Spoken Word no. 227
“Honed by the Word creates an atmosphere”
Brian Kocourek, Pastor
February 6th, 2011
Deuteronomy
6: 4 Hear, O
This evening we will speak again from The Spoken Word is
The Original Seed and we will pick up at paragraph 133 where brother
Branham says, 137 Did
you notice that the great seal, it's the pyramid? Anybody ever know that the
pyramid never had the capstone put on it? How many knows that? Sure. I been
there in
138
Here's what taken place: it's just like the Gospel church coming. See, now down
in the wide part of the pyramid, represents the early days of reformation: just
to call yourself a Christian and deny the Catholic church, meant you'd get
killed for it. Then along come... They preached justification by faith. Then
along come... Now, watch the three come back again. Along come John Wesley
preaching sanctification. The church become in the minority more (See?), come
down this a-way. 139
And then after John Wesley's days of sanctification, come the Pentecostal
church, and God took a remnant out of that: each one accepting the Word. See?
Now, when it come down to the Pentecostals, it cut it down a lot closer because
it was the restoration of the gifts, bringing it right on up, make... What is
it? Way down here it's a way away from the looks of the head. Down here it's a
little closer to the head. Up here it's a little closer, but that's got to be
absolutely to fit with the rest of it. It's got to be honed. In that pyramid,
you can take a razor blade, and you can't run between them rocks where the
mortar was; it's so fitly put together. They said Solomon's temple was the
same. See? 140 God
is taking the elect out of that Pentecostal church (that hybrid), pulling it
out, and finishing up the Word. And it's got to be so close until the Word
Itself will blend with this Word. There comes the Headstone, crying,
"Grace, grace, amazing grace." The Headstone, here you are like this
(See?), on there. [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] See, how it way wide down
here? And it keeps getting closer, closer, closer (the ministry), after while
here come... Here's Luther: justification, justified. Here come Wesley:
sanctified bunch. Here come Pentecostal: restoration of the gifts. Now, God's taking from there, honing out a
bunch to make a ministry just exactly like that Word there, because it's got to
fit with the Word. There's the Bride; take Her up.
hone 1 ( h½n) n. 1. A fine-grained whetstone
for giving a keen edge to a cutting tool. 2. A tool with a rotating
abrasive tip for enlarging holes to precise dimensions. v. tr. honed hon·ing hones 1. To sharpen on a
fine-grained whetstone. 2. To perfect or make more intense or effective:
Jesus said, "My
house shall be called a house of prayer." And if we have the same nature
and life as Jesus Christ, then won't our homes be called a house of prayer as
well? In Colossians
3: 4 we read, "When Christ who is
our Life shall appear, then shall we appear with Him in Glory."
So if we appear when He appears, and our appearing is in the same Glory, or
Doxa or mindset. Then won't our homes appear as His home also should be. Then
shouldn't we have the same atmosphere in our homes as we do in this church
which is His house of prayer?
In Deuteronomy 6
we read, (From the Amplified version, with a little 20th century
Americanese added to help make this word more personal to you). "Hear O Royal Seed of God, the Lord God is One Lord, - the
Only Lord. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind and heart,
and with your entire being, and with all your might. And these words, which I
am commanding you this day, shall be first in your mind and heart; then you
shall whet and sharpen them, so as to make them penetrate, and teach and
impress them diligently upon the minds and hearts of your children, and you
shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you drive down the
road, and when you lie down and when you rise up. And you shall tie them as a
symbol on your hands ( In other words, they are tied to your actions,
what you do) and
you shall bind them upon your forehead." ( which means that
they encompass your mind or mindset. And, remember, your forehead is where your
frontal lobe is and that is where your memory is resident. When a person has a
lobotomy they lose there memory. But here we see that they are to take the
preeminent place of our thinking. Even as frontlets between our eyes, that all
we see is the word of God. As phylacteries that go "boing, boing,
boing" as we walk along, and they bounce off our head. A constant
reminder. And then He continues), "And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and
on your gates." Why? So that whether you are coming or whether
you are going, there will always be a constant reminder set before you of God's
promises to you in this hour.
