We have eight words up there, on the white board; promise, sanctification, redemption, salvation, preservation, perfection, adoption and glorification.

The first one is, "the promise". That is what is commonly known as salvation. When you "receive the Lord Jesus Christ," what you receive is the promise. You receive the promise that you will be glorified, and we see, that there are eight steps, and glorification is the eighth step.

Going backwards, the first word is glorification. This process involves our whole being. This is what happened to Jesus, after He was resurrected from the dead. The adoption of our body means, that this dense, natural body, that ties us to the earth realm or the soul realm, is going to be converted into a body that can, at will, go back and forth between this realm of appearance and the realm of the Kingdom of God; the invisible realm of the heavens. This is what the Zadok Priesthood does, and we are told in the Book of Ezekiel, that they had to change their garments, when they came out amongst the people.

That means, that you cannot go into the Most Holy Place, where God is in an earthly body. We know that Jesus took on different forms, after He resurrected. When the whole process is completed, and our body is glorified, we will be able to take on many forms. I do not even know what that means. I just know it is a very vague thing that I am saying to you. We will be able to go in and out, up and down on Jacob's ladder, back and forth from the realm of the soul, into the realm of the spirit, with impunity. It is not going to be illegal. It is going to be legal, and there will be no judgments associated with it. We will be privileged to go before the throne of God at will. Before that, comes the adoption of the body, and before that, comes the perfection of the soul.

There are three processes that involve the soul. The Lord will work upon our soul in these three processes. I want you to know, that I do not believe that He works them consecutively, one after the other. I believe it is done simultaneously, all at the same time.

The three processes are (1) Salvation or rescue, rescue from the influence of Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, , (2) Preservation which makes your soul a defensed city against the wicked thoughts of Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, , which want to seduce you, to agree with him, cause you to sin, and produce evil spirits, and (3) Perfection of the soul which happens, when your soul is joined to the glorified soul of Jesus Christ. At this point, you are no longer just defensed against thethoughts of Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, but you cannot even hear them any more because he is swallowed up.

These are the three things, that are happening to your soul, and really they are all salvation. I do not want to get too complicated, but when your soul is perfected, it is completely saved. We can say, that the salvation of your soul is in three stages. It starts with your being rescued, clutched, snatched out, of the dominion of Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, and given the power of God, to start opposing the thoughts, that Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, impulses into your mind, to start saying, "No I am not going to do it, Lord Jesus help me." The ability to stop doing that requires power, spiritual power.

The second step, is that Jesus Christ, does a work in you. It is nothing you can do, you see. Jesus Christ does a work in you, whereby you become a defensed city. Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, is still sending thoughts toward you, but they are bouncing off the walls of your city. The Bible likens our soul, to the cities of ancient times. In the time of the imaginary King Arthur for example, you know, there was a wall around the city, and a moat and everything like that.

When we are preserved, we can still hear the thoughts of Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, . As we learned in the message last week, if there are curses operating in our life, we could desire Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind's suggestion very badly because of a weakness in us. I believe the weakness is almost always a curse, that even though we have, had, imparted to us, the power to withstand Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, 's suggestion, we still do it. We can still slip at preservation. Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, cannot get us, but he can cause us to sin. Israel cannot be cursed, when she is preserved, but she can be seduced. When we agree with the seducer, then we lose our protection.

The last stage of the application of the power of God, to the soul, is perfection of the soul. That happens when Jesus Christ joins His glorified soul life, to your soul life, swallowing up Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, and you would not even hear his wicked voice any more. We are talking about being clutched out of the hands of Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, and being given power, to say, "No, Satan, the unconscious part of my carnal mind, I resist you." We are talking about, being surrounded by the armor of God, whereby, if we utilize what God has given us, there is no reason for us to sin.

Now, over here on salvation, we have the power to say, No to Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, but very often, we are not strong enough to implement that power. We still sin, and we have deliverance and healing. At preservation, there is no reason to sin, except that you willingly go over to Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, . If you truly desire to remain righteous, when you are preserved, you have enough power to reject the voice of Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, .

The third stage, is the total joining of Christ to you, so that you do not even hear Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, 's voice any more. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Salvation of the soul is in three stages, ending with the expression, perfection.

Then, God is dealing with our spirit over here. We have sanctification of the spirit, which means, when the Spirit of God enters into the Living soul that died, that died, of which you are a member, He gives you an opposing view. He shows you, that your thoughts have been unrighteous, and the way He does that, is by telling you, what is righteous. You now have a choice. You know what is righteous, and you know what is unrighteous because the Word of God tells you, what is righteous. He then proceeds, by the power of His Spirit, to separate the righteous thoughts, to one side and the unrighteous thoughts, to another side, so that you can say, "I choose righteousness, I choose righteousness. I reject that thought, Satan, the unconscious part of my carnal mind, . The Word of God says, it is illegal, and it is unrighteous."

The end of this process, (everything is a process) is the redemption of our spirit, and the word, "Redemption" means, to be purchased. Our human spirit is that part of us, which existed in the heavens with God, before the foundations of the earth. I know that we have spoken about this in another message, that God literally sold us to Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, after Adam fell under the influence of the Serpent, separated from God, and died. Then the fragments, or seeds, of righteous Adam’s life fell down into a lower realm where they were encased in earthen souls which were engraved with the Serpent’s nature.

Then God sent Jesus to redeem the fragmented spirit of fallen adam without destroying the souls that resulted from their illegal descent. God is making a way for us, to keep our fallen soul and still be righteous. Is that not incredible? Do you realize what that is saying? God was speaking to me about it today. It is like saying, we are going to be attacked with a disease germ, but the disease germ, cannot hurt us because what is in us, is going to devour the disease germ.

We were righteous with Adam in the heavens, without a body or a soul. We fell down into this realm of appearance and became unrighteous because Adam fell under the influence of the Serpent, and now Jesus, by His spirit, is adding Himself to us, but He is not being polluted. He is adding Himself to our unrighteousness, thus purchasing us back, purchasing our spirit back, making our soul righteous, by adding Himself to it.

He has worked this incredible miracle. It should be impossible to make our fallen soul righteous because the soul realm is the realm of sin, but God did it. He did the impossible. We are a spiritual being, that is wrapped around by a soul and a body which are, by definition, by the inherent construction of our state of being, unrighteous. God has come to us and made us righteous, by purging the sin out of our fallen soul. It is unheard of, in our natural realm. It is the same thing as saying, "I am not going to execute the murderer because I have the power to change his heart."

God does not have to burn all these people in hell because He has the power to make their heart pure. This is the miracle of miracles. We are sin. The natural man is sin, by definition in the Scriptures. We are the exact opposite of God. He is righteous. We are unrighteous, but instead of destroying us, He has made unrighteousness, righteousness. It is unfathomable, you cannot even understand it with the human mind. We are still going to fulfill our function. We are still going to appear in the realm of appearance, and we are still going to appear in the realm of the soul, but we will not be unrighteous any more. Incredible. I do not even understand it, I just know it is true. It is a miracle.

Sanctification and redemption are for our spirit, which existed before the foundations of the earth. Salvation, preservation, and perfection, are for the soul, which was given to us as we appeared in this realm of appearance, to prepare our soul for adoption, and the whole process, all together, is called the glorification of the living soul that died, of which we are members. Therefore, Jesus Christ is the redeemer of our spirit, but He is the savior of our soul. Every word in the Bible has its own meaning. They are not interchangeable. Glory to God.

Today the message is salvation. I think we are going to touch on just about everything, up on the board, Lord willing. Salvation is the Greek word, "Soteria," and it means, rescue or safety from both the physical and moral condition of sin. It means, deliverance, health, salvation. It is from the root, "Soza," which means, to save, protect, heal, preserve, make whole. I do not know about you, but I have heard this definition before, and I never knew that being made whole meant, that Jesus had to be added to me.

This is where a lot of the church world really gets messed up. They think that it is a healing process to the natural man; that the natural man in his condition, is going to get a shot of penicillin, and he is going to be okay. Now, there is no good thing in the natural man. Our only hope, is that Christ is joining Himself to us. Being made whole means, literally made whole. There is a big chunk missing from us, and that is the positive part of the creation; the Lord Jesus Christ. We are the negative part. You know that every atom, in the nucleus, has positive and negative charges. That is a physical reality of the science of physics.

