<TITLE>04. Par -</TITLE>1L-148-25 Revelations chapter 12 does not pertain to the Bride. Revelations chapter 12 (I haven't looked it up but I know it), it's the woman standing in the sun with the moon under her feet. The moon represented the law; the woman represented Israel, the church; and the twelve stars in her forehead was those twelve apostles, twelve church ages, and so forth, which just passed. See? And the sun was at her head. Which you see, the moon is a shadow of the sun, which the law was a shadow of good things to come. And that woman is Israel, not the Bride.
Now I won't spend too much time, 'cause I've got to get them done.

1L-148-Q-378 378. Romans 7:14-18, "We know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I would do--not: for what I would, that I would not; but what I hate, that I do. If then I do that which I would not, I (c-a-n-) un--unto the law, consent to the law, that it is good. Now then, it is no more I that doeth it, but sin that dwelleth in me." This I cannot understand.
Well, they wrote out the Scripture; that's Paul speaking to the Romans. Now, he said... Let me just kinda polish it up so you can see. He said, "In me is two persons: right, one wants me to do; wrong, the other wants me to do. And every time I start to do right, then wrong hinders me."
How many of you people on the interviews this afternoon has run that same thing in this morning (See?), same thing? I spoke on it this morning, temporarily.

1L-148-28 You are an outward man which is controlled by six senses; you are an inward man controlled by one sense which is faith. And this faith disagrees with all six senses if the six senses doesn't agree with faith. But one is contrary to the other. Now, as long as the six senses agree with the faith, wonderful; but when the six senses disagrees with faith, then leave the six senses alone.
Now, for instance here, Jesus made a statement, a promise. The inside man says that's true; the outside man reasons that it can't be true to you; then ignore the outside man and accept the inside man. Now, that's the same thing that Paul's speaking of. He was sold under the law to carnal sin. Every one of us is the same. That's the reason we are--have the troubles we do, of married four or five times, and this, and that, and the--all kinds of sin, and adulteries, and everything else along in our lives, is because of those things. We are carnal, and that part must perish; but then, inside, we are a spirit man, soul inside, and that's faith in God's Word; then we bring our outside body under subjection to the Word by faith, by accepting what God said.

1L-149-30 How can I take a cocklebur and make a grain of wheat out of it? It's impossible for me to do it. The only way it can be is because inside that cocklebur has been transmitted from a cocklebur wheat--a cocklebur to a germ called "wheat life." Then you bury that cocklebur, and it'll produce a grain of wheat (That's right. See?), because there has been a life of wheat put in the cocklebur. And the life of the cocklebur has been taken out; but the nature of the cocklebur is still sticky (See?), and it will be until this new life has fully been developed out of the ground and raised up again. When it comes forth, then it's no more cocklebur, but wheat--but wheat. But while it's here on earth and the--in the--out of the earth... And a cocklebur, it's still sticky, but it's got the nature on the inside of it of wheat.
And as long as you're in this life, you're going to be sticky and have a carnal nature that's going to bother you as long as you live; but the inside of you, you're borned again. And when you're raised up, you're in the likeness of Christ and all the sin is gone from you. See? That's--that's the thing.
