<TITLE>12. Par 119-132</TITLE>L-119 It's the same Spirit, that raised Him up, that quickened the true believer to Eternal Life. Now remember, potentially... Now watch, as we are getting out of our time. Notice, "the same Spirit," now, Romans 8:1. Now let's just read that again, in Romans 8:1, and we'll see what that says. All right. And not Romans... I mean, 8:11, I'm sorry.

L-120 In Romans 8:11, "But if..." There is the problem. There's His catch.
But if the Spirit of him (God, the Holy Spirit) that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,...

L-121 Now, there you are, "If the Bridegroom Spirit dwells in the Bride!"

L-122   When God made His first bridegroom, He made the bridegroom first, and he was both man and woman, in spirit; formed him in the dust of the earth, to make him material. And notice when He made Eve, from Adam, He took not another piece of clay, He took from the same piece of clay; the same Word, for Adam was a spoken Word. See? He took from him, and then taken the... He had masculine and feminish spirit. And He took the feminish spirit away from Adam, and placed it in Eve; so it's still part of Adam's spirit, it's Adam's flesh. Then, it was Adam's spirit, the dynamic, that quickened the mechanics of his body.

L-123 So the Bride must also be flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone. Then how is this mortal flesh going to become His flesh? We'll get to it in a minute, see. How is it done? How? What is this great transformation? Notice.
Now if the Spirit of him (God) that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

L-124   Oh, my! The predestinated One, of course, like the Seed laid upon the earth, the One that had Life in them. Many of them were dead; they were just rotten seed; the waters and things burnt them out. But, you know, there was a Seed laying there ready for Life. God knowed It was laying there.

L-125 Now, the predestinated Ones are the first to be quickened by the Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit comes to claim Its Own. Now, this is deep now, and be sure to catch this good.

L-126   Now, as the sun was sent across the earth, not to bring rocks, which was dirt also, to life, it was not to bring all the dirt to life, but was to bring the part of the dirt which was enclosed around a life.

L-127 Not all man will receive Christ. Oh, no. But those which God foreordained Life, is housed around some of the dirt of the earth, that's the One He comes to quicken. They're the Ones.

L-128 That, now, that dirt would lay there in the sun, and say, "Oh, this old sun is so hot!" That rock, say, "This old sun is so hot!" But that little seed, said, "That's what I'm looking for," and it begin to spring forth to life. It quickened that part of the dirt. Because, the sun was sent not to quicken the rock, not to quicken the dirt, but to quicken the life of the seed.

L-129   Now, the Holy Spirit comes now. Of course, It wasn't sent... Why won't all the people receive It? It wasn't sent to them.

L-130 A guy told me, "I don't believe. I don't care what you'd say. If you could raise up the dead, or anything, and heal the sick; and prove It, any way; I still don't believe It."

L-131 I said, "Certainly not. You're a unbeliever. It don't mean a thing to you. It wasn't even sent to you. It's sent to those who will believe."

L-132 The Message is to the believer. To them that perish, It's foolishness; but to them that are in Christ, and part of that Seed, It's Life.