2 peter 1: 2 - 4 Because the promises contain the very nature
of God and by receiving the promises or His Word, you receive the very life in
the Word, And therefore, the very nature of God.
Brother
Branham wanted to keep the Lord always before Him and he wanted his own home to
have the same atmosphere around it as there was in church. Love, Reverence, and
the fear of God. Brother Branham even asked his own father to never come around
to his home when he had been drinking. Now, as I mentioned last night that one
of these days I will bring out three points that will make any marriage better.
In fact if you are diligent to follow these three points, your marriage will be
blessed. Now, each partner has three points. First we'll touch on the men's
three points of marriage.
#1) Ephesians 5: 25 "Husbands, Love your
wives, EVEN AS Christ loved the church, to the point of giving Himself for it;
"
Now this is point #1)
Husbands, you must love your wives even as. That means your love must be equal
with her as for yourself. What you do for yourself, you must love to do for
her. You spend $50 dollars on your self, you had better be not only willing but
wanting to spend $50 on her. You spend $15,000 on your self for tools or
equipment or pleasure, you had better have $30,000. Because she deserves her share
as well. $15,000 for her would be EVEN AS.
And
the words Even as means the same as. Your Love must be EVEN AS. And Paul let's
us know that Christ is our example who considered you and I even before
Himself, because He laid down His own Life for us. So we see your love must be
self sacrificial in nature.
#2) 1 Corinthians 7: 3 "
Let the Husband
render unto his wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto her
husband." So here we see a principal in the marriage that Paul
says both husband and wife must utilize. To render due benevolence. This word
Benevolence is a Greek word eunoia you - anoy - ya. And it means to show forth
good will and kindness. Paul uses the same word in Ephesians 6: 6 – 7 Not with eyeservice,
as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; 7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord,
and not to men:
#3) Colossians 3: 19 " Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter
against them." Be not bitter, this is point number #3) Husbands, in the process of loving
your wives, even as, do not become bitter with them. Bitter, = Pikraino to
embitter, to exasperate, to render angry, to be sharp or disagreeable, harsh or
severe. Strong feeling of hatred or resentment.
Now
wives, wouldn't you just love it if your husband would always consider these 3
principals in your marriage? But are you aware that you control whether he
feels bitterness toward you or not? Are you aware that you are in the control
seat when it comes to this? Let's just look at what the bible tells us about
your 3 principals. If you keep these 3 principals, you will never have to worry
about an angry husband.
# 1) Colossians 3: 18 "Wives, submit yourselves
unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord." Ephesians 5: 22
"Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." Submit = hupotasso = to
subordinate, to place yourself under , to yield yourself to his decision
making, to yield to his actions and control, to be obedient. Not just obedience
because animals can show obedience.
James 3: 3 You put a bit in the horses mouth to make him
obey. So it is not just obedience here but submit means an act of
the your will, not his. Though you may even know better than he, yet you have
made a choice to give up your choice, just the Bride of Christ gives over her
will to her Grooms, to receive His mindset, so does a true Bride give over her
will to meet his will and his headship 1st. Remember, he says, "as unto
the Lord" or " as it is fit in the Lord" So your submission is
unto the Lord through your husband. Now, He descends with a Shout which is a
military command and it is said that we submit to this command. It comes forth
bringing all things into subjection to Him.
1 Peter 3: 1 -2 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to
your husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word
be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste
conversation coupled with fear. ( now, this word conversation is not her
talking. It has nothing to do with talk. It is a Greek word, anastrophe which
means her manner of life, her conduct , her behavior. Remember the story
brother Branham tells about the man who was out drinking with his buddies and
they got into a conversation down at the bar as to whether there any real
Christians any more or not. And he said, tell you what, My wife is a real
Christian.
And
so they bet him and they planned how they would put her to the test. They came
home acting as if they were drunk and carrying on. He crashed through the door
and said in a harsh manner as though he was drunk, " Make me some
eggs." She proceeded to cook up some eggs and when she served them to him,
he through them on the floor and shouted, "That's not the way I like
them!" And he said, 'come on boys, let's get out of here." And they
left the kitchen. Instead of doing what most women would do, and throw a fit
and begin cussing and screaming, this woman just started to clean up the eggs
and as she did she began to sing, "Must Jesus bear the cross alone, and
all the world go free, no, there's a cross for every one and there's a cross
for me." And that night she led her husband and his friends to Christ.
