Volume 9 The Keeping Power for the Mind
by Ernest Angley
The enemy is doing all he can to disturb and trouble the Children
of God, but in this final hour, you must learn as never before how
to have peace of mind. And the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
The Lord wants to be the peace in your mind; He will not only
keep your soul, but your mind. If you are saved, you will go to
heaven; but without Jesus as your peace of mind, the journey September 1992
there will be miserable. God does not want you to be miserable,
but to accept Jesus as your peace. For he is our peace
(Ephesians 2:14).
Topics: Your Mind
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon
all flesh (Acts 2:16,17). This is the mighty pouring-out time of the Holy Spirit. The greatness that
men of God in the Old Testament had the greatness of the prophets, major and minor, is all ours.
That which God served the children of God in the past is this that we have today, this that we have
today is that which they had. This faith we have is the same faith that Noah and Abraham had. The
Spirit, the power that causes us to please God is the same that caused God to take Enoch to heaven
alive.
Moses had great power; that is this and this is that which he had. Remember, Moses had so much
power from heaven that when he told God, I am not able to bear all this people alone,
because it is too heavy for me, God told him to choose seventy men and bring them to the
tabernacle. Then God came down in a cloud, spoke and took of the spirit that was upon him
[Moses], and gave it unto the seventy elders (Numbers 11:14,25). The Bible does not tell us
that the Lord sent any power from heaven for the seventy; He took it all from Moses. Think of one
man having enough power to supply seventy men to help carry his load! Moses had a lighter load,
but less power.

After studying Moses, I have always been afraid to tell the Lord that my burden was too much. I
don't want the Lord to take away any of His power from me. I need it all. I would rather have a
heavy load and much power than a light load and a little power. When you ask the Lord for power,
be willing to carry a great load. I wonder if Moses ever regretted telling the Lord that the load was
too heavy. I imagine he did.
The soul has unlimited capacity; it can hold all of heaven, all the greatness of God the Father, God
the Son and God the Holy Ghost. The world cannot understand such a soul; they think that one is
delusional when he declares that Jesus is living on the inside, that the Holy Ghost is with him as his
teacher, that God the Father is living and dining with him. The world cannot accept the reality of a
born-again soul because they don't know God, they don't know the soul that came from God or how
to draw from the soul to feed the mind.
As the Israelites were about to enter the land of Canaan, Moses reached the end of his days on
Earth. So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to
the word of the Lord. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against
Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. And Moses was an
hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural
force abated (Deuteronomy 34:5-7). I once felt sorry for Moses because after all his hard work,
after all the grief the Israelites had given him, he died before setting foot in the Promised Land.
Then one day I woke up. Lord, you did Moses a great favor! Look at the difficulties the Israelites
encountered in Canaan! Moses missed them all. He was in heaven having a glorious time. We
don't always know how to put things into perspective, what the priorities are for happiness and joy.
Never pity someone in heaven; rejoice for them. Pity the ones left behind with no hope for
heaven. The righteous is taken away from the evil to come (Isaiah 57:1).
Who will take the mantle, who will carry the power of God after Moses? God must have human
vessels to carry His power, to pour Himself through. That power which has been used for God in
the past has been given to us. God furnishes it for us to use for Him in this hour. This is that.
After Moses died, Joshua took on his huge responsibility, but he also took much power of God with
it. It doesn't matter how great the responsibility God lays at your door; as long as you use His
power for that responsibility you will be all right. If you have a load greater to handle than the
power God has given to you, you are loaded down with some things you shouldn't have. Unload.
Those overwhelming burdens can't be the Lord's because He gives power to carry His burden. Any
burden the Lord lays on you comes with His power to carry it. Never say you don't have power to
carry the Lord's burdens; He gives it to you.
We must know the burden of the Lord, for it's easy to collect unnecessary burdens. God's burdens
2 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
are not the same for everyone. Because His burdens are numerous, the Lord divides them among
His Children. He needs many vessels that He can fill with His greatness. In this hour the Bride
will carry His responsibilities, forgetting the unnecessary ones.
