To my publisher

I am grateful that you are considering the publishing of my book. It isn’t money to me as it is for many of my brothers and sisters who will hear or read just who the true bride is. I believe it will be sold just because of the name. Many in the churches believe that John 3:16 makes them the bride. That is just a guest ticket to be at the wedding but not as a bride. Oh, they will go to heaven because of John 3:16, but not in the bride company. I thank you.

The Bride of Christ Revealed

In the book of Hebrews, Moses was onished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle. He wanted the tabernacle to be built as he said (he is Jesus). There was the tabernacle that was uncovered; it was called the outer court.

The Outer Court

This was the place where they sacrificed the lambs and goats for the sins of Israel’s people. At the same time, Jesus was being crucified for the sins of the world. This is a type of what we do for salvation. We expect Jesus. He was crucified for us. He died that we might have eternal life. When a person gets saved by accepting his salvation, he offers. He is now a baby believer. The Bible says he is a carnal Christian, and he walks just about like he did before he got saved. Paul said in Hebrews 5:11–14, he said they were babies and still wanted milk of the Word. He said he that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness in my book, the first chapter of the book, deals with only the baby believer. Paul indicated that they did not know good from evil or right from wrong.

The Only Place

This and the candle stick with seven pods that held the oil for the candle that gives light to the Word of God. In this, in the book, the baby, by being baptized in the Holy Ghost, is when he is no longer a baby. He is now a son of God. Of about thirteen years old. And it is the sons that marry the Lord in Isaiah 62:5, for as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee not babies’ sons.

The Holy of Holies

Shows the ark of the covenant and what was in it. The commandments restored, showing how he has to obey the commandments of God to be a part of the bride church. In Revelation chapter 2 and 3, the seven churches. Only the church of Philadelphia was to be the bride of Christ. The name means love. And she had little strength, and she did not deny his name (the Word of God). She kept the Word. He writes upon her his new name. Jerusalem. In Revelation 19:7, the marriage of the lamb is come, and his wife had made herself ready. And in chapter 21:2, John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Baby believers must not stay in the outer court. To be the bride is a progressive walk to become the bride.

God is calling out a people, out of the Gentiles for his name (Acts 15:24), and his name is the Word of God (John 1:1 and Revelation 19:13). All right, if you are serious with God, then you will be pushing and running the race for the high calling of God. Paul called it the great prize.

Justification

I have made a study of this Word and what had happened to me. I saw all that believed are justified (Acts 13:39). I said that’s me. I saw justified freely by grace (Romans 3:24). I said that’s me. I saw his name justified me, the father (1 Corinthians 6:11). I said that’s me. I saw that no one is justified by the law of any kind of merits (Galatians 2:16). I said that’s me. I saw being justified by faith. We have peace with God. I said that’s me.

Have you ever been in a doctor’s office and picked up a magazine, and it said,

“Count the birds in the picture”? Showing at first, I saw none, but it said there were fifteen in that picture. I looked and looked and I would see one of them then another. I did see all the birds. Then I would look away from them and look back, and all fifteen jumped out at me. The same thing would happen with justified or any other word. I said this, brother or sister, to reveal how important it is to read and study the Word of God. Because faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. I would read the Word out loud so I could hear it teaching me. In Matthew 22:10, it seemed that when the king was to have his wedding, he bid many to come, but everyone was too busy to come. The king said, “Go into the highways and bid. Bid people to come, both bad and the good,” and the wedding was furnished with guests. I believe that there will be many that will only be guests.

(Marantha) The Lord Is Coming

We are called to be the bride of Christ, and she will make herself ready. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 11:2 we are espoused to be the bride a chaste virgin. Chaste means holy and righteous, mature and sanctified, set apart to Christ and no other. The dictionary says chaste is “holiness and righteousness.”

The Characteristics of a Baby Believer

They only know Jesus as a savior. Their spirit is born, but they are carnal in actions. They have been justified but know little about sanctification.

They can only handle being milk fed. They know Jesus as the way but know little about the truth and less yet about life. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way… I am the truth… I am the life. No man comes to the father but by me.” They are usually spoon-fed each Sunday. They seldom listen to the mother, the church, or God the father. Jesus is trying to bring us back to the Father. He wants fellowship with us, like it was with the first Adam before he disobeyed and fell. The works of the flesh is usually active in the baby, will show envy, strife, and jealousy. I use the mother as the church because she is the one who is supposed to feed the church Jesus bought with his blood. In Acts 20:28, she is to feed the sheep and the lambs. The pastor is to be anointed to feed, not kill the sheep. Jesus told Peter in John 21:15–16, “Simon Peter, son of Jonas, lovest thou me.” “You know I do Lord.” (Feed my lambs.) He said the second time, “Peter, lovest thou me.” Peter said, “Jesus Lord, you know I love you.” (Feed my sheep.) He never once ever told the pastor to condemn the sheep or the lambs. If they do not feed the believer, it is because there is no light in them. Most babies will follow anyone. Ephesians says we should not be no more children tossed to and fro, carried about with every wind of doctrine by the cunning craftiness whereby men wait to deceive.

Example of the Baby Believers The Baby Believers

In the natural, it is the body or our person we become conscious of first.

The baby recognizes that he or she has hands and a nose and feet and eyes. He is thrilled that he is alive. Likewise in the church, the newborn baby is conscious of the fact that he is saved, and rightly so, but like a newborn baby in the natural, he had nothing to do with this being born. It is the same for the newborn baby believer in Christ. We look into the Word of God, we see there in Romans 8:29–30, it says, for whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called, and whom he called, them he also justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Foreknow in the dictionary means to “know beforehand.” Predestinate, the dictionary says, “to foreordain by divine decree.” My son that was born to me and my wife, along with the other four, had nothing to do with being born into my family. The sad part is that many of these new born-again believers are instructed that is the only thing there is. Get saved and go to heaven someday. The greatest majority of professing believers belong to this type of church. This part of the believer in Christ is not doing much to shake the world for God. The food that is fed is usually milk. John 3:16 says, “God so loved the world that he gave his son and whosoever will believe in him, should not perish, but will have everlasting life.” John 3:36 says, “He that believeth on the Son has everlasting life.” John 5:24 says, “Verily I say unto you, He that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life/ and shall not come into condemnation but is ed from death to life.”

But that is not all there is to it. It is as far as salvation is concerned, but God had sent back his Holy Ghost to get a bride for his son. All the scriptures are invitation scriptures to a wedding. The question now is, are you going as a guest or the bride? One step that needs to be taken is found in John 1:15. When Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray to the father, and he shall give unto you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever.” In Luke 11:11–13, if a son asks for bread, would you give him a stone? If he asks for a fish, would you give him a serpent? Or if he asks an egg of you, would not provide? Then he says, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him. When you read these ages, Christ the Lord said, not some religious pastor of today. Christ said if you ask for the Holy Spirit, your Heavenly Father will give you the Holy Spirit. But look here before you ask your Father. He is not Your Father until you are saved. If your light is out when he comes, woe to that pastor who said he is not for today because the Holy Ghost is him.

The Outer Court

In This Outer Court, Believers Deliver No One

The baby believer in the outer court, or the experience of only salvation, doesn’t think of others. Their knowledge of the word is very little. And they do not read the Word to gain knowledge. They are dull of hearing the Word according to Paul. In Hebrews 5:10–14, Paul says in verses 13–14 that these baby believers can use and want only milk. But he said that strong meat belongs to those of full age, who have their senses exercised to discern what is good and what is not (called maturity). Perfect. The destiny of every believer is to come to maturity, not to remain babies any

longer. Find a good Bible-teaching church and get into it. Why would you let some denomination who doesn’t believe the Word make you miss the brideship and the joys of life now. I want to close this chapter of the outer court, the experience of the baby believer of salvation, with some examples I have seen and still see. He gave my wife and I our spiritual engagements rings of the baptism in the Holy Ghost that has made it possible to live the life for him. He truly is a comforter and a revealer of truth. We commit all the time that the Lord will be back soon, maybe today. It is in the Holy Ghost we find light because he reveals it to us in his Word. He said, “My word will be a light for your path.” Psalm 119:105, when he tells us the word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Get out of the outer court. You had to begin there, but God never intended for you to stay there.

The Foolish Virgins Are Found Here

In Matthew 25:1–10, we see here five foolish virgins. Now the five foolish virgins are those who remain in the outer court, or just the one experience with God. They get saved, and there is light there, but they must go on into the holy place and receive there what God has, light the Holy Spirit. When a person receives his call to come to Jesus and he accepts the call and is saved, he is happy and joyful. He feels different than he felt before. But a few months down the road, and maybe not months but weeks, his light goes out. He is back into the old things he gave up and repented of. He is back in the flesh again, doing the things he once did a lot of the time. Believers think there isn’t anything else. A baby with little or no word other than what he heard maybe from a tract he

picked up in a restroom somewhere. He heard the call from something or someone to come to Jesus. But unless he goes on and finds a good fellowship that teaches the Word, his light will go out. The baby believer needs the comfort of the Holy Ghost, which is the oil in the vessel, and we are the vessel that holds this oil. The sadness and the goodness of this verse in Matthew 25:1–10 is both of these virgins were asleep, but when the cry was made to trim the wicks, you can trim your wicks as much as you want, but if there is no oil there, there will be no light. And it will be too late when Jesus comes. Many pastors are saying this anointing oil, the baptism in the Holy Ghost, is not for us today. They are the blind leading the blind that do not know the word and what it says. To hear and believe anything other than the Bible is the second word. Every church that was established in the book of Acts received this gift of the Holy Ghost. And Acts 2:38–39 says it is for everyone that he calls. (Did he call you?) Then this Holy Ghost is for you, not the Word. The Bible says the world cannot receive this gift of the Holy Ghost. In John 14:17 and the book of Acts, thousands received the gift of the Holy Ghost. You will see this in the next part, the holy place. These are big spots on the wedding gown, and we are not to have blemishes of envy, strife, division, jealousy embedded in our robe, and we are not to have any wrinkles in the robe. The Lord told me this was loose living. (No dedication.) Not submitted to his name, which is his word. This is the name the bride to be will have to take before marriage will happen. In Galatians 4:19–20, Paul stood in doubt. He said, “My little children of whom I travail in birth pains until Christ be formed in you.” Paul in the book of Philippians, the third chapter, was surely saved when he said, “Not that I have already apprehended I forget what is behind me, And I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Another place he said he was in a race, and he said, “I lay aside every weight of sin that so easily besets us” (Hebrews 12:1). In Corinthians 9:24, he says, “Know ye not that they which run in a race (run all) but one receiveth the prize, so run that you might obtain.” The Bible says the

race is not to the swift but to the patient. The swift begins fast, but they soon grow tired and stop running, but the patient run the race to the end. We will see in this book that like in any wedding, there is the bridegroom and the bride, and the bridesmaids and the guest. You decide what you will be in the chapters to follow.

The Natural Is Found Here

In the outer court, there is no covering. No, all there is natural light. There is not much of any real spiritual light in this outer court experience. The Bible says “My word is light,” so a baby that does not bother to read the Bible or go to the house of God to be taught the Word has little light. This is why I say that a baby believer if he does not go on and walk in the word has little or chance of being the bride of Christ. Before I got married, I saw the person on a float. She was a queen for a day. I was just visiting this town. My friend stood next to me, and I turned to him and said, “I am going to marry that girl.” He said, “You are crazy.” I said, “You wait and see.” I was only visiting this little town. Little did I know that she lived next door to the people where I was staying. A few nights ed, or maybe it was only one night, when I was walking home from this little movie house, it was raining very hard. This car pulled up beside me, and a voice said, “Can I give you a ride?” I said yes. Guess what, it was the girl on the float. To make this long story short, we were married April 14, 1956. We were at the age of nineteen, and we have been married now for sixty years. This is the way it happened to me with Christ. He called me when I was fifteen years old. I have been espoused to my Lord for years now. My wife ed on to be with Jesus. She was seventy-nine. I am eighty-four. She is waiting for me, and

I am running to her on what a day that will be on glory.

You Will Find Workers Here

In this outer court, which represents the experience of the believer at salvation, this salvation is given unto us freely, but many in the body of Christ will not expect his grace and mercy as final, and they still try to work for their salvation. To be saved by your works, you would have to go through the rest of your life without one sin. (Impossible.) This is because of bad teaching. The Word of God does not teach this. They had this trouble in Galatians 2:4, when false brethren came in to spy out the liberty we have in Christ Jesus. This is not to say that after we are saved, we are not to grow up and begin to walk in what Jesus has already done for us. As we begin to walk in the word of holiness and righteousness, we do it because we love him, not for salvation. We already have this. We will see in the next chapters that a believer, when he walks in holiness, he begins to prosper and have good success. It would be hopeless to think you could save yourself. Just accept his mercy and his grace; that is why he died. (Don’t you know.)

We Only Know Jesus as Savior Here

In this outer court the believers first experience with Jesus. It is that of a savior. He doesn’t know him as Lord or father. The bride is not found here in the outer court experience. The robe of righteousness has to be put on over the free garment of salvation. We see this in

Isaiah 61:10. In Isaiah 62:5, he tells us there, “For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy Sons marry thee; And as the Bridegroom rejoiceth over the Bride, so shall thy God rejoice over three.” It is after we become sons of God. This is after the bar mitzvah that we become sons of God. The garment of salvation was given to us freely, but in Isaiah 61:10, the robe of righteousness must be out on over this garment to become the bride. Revelation 19:7–8 tells us the bride makes herself ready for her husbandto-be, Jesus. The Bible itself should tell us there is something more than just getting saved and going to heaven someday. Ephesians 5:25–27, Paul is speaking of the wife of the believer and how she should be to her husband. If he is loving her as Christ does the church. But it is also an allegory, that we who are called to be the bride of Christ should submit to him (his Word), because his bride is not to have these big spots of adultery, fornication, drunkenness. Keep the robes clean. Many will go through tribulation to wash them (Revelation 7:9–14). But for us to be only saved and remain in the outer court, we have a garment on which was given to us for free. This will get you into the wedding that is to come, but only as a guest. The bride will make herself ready. You can’t make yourself ready for salvation. This is free. In Matthew 22:10–11, read the chapter. Not all will be the bride. This will be seen later in the book. Acts 15:14 says Simon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles to take out of them a people for his name. His name is the Word of God. She is washed by his word (Ephesians 5:26). She is sanctified and cleansed by the Word of God. She is washed by the water of the Word. I have said many times already, don’t stay in the outer court, which is just a salvation experience. We are to go on, as we will see in the next chapters. Don’t remain as baby believers. A baby believer does not please God. A bride must please God.

God was only pleased with one of the churches in the first three chapters of Revelation. Hebrews 11:5, Enoch, a type of the bride, was translated that he should not see death and was not found, because God had translated him. Before he was translated, he had this testimony that he pleased God. (Noah got drunk, and his son looked upon his nakedness and was cursed. Noah went through the flood.) The next chapters I will show you the son that marries the Lord. Do not stay in the outer court experience. There are two more. There is nothing righteous about a baby believer. But the bride is espoused to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ (chaste means holy and righteous). The bride of Christ will be a glorious bride, who will be following the Holy Ghost, as it shows in the book of Genesis 24:61. This whole chapter reveals the bride. It is more than being just justified. It means holiness, taking his name only. We ask why. That he might present it (his church) to himself a glorious church, without a spot or a blemish or a wrinkle. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 11:2 that we are espoused to Christ as a chaste virgin. This means a holy, righteous church. Please, you must read all of Genesis. It will open your eyes, as it did mine, about the bride (Genesis 24–67). We are to be without spot or sins. Blemishes are like the little sins. Wrinkles mean loose living.

Those Who Have a Birthright Found Here

When God calls a person to come to him, no one can come unless God calls him or draws him. When this happens and the person accepts Jesus as their savior, then this person has a birthright. Every born-again believer is born with a birthright. Galatians 4:1 says a baby, as long as he remains a child, he is no different than a servant. The born-again believer is an heir. He is a t heir with Jesus. The Bible is the will that was left for us when Jesus went back to heaven. The church has this birthright and is an heir to the things left her in the will. (In the Word of God.) All right, usually when a great sum of wealth is left to a son, the baby usually doesn’t receive his inheritance until a certain age. It is usually when he comes to maturity so he can handle the wealth. Even after this, the will be contested. The devil will do this. He thinks it belongs to him. There are many, many blessings recorded in the Bible just waiting for the church to first grow up and next to receive them.

Babies Found Here

We just covered this. A baby is in the outer court believer, a baby not yet a son. The baby must not stay there in this outer court, or experience. This part of the tabernacle has no covering.

The Justified Believer Found Here

Justification means just as if we never sinned. Jesus had already justified us with his blood. Justification is not sanctification, which means commitment and separation from the world unto Jesus. Justification is for eternal life. This was given freely in the Jewish wedding. Everyone invited to the wedding was given first an invitation of John 3:16, and after this, he is given a garment of salvation. God is calling out a bride for his son (Matthew 22:8–13). You will see this those first bidden were not worthy. This was the Jews. They did not expect Jesus when he came. The Jews were the apple of his eye, and still is, but look at all they have gone through because they did not accept the son he sent. If we look at those scriptures of 1 Corinthians 3 in verse 15, it speaks of works after our common salvation experience, and I believe if we continue to not love the brothers of other denominations, not the denominations, but the believers there, then we are going to escape at the end just as by fire. Our spiritual clothes will smell of smoke. What a shame. The devil had done a job had he not. 1 Corinthians 3:14–15, man’s work is burned. He shall suffer loss, but he will be saved yet so by fire.

