God's mind is now in the Body of Christ. Jesus making love to the Church, His Bride, whispering secrets to Her.

L-398 You know how you tell your wife things, you know, the little girl you're going to marry. You love her so much, you just tell her the secrets, and get her up next to you, and love you and everything. You know how it is.