It's not a matter of trying to get even, it's called submission.
#2) Ephesians 5: 33 After Paul tells the men they must
love their wives even as they love themselves, then he tells the wives, " and the wife, see
that she reverence her husband."
Now this word
reverence is a Greek word, phobeo, not phobia. Now some of you might have a
phobia about this phobeo, but it actually has a partial meaning of to fear, to
be struck with fear, to be seized with alarm; of those startled by strange
sights or occurrences, of those struck with amazement. ( Now I'm sure this must
occur once about, ... oh I guess about every morning when you see that awful
looking, dis-sheveled sight of half man, half animal get up out of bed and you
look at him and you cry in your pillow and you say, what a fearful looking
monster that is. But the word also means to reverence, and venerate (which
means to almost worship, and to look upon with deep feelings of respect and
love.)
So
we see that if you reverence your husband with a deep respect and you submit
yourself to your husband, and principal #3) is as we said before, to render due
benevolence which is to be kind and good will toward him, how could he ever be
bitter or angry or stingy with you. What you are doing is you are creating an
atmosphere.
Remember the woman who
came to brother Branham and told him that she did not love her husband. Brother
Branham asked her if she wanted to love him and she said, yes. So he got her to
promise that she would do what he counseled her to do. So he said, for the next
6 weeks, just act as though you do. Do the things for him that you used to do
when you loved him. And within a few weeks she was back in love again. You see,
what was it? She created an atmosphere, and he fell into it. And he began to
respond to the atmosphere that she had created. And they were both back in love
again. It was her that created the atmosphere, but it affected them both.
THE TOKEN 63-0901 pg. 49 5 Apply it, create that atmosphere around
you, that they will just drop right into it. Oh, you are , if you've got the
Token, you create an atmosphere around you of power, that when you walk, people
know that you are a Christian. In love for you to say something to them. They
believe your word, what you say, they hold onto it. See? That is it. Apply the
Token, then walk in it. Claim your household. You must do it, now. This is the
evening time.
EXPLAINING HEALING AND JAIRUS 54-021635 And we ought to get ourselves in that kind
of an atmosphere. Create... Each one of you is a creator. Did you know that?
Each one of you people that's borned again is a creator. We must create an
atmosphere as I said the other night. Sometimes when I'm in the home, and the
wife is all--the people in and out, and just going all the time... I'd go in,
and wife standing in there wiping her eyes crying, she said, "Bill, the
children hasn't even had a bite to eat today; the house is packed and
jammed." There little Sarah, my little two year old girl setting in there,
she's crying. Rebekah's come in from school. My wife, all nervous, has got that
atmosphere there. See? That's what it is. So I go and I say, "Well, I tell you,
honey; that's true & I say, "Sweetheart," (you know to get her
quietened down in a kind way) . Then I, in my heart, I say, "Lord, I am
giving my love of God into my wife. Now, Lord, help me now, here, and I want
Your Spirit. Now, Satan would get us all confused, but I want You to help
me." (Now, I don't fuss at her. See? No. " I just say, that's right,
honey." See? "It's very bad, but you see we're serving the
Lord," See, what I'm doing all the time in my heart, I am trying to create
a different atmosphere. They're all nervous and they're tore up. See? Now, I
was thinking in my heart, "O Lord, send Your Presence now and Your love to
my poor little tore up wife." And then I say, "Yes, dear. That's
right." I say, "What was this here?" "Oh, we haven't had
anything to eat and..." I say, "Well, there probably won't be anybody
else in for the next couple of hours so Let's get something to eat and I'll
help you." And I'll start getting up my sleeves and She'd say, "Now,
look, young man, you might be able to help me wash dishes but you can't
cook." Then I will say in a joking way, "Who can't cook?" Like
that, you know, just going on. "Well, you haven't never seen me fry
potatoes yet. I was raised on them," like that--or something like that.