The Blade of the Corn Found Here Mark 4:26–28

We just saw in the milk believer there is not much fruit. For a season, that is all right. But the seed planted must produce its own kind. If we have the seed of Jesus in us, we should be producing him (his image). Why not. The seed is the Word of God, not just John 3:16. To marry Jesus, it will require

us taking his name. But most do not know his name. I asked God about this and asked him what his name was. I said, “Is it Yahweh?” He seemed to say no. I said, “Is it Jeshua?” He seems to say no. I became very nervous when I asked, “Is it Jesus?” He seems to say no. I said, “Lord, what is your name? I know my wife took my name to be my bride. I want to be your bride. What is your name?” He said, read John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, then I saw it. His name is the Word. I said, “Lord, show me another scripture. Out of the mouth of two will it be established.” He said read Revelation 19:13, 16. It said he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and on his thigh a name was written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Then I saw it. He was saying to be my bride, you must take all the Word of God. And by the way, I am Yahweh. I am Jeshua, and I am Jehovah and IAMTHAT I AM, and I am Jesus. I am the Word of God. I just took a side trip. Let’s get back to the blade of the corn. In Mark 4:26–28, Jesus said when the seed is cast forth, he is speaking of an allegory. First comes the blade. There is no fruit because it is in the baby stage, then after that the stalk, then the ear, and after that the full corn. Form the seed planted. I believe he is saying there we should bear fruit from the seed that is planted. It could mean souls, but I think it could mean both. I would like you to notice, the farmer did not cut the blade down because he could see no fruit. No, the Word says he rose night and day. He didn’t know how, but the earth brought forth first the blade then the ear and then the full corn from the earth. We are that field and that earth the seed is planted into. Some will bring thirtyfold, and some sixtyfold, and some hundredfold. I believe this is souls. Isn’t this what a marriage and a bride will do after marriage? Paul said, “I am jealous, I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” (Chaste means righteous virgin.)

Ongoing as we see in 2 Corinthians 1:10, where Paul says, “Who delivered us from so great a death…and doth deliver us. In whom we trust that he will yet deliver us.” This is another set of threes that shows it is progressive. Then we see in another set of threes, that of salvation. The first is found in Jude 3. He speaks of the common salvation is when the Holy Spirit causes a person’s spirit to come alive to the reality of God’s presence. This is Jude 3, the common salvation, and is only the beginning of our redemption. Then there is the Hebrews 2:3, which is the great salvation, which we are exhorted not to neglect. Lest we drift away. Then there is the eternal salvation of Hebrews 5:9 that Jesus is the author and finishes off. This is another set of threes.

Milk Believers Found Here

This is your stage of your walk with God. Everybody had to be a baby first, and every baby needs milk (1 Peter 2:2). Desire the sincere milk of the Word that you might grow thereby; in the natural, a newborn baby needs the milk of the mother to get started in growth. But that baby is not to remain a baby forever. The baby in the Lord is a baby that is unskillful in the word of righteousness. He does not know right from wrong (Hebrews 5:12–13) and usually in the baby we find strife and division! Corinthians 3:3, Paul says here to the baby believer, “I can’t speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal. I have fed you with milk and not strong meat, because you could not bear it.” For you are yet carnal, whereas there is among you envying and strife and division. Are you not carnal and walk as men (meaning the unsaved). But in the church, if we cannot love one another and drop the denominational barriers and learn to love one another, the church will remain a baby and never become the bride for which she was called. According to 1 John, the church is in darkness. In this baby stage, there is still the carnal man and carnal activity in his life.

Many never follow the shepherd, so they never get out of the baby stage of life (never mature). The bad thing that many have been told there isn’t anything else. Paul said these believers should be teachers, but you need someone to teach you over and over again and still have need of milk and not strong meat. It was never God’s plan to have churches full of thirty-, forty-, fifty-, sixty-, seventy-year-old babies in his church. Is it any wonder the body is so separated today. Every denomination has their set of laws, and most of the time they are the second word and not the first word (the Word of God). Deuteronomy says there are three feasts we must hold before Jesus comes back. One is the feast of tabernacles, love of the brethren. A baby seldom realizes that the father knows what they have need of before they ask him (Matthew 6:5–8). He said we ask not, and when we do ask, we ask and receive not because we ask amiss, that we mat consume it upon our lusts. It is all right to ask there are many scriptures that pertain to this. Examples in Matthew 7:7. What he is talking about here is not for money or fame but to receive the Holy Ghost, which is his will. In John 14:13–16 is surrounded by believing when you pray and obey his commandments. He says if you love me, keep my commandments. Then I will pray to the father to give you the Holy Ghost. John 15:7 says, “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you.” John 16:23, this was surrounded by a woman who had sorrow over her child being born. He said ask and I will give you your joy back. Then in 1 John 5:14–15, here it is surrounded by it being God’s will, so we need to read and see if it is God’s will, then ask. Then in Matthew, the sixth chapter is surrounded by asking as a Gentile unsaved does, in verses 31–32. But in verse 33, he gives us his answer when he said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things will be added unto thee.” God has a plan for every believer, and it is a good plan, when we seek him in his Word like a prospector seeking gold does.

Now can you see. He wants us to come to the place in our walk with him. Where we will say, “Father, I know you know what I have need of before I even ask. I love you, Father, and all I ask is your perfect will be done in my life, and that my faith remain strong, believing you have everything under control in my life.”

The Born-Again We Find Here

The outer court believer is a baby believer. The Word calls us born again. In John 3:3, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “You must be born again to even see the kingdom of God.” Then he said in verse 5 and astounding word, but unless a man be born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. I believe the water here is the Word of God, which is used many times in scripture as being the Word of God. In Ephesians 5:25, water is used as the word for washing us, making us ready as the bride. In John 7:38, is there any man thirsty, let him come and drink. He that believeth, as the scriptures has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. In John 4:10–11, the woman at the well. Jesus told her if she had known the gift of God, he would have given to her living water. Then in verse 14, he said this water would spring up into everlasting life. In 1 Peter, the Word says, “being born again not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible seed, the word of God.” Born again is progressive ongoing. For you pastors with these newborn believers, God wants us to teach life to them.

Thanksgiving Is Found Here

The outer court is the baby believer if he doesn’t begin to desire the mil of the word and grow. Yes, pastors, there is milk feeding as well as meat feeding, but there is one thing for sure. A pastor is to feed the sheep.

Acts 20:28 says, “Pastors, take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God which he has purchased with his own blood.” He calls the ones who do not do this wolves not sparing the flock. This believer he does a lot of asking for things, and he thanks God for them. But his prayers are all about him. Thank you, God, for my salvation…forgive my sins…give me health and prosperity…bless Mom and Dad, my cat, my dog, etc. A pastor knows that when God does not answer all these wants, then that carnal believer will fall away. There is little praise and worship found here in this outer court (baby belief), this experience. The sad part and bad part is God had moved into the holy place, and they don’t know he has moved. Many do not know or forgot that Jesus said, “Follow me.” John 10:3–4, Jesus said, “My sheep and my lamb hear my voice and they follow me.” (His voice is his Word.) Follow not a man’s voice if he is not speaking the Word of God, which is God’s voice. There is a lot of the second word. We should not listen to the second word. In 1 Kings 13, it tells of a man of God who listens to the second word and the lion ate him up (lion being the devil). The forerunner is going to take you from the outer court to the holy place and into the holy of holies. His name is Jesus, the Word of God. With many in the outer court, their prayers are repetitive. They never realize the father knows what they have need of before they ever ask him (Matthew 6:8). He tells us all, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” He wants us to come to the place in our walk with him where we say, “Father, I know you know what I have need of before I even ask. I love you, Father, and all

I ask, Father, is that my faith remain strong, believing you have everything under control.”

The Outer Court People in the Way Is Found Here

Saul, before he was converted to Christianity and before he was Paul, persecuted the church and said if he found any on the way, he would bring them, both men and women, bound to Jerusalem. He did not mean in his way. He was referring to any found in the way. He was referring to John 14:6. When Jesus said, “I am the way,” he was saying, “I will bring these saved followers of Jesus the way.”

Condemnation

I believe it is the same today if a person has heard the call and was saved by accepting Jesus as the way, and when a pastor or a teacher preaches condemnation to his congregation or loss of the free salvation because of some sin he might have done. If it is not or was not blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, then these pastors are wrong, and it is the same thing that Saul did before he became Paul is to bring God’s children all bound to Jerusalem. I even heard a pastor say if you were not tithing, then you would go to hell. I thought Jesus saved us and it was a free gift of God, not money. Shame on you, pastors. My wife and I were visiting this church, and they had a meeting on the church after the service on being a part of that church. We were kind of looking because we had just moved to Arizona and didn’t know many churches there. He said in this meeting unless we became of that church, we could come, but we would be illegal aliens there. I have been part of the body of Christ for sixty-one

years now. My wife and I both said we did not need that church. It has always seemed funny to me that we spend a great deal of time to get a person to come to Jesus. Then all we do is try to get them lost by telling them they are. Shame on you, pastor. A baby will sin if not taught the truth that brings them out of sin. Jesus said, “I am the way.” It is an experience we find in the outer court or John 3:16. John 14:4, Jesus said, “And where I go you know and the way you know.” Jesus is leading all who will follow him into the holy of holies, where we meet the Father. It is an experience where we cry Abba Father. A baby believer does not need condemnation; he needs guidance and love, teaching, not darkness. Teaching as recorded in 1 John. Must read all chapters in 1 and 2 John. This was God’s beloved disciples. He turned over his mother to him at the cross. You must read Romans 8, at least 1 through 8 but, and meditate on verse 8 when it says, “So they which are in the flesh [carnal] cannot please God.”

Out-of-Egypt Believers Must Be Found Here

It was out of Egypt, for the children is Israel. It is out of the world for the saints of God. Israel was seeking a promised land. We are to seek in God’s Word the promises that are there and claim them. Like Israel when they got to the promised land, they met the opposition, and we will also. You see, the Bible is a will and testament that was left for the children of God. You see, the devil cannot take the promise of salvation from us, but he will try to take the promises or keep the promises from us. With every will, even in the natural where there is great wealth, someone will contest the will. The Lord had promised in his will great things for his bride to be and to his

saints, but I must say here and now that God does not reward bad behavior of his called saints. 1 John 2:16, John the beloved disciple of Jesus said, “Get out of the world. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the father, but it is of the World.” James 4:4 says, “Know ye not that the friendship of the world makes us the enemy of God.” (I know I do not want to be God’s enemy.) The front cover of my book shows God’s big cherubim that God set at the entrance to the garden so Adam and Eve could not enter in again. (I do not want to make any of them unhappy with me.) You should read about them. I have read about the cherubim. They are angels of God. He sends them when needs to, just like when he closed up the entrance to Eden to keep Adam and Eve out.

People of the Gospels Are Found Here

These are the people who are just saved. The place where praise and worship of the Lord, you hardly ever hear. This is the place where prayer is all about them. Not much if any victory in life. In here they are reminded of their sins by the devil. The devil condemns them. The devil, he is a liar and the author of it. In here the blood has been applied, but few are sanctified, meaning have not been set apart unto God yet. In many cases it is because they do not want to be set apart for God. (Many times it is because of ignorance.) The dictionary says to be ignorant is caused by showing a lack of knowledge. This is why I am writing this book, to help those who maybe need to know. And our babies just need teaching. In 2 Corinthians 5:1, Paul says, “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with

hands, eternal in heaven.” Paul says he groans earnestly, desiring to be clothed upon with our house, which is in heaven. In 2 Peter 1:13, “Yea I think it meet, as long as I am in this, tabernacle to stir you up, by putting you in remembrance.” He is speaking of his body. Verse 14, “But shortly I must put off this tabernacle.” Speaking of death, we are the tabernacle of God now. If you are saved, then we have held the over feast. The blood was applied to our house, or tabernacle. When the judgement times come, he will take us home, because of the blood. Not for what we have done. Corinthians 5:7 says, “Christ our over is sacrificed for us, So all who are saved, There is no wrath, no condemnation will come to them. You are his, He bought you with a high price, you are covered by the blood.” But like he told Israel in Exodus 12, “Make haste to get out of Egypt.” (This means the world to us.) This means to fulfill Romans 12:1–2. We are to be renewed in our minds and bring the body that wants to sin in subjection to the Word of God. Which is our reasonable service.

The Called Are Found Here

Now Israel had a tabernacle, built with hands, and these were realms in which they entered into. This part of the tabernacle had a door they entered into the outer court. With us it is an experience, and the doorway is Jesus. The first experience we find in Romans 8:29–30. If you are saved now, the great thing is he knows you. He has called you and predestined you to be conformed to the image of his son Jesus. What an honor.

This scripture says all he predestined, he also called, and whom he called, he justified, and whom he justified, he also will glorify. This call is a divine call, to repentance and to a righteous life and holy walk with him. I believe the way back from the fall of Adam is by the Word of God. I believe we can have the relationship with God our father that the first Adam had before he disobeyed God. We did not get up one day and say, “I think I will get saved today.” If you are saved, it is because he called you and most likely been drawing you for a time. John 6:44, when Jesus said, “No man can come to me unless the Father draw him. And I will, I will, I will, Raise him up at the last day.” This is found in the outer court the called, but we must not stay there because in here are babies, and they are carnal and can’t please the Father. Oh glory to God, this makes me want to shout and cry all at the same time. Cry because it was my sins that put him there and shout because I was set free, free, free there. Oh, praise his holy name. All right, if you are reading this and all you have done is accepted the call of God and in doing so repented of your sins and are baptized in water, then you are saved, and you will go to heaven when he comes again or if you are part of the brideship or the bride of Christ. As we will see in our next chapters, this makes you a baby believer. Revelation 19:7, this is at the end of the book of Revelation. It says, “Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him, For the marriage of the lamb [this is the lamb that was crucified on the cross] is come and the wife has made herself is ready.” Listen, you cannot make yourself ready to be saved. Jesus did that on the cross, but the bride-to-be makes herself ready as she washes in the water the Word of God to make herself ready.

Getting Ready

The next part of this book will help you to get ready and be ready when he comes to get his bride, and not only her, but the guests also and the bridesmaids also. This book will show you all these from the pages of the Bible. There are several sets of threes that God has shown to me from the study of his Word. I now share with you. The Bible says seek and you shall find. When you seek as a prospector seeks gold, it doesn’t lay on the surface. We have to dig in the Word to find the treasures there. John 3:16 is the first gold nugget that is found in plain sight, if he is looking.

The First Part of the Threes

The Feast of over

Deuteronomy 16:16 tells us there are three feasts we must hold before he comes. The feast of over, the feast of weeks, the feast of tabernacles. The tabernacle or temple is not made with hands any longer. We are the temple. In 1 Cor 3:16–17, he says, “Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwells in you.” If any man defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy. For the temple is holy, which temple you are. I am eighty-four years old. Many of my friends died because they defiled the temple with sins. The devil is real. In this outer court, in the four gospels, we must come face-to-face with Jesus and what he did there.

Face-to-face with the first part of the Trinity. The son of God. When this happens to you, you might say that many others have said, “What am I to do with Jesus?”

The Brazen Laver

The next thing we see in the outer court is a big brazen laver made from the looking glasses of the women found in Exodus 38:8. It a type of water baptism in water. We see our self undone. The word laver means lavatory, a place of washing. I liken this laver to our baptism in water, the next step in our salvation. When we look into the laver, or the mirror of water, we see ourselves still undone. The Bible says he that believeth and is baptized in water will be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned. When a person is baptized in water, he is thought of at that time of dying (you can’t breathe underwater) and that you will rise from the dead and walk in the newness of life. I would like to say here and now that baptism in water is a one-time thing. But being washed by the Word which is symbolic as recorded in the Word when Jesus was speaking of his bride-to-be (the walk is progressive). In Ephesians 5:25, husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the Word, that he might present it to himself (as a bride) not having a spot or blemish or wrinkle. Water baptism is a one thing, but being washed by the Word to be the bride is an ongoing thing (progressive).

It Is Finished

At evening time, in this outer court, the place of sacrifice, after the last sacrifice is made, the priest would take a silver trumpet (it is growing dark now), and he will blow this trumpet, signifying to all that it is finished. (Jesus cried out from the cross, “It is finished.”) Oh, don’t you know, it became dark as evening when Jesus hung on that cross of Calvary and was crucified on that brazen altar by the religious priest of that day. Oh, don’t you know, my friend, my pastor, my brother, my sister, don’t you know, Jesus, our high priest, was blowing that trumpet. When in John 19:30, he cried out “It is finished” and bowed his head and gave up the ghost. In here the believer is a baby believer. You cannot remain a baby and become the bride of Christ. God does not expect us to remain babies. There are three commitments man will have to make if he wishes to be the bride of Christ. God’s truth, his Word, shows us each of these commitments in three realms. You will see all three of these realms all through this book.

The Called, the Chosen, the Faithful

Revelation 7:14 says those that come back with him are the called the chosen and the faithful. Every pastor hopes his congregation will go all the way with God, but he knows not all will, because of what the Word says. (Many are called, but few are chosen and yet remain faithful.)

I hope I don’t burst anybody’s bubble when I say the Word says that no one comes to Jesus for his or her salvation unless he calls them or draws them. John 6:44, Jesus said, “No man comes to me, expect the father which sent me draw him, And I will raise him up at the last day.”

The Song of Solomon

The song of Solomon 1:4 says, “Draw me, we will run after thee; The king has brought me into his chambers; We will be glad and rejoice in thee, We will thy love more than wine: The upright love thee.” Is the church running to the Lord today? Many only run to God when things go wrong in their life. We will now begin teaching on a most important part of the tabernacle of God. Called the outer court. I will now begin to show the furniture, so to speak, in this tabernacle. And also the first nineteen teachings that pertain to only the outer court, or maybe I should say to our acceptance of Christ as our savior. The Bible says God loves us, but he is a jealous God. He doesn’t like when we give no attention to him. That was what Adam did. You see where it got him, don’t you?

The Outer Court

The first part of the beginning of the three that is that of the outer court. In this realm is the first experience a believer will have, as he comes to Jesus for forgiveness of his sins. At the entrance to the outer court and the tabernacle, there are four posts, at this veil with four different colors. This outer court and this tabernacle is a picture and a shadow recorded in the Old Testament of Jesus and his death on the cross.