The Early Church didn't seem to be involved with their own burdens; they were busy carrying the
burdens of Jesus. They loved Him so much it was a joy to do whatever they could for Him.
Although it cost many of them their lives, they died in the faith and love of God. Losing sight of
everything, gladly they gave themselves in death for His holy name. They refused to give up the
responsibility of the burdens the Lord wanted them to carry.
Because that is this and this is that, we, like the Early Church can step forward to carry the burdens
of the Lord, knowing we will have all the power needed; we will not break down beneath the load.
The Lord will help us. Jesus knows what it means for God to move in and give strength when the
body is overtaxed. He fell beneath the cross; He knows what it means to have help to carry the
cross, and He will be there to help you every time. Blessed be the name of the Lord! Expect those
nail-riven hands to reach out, helping you lift the cross whenever you need help. Jesus is delighted
to help you carry the cross.
Joshua was told to march around the walls of Jericho with the people. With them went the mighty
power of heaven, a power greater than anything Joshua could have imagined. Joshua had
commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your
voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout;
then shall ye shout (Joshua 6:10). We all must learn in this final hour to keep our mouths shut
until the Lord tells us to shout. If we open our mouths at the wrong time, we could talk doubt,
could decide the walls are too thick to come tumbling down. Shout when it's God's time to shout,
and the walls of adversity will fall down flat.
Seven days the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho in the power of God. Blowing a few
rams' horns didn't cause the walls to fall down—it was the power of God. So the people shouted
when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard
the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell
down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and
they took the city (Joshua 6:20).
Total obedience to the Lord brought the miracle. The shout of faith struck the walls with such force
that the walls fell down flat, and every man went into Jericho straight ahead. But first, the
Israelites had to die to pride, to ego. It's hard to be egotistical about marching around a wall and
keeping your mouth shut. What are you doing out there? We're getting ready for the walls to fall
down. When the Israelites died completely to self, they were ready to shout the shout of God.
You aren't ready to give the shout that will tear down walls until you die out to self, until ego is
gone and your trust is placed in the Lord completely.
3 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
Again and again the walls will tumble in this final hour. Don't consider any wall impossible for the
power of God and the faith of those who trust Him completely. Look at your walls today and
decide that this we have today is that which brought down the walls of Jericho. Walls, you are
coming down.
When you know all you have to do is to be totally obedient to the Lord, it isn't difficult to march
around the walls. He is not a hard taskmaster, but a reasonable one. Come now, and let us
reason together, saith the Lord (Isaiah 1:18).
In the camp of God's obedient children, victory cries will be heard again and again because walls
must come tumbling down, many walls in many nations. We must help people everywhere. Those
in darkness need to be delivered, and they won't be delivered unless we obey God, unless we use
the faith of God, unless we use the power that was used in Bible days.
We don't want the walls of the nations to fall to the destruction of the people, but to the saving of
their souls. We want to bring them out into the arms of Jesus, telling them, "Jesus loves you, Jesus
cares for you! Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Come on out! There's a
Calvary for you, a fountain opened for you to be washed in the blood of the Lamb and made so pure
that the Lord will take you to heaven one day where you'll live with angelic beings and God the
Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost." This is that.
You have nothing to be sad about, nothing to be depressed over and everything to look up for. It's
simple when you let God work through you, when you learn beyond doubt that that is this and this
is that. Since this is that and that is this, you have the evidence that the power of God works,
performs, tears down the strongholds of the devil and sets the captives free.
We look in on Israel again. There's a prophet in the land—Elijah. What power moves through him
as he speaks for God! God's people will speak for Him in this final hour. It won't be fanaticism, but
power from on High speaking the faith of God, the love, the greatness of God and putting it all into
action.
Elijah stood before King Ahab saying, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I
stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word (I Kings
17:1). The word of the Lord was in his mouth; Elijah spoke only the word of the Lord. In this last
hour the Bride will be saying: "Thus saith the Lord! Thus saith the Lord!" Her own opinions cast
aside, the Bride will be filled with the words of the Lord. All the strength and power of heaven will
be in "Thus saith the Lord." Elijah said, "Thus saith the Lord" and it took place. No rain fell for
over three years. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed
earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three
4 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
years and six months (James 5:17).
