Ten Thousand Worlds

In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in. And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? (1 Kings 3:5-9)

16 Then we notice again, that through the—every age, God has somebody some place that He can lay His hands on and work through that person. He’s never been without a witness since the world began. In every age, He’s had witnesses.

And back in the time that we’re now facing in the great, golden age of Israel, God had gifted a man by the name of Solomon. He’s knowed all through the world where the Bible is read as a man of wisdom. He prayed God to give him wisdom to lead the people.

And when a gift is given to the church, and the church refuses to hear that gift, then the gift becomes of none effect. But when the gift is given to the church, and the church receives it, then it’s a golden age for that church.

Israel was living in its golden age under Solomon. All Israel glorified God because of this marvelous gift. It was perfectly operating. And they could see the results, that it wasn’t something that was just a put-on. It was a real gift from God.

17 And then the news when the pass-bys, coming through the country, would hear of this great gift of God, they would go tell others. That’s the way the good news gets scattered: one tells the other.

And then, way down in the utmost parts of the known world, there was a little queen, perhaps, a little heathen queen called the queen of Sheba. And in her great domain, people would come by and say, that had passed through Israel, and say, “You should see that great gift that God has given to Israel.”

18 You know, faith cometh by hearing, talking about it. We don’t do enough talking about the good things of God. Tonight, the church of the living God is took up too much on talking about television programs, and some kind of a ball game, or something on that order. You should be testifying to the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and let your whole life be wrapped in that.

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. (Hebrews 10:1-4)

47 And how can you have fellowship with God when you can’t have fellowship with one another? When churches are different, when fussing, and quarreling, and arguing just with churches, how can we expect to love God when we can’t love each other? I think it’s a time that the all the barriers should be broke down, and we should all be one together, one great unit.

Notice, when Israel come in to the shed blood. The animal was taken up to the altar, was washed at the laver. The sinner placed his hands upon the lamb, his throat was cut. Where the lamb… The blood was sprinkled, and the man went out reconciled through the shedding of the blood. But every time he sinned, he had to come offer a new lamb. And there was a sin offering once a year. He that trespassed that died without mercy.

48 Now, if he’d have—sin had been committed twice in a year, no matter if he was a mayor of the city, if he was a king, whoever he was, he was stoned without mercy.

Now, in the case of Christ, the Lamb. If we once put our hands upon His head and confess our sins as wrong, and He accept us, what a sorer punishment it would be to do despite to the works of grace, and to count the covenant of the Blood wherewith we was sanctified an unholy thing.

But in that day, he went back with the same kind of a feeling he had when he come in. Now, this may pinch just a little bit to some of the brethren. Listen. The reason the man went out after offering the lamb’s blood… Maybe he went out and murdered. He went out with the same murdering spirit in his heart, though he was reconciled for he was offered the blood.

But he went out with the same spirit in his heart. Maybe he committed adultery; he went out with the same spirit in his heart, because the blood of this animal… The life was in the blood. But the animal life trying to answer for a human life, it would never do it.

49 But when a man correctly one time comes in and lays his hands upon the head, by faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, and confesses his sins, then the Blood of Jesus Christ… The Life that was in that was God Himself. And that man, the life that returns to that man after he has confessed his sins and accepted Christ, he’s brought into a relationship with Christ by the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and there’s no more desire in his heart to sin. Amen.

That’s the reason Hebrews 10 said, “For the worshipper once purged has no more conscience of sin.” There you have fellowship. The things of the world is dead. You don’t recognize it no more. You reckon yourself dead, and your life is hid in God through Christ, sealed by the Holy Spirit. And then you’re looking to the heavenly things.

Used to be, you couldn’t hardly set in church ten minutes. But when you really got the Holy Spirit, you can set in church day and night, for there’s something in you feeding. The trouble today people has worldly spirits. They go to church.

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:13-14)

129 “Do Christians sin?” Absolutely no! There is no Scripture where a Christian sins. He cannot sin. I know there’s a resentment to that. Well, we’ll just go to First John 3 and see what the Scripture says. A Christian does not sin.

130 Did you ever see a black, white bird or a white, black bird? Did you ever see a drunk, sober man? No! You never did see a sinner, saint either. There’s no such a thing.