I liken these four posts to the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, This is the entrance to the outer court. The word of God in John 14:6 tells us that Jesus said, “I am the door, no one comes to the father but by me.” Psalm 9:30 says the entrance of thy Word giveth light. It says in 2 Peter 1:11, “So an entrance, shall be ministered unto you abundantly, into the kingdom.” Jesus is the entrance not only to the Father but he is the entrance to life. The Word says a man who is not saved is a dead man walking. In 1 Timothy 5:6, he says that “liveth in pleasure is dead while he liveth.” Also in John 11:25 and in many other places.

The Colors in the Veil

The blue in the veil represented the gospel of John. This apostle described our Lord as the eternal son of God who came from heaven. The blue represents heaven. The purple in the veil represents the gospel of Matthew. This apostle described our Lord as king. The purple robe the priest put on him represents the coronation of kings. The scarlet color represents the gospel of Mark. This apostle described our Lord as the sacrificial lamb. Scarlet is the color artery blood. The byssus color in the veil represents the gospel of Luke. This apostle described our Lord as the sinless holy one.

This veil was at the entrance, where the four posts were. I said before I like these

four posts to the four gospels. Why? Because it is in the four gospels we see Jesus; it is here we see the cross in these four gospels. we see the blood sacrifice, the lamb crucified. All the rest of the Bible speaks of it, but in these gospels shows us his death.

The Outer Court Furniture

The Brazen Altar

This alter was overlayed with brass. Brass represents sin in the Word of God. It is also a type of the cross Jesus was crucified on. He was the overlay. He was made sin for you and me on the cross. When Israel would come to offer up their sacrifices for their sins, all they would see is this big brazen altar, and all around it was blood, blood everywhere. The daily sacrifice during this over was put to death, here on this altar. For the sins of Israel.

The Crucifixion

When these animals were being killed for Israel’s sins, it was the over. Jesus at this same time was being crucified on the cross. It says in 1 Corinthians 5:7, “Purge out old leaven, For even Christ our over is sacrificed for us.” He hung on the cross, representing the altar of sin, not that he had sinned, but he was the lamb of God that was made sin for you and me.

On the brazen altar in this outer court had blood all over it. We see Jesus in the gospels, put to death. He was bleeding from head from the crown of thorns they put on his head. He was bleeding from his back from the nine cat-o’-nine-tails whip. Blood from his chest. Blood from his pierced hands, from where they nailed him to the cross. Blood from his side where the soldiers pierced his side. Blood, blood, blood. Purge out the old leaven that you may be new lump or person for Christ, our over, was sacrificed for us.

Purge Out the Old Leaven The Outer Court

In my lifetime of ministry, I have seen many believers, baby believers. They got saved to have an insurance policy. I told them there was none, but I could show them how they could miss all that was going to happen before they thought about the rapture. Baby believers and a baby will never be in the bride church. Why? Because the bride, the church, makes herself ready, and a baby is not ready. The baby believer is a carnal believer. It is not their fault; it is just the way it is. Every baby needs milk to grow. In 1 Peter 2:2, a baby as newborn babies need the sincere milk of the Word to grow. Thereby, no newborn baby in the natural is fed steak. Now this first part of the book is about the outer court. It has no covering. Because they sacrifice all the lambs and goats, covers for different sins. (Jesus at this same time being sacrificed is referred as a lamb being sacrificed for you and me and the whole world.) By the time you grow by this outer court, you will see all you had to see to receive the next step in your walk with God as he gets you ready for the rapture. You cannot remain a baby.

Now a baby needs to read the Bible. New Testament because this is our covenant. New Testament means also a will, and there is plenty of things God gives us along the way from his will. , as you try to walk with what God has shown to you, let no one give you a second word about. There is no second word for God’s Word right before your eyes. Jesus said, “My sheep, hear my voice.” His voice is the Word sent to us through different apostles. A second word after you have found the first word in that means every word you read in this New Testament is the first word. The second word will do this to you:

Will make you think wrong Will make you believe wrong Will make you speak wrong Will make you act wrong

The First Adam

When the first Adam ever sinned, in the garden, God put them out of the garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24), so he drove out the man, and he was placed at the east of the garden. Cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the Tree of Life. But Jesus, the second Adam, made a way back on the cross of Calvary and the Word of God (Romans 5:14–21, 1 Corinthians 15:19–23). I have compiled this information to inform you the way back to God is progressive through Christ and his Word.

Introduction

The Bible says that God doesn’t dwell in temples and tabernacles made with hands. In 1 Corinthians 6:19, he says, “Know you not, that your body is the temple of Holy Ghost.” In 2 Peter 1:14, Peter said, “Knowing that shortly I must put off this tabernacle.” In Hebrews 8:2 Paul wrote, “Jesus in ministering to the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched and not man.” In Proverbs 14:11, it says, “The house of the wicked shall be overthrown but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.” You see from this this that he said they were just a house, not a tabernacle.

The Old Testament

In the Old Testament, they did not have the Holy Ghost in them as we can have. He allowed the Holy Ghost to come upon them sometimes for certain things.

My Book Is about This

Getting people ready because Jesus is coming soon. All the signs point to that. As you will see in chapter five of this book. The true church that I think will be in the rapture will be the churches that rethink their doctrine. The Philadelphia was the only one Jesus was pleased with. The six others had something he did not like, one he wanted to spew out of his mouth. The Philadelphia Church was the bride church, and none of the others Jesus said gave her an open door that no one could shut and no man openeth. For thou hast a little strength and has kept my word and have not denied my name. Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation. Or tribulation which will come upon the world to try them. Behold I come quickly. Hold fast that no man take thy crown. I believe now that every Christian needs to have the infilling of the Holy Ghost more now than I ever have. Why? Because you can’t help but deny his name. I do not mean Jesus, I mean his true name. The Word of god. In John 1:1, it says, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God. And the Word was god.” I said, “Lord, you better give me another scripture for that.” He said go to Revelation 19:13, “And he was clothed in a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is the Word of God.” The true church that marries him will need to take his name, and it is the word of god. I tell you, you will deny him without the Holy Ghost that came in Acts 2:1–4 because he writes the laws on the heart of them. Look at Revelation 19:7, “Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor for the

marriage of the lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. I believe he did that with the Holy Ghost in her. From Acts 2:2–4. Then over two chapters of Revelation, 21:1–4, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth ed away and there was no sea.” And John saw the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, “Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people God himself shall be with them and be their God.” And God shall wipe away tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be any pain, for the former things are ed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said unto me, write, “For these words are true and faithful. I am alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is a thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be my sons.”

Verse 8 of Revelation 21

He said, “But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers, and idolaters and liars, shall have their part in the lake of fire which burneth with fire and brimstone,” which is the second death. I have written this cook over a few years, waiting on God to give me these things. He just said what he had written in this Bible chapter verse 5 of 21, these words are true and faithful. I have tried to tell people, when I had speakers on my car witnessing to people in the parking lots, in the bars, in the malls, I thought, This book would reach more people.

The Holy Place

The baby believer, after his born-again experience in the outer court, now comes to the holy place. It is in the holy place. In the Jewish religion, the bar mitzvah takes place, and the baby is now a son, no longer a baby listening to his mother. He now listens to his father. The baby has to become a son because it is the son that marries the Lord. Isaiah 62:5, “For as a young man marrieth a virgin so shall thy sons marry thee. And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” The sons now need to ask God for the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 says, “If a son shall ask bread, will he give him stone, or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent…if he as for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion. If we give good gifts to our children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.” When the Holy Ghost comes to you, the comforter, he will begin to speak to you

and guide you. The Bible says all that are led by the Holy Ghost or Spirit are the sons of God. I want to say something here. Everyone in the upper room. they spoke in tongues. The same thing happened in not only Acts 2:4 but in Acts 8 and in Acts 9and in Acts 10 and in acts 19. All spoke in tongues. I say to the just born-again believers, don’t listen to the second word; that’s not coming from God. Paul said it like this in 1 Corinthians 18, “I thank my God I speak in tongues more than you all. Verse 22, he said, “Tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not.” Paul said, “The things I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord, but if any man be ignorant let him be ignorant. Wherefore brethren covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak in tongues.” Who are you going to believe, those who in Mark 3:29 says they blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness but is in danger of eternal damnation. Let those be ignorant as Paul said and not let them keep you from the bride of Christ.

This Is the Comforter

The next step is the Word of God. In John 1:1, the apostles said they handled the Word of God, speaking of Jesus. That brings me to the next thing a person needs. And that is the Word of God. The bride-to-be will begin to read the Word of God and obey it because that is what will put the robe of righteousness over the garment he gave us free. In Matthew 22:1–10, I will tell you what it says. But read it. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, was going to have a wedding. And every one he talked to said they could not come. In verse 8, he told his servants, “The wedding is ready but they which were bidden were not worthy.” Verse 9 goes into the highways and byways and, as many as you find, bid to the marriage (verse 10) the servants went. And found both the bad and the good. And the wedding was furnished with guests. The king came and he saw one man without

a wedding garment on. He told his servants to take him and cast him into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Verse 14, many are called, but few are chosen. When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, the Holy Spirit came down on Jesus as a dove was given, the Holy Ghost. Then God said, “This is my son in whom I am well pleased.” Listen, brothers and sisters, do you think God is pleased with you when you let people and pastors say to you this Holy Ghost is not for today? That is a second word, because the Bible in Acts 2:39 for this Holy Ghost. The promise of God is for you and your children. And to all that is a far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. You’ve been called, have ye not.

Espoused to Jesus

Paul said we are espoused to Jesus as a chaste virgin, a holy virgin. The Holy Ghost is what sanctifies us and makes us holy by revealing the Word to us.

The Holy Place

When we enter into the holy place (the second experience) by the way of the five-fold ministry, you spiritually enter into a spiritual realm with the Lord. This is where you meet God in the second part of the Trinity. The comforter (the Holy Ghost). Shame on you preachers and pastors that say bad things about the baptism in the Holy Ghost. Are you ignorant of this? Paul said that “let them be ignorant.” I can’t. I want to tell everybody. Because that is the only way you will be in God’s bride, the

church. Yes, I said church, but there will be only one church.

The Furniture of the Holy Place

The candlestick was gold. It represents the Holy Ghost. There were seven pods filled with oil. There were six branches, three on a side. Six is the number of man. The center one is Jesus saying to us man is complete when he has Jesus in the center of his life. 1 Corinthians 1:10, Paul says, “I beseech you brethren by the name of the Lord Jesus that ye all speak the same thing. There be no division among you.” The big tool of the devil is to divide and conquer. He has done a job of it/ We have thousands of denominations and more believe alike. It shows the divide and conquer. There is only one church, that is the bride, and God said she was new Jerusalem. And that was the church of Philadelphia. God had set an open door to her that no man could shut. She had a little strength. She kept the Word, had not denied his name because she kept his Word. She was going to be in temptation. I believe that was the tribulation. She was going to miss. He was going to write up on her the city of God, new Jerusalem. In Revelation, Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. There is your bride. Those other churches God was not pleased with. He wanted to spew them out of his mouth. They were neither hot nor cold, just lukewarm. I am sorry to say I think this fits many for our churches today.

His Name

When my wife married me, she took my name, so I asked Jesus what was his

name. You know, the Philadelphia Church did not deny his name. So I did ask. Is it Jehovah? He seemed to say no. Is it Messiah? Again, no. I said, is it Jesus? Again, no. I said, then what is your name? He said to look at John 1:1. “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was god.” I said, “Lord, you better give me another scripture.” He took me to Revelation 19:13, “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God.” I said, oh, we are to take his name, the word. And he said, “Those other names are me also.” I looked back at verse 1, and I said, “Lord, it says no man will know your name.” He said, “In my spirit you are not a man. You’re a spirit man. And I will show you many more things.” The bride-to-be has to make herself ready by reading the Word of God and believe what you read with no question why. The bride of Christ needs the Holy Ghost for the anointing that comes with him. The church has got so scared of wildfire till there is no fire in the churches today. Isaiah 60:1, the Bible tells us to rise and shine. “Arise, shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” In Isaiah 61:10, it says, “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my god: for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and has the bride adorneth herself with the jewels.” Isaiah 62:5 says, “For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over. The bride so shall they god rejoice over thee.” This is what is going to happen. The holy place is where you will become sons, no more a baby being fed with the milk of the Word. Now you will fulfill the meat of the Word. As Paul said in Hebrews 5:12, “For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness. But meat belongeth to them of full age to discern both good and evil [right and wrong].”

Light

Jesus said these words, “For every one that doeth evil hates the light. Neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds be reproved. But he that doeth truth [the word] comes to light.” I have opened up some scriptures for you, but when you receive the Holy Ghost, God will open them up to you. He wants these scriptures in his tabernacle. We are his temple and tabernacle made without hands.

The Table of Shewbread

Back now to the furniture. The table of shewbread, the light from the candlestick would fall on the table, tells us the Holy Ghost will glorify Christ. This shewbread was laid on the table in perfect order telling us there is order to the Word of God. Psalm 23:5, “Thou preparest a table before me in the presents of mine enemies, thou anointest my head with oil, so my cup runneth over.” In the outer court we saw the son for salvation in the holy place we see him as truth. In chapter 3, we see him as lie. This will be the holy of holies.

The Eagle Saints

The Bible speaks about eagle saints that will fly in the heavens, but are the churches today eagle saints or are they chickens in a chicken coop of

denominations, pecking each other to death because of a difference? You can take an eagle, and if he gets a wing damaged, he will just flop around with that one wing. He knows he is supposed to fly and be free. He knows the chicken coop is not for him. You take that same eagle with two good wings, he will fly in the heavens, to freedom. God wants us to be free, not to sin, but free without sin. The Holy Ghost will help you to do that. I used to praise God in the church with just one hand up. Now I raise both hands up. I found if I had only the one hand of praise, without the other hand of worship, I would not fly very high. Praise and worship is lacking in the churches. (The Bible says God inhabits the praise of his people.) Last week in church was kindly special because Jesus was praising his father in church. You see Jesus is in me as a comforter when we praise God. It is like Jesus is praising his father. In John 1:12, he says here, “As many as receives him he gives them power to become sons of god.”

Power

When my wife and I received the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues, I put loudspeakers on top of my car and went to parking lots playing music and giving out tracts. Then I would go to the malls, and people would have me pray for them. Or some part of the family. Then I thought I was to open my house up for church on Sunday. Well, I did, and for about three weeks, no one came but one woman. I said, “Lord, I thought I was to do this. And all that comes is this one woman.” He said, “Just keep teaching her until I get a hundred for you.” It wasn’t long before my house was so full. I looked out in the yard, and the kids were playing

no room for them in the house. I turned and said, “I will have a church next week.” After the service, my wife said, “How’re you going to have a church next week?” I said, “I didn’t say that.” She said, “You did.” I went looking Monday for a church. If God spoke this through me, here was a place. I found this little church. I got the keys and told our people to go in and clean it up. I had no money, but I went to the bank and told him my story. The banker called them that owned that little church and said, “I want you to give Mr. Mccoy the keys then I want to meet there next Sunday.” I could tell you about many more miracle after miracle. You came too late to tell me this Holy Ghost is not for today. We are told to walk by faith. You can’t walk by faith. If you do not have faith, you see faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. I would read the Bible out loud so I could hear it speak to me. Walking by faith is walking in the Word, his name.

The Police Officers

When that police officer has that suit on and that badge on his chest and that gun in the holster and his hat on, everybody that sees him knows just who he is and the authority he has. I see it as kind of the same when you receive the Holy Ghost, and you put on the whole armor of God, recorded in Ephesians 6:13–15. The word says to stand having on loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness. And your feet shod with the gospel of peace and above all the shield of faith to ward off the fiery darts of the wicked. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword. Don’t forget the Word, which is the Word of god. When you have all this on, you have all the authority of heaven and the angels of

heaven. I have been into bars witnessing, and a lady said, “Get out of here. This is not the place.” I said, “Oh yes, this is the place.” Another man told her to leave me alone. He said, “I want to hear him.” Just like people will know the police officer, people know me and take the sword of the Spirit. It is like the officer’s revolver. Some want to listen; others want to run away from it. Truth is the Word, breastplate of righteousness. This is the Word. The gospel is the Word, shield of faith. The Word, helmet of salvation. The Word, sword of the spirit is the Word. Revelation 17:14, “These shall make war with lamb and the lamb shall overcome them for he is lord of lords and king of kings. And they that are with him.” Are you ready for this? Those with him are the called and the chosen and the faithful. The Bible says many are called, but few are chosen. His bride is all three of these. Those who have received the Holy Ghost are the chosen of God. Do you when in Revelation 9:11–15, Ananias didn’t want to lay hands on Saul, but God said it is all right. He is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name. Oh yes, you need the Holy Ghost to become the bride of Christ. To bear his name, the Word. All right, in chapter one we saw the first part of God’s threes he has used to show our salvation or our eternal life promise he gave to us. The holy place there are seventeen different examples that is part of God’s threes to show us all about His Holy Ghost and walk.

The Holy Place: We Find the Feast of Weeks Here

In the outer court, we saw the feast of unleavened bread, which represented our salvation experience we have with Jesus. The examples he gave us was in Exodus 12:3–13 and in 1 Corinthians 5:7.