And I'll see a little bitty smile trickle on one side, you know. And the first
thing you know, I come over, and I put my hand on her. Now, She don't know what
I'm doing yet. And I say, "Bless your heart, honey. I'll tell you what,
I'll help you do this." And then down in my heart I'm saying, "Lord,
send Your peace that's in me into her now. O God, quieten my family now. I'm Your
servant, Father. " And I say, "Say, dear, I'll help you wash the
dishes." And I get on there, and I say, "You just start with the
children like, and say something there." And I'm standing there all the
time praying, "Now, Lord, send Your Holy Spirit; I know it's quieting them
right now. And I'm sending it in this home, my home, in the Name of Your Son
Jesus." The first thing you know, the wife says, She'd be interested in
talking about something. The baby's got blocks a playing in there, going on and
It's all over. See? I seen a little smile come out of the side of her face, and
I thought, "Thank You, Lord." Just kept on, I said, "we'll will
get supper ready right quick and then We'll shove out right quick, and go
somewhere. Let's get in the old car and puddle around down along on the hill
somewhere." I said, "We will just have a good time." And she
just started getting supper ready. Every once in a while I would walk over. And
I was praying, "Oh, Lord, now just let me create this atmosphere being
happy instead of being like this." I laid my hands on her like that, and I
said, "Honey, you know what?" She thought, I just put my hands on and
talk to her, but I was laying my hands on her in Jesus' Name. See? Then, I say,
"Honey, you know what? It's just marvelous. You know, this coming summer,
we're going up into the mountains, as soon as I get a little time for
vacation." I said, "I'd like to see them kids catch one of those
trout. Wouldn't you like that?" And She said, "Oh, that was a lot of
fun." And then, I notice it was coming right along, and I said...
"Yes, honey, that's just fine." And inside I'm thinking, ("O
Lord God, please... ") And the first thing you know, she was a laughing
and singing and the kids had their blocks in there just a playing, and having a
big time. So I had my hand on her little shoulder, and I begin to try to
create, in my heart. "Lord, I'm happy. There's nothing wrong with me. I
love You, You know I do, and You just straighten out my little family."
And after while, I said, "Tell you what, honey, I'll show you where those
dresses are." Then I'll... When she got quiet, I looked down, and Sarah
and Becky had signed the peace treaty, and they were playing; and little Joseph
was just a shaking his little rattle box and having a good time. You see,
you've got to get in the right kind of an atmosphere It's the atmosphere. You
got to get away from that old confusion, but the thing of it is, is that You're
scared. That what's the matter. You'll be frying your meat of a morning for
breakfast, and the first thing you know, you're filled with the Holy Spirit.
Now, I'm going to shock you a little bit. You don't mind, do you? All right.
For instance, the meat's a frying, and all at once the grease pops out on your
hand. Now, if you'll just shake it off and go on frying meat, it wouldn't
bother you. Now, I know you didn't get that just right. Look. The first thing,
"Oh, where's the Ungantene?" or Something like that and You grab your
hand. See? It scares you to death. That's what does it. It's fear. See, that's
the way it is. But, You just keep believing, create the atmosphere. Never let
doubt come around you. Believe all the time. Don't accompany any of that doubt
at all. No, sir. No matter what the circumstances are, push away your doubt.
Walk right on, and through it. Just refuse it. Yes, sir. Don't give no grounds
at all.
1 John 4: 17 - 18 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may
have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love
casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect
in love.
Fear has torment =
Kolasis = punishment or penalty, and what is the penalty? it has to do with
causing to hold back, to check, curtail, or restrain In other words as long as
you are under fear, you will not move forward. You tighten up and stop your
progress.
Peter walking on the water.
He was walking all right, till he seen the waves contrary and he got scared.
Jesus said, "Why'd you fear?" That's what's the matter with the Holy
Ghost people today. They've got a lot they're afraid...The devil's just trying
to scare you out of something. He's trying to put something off somewhere else,
say, "Some of these days you'll be this." You are now. Now, we're
sons of God. Now, we're seated together in heavenly places. Now, we have all
powers in heavens and the earth. See? Now, we have it. Not in the millennium,
we won't need it then. We got it now. We're... Right now we are the sons of
God. "It does not appear what we shall be, but we know we'll be like
Him." What you are here is a reflection of what you are somewhere else.