131 Now, if this gets just a little touchy, you just put a lot of balm in, you know, and it’ll—it’ll cure up just in a little bit now.

132 Now, the Scriptures is our absolutely, infallible proofs of what we are speaking of. First John 3rd chapter and the 9th verse. All right, listen to this!

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Listen, are you ready? Got your jackets on, the armor all buckled up? Listen close, ’cause this is shocking.

Whosever is borned of God does not commit sin;… (How’s that?)…for his seed…(His seed, God’s.)… remaineth in him:…(The man!)…and he cannot sin, because he’s borned of God.

In this the children of God are made manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither…that loveth not his brother.

How can you have denominations and draw barriers and things like that, and say you’re borned of God? No such a thing. It’s a mock of the—Satan. That’s right. But a man that’s borned of God cannot sin; it’s impossible for him to sin.

133 Watch! Just let me take this crucifix just a minute if it’ll come off of there. Who was the sin offering? Jesus Christ. How do we get in Christ? Who died for us? Christ. What did He die for? Our sins. He took my punishment. Is that right? And then how do I get into Him? By one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body. And when in this Body, we’re covered by the Blood and free from the judgments. He cannot sin, because there’s a Blood sacrifice laying for him day and night. Hallelujah! He can’t sin. He has no desire to sin. If he does it—if he does do something wrong, he don’t mean to do it. The Bible said in Hebrews the 10th chapter, “For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the Truth (and He is the Truth), there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin. He that despised Moses’ law died under two or three witness, how much more sorer punishment suppose, though worthy, who’s trod the Blood of Jesus Christ under his feet and counted the Blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified with an unholy thing, and done despite to the works of grace.”

134 For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body and are free from sin, and we cannot sin. There is an atonement waiting for us. And if there’s still desire in your heart to sin, you have never been baptized into that Body, because you are dead and your life is hid in Christ through God and sealed by the Holy Ghost. Christians don’t sin. They make mistakes, but they don’t sin. Amen! That’s the reason they don’t, for he cannot sin.

Can two walk together, except they be agreed? (Amos 3:3)

21 Watch. Then, when they went out and Jehoshaphat what a slip-up on him, to make an alliance with such a person as that fellow, an unbeliever. He got in the same trouble we did when we made alliance with Russia and sent them over all of our planes and things during the other war. Now, they’re going to fly them back and shoot them at us. See? “How can two walk unless they be agreed?” We wouldn’t accept the cross of Christ that was preached, and now we got a double-cross. It’s exactly right. Same thing taken place there. And there Jehoshaphat went out with the—the King Jeroboam, the King of Jerusalem, and they went out to make war with the—with the kings or the Philistines, or Moabites, rather. And they went seven days… Now look, all tied up in business, didn’t stop to consult God.

When you come to the meeting tonight, if you’re sick, did you come say, “Now, Father, I’m going down there. I ask You to be merciful to me, and let my faith be raised up tonight to a place where I can believe Your Son and be healed.” Did you think to pray when you heard the meeting was going to be up here at Connersville? Did you pray, go around and get the neighbors and have little prayer meetings. We forget those things and that’s why we get in trouble.

22 They went seven days out into the wilderness. Never fetched no compass. And come to find out, they got in trouble; they went without consulting God. And all the water supply was cut off. That’s what’s the matter with the church tonight. The water supply is cut off, trying to carry the church on without the supernatural. Trying to try to carry the church on just in its natural. Trying to pattern after the other churches of the world, and that’s the reason we’re not having the blessings we use to have.

Someone said, “I’d walk fifty miles on cobblestones, barefooted to get to a good old fashion Holy Ghost revival again. What’s the matter? God’s still God. You haven’t consulted Him lately. Pray. That’s the only way to find.

We used to sing a little song:

Pray, pray, the only way to reach higher ground,

Pray, pray, the prayer of faith will bring God’s blessings down.

That’s the only way to do it.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. (Psalm 150:1-6)

19 They went on back down, and the Spirit departed from Saul. He’d backslid and went so far away from God until the Spirit had left him, and a evil spirit took His place, come on Saul. And Saul was all moody and in a bad humor, and—and kicking things around, all out of sorts like some people gets on Monday morning. So they—he was out of sorts all the time. Did you know that’s a evil spirit? That’s exactly.

