<TITLE>08. Par 73-83</TITLE>L-73   On Easter morning, not only did He raise, but His beneficiaries raised with Him. He... They were in Christ at His crucifixion. They were in Him at His resurrection. We are His beneficiaries, quickened after being dead in darkness.

L-74 The darkened world of unbelief, where churches and denominations, and so forth, had drawed us out. And there's something in us calling, "Oh, we want God! We're hungering and thirsting for God." We joined the Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, and whatmore, and still there was something wrong, we just couldn't find It yet. And all of a sudden, while we was groping in darkness, the great resurrection came to us in the manifestation of the promised Word of God.

L-75 Like, He was the manifestation of the promised Word of God. "I will not leave His soul in hell, neither will I suffer My holy One to see corruption." He manifested It, every Word of God that was promised to Him. He proved it when He raised on the Easter morning.

L-76   Now, them who were once groping in darkness and wondering around, if they should wash feet on this day, or if they should keep a certain day, or do a certain set of rules, all those things passed away. For, there was a glorious resurrection that defied every man-made thing that man had ever done, every man-made reason.

L-77 There had never been, to that time, a man that could lay his life down and pick it up again. He defied that scientific proof they had, by raising again.

L-78   When they say, that, "Jesus Christ isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever," that, "His Power isn't the same," that, "His Gospel isn't the same," when the Bible says It's the same! God defied every denomination, every creed, and He moved forth with His Holy Spirit, as He promised, and proved it to us, that He is alive.

L-79 We are the benefactors of His resurrection, quickened after being dead in the world, in sin and trespasses. "He has quickened us together with Him, raised with Him, now sitting in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus." His bring...

L-80 His Spirit brings His same Life again on the earth. "If the Spirit of God, that raised up Christ," the body, the anointed body; if the Spirit of God anointed that body in such a way that, when that Seed fell into the earth, He just wouldn't let Him rest there. No. He quickened Him and raised Him up. "That same Spirit," by the same works, by the same Power, by the same signs, "be in you, It'll also raise you up."

L-81   I'd like to read a little Scripture here for you. I'd like for you to turn to another Scripture I got wrote down here. It might help you a little. It's found in the Book of Leviticus, the 23rd chapter, the 9th to the 11th verse. Listen close. In the law, Levitical law, God speaking to Moses. Listen. All these things are types now, and we'll stop here for a few moments to get into this type.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you... come into the land which I give unto you,...

L-82 "Unto the place, the position, that I have given unto you. Now you speak to the children of Israel, that when you get to this certain place that I've promised you I'd take you, when you get there in this land." Now speaking natural here, typing the spiritual.
... and shall reap the harvest thereof (you have received what I told you thereof), then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

L-83   If there would be any holy ritual, it should come forth on the sabbath day, which was the seventh day of the week, which is Saturday. But did you notice, in this memorial, to wave it on the first day of the week?