"Those who He called, He justifies." Is that right? "Those who
He justified, He has glorified." Already in the Presence of the Father, we
have a glorified body. Whew! Wasn't that deep? All right. We'll find out
whether it's right or not. "If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we
have one already waiting." Is that right? That's right. So right now, and
what we are there, is a reflection. Here, what we are here, is a reflection of
what we are somewhere else. So if your deeds are evil, you know where it comes
from. You know where your other body's a waiting.
Curtain of Time 55-030233 And notice, while they spake about Him,
talked about Him, He appeared. That's a good way to get Him around you: talk
about Him all the time. Amen. Keep your conversation, not on who's... Or where
the next play comes up on the television, or the next movies going to come, or
who's going to be elected president: talk about Jesus. Christians talk about
everything but Christ in these days. Go out, they always got a bunch of
nonsense and everything they want to talk about or something, but never talking
about Christ. Talk about Him. Sing about Him. Love Him; keep Him on your heart
and mind all the day and night. David said about the, he'd bind the laws upon
his fingers and the bedpost, and so He'd be before him all the time. That's the
way; keep Him before you in memory, thoughts, praise, speech. All that should
do is keep Christ before you. That's the way to keep Him near you.
Personal Experience with God
54-072448 Now, I'm going to give you a
little secret. If you love people, people will know it. Did you know that man
is a creator in himself? How many believes that? He's a son of God in his
fallen condition... He's a creator. Was you ever around someone, that you just
love to be around? You've had those people. What is it? It's because of their
atmosphere, that they create around them. You've been in nice people, but yet,
you couldn't stand to be around them. It's their atmosphere. It's love. Love
goes out deep; it does great things. And Jesus Christ is the Love of God.
Do you now believe? 55-061033 Now, let me tell you something: Each man
that's born again with the Spirit of God in him is a miniature creator. Now,
that might shake you a little, but that's the truth. We're in the image of God.
God is a Creator. That's the reason that you can believe that God could heal a
person, because God is in you, and God made this world. He just spoke it, and
His Word become material. The very ground that you're setting on is the Word of
God made manifest. If He didn't, where do He get it? See? He just spoke it, and
it turned into existence. He believed in His own Word. And if a man's born of
the Spirit of God, he's an offspring of God; and that part of God is in him,
and he believes every word that God says will materialize. See? And so, that
makes him part of God. The Holy Spirit in the man makes him a part of God. And
now, did you ever see people, nice people, but you just couldn't hardly stand
to be around? Sure you have. You don't have nothing against them, but you can't
stand to be around them. Then you seen
some person that's, oh, maybe a little old scrawny fellow, or a little old woman
bent over a washtub, but you just love to around that person. You just love
them, somehow. It's the atmosphere that they've got around them, the way they
live; they create an atmosphere that you like to be into. That's lovely people
to be with.
Hidden Life in Christ 55-1110 42 Now the refreshing from the Presence of
the Lord, something about them, something about a real Christian that you love
to be around And there's a power there You create your own atmosphere around
you. Remember the night the maniac run to the platform to kill me up here at
Divine Love 56-082618 Now, what you want to do is be lifted up
by Christ into a--an atmosphere to where you are happy, peaceful, and then in
there you create a situation.... In the atmosphere that you live in, you
project to your associates what you are.
Hebrews 10 : 22 - 25 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full
assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and
our bodies washed with pure water.23 Let us hold
fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)24 And let us consider one another to
provoke unto love and to good works:25 Not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but
exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Provoke
to love, to an outward display of their revelation.
1 Thessalonians 1: 2 - 7 2 We give thanks to
God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;3 Remembering
without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in
our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;4 Knowing,
brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our
gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy
Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you
for your sake.6 And ye became followers of us, and
of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe
in Macedonia and Achaia . They became examples of faith manifested
Show us the Father it will satisfy 56-0422 83 You are a creator yourself, a miniature
creator. Listen. Did you ever see people that was nice people, though you just
couldn't be around them hardly, something about them you just couldn't stand?