Thus saith the Lord, My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). This is that and that is this. All you need do is use God's faith.
Elijah, go over by the brook. God is going to send the ravens to feed you during this drought. And
it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to
feed thee there. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and
bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook (I Kings 17:4,6). If you are
depending on the ravens to bring your food, you'd better use the faith of God. Some of us in
Elijah's position would be in a state of anxiety wondering if the birds would return the next day.
We wouldn't enjoy the food because of worrying about tomorrow.
In this final hour, the Bride will not live in fear, but in the love and faith of God. That which Elijah
had, the Bride has. This is that and that is this. It's going to work. The Lord will bless and make
the way for the Bride. She will be guarded by armies of angels from heaven, sustained when
adverse circumstances arise. Working for Jesus, she knows the Lord is coming. Happily she works
as the Lord supplies all she needs to get the task done.
Much is available to you from God's great storehouse in this last hour. The faith Elijah had is the
same faith offered you today. It will work. The Lord will supply all the needs of the Bride no
matter how He has to do it.
When the devil rages against you, is God sufficient? He is if you will let Him be, if you'll believe
Him to be. You must accept Him to be sufficient for you. He is ready to give you the strength and
greatness of Him so you can do His wonderful work in this your final hour.
One day the brook that had supplied water to Elijah dried up. Real faith, however, told Elijah that
everything would be all right. He did what the Bride will do: waited in the faith of God for
instructions. God told Elijah, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and
dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee (verse 9).
The widow had nothing. In fact, she was busy gathering sticks to cook the last bit of food left in her
house. God doesn't ask idle people to do much of anything. Elijah approached her. Bring me, I
pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I
have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and,
behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that
we may eat it, and die. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said:
but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee
and for thy son. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, the barrel of meal shall not
5 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon
the earth (I Kings 17:11-14). Oh, widow woman, the Lord will do it! In faith she obeyed the words
of Elijah.
The Bride in perfect obedience will give the last she has into the hands of the Master. The widow
woman gave the last she had, but it was only the beginning of what God had for her. Remember,
when you give the last you have, you've come to the beginning of what God has for you. Where
your giving ends, His giving begins. When the widow woman gave all, the Lord gave her all she
needed. Those who don't believe won't get their meal barrel filled.
Oh, the wonderful things God used Elijah for! Would you have believed the miracle of supply
could happen to you? The Bride in this final hour will have so much of the grace, love and faith of
God—surrounded by the angels of God and backed up by all heaven—that she certainly will
believe. The song of her heart will be "My God will supply!" That which Elijah had is this we have
today. That which Abraham had when He said, God will provide, is this we have today (Genesis
22:8). The same power used for Elijah is our help today, our power now. My God shall supply
all your need according to his riches in glory. My God will do it!
Unexpectedly, the son of the widow with whom Elijah was staying died. She wondered what
judgment had come upon her, what judgment the man of God had brought to her. Elijah carried
her son into a loft, laid him on his own bed. O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul
come into him again. And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child
came into him again, and he revived (I Kings 17:21,22). Looking upon this great miracle, the
woman recognized Elijah to truly be a man of God. And the woman said to Elijah, Now by
this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is
truth (I Kings 17:24).
Even though the widow woman had seen the miracle of the continuously filled meal barrel and
cruse of oil during the famine, it took the great miracle upon her son to totally convince her that
Elijah was a man of God. She was close to God; material things did not matter as much to her as
receiving that which was needed for her son. It had happened.
The world will know the true God and His people—the Bride of Christ—by the great manifestations
of Lord God Almighty performed through the Bride in this her last hour. It will be mighty
manifestations because that is this and this is that.
Thank God, today He is walking with the Bride in this her last hour. We're moving on in closer to
the Lord. Those who are lukewarm will be spewed into the Tribulation Period. Pray that God save
them if He can, bring them into the fold. The decision to serve or not to serve God wholeheartedly
is theirs. They know the right way but do they want it? We cannot let unbelief in others slow us
down. We must go after the heathen, those who have never had an opportunity to know Christ,
using all the faith, strength and love of God to see that they hear the Gospel.

