<TITLE>28. Par -</TITLE>L-961-185 Now, how is he going to take the jawbone of a mule, that'd been laying on that desert and bleached white... And them Philistine helmets was about a inch thick of solid brass. Why, you take that jawbone and hit it against one of them helmets, it'd go to a thousand pieces. You know that. They'd hit that old, dry jawbone... But look there; he stood there with this jawbone in his hand and beat down a thousand Philistines; the rest of them run to the rocks. He said, "Come on, you want some of it too?" still--still holding it. What was it? The Spirit of the Lord came upon him. See?
Therefore, It is the Spirit of the Lord. And when you've got Spirit of the Lord in you to believe for your own salvation, place that upon your family. Say, "I claim them in the Name of Jesus Christ; I claim it. God, I don't know how You're going to make her do it, and how You're going to make him do it, but I believe it. I believe it, Lord. Help my unbelief." Claim it and watch what happens. It'll do it.

L-962-Q-253 253. Will the Bride--will the Bride before Jesus comes, will she have all power of Holy Ghost to perform miracles, raise dead, and so on, as in the latter rain--or is this the latter rain for the 144,000 Jews? Will all ministers have this, are we--or are we just waiting for the coming?
Yes. See, friend, I--I--I am not a theologian. I am not a theologian; therefore, I have to teach all that I know about the Bible from shadows and types. You kind of call me a typologist. But if I can look on that wall, and I've never seen myself; and I look, and I can see that I got a head, and ears, and hands, and--I know something about what I'm going to look like if I ever see myself. See? If I see my reflection in a mirror, I know what I would look like if I could stand off and look at myself.
Now, that's the way I think of the Bible. "All of these things," Romans 26 said, "happened for our examples." We can look back and see what it was. Like the moon reflecting the sun, we know what the sun will be when--if we never see the sun; we can see the moon, and see that it's going to be greater than that. Well, when you see what happened in the Old Testament, it's just a reflection of what happens in the New.

L-962-189 Now, in here, I believe with all my heart I--we are, or this days... If we're not, somebody is; it's got to be. Time has run out; we're at the end. Every... The world...
God made the world in six thousand years, and the seventh thousand He rested. He said a man will never live that time out--a--a year--or--or day--"day you eat thereof, the day you die." Adam--or Methuselah was the oldest man that ever lived in the Bible, and he was 969 years old; and he never lived that thousand years. But the man that's going to live through the millennium, one thousand years, to show that the--that the penalty has been paid... Man lives forever; the day is finished; the time is finished; they're in eternity.

L-962-191 By the way, I got so many letters on my message two or three Sundays ago on the--"The Future Home of the Bride and Groom." That sure hit home somewhere; there's a lot of them. That... It did to me too. I've never got over it.