We have mentioned in these meetings, that each and every one of us, is a spiritual cosmos, within ourselves. We can be likened to an atom, and there has to be a positive and a negative charge within us, to make us complete. We are the negative charge. We are waiting for Christ Jesus, to join Himself to us and be our positive charge, so that we can be a balanced atom, in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, fully fit for the Master's use. Hallelujah.

Now, there are three words translated, "Salvation." In the Greek there is one and in the Hebrew there are two words . One is, "Yshuwah," and it means, "something saved, that which is saved, delivered". It means, "victory, prosperity, health and welfare". Then we have, "Tshuwah," which means, rescue; national, spiritual or personal.

Then, we also have the word, "Savior," which is yet another word in the Hebrew, and he is the one who aids, the one who helps. If you recall our studies, in the Book of Genesis, God said, that Adam needed a helpmeet, and the definition of the word, "Helpmeet," s an "aid". When we looked it up in Webster's dictionary, it meant, something like a wall. The definition of "aid", is a "wall", that would wrap around something, that would make it a defensed city.

As we move into preservation, we become a defensed city, and what is defending us, is the Spirit of God. Now, He is being built into us. First, we get the Holy Spirit, which is the promise, and as the Son emerges forth in us, His life is literally built into us. This is a process. We are getting the defensed city, the walls of the city are being built in stages.

I used to know somebody, and I am not knocking them. It is just that you look back on your earlier years, and sometimes it is humorous. They used to tell me, that they put on the armor every morning. I know several people that did that. They woke up in the morning, and they went through a ritual, and they put on the helmet, and they put on the breastplate. That does not put the armor of God on you, brethren. I am sure that, if you believe it, God honored your faith, because it is a beautiful thing to think. You cannot put the armor of God on you, by speaking it on, every morning. It has to be built in you, through the process of the Son of God, being birthed in your spiritual being, and this is the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We now know that spiritual armor can be verbally applied, by faith.

Message Continued

The Lord Jesus Christ said, He came to finish the work of the Father. What is that work? He is building Himself as a spiritual womb in each and everyone of us, which is to be the place that the glorified Jesus Christ will join with us. That is the work that He is doing. Man wants to be in charge, but you are not in charge, fallen adam, I am sorry, it is the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. All you can do is submit.

I would like to point out to you, that the Greek word, translated, "Salvation," which is Strong's #4991, is feminine, and the Hebrew word, "Yshuwah," translated, "Salvation," is feminine also. However, I could not find a sex, in Strong's or in Gesenius, for the word, "Savior." They did not mention, what sex it was. Now, this is my guess, brethren; I am making this very clear, that I am just guessing, I do not speak Hebrew. I would guess, that if there is a Hebrew scholar anywhere, they would find out, that, "Yasha," (savior) is feminine, and the reason, neither Strong's nor Gesenius, puts it in, was that they could not deal with the savior, being feminine. They just could not understand it, so they did not put down, what the sex was.

What I am suggesting to you, is that the Lord Jesus Christ has two aspects to His life, and that is, soul and spirit. We have had many teachings, on the high forms of spiritual life being both sexes. The Lord Jesus Christ is male and female, His soul is female, and his Spirit is male. He is the savior of our soul, and the way He is saving our soul, is that He is joining Christ Jesus, His spotless perfected, glorified, soul to us, to our sin-ridden cursed soul, and Christ Jesus, His soul, is not going to be contaminated. The result of it is that our sin-ridden, cursed soul is going to be swallowed up by Christ Jesus, His spotless soul, and Christ Jesus, His soul, will be our soul. Christ Jesus, the God in the midst of us, is our "Savior," and He is feminine in relation to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is His Father. Hallelujah. Glory to God.

John 20:17, Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. KJV

Jesus ascended to the spiritual level of "Father", and became the "Father of Christ Jesus", the Savior of mankind, who dwells in the spiritual earth of His people.

On the other hand, the Greek word, "Messiah," which is Strong's #3323, meaning Christ is male, the sex is male. Messiah, refers to the spirit. The Hebrew equivalent, is Strong's #4899, and it means, the anointed one, a prince, consecrated by anointing, more fully, the anointed of Jehovah. It implies holiness, and it is used to refer to the Christ. It is male. Christ or Messiah refers to the Spirit of God. It is male. Savior or Yshuwah or salvation refers to the soul of God, and it is female.

I do not know about you, but I have had some contact with Jewish Christians, and they call Jesus "Yeshuwah HaMashia." Now, "Yeshuwah," is the word that means, salvation, and that is the soul, and "HaMashia" is just a little different. When I found the word, "Christ," in the Hebrew, it was, "Mashia." "Ha" means, "The", "Yshuwah Hamashia," means, the Savior of my soul, my Christ. The Savior of my soul who lives in the earth of mankind, and is, therefore, female to the glorified Jesus Christ above, who is now the Father of us all. Christ Jesus is also the Redeemer of my spirit. That is what it is saying. Christ Jesus is saving our soul, and He is saving our spirit. Glory to God. He is a Savior and He is a Redeemer, our regenerated potential to join with the Father, the only one who possesses true immortality. Hallelujah.

1 Tim 6:14 ...until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
             15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
             16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. KJV

This word, Christ in the Hebrew, which means, anointed, is from a root, which means, to draw the hand over anything, and it means, especially to lay colors on anything. We had a teaching about the colors, when we did the study of the creation, that the glorified Jesus Christ, who is now one with the Spirit of God, is likened unto a bright, white light. When you put that light through a prism, when you break it down, when you break down, pure, white, light, you get the colors of the rainbow. Joseph's many-colored coat, was a type of the life of Christ Jesus, who represents God in the earth. Colors; the fullness of the colors, typify the life of Christ, in another form. The glorified Jesus, the Father, is bright, white, light, and Christ Jesus, the Son, is a spectrum of the rainbow, which is still Christ in another form. Hallelujah.

The bright, white light is not visible. This room is filled with light. Well, you cannot see the light. What the light does, is illuminate everything in the room. The colors you can see. When Jesus Christ took another form, a form other than bright ,white, light, He took a form, whereby He could be seen. That was the whole purpose of taking another form. This word, which is the root of the word, "Christ," means," to lay colors on anything," and we, the soul man, are in the process of having the glorified Jesus Christ, lay His colors upon us. The bright, white, light of the spiritual life of the glorified Jesus Christ, is being layered upon us, in the form of colors because He wants to be seen. Christ Jesus, the Son, is the visible image of the glorified Jesus Christ, who is now the Father. And when Christ Jesus is fully mature in us, and fully joined to His Father, fallen mankind shall be restored to righteous Adam’s first estate, even immortality.

The definition continues to say, that this word means, especially to anoint with oil, and fully expressed, it means, to consecrate anyone king, and we shall be kings and priests. Remember, the little diagram I drew for you one Sunday? I said that we are a three-fold creation. We are the soul man, and the Spirit of God is laying on top of us, and then the Son. We started out as a soul man. This was our soul, and the Holy Spirit came from God as a gift. It came from outside of us. Remember, when the floods came, the waters came up from the under the earth and down from the heavens above. When the anointing comes upon you, it comes from within you and then it is poured out upon you. The rains of God are from within you, and from outside of you.

The promise comes from the heavens, and it covers the soul. It layers over the soul man, and the result of this over layering, is that the Christ is birthed in a man, and then the Lord Jesus Christ comes, and He makes the third layer. We are a three-fold creation, and when this happens to you, brethren, you cannot be destroyed. We are a three-fold creation. This is the completed soul man. They are twisted together.

The creation is being made in stages, one at a time, and we are being over layered with the many colors of the Spirit of God, that is Christ, that is Messiah. Our soul is being saved because Christ has come and over layered it, and then the Son has been born, and He has over layered it, and the end of the process, includes the adoption of our soul, and the glorification of the entire creation, spirit and soul.

What does it mean to be saved? Well, I guess I touched on that already. 1 Peter 1:9, "Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your soul." So there is a Scripture for you. It is your soul that is being saved, and it is the end of your faith. What is the beginning of your faith? The promise. The beginning of your faith, is that you receive the promise. What a tragedy, that the church world is filled with the error, that you get the promise, and you have got it all. How terrible. You are at the very beginning, of a very long process, that is going to end in your glorification, which is the importation of your spiritual body . Hallelujah.