Some in our nation are like heathen, they have never heard, never been taught about Jesus. They
don't know He is real, the very Son of God born of the virgin Mary. Many preachers don't know or
teach the virgin birth. They are worse than heathen, more destructive. God frowns upon them
more than on the heathen.
After more than three-and-a-half years of drought, the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the
third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth (I
Kings 18:1). Ahab went to meet Elijah. "You and your father's house have brought this disaster on
Israel," Elijah told him. "Bring your prophets of Baal. Let them call on their God, and I will call
on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God (verse
24)." All day long the prophets of Baal pleaded with their god to come down. Elijah mocked them.
They leaped and cut themselves until the blood gushed out.
Finally in the evening, Elijah directed four barrels of water to be poured over the altar he had
repaired—three times the water was poured. He prayed a prayer of sixty-three words and the fire
of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and
the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench (verse 38).
In the past, God's people have drawn up into a corner in the face of persecution. No more. Afraid
of nothing, today they know the fire of God will fall whenever needed. Read of Elijah in First and
Second Kings. The power of God that worked through him is the same power that works today.
Elijah went through many experiences, valleys as well as high places. The deepest valley we know
of was in the wilderness when he prayed to die. He thought no one but himself was serving God.
It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. And
as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said
unto him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the
coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down
again. And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and
said Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat
and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto
Horeb the mount of God (I Kings 19:4-8).
The Lord gave Elijah strength to journey to the Mount of God. That's all we need; strength to reach
the mount of God. When you're in the valley, remember that the angel of the Lord is there to
minister to you.
Elijah traveled one hundred fifty miles to the Mount of God. And he came thither unto a cave,
and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said unto
7 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
him, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord
God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down
thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and
they seek my life, to take it away (I Kings 19:9,10). Elijah had put his life on the line before
evil Ahab and Jezebel, slain the prophets of Baal, and now he thought he was the only one left who
served God. But the Lord said, Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees
which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him (verse
18). Many women and children would have been added to those seven thousand men. It was
enough to encourage Elijah.
God then instructed Elijah to anoint a king over Syria and a king over Israel and to anoint Elisha to
be prophet in his stead. It wasn't to be long before Elijah would reach rapture ground. Elisha knew
it. He was determined to follow Elijah until the end. Elijah took his mantle, wrapped it together
and smote the waters of the Jordan so they divided; he and Elisha walked across on dry ground.
Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. He knew when Elijah was gone there would be
more devils than ever to fight against. You've asked a hard thing, Elijah told him, nevertheless, if
thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so (II Kings 2:10). As they talked on the
other side of Jordan, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and
parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven (II Kings
2:11).
Elisha was the only one who really believed Elijah would be taken alive into heaven, and today
many don't believe the Bride will be raptured. Elisha saw Elijah go into heaven, and Elijah's
mantle fell on him. Miracle power changed Elijah, took him to heaven alive. Miracle power
brought down that heavenly chariot, miracle glory enabled him to step on board. But he didn't
forget the mantle while he ascended; he dropped it for Elisha.
Elisha took the mantle of Elijah, rushed back to Jordan, smote the waters and cried, Where is the
Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and
thither: and Elisha went over (II Kings 2:14). In this final hour, the Bride has the mantle of
power. Again and again, she will strike the waters and see them separate as she cries, "The Lord
God of Elijah lives today! Jesus is alive, Jesus is alive!" Jesus promised to pray the Father to send
another Comforter, the Holy Ghost. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. It is expedient for you that I
go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I
will send him unto you (John 14:16; 16:7). Jesus didn't forget the mantle for His followers; they
found it in the Upper Room.
8 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
Receiving the Holy Ghost is so important that Jesus told us it was expedient for Him to leave so the
Holy Ghost could come. Why would anyone think people don't need the Holy Ghost? Jesus told
the disciples to tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on
high (Luke 24:49). The power from on High with which they were endued was the baptism in the
Holy Ghost.