We saw in Exodus 13 the lamb without a spot or blemish, a type of Christ. We saw the whole congregation was to eat the lamb after killing type of out eating the Word, the bread of life (the lamb). We saw that the blood was to be put on the doorpost so the death angel that was to come would over this house. This is a type of the blood that is protecting our house (our body) until Jesus comes again. This was for the over for the people, same as Jesus is our over (1 Corinthians 5:7). Purge out the sin in our lives. They were told to eat and make haste to leave Egypt. This is a type of what we should do after the death of the lamb. We should eat (in our case it the Word we should eat) and make haste of life. We, like Israel, are to eat the Word of God without leaven in it (this means sin). We are to obey the Word in Romans 12:1–2 and be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the Word of God and make haste to get out of the things of the world. Here in the holy place, we will see him in the feast of weeks spoken of in Deuteronomy 16:16. This Word tells us we must hold all three of these feasts before he comes again. The feats of weeks were the ingathering of the wheat. This represents Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4). The ingathering of the wheat harvest to commemorate the giving of the law. Deuteronomy 16:10 and Acts 2:1–4, when you receive the Holy Ghost, he writes the laws upon your heart. No more on tables of stone. Hebrews 8:8–10, 10:16, among other things, this is what the Holy Ghost does. He also comes to us as a comforter. This was the birthday of his church. If you have received Jesus as your savior, your next step is to receive the Holy Ghost. This is the second part of the Trinity. You met him as the son in your salvation. Here you meet him as the baptizer the Holy Ghost. We just left the outer court, where only a believer was a baby. Next we will see the baby as a son in chapter 2.

The Holy Place: The Chosen Are Found Here

The Word says many are called but few are chosen. I believe when you receive the Holy Ghost, you are no longer just the called of God but you are now the chosen of God. What makes me say this? The Word of God does. In Acts 9:11–15, in this age, Saul before he was Paul. God told a man called Ananias to go to Saul and lay hands on him, that he might receive his sight. Ananias didn’t want to go, but God said, “Go because he is a chosen vessel unto me. To bear my name among Kings and Gentiles and Israel.” I believe this name is the Word of God, and I believe this is what we, like Paul, are to bear before anyone and everyone we come in with. But to speak it, we first must know it. Maybe I should say know him, because he is the Word. I believe everyone who receives the anointing of the baptism in the Holy Ghost is a chosen vessel unto God. All who say he does not want it and it is not of God and it is not for today will never be that vessel. God wanted him to be. Revelation 17:14, we see in this age when these nations came against the lamb, said the lamb shall overcome them for he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and they that are with him are the called, the chosen, and the faithful. According to this age, the church will need all three of these experiences with God. I believe we need all three of these to be the bride of Christ. In the Jewish background, in their houses because of it being hot at the entrance to the home, there were two vessel pots at the door. One had fresh cool water for drinking. It was called the vessels of honor. The other pot is where the drinker would throw the water he didn’t finish. It was called a vessel of dishonor. When we speak the first Word, the Bible, we are the vessel of honor. But when we speak the word other than the Bible, we become the vessel of dishonor. Because it is the second word, it is contaminated. When we speak and it is not what God said, then it is a second word, contaminated.

The Holy Place: Through the Wilderness

When we received the baptism in the Holy Ghost and we began to leave Egypt (the world to us), unlike Israel leaving Egypt to find the promised land, when we came out of the world (our Egypt), we were not looking for a promised land. But we look for the promises of God that is in the new covenant, and there are many. Each person in the kingdom receives these by his believing what Jesus said. These also come by our obedience to our Lord. The word in Joshua 1:8 says. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate on it day and night. That thou might do what is written for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then shall thy have good success.” I do not believe God will honor or bless and prosper bad behavior. I believe this would be not obeying the commandment. 1 Corinthians 15:34 says, “Awake to righteousness and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God; I speak this to your shame.” Today it is hard to tell the church from the world. They cheat, they steal, then divorce. They commit adultery. They commit fornication. He says wake up and sin not. I speak this to your shame. (You once did this. Do it no more.)

The Holy Place: People of Acts Are Found Here

These are saints that are filled with the Holy Ghost. They speak in tongues. They lay hands on the sick. These are sanctified saints set apart for God. These are the wise virgins of Matthew 25:1–10 who have oil on their vessels where the light doesn’t go out. These saints have found the second part of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost, the comforter sent back from heaven. John 14:161–7, Jesus said, “I will send you another comforter who will be with you forever. The spirit of Truth.”” The world cannot receive John 15:26, but the

comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name. He will teach you all things and bring to remembrance whatsoever I have said to you. This is the sealing of the Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance. The down payment. He is a teacher of spiritual things, greater than man’s wisdom (Ephesians 2:13). When you receive the Holy Ghost, you will be in good company. There was Samson; there was David; there was Gideon, who saved Israel with men (Judges 6 and 7); there was Paul the apostle, who said, “I speak in tongues more then you all,” and said, “Let those who want to be ignorant be ignorant but forbid not the speaking in tongues” (1 Corinthians 14:37–38). The dictionary says ignorant shows only a lack of knowledge.

The Holy Place

The Door

The baby is moving into the second part of the tabernacle, called the holy place. It is in here the baptism in the Holy Ghost is present. The baby will be a baby no longer, the bar mitzvah, the time when the baby becomes a son no longer following the mother but now the father. The Holy Ghost will now lead and guide him and teach him. These are found in the holy place. They all have a meaning, as we will see.

The Lampstand

The Table of Showbread

We have the company of the one hundred in the upper room, and we sit in the company of Jesus’s mother. We sit in the company of Peter, and last but not the least, we sit in the company of Jesus because when he was in water baptized by John the Baptist, the Holy Ghost came down on him. John said, “The one who comes after me he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire…who’s fan is in his hand and he will purge his floor and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Oh we are in good company… Glory to God.” Listen, don’t be the chaff he is talking about here. Put on the robe of righteousness, be the garment he gave you free at the time of your being born again.

The Holy Place: People of the Truth Is Found Here

In the outer court in the first section of this book we saw and received Jesus as the way. This is a saved believer, the one’s Saul before he became Paul wanted to bring all these new believers bound up in chains to Jerusalem. We still have that spirit today in some who want to condemn God’s children. When you teach God’s children to walk and come out of the world, there is no judgment or condemnation to this message. God wants his children to clean up but never to be condemned if he does not. When you come into this part of God’s teaching of threes, you find his as the truth. In John 14:6, he says, “I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life.” We found him in the way at our salvation. We will find him as the truth with the baptism in the Holy Ghost. The holy place we will find him as life in the holy of holies in the next chapter. What is truth? Jesus said, “My word is truth.” Jesus said in John 8:32, “You will

know the truth and the truth will set you free.” Paul says in Corinthians 5:8, “Let us keep the feast not of old leaven of malice and wickedness but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” The fruit of all truth is the Spirit. He wants us to come to the knowledge of the truth and be established in truth. Peter said there will be teachers who will deny the Lord that bought them. Many will follow them whom the way of truth is shall be evil spoken of. When marrying the Lord, we take his name, and his name is the Word. Get to know your husband-to-be. Read his Word sent back to you through the holy apostles. It is this Word that will set you free. Keep your eyes and ears on Jesus, who is your husband-to-be. Read the letters and the book of Acts it is in these you will find him as he speaks through the apostles he sent. Listen only to the first word. Usually the second word comes from religion and religious organizations; they are not your husband-to-be. What is truth? My Word is truth, Jesus said. When you receive the Holy Ghost, you will then be the chosen of God. In Revelation 17:14–17, here Jesus has come back, and he is in war. When he said, “Those with me are the called the chosen and the faithful.” He also said, “Many are called but few are chosen.” You were chosen through the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Place: People of Praise Is Found Here

In the outer court or the salvation experience, it was people of thanksgiving. In here the baby believer is always asking for things. Lord, bless me and I would like a new car and new house. Bless my cat, my dog, etc. On and on his prayer goes. In here he is asking and thanking our Lord when he does answer his prayer. It is in the holy place where out of the mouth of babes the praise is perfected. It is in here we receive the Holy Ghost, and we learn that it is all right to raise our hands in praise to him. In 1 Timothy 2:8, Timothy says, “Here by the Holy Ghost. I will therefore that men pray everywhere lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”

Psalm 28:2, “Hear the voice of my supplication when I cry unto thee with lifted hands.” Psalm 63:4, “Thus will I bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name.” Psalm 134:2, “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.” Psalm 141:2, “Let my prayers be as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” Psalm 143:6, “I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee; as a thirsty land.” It is all right to raise our hands in praise and prayer. It is a way of saying “I surrender, take me and use me, Lord.” ages: Psalm 34:1, 50:23, 71:6; Hebrews 2:12, 13:15 The Word says to praise him even if it is a sacrifice to do so.

The Holy Place: People of the Body of Christ Found Here

The Bible speaks of this holy place as being a worldly sanctuary even though this was the birthday of the church. It is where the believers have received the Holy Ghost or should have, if in fact the church they are in believes in or recognizes and teaches that this is a gift. That was to be for every one the Lord calls to himself. False teaching about this great experience that God sent back to his church. But even though we see this worldly sanctuary, we also see the body of Christ in these denominational churches. When you find a church that has, through this Holy Ghost, a body ministry going on where each part of that body has concern for the others. The body ministry is not found in the outer court. In the outer court, there is still much sin in the lives of these baby believers. The Word calls them carnal (Romans 8:4–15, again in 1 Corinthians 3:1–11, and again in Hebrews 5:9–14). To remain a carnal believer

is not good. The Bible says this believer does not please God. In the outer court, the believers deliver no one, not even themselves. It is in the holy place where the believer begins to hear the Word of God that will sanctify, make holy, perfect, or set apart for the one who saved them—Jesus Christ. I believe it is in the holy place that the believer begins to see his need for a holy walk if he is to be the bride of Christ. Paul put it this way when he said we are in a race for the prize of the high calling of God. And he says, “I lay aside every weight of sin that would cause me not to be able to run in this race” (Hebrews 12:1). “It is not the one who begins in the race that will be crowned with the crown of righteousness, but only those who finish the race,” Paul again in Philippians 3:12–15. That he was pressing toward the mark of the high calling of God. He knew he would need to have experientially what he already was in Christ positionally. This is and was the reason for God sending back to the church the Holy Ghost, who was to get a bride for his son, a bride that would take his name, the Word of God, and become a chaste virgin, which means a holy bride. In the book of Genesis 24, we see the picture and shadow in this chapter of how Abraham, a type of God sent his oldest servant a type of the bride of Christ to be. Never took her eyes off the servant (the Holy Ghost) until they met and ran to each other a type of the rapture. (You must read this chapter of Genesis 24, what a beautiful picture of what is happening now with the servant, the Holy Ghost. He is in the house of God, calling out a bride for God’s son, Jesus Christ.) In this realm of the holy place or your experience of the baptism in the Holy Ghost, you are becoming a son of God, no longer a baby. And it is the sons of God that become the bride of Christ. Isaiah 62:5 tells us this when Isaiah says, “For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as a bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride so shall thy god, rejoice over thee.” In the next chapter of the holy of holies, we will see the true bride of Christ. Babies are found in the outer court experience. Sons of God are found in the holy place experience, and later on in the book, we will see the bride of Christ experience in the holy of holies.

The Holy Place: Meat Believers Found Here

No more milk, this is in your outer court experience with God, your over. Where the blood is applied, and you are saved. We need the milk of the Word. (Like in the natural to get the baby started.) When we talk of the meat of the word, it is spiritual meat, as Israel ate when they came out of Egypt. Psalms 145:15, here we see the eyes of all wait upon thee, and thou givest them their meat in due season. (He said when ready.) Then in John 4:32, Jesus told his disciples, “I have meat to eat that ye know not of then he told them what it was.” He said, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me and finish his work.” The meat is the Word of God. We need to eat it so we can do his will. As he tells us through Paul in Hebrews 5:11–14, in this age Paul says, “I have many things to say to you but you are dull of hearing, look at you, you should be teachers, but you need milk which is the first principles of God. You need this over and over again, and everyone who uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness.” He’s a baby. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, who by reasons have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. He is saying here in a sense to be perfect and holy and righteous is to know right from wrong. (Simple, isn’t it.) This really takes in his commandments that is broken by the babies in Christ often. Romans 8 here he is speaking of the carnal baby believer. And in verse 7, he says the carnal mind is enmity against God. For it is not subject to the laws of God, neither indeed can he be. I have heard pastors say we are not under any laws, just grace and mercy. That is true for you becoming a believer. But Jesus gave us two commandments, and really to obey them is to obey the ten commandments.

To Know Right from Wrong

Is it right to commit adultery? Is it right to commit fornication? Is it right to be a drunk? Is it right to covet? Is it right to kill? Is it right to steal? Is it right to

honor the father and thy mother? He said, “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and thy body and thy soul and Love thy neighbor as thy self.” This is the meat, and it is his will. Paul said, “Let me not hear of any not walking in his commandments that becometh saints.” John 14:15, Jesus said, “If you love me then keep my commandments and I will pray to the father he shall give you another comforter.” Verse 21, Jesus said, “He that hath my commandments and keepeth them he it is that love me, and he will be loved by my father and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Matthew 5:19, Jesus here says, “He who breaks these commandments and teach others to do so will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Then in the last book of the Bible, Revelation 22:14, he says, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the three of life. And may enter in through the gates into the city.” Then in Hebrews 6:1–3, where we started, he says, “Leave the principles of the doctrine of Christ, and let us go on unto perfection. Leave behind repentance from dead works and faith toward God and the doctrines of baptism, the laying on of the hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgement, and this will we do if God will permit.” You will have to have permit.

This Word Permit

I built several homes, and I had to have every kind of permit to build these houses. I had to have a builder’s permit. I had to have a septic permit. I had to have an electrical permit. I had to have a water permit. I had to have driveway permit.

Then when finished, I had to have a permit to occupy the house. These inspectors made sure that I had all things right before they put their signature on the permit. I believe God has not put his permit on the denominational churches because they are still babies, as Paul’s word says in 1 Corinthians 3:1–4. We do the same thing. I am a Methodist. Well, I am a Pentecostal. Well, I am a Catholic. Well, I am a Baptist. Well, I am a Presbyterian. Are we not carnal? It is Jesus that is our husband-to-be, and God is our Father. Will God ever give us a permit to go on to the brideship? When the Word of God in Hebrews 6:1 says, “Leave these things behind us and go on to perfection.” Listen, you can’t leave behind what you do not have. This is why God is not giving us permits. To go on, we teach the same things over and over again. We talk the same way every day. We look like the world, and we act like the world. But he will have his bride, and she will take his name and walk in his word. We see a picture of her in Revelation 3:7, the Philadelphia Church. We see her in Acts 15:14, when Simeon declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. I believe the bride will come out of the body of believers of the body of Christ, as Eve came out of the first Adam’s body, and believe Eve was a beautiful woman, and she came out of the body of Adam. I believe the bride, the true church, will be a beautiful bride that will come out of all that believe. The apostles’ names were in the book of life before Jesus died and resurrected, and they walked with him. But it was after his death and resurrection in John 20:22. Jesus breathes on these disciples and said, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.”

The Holy Place: The Ear Begins to From Here

In Mark 4:26–29, Jesus spoke of another one of his threes. A man planted corn

in a field. The blade came up first, and he did not know how. First came the blade, then the ear, and later the full corn. The blade, I liken this to the outer court, the experience of the baby believer. We don’t see fruit on the baby believer, just like the farmer sees no corn on the blade of corn. It was not time for the corn to have corn, and there are believers whose time has not come yet. (But thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years, I believe that should be time enough. Don’t you think?) We should not expect to see much fruit on the baby believer. But as the corn is watered and maybe fertilized, it begins to grow the ear, but it is just a nub. But the last is the full corn. What was planted (the seed) it will produce the kind as the seed was. I believe the bride will bring forth children unto the Lord some thirtyfold and some sixtyfold and some hundredfold. (You put three or four seeds of corn and you get three ears on a stalk with two or three hundred seed, just like was planted. Wouldn’t that he something is that was souls because we planted the seed in good ground.

The Holy Place: Blessings Are Found Here

In here (Ephesians 1:13–14), by having the Holy Ghost, this is the earnest or down payment of our inheritance. It is when we receive the Holy Ghost. We begin to receive some of the inheritance, as we are obedient to his Word. There is no reason not to expect his blessing to come to you. This is the birthright of the true church.

The Birthright

In Hebrews 12:16, we read here Paul says, “Follow peace with all men and Holiness without which no man shall see God, don’t let bitterness spring up in

you, lest there be any fornicator or profane person as Esau who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.” The birthright of Esau was not to be born. He was his father’s son. As people teach that we lose our eternal life as the father’s son when we give up our birthright. This is not so. It is talking of blessings. I believe because of the way the church has lived and walked, and I will say denominations because it is in these we find the believer, but because of the way she has walked in sin, she gives up the blessings that was her birthright. This could be healings, prosperity, and good success. But I believe if the church would repent of her behavior and walk, she once again could see in her life the blessings again.

The Holy Place: The Sanctified Found Here

Romans 15:16 says here that the Gentiles might be acceptable being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. If you have not received the Holy Ghost, how then can we be sanctified by it? We are sanctified in Jesus and holy and righteous in what he has done on the cross. This is a positional standing we have with God. But our standing and our state and our experiential walk is not there when we look at the church today. I believe it is because the believer will not read the word of God and rely only what they hear on Sunday morning. God expects us as believers to become what the Word says we are—holy, righteous, sanctified, perfect. This can only become true when we become doers of the Word and not just hearers. We go to church to learn and by the Word of God, by the fivefold ministry, but where are they today? It seems as though all we have are pastors that have some ability to teach.

When we send our children to school, it is to learn so they will become good, productive citizens. It should be no difference when we go to church. It should be to learn, to become sanctified, productive Christians. The word sanctified means to be set apart unto God. When a person goes to college to become a doctor or lawyer or whatever he has set his mind to be, we see that some are better than others in their profession. Why is this? It can only mean that, one, the person in question applied himself more than others. Two, the person in question studied hard. Three, the person in question had good teachers and professors. It is no different when it comes to being a Christian. Even in some of these great professions we have today, they will say God was there. We were called to be the image of Christ in the world until he comes back, and I assure you he is coming back to see that planted should produce its own kind. But the evil has sown so many tares among the wheat it is getting hard to tell which is which. But my only answer to this is God says in John 10:27. “I know my sheep and they follow me,” and again in 2 Timothy 2:19, he says, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal. The Lord knoweth them that are his. And let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

The Holy Place: Warriors Are Found Here

When the baby believer comes into the holy place or his baptism in the Holy Ghost experience, he is no longer just a believer. He is now a chosen vessel unto God, just the same as Paul the apostle was. The Spirit-filled believer sees a quick that he has a fight on his hands from the devil and from religion. It has been over two thousand years now since our savior walked on this earth as it was for the great man of God. And the fight has not changed we still have the fight with the devil and with religion today. I don’t believe there is a believer in this world today that the time for our Lord to come is near.