Well, the Lord is going to straighten it all out. How is our soul being saved? Psalms 3:8 says, "Salvation belongs to the Lord." You cannot keep your own soul alive. You cannot do it. There is a doctrine in the church today, which grieves me. It makes me very sad. There are people, that are looking for the enabling. They are looking deep within themselves believing that they were born with everything that they need to save their soul. These people are believers, who believe that they were called from before the foundations of the earth, that Jesus Christ was the first, as well as the last, Adam, and that the human spirit, alone, without being fertilized by the glorified Jesus Christ, above, has the potential to birth the Christ, their salvation, within themselves.

They have made the error of looking within themselves, for what they call the enabling. They believe that if they could just find....what they are saying, is that their human spirit; if they could just find, that part of themselves that was with God, from the beginning, by thinking about it, or believing it, that the Christ will come forth within them and save their soul. They do not have the revelation, that we are only a partial creation, so something has to be added to us. It is very sad because they are denying the power of God, and the Scripture says, that he who denies the power of God, is an anti-Christ.

We pray for everybody, that is caught up in that deception, that they should receive this glorious revelation, that the Lord Jesus Christ, is still in the process of creating us, and that it is His work, and we do not have to call anything forward, by any form of mind control. All we have to do, is submit ourselves to His love, by fearlessly confronting our sin nature, and resisting it, and study to show ourselves approved.

The same group of people, also have laid hold of prophesies, which say, that the day is coming, that there will no longer be, the necessity for a teaching situation like this. They have laid hold of it, and they have stopped teaching. Well, that day will not come brethren, until all of you are anointed to teach. You see, there will always be teachers as long as there are are believers who desire to learn, and the teachers will teach until all of the students become teachers, at which time, classroom situations like this will cease to exist.

The whole five-fold ministry is for everybody. We are all going to have everything that God has to offer, so when you no longer need to be taught, the chances are, you are not going to find yourself in a group with other people, that do not need to be taught. The chances are, that you are going to find yourself up here teaching. There are so many people out there, that need to be taught. Why in the world would God be taking a group of ten believers, that have reached the spiritual place, where they can teach and let them simply fellowship together? What about all the people, that need to be taught.

This fellowship (and I love these people dearly) just got off the track and they think, that salvation is coming from within themselves alone . They do not understand that there is a part of themselves that is missing, and they think, that the day every generation is now, that we no longer need these teaching situations. It is an anti-Christ spirit, that is cutting off the power of God from them, and the Word of God. We just pray for them. They are beautiful believers, and those of us who know who I am talking about, love them all. We just pray for them, that the truth gets to them, that they can get back on the track and head for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus which is available to all men. Amen. Salvation belongs to the Lord. We cannot save our own soul. It is the work of the Lord. All we can do, is submit to the Lord or resist Him, and resistance is rebellion.

Isaiah 59:16 says, "And He saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation unto Him." That is Jehovah speaking. He could not find one righteous man, among every member of the living soul that died. There was none righteous, no not one. You cannot intercede for somebody, unless you are righteous. When the Levite Priests interceded for Israel, they had to purify themselves with the blood of goats. Today, we can intercede because of the righteousness of Jesus Christ. The Levites did not go into intercession for Israel, without being purified themselves. There was no man that was righteous, no not one. God brought His own arm to be salvation. And who is His arm? It is the pre- incarnate Christ, in pure spirit form.

The next Scripture we have, is Zechariah 9:9, "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Behold thy king cometh unto thee. He is just and hath salvation." The spiritual God, God the spirit is our Lord. God in the flesh is our King. The definition of king, is one who has a Kingdom. A Kingdom is a piece of land. You can only be a king over land. God took His Son, the regenerated Adam, the last Adam, in pure spirit form and incarnated Him in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth, and He, thus, became a King. "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Behold thy King cometh unto thee. He is just and hath salvation." No man could bring salvation unto himself or the rest of the human race, so God Himself, thank God, incarnated His Son, in the flesh, to do what no man could do.

What is it that He did? We have been studying it for weeks. He subdued the unrighteousness of the living soul that died and brought it into submission, to the righteousness of the spirit of God. Remember, the human spirit in the fallen adamic race is of God, but she has been completely overtaken, and has been fornicating with Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, for centuries. She is incapable of lifting herself up in righteousness, and of redeeming the living soul that died. It is true that she is the Christ, but the human spirit of the living soul that died is a dead Christ because she is married to Satan, the spirit that rules mankind through the unconscious part of the carnal mind.

That is why God sent His Son, to regenerate that dead Christ in the many members of fallen humanity. But, in order to do that, he must first bring Satan, the military power of the living soul that died, into submission, because that military power, which is completely opposed to Christ, is standing between them, preventing Christ from raising the human spirit from the dead. The last Adam, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, has brought the criminal living soul that died into submission and, by the power of Christ Jesus, put Satan underfoot within himself. And now, because Jesus of Nazareth succeeded in totally overtaking the living soul that died, He has received the power and Authority to impart the spirit of Holiness, to the rest of humanity so that we might do the same.

Then Jesus joined the two men. Of the twain He made one new man. Of fallen adam and Christ, in the vessel, known as Jesus of Nazareth, of the twain, He made one new man. The new man, is Christ Jesus, who has now ascended to the Father, and when He, ascended brethren, He made the same victory available to all of us. The hard part is over. It is just a question of appropriating Jesus’ victory in our vessel. It may not sound to you like the hard part is over, because overcoming our carnal mind is pretty rough on us, with all these trials and tribulations, but the fact is, that one man, Christ Jesus, overcame sin and, by His victory, we are made righteous by faith in Him.

The way is now available for us to return unto the Father. Why even think twice about the difficult times that we go through? Just keep your eyes on the promise. The Scripture tells us, we are being restored to victory and glory in the Spirit of God. Hallelujah. Glory to God.

John 4:22 says, "Salvation is of the Jews." So far, we have the Spirit of God, the arm of God manifested in the man, Jesus of Nazareth Now, we are told that salvation is of the Jews. What does that mean? Salvation is feminine, brethren. He is the soul of the Creator, and we have touched on this recently. The Christ within Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God, that Holy Thing that was birthed in Mary, that was perfect, that was impeccable, that was without sin. He was the Logos, spirit, pure spirit. He incarnated in the soul and body of a natural man, Jesus of Nazareth, who came down, through the line of the Jews. Salvation is of the Jews. Salvation is God in the flesh, and His flesh came from the Jews. Hallelujah.

That was how God set it up He called out a small group of people from the world, and He gave them His law, and for centuries, He let them live and serve Him. So, by the time Jesus of Nazareth was born, there was a minimum of curses and evil spirits on this natural flesh line that He took, as His own. Now, that might offend a lot of people, but, brethren, before you crucify me, pray about it.

I am not saying that Jesus had demons. I am saying that God was birthed in a human soul, in a human body, and every member of the living soul that died is fallen. So Christ grew up with Jesus, His human soul, in Jesus ‘ human body, and by the power of the impeccable, righteousness, of the spirit of Holiness within Him, Jesus subdued the unholiness of his fallen soul and purified it.

The fallen soul that Jesus inherited from Mary did not corrupt the indwelling Christ. On the contrary, Jesus brought His fallen soul into submission to the Spirit of Holiness within Himself, and nailed it to Christ, the Son of God, within Himself, thus saving the soul of Jesus of Nazareth for the life of the ages. Do not get all upset, pray about it, this is a glorious truth, and I am not saying, God had demons. We are told in the story of the temptation, that Jesus was with Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, and He was with the beasts of the field, for forty days. That is the soul that Jesus was born with, the natural man. He was with him for forty days. He utterly subdued him, crucified him, crucified Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind. Glory to God.

Prayer

O God, open their ears and deliver them from the darkness in their hears. Let them understand how glorious this message is.

Message Continued

Salvation is of the Jews. Jesus' soul and body came down from the line of Israel, that God made, as pure as could be, in this natural realm through obedience to the law of ordinances. Acts 4:10-12 says, "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him, doth this man stand here, before you, whole." Verse 12, "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved." Glory to God.