It will take that power from on High that they received in the Upper Room—that same power—to
change us in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye and to catch us up with Jesus in the clouds.
One day Mary Magdalene carried the message that Jesus was alive, and His followers have been
carrying it ever since. Many soldiers of the cross, many servants of the Lord will give the cry: "He is
alive! He is alive! He just opened the eyes of this blind man! He just healed the crippled man!
This is that and that is this. We have it! Thanks be to God."
The prophets of old were mistreated, cast down. Some spent much time in prison, but they
demonstrated great strength. Why? They had power from on High. Daniel in the den of lions was
sustained by that power. One would think his situation would have filled him with terror, but he
was dining with the Lord. The king who put him in that terrible place was the one who couldn't
sleep.
Like Daniel, the Bride will take her rest in time of trouble, receiving strength for the new day
dawning. She will go forth rested in the Spirit. The angels of the Lord will look after her just like
the angel looked after Daniel in the lions' den.
Daniel told the king, My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that
they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me (Daniel
6:22). Those who fail to use the faith of God don't see the protecting angel; they only see the
roaring lions enhanced by their imaginations. It's frightening when your imagination runs away
with you.
Were you ever terrified over nothing? I remember some years ago a situation like that. My
mother-in-law, my wife and I were coming home late one night from visiting my father-in-law in
the hospital. Corn was planted in the garden close to the house. Pop hadn't spared much room. I
was standing with my key ready to open the back door, when I heard a noise in the corn. Suddenly
a little woman emerged and burst out, "Mrs. Sikes, how is Mr. Sikes doing?" It frightened the
living daylights out of me. I froze. Every particle of me was scared, every freckle afraid. I hadn't
expected such a thing.
Fear is a terrible thing. I didn't have time to use any of the faith of God in that instant, but in this
9 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
hour we must be alert, our eyes open so we won't be petrified with fear no matter what comes our
way, real or imagined.
We are to fear God in an awesome, reverent way, and to fear Him only. That fear will be the
strength of the Lord for us. Walking in the steps of Jesus, our imaginations will not run away with
us when we face our den of lions, or stand in the fiery furnace.
The three Hebrew boys were thrown into the fiery furnace heated seven times hotter than ever
before. The flame was so intense it killed the men who threw them in. But when the king looked
into the furnace he was astonished. Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the
fire? Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt;
and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God (Daniel 3:24,25). In that terrible furnace,
the Hebrew boys found the greatness of the Lord.
In the past many Christians have swooned when they heard the furnace was going to get hotter,
deciding to turn back. They didn't know it would be like that. The milk and honey in the Promised
Land drew them, but when things got rough, they went back to the onions and garlic of Egypt. Not
the Bride. In this final hour she will dine with the Lord. Without compromise while the furnace is
being heated, the Bride will stand firm with Him. The strength that sustained Daniel, the Bride has
today. It's not another power, but the same power and it will work the same way—not another
faith, it's the same faith that works the same way.
The Bride in her most trying hours will find more greatness of God than she has ever had before.
The greatness of God will go before her, waiting for her. Closer than ever, the arms of His
greatness will draw her to His bosom. Winning the lost at any cost, the Bride will sing and shout
the praises of God. This is that and that is this.
Jesus said, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:12). The Bride will do
these greater works, for she will be able to reach greater numbers of people. All the rainbow
promises of God will be her supply, her delight, her sunlight, her peace, joy and strength in this her
last hour.
There are those who have eaten the Lord's "tater." The tenth tater belongs to God: ten percent of
your income. Tithing is a commandment of God. Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed
me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed
10 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
with a curse: for ye have robbed me…Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of
hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that
there shall not be room enough to receive it (Malachi 3:8-10). The Lord said if we would
give Him our tithes and offerings He would open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing.
Some of you have good intentions, asking the Lord to make the way for you, promising to give Him
His part. The Lord makes the way for you, but you forget your promise. You look at your ten
taters, think you need them all, and you eat the Lord's tater. Now you have a doctor bill and not
enough money to pay it. You ate the Lord's tater, and it made you sick. "Oh God," you cry, "Heal
me!" But the Lord said you ate His tater. "Oh God, have mercy! What's wrong with me?"