But if it be tomorrow or two years from now, the Lord God has sent back the Holy Ghost, the comforter, with power to fight the good fight of faith. He has given us his Word to fight against the evil one and religion and win the battles. He tells us in Ephesians 6:10–17, he says, “Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might, put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against power, against the rulers of darkness of this world. Against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you might be able to withstand in the evil day (it is now, my brethren) and having done all to stand, stand therefore. Having your loins girded with truth (the Word) and having on the breastplate of faith (the Word) and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel (the Word). Above all, taking the shield of faith (the Word), wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation (the Word) and the sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God). If we are saved and baptized in the Holy Ghost and we do not read or study the Word of God, then we have already lost the battle of life the word and religion and the devil will throw at us. Just because we are Christians. After we have done all to stand the stand.

The Holy Place: In Here We Know Him as Christ

God is a triune God. He is God the Son, he is God the Holy Ghost, and he is God the Father. In the outer court we had the encounter with him as the Son who died for us and taketh away our sins and took them upon himself on the cross. He paid the penalty for sin. It was and is called the over. When Christ comes again, he

will not be looking to see if we have been good or holy or righteous. This will play a big part in our part we will play in the wedding. Will we be a guest there only, will we be the bridesmaid, or will we be the bride of Christ? When he died, it was for our past sins and our present sins and our future sins as far as eternal life is concerned. The picture we see is in Exodus 12:1–15, when the death angel came, it saw the blood on the door post of the houses, and it ed over that house. We are the house of God, and we have the blood on the door post of the heart, and when the eternal death angel comes, it will over the believer. Because 1 Corinthians 5:7 says Christ our over is sacrificed for us, and when the books are opened and the book of life is open, everyone who has expected his Son he sent his name will be in that book. You say, Brother Paul, what about the scripture where it says the names being erased out? We must realize that it was not God’s wish that anyone should perish, so I believe, and I believe I can prove is that everybody’s name was and is in the book of life at the beginning. In Exodus 31:33, this was the time of Israel’s great sin. When Israel broke the commandments of God. Verse 31, Moses returned unto the Lord and said, “These people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.” Verse 32, yet know if thou wilt forgive their sin, and if not, then Moses said, “Blot me, I pray thee, out thy book which thou has written.” Then in verse 33 God said unto Moses, “Whosoever hath sinned against me, Him will I blot out of my book.”

How did his name get there? Jesus had not died yet

How could this be unless the names were there from before the foundation of the world. Revelation 17:8, “The beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit and go in to

perdition, and they that dwell upon the earth shall wonder whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was and is not and yet is.” Ephesians 1:4, “According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.” In Revelation 3:5 it says, “He that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white rainment, and I will not blot out his name, out of the book of life. But I will confess his name before me father, and before his angels.” Many, many believers have lived in fear that their name would be erased from the book of life. This study is to address this issue and put it to rest and ease the minds and the spirits of us who are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, our savior and Lord. Psalm 69:26–28, we read there about the people who gave Jesus vinegar to drink when he asked for water and they pierced his side when he hung on the cross. The Word said, “Let their names be blotted out of the book of the living.” In Luke 10:17–20, “The seventy were sent out, and they came back rejoicing, telling Jesus even the devil was subject to them.” Jesus, in verse 20, said, “Rejoice not that spirits were subject to you but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” They were there before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4, “You must do the will of the father” (accept the one he sent, Jesus). All right, back in Exodus, God told Moses, “I will block out only those who sin against me.” The only sin you can do against God is to not accept his son he sent. Revelation 3:5, 12:11, ‘How do we overcome? We overcome by the blood of the lamb.” When we accept John 3:16 we are an overcomer.

The Holy Place: Artificial Light Is Found Here

In the outer court we had natural light because there was no covering. This is why it is called the outer court.

The holy place had a covering, and it had a candlestick, and the only light in there was that of the candlestick. This is a type of the church and Christ. The candlestick had three on one side and three on the other side with one in the middle. Six is the number of man. The candlestick represents the believers in the six lamps that held the oil so the light would never go out. The six lamps represent Jesus. When man has Jesus at the center of his life, there is light and life. This light is divine light in the holy place, where the light would shine upon the shewbread. I liken this to the Word of God, where the light will reveal divine light to us, by the Holy Ghost he gives to us. In Matthew 5:15, we are referred to as a candle that is put on the candlestick and gives light unto all that is in the house. He says, “Do not put it under a bushel.” He says, “Let your light so shine before me, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.” Mark 4:21 says, “A light is not to be brought and put under a bushel or under the bed, it is to be set on a candlestick so all in the house can see.” He is saying we as spirit-filled Christians that have Jesus at the center of our life and what makes us light to be seen of those in the house. In 1 John 3:20, it says “Every one who doeth evil hates the light and he that doeth truth comes to the light.” In Psalm it says, “Thy word is a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105). It is the Holy Ghost that lights up that word for us. Isaiah 60:1–3 says, “For the church and the believer to arise and shine for thy light has come. And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people; But the Lord shall arise upon thee and the Gentiles shall come to thy light.” But what has happened? It is a dark time in our land today. If you watch the news, you will see just how dark, and the religious church is asleep. And even those Spirit-filled are asleep, and their wicks need to be trimmed. Matthew 25:6– 12, “The cry was made the bridegroom cometh arise and trim your wicks.” (You see, this was the bride because she is the one that will be watching and not sleeping.) The true church, she is looking for her husband-to-be and her king to

come any day. You can hear in the Spirit maybe today. Are you ready? With all that is going on in this world, I would be very worried if I did not have the anointing that comes with the baptism in the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Place: The Wise Virgins Are Found Here

It would be wise for every believer to listen to the Word brought forth by the fivefold ministry about the Holy Ghost. And stop listening to unbelievers of the word on the subject of the Holy Ghost, how they say it is not for us today. We just saw in Matthew 25, where only five of these virgins had oil in their vessels for light. It is that they are asleep with the foolish virgins, but at least they had oil in their vessels, and the Bible says we are the vessels of God. The Holy Ghost is not found in the outer court, as it was in the holy place. Jesus had died and resurrected from the dead when he took the apostles and breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Ghost.” And he said, “Go to Jerusalem and wait until you be endued with power from on high.” Yes, he is a second work of God’s love for us. The comforter in this holy place or in this experience. He is the second part of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost. The son was in the outer court, or your salvation experience, but in the holy place. He is the Holy Ghost that is calling out a people for his name, the bride. He is sanctifying her and helping her to get ready for his return. She is putting the robe of righteousness over the free garment that was given to her in the outer court experience. Isaiah says in chapter 61 verse 10, “I will rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothes me with the garments of salvation. He hath clothed me or covered me with the robe of righteousness as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” We see her again in Revelation 19:7–8, “Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him. For the marriage of the lamb is come and his bride has made herself ready, and to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.”

Jesus said in John 14:15, “If you love me then keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father and he shall give you another comforter.” Then in verse 21 of the same chapter, he says, “He that hath my commandments and keepeth them. He that loveth me shall be loved by my Father and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.” I do not believe the bride-to-be can make herself ready without the anointing that comes with the Holy Ghost. And I believe that a son who will not obey the Father’s commandments will be the least in the kingdom to come, not the bride. I think Christ’s bride will be more than someone who stays in the outer court or just a salvation experience. The baby believer that stays in here is carnal and cannot please God. In 1 Corinthians 3:1–15, he is talking about a baby believer being fed with milk. They were carnal. Then he talks about a man’s works and rewards. And in verse 15 it says, “If a man’s work shall be burned up, he shall suffer loss; But he himself will be saved yet so as by fire.” God’s bride is not going to go out like this smelling of smoke. She is going to be victorious. By taking on his name, which is the Word of God, that is what my wife did when she married me; she took my name to be my bride. We will have to take his name, the Word of God. John 1:1 and in Revelation 19:13 tell us this is what his name is, the Word of God. He says no man knows his name. Only the Spirit man will know his name. What about the outer court believers, are they not going to be saved? Sure they are. Romans 8:29–30 tells us all he calls the justified (this means saved). But I believe they will be the guest there at the wedding, as recorded in Matthew 22:10. The invitation is John 3:16. That is the free garment we get by accepting the call. In the Jewish wedding, all who were invited to the wedding got a white wedding garment to put on. Only those who do not have this free garment on will be cast out. Recorded in Matthew 22:11–13. I believe there will be also bridesmaids there. I believe these will be the wise virgins in Matthew 25:8. Although they were asleep, they had oil in their vessels.

But the bride will not be sleeping when he comes. She will be watching and waiting and saying, “Today may be the day my husband-to-be will come.” He said, “Watch you do not know when he will come. But he will come as a thief in the night.” A thief only comes for the good of the house. I have never heard of any who took the garbage cans. He is coming for all who will be in the wedding. In Matthew 25, it was at the midnight hour when he came. I don’t believe this means a midnight hour as in twenty-four-hour period. No, I believe it means he will come when the world is and the church is in darkness. Because of the great falling away of believers going back into sin. The Bible speaks of a time when no man cam work. I believe this is speaking of spiritual work. I believe that time is now. It seems that the body of believers do not want to hear about being sanctified and obeying God’s commandments. The bride is never asleep. She is the one who gave the call in Matthew 25:6, “Behold the bride groom cometh, wake up and trim your wicks.” How do I know this? Because in Revelation 22:17, the spirit and the bride say, “Come.”

Sons of Light

The true church is first sons of light. John 12:36, “While you have the light, believe on the light, that you may become son’s of light.” Ephesians 5:8, “For you were sometime in darkness, but now are you light of the Lord; Walk as children of light.” 1 Thessalonians 5:5–6, “For ye are the sons of light, and sons of the day. We are not of the night, nor of darkness, so then let us not sleep as do the rest, But let us watch and be sober.” The sons are told not to sleep, and they all were in Matthew 25 except the bride

that had cried out to the children to wake up. Isaiah 62:5 says in the middle of this age, “For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee and as a bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” Romans 7:4, “Wherefore my brethen, you also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ: that you should be married to another. Even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” The true bride of Christ every Sunday is crying out, “Wake up trim, your wicks, get ready. Get your light from under that bush so it can shine. There are many who need your light.” The bride will not be asleep but will be about the husband’s business. My prayer is that you will not listen to the second word but only the first word, the Word of God. The second word will come a lot of the time from another man of God. Saying this is not for today and this and this and that is not for today. Listen, all the New Testament is for today because it was written to the church of Jews and Gentiles that were born in the upper room in Acts 2:1–4. The Bible says, “My sheep hear my voice and they follow me.” Christ’s voice in the New Testament Word of God, all of it hear ye him. My wife hears my voice. She doesn’t listen to other voices telling her something different than what I have told her. Not all that says “Lord, Lord” (Matthew 7:21) will enter. Jesus said, “There were some like this he didn’t know.” Please read Matthew 7:22–23. He never knew them,

The Holy Place: The Church Delivers Self Here

When the church received the Holy Ghost, he began to first see the word, baby for the first time. He began to use the Word. Because it is now revealed to him. By the Holy Ghost.

In John 2:27, here is a scripture that most leaders do not like to hear. Here he says to the Spirit-filled believer, not a baby—the baby still needs the milk from the mother, religion, but this age is for the sons of God—the anointing you received of him abideth in you, that you need no man teach you. Jesus is saying here, “I am in you now, and I will teach you. If a leader is speaking the Word of God when he is in the Spirit, it is the same as if Jesus is speaking to us. But I do not believe because we have hundreds of denominations who do not speak the same things as Paul told them to in 1 Corinthians 1:10 has been God speaking. We have division on just about every doctrine in the Bible. This ought not be. We are called to be the bride of Christ to deliver others, and since the denominations are not delivered, they spend their time trying to be delivered. On the third read of this book, you will see that the bride is concerned for the salvation and deliverance of others. This is the bride. My wife and I had five children, thirteen grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. My wife and I never condemned any of them, correct them, yes, when needed. Took them to church. Taught in the home. I was a priest of my home. Every man is a priest of his home to help meet the spiritual needs of his children. The bride is more than John 3:16. In this second realm, the baby has become the son of God. The bar mitzvah has taken place. He now listens to the Father, voice the Word of God. In the next chapters, we will see the bride is new Jerusalem. The old Jerusalem went forth the law; the New Jerusalem will go forth the Word of God, of life (Isaiah 2:3). New Jerusalem is a heavenly Jerusalem and a great city. In Hebrew 12:22, 13:14, here we have no continuing city. We see her in Revelation 3:12, in the Philadelphia Church. This bride will have the new name written in pen and the name of the city of God. Which is new Jerusalem. We see her coming down in Revelation 21:2 and John saw the holy city coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Are you ready? She got to go up before she can come down. Jesus is coming soon.

Chapter 3

Contents

The holy of holies, the ark of the covenant. Had the Ten Commandments restored and rod of Aaron that budded. The golden pot of manna and the golden censer (Hebrews 9:4). The feast of tabernacle. Every believer is a tabernacle. God’s tabernacle is with men (Revelation 2:14). Peter said, “Shortly I must put off this tabernacle to stir you up.” Into the land—This land is our land. Saints with his name—The Word of God is his name (John 1:1 and Revelation 19:13). The righteous judge (Jesus). Saints of life here—John 14:6. These saints found the way, salvation and truth, the Word of God, and they found life. (The outer court was the way, the holy place is the truth, and the holy of holies is life.) People of worship here—John 4:23, “The hour cometh and now is when true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit and in truth.” Psalm 95:6, 29:2, worship is on the way back to what Adam had in the garden. The overcomers in here—He says in Revelation 3:5, Jesus said, “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out his name.” Strong meat believers—In Hebrews 5:11–14, the meat believers are no longer on milk. In 1 Peter 2:2, desire the sincere milk of the Word that you might grow thereby. Strong meat is for those who know right from wrong. The full corn ready to harvest—Those who have the baptism in the Holy Ghost

(Acts 2:1–4). The hundredfold here—These know 100 percent of the Word. The inheritance—Those in here are heirs and t heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). Heir according to the promise (Galatians 4:7). The bride is found here—Revelation 22:9, “Come I will show you the bride, the lamb’s wife.” He showed me the holy Jerusalem descending out of heaven. (She is a church.) Saints glorified here—Romans 8:30, those he justified, he glorified. Jesus as Lord—Found by the bride. The bride who delivers others—Revelation 22:17, the spirit and the bride say come. All through the Bible she says come. The bride make herself ready. Behold, the bridegroom cometh. Where are you in relationship to Jesus?

I put this header about the second word. No one who takes the second word and not the first word. The Bible will be the church of the bride. And my book will bring that out. Only the first word will make you a vessel of honor, where he can say to you, “I am well pleased.” He told Jesus that when he was baptized and again just before the great flood. Enoch, the Lord said to him, “I am well pleased.” And he was raptured up, but Moses and his son and their wives went through the flood. God gave Adam and Eve the first word to what they should do. But Eve gave Adam the second word. The devil really gave the second word to Eve. Eve gave the second word to Adam. Look what happened just because of that. In Revelation, out of the seven churches in chapter 1 verses 2–3, there is only one that is going to miss the great tribulation that is to come upon the earth (soon). It is the church of Philadelphia. She was a church of love, she had little strength. She kept his Word and has not denied his name. He set an open door to her. He would keep her from the tribulation. He said, “Let no man in Jerusalem. You know who is coming down out of heaven, the bride, new Jerusalem. She is infinite linen. Holy and righteous. She never took the second word. Got to go up

before we can come down. The bride is in Revelation. Amen.

The Wedding Is Soon to Take Place

The signs of the times are here as we speak. The soon coming of the Lord to get his bride is at hand. The bride is always watching, and in her heart, she is saying, will this be the day? As she sees what is going on in the world. She knows that at the midnight hour, her husband-to-be, Jesus, talked about in his letters to her. He refers to it as a dark time of this dispensation we are in right now.

The Bride Is Making Herself Ready

The Holy of Holies

In the tabernacle of Moses, recorded in the eighth and ninth chapters of the book of Hebrews, he reveals to his bride-to-be three realms or experiences she will have to experience to become what he called her for.

The Outer Court

This was one experience. The experience of our new birth of salvation. When we heard the call to come to him and we did, and by confessing and believing in our hearts that Jesus died for us and that God raised him from the dead, and when we

believed this, we were saved and with our mouths we did confess this, and confession is made unto salvation. This makes us a baby believer in Christ the Lord, and we must not stay a baby believer. But we must grow on the Word. We saw in the outer court a baby needs milk. Just like a baby in the natural needs milk to grow (1 Peter 2:2).

The Holy Place

As we walk in the Word, this can only happen if we read the Word. You can’t help but grow. And God has set down in the church the fivefold ministry so we can grow thereby. Jesus is the Word, and this is the name you must take to become his bride. In the holy place is the experience we encounter when we receive God’s Holy Ghost. The comforter. This was his promise to you and me (John 14:16–17). People will say I have not received this yet. Have you obeyed verse 15 of John 14? Are you walking in and obeying his commandments? This Holy Ghost is for every person he calls, and we will need this comforter many times in our faith walk. The allegory I am making in this book of the tabernacles is to show in three distinct but different realms or experiences a believer is to make to be a part of the bride company. With just John 3:16 is a ticket to be at the wedding. In the outer court, this is where most believers are today. Many are there because they believe or have been told there is nothing else. Most in this realm are carnal Christians. Corinthians 3:1–3 and in Romans the eighth chapter and Hebrews 5:12–13. Every baby needs milk at first to get them started in their growth process (but we have forty-, fifty-, sixty-, seventy-year-old babies). This should not be, but God never intended a baby to remain a baby, but they do, and some die never experiencing the second realm or the third realm of the walk with God.