"Name" in the Scripture typifies "nature", and the name of Jesus Christ, the man, Jesus of Nazareth, is the Spirit of God, that Holy Thing, that was birthed in Mary, when the Holy Spirit hovered over her. Glory to God. And there is no other spirit by which man might be saved. There is no other spirit. A lot of people do not understand this concept, and there are a lot of Christians, that go around saying, that you cannot be saved if you are a Hindu, you cannot be saved if you are a Buddhist because your religion is all wrong, and you are no good, and you are going to hell. Brethren, it does not make any sense to take this stand.

There happens to be a lot of spiritual truth in Buddhism and in Hinduism, but the spirit that they worship is not the Spirit of Christ. Even though there is spiritual truth in these religions, that spirit that is joined to Mr. Hindu cannot save his fallen soul, because it is a corrupt spirit. You see, it is not that my God is right and your God is wrong. We are talking about spiritual truth. There is only one spirit in the whole world, that is pure, that can join Himself to you and purify you, so that you stop dying, and that is the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Buddhism might have a lot of spiritual truth, but the spirit that is in that religion, cannot save you. It cannot save you. You might live a happy life, a lot of Buddhists, lead a very holy life. They study, and they are morally pure. A lot of them do not even marry. They live in monasteries, and they do not do any harm; they do good works, but whatever they do, the benefit of it cannot bring an end to reincarnation, which is their goal. Their lifestyle and their studies and their rejection of the wickedness of the world, cannot give them eternal life because eternal life is a man, and His name is Christ Jesus.

When Christ Jesus joins Himself, to your soul and your spirit, you receive eternal life. Salvation does not come through knowledge, it is not through works, it is not through experience, but it is through the purified, perfect, spotless Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, joining Himself to you. That is the only way you could be saved. It is not that my God is right and your God is wrong. It is a spiritual truth. If you jump off of the Empire State Building, you are going to hit the cement and die.

If you join yourself to the wrong spirit, you are not going to get the life of the ages, I am sorry. If there is any Hindu or Buddhist reading this message, I am not against your religion. I do not deny, that your religion could be a blessing to you in this lifetime, and that it could keep you from an ungodly lifestyle, that could bring the judgments of God upon your life. You could have a very rewarding, satisfying life in your belief, but you cannot receive the life of the ages, from the spirit of Buddha. Praise God. God loves all of mankind, but His Name is the only Name, by which man can be saved.

2 Peter 3:15, "And account that the long suffering of our Lord is salvation." The suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ, has resulted in our salvation. Glory to God. Now, His suffering was not just on the cross, brethren. His suffering started at the very beginning, from when God decided to make Him into a man. If you think it was easy for the Lord to give up His riches, in the realm of the spirit and be buried in the heart of the earth; if you think that He, who has known righteousness, who has been without sin from before the foundation of the world; if you think that it is easy for Him, to dwell in sin-filled man, you are mistaken, because I am starting to get the slightest, little understanding of just how hard it was.

As I move on in God by the power of His Spirit, when I am exposed to sin it vexes me, it grieves me, it hurts me, it hurts me. When I hear....I have this one person in mind, I work with her, she is a beautiful young woman, physically beautiful, gorgeous...I can see men tripping. Have you ever seen these comedies where men trip off the sidewalk, when they go walking down the street because they are looking at a beautiful woman? That is what this young woman looks like. She has to be around twenty or twenty-one, she is absolutely gorgeous, but every other word out of her mouth, is a four letter curse word, beginning with "f". It hurts me, brethren, it makes me ill.

When I sit there, and listen to these young women, talking about their sexual escapades outside of marriage, it grieves me, and who am I? I am a sin-filled, person myself. Can you imagine the perfect, sinless Lord Jesus Christ, dwelling in the midst of this? He suffered, brethren. He suffered and He is suffering. He suffered on the cross and I do not, in anyway, diminish the hours, that He suffered on the cross. What I am saying to you, is that His suffering has been going on for centuries, and He is still suffering.

He suffers in me. He is inside of me. How do you think He feels when an ungodly thought impulses forth from my fallen soul? He is right in here with me. If the conversation of these young women grieved me, how do you think Jesus feels, when envy crops up in my mind? How do you think He feels, when lust crops up in your mind? It is there, we have all got it. None of us have been totally delivered from lust, envy or pride. That is the inherent characteristic of the natural man. He is inside of you, locked up inside your flesh body, and He lives with that every day of your life. He suffers, brethren, that we might be saved because He is faithful, and He does not leave us, when He hears these ungodly words. He suffers, but He stays, and the end of His faith, is the salvation of our soul.

We read a Scripture earlier, that said, "The end of your faith is the salvation of your soul." Well who is your faith? Christ Jesus is your faith. He is faithful to us and because He remains with us, despite our wickedness, the end result of it, shall be the salvation of our soul. The wickedness of our natural man, cannot overtake the Son of God. The Scripture says, "Be not overtaken with evil," brethren, but let good overtake evil." "Do not let evil overtake you, but overtake evil with good."

Well, that is what is happening. The wickedness of our soul cannot pollute the Son of God. He is purifying the wickedness of the heart of fallen man. Glory to God. Hallelujah. He has suffered for us. He is suffering for us, and He shall suffer for us until the last man has been brought into the image of the Son.

2 Timothy 2:10, "Therefore, I endure all things," Paul speaking, "I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory." Now, for those of you who do not know, when the Scripture says, Jesus Christ, it is talking about the man, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

When the Scripture says, Christ Jesus it is no longer speaking about the man, Jesus of Nazareth, who was the Christ in the days of his flesh, but it is talking about the multi-membered Body of Christ. That is all of us. If Christ Jesus dwells in you, you are a member of the Body of Christ, by faith, because, you are really not a member of His Body, until you birth the Son. But we are not going to split hairs. If you are reading this message, do not get upset, you are going to birth the Son, everybody is going to birth the Son eventually, do not panic. I do not believe in favoritism, and I am not preaching that. You are all going to get it. Do not panic, just ask for it, that is all.

Not only did Christ Jesus suffer for us, there are people in Christ, all over the face of the earth, that are suffering, so that other believers might come unto glory. Have you been crucified lately? Has someone wronged you? Has someone hated you? Has someone betrayed you, and you have not retaliated? Have you manifested Christ in response to that? Have you blessed them? Have you loved them? Have you not responded out of your soul, but have you responded out of the Spirit of God within you? Have you manifested righteousness to those who hate you? If you have, you are suffering, that they might receive the glory of God.

Jesus suffered, the apostles suffered, and we suffer and shall suffer, so that, whosoever God desires, shall receive the glory of God. Now, we are not supposed to be victimized. Do not take this out of context. It has to be a situation that God sets up. God does not require us to be victimized, but He will let us be crucified, and He will require us, to bless those people. But remember, if you find yourself in a situation like this, your checklist should be righteousness.

Your checklist should be righteousness. If the person hurts you, you bless them, but you do not let them walk away with your brand new car. It is a spiritual thing. If they steal your husband, you still have to bless them, but you do not say, "Here take him." If you wake up one morning and someone has run off with your husband, you have to forgive them, and you have to bless them. If someone comes to you and says, "I have got a thing for your husband," you say, "Get out of my house, I bless you, and I wish you well, but do not come back again." Hallelujah.

If you do not understand that, then pray about it. It is important. It is very important. Glory to God. If you see someone starving on the street, you could pick them up if God tells you to. You could give them money, you could give them food, you could give them clothing, but you do not let them move into your house and live without working, while you go to work, to support them. Do you see the difference?

Under the anointing, you give them a hand, you give them help, you bless them and pray for them, and you help them with natural things, but they have to go to work. If they are in your house, if God has told you to give them a bed to sleep in for a season, and they have not gotten a job, and they are not looking, you say, "Brother, you have one month to get a job and start paying rent or you are out, and if you do not go, I will put you out."

2 Corinthians 1:5-7, "As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ. Whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual, in the enduring of the same sufferings, which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is steadfast knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation."

Brethren, as you move on with God, you are going to find yourself in situations with believers, that will be causing suffering to you and to the other person. You are both going to be suffering, that you both might be consoled. God is not going to let you be in these situations, without being glorified. Your suffering is unto their salvation. You suffer, they suffer, and when God resolves the whole thing, you are comforted, and they are comforted. Who is our comforter? Our comforter is the Holy Spirit. God must be glorified. Sometimes, you cannot see it, and sometimes, you do not see the victory for years. I am going through that with my xxxx.

