<TITLE>11. Par 103-112</TITLE>L-103 For, you're not your own; you are dead. "You yourself are dead, and your life is hid in God through Christ, and sealed by the Holy Ghost." How are you going to get away from that? I think we need a revival. "Our lives are dead." We are dead; your own thoughts. You think pure thoughts. Them old worldly thoughts that leads you off, you're dead to that. "And your life is hid in God through Christ, and sealed by the Holy Spirit." What a position! What a secure! Oh, my! How long, till the next revival? "Until the day of your redemption." Ephesians 4:30, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the day of your redemption." What a secure feeling, knowing and watching the Holy Spirit change your nature from a vile person. Amen. Then we know we've passed from death unto Life, we see the Holy Spirit living in us, His Life.

L-104 Paul said, "The life that I once lived, I live no more. Oh, not me, but the Christ that lives in me!" That's it, he had passed from death unto Life, and Christ was alive in him. Safely secured! Christ was the One guiding the ship; Paul just had to sit still and obey Him.

L-105   Notice, God will make our bodies so obey Him, that He said in Saint John the 6th chapter, "He that eats My flesh, and drinks My Blood, has everlasting Life, and I will raise him up at the last day." Think of it, our bodies obey when we have no more control of it, and it turns back to a spoonful of dust, God will speak to that body and it'll rise up again in the likeness of the resurrected Jesus Christ. What are you worrying about this? If it's in the hands of God, let go, amen, for He will raise it up, last day. He promised to do it, that's THUS SAITH THE LORD. It's written in His Word. What are you scared about this then, this little old ship? He is in it.

L-106 If He isn't, don't leave tonight until He comes in. It's a dangerous thing to try to sail without Him. You'll be sunk, sure.

L-107 But you can't sink. If you sink, He'll raise you up again, so what difference does it make? The Eternal Life, God Who can make all creation obey Him. Oh, I love that old church song:
The winds and the waves obey His will.
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!

L-108 Everything has to obey Him. All nature has to obey Him. He's the Creator of nature. Amen.

L-109   After the discip-... disciples found theirself at the end, it must have dawned on them. After they seen they couldn't do nothing about it, it must have dawned on them, "Say, we're in an awful shape here! Oh, I'm going to die. I don't want to drown. This..."

L-110 One of them must have said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Did it ever dawn on you, that He's laying right there? Here we been talking all about Him, testifying about Him, about the great works, and claiming Him to be the Messiah, and here He is right here with us." Oh! Oh! Glory! Oh, what a feeling!

L-111   Did you ever think you was at the end of the road? About eight months ago when I saw a vision at home, and you know about it, Sirs, What Time Is It? When I seen that, heard that blast go off in the vision, seen seven Angels come, grab me. I told you all, "This is probably the end of the road." I went to my wife, and I said, "Honey, this may be my end. I don't know." How many has ever heard the tape? Well, sure, you know. See? I said, "It's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Something is fixing to happen, I know not." And then I went to her, and I said, "Sweetheart, I'll tell you what I want you to do now. If this is my end, God has showed a vision."

L-112 He don't always tell you what it is. He never told the--the prophets of the Old Testament, or New Testament, what it was. Many times, 'less He wanted them to know, they just wrote down, see, so it wasn't none of their business. It's God doing something.