Many have experienced this realm with God. This realm is usually found in the local Spirit-filled churches like the church of God and the assemblies of God and most holy churches. Now the sad thing about this is the New Testament Hebrews, the ninth chapter, says it’s worldly sanctuary. Most will not it this, but when we enter this realm, we become the sons of God. This is called the bar mitzvah. The time when a Jewish boy, about the age of thirteen years old. Yes, that is right, teenagers, and so many act like that But the Holy Ghost begins to convict them and make them deal with the sins in their lives, to become light. Here is where he begins his walk into maturity so he can become a part of the bride company. By walking in the world. Isaiah 62:5 says as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee. The Bible says no man can come to him unless he calls them to himself. I believe the baptism in the Holy Ghost is the engagement ring he gives to us, and we are known to everyone that we are espoused to marry the Lord Jesus Christ. Now with the help of the Holy Ghost, the comforter, the espoused bride-to-be begins to make herself ready. The Old Testament calls this the time of purification (to make clean, holy). This is the second experience the believer must receive. It is a second work of God’s grace to us. It is the baby first. It is the son second. It is the bride third. In the Bible we are told to follow him. John 10:3–4 says the sheep will hear his voice and will follow him. and he calls his own sheep by name and leadeth them out. They do not or will not follow a stranger. (He who speaks a second word to me is a stranger to me and should be to you.)

All right, where is he going that we must follow? He tells us this in Hebrews 6:19–20. He entered into the holy of holies through the veil where he the forerunner is for us entered, Jesus. In here you will find the bride-to-be (the overcomer, the mature saint, the faithful). Did you notice that Jesus knows our names, and he is calling us out and drawing us unto himself. Ephesians 1:4 says he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world. That we should be holy without blame before him in love.

What Is the Holy of Holies

In the outer court, there was the brazen altar and the brazen laver. Everything in here pertained to our salvation and baptism in water. The first act of obedience to the call to come to him. In this outer court, all is brass. Brass represents sin. In the holy place, we saw the candlestick of pure gold. Everything in here was pure gold, unlike the outer court, which was all brass, that represented sin. There was no brass to be found in the holy place. In here is where the shewbread was. We saw where the candlestick represented Christ, the church, and the shewbread, the Word of God, all in order on a table of gold. In here is the place where the saints should build each one up and no longer beat each other up. It is the sheep fold where the sheep are protected.

What Is in the Holy of Holies

When you go through this wall, or experience, and I might add there are no shortcuts; everyone has to come the same way.

When we come this far with the Lord, we now have access to the very presence of the Father. We cry out Abba Father. The ark of the covenant is there. This covenant was a new covenant, called the New Testament with better promises. In here was the beginning of a new priesthood. One of grace and mercy, and not that of law. Any pastor or teacher who teaches law or some kind of works for eternal life or salvation is not a New Testament pastor or teacher. Revelation 1:5–6, “Unto him that loved us, and washed us, from out sin’s in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priest unto God.” His Father. We will not only rule with him on his throne as his bride to come, but we will reign in life now by Christ Jesus. Which is the Word of God. People ask me, why do I have to believe the Word and read the Word? For one reason. Christ wants a chaste virgin. This means without sin, holy and righteous. What man wants a bride he can’t trust and is immoral in behavior, a sinner in every way? Also the Word, as you apply it to your life, will help you prosper and be happy in this world. That is not possible in a world that Satan rules. The Holy Ghost keeps him away. That’s one thing he fears.

The Bride-to-Be: What Is She to Do Now

She is to be concerned for God’s children and, in prayer as an intercessor, put the blood on the mercy seat and by this make intercession for all believers in Christ. No condemnation is to be found in the holy of holies, unlike the outer court of brass representing sin. In here where it is all Gold representing holiness and righteousness, and the wings of the cherubim were stretched out from wing tip to wing tip over the ark, protecting all it represents.

The Bible has a lot to say about the cherubim. They are servants of God in judgment. Cherubim were placed at the entrance to the garden of Eden, a flaming sword, to guard the way to the tree of life. I know one thing, they are creatures of God. I do not want to ever anger them in any way.

The Commandments

The broken commandments that were broken are in the ark, restored, and are no longer broken. What does this mean to us? I believe it means in the Old Testament, the children could not obey the commandments of God, and when they could not, they immediately came under condemnation. These commandments were never meant to be used for salvation. They were already delivered out of Egypt on their way to the promised land. The commandments were for life, the present life (Joshua 1:8). Many today say we are under grace and mercy, and we no longer have to obey the commandments of God. This is true as to them pertaining to your salvation or eternal life. This was free. Today we are delivered by the blood of Christ, and the commandments were and are for life now. In the New Testament, there were two: love God with all your heart, your body, and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. (This covers all ten.) I believe to be the bride of Christ, the commandments must be restored in our lives. He writes the laws upon our hearts, with the giving of the Holy Ghost. And if we would be honest, each one of us could say. Just before I do a sinful act, something inside of us says, “Don’t do that” (Hebrews 8:10), and this grieves the

Holy Ghost. Read Hebrews 8:10. It is there he tells us that. (I know because I have heard him.) We know we are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, and we know that is eternal (John 3:16), and there are many, many, many more scriptures to back this up. The commandments are to be restored in our life for prosperity and success in our lives now (Joshua 1:8–9). The carnal believer has no Holy Ghost comforter to say “Don’t do that.” So for now, the true church, the bride of Christ, will restore these commandments in their lives, prosperity and success in life. (The bride of Christ never again comes under that bondage the commandments bring without the grace and mercy that came before.) The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you. The apostle was confused, as many believers are today, on this subject in Romans 3:31. They had just heard the grace message of salvation. They said, “Do we make void the law through faith.” God forbid the apostle said, “Now we establish the law. His bride will establish the law and be a doer of them.” Jesus said, “He that loveth my commandments and keeps them he it is that loves me” (John 14:21). Sounds like marriage to me. In Matthew 5:19, “Whosoever therefore shall break the least commandments and teach men so shall be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But he that shall do and teach the same shall be the called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.” John 14:15–16, “If you love me, then keep my commandments, and I will pray to the father and he shall give you another comforter.” Here we see that obeying the commandments has a lot to do with receiving the Holy Ghost Comforter, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in you.

What Is in the Holy of Holies?

The holy of holies. Aaron’s rod that budded was there. In the outer court we were dead sticks, no life, no fruit, a rod that had no life. In the holy of holies we see life the rod is budding. The Bible says in Revelation 1:6, “He has made us kings and priest unto God the Father.” In 1 Peter 2:9, he says, “We are a royal priesthood a chosen generation that is called out of darkness unto light.” Every man is a priest of his home. I, through and by the spirit (the Word), do mortify the deeds of the flesh. The people around us will see fruit, a dead stick that has budded and has come alive (Revelation 1:5–6, 1 Peter 2:5–9). The bowl of manna was bread that Israel ate every morning. The next thing we see when we come into the holy of holies is the bowl of manna. I asked God, “What does this mean for me today?” He said, “It means I am going to give you revelation, knowledge of me every day of your life.” And he has. The children would eat this manna as they traveled in hopes of the promised land. What is the meaning of this to a New Testament church? It means the same to us as it did to them. We to need the manna every day as we look for the promises of God. The manna for us is the Word of God. Luke 4:4, “And Jesus answered them saying, it is written that man shall live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” In many places, Jesus took bread and broke it and gave it to his disciples. In the church today we take the bread and break it with grape juice in remembrance of his death until he comes again (1 Corinthians 11:24–26). In Matthew we see something different, Here Jesus said, “I am sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24–26). Then came the woman and said, “Lord, help me.” But Jesus said it is not meat, to take the children’s bread and give it to dogs. But he saw her faith and gave it to her.

Now in John 6:32–33. They were talking about this manna, and Jesus said, “Moses did not give you this bread from heaven [manna] but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the true bread is he that came down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.” Then Jesus said in verse 35, “I am the bread of life, he that will come to me will never hunger, and he that believeth in me will never thirst.” They began to murmur. He said, “Murmur not. No man can come to me except the Father, which has sent me to draw him, and I will raise him up at the last days.” When you get from the outer court of being delivered by the blood just like they were. They had the blood on the doorpost, and they were baptized in the Red Sea that delivered them from the hand of Pharaoh. We were baptized in water, and they had a cloud by day and a fire by night to lead them and guide them. (A type of the Holy Ghost that led them.) If you have received what happens in the holy place, the Holy Ghost, then we to have a comforter in us that will lead and guide us night and day as we walk in this wilderness journey seeking the promises of God. I ask the Lord, “What does this manna mean for me today?” He spoke to me in my spirit and said, “I am going to give you revelation, knowledge every day,” from the Word of God. God has spoken to me in the written Word, but he has spoken to me many times on the spirit. The children needed this manna to sustain life. We need the manna, the Word, every day to sustain life. When we get there, we have only one husband, and his name is Jesus (the Word of God in John 1:1 and Revelation 19:13). We need to take this name, the Word of God, if we are to become his bride. And the Word says he is a jealous God. Be careful how you exult other names. I ask people, “Are you a Christian?” They seem mad I’d ask that, and they come back, “I am a Baptist / a Methodist / I am a Presbyterian / I am a Catholic.” I say, “That is another name. Do you have his name?” They come back, “What is his name?” His name is the Word of God. John 1:1 and Revelation 19:13 say his vesture was dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. It takes all of him. They say. “Oh, I didn’t realize that. I’ve never heard that before.”

All right, when you have come this far in your walk with God, you have your outer court experience of salvation and the holy place experience of the anointing Holy Ghost, and when you enter the holy of holies, you now need no man to teach you. But the anointing of the Holy Ghost will teach you. 1 John 2:26–27, “These things I have written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you; But as the same anointing teach you of all things and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” In the holy of holies, we begin to talk to the Father, where we say Abba Father (Galatians 4:6). My God, my God, my Lord and really mean it and understand it. Abraham’s wife called him Lord. I call my Jesus Lord (2 Corinthians11:1–2). The church that is to be the bride of Christ cannot be that of judgment and condemnation. Saul before he became Paul the apostle was a Pharisee of the Pharisees, and he said if he found any in the way—he meant salvation be Jesus (Because Jesus said “I am the way”)—he will bring them to Jerusalem bound. This was before Saul became Paul. Saul at that time was not converted over to Christianity, and he had some excuses, but I tell you any and all pastors today who preach loss of salvation and condemnation has that same spirit as Saul had. If we find God’s children that is in the way (the outer court) and we try to bring them to new Jerusalem bound up in bondage, these leaders need to get on their knees and ask God’s forgiveness and ask God to open their spiritual eyes to the New Testament of grace and mercy. The church is new Jerusalem, and we are to bring forth children of God by grace and his Word. In Isaiah 2:3, Isaiah said, “Out of Zion will go forth the law.” Zion stands for, according to the dictionary, old Jerusalem, the land of Israel, the Jewish people, and what went forth was law of condemnation. But the New Jerusalem will go forth the Word (Jesus). We as a New Testament church, the bride of Christ is to never judge and bring

forth condemnation. Listen, listen, listen, only Jesus has the keys to hell. The bride he gave keys to life and the kingdom. Revelation 1:18, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold I am alive for evermore and have the keys of hell and death.” Amen. This means so be it. Then in Matthew 16:18–19 he was speaking to Peter, and he said, “Peter upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys to the kingdom of heaven.” Romans 7:1–4, Paul says here we can’t be married to the Old Testament law and the New Testament grace. We can’t be married to the law and Jesus. A woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he liveth, but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if while her husband liveth she be married to another, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband is dead, she is free from the law. So that she is no adulteress though she be married to another man. Wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ. That you should be married to another, even to him, who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Paul is saying here the Old Testament is dead, which was the old husband, and that we can now be married to the New Testament and bring forth (fruit) freeborn children. Anyone who preaches anything other than grace to be saved, it is not nor has it ever been the grace of Jesus plus something else. There is no other way to be saved but by the blood of Jesus. Oh, there is a walk to be in the brideship company, but not to be saved. This was done on the cross of Calvary and when you repented of your sins and came to him in answer to this call. To talk in any commandments after salvation is because you love him and what he did. When the children of Israel left Egypt, which is a picture and shadow of what was to come to his church, the blood was applied to the doorpost. They were to make haste to leave Egypt. They were baptized in the Red Sea. The cloud by day

and the fire by night was a type of the Holy Ghost leading them to the promised land. We are heirs and t heirs with Jesus, and we as Christians in our walk of the Word look for all the promises of God, and there are many for this bride. His espoused wife-to-be. This does not take away from the word that someday we will be in a new city called heaven, which is another promise he will keep.

The Eagle Saints

When an eagle is born into a chicken coop, if he doesn’t know he is an eagle, then he will scratch just like all the chickens for food. You can take a chicken and put a drop of blood on his head, the others will peck him to death Just because he was different. But one day he looked up and flying in the heavens were others that looked just like him. He, like all of us, has said why not me, why not me. Lo and behold he began to flap his wings, and he flew right out of that chicken coop and was now flying in the heavens. Some churches are like chicken coops. They seem to say things about each other in envy and strife. This is what Jesus came for, to set the captives free. Free from the devil. Free from religion. Free from traditions and anything else that would stop the Christian from growing and be set free. They say that eagles will fly up to a high mountain and just sit there with his face to the sun and molt till he loses all the old feathers and he becomes like new in appearance. When the Christians want to change and he begins to look only at the son, he too will change just like an eagle. We see the type in Adam’s wife. God caused a deep sleep to come on Adam, and

from his side came forth a woman, a bride for Adam. This same thing happened to Jesus. Jesus came to get a bride, and God caused a deep sleep to come upon Jesus. It was the sleep of death on the cross of Calvary. And they pierced him in the side. Out came water and blood, and I believe this was a type of the bride of Christ to be. She must come by the blood and by the water. By his blood and by his Word, which he used many times as the water of the Word (Ephesians 5:25, 1 John 5:6). Some believe this to be water baptism. Be as it may, I like the Word being the water of the word (Ephesians 5:25–28). But like Adam’s bride, there was no life in the church until the Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost, and then the church came to life (from a rushing mighty wind). It was on this day that Jesus came as the comforter and gave life to his church he had formed and is still doing today to all who will heed his voice. The church went into that upper room somewhat defeated. Peter had just denied him not once but three times, and Judas betrayed him. The disciples were arguing over who would be the greatest in heaven. Their savior had died. They felt lost and defeated. But when that Holy Ghost came on them, they came out of that upper room victorious and became great men of God. This Holy Ghost runs all through the Bible, just like the blood, but many refuse it, others condemn it, and others call it the devil, which is blasphemy according to Mark 3:29. “And you do not want to do this and if you have already done it in ignorance then repent he will forgive but it no more.” I wish everyone would stop saying anything bad about the Holy Ghost (because it is him, our father, don’t you know). I believe anyone who rejects the Holy Ghost hasn’t a chance of being his bride. I believe they will be the guest there. Matthew 22:10 and John 3:16 is an invitation to come. In Matthew 22:10, Jesus said, “Go into the highways and byways, invite all to my wedding so it will be filled with guests.”

Light

What is it that makes us light? Well, we only need to look at the ten virgins of Matthew 25. Five were foolish and five were wise. They had oil in their vessels (the Bible speaks of us as vessels). These had the Holy Ghost, which is referred to as oil. They were asleep, but they woke and trimmed their wicks and had light not so with the foolish virgins. (Listen, God is saying you are foolish if you do not accept his Holy Ghost, because it is him.)

This Holy Ghost Is Not for the World John14:16

I can’t say it loud enough that this baptism in the Holy Ghost is not for the world. You must have John 3:16 before you can have Acts 2-4. The Holy Ghost was prophesied that he would come. When Isaiah said, “Who will I teach knowledge? And who will I make to understand doctrine?” Them that are weaned from the breast of milk feeding. Line upon line, and precept upon precept. Hear a little and there a little (for with stammering lips and another tongue, will he speak to his people (Isaiah 28:11). This prophesy came to in Acts 2:4. Yes, he is double portion (2 Kings 2:9). Read what Elijah did with his double portion of the Spirit. 1 John 2:17, “He is the anointing, that comes when you ask for him.” In Luke 11:11–13, here Jesus is speaking first about the natural father. If your son asks for bread, would you give him a stone? If he asks for a fish, would you give him a serpent, or if he ask for an egg, would you give him a scorpion? How much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Ghost to them that ask him.

The Robe of Righteousness

The garment of salvation was given to us free on our accepting Jesus as our savior. But the robe of righteousness has to be put on over the garment of salvation (Isaiah 61:10, Revelation 19:7–8). He says the bride-to-be makes herself ready, by putting on the robe of righteousness. Here he calls it fine linen, the righteousness of the saints. Paul called her a chaste virgin (chaste means righteousness in 2 Corinthians 11:2).

Sanctification

The holy place is the realm or experience where we are sanctified by the Holy Ghost. I am using a lot because you have to have to enter the holy of holies. I go back and forward at times so you can see the difference. In Romans 15:16, the Gentiles were sanctified by the Holy Ghost. When the Christian by faith offers himself as a living sacrifice unto God, the Holy Ghost cleanses him of the carnal ways by the Word of God and fills him with his own presence and empowers him for service. Scripture text: Luke 3:16–17, Acts 2:1, Luke 24:49, Romans 6:3–10. The sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost begins to cleanse us of sin to live the life of true holiness.

This Is Done in Part by Renewing Our Minds

Romans 12:1–2, his bride-to-be is not to be conformed to this world, but she is to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. I believe this can only be done by the Word.