I heard a testimony once from a woman that cut my hair. I am going to make it real short. This woman was a missionary. Her husband was a missionary. They were a family of missionaries living on an Indian reservation, and there was a terrible incident, with one criminal person on the reservation. The reservation was filled with believing people. They were ministering to them. These were people, who were obeying the laws of God, but there was one criminal amongst them and this missionary's daughter was raped. She was a young girl, thirteen or fourteen years old, and something terrible happened. Not only was she raped, something happened to her mind and she never came out of it.

They called everybody for prayer. This was at least twenty to thirty years ago. They called Oral Roberts, they called all of the big name evangelists, of thirty to forty years ago. Everybody prayed. She did not get her mind back, and what happened, was that the other Indians on the reservation, were so horrified that this had happened to a missionary's daughter, that they forgot the law of the land and went by their own Indian law and killed the man who did it. Because there was a murder on an Indian reservation, which is Federal property, the Federal Government became involved.

The parents did not want to institutionalize their daughter, but the Government insisted. I do not know the details, whether she was violent or what it was, but the Government took the child away. She stayed in that mental institution until she was thirty-five years old. This missionary woman and her husband served God all their life. Somewhere along the line, her husband died.

Sometimes, you suffer brethren, that God should be glorified. Sometimes, we cannot understand it, but God has got everything under control, and as we walk with God, we are not only going towards our own salvation, but every step of the way, God is using us to aid and assist our brethren. Sometimes, the way we aid and assist them, is that we have to be hurt for them, so that God can minister to them, so that God can show them things that they would not see, if they were not in these situations.

If you move on in God you will suffer, and you will have to die to your flesh, when people hurt you. That is what God requires of us. As we become God-like, He requires us to partake of the sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ, who loved us unto the death of His soul life. Hallelujah.

It is nice to become like God, but sometimes, it is not what we expect it to be. It is not just a question of dispensing the bread and the corn, when everybody is starving. Sometimes, it is going to jail and being accused falsely. Before Joseph got to give out the corn in the time of famine, he was in Pharaoh's dungeon, and he was there by false accusation. First, his own brothers sent him off into slavery, and then Pharaoh's wife lied about him. She tried to seduce him. He resisted her as a man of God, and she was so enraged, she went and told everybody that he had tried to seduce her, and he was thrown in the dungeon. In due season, in the fullness of time, the Living God raised him up and exalted him for the whole world to see. Glory to God.

When I am really down, so that I cannot see the promise for myself, one of my prayers to the Lord is, "Lord, let me see the promise because I know that it is there, but I cannot see it. Get my eyes off of the trial and let me see the promise, so that I can survive the trial." He is so faithful. He is so faithful. Glory to God.

Now, I think we have touched on this before, but for some reason, I have some notes on this again. In contrast to our Savior being feminine, we have Messiah. I told you that Christ is male, and I did tell you that Messiah is male. The one who is overlaid with the oil of God, is male, and Christ is the perfected soul, overlaid with the oil of the Spirit of God.

Our type, in the Old Testament, is the tabernacle, which was wood and typified the soul of man. It was overlaid with the gold of deity, and that is what is happening to us, as we proceed along in this incredibly long, long (at least to the natural man) process of being created. We are the soul man, and we are overlaid with Christ. That is the Son, and He has overlaid us with oil. Remember, the soul is female, and He is overlaying us with the oil of the maleness of Christ, just like in the tabernacle. Of course, the Holy Spirit is in there too. That is the three-fold.

The whole creation is Christ, God in the flesh. Christ is God in the flesh. If you are a flesh man, and the Spirit of God is speaking through you, for that moment, you are Christ. The prophecy does not have to be, on the floor of the church. Brethren, prophecy can come forth during a natural conversation. You have to get an ear for it. If you cannot hear it, pray for it. Otherwise, God will speak to you, and you might not hear Him.

I remember once, about one or two years ago, I went through a horrendous trial. I really thought I was going to lose my mind. God gave me a couple of witnesses, after it was over, that it really was that severe. I was just calling every body, just calling everybody. I was sick, desperately sick, and I was locked in the house for a week, but it was not just physical. I thought I was losing my mind, and I just called everybody. A lot of people prayed for me, but God did not anoint them. They meant me well, but God just did not anoint them to help me.

Then I called my friend in Florida, and God spoke to me, right through her, and He let me hear it. I heard Him speaking through her, and I knew that it was God. She was about the fifteenth person that I had called, and God spoke to me, and I knew that it was Him. If you do not have this ability, pray for it, your life depends on it. It is very important, that we learn to function in the realm of the spirit. Needless to say, by His grace and mercy I survived. Here I am. Hallelujah.

As we said earlier, our redeemer is the one, who has purchased our human spirit, and He is female, He is Christ, He is Messiah. Our Savior, is the one who has saved our soul, and that is the female element of the Living God. 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, "But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit." Not only is the Son joining Himself to our soul and giving us the righteousness, of His spotless redeemed soul, but the Spirit of the Living God, is joining Himself to our human spirit, and His spirit will become our spirit, when the process is completed.

I think I started to tell you this earlier, this process is not consecutive, one event after the other. It is not that you get the promise, and then you get sanctified, and then you get redeemed. Everything is working simultaneously. In the realm of the Spirit, we do not have this structure, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Everything is working simultaneously.

There is a Scripture in the Book of Isaiah, that says, "Line upon line, precept upon precept" and everybody I heard preach that, with the exception of xxxx xxxxxxx, thinks and has preached, that it means, that you have to take it one at a time, but it does not mean that. When I heard xxxx xxxxxxx preach that, I said, "O he has got to be wrong." I went into my Interlinear, and I researched it, and I studied and I studied, and xxxx xxxxxxx was not right.

When God says in the Book of Isaiah, "line upon line and precept upon precept," He was mocking the Pharisees. He was mocking the Pharisees. It is not line upon line, precept upon precept. The last person into the vineyard of God, receives the same spiritual pay, as the first person, that came in early in the morning. When the time for your glorification comes, you may have started thirty years later, and you are going to get the same pay. It is not line upon line, precept upon precept.

You do not have to go where I was nine years ago. You do not have to go, the route that I went. There are people sitting right here, in this congregation, that are pretty far along in God, and they did it in half the time, that I did it. It is not line upon line, precept upon precept. God will teach you, what He wants to teach you, when He wants to teach it to you. He would teach it to you, how He wants to and no one is going to put restrictions on God, not even the legalism of the Pharisees, and I mean the modern day Pharisees.

God is going to tell you, what He wants to tell you, and this is how so many preachers get messed up. I have heard more than one preacher, preach, "I am studying for fifteen years, you cannot possibly know more than me." Do you want to bet? I say to you preachers (that I do not mean to be argumentative), but if that is what you believe, you are in error. If God sends someone in your congregation to you, you better try the spirit, brethren.

I do not care if they are saved six months, you had better, before you reject it, make sure, that is not a prophet of God, coming to you, with the Word. I do not care how old the person is. They do not even have to be human. God has used an ass. You had better try to discern the voice of the Lord, your life could depend upon it.

Revelation 7:10 says, "And the angels cried with a loud voice saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth on the throne and unto the Lamb." Your God is the spirit which rules in you. We touched upon this last week. There is more than one god. Jehovah never denied, that there was more than one god. He just said, that He is the God of gods. He said He is God Almighty.

Fallen adam wants to be God, and if you are following after the mind of fallen adam, that is in you, then that is your God. I do not care if you speak in tongues and dance in the spirit, when you walk out of that church, if you are doing what fallen adam tells you to do, he is your God.

"Salvation to our God, which sitteth on the throne and unto the Lamb." The Lamb is the soul life of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was the one that was sacrificed. I have an Alternate Translation for you on that verse. We owe our salvation, to the fact that the spirit of Almighty God has joined His Spirit, to our spirit purifying it, and is sitting on the throne of our heart, which has been cleansed and made Holy because the soul life of Jesus Christ, has been joined to it. This only results, from the Son, being birthed in us. There is no other way, brethren. There is nothing to argue about, you see. If you think I am wrong, it is your loss. There is no other way. Glory to God.

Who is the promise of salvation for? It is for, first of all, natural Israel. Psalms 14:7 says, "O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion. When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad." The promise of salvation was first made to natural Israel, but we are going to find out, in a little while, down the line, that all who call themselves Israel, are not Israel.