So they didn’t… The doctors couldn’t do him any good. They had a lot of doctors around there, but they couldn’t help that, because it was a spiritual condition. So one of the men had passed around and seen a few places, they said, “Well, we know where there’s a Divine healer at.”

“Why, who would that be?”

Said, “Jesse’s got a son back out there, he…” Yeah, he’s a Divine healer. Sure he was. He healed by music. Amen. That’s what he did. He had a gift of casting out evil spirits. The Holy Ghost hadn’t come in those days, so he cast them out by music, playing the words of the Lord. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside still waters.” And it disturbed the evil spirits so much that they left Saul.

20 Shame on you people don’t believe in string music. No wonder, evil spirits never like it. They have to get away. David cast out devils by playing on his string instrument. That’s what the Scripture says. That’s right. And when David would begin to play, the evil spirit would leave Saul. Is that right? So this little boy was borned in the world for a purpose. You believe that?

And he knowed God was with him. Sure he did. Because he’d able to… He was a crack shot; he was a woodsman. And he had a little slingshot out there. And an old lion got a… And bear one day, run in and grabbed a little sheep and started out with it, and David took his sling, and knocked the lion down, and took the sheep out of his mouth. And when the lion rose up, come to himself and rose up, David just caught him by the beard and give his hunting knife to him, and that ended it. So he knowed God was with him. He killed the bear also. And he knew God was with him.

And now, the next thing he did, played and cast out devils. If that ain’t a Spirit filled man, I never seen one. He might be little and ruddy, but he was a Spirit filled man. God was with him.

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, (Hebrews 6:1)

67 Watch this. Let’s get this word “perfection.” Do you know there’s only one way you’ll stand in the Presence of God? That’s, perfect. God cannot tolerate unholy things.

68 And you legalists: how could you ever perfect yourself, when you have not one thing to perfect yourself with? You were born in sin. Your very conception was in sin. The very desire of you being here was sin. “Born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies.” Now where are you going to stand at?

69 Where you, sinner, that—that said, “I’ll quit smoking. I’ll go to Heaven”? Where are you, lukewarm, mossback, so-called Christian, that goes around here with a long face and saying, that, “Well, I belong to the church”? You sinner. That’s right. Unless you are born of the Spirit of God, you’re lost. That’s true.

70 How you going to Heaven? You say, “I never lied in my life.” “Oh, the darling. It—it was just an Angel, to begin with.” That’s a lie. I don’t care how good you are; you’re a sinner. And you don’t have one thing; there’s no priest, no bishop, no cardinal, no pope, nor nothing else can save you, ’cause he’s just the same boat that you’re in. We’re getting into it in a few minutes. Just in the same shape. He was…the pope of Rome was born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies, born by the sexual desire of a man and a woman. Where you going to get righteous out of that?

71 “Well, his papa and mama were born the same way, and they were born the same way, and his grandma and grandpa and on back.” It’s sin, to begin with!

72 So who can say that this is holy and that is holy? There is only one thing holy, that’s Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, Who has been made Perfect. And our requirement is to be perfect. Now, how we going to be it? Try it, yourself. I’d hate to try to get to Heaven on the merits of, “I was born five minutes ago, and going out of the world right now.” I’d be lost. If I never had an evil thought in my life, if I never spoke a bad word in my life, if I never looked at anything evil, never thought anything evil, or nothing, I’m just as rank and black as the smutty walls of hell. I’m a sinner.

73 I could come through life and stay locked up in a room, and like some of the Carmelite sisters or something, and never see the world, stay in there and pray all my life, do good, born a multimillionaire and give to the poor everything I got, and I’m still a sinner and will go to hell. Yes, sir.

74 I might join the Lutheran church, Baptist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, when I’m on the cradle roll, and live faithful to that church until a hundred years, and my life is took, and no man could point their finger at me and say “He ever even as had as much as a bad thought,” I’ll go to hell just as sure as I’m standing.

75 I’m a sinner. That’s correct. I have nothing. There’s no way, at all, I could find any—any price to be paid. God required death. And if I give my own life, if I give my life, then how can I repent? Cause, you…The debt has got to be paid, first. And God was the only One who could lay His life down and take It up again. So He could become sin, and lay His Life down and pick It up, and call it “justice,” and the debt is paid. There you are.