We send our children to school to learn for their future. It should be the same for the Christians. They should be learning from the Word of God. It will help in their success and prosperity in the world. Our walk is on a highway called the highway of holiness. The redeemed walk there (Isaiah 35:8, Proverbs 14:11). I believe the walk began in the holy place. The Holy Ghost experience (Psalm 93:5) says holiness becometh thy house oh Lord forever. We are that house, or tabernacle. The Holy Ghost is a fountain of holiness to his church. This power the Holy Ghost brings to us is the power to live a holy life in an unholy world (with great reward now and at the end).

He Burns the Chaff Luke 3:16–17

The Holy Ghost is a refining fire. Sometimes we like the Holy Ghost just for blessings, so we separate the fire from the Spirit, and the result is a lukewarm church that won’t be ready, as recorded in Revelation 3. The church of Laodiceans, he wanted to spew them out of his mouth. Scripture ages: Malachi 3:2–3. In Matthew 3:11, John the Baptist said, “I baptize you with water but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.” Acts 2:3, “And upon the early church when the Holy Ghost came there appeared cloven tongues like as fire and sat up on each of them.” (On and on it is the Holy Ghost makes the church the bride.) As the fire purifies the precious metals from crude and valueless things. This is what the Holy Spirit is to do as he burns away the dross of carnality and sin.

If we identified with Jesus at his death, then we should be identified with him in his resurrection, to live a life above sin.

The Flesh

It is hard to die to the flesh. It was harder for Jesus as he died on the cross. 1 Peter 4:1 says for as much then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind (for who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin). When we start taking away the things the flesh like to do, it will require suffering of your flesh, because it doesn’t want to stop. We were called to be conformed to his image (Romans 8:29). I cannot read the Bible without seeing his holiness. We are to conform to his image of holiness. I don’t know if I can become as holy as my husband-to-be is, but I hope people can see a little of Jesus in me. Paul said for me to live as Christ and to die is gain. I would like to see this in me. I know it will take a lot of dying to myself (Philippians 1:21). You see that Peter in 4:1 is saying when you suffer in the flesh, then the Holy Ghost and the Word is getting us ready to be what he called us to be. Oh, how hard it was to die and all sin to crucify. Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in thee. May all self be slain and my friends see only you.

The Headship Ministry of the Bride

When the bride begins to make herself ready, she sees it is hard to do away with

the flesh, as it says in 1 Peter 4:1. The bride of Christ will get guidance from the Holy Ghost. He reveals the Word to her. The dictionary says gossip is idle chatter about others and their private affairs. The ear. When we listen to gossip, we have allowed our ears to become a garbage can. Our ears always should be open, but to the need to the people. The nose. God does not want his bride to be self-righteous. It is stink in his nostrils. The mouth. There is a mouth, and in is the tongue. James 3:5 says this tongue is a small member but unbridled can do much damage in the body of Christ or families or business, but we are hung by our tongue sometimes. Proverbs 15:4 says a wholesome tongue is a tress of life; but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. Proverbs 21:23 says whosoever keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from trouble. James 3:5–7, it is a small member but can kindle a fire, a fire a world of iniquity, and it defiles the whole body. The birds and the serpents and things in the sea have been tamed. But in verse 8 the tongue can no man tame, it is evil and full of deadly poison. We bless God our Father and curse men, which are made after the similitude of God. (No man can tame it; this is why we all need the Holy Ghost as he can.) The eyes. The eyes of the bride will not look on the things that he would not want to see. Yes, he is inside of us, and he sees all. Therefore we should not grieve the Holy Spirit of God whereby we are sealed unto the day of judgment. Psalm 32:8 says he will instruct us and teach us and I will guide thee with my eye. This scripture brought back my dad that I loved. I can when I did something he was not pleased with, and he would look at me in those eyes, and I didn’t ever do that again. My dad was a contractor, and at fifteen years old, I worked with him and not often, but sometimes he would give me $15. It would make me so happy. My father does this for now and much more.

The Holy of Holies

It is in the holy of holies where the true church, his bride, will begin to become very intimate with God. God has always loved you, but in here you have fallen in love with him, maybe for the first time. In here is where he is known as Abba Father. It says in 2 Corinthians 6:17–18, “For the bride to come out from among them (the Word) and be ye separate saith the Lord and touch no the unclean thing and I will receive you and will be a father unto you and you shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord almighty.” In John 16:27, Jesus says the Father himself loveth you because you have loved his son Jesus. In Matthew 7:7 we see now another set of threes. In our prayer. He says also and it will be given to you. Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be open unto thee. Are you still in the asking stage of the outer court? In your experience, you had with Jesus in your salvation. Or are you in seeking stage or are you close enough to be knocking. I hope so because he is at your door right now and wants to come in. Revelation 3:20–21, “Behold I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door. I will come in to him and sup with him, and he with me. “To him that overcometh will I grant sit with me in my throne even as I overcame and set down with me Father in his throne.”

The Holy Spirit

I am writing this book of all I have learned in my seventy-four years of being saved and my thirty-eight years of having the Holy Spirit and my twenty years of ministry. I said that to say this I started young in my life, but I have loved every minute of it. And to say to you if you are young, start, and if you are older, start. He will be there for you. Start with the commandments, the Ten Commandments, to save us, but after we are saved, then it would be good to start obeying them. Why do I say this? It is because the Word says he who accepts his commandments and will teach others will be the greatest in heaven, and he that does not will be the least. It does have its good points because it says in it very blessed rewards. In Joshua 1:6–9, he told Joshua to be strong and have good courage to obey the law of Moses, the Ten Commandments. Turn not to right or the left that thou shall prosper wherever you go and have good success. When we receive the Holy Ghost, we are his temple and tabernacle. The Holy Ghost gets to the soul. In 3 John 2 he says, “Beloved. I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, as thy soul propereth with the Holy Ghost he gets the body the spirt the soul.” In this chapter, we will see all three parts, but I will only expound on the third part, the holy of holies.

The Outer Court

The feast of unleavened bread was the feast of over. This was and is our salvation experience we had with Jesus at the cross of Calvary (this was the outer court).

The Holy Place

In chapter two we saw the feast of weeks and how this was our Holy Ghost experience when we received the baptism in the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues. We saw how any church denomination will not fulfill her destiny or why she was called without the baptism in the Holy Ghost. Blind leaders of the blind do not make God’s Word of no effect (this was the feast of weeks). We now come to the holy of holies—the Feast of Tabernacles. All three are recorded in Deuteronomy 16:16. We are told to hold all three of these feasts. Not naturally but spiritually. The tabernacle of Moses was made with hands. The tabernacle or temple is not made with hands. We are the tabernacle of God, and we are his temple. In 1 Corinthians 3:16 he says, “Know you not that you are the temple of God.” The temple of God is holy, which temple you are. (He says do not defile his temple.) In 1 Corinthians 6:19 again he says, “Know you not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you and you are no longer your own. For you were bought with a price.” In 2 Peter 1:13, Peter knew that his body was now the tabernacle when he said, “Yea I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle to stir you up, and put you in remembrance.” This feast of tabernacle we must hold before Jesus comes again and this is to love one another, and when we do this because you are a tabernacle and so am I we should feast on the Word as tabernacles of God. If another brother or sister regardless of his denomination, if he is a hand or foot, how can we say I don’t need him. Religion has kept the body apart. We are still carnal baby believers and are as bad as the church of Corinthians. They said I am of Paul, and another said I am Apollos. We say I am Baptist. Well, I am Pentecostal. Well, another says I am church of God. Are we not carnal? Yes, we are. Paul said, “None are anything. It is God that gives the increase to his people.”

The reason the church is not more victorious in the world today or powerful is because we do not have the whole body acting together. One church condemns the other. Many saints will not speak to or have anything to with each other unless it carries the name of their religious denomination. Here we see what has made the church ineffective in the world. John 1:2 tells us why the church is still in darkness and is not victorious in the things of God. If the Baptist is a hand, and the Pentecostal is the other hand, do we not need the other hand? Doesn’t a body need both hands? Can the assemblies of God say to the Methodist we are a foot but we don’t need another one? John says we do not love God, and we are in darkness. Will we never change? Well, we better before he comes. We must hold this last feast. We got hundreds of churches with twenty-five or thirty people in them because we will not recognize each other, and we have a whole bunch of jealous-hearted pastors. Afraid to get close to someone who may know more than him. If that is the case, it is because God has blessed him more, and if so it is for the whole body. This is how you enter into the holy of holies where Jesus the forerunner has already gone (Hebrews 6:19–20). Those who have entered into the holy of holies are those who are holding feast of tabernacle as he will fellowship and love the brother or sister because they are believers, and God is in them. When I hear a pastor say to a believer if he doesn’t tithe and give offering, he will go to hell, or a pastor say when he sees a carnal believer doing something he should not be doing that he is lost and will go to hell. Oh, I see a lot of hirelings, but I don’t see many shepherds who really feed the sheep. God asked Peter, “Do you love me, Peter?” “Yes, Lord, you know I do.”

“Feed my sheep. Peter, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord.” “Feed my lambs. Peter, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord, you know I do.” “Feed my sheep.” He never said “condemn them,” like some pastors do. He gave Peter the keys to the kingdom.

The Outer Court: Called

In chapter one we saw the called there in the outer court (Romans 8:29–30).

The Holy Place: Chosen

In chapter two we saw the chosen (Ephesians 1:4, Acts 22:14, 9:15). We saw in these scriptures the Holy Ghost was given to the chosen of the Lord.

The Holy of Holies: Faithful

The bride of Christ is to be faithful to his name, and this name is not just Jehovah or Yahweh or Jesus or Messiah, but his name is the Word of God (John 1:1). In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So his name is the Word of God. In Revelation 19:13 he established

this at least to me in verse 13 when it said he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. Faithful in the dictionary is a true follower, and one that is loyal. Adam had his bride, and Jesus will have his, but she will be faithful and a follower of him. Revelation 17:14, “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them; For he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings; And they that are with him are the called, the chosen, the faithful.” The bride was not only saved she was filled with the Holy Ghost, and she was faithful. She not only had a salvation experience (John 3:16). She had a Holy Ghost experience of Acts 2:1–4, and she had not only these, but she had his name and was faithful to that name, the Word of God, regardless of others and how they walked.

The Holy of Holies

In the Outer Court

We see in the scriptures of Exodus the twelfth chapter that Israel was to make haste and leave Egypt. Father God delivered them. In 2 Timothy 4:10 Timothy said that Demas had forsaken him and went back into the world. A believer can do this. Why? Because the baby is still carnal.

In the Holy Place

We saw that in the spirit the children of God had to walk in the wilderness to get to the promised land. We saw that in the holy place was the worldly sanctuary where we received the Holy Ghost. The cloud by day and the fire by night was a type of the Holy Ghost leading and guiding the Jewish people to the promised land (Exodus 13:21). Our promised land is the promises that was left for in the will of our inheritance. (The Bible is our will. Jesus died and left this will for us.)

The Holy of Holies

Into the land promised to us by God and his Word. We become heirs and t heirs with him. I believe into the land, in our case is spiritual because it refers to the promises of God. He left for us and recorded in his Word, the Bible. Sometimes I think it is as hard for believers to get into the Bible and to take the land, the promises as it was for Israel to go into the promised land, but as it was then the people were afraid and said they were like grasshoppers among the giants. We have spiritual giants in our lives that keep us from God’s Word and what it promises to the believer. Just like back then there are many that say we can take the land (the promises). There are many that have that different spirit. Like Caleb and Joshua. You can find this written in Numbers 14:37–38 but read all of chapter 14. When we start to believe God for his promises that he left us in his will, the Bible we have, the devil, and demon spirits contesting the will, and many times another brother or sister will come against this will and say, yes, I believe we are heirs and t heirs with Christ, but this is not for today or right now. This will be when we die. There were many in Numbers 13 and 14 that said this very same thing, but there were two that had a different spirit and said it is ours now. The people today who have that different spirit called in the Bible the Holy

Ghost spirit is saying we can defeat the devil Satan and his demons and tell them to leave our land alone, our bodies, our joy, and our prosperity, etc. But just like Israel then when they saw the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites, and the giants, they saw themselves like grasshoppers, and so they were in the enemy’s sight. 4The Lord has given us the Holy Ghost or to all that will ask him for it. In belief and not is unbelief, and maybe it will take the verse in John 14:15–16, when he said, “If you love me then keep me commandments and I will pray the Father and he shall give you another comforter which was and is the Holy Ghost. Whom my father will send in my name.” Stop saying we do not have to obey the commandments of God. We do, if we are to have good success. The Lord has given us the Holy Ghost, healing, prosperity, joy, and peace, and the devil and his demons and some people even in religion will say it is not for us today. If not now, then when. There is no sickness in heaven. It will be perfect peace and joy there. We need to cry out to God. It is your promise to us, and we need it now. In the case of Israel, it was theirs for the taking. It is ours for the taking also. It is by belief and faith. Today there are those who have a different spirit, the Holy Spirit, and they are seeing miracles done, God’s promises being fulfilled. Oh, but not near enough. Why, God has not changed. What he said he meant. He said if and is recorded in his Word, and he still means it. The one promise that most have taken was that salvation, and it took confession of the mouth and believing in our hearts. Healing and prosperity and joy and peace and love still take our confession and belief and I believe a walk with God because when the mind is renewed, you will see the results in your body. Like salvation, we must speak the word. But oh yes, you must know the Word first to confess it. I would not have the space in this book to tell you all about what the Word says about our believing. In John 20:27–29, there was a man named Thomas. He said, “I will not believe

unless I can put my fingers in the nail holes in his hands and out by hand in his side I will not believe.” Jesus appeared to him, and he did just what he had said. He put his finger into his hand and his hand into his side. Thomas said, “My Lord and My God.” Jesus said something that really stuck with me these sixty-one years I have been saved. Jesus said, “Blessed are they that have never seen yet have believed.”

What More Can I Say—Only Believe the Holy of Holies

In the Outer Court

It was the people of the gospels that were found there in their experience with God. They believed John 3:16. They held the feast of unleavened bread and the over by first accepting the call of God then the over for their salvation and all that went with this experience.

In the Holy Place

It was and is the people of the book of Acts who saw the need not only for salvation but also a need for the baptism in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:1–4).

In the Holy of Holies

We will see the bride the people for his name. When we get to the holy of holies, we begin to find life. Before this it was somewhat a struggle to walk and believe. But when we did, we began to find life. In here you know the Father, the third part of the Trinity. In the outer court we found the union with the son of God, the first part of the Trinity, and in the holy place we found the union with the Holy Ghost, the second part of the Trinity. And now in the holy of holies we found the union of the Father, the third part of the Trinity. God the Father, God the Holy Ghost, God the on. God said, “I am that I am.” Jesus said, “I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life.” Jesus said I am the way. The Holy Ghost says I am the truth. The Father says I am the life. Have you found that life yet? O Father let them see as they read this book. John 14:7, Jesus said, “If you have known me, you should have known my father also. And from henceforth ye know him and have seen him.” I hear and see the Father when I read and hear the word of God. When in the natural, a man and a woman get married, then woman or the wifeto-be takes the name of her husband-to-be. It is no different when it comes to the bride-to-be of the Lord. Acts 15:14 tells us that Simeon hath declared, “How God at the first, did visit the Gentiles to take out of them a people for his name.” This did not say all the Gentiles. It did say take out of the Gentiles a people for his name. Paul in 2 Corinthians 11:2 said that he had espoused the church to one husband, espoused in the Jewish belief or culture was the same as being married. He said she was to be a chaste virgin (chaste means holy or righteous). This was the way he was to present the bride to Christ. It has not changed today. The bride of Christ is to be holy, righteous. Ephesians 5:25 says the true church, the bride, is to make herself ready. She is to be sanctified and cleansed by the washing of the water by the word.

Example: A People of His Name

I believe, from the scriptures, the name we are to take is the Word of God. I began to ask, what is your name Lord? Is it Jehovah, is it Yahweh, is it Messiah, is it Jesus? He seemed to say no in my spirit. I said, then what is your name? He told me to read John 1:1, “In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God.” (I saw then his name was the Word.) I said, “Show me another scripture, Lord.” He seemed to say to me, read Revelation 19:13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood and his name is called the word of God. I knew I would have to take at least the New Testament word of God and believe it and walk in it if I was to be his bride. I then saw his name was all these names: Jehovah, Messiah, Yahweh, Immanuel, and Jesus. When I saw this in Revelation 19:13 his name was the Word of God, I said, “Lord, why have you revealed this to me? It says no man will know your name but you yourself.” Revelation 19:12, “No man knows my name.” He said no natural man knows his name, but his bride does because she has his spirit. I knew from this I would have to take the Word of God and believe and walk in it as he revealed himself to me. In the gospels he says, “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’ and do nothing I say to you.” I knew I could not call him Lord unless I was willing to listen to and do what he tells me in this Word. This is his true church, of all the pearls in the Gospels. Matthew 13:45–46, “When he found the pearl of great price, he went and gave all he had and bought that pearl.” God gave all on the cross to buy his pearl, his true church (his bride).

The Holy of Holies

The Outer Court

We find people of thanksgiving. I found here in this outer court. The people we saw here were the baby believers, and they are always asking God for things and thanking him when he blesses them.

In the Holy Place

We saw the baby that had become the son of God in the holy place and now, by and through the Holy Ghost, had become a believer of praise. Matthew 21:16, out of the mouth of babies and sucklings thou as perfected praise. He tells us in the Word he knows what we need without asking.

The Holy of Holies: A People of Worship

In the holy of holies is where we become intimate with the Father and we begin to worship God. In here there is no asking for things or seeking things. In here we are knocking on the Father’s heart in worship. The eagle has two wings, and when he spreads them out, he soars up in the heavens. If the eagle has a broken wing or injured wing, he still will try to fly, but he just goes round and round. I believe Christians are like that sometimes. If all we have is praise once in a while. But when we get both hands up in praise and worship, we begin to fly in the heavens in the Spirit.