Secondly, the promise is made to spiritual Israel. There is a spiritual Israel. I have a Scripture for you, from the Book of Acts, Chapter 13, Verse 26. It says, "Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent." This is one of the apostles; Paul, speaking to the Jews. He is addressing them, "You, the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word of salvation sent." To those of you of natural Israel, who fears God, to you is the Word of salvation sent. Every member of natural Israel, at the time of Christ, was not called, but God is no respecter of persons. We are going to touch on that in a minute.

The word stock, means, kin, and it is from a root that means, to cause to come into being. Now, this is very tricky. The stock of Abraham, but we are told in Galatians 3:16, "Now to Abraham and His seed, were the promises made, not seeds as of many, but one, and to Thy seed which is Christ." Now, we have had some teaching recently. I heard it on Tape 22, today, that God always, chooses the spiritual over the natural brother. It is a Scriptural Principle that there are two, and God chooses the spiritual, over the natural. There was a natural and a spiritual seed of Israel, and the spiritual seed is Christ.

Now, there are a lot of people saying that, this teaching is anti-Semitic. It is not anti-Semitic brethren. What it is saying, is that, to get the fullness of the promise, you have to move into spiritual Israel. Now, you may recall in recent meetings, that as a natural Jew with the law of Moses, you can only go as far as being justified, you could not have your conscience purified. What this is saying is, to get the fullness of the promise, you have to move into spiritual Israel and that is available to the natural Jew, as well as, to the Gentiles. It is available to the natural Jew, as well as the Gentiles because the seed of Christ, has made salvation available to the entire world.

Salvation is no longer in the sacrificing of bulls and goats. If you want to go beyond the righteousness, that you got from sacrificing bulls and goats, from the obedience to the law of Moses, you have to go through Messiah, brethren. If you cannot recognize, that Jesus Christ is Messiah, you have a problem, but God Almighty is great enough to deliver you.

Romans 11:25-26 says, "For I would not brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceit; that blindness, in part, has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved." For I would not brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceit. Do not think, that you have got it made because you are born a natural Jew because salvation is a mystery, and the mystery as it unwinds, as it is revealed, calls for the fact, that part of Israel, should be blinded to the fact, that Jesus Christ is Messiah.

All of natural Israel are not spiritual Israel because the mystery, of this part of the Gospel of God, has required, that part of Israel, should be blinded. For a season, God has set you outside of the camp. You have been bruised, so that the message could go to the Gentiles. If the Jews did not reject Messiah, the message would never have gone to the Gentiles. God has bruised the Jewish people.

Not only the Jews that rejected Messiah, two thousand years ago, but all of their descendants. When God hardened their heart, to reject Messiah, God knew, full well, that every curse, associated with such a rejection, would fall upon the Jews and all of their descendants, for at least two thousand years. God knew it, and He did it anyway. He turned over His beloved people and their descendants, for two thousand years. I hope it would not be much longer, so that the Gentiles could receive the Word of the Gospel of God.

Just as He bruised Jesus Christ, on the cross, God has bruised the Jewish people. It is the same principle. They paid a terrible price. They do not know it, but they have paid a terrible price, that the world could receive the Word of Salvation. Some day they will know it, and we are told that they will, indeed, be grafted back into the Tree. This is not anti-Semitic. Now, there may be some people out there, preaching from an anti-Semitic spirit, I cannot say no to that, but there is a truth, and it is not an anti-Semitic truth.

The Word of God, salvation, is available to the Jews. You are not locked out, but you have to receive Jesus Christ as Messiah. The veil has to be lifted off of your eyes, and if you are a natural Jew and you are hearing this Word, and you desire it but you cannot seem to understand it, pray for it, ask for it. God will withhold nothing righteous from you. Glory to God.

Salvation is for the Gentiles, Romans 11:11, "But rather through the fall of the Jews, salvation is come unto the Gentiles." God hardened their heart. It is the same principle as, His crucifying Jesus Christ. He turned them and their descendants over, for two thousand or more years, so that the world could be saved.

Acts 28:28, "The salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles." The word Gentiles means, a company, a troop, a multitude, and the Lord asked me to tell you (I cannot really prove this to you, you have to pray about it) what it really means, is the many-membered, living soul that died, outside of the consecrated nation of Israel. What happened is, God created a living soul that died. He created the female element of the creation, and it is existing in a very hostile war-like, condition. We just have to study human history to know that.

This was the living soul that died. It is filled with sin and paganism, and God came down here and He chose a little nation, called Israel, and He gave it His law and He consecrated it, and He justified it. It was a start, and then, Israel hardened their heart and sinned against God, and He took the Word of His Gospel of Salvation, and He gave it to the raging, heathen masses, of the rest of the living soul that died.

When the fullness of the Gentiles has come to salvation, this Word of the Gospel is going back, to get these Jews, that were sacrificed. The Scripture says, all Israel shall be saved. Now, the Scripture is talking about spiritual Israel. That which is spiritual Israel, in natural Israel, plus that which is spiritual Israel, in the raging masses of the living soul that died, and all of Israel, shall be saved. That which is Israel from here and that which is Israel from over there, and you put them together and all Israel shall be saved.

You see, Israel is the spiritual seed of God. Israel is the spiritual seed of God, so if you have been incarnated, at the express will of the Father, you are spiritual Israel. If you have been incarnated illegally, at the express will of the soul, you are not spiritual Israel. If you have been incarnated illegally, you are still going to live out your life, you still have a rewarding lifetime. It could be a very good life, but when your body and soul die, you will not have the life of the ages because God did not say, this was your time. You have to go back to the dust, of the living soul that died and wait until God calls you forth. Hallelujah.

Everybody is invited to be saved, but you have to come, in the order that God ordains for you. You cannot get out here into the realm of appearance illegally. If you get out here illegally, you can have a decent lifetime, but you will not receive the fruit, that will bring forth eternal life.

Salvation is for all flesh. I keep getting ahead of myself here, and that is okay because I am following it up with the Scriptures. Salvation is for all flesh, Luke 3:5-6. This is a prophesy from the Old Testament. "Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways, shall be made smooth, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God." It is for all flesh. Glory to God. It is for the entire living soul that died. The root of the entire living soul that died is going to be saved, but you have to wait until your turn. You have to wait until God calls you. This is what God is talking about, when He says, the valley shall be filled, and the mountains shall be brought low.

Now, we have been saying in these meetings, that we are half a creation. We are half a creation. We are waiting to be completed. Let us say, these are the valleys in us. That is a spiritual valley. There is something lacking, so Christ Jesus is coming, and He is going to fill in, what is missing in us. He is going to fill in, all the valleys, with His own spiritual substance, and we are going to become whole. That is the valleys.

What is high that is going to be brought low, is the natural man. God makes no qualms about saying, that the natural man, is just lifted up in pride, and God describes that, as mountains. You cannot be proud and become a glorified creation. These mountains would not let the Spirit of God in. The Spirit of God comes to this, and they are saying "get out, get out, we do not want you, get out," and they are putting up defenses, against the living God. They have to come down, because they have to let the Spirit of God in.

God is going to come, and He is going to make these mountains even. He is going to even them out, and He is going to come in, by His Spirit, and He is going to make everything on an even keel. This is the peace that He has promised us. What God is speaking about, is emotion. When you get excited, your heart rate increases. This can be picked up by a machine, with all these wires hooked up to you, an electrocardiogram, but when you get excited, your heart rate increases and the tracing, shows all these spikes. You are not supposed to look like that, when you are in Christ. When you are a complete creation, your read out is supposed to look flat, peace.

No matter what happens over here, in the realm of appearance, no matter what comes against you, you are supposed to remain even. Let us say, we have arrows and darts coming against you. When you are a complete creation, they just bounce off. When you are not a complete creation, when you are half-way created, you can have moments of peace because you do have Christ, and then the dart comes against you, and you go up, got all upset. The dart gets you. You manifest and retaliate. He punched you in the face, and you did not love him.

God is bringing all of this down because you cannot do anything but manifest without the power of Christ. You have to have the power of Christ in your life. You have peace, and you are a completed creation, you are a three-fold creation, as we showed earlier, and this dart comes against you, and it goes right down. It cannot cause you to manifest. No more mountains.