And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord. And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. (2 Samuel 23:14-17)

134 O sons, warriors, as I close. I don’t want to keep you here too long. I’m going to close right now, the Lord willing. Five minutes till eleven, or six minutes, rather. Notice, O warrior sons, you man here that claim to be son! Did you know what David represented? David represented Christ, He was, Christ was the Son of David. Now listen, in closing. Those Gentile warriors, many of them, notice they come from everywhere, but they knowed that that fugitive was anointed. They knew David was rejected by his own people, but they knowed the anointing was on him. They could see it. So they stood right by his side, die or live! They were gallant man, no matter how much the outside world didn’t believe it.

135 His own people kicked him out. They didn’t want nothing to do with him. Saul run him out, the head of the denomination kicked him out, and have nothing to do with it, the council kicked him out, and he become a fugitive. They had to go to wherever he could. There he was up in the mountains, but there was a little group of men, of Gentiles and so forth, made up, that they looked at that man and they knowed he was coming king.

136 So is it today with real gallant soldiers of faith of that Word, who knows that Word promises that Jesus Christ will return. We ain’t interested in millions of dollars of this and millions of dollars of that. I’m interested in the return of Christ Jesus. O warrior sons of God, what’s the matter with you, how do you stand today? When we see that the Bible predicts that He’s a fugitive today, turned out of His church, turned out of the organizations. And you know it. No need of hiding around about it, it’s the truth. The Bible said it would be that way. Come out from them marks of the beast!

137 Look at these men! They pulled their swords. What was it? His desire was a drink of cool water. David! What a type of today, our David, Christ, we know He’s called a holy roller, He’s cast off to one side, a fanatic in everything, rejected by the churches. They’ve got their creeds and things drawed up in this Christmas like they did at the first one. We know that, but we know that this Word ever remains true, and It’s got to be fulfilled. And the desire of Christ is for men, warriors, to stand! Amen!

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. (Hebrews 4:3-4)

217 But the Holy Spirit will bring you back to pentecost, every time. They did in the Scripture, to everybody, and it will in this day, to everybody. It’ll bring you back to that reality. It will bring you back to a baptism of Power of the Spirit, that will lead you and will never take one Word off the Bible. It’ll stay right in the Bible. Where It says this, It’ll follow right on through It. The Holy Spirit will. It brings a reality.

218 What did He do? He had to get these ignorant fishermen, didn’t even have clothes; just something wrapped around them, fish-aprons, and so forth, no clothes. So ignorant, they couldn’t sign their name; unlearned, no education. But He found somebody. He had to get somebody. But He found men in that kind of a state, that was willing to surrender, that was willing. They had nothing else to hold. They didn’t have any churches, any denominations and anything. They were just ignorant fishermen, sheep herders; didn’t know how to write, didn’t know how to read, nor nothing. But they had nothing to lose, and He got to them and they surrendered it. They said, “Whatever You say, Lord, we’ll do it. We’ll follow You.”

219 But when they completely surrendered and gave their selves over to God, God gave them a pentecostal reality. He led them up to Pentecost, and give them the Holy Ghost. There, where they were, there, under the Spirit of God, making all kinds of foolish signs to the people, stammering and stammering, and carrying on, and trying to…The Bible said. What was they on? They was on the highway.

220 The Bible said, “With stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people, and this is the Rest, of the soul. This is the thing that will come.” Isaiah 28:18, read it. “With stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people. This is the Rest.” Not Sunday; ain’t the Rest day. The Holy Spirit is the Rest day. You Advent brethren; not the seventh-day sabbath is the Rest. The Holy Spirit is the Rest! “With stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people. And this is the Sabbath. This is!” Sabbath means “Rest.” This is the Rest, to the soul, you have Eternal Rest.

221 Like God, when He made the world. The seventh day, He rested after that. He rested, He went on resting.

222 When we enter into God, we rest all the time; not from one Sunday to another. We rest, Eternal. We got Eternal Life. The Holy Spirit gives you Rest.

223 Now, they had a pentecostal experience, a reality of God. They had found something.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: (Psalm 146:5-6)

28 Do you know, that body that you’re living in this morning, was here ten thousand years before one speck of life ever laid on the earth. When God had this old missile hanging out yonder, turning it around the sun and revolving it around this a way, and was creating in there calcium, potash, and petroleums, and so forth, He had in His great mind then that you’d set at this table this morning. Oh, hallelujah, He’s the infinite God.

