JAMES 4 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will

draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your]

hearts, [ye] double minded.

HEBREWS 7 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

17 For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and

unprofitableness thereof. 19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the

bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

HEBREWS 7 20 And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was

made priest]: 21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for

ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better

testament. 23 And they truly were many priests, because they

were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24 But this [man], because he continueth ever,

hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

HEBREWS 7 26 For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made

higher than the heavens; 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to

offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered

up himself. 28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the

law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

EXODUS 3 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off

thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy ground.

MATTHEW 15 7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you,

saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their

heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for]

doctrines the commandments of men.

PSALMS 65:4 4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple.

JOHN 6:44 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will

raise him up at the last day.

344-325 God takes men and makes them different, not man taking God and becoming different. God takes men and makes him different. It's not

what you do, what you will, what you think; it's what God does. There you are. And that's the story.

HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212

216 There's the blood Cell. Where was It begin? One blood cell. Is that right? What was inside that

blood Cell? The Life of God. What happened to that blood Cell? It was speared by sin. A Roman spear

sinned it--speared it. Why? Because sin was placed upon It. And it pleased God. Justification was bought

right there. God said, "That settles it forever." There it is. And that blood Cell was pierced.


218 What happened to the blood Cell? Did It just perish and run out? No, sir. It sprayed. It loosened up.

It loosened up, so many sons could be born.


This same Spirit lives here on earth today. And It's got a spray around It like this. It's not--not hard, you can--where you can't get in. It's loose so you

can come in, loose so he can come in. Why? That through the pulling of a sinner through this blood Cell

to Himself... "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto Me."


221 And when He pulls that sinner through that blood Cell, He cleanses him from all

unrighteousness (Hallelujah.), and brings him in by the Holy Ghost into Himself. And the sinner is a new

creature in Christ Jesus, baptized in there by the Holy Spirit. Pulls him in here, and the part of the man

in there is godly. He's a son of God. She's a daughter of God. Any desires of the world is dead, 'cause they're on... Between him and the world is

the Blood of Jesus Christ.Then he hopes all things, believes all things.

Hallelujah. What God says, he says, "That's the Truth. Live or die, what difference does it make? It's the

Truth. I'm moving on."


345-330 God looking through the red Blood, look at red sin, it becomes white. The believer can't sin.

Certainly not. The Seed of God, the blessings of God, remains on him. God can't see nothing but the

Blood of His own Son. No matter what it is in His Church, what it is, God don't see it, because Jesus is making intercessions constantly, the High Priest. No way for him to sin when such a

Sacrifice is laying there for him like that. Certainly not.And now, if you say, "Well, that gives me a good

chance." Then that shows you're not right.


346-332 You'll appreciate that; you'll love it (if you're a real Christian) to a place that sin would

haunt you till you couldn't do it. "For the Seed of God remains in him, and he cannot sin." The Bible

said, "Once purged by the Blood of Jesus, has no more desire of sin..." If you have a desire, your heart's

not right with God.

ROMANS 8 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us

with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what

[is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of]

God.


351-368 Through all of our goodness, and all of our goodness, and all of our goodness, we're still carnal. But once in the Presence of God, recognizing that we could never stand there, only through the merits of

Jesus Christ; then we draw nigh unto God through the merits of His Son, "Lord, I come to You with an innocent heart. In the Name of Thy Son Jesus, please receive me." O brother, you're coming by a living

way then.


Not, "Lord, You know I quit drinking; You know I treat my wife right; You know I do this, I do that." You have

nothing to offer. For the law of carnal commandments could do nothing, but bringing in of another hope did. That hope which is Christ, we have

as a anchor of the soul, steadfast and sure.


It's love that does it.

MATTHEW 22 36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in

the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and

with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

JOHN 1422 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto

the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make

our abode with him.