You know what's wrong; the Bible tells you. God has spoken through it and you're not listening;
you've robbed God of His tithes and offerings. You don't want to hear what's wrong. You would
rather go to the hospital and let them tell you something else is the problem. When it comes down
to the truth, you ate the Lord's tater.
The Lord didn't say you had to be generous, but if you had loved Him enough you would have
been. You took all the taters.
When you get sick, check to see if the Lord has His tater. Did you give Him what belonged to Him?
The Lord only wants one tater out of ten, and then He leaves it up to you how much more you want
to give Him through love.
This is that and that is this. The promise of the open window blessing from heaven is for us today.
That which they were promised in Malachi is for us; this is that. As we tithe and give unto the Lord
in love, He will do wonderful things for us. It works. In this hour, God is going to open up many
windows of heaven upon the Bride, pour out miracles and healings in abundance. Miraculous
things will take place around her; it will be glorious. Surrounded by the beautiful works of the man
of Galilee, the Bride will experience the works of Jesus upon her.
Manifesting Himself in many ways, God will let the world know who He really is. He will reveal
Himself in love, and He will reveal Himself in judgments like He did in Bible days. There will be
much judgment in this final hour, saith the Lord, much judgment; but the grace of God will also
abound.
In the New Testament we read that God took the sight from a man who had insulted the Spirit of
God. He was led away blind because he mocked God, spit in His eye. Paul told him, Behold, the
hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a
season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about
seeking some to lead him by the hand (Acts 13:11).

Herod set himself up above God, and immediately the angel of the Lord smote him,
because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost
(Acts 12:23). These two judgments were not under the Law, but under the dispensation of grace.
Before Herod could be buried, the worms ate him. Imagine the thousands of worms that took over
that body! Soon it was devoured before the eyes of the people. I say again, there will be much
judgment in this hour, judgment through the elements, nature, judgment for individuals in all
kinds of ways. That is this and this is that.
God meant business in that day, and He means business today. More judgment than ever before
will fall now because there is a Calvary that again and again is being rejected. Remember Calvary.
God gave everything to make that Calvary for man. Be careful how you respond to God.
Many will blaspheme the Holy Ghost in this final hour. God told me, in the divine visitation in
1954, that they would. He said that even Pentecostal ministers would blaspheme the Holy Ghost.
In that day, such a thing was unheard of; but you see the way many ministers have gone today,
denying so much of the Word of God. God said He would reveal His miracles, and they would deny
them, blaspheming the Holy Ghost.
The Spirit of the Lord will lift from multitudes in this last hour, saith the Lord, will lift from them to
never strive with them again. Preachers who have spoken against God's power, preached against
the teachings in the Word of God, left part of it out, won't get by in this last hour. The Spirit of God
will lift from them. Don't think God won't do it! He will. When His Spirit lifts from these
ministers, they'll be cold to the Spirit. Some have no interest in Him today at all, no desire to serve
God or to please Him. This is that and that is this.
We will see all manner of manifestations in this last hour. We will see the greatness of the Almighty
as God walks the Earth in love and in all-out judgment. In the divine visitation in 1954, I heard the
feet of the Lord coming down upon planet Earth so powerfully that Earth seemed as though it were
made out of paper. I shall never forget it. When God steps down on planet Earth in all-out
judgment, it will be like stepping down on paper, everything under His feet destroyed, destruction
the world has never before witnessed.
God let people go to their own doom under the Law, and even under grace. When God gets
enough, it's over. God is close to having His fill of disobedient, sinful humanity, of people denying
His Word in part or wholly, calling it doctrines of devils, criticizing the miracle-working, healing
power of God and the greatness of the power of the Holy Spirit. God has taken just about all He
can stand. We're coming so close to the final judgment that we're going to see many signs of
warning, saith the Lord. Judgment has already started, and there will be more and more of it.

The world will not last. The environment that concerns many will one day all be destroyed: The
Bible foretells it. Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and
turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. The earth also
is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws,
changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse
devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the
inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. The earth shall reel to and fro
like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof
shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again (Isaiah 24:1,5,6,20).
