<TITLE>12. Par 116-125</TITLE>L-116 I'll turn it right back into your lap. To come to the altar with a dry-eyed confession is a tradition. You should die there to your Sacrifice, as you identify yourself that you are dead. Amen. Buried in Christ, the--the world is dead behind you. And you're to walk in a new life with Christ Jesus, in His resurrection, loving His Word, taking His Word, watch Him identifying Himself in His Word, as giving you the identification that you've passed from death unto life. What a time that we're living in! Yes, sir.

L-117   Now we see that we're living down at the last hours, the believers must accept all the Word.

L-118 Notice, it was not just to get together and talk about it, that all the Jews come together and say, "Now I'll tell you what, tell you, fellows. You know, I believe that Moses is right, because, look, we see God identifying Himself with Moses. Because, we see that Pillar of Fire, we know what happens. We know all the identifications that God has given Moses. It's right. You know, he said, 'We've got to have the blood on the door.' I believe that. But, you know, after all, I believe I'm just about as good as anybody. I--I--I--I'm really a covenant Jew. I've been circumcised and I pay my offerings and tithes into the congregation. Why, even the priest, I eat dinner with him. Well, I'm just as good a man as the rest of you are." That isn't what happened.

L-119   We're not to come together to talk about the Message. We are come together to get in the Message. And the Message is Christ, He is the Word. That's right. We're to get into It, get beneath It. Yes, sir. That's what we're supposed to do.

L-120 He was not responsible for any persons out from under the blood, not one; no matter who he was, he was not responsible. All had to take not only himself, but his whole family. They're only safe when the--the token was displayed.

L-121 We cannot feel safe until this Token is displayed. That's right. You must come under this Token, God's Holy Spirit. And It displays to you Jesus Christ, because It comes and lives in you.

L-122   As I said last night, and--and up in New York, at one of the Messages. If I--if I told you that Shakespeare lived in me, I would do the works of Shakespeare. Cause, I couldn't help it, I'm no more myself, I am dead. Shakespeare and I can't live together in here. Shakespeare was a poet, and I'm a minister, we can't live together. But if I am dead to myself, then, and Shakespeare lives in me, the works of Shakespeare I'll do. The life of Shakespeare in me will be lived out like Shakespeare. If the life of Beethoven lived in me, I would be Beethoven. If the life of John Dillinger lived in me, I would be John Dillinger. That's right.

L-123   And if the Life of Jesus Christ lives in the person, they become identified with Him. It's Christ in you. Not a church member, not a system, but a resurrected Power. It's the Holy Ghost, is a Token upon you, that your life says "amen" to every Scripture. The promise is written in there.

L-124 And you are not yourself no more. You are Christ's. You don't think your thoughts. You don't think your thoughts, you say, "I think." You have no thought coming. The Life that was in Christ is in you. The mind that was in Christ is in you. The works that was in Christ is in you, and Christ Himself is in you. You are dead; your life is hid in God through Christ, sealed in there by the Holy Ghost. You're not your own.

L-125   You're not responsible for anybody. The whole family must be brought into, and the token must be displayed. It had to be. If it wasn't displayed, then it was of none effect. You could believe in it, you could say, "Oh, yes, I believe it." But that didn't do it. It, you say, "Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll put it in a bucket, and I'll sit it over here on the wall. But really, I think, as long as I--as I have it in here, if I had the blood over here." No, sir.