When a carpenter goes to build a house, how does he do? Lay out all of his lumber first. He’s got in his mind just what he’s going to build. God had, before the world was ever had a speck of life on it, He had your body laying right there. If it didn’t, where did it come from? That’s the reason He was twisting it, and rolling it, and turning it. He would have it to the sun this way and it’d make potash, and He’d turn it back this way, and it’d make calcium. He’d turn it back this way, it would make petroleum. Oh, blessed, be His holy Name.

29 What we got to fear about? We should be the freest and happiest people there is anywhere. And we don’t have to guess about it; God’s in our midst and proves it. That’s right. And it’s according to His Word and His Spirit.

Now let’s take it. Our bodies, before there was even the earth was finished being formed, our bodies that we’re living in right now, was laying on the earth: potash, calcium, petroleum, so forth. Now, let’s take a little picture so we won’t miss it.

And after the earth had been shaped and all of it laying there just a—a bleached desert, never had life on it, never was nothing called life, but all the material was laying there to make our bodies. And I can hear God say to the great Holy Spirit, “Go forth now and brood over the earth.” Now, we know the word “brood” is “to—to mother, like the hen her brood, or—or to coo like a dove calling to its mate.” “Go brood over the earth.”

30 Now, we’ll have to use a imagination here as to make a drama. Then the great Holy Spirit went forth, and spread forth His wings over the earth, and begin to brood for a purpose. And that was to bring forth something to project what God was. As I said the other night, “Which was first, a sinner or a Saviour?” What’s all this about anyhow? Which was first a—a Healer or sickness?

Why, certainly a Healer, cer… Well, why did—why did we ever become sinners then? It had to be that way. If God is a Saviour, He had to have something to save. So there’s nothing wrong; it’s just all working His way. Now, I don’t—couldn’t say this to sinners; I’m saying it to ministers (See?) and children of God. It’s all working all right, no matter what we do, or do not do; it’s going to come out all right. ’Cause what God foreknew He ordained.

Now notice, then as It’s a moving around, as—as—as it is. It’s coming out all right, there’s no need of us worrying, because it’s going to be okay.

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. (Hebrews 2:14-18)

87 Jesus was completely, totally man. He could cry like a man. He could eat like a man. He could be tired like a man. He was completely, totally man, in His physical being. And in His Spirit, He was completely, totally God, so He made His flesh submissive to the Spirit that was in Him. You see, He was tempted in all manners like we are. He was man, not an Angel. He was a man. He had desires and temptations, just like we do. The Bible said He did. He was a man, not an Angel above temptation. Hebrews 1 said, that, “He was…” Hebrews 1:4 said, “He was made lower than the Angels.” He was man, completely man; that God took a complete man, to bring total deliverance, and He filled Him with His Spirit. The Holy Ghost was in Him, without measure. And He was tempted like we were. And He was completely God. He proved it when He raised the dead, when He stopped nature, the roaring seas and the mighty winds. When He spoke to the trees, and so forth, they obeyed Him. He was God, inside. And He could have been man, for He was man, but He totally and completely delivered Himself (as a man) into the hands of God, for the service of God.

88 And He is our example. We are men and women. We’re also Christians. If He’s our example, let us completely deliver ourselves into the hands of the Holy Ghost, that we might be subjects of the Kingdom of God.

89 He was totally man; He was totally God. But He surrendered His natural parts to His…and His physical parts, and His own thinking, and His own doing, and His own cares, and, “I do only that which pleases the Father.” There you are. Totally delivered from human beings. The priests come to Him, the great men, and said, “Rabbi, so-and-so,” and tried to bribe Him into their affiliations and denominations. But He was totally delivered because He trusted in God.

90 Did not the Psalmist say, “Thou will deliver Him, for He has completely trusted in Me”? See? “I will deliver My Darling from the dogs, because He has trusted in Me.”

91 Some hour when we come to the end of life’s journey, I want it for mine. I know you want it for yours. I want Him to say, “I’ll deliver him out of the jaws of death, for he’s trusted in Me. I will deliver him from the grave, on the resurrection morning, totally deliver him, both soul, body, and Spirit, because he has trusted in Me.”