Every manifestation is, is a result of pride. If someone comes against me and says, "I hate you," and I get upset, it is really just pride. Even if it is something extreme, like you stole my husband; all things belong to God. If you manifest like that, it is pride. These mountains are coming down because we know that, no matter what comes against us, we know that there is nothing, nothing, that this soul realm can steal from us, that God would not give us back, two fold.

There is nothing that you could lose, brethren, that God would not give you back, two-fold. Nothing. Now, if you could just really believe that, you would have it made. I do not even know, that I completely believe it. I know, that I am moving into that revelation. I am moving into it, and I desire to move into it because, let me tell you something brethren, that is peace.

Now, that does not mean you turn everything over. It means you do everything you have to do and like we said earlier, you say, "Brother I have helped you all that I can, and you cannot live here for free any more. You have to leave." You do what is righteous. If the guy says, "alright" and he walks out the door, with your last dollar, well, you did what was right. You gave the guy a break.

You tried to help him, and you have to believe, that God is going to vindicate you. I do not know how He is going to do it, but you have to believe, that you are not going to be destroyed from this. You have to believe it, and you have to be willing to lose everything. We have been talking about this. There is no other way to go, brethren. You have to be willing to lose everything, believing that God is your defense in righteousness. Hallelujah.

The ends of the earth are going to be saved. Acts 13:47, "I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth." This is a very controversial Scripture, "The ends of the earth," I liken it to the controversy over, "Outer darkness." I have heard Christians talking about it, being a planet and somewhere out in Mars or something like that.

We have talked about it. This is the living soul that died. This is your body. Your spiritual substance is deep within your heart. That is your spirit, and that is your soul. The flesh is both the soul and the body. They are both made out of dust.

We are measuring this man, from his innermost spiritual being, to his outermost spiritual being, and outer darkness, is the realm, where the darkness is the farthest point, from the spirit. It is as far out, as you can go, from the center, to any place, on the circumference of this being, the most exterior place, that one could be, the farthest place away from the spirit.

When Christ Jesus comes, He joins Himself to our spirit. That means He is in here. He is in here. If you have got Christ He is in here. Outer darkness or the ends of the earth is here. It is the body. It is not Mars. I do not mean to be mocking, we have just got to get spiritual It is not Mars.

God is making a creation, and everything that He talks to us about, is with regards to His creation. The ends of the earth are going to be saved, our soul is going to be adopted. We talked about that recently. Our spiritual body, our mind, is going to be saved and then adopted, and our spirit is going to be redeemed. The whole creation is being apprehended by the Lord Jesus Christ.

To wind it down, I have a few Scriptures for you, describing what salvation is. Salvation is our rock. Deuteronomy 32:15. Rocks in the Scripture refer to spiritual power. He is our spiritual power. He is our defense against every spiritual power, that is not of God. He is God of gods and King of kings and Lord of lords, and His spiritual power can defeat any other spiritual power, brethren.

I do not care how powerful Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, is in your life, the Lord Jesus Christ is full well able to defeat him. He is our shield and our horn, 2 Samuel 22:3. Shields are defenses against spiritual powers also. The horn (in the scriptural days, they made vessels out of horns; they would hollow them out and use them to keep things in them) so a horn is a hard defensive exterior.

Our soul is becoming defensed like a defensed city, that the thoughts of Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, cannot cause us to sin, and our spiritual body, our mind is going to become a hard, defensive, exterior. It will not get sick, it will not be damaged, it will not be gangrenous, and it will not corrupt in any manner, shape, or form. Salvation is our tower, 2 Samuel. 22:51. It is a safe place within an area that can be attacked.

As a new believer, all that you have is the promise. If you have heavy curses on your life, and the demons that operate in the urse know that you have received the promise, they are coming against you, in a vengeance and your flesh is vulnerable. Now, this happened to me, I was under a severe attack when I was first saved. I was in a severe attack, my whole life. I still suffer from physical illness.

I am doing a lot better, but I am not completely delivered in that area. My body was attacked, without mercy for years, after I first received the promise. My soul was attacked, without mercy for years, after I received the promise, and they could do it. I was attacked in my emotions, I was attacked in my life, I was attacked viciously. It has taken years, to come to a place of normalcy. I was a severe case. I do not doubt it; I was deep in sin, witchcraft; a lot of problems. It took me a long time to come to a place of normalcy.

But at all times, from the moment I received the promise, there was a place in the deepest recesses of my spiritual being, that God describes as a tower. Now, we know it is not a physical tower, but God describes it as a tower because in ancient days, when they built a city, they always put a tower in the city. There was a wall around the city but if the invading forces tore down the walls, and they got into the city, where all the houses were, behind the walls, what everybody did was, they ran into the tower. Every city had a tower that could defend it. It was like the last bastion of defense, if the walls were knocked down.

From the day I received the promise, I had a spiritual tower, and that tower was within me, and I could get down on my face before God and cry out for help, and He delivered me every single time. It is a spiritual tower. While the body is still weak, and the soul is still weak, and the spirit is still weak, there is a spiritual tower within, that we can run into.

It is not a very popular thing, to preach that the spirit is weak, after you receive the promise, but I believe you could have demons in your spirit. We are told in the Book of Proverbs that your spirit can be breached. It can be damaged. My spirit was damaged. I had damage on all three levels, body, soul and spirit, but in the midst of everything God came in, the Holy Spirit came in, like a man of war, and He set up a tower inside my spiritual being.

I could turn to Him with any problem, and He delivered me every time. Every time they attacked me, He delivered me. They attacked me four times, He delivered me five times, and I got ahead and I am where I am today. I am moving on. I still have problems, but I have got a lot of victory. Glory to God.

Salvation is walls, Isaiah 26:1, "In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks." We are or shall be a defensed city, when we are completely saved, when we are perfected, as we spoke about earlier in the message. In the third stage of the salvation of our soul, when Christ Jesus has totally joined Himself to us and swallowed up Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, He will be walls to our city, that nobody can climb over, no spiritual power can climb over it.

Salvation is a helmet, which is the hope of salvation. 1 Thessalonians 5:8, "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breast-plate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation." The helmet is hope, that is a protection for the mind, which is the human spirit, which can be breached. It can be breached.

Salvation is a garment. Isaiah. 61:10. "For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation." He has clothed me with eternal life, in the realm of appearance. Eternal life. Salvation is life in the realm of appearance. Spirits are not saved. Spirits are redeemed. Souls are saved. Salvation is something that we receive in the realm of appearance, and it is a garment. It is that, which makes us appear in the life of the ages, without corruption.

Salvation is a well. Isaiah 12:3, "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." God brings forth the spiritual life of His Spirit, from deep within the soul of the earth.

Salvation is a cup. Psalms 116:13, "I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord." He has given us form and shape in the realm of appearance, and the cup, is that which holds our spiritual life.

Salvation is joy. Psalms 51:12, "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation." Gladness comes forth out of the pain of our existence in the soul realm. Glory to God.

Hebrews 2:2-3, "For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first, began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us, by them that heard Him." What do we have to do? We do not just sit here passively. We are required to do some things, and the Lord says to us, "How can we neglect or reject so great a salvation?" You have to do your part. God has given you the power. You have to do your part. (End of Tape 1)

Tape 2

Jude 3 says, "I write unto you of the common salvation." We have salvation in common, and we spoke earlier about dying for one another and suffering for one another. Some of the things that you have to do, we are going to touch on now.

Romans 10:10 says, "Confession results in salvation." Brethren, you must confess your sins. You cannot live behind a wall of fantasy because you would not get saved. Your soul is not going to be saved. You must confess the wickedness of your soul. So long as you deny it, there is no deliverance for you. There is only judgment, and that is usually for pride.

2 Corinthians 7:10, "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation." Repentance leads unto salvation. Repentance. You cannot repent until you confess your sins. Glory to God.

Philippians 2:12 says, "Work out your own salvation." For five years, I never went up on that prayer line, without saying to God, what do you want me to get delivered from? What do I have to do to get that deliverance? And God never failed to answer my prayer. Work out your own salvation. Find out in what order, God wants to deliver you, and go and do what you have to do. I do not care how badly it hurts.

Brethren, if you can just get this vision, it is easy. Do not worry about your feelings. Just find out what is right and do it. This revelation is going to save your life. It is going to save your life. Do not do what your emotions tell you. Hear from God what is right, in a given situation and do it. I do not care about your pride. I do not care about what it looks like, that you are going to lose, just do it because if God told you to do it, you cannot fail. Do not live out of your emotions. It is death. That is death, living out of your emotions. It is the scriptural definition of death, the carnal mind.