BEING.LED.OF.THE.HOLY.SPIRIT_ MINNEAPOLIS.MN SUNDAY_ 56-0219

So that's the--that's the way it is about knowing Christ. You can know Him, but is there feeling, a feeling, a

real love feeling, a real fellowship? That's the way, that's the secret to the success. That's the way, is a real genuine love that's not put on. It's real and

God knows it's real. And so does Satan know it's real, when you love the Lord with a real genuine love.

ISRAEL.IN.EGYPT_ JEFF.IN IC 1-34 WEDNESDAY_ 53-0325

What is the Holy Ghost today to a human being when It comes? It's to circumcise. It circumcises you away

from the things of the world, the love of the world, the love of the flesh, the pride of life. It just circumcises

you from that. You have nothing to do with it; It does it Itself and puts you in love with Jesus Christ with

an undying love.

LAMB.AND.THE.DOVE_ OAKLAND.CA MONDAY_ 57-0325

E-82 When you love God, all the fears just scatter everywhere, and you just, say, "God, You're right. And I love You, and I'm healed; and I just go on

and take it." That's it. Everything can happen spontaneously, if you just believe it.

MINISTRY.EXPLAINED_ MINNEAPOLIS.MN TUESDAY_ 50-0711

E-48 God created you a free moral agent to do whatever you want to do about it. He can't make you love Him, and He don't force you to love

Him.

MINISTRY.EXPLAINED_ MINNEAPOLIS.MN TUESDAY_ 50-0711

He wants us to love Him, and come, and believe His Word.

E-38 But notice, as they come, that stirred emotion in Jerusalem. And finally, day and night, up-and-down the crooked streets, everywhere, seeing if they could find Him on Hallelujah Avenue. He wasn't there. They went over to the signs and wonders. He wasn't there.

They tried every street, and He wasn't there.You don't know Christ by hallelujahs. You don't know

Christ by dancing in the Spirit; that's an attribute. You know Christ by knowing Him as a Person that's

come into your heart in the form of the Holy Ghost, and taken your sins away, and planted an

undying faith in a resurrected Lord Jesus.

HIS.WONDERS.TO.PERFORM_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 58-0112A

And you'll know it by what kind of life it makes you live, by the love and the faith that's in your heart

to Him.

I JOHN 4 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and

knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God

is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the

world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for

our sins.

1 John 4:7 AMPBeloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs)

from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively]

to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge

of Him].

GALATIANS 3:13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,

being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

II CORINTHIANS 5:21For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be

made the righteousness of God in him.

GOD'S.COVENANT.WITH.ABRAHAM_ CHARLOTTE.NC SATURDAY_ 56-0428

E-91 Two thousand years has passed and He's just as live, standing here right now, as He was the day when He walked on the shores of Galilee. How it

ought to make you love Him, and go to church, and quit the things you're doing, and try to get every body

to love and serve Him.

UNITED.UNDER.ONE.HEAD_ MIDDLETOWN.OH WEDNESDAY_ 58-0326

E-36 God made a place in there to put Himself in. God wants you to be filled with Himself.

What takes place when you're filled with God? When you're filled with God, you're filled with the Holy Ghost, you're filled with power, you're filled with love, with

joy, with peace, with longsuffering, with goodness, with meekness, with gentleness, with worship. You're

filled with joy.David said, "My cup runneth over." And if David had a cup running over before the Holy Ghost come, what

would it be now?

STRAIT.IS.THE.GATE_ JEFF.IN CH 35-66 SUNDAY_ 59-0301M

175 We pray, Lord, that there'll not be a person leave here but what will be filled with Your Spirit.

Maybe there won't be one emotion from the outside when it happens. But, Lord, go on the inside, pull off

the shell, and show us what we are, Lord. Grant it. And then fill us with Your Spirit, with a heart that's true

and pure. And in this time of persecutions and hard trials, You'll grow sweeter and dearer to us as we walk along, waiting for that day. While tears run

down our cheeks, for the sins of the city, may the Holy Spirit look down and say, "There's one that I can mark; he's Mine; she's Mine." Grant it, Lord. May it be found

among us today.
