<TITLE>23. Par 262-269</TITLE>L-262 Excuse that expression. I was thinking about a mother that makes those little sacks, we used to, for the baby. Some of you old mammies remember it. The little old baby gets to squalling; you take some coffee grounds and some sugar, wrap it up in a sack and let him suck on it, just to pacify him. There is no strength in that. It'll kill him. See? That old caffeine in there, and stuff, a little sweeten to make him swallow it down, it's getting caffeine in him.

L-263 We are tired of such stuff as that. Get back! You're eagles; back to the Word of God! Be burly; nothing can hurt your feelings, therefore you're free from all the scandal of man. Whatever anybody says against you, that just brings more love. Amen. And, quickening Power, caught away into the Heavenlies, a eagle that's done flew above the chickens, way up yonder in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus! Oh!
It was on Philip. That quickened him, caught him away.

L-264   Let's take another man. There was a man by the name of Enoch. Now, he had walked with every Word of God, for about five hundred years. He had a testimony, that, "I haven't one time failed His Word." He got so full of the quickening Power when the Dynamics hit him, on them Mechanics, he didn't even have to die; he just took up Home. Just started walking. He was so... Like Philip, he got so full of quickening Power, instead of going over to the Gaza and going to another place, where, they found him up in the upper coasts there. Instead of that way, he just went, oh, said, "I'm an old man, anyhow. I just got so much quickening Power, I'll just walk right out of the earth."

L-265 That's the same quickening Power that we have right now. See, It will quicken your mortal body. Isn't that right? It's the quickening Powers.

L-266 Enoch, with that perfect testimony, that, "Everything God told me to do, I did it. Everything that I seen He said for me do, I done it." And he become so full of--of Dynamics, or--or Mechanics, until, when the quickening Power struck him, the Mechanics, It just lifted him right up. He walked on out of the earth, into Heaven.

L-267   Now, now notice, on Elijah. After... Look, Elijah, that great prophet, man in his day. Excuse me. Brother, sister, in that day he had busted them painted-faced women, them Jezebels and Ahabs. And stood till... And nobody, looked like, stood with him. And he rebuked, and devoured, and stood out there, and God had taken care of him and helped him in every place. You know, the old fellow got tired one day. He said, "I'm getting old, so I just can't go no further." He was going on, I guess, ninety years old; real old, and walking around there, and he was so full of quickening Power. You know what? He looked across Jordan.
O God! I can almost see the other side. Can't you?

L-268 So full of the quickening Power, until, he seen a chariot hooked over there, some horses of Fire and chariot of Fire, hooked to some tree over there. He just walked across the river and went Home, without even dying. The quickening Power sent, caused a chariot to come down from Heaven and take him up. Even picked off his coat and throwed it back for Elijah. That's right.

L-269   Now, then that fellow picked up that robe, a type of the Church again, see, picked up that robe. Now, he done twice the miracles, which is a type of Christ and the Church. See? Elijah done four; he done eight. See, now, he was--he was double the power, 'cause he asked for it. "Greater things than this that I do shall you do." See? But he was so full of the quickening Power, and everything, till he done all these, double, what Elisha done, more than he did. And notice, he lived a life on up till about eighty or ninety years old, he got old and he--he died. He died, and they--they took him out and buried him.