Did you ever see people that you just love to be around? Did you ever see them
kind of people? That's the atmosphere that they create themselves. And let me
tell you today, my dear friends, the greatest thing there is this side of
heaven is l-o-v-e, Divine love. God is Love. You read in the book when a maniac
run out to kill me on the platform that night. I didn't hate the man; I loved
him, sure, felt sorry for him. That's what slew him on the platform. That's
what slew those witch-doctors standing there that day...?... human beings that
God died for, standing there trying to throw spells on me, witches like that.
Standing there before Him, and you see them fall to the ground, throw their
head down like this, and give their hearts to Christ. It was love that did it.
Love is the mightiest force there is. Even phileo love will make a mother jump
through a fire to grab her burning baby. She won't think of herself.
Love 56-072623 And when Divine love has been projected
and comes to Its end, then sovereign grace will take its place. Now, that's my
text. When Divine love has been projected... Project Divine love and it comes
to its end, till it can't go no farther, then sovereign grace will come in and
take its place. Now, do you realize, being a son or daughter of God, that you
are a minor creator? Do you know you create the atmosphere that you live in? Do
you realize that the atmosphere that you dwell in, you influence somebody else?
What makes people act the way they do? Is because... What makes the drunks like
to be with drunks. As my mother used to say the old proverb, and I think it's
southern here too: "Birds of a feather flock together," because they
have things in common.
Divine Love 57-030517 And you know that there's some kind of
people that's real good people, only you just can't hardly stand to be around
them. That's right. Why is it? They create that atmosphere. And there's some
kind of people that you just love to be around. They create that atmosphere
that they live in. Now, it's a supernatural thing. Now, when the Presence of
the Lord comes down, it creates an atmosphere for faith. And when... I thought,
"Now, Lord God, You help me." Now, you've got to create an
atmosphere, and your faith will do it. They were all in the upper room with one
accord, when suddenly there came from heaven as a sound of a rushing mighty
wind; the atmosphere was right. It takes a atmosphere to do anything. You know,
the regular procedure to hatch chickens is to put them under the hen. But get
the egg in the right atmosphere, it'll hatch anyhow. Listen, brother, if a man
loves God, and the right kind of an atmosphere he could get into, it'll produce
a new born babe just as certain as I am here. It's the atmosphere that counts.
Let this little handful of people setting here tonight, get in the perfect
atmosphere, watch what takes place. There will not be a feeble among a--one in
our midst. The cripples will walk; the blind will see; the deaf will hear; the
dumb will speak without prayer or anything. It's the atmosphere. That's how
twenty-five thousand was healed at one prayer in
Love 58-0313 38 There's something about a man or a woman,
you are a miniature creator. Have you ever seen people that you just love to be
around? It's the atmosphere they create around them. Others nice people that
you just can't stand to be around them. They create that by the way they live
and the way they think. It's a little atmosphere you live in.
Love 57-0519E15 Did you ever see a person that's a good
person, you think they are nice, but there's just something about the person
you just don't like to be around them? Certainly you do. And then, you've seen
people that you just love to be around. What is it? It's that creative power that's
upon the people that create an atmosphere around where they're at. If they're
full of love, not make-belief, but real love, you can feel it. You know that
they're Christians. They shake your hand, say, "I'm your friend,
John." You can feel it.
I know it's the truth, that
man create in himself the atmosphere that he lives in. And around him he's
anointed with a spirit. I have seen people that you just couldn't get away from
them; you just loved them. There's something drawing about them. It's because they
live in that atmosphere, they live under the--the power of the Holy Spirit.
Hear Ye Him 58-0328 44 And it's come down home to the
Pentecostals, acting, and dressing, fashioning, looking, talking, blaspheming,
making fun, indifferent. That's rough, but it's good for you. It's the truth.
But that's the reason the world can't see nothing genuine. When the people
comes to a place that they'll forget all their little differences, and the love
of God will shed abroad in our heart by the real Teacher, the Holy Ghost,
you'll become salty, and the world will want to be like you. You create a creation
around you. You've seen people you couldn't stand to be around, yet they were
nice people. They create that within themselves. You've seen people you love to
be with, because they create that atmosphere around them. Your spirit's your
soul. You can't hide it; you can't make believe. That's what's the matter
today. There is too much make belief in Christianity.
