<TITLE>25. Par 270-278</TITLE>L-270 Same in the days of Elijah. Elijah, even to his bones, where that reflection... Reflector of God in his body being made manifest the Word of God. They laid a dead man on it, he sparked to life again. We are flesh and bone of Him, as long as we are the Bride of Christ. Do you believe that? All right. He died for us, and we died to ourselves and are buried in His Name, that we would "no more be of the world, but in Him," of which both the family in Heaven is named after Jesus Christ. That's Ephesians 1:21. For both Heaven... the family in Heaven. What's the family in Heaven named? Jesus. What's the family on earth named? Well, that's the house of God where the Blood's at. Is that right? That's the door, that's the gate, that's the place He put His Name, and the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us. It's the Word reflecting and sparking off the age that you're living in. That's what He was, that's what Moses was, that's what Jacob was, that's what the rest of them was, sparking off that Word of God, the reflector that God was reflecting Himself. And come to that perfect image of God, Jesus Christ, God's Masterpiece; was struck that He might take the rest of them for a Bride that's been reflecting Him.

L-271   Moses was in Him. Joshua was in Him. And if you are in Him, you was in Him before the foundation of the world, the family of God; you suffered with Him, you died with Him, you went to the cross with Him, you raised with Him; and now you're still with Him, setting in Heavenly places, reflecting the Message of the age to the world, the Light of the world. "Ye are the Light of the world," but if it's hid by a denominational bushel basket, how are, they going to see It? For your traditions, you make the Light of no effect! By trying... You denominationals, trying to keep the Light away from your church; you won't go in, neither will you let them. Amen.

L-272 Let's just stop. My, I got too much here. We--we could go on... Oh, my! Five minutes we got.

L-273   You see who the door is? Where did God put His Name? In Jesus. How do you get in His Name? How do you get in there? By being baptized in there! How? By water? By Spirit! "One Lord, one faith, one baptism." That's Holy Ghost baptism.

L-274 The water baptism just put you in fellowship with the people, that you recognized that you have accepted Christ. That's the Truth. But it's Spirit baptism. I can call the Name of Jesus over you and baptize you, that doesn't make it so.

L-275 But when once that Holy Spirit really... genuine Word comes into you (the Word, Jesus), then, brother, the Message is no secret to you then; you know It, brother, It's all lit up before you. Hallelujah! Praise be to God! Amen!
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me,
And purchased my salva-...
Dear God, I pray that You will heal these people, Lord, and make each one of them well. In Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.

L-276 Oh! Love! Oh!
E'er since, by faith I saw that stream
Thy flowing wounds supplied, (from that Masterpiece)
Redeeming love has been my theme,

L-277   How can you... God is Love. "He that loveth is of God," divine, holy love, not dirty love; clean, pure, holy love, love of God the Word. "Thy laws have I hid in my heart, that I sin not against Thee," oh, my, that David crying out. Isn't He wonderful? Don't you love Him?

L-278 Now, there is a Way, a pure, holy Way, a only meeting place that God will meet you. Not because you say, "God, now, I'm a good Methodist. I'm a good Baptist. I'm a good Pentecostal." No! Because that you are in Jesus the Word, the part of the Word that's being manifested to today, this day's Message; not Luther's, Wesley's, Pentecostal; but your Jesus, the reflection, that has come up into this. You can't go back to that, that's adding leaven to your holy Bread, that, "Man shall live by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, in Its season."