2 Thessalonians. 2:13, "But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth." We receive salvation through sanctification, and we have been talking a lot about that. That is separating out the thoughts of your mind, knowing what is right and what is wrong.

2 Timothy 3:15, "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." The Scriptures will make you wise unto salvation. Learn the Scriptures. Read the Scriptures. Read the Law of God. All of the Scripture is good, but brethren learn the Law of God. It will make you wise unto salvation.

One of the paths of salvation is wisdom, and we have been preaching in this ministry, that it is not enough to go out and heal people and cast out demons. God is going to bring us to a place, where we can reveal to these people, why they are birthing the demons and help them move into a full salvation of their soul. We need wisdom. We need more than the power to cast out demons. We need the wisdom, to help the people to stop from bringing destruction upon themselves.

Hebrews 2:10 says Jesus Christ is the Captain of our salvation. Hebrews 5:9 says He is the author of eternal salvation, that is salvation of the life of the ages. The words, "Captain and Author," are the same word, and it means, the commencement or the chief or the beginning. He is the beginning of our salvation. When He comes to dwell in us, that is the beginning of the process, that will result in the salvation of our soul. There is no salvation outside of Him. He is the beginning. If you do not have Him, you do not have anything. Glory to God.

Hebrews 9:28 says, "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many and unto them that look for Him, shall He appear the second time, without sin unto salvation." He is appearing in your soul, and when He appears it will be without sin. He will have swallowed up every sin in your soul. He is going to appear the second time in you. He is not dropping out of the sky. He is coming forth in the people.

When did He appear? He appeared the first time, in Jesus of Nazareth. He appeared in a man. Well, He is going to appear in a man again. He is going to appear in many men. He is going to do for you, what He did for the soul of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is going to bring your soul into submission. He is going to subject it to the Spirit of Holiness, so that it can be raised from the dead. That was what permitted His soul to be raised from the dead. He had brought it into subjection to the Spirit of Holiness, and He is going to do the same thing for you. He is going to make your soul Holy, and then He is going to raise it from the dead, and He is going to glorify it. It is going to live for the life of the ages, without corruption. Not only your soul but your mind also.

Hebrews 6:19, "He is the anchor of our soul." What is He anchoring us to? We have touched on this in prior meetings. He is anchoring us to the spiritual realm of God. All provision, life, safety, peace and happiness, is through the power of the spiritual realm of God, Eden. Not only are we going back to Eden, we are going to be anchored to it, never to fall out of it again; total provision. Only this time, not in a state of innocence; this time, after having great experiences with evil, we will appreciate what we have. This is just a fact of life, brethren. People do not appreciate what they have, until they lose it. I know that was my experience. Glory to God.

When is salvation coming? 2 Corinthians. 6:2, "Today is the day of salvation." I just want to explain this to you as quickly as I can. Today is the day of salvation. Well, what does that mean? There are millions of people out there, in the world, that are not saved, and what does "today" mean? What is today? Today is an age.

In the diagram, this is the spiritual realm of God, and this is the realm of the soul, down here, and it is existing in many members, and we have all of these different spiritual realms in God. This is ancient Israel, this is the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is perfection (this is very sketchy) and this is the glorification. We have spoken about this, that they come in time sequences, and I do not believe glorification is available yet. We have spoken about that.

This is the living soul that died up here, and this is the realm of appearance beneath this line. When the living soul that died dies and manifests again, it comes down here, and this is a human being living here. This is a human being living here, and this is a human being, living here. Now, all of these human beings, could be living in August 1988. But not all of these human beings are necessarily experiencing the same spiritual age.

Everybody here in this room, is down here. We are moving towards perfection. We are in the time frame, for perfection. It is possible for us to be perfected. You can go out on the street and stop someone walking down the street, and they are not over here, in the age of perfection. They do not even know, about the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, or even about natural Israel. They are just heathens, and they exist up here. They are all living in August 1988.

The guy out in the street is in this spiritual realm over there. We are down here. The guy in the other local church, down the street is over here, he just received the promise. Then we have the natural Jew, down the street, that just knows about the law of God. Meanwhile, all of us exist in August 1988. For you to receive the day of salvation, (and it is a spiritual thing), God has to lay hold of you and move you into this realm, and when you receive the promise, that is what happens to you. God lays hold of you out here in the street, and He does something spiritual to you, and you move into the day of salvation. It is something that happens inside of you.

Now, who is the New Age? Jesus Christ is the New Age. The New Age, that everybody is waiting for, is Jesus Christ. When you move into this realm, the New Age is in your heart. It starts as a mustard seed, and it is going to grow up and it is going to fill your entire being. You will be a New Age Man, a New Creation Man. It is coming forth from within you, not from without you. This is pretty much the end. That is the day of salvation.

How long will salvation last? Psalms 51:6 says, "Forever and Psalms 51:8 says, "From generation to generation, which is from age to age, and we know that Paul said, "World without end." When our spiritual body, our mind, is adopted, and our soul is saved, and we do not corrupt any more, we are going to go from age to age. We do not know what God has for us. We do not know, eye has not seen and ear has not heard, what God has in store for us. But we know they are exciting things!

We are going from age to age. Right now, most of us here, I believe, are in the age of perfection. We are in the age of perfection, and that age is within us. It has nothing to do with the year August 1988. We exist in the age of perfection because of what has taken place within us.

The next age that is coming is glorification. The way we get there, is that we stay right where we are in this world. If it is the timetable of God and He wills to do it, you could wake up tomorrow morning, and you could be in the age of glorification, because something happened inside of your heart. Not because you moved to any natural, carnal place.

I do not know what the age is, after the age of glorification, but I think the Bible says something about two thousand generations, two thousand ages. We do not know what God is going to be doing in those ages. But we know it is going to be glorious.

Are there any questions. That is all I have to say. I am not sure I made this clear. Does anybody have any questions on this or anything else.

COMMENT: By the age of perfection do you mean, you are in the process of being perfected or you are perfect?

PASTOR VITALE: I do not mean, you are perfect, but to become perfect, you have to exist in a realm where that is possible, and I believe that if you are sitting here today it is available to you. Now, perfection is perfection of your soul. That means, that your soul is going to be made sinless. It is going to become subject to the Spirit of Holiness, and it is going to be done because Christ Jesus, is going to join His spotless soul to yours, and I believe, that if you are hearing this message, that it is available to you. I do not know anyone that is sinless yet, but I think that we are moving into it. It is going to be in our lifetime. I really believe it.

To get to the point of perfection, you have to be in a place where it is available. If you want to eat, you have to come into the kitchen. You cannot be out in the garden and expect the food to come to you. The way it comes to you, is through Christ Jesus, within you. As He grows and matures within you, all these things become available to you, according to the spiritual maturity of the Christ within you. Did I answer your question?

COMMENT: To be glorified, would that be after death or would we still be living?

PASTOR VITALE: I believe that you have to have a body to be glorified. I do not believe that your body could die, and that you could go off, into the heavens and get glorified in the heavens. If you exist in an age, where glorification is not yet available, which is today, and your body should corrupt, I believe that when your turn comes for glorification, you must receive another body first. Does that answer your question? Okay.

It has to have a body and a soul to be made incorruptible. If your body has died, and you are in the realm of the heavens, maybe you have your soul with you but how could your body be made incorruptible, if you do not have one? You have to have another body.

Now, there is a lot of speculation about how people are going to get their bodies. I know that xxxx xxxxxxx believes that God is going to get back, the original body that you had, when you lived on the face of the earth. I do not believe that, but I have a lot of respect for xxxx xxxxxxx. My point is, you must have a body for it to be made incorruptible. If your body has died, somehow God has to get you another body. That is His problem. It is not mine, but He has got to get you another body.

We now know that we do not need our physical body to be glorified. We will receive a spiritual body which will be formed from the earth of a higher spiritual realm then the earth that the physical body was formed from, because we will reside in that higher spiritual realm. The spirit and soul of a man has a body formed from the substance of the world that his mind dwells in. And ascended mind acquires an ascended body. The physical body returns to the dust of this spiritually low visible plane of existence.

1 Cor 15:44, It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. KJV