Imagine the fear in men's hearts when the sun refuses to shine and the moon turns into blood,
when the stars fall to the Earth! Those without the cause of Jesus will live in fear in this last hour.
Many are afraid to eat certain foods because they might get cancer, heart trouble, paralysis or some
other affliction from them. People in great distress wonder what they will do, what the world is
coming to. Full of fear, they don't know which way to turn. Working for many causes, few have the
cause of Calvary. They are right to be afraid. Without Christ one should be full of fear. Fear of
going out at night, fear of being robbed, fear of being alone, fear of different things puts people into
bondage. Pray before you eat; sanctify your food; pray before you leave your house, before you use
your car.
You needn't let God's judgments shake you, Child of God; be rooted and grounded in the truth, the
great love and faith of God. Take all the Word of God. Put on all His armor. Carry the peace of
God in your mind. Let Jesus be your peace. In order for Him to be your peace, you must let Him
be your all in all. When you find yourself being troubled in mind, stop and remember: "Jesus is my
peace. I have Jesus. Jesus, you're in my soul, and my mind doesn't have to continue in this state of
confusion and depression. You'll give me peace." The Holy Spirit can bridge that gulf between the
soul and mind, giving you a flow of the Spirit over the mind, totally amazing you with the greatness
of God. And as you go in that peace, in that serenity of the Holy Spirit and greatness of God, you
will understand the Early Church, the people on whom the Holy Ghost first fell at Pentecost.
It's time for us to shout the praises of God, time to lift up holy banners, time to let the world know
that we're Jesus-people; we're on the Lord's side. We believe the whole Word of God; we believe in
signs, wonders, miracles and healings; and we believe in the baptism in the Holy Ghost with the
initial evidence of speaking in other tongues just as the Holy Ghost spoke through those in the
Upper Room on the day of Pentecost. It's time for us to stand for it all, honor all that God has said.
We will not honor God unless we honor all of His Word. We will sanctify the Lord God night and
day in our hearts, glorify His holy name. Blessed be the name of the Lord! We're mounting higher
13 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
and higher on the winds of the Holy Spirit, carried higher and higher into the arms of the Lord in
this last hour. Oh, Bride of Christ, take heart! Your heartbeat will be the same as the heartbeat of
God in holy unity with His. No power will be able to defeat you as you trample devils underfoot
just as the Master said. That is this and this is that! It thrills me through and through.
Calvary, Pentecost, the Upper Room, the power of God, the coming of the Lord, the greatness of the
Lord, the fruit and gifts of the Spirit, the righteousness, holiness, purity of God—you can have it all.
You have the message for the whole world because you have the Word. Without the whole Word
you don't have the whole message. Only part of the Word will not give people what they need from
heaven for this last hour; it will take the whole Word in action to evangelize the world, the whole
Word of God embraced by the Bride of Christ to make this old world reel and rock. All the
promises of God must be used by the Bride in this last hour to do what needs to be done. Do it she
will because God declares it; it's the will of God. No power can stop her because this is that and
that defeated death, hell and the grave. This will do the same thing. Bless the Lord, oh my soul,
and all that is within me, bless His holy name. I will declare His holiness and righteousness, His
love for all mankind. I will declare that He is Lord God Almighty, the great I-Am.
Crying to the world that I-Am has sent us, we will use the great power of I-Am in this final hour just
as Moses and others used it. It's time for deliverance, the greatest deliverance the world has ever
seen, greater deliverance than when the Israelites were brought out of Egyptian bondage. This is
the great hour of deliverance, saith the Lord. The Lord is moving through the Bride to set the
captives free, to heal the brokenhearted and to see that people hear the Gospel. The acceptable
year of the Lord, the year of Jubilee, the year of redemption must be preached to the world in this
last hour.
All will not receive, but God will give them a chance. The nail-riven hands will reach out, and the
world will have the opportunity to accept or reject them just as you had. One day those nail-riven
hands came before you, offering you grace, deliverance, heaven, the blessed hope for the soon
coming of the Lord. Those nail-riven hands offered you all the strength you would need for the
journey, promised you everything worthwhile for eternal life.