It wasn’t so from the
beginning 60-1127M8
Did you ever meet people that you just loved to be with? You've had that, and
why, they create that atmosphere by their--their life, the way they live, and
the things they think about, and the love they have for you. You've heard my
message on the--the opossum, you know, and on the bees trying to sting me, the
bull trying to kill me, animals... See? It--it'll do... You create an
atmosphere, and that's the atmosphere you have to be in to pray for the sick.
See? It's the same thing. It's love that casts out evil spirits.
Awakening Jesus 63-011711 And we create our atmosphere around us,
each one of us. You've been with people that were nice people, but you just
couldn't hardly be around them. Then you've been with other people that you
just loved to be around them. You create that atmosphere. And, oh, wouldn't you
have loved to have been around Jesus just a little? Wonderful! See what that
atmosphere He created would have been. I imagine it was just one great big
bundle of love, and respects, and godly fear.
Identification 63-012319 Now Jesus gave us the example of what we
ought to be looking at, when He reflected his life to us through the Word--what
we should see. When we look into God's mirror, we should see ourselves
identified with Him. That is a perfect example. Now, but we find out that as we
go along through life that our character molds the image that we are. Each one
knows that. As you live, so is... Your character molds you to what you are.
Now, you have seen people that you just love to be around. Yet they might not
exactly be in your bracket of society. And again, they might be of a different
race--the colored, or the brown, or the yellow. But there's just something
about that character, that you just love to be in their presence. Because each
person is a little dynamo of their own, and you put out an atmosphere. And then
you see people that were noble people, but yet you were always glad to get away
from them. It's just they create such an atmosphere around where you are.
Nothing against them. They're nice people, but you just don't like that
atmosphere they're in. And their character creates whatever they are, makes
them what they are.
Is Your life worthy of the Gospel? 63-0630E51 And did you know, you are a little creator
yourself? Did you know that? Certainly! You've seen people that you just love
to be around; you don't know why, just that loving type of person. Haven't you
seen that? Just as kind... You like to be around them. That's... They create
that atmosphere by the life they live, the way they talk, their conversation.
Then you've seen those that every time you--you shun them. All the time they
want to talk about something evil and talk about somebody, and say, "Oh,
my, there they come, they're going to criticize somebody. They're... He's in
here now; he's going to talk about this man. All they're going to do is tell
dirty jokes, or something about women, or something like that." You just
hate to get around them. See? They create. Seemingly pretty nice people, but
they create that atmosphere. And the things that you think on, the things that
you do, the actions, the things you talk about creates an atmosphere...
The Token 63-0901M9-1 They was applying the token. Amen. That's
it. Get ready. Apply it. Believe it. Clean up. Let your children, let your
family, let your loved ones see it in you. That's right. It'll take effect.
Yes, sir. Then apply the Token in prayer with--with--with consideration, with
believing. Apply it with such love and so forth, you know it's--it's going to
take place. That's all. Apply it in confidence, believing it's going to help.
When you talk to that child, when you talk to your husband, talk to your wife,
talk to this loved one, believe that it's going to help, and stand there and
say, "Lord, I've claimed them; they're mine. I'm getting them for You,
Lord."
The Token 63-0901M49-5 Apply it, create that atmosphere around
you, that they'll just drop right into it. See? Oh, you are--you are--if you've
got the Token, you create a spirit around you of power, that when you walk,
people know that you're a Christian. They love for you to say something to
them. They believe your word; what you say, they hold on to it. See? That is
it. Apply the Token; then walk with it. Claim your household. You must do it
now. This is evening time.
Malachi 3:16 - 18 Then they that feared the LORD spake often
one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance
was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his
name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of
hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man
spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and
discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and
him that serveth him not.

Sounds
like the same principals that should be in our marriages, doesn't it. And why
not, He is our Groom and we are His bride.
Identification 63-0123 that atmosphere they're in. And their
character creates whatever they are, makes them what they are.
Philippians 4:4 - 9 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I
say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
[are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure,
whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if
[there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in
me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