Aren't you glad you said yes to Jesus, that you bent low to kiss those hands with all the love that
flowed from heaven into your heart? You accepted salvation, loving Jesus better than anything in
the whole world. You had the message; you wanted everyone to know Jesus, to tell the story over
and over. The story never grows old. The more it's told, the newer it seems, the stronger it
becomes. The more it's told, the more joy flows through it and from it, the more peace flows our
way. We tell the story over and over, more excited each time. We will convince people in this last
hour with the greatness and power of God. This is that and that is this.

Sinner, are you ready for the Savior? I bring Him to you, the living Jesus, the Redeemer, Savior of
mankind. You may feel weak and helpless. Perhaps you have tried to live for God in the past and it
didn't work; God will give you the power, the strength to live for Him. He will deliver you, make
you a new creature as He moves into your heart. That's what He has done for many.
Oh, sinner, come home! Say this prayer with me: "Oh God, save my soul! I believe in the blood of
Jesus, and I believe the blood of Jesus has power to wash away all of my sins. Come on in, Jesus!
Come into my heart!"
If you meant that prayer, He is yours. He will live His life through you now as you continue to
yield to His Spirit. He delights in living His life through human beings.
You who are sick and afflicted, that is this and this is that. This that we have is that power that
operated through Jesus when He was here in the form of a man. Since that is this and this is that,
you can have your miracle. I received mine many years ago, and it's still good today. You can have
your miracle, too. God is no respecter of persons.
"Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you in obedience to you. You have healed multitudes, the
blind, the crippled, the paralyzed, the cancer victims. You heal all manner of sicknesses and
diseases. Your healing comes from your mighty gift of miracles, your gifts of healing through the
power of the Holy Ghost; it flows in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Heal! Heal, in the name of
Jesus! Heal all the sick and afflicted, all the helpless ones. Lord, get them well this day and we'll
give you the honor, the praise and the glory. You are wonderful, Lord, in all of your ways, and your
ways are past finding out. We delight in your power from on High being used among people today,
and your great works being performed just like you said they would be."
Honor and praise Him. Thank Him for your miracle, your healing, and watch as the Lord gets you
well for His name's sake. He is wonderful!
Yea, saith the Spirit of the Lord: I am moving with my Word, and I am shouting my promises that
all who want to hear can hear in this last hour. My angels are declaring my glory and singing my
praise—not only in heaven but on Earth. And my angels are going forth daily now, night and day,
to do great battle with and for my people. Open your eyes and ears to my greatness. Let my Word
live in your spirit night and day. Let my Word be in all of its power as when I first spoke it.
Diseases will be destroyed. Sin will be destroyed. Unrighteousness will be destroyed. Weakness
will be destroyed, and my great strength will flow like mighty rivers in this last hour.
Behold! The hand of the Lord is upon you. Behold! The power of heaven is yours. And behold
that all power is given unto you over all the works of the devil and the power of Lucifer. Do not be
15 of 16 12/19/2010 3:48 PM
afraid, but be strong in the might of my faith and in my love. Walk in my faith and love every
moment that you have left, and my greatness will always be yours. My heart will be yours, and the
greatness of my strength will work with you and through you. I will cover you with wings of
greatness, and I will use you. And you will have my oil. And you will go forth when that hour
comes. There will be no scarcity of my oil. And as you trim your lamps, the glow and the power of
heaven you will see. Lift up your heads, oh my people, and know that redemption draweth nigh.
Lift up your heads and let me give you vision to see the whole world and the harvest. See it all.
Take it all in with one look as I do. I give you my eyes to see the harvest fields and they're so ripe
for harvest! Don't let the harvest, don't let any of it go to waste. Fast, pray, seek my face and feed
your spirit the Word, the Word, saith the Lord; and my promises will be fulfilled, and the
greatness of my plans for you will be fulfilled.
You don't have to worry about being a failure; just walk with me and the victories will be yours.
Walk with me. My Son made paths for your feet, and through my Spirit you will find His
footprints the rest of your journey, saith the Lord.