Worship—the dictionary says it means reverence or devotion, intense love or iration. Matthew 15:8, here Jesus said to draw nigh to him with thy mouth and honoureth him with your lips. “But the heart is far from me if it lacks worship and praise.” John 4:22–23, “The time will come when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; For the Father seek such to worship him.” In John 9:31, John says we know that God heareth not sinners, but if any man be a worshipper of God and doeth his will, it is him he heareth. Listen, I have been in meetings that were supposed to be to honor and exult and praise and worship our Father, the one who gave us life. And the meeting like most meetings was nothing but a ritual a system of set forms and rites and call it worship. The meeting goes on like it is cut from a cookie-cutter Sunday after Sunday. I say this to tell you that we are in the last days, and the churches are falling away from the Word of God as he said they would in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. “But I tell you get away by yourself sometime and just worship your Lord and savior.” He seeks those to do this. It is the bride of God’s son that will worship his Father. We need to love our husband-to-be and God the father and less love to leaders and buildings that cannot save or bless. Only our Lord can do this, so worship him.

The Holy of Holies

The Outer Court

It is in the outer court that we overcome the world. It says in 1 John 5:5, “Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that beliveth that Jesus is the Son of God.” This is positional but not yet experiential. Why? Because we are babies in here.

Just born again.

The Holy Place

In most cases this is a worldly sanctuary, and it is here we come and hear the Word from the fivefold ministry set down in the church. Here we find the Holy Ghost and a body ministry.

The Holy of Holies

Even though we have a positional state of an overcomer (1 John 5:5) in Christ in what he did on the cross. The Bible says we are to be an overcomer in life and in behavior, and we only have to look in Romans 3 to see what man is without Christ. He said there is not a good one, no, not a one, he says, in this chapter that both Jews and Gentiles, they are all under sin. None righteous, none seeketh God. All are unprofitable. Their throat is an open sepulcher. Tongue is used for deceit. Mouth is full of bitterness. The way of peace they know not. There is no fear of God before their eyes. Therefore whatever the law says, it says it unto them that are under the law, and the whole world become guilty before God. This is not a good picture of man, but just look at the world today. When we look at the churches in Revelation 2 and 3, there was only one he was pleased with, the Philadelphia Church of Love. He called her the new Jerusalem. This church kept the word of God even though they had little strength. Jesus’s name is the Word of God, and to deny the Word is to deny him.

We have overcome the world already. Now he has given us the Holy Ghost and his Word to overcome the flesh and the works of it. Romans 12:21 says, “Be not overcome with evil but overcome evil with good.” There are many that preach liberty. This means freedom, but we are not set free to sin. God’s children will be freeborn children, but to be free the law and walk in sin is just another bondage. We have been given the Holy Ghost to overcome the flesh, and we will when we walk in the Spirit. The Spirit is not some mystical thing. Jesus said, “My word is spirit and it is life.” We are overcomers of the flesh when we not only hear the Word of God but become a doer of what we have heard. It has great reward now and great reward when we go to the Father by rapture or by death. Jesus said, “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’ and do nothing?” I say it is because in your heart, you have not become his bride yet. And have not taken his name (which is the Word of God). The Bible says when a man says he is alive when he walks in, sin is dead while he walketh. This is what Paul meant in Philippians 3:11–13 when he said that “I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not that I have already attained either were already perfect.” Now he had just said he was not already perfect, but in verse 15, he said, “Hear therefore, as many as be perfect be thus minded.” Paul knew he was already perfect positionally in Christ, but he also knew he was not in experience. But he was pressing toward that mark, laying aside all sin and pressing toward the mark for the prized of the high calling. (I believe this was and is to be the bride of Christ.) He was putting on the robe of righteousness over the garment of free salvation. When we become doers of the word and not only hearers, the church then will become experientially what Jesus has already done positionally. To be the bride of Christ will require perfection, holiness, righteousness. We have these in Christ, but when we begin to do them, then you are doing what it says in Revelation 19:7–8. The bride, Jesus’s wife, has made herself ready by

putting on the robe of righteousness, recorded in Isaiah 61:10. It is hard to overcome the flesh, and we could not if we did not have the Holy Spirit. The flesh does not want to change. It is put like this in 1 Peter 4:1, Jesus suffered in the flesh when he died on the cross for your sins and my sins, for our salvation and eternal life. He says for us to arm ourselves likewise with the same mind For he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. When we diet, it is the flesh that doesn’t like it. When we quit committing adultery, it is the flesh that doesn’t like it. When we quit committing fornication, it is the flesh that doesn’t like it, and that is with anything that Paul says we as Christians should not be doing any longer. If the flesh is suffering (good), you are ceasing from sin to become his bride. The song goes, “Oh how hard it was to die and all sin crucify, just to lose myself and find it Lord in thee.” Jesus said when we lose ourselves, we will find ourselves (Matthew 10:39).

The Outer Court

Because this outer court is the salvation experience we have when we believe and accept Christ for eternal life, the Bible called us milk believers, because we are babies here.

The Holy Place

We become meat believers in the sanctuary, where milk is taught but where meat teaching begins also (Hebrews 5:11–14).

The Holy of Holies: Strong Meat Believers Here

Paul in Hebrews 5:11–14 put it about as simple as he could so anyone could understand. He said that strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who, by reason of use, have their senses exercised to discern both what is good and what is evil (this is called maturity or perfection), to know right from wrong. We must learn to do this. This can only be done by hearing and doing the Word of God. The baby in the outer court doesn’t hear much about his behavior and doesn’t want to hear much about it. He is carnal and still has his sinful flesh. This is why Paul said, “I have to teach you over and over again, you should be teachers but you are still babies.” With the baby, it is all about him. In the holy of holies is where we find the ark of the covenant. We find the bride here. In all the things I have mentioned in this book, it is to bring or show all believers they have to come of the brideship. It doesn’t come with just John 3:16. This is the start of the race for the prize of the high calling, and a start is not a finish (Philippians 3:14). When we get there we see the mercy seat where the blood was applied for all Israel. The spiritual part of this is the bride of Christ is new Jerusalem, and she loves the children of God. She will do what the Word says. She will pray for a brother or sister when she sees them sin, and God will forgive them because of her prayer. In 1 John 5:16, “If any man see his brother sin, a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death do not pray for this sin.”

Sin against the Spirit

Matthew 12:31, Mark 3:29 called blasphemy cannot be forgiven. I believe blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) is that blasphemy. When a person

says the speaking in tongues is not of God but says it is of the devil (don’t do it).

The Outer Court Experience

In the outer court I liken this study of threes of the corn recorded in Mark 4:26– 28. He said the kingdom of God is like a man planting seeds in the ground. First comes up the blade, then the ear, then the full corn. The blade is like a newborn baby believer. He doesn’t show any corn right away. The man looked at his field often. It is unlikely to see fruit on a new believer. This is why not to judge or condemn the babies.

The Holy Place Experience

This is the worldly sanctuary where the fivefold ministry begins. The Holy Ghost is found here. The corn that was a blade now begins to have an ear growing from it and has many kernels of corn, like what was planted. Fruit is starting to show.

The Holy of Holies: The Full Corn

The corn is no longer a blade here in the holy of holies. It is no longer an ear. It is now full corn and ready for the harvest. The ear is full now of what was planted. A seed should produce its own. He planted corn, he got corn. When Jesus is planted, then he wants his image of himself.

The whole thing in our salvation is not only eternal life but the reproduction of winning souls. The seed that was planted produced others just like was planted. There are things that will stop a cornfield from growing and producing for the man who owns the field. We must avoid anything that is not of God so we can grow. Anybody that has grown corn knows that the corn that survives is corn that is well deep inside the cornfield. A believer will survive better when he is in the sanctuary when the services are going on. When he is connected to a body. The immature believer, when he is alone, it is hard for him to survive. He lacks the other brothers and sisters. When the corn is ready for harvest, the ears bow down for the harvesters. This is a true story about corn. The true bride will bring many to Jesus when they see her love for them. There will be a harvest; it is called the rapture. Will you have any crowns when he comes? There is a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:8). There is a crown of life (James 1:12). A crown of glory (1 Peter 5:8). There is a soul-winning crown (1 Thessalonians 2:19). What do we do with these crowns? We lay them at Jesus’s feet when he comes. Do you have any crowns?

The Outer Court

Those in the outer court by being born again has a birthright (John 3:16 and Ephesians 1:4–5). Each believer has a birthright for blessings. But we can give up our birthright, just like Esau, but he gave his up for a morsel of food, sold his birthright. In Hebrews 12:16, it says that we can give up our birthright blessing for fornication or a profane person. Let’s just say it like it is, disobeying the commandments of God.

The Holy Place

This is the place of blessings (Ephesians 1:13). We are heirs of and t heir of Jesus, the son of God. The anointing is found here.

The Holy of Holies: Those of Inheritance Found Here

In Ephesians, the first chapter, Paul tells us that in the dispensation of the fullness of time, he (Jesus) will gather together in one all things in Christ, of whom we have received an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of his own will. Then he said in whom you trusted, after you heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. In whom after you believed, you were (sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise), which is the earnest down payment of our inheritance. This seal is a promise of the inheritance to come. The Bible is a will. It is called testament. The Word is our will and testament. The inheritance is not a place right now, but it is his promise to us. He says, “Eyes have not seen or ears heard the things I have for my bride, my true church.” In my book I say true church. Why do I say this? Because Jesus said in Matthew 7:22, “Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord we have prohesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils. and in thy name did many wonderful works,’ and then I will profess unto them, ‘I never knew you, depart from me you workers of iniquity. God will know what you done.’” The bride will be a church of holiness and righteousness. Revelation 19:7–8, “Let us be glad and rejoice for the marriage of the lamb is come and his wife has made herself ready. “And to her was granted she should be arrayed in fine linen clean and white; for

the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.”

The Outer Court

In the outer court is first found the baby believer. Babies are found in this outer court (1 Corinthians 3:1–4, Hebrews 5:11–14).

The Holy Place

The sons are found here, Galatians 4:7 and in Isaiah 62:5. We see here the sons marry the Lord. I believe the Holy Ghost that is given in this holy place is the engagement ring. I say that because with a ring, she is sure she is the one and not just going together, like in the outer court.

The Holy of Holies: The Bride Is Found Here

In the outer court we saw the baby believer, and then we saw the baby believer enter into another experience called the holy place, the sanctuary, and he is now a son, after the bar mitzvah. Then we see in Isaiah 62:5, as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee. To marry the Lord now is to take his name, the Word of God. (The Word is his name.) Read please John 1:1 and Revelation 19:13. Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?

The Outer Court

In the outer court we see the justified man here because it pertains to the experience of salvation. The over and John 3:16. Acts 13:39, “And by him all that believe are justified from all things. From which you could not be justified by the law.” Romans 3:24, “Being justified freely by his grace, through the Redemption that is in Christ.”

The Holy Place

Here we see the sanctified man (Romans 15:16). Here Paul says that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles. Ministering the gospel of God that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. It is here the believer is no longer just justified; he is set apart, sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

The Holy of Holies: The Glorified Found Here

In John 17:22, Jesus said, “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given unto them. That they may be one, even as we are one.” When Jesus gives you his glory, he said, “I in them and thou in me.” When this oneness happens to us as believers, then we are one with the son and the comforter and with the Father. That is what was meant when he said, “I in them and you in me, Father.”

This is marriage. When my wife and I were married fifty-six years ago, we both lit a candle together, and then we took the two candles and lit just one. A type of us becoming one after fifty-six years, I believe we meant it. This is what God is saying to his church. Did you really mean it? Have you become one with the Son of God, and have you become one with the Holy Ghost, the comforter? The next step is to become one with the Father. Did you mean it? It calls for separation and sanctification and holiness and righteousness, a chaste virgin. I am espoused to only one husband-to-be and that is Jesus Christ, the Word of God. It is his voice I hear. Anyone not speaking the first word of the New Testament is a stranger to me, and he is a second voice. This is a little story of a man in 1 Kings 13:8–9. There was a king that stretched forth his hand against the man of God. It became withered. The king asked for healing of his hand from the man of God, and he was healed by the man of God. The king said, “Oh come home with me and refresh yourself and I will reward thee.” And the man of God said to the king, “If you were to give me half of your house, I will not eat bread or drink water in this place. “For it was charged me by the Word of the Lord to eat no bread nor drink water or turn again by the same way as you came. There was another man of God as he was on his way came to the man of God and said, “Come and eat with me.” He said, “No, I am not to eat bread or drink water.” He said unto the man of God, “I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spoke to me saying bring him back with thee that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. And because he disobeyed what God had told him, not to eat bread or drink water, that on his way back a lion met him in the way and slew him. Be careful of the second word. This story is the bride is to hear only her husband-to-be’s voice and obey it. Anything else is a second word. Listen, be careful of whose name you take. It is not one of the hundreds of

denominations’ names. His name is the Word of God. I am a Christian, I am the bride of Christ. My husband-to-be is Jesus Christ. I have no religious name. I have only the Word of God—that is his name.

The Outer Court

We found workers working for their salvation. In Ephesians 2:9, the word says, “Not of works lest any man should boast.”

The Holy Place

We found warriors (Ephesians 6:11–12). They have put on the full armor of God to stand against the wiles of the devil, which means his craftiness. He knows he has a short time left.

The Holy of Holies: Worshipers Are Found Here

John 4:23, “But the hour will come and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father seeketh such to worship him.” Philippians 3:3, “For we are the circumcision which worship God in spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” Worship is to show Intense love and iration. Psalm 95:6, “Oh come and let us worship, and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our maker.”

The Outer Court

Here we know Jesus as our savior (Acts 5:31, Jude 25).

The Holy Place

Here we know him as Christ our Lord (Galatians 2:20), as our baptizer in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4) and our soon coming king.

The Holy of Holies

In here we know him as our husband and Lord. The bride is found in here. Those in here love him and obey his commandments. John 14:21, “He that has my commandments and keepeth them. He is that loves me and he will be loved by my Father.” It is hard to explain how much a person loves the Lord. It can be seen, and I have seen it, as the tears stream down the face of his bride as he says, “I love you…I love you…I love you.” In the outer court we find natural light. The baby believer doesn’t have spiritual light yet. In the holy place we find artificial light. This comes from the candle lamp in the holy place and the Holy Spirit in the believer. The holy of holies, in here we find divine light. In here is where the bride

receives manna every day. Revelation knowledge of the scriptures every day. When he speaks to her through the spirit. It says in 1 John 2:26–27, “These things I have written unto you, concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which you received of him abideth in you and you need to that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teacheth you to abide in him.” Jesus has gone back to heaven, and he is coming again, but before he comes, there will be many seducers who will try to seduce you. From God’s first word, the Bible, to their second word, trying to get you to not hear his voice but theirs. Now do you see why the bride needs the baptism in the Holy Ghost? That is the anointing (1 John 2:26–27). In 2 Corinthians 1:21, the apostles knew about this anointing when he said, “Now he established us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God.” He gives his bride wine that maketh glad her heart, and he giveth her oil to make her face to shine, and he gives her bread which strengthens her heart (Psalm 104:15).

The Outer Court: Foolish Virgins with No Oil

I believe that in the outer court is where a person has heard the call to come to the Lord. And he does so and for a while there is light in his life. But his excitement he had at his new birth soon fades away, without him getting oil in his vessel, the Holy Ghost and the Word (Matthew 25:2–3). The foolish in this parable of our Lord’s had only their lamps and what was in them at salvation experience. Isaiah 8:20 says to the law and to the testimony, “If they speak not according to this world, it is because there is no light in them.” If you do not put more than John 3:16 and maybe a few more words of God, your light will soon go out.

Isaiah 60:1–2, Matthew 5:16. “Let your light shine before men.” Ephesians walk as children of light. Other ages: John 8:12, Matthew 5:14.

The Holy Place

These were the wise virgins, but the two were asleep when Jesus came. The wise virgins is the believer after he expected the call and after their born-again experience like the apostles saw they needed more. In the upper room they received the Holy Ghost, the comforter, which was Jesus that is light and is no longer just walking beside them. He is now in them, oil of light, the word of light. Isaiah 8:20, Psalm 104:15, “And oil to make the face to shine.” Psalm 92:10, “I shall be anointed with fresh oil.” Hebrew 1:9, “Thou has loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God even thy God has anointed thee with the oil of Gladness above thy fellows.” This is what the Holy Ghost will do and without it then you light will grow dim and go out.

The Holy of Holies: The Watchman We Find Here

All through the Old Testament the Lord God set watchman on the walls and many other places. They were there to warn the people when the enemy was near, but also when God was speaking. In the New Testament, it is the bride of Christ The watchman on the walls would never sleep.

In Matthew 25 when Jesus was speaking of the five foolish virgins and the five wise virgins, they were both asleep. “But a cry came forth, wake up trim your wicks for the Lord cometh, go you out to meet him.” I believe this was the voice of the bride warning and calling the children. Just like she has always done. In Revelation 22:17 it says, “And the spirit and the bride say come and take the water of life freely” (the Word of God). It is the bride that speaks the Word of God. It is the bride that cares for the children. As we see in Galatians 4:19–31 We see in this chapter the free woman is the new covenant and new Jerusalem. Then in verse 27, Paul says, “For it is written, Rejoice thou barren that bearest not, break forth and cry thou that travailest not; for the desolate hath many more children than she which has a husband.” The church is the espoused bride of Christ, and the true church is bringing forth the new covenant, new Jerusalem, free-born children by promise. Verse 29 says, “But then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even so it is now.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bond woman but the free woman. (In the Spirit, this is the church.) This is why we see in the scriptures of Romans 7:1–4, and the emphasis on the fourth verse, “Wherefore me brethren ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that you or we should be married to another, even to him who raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” (I believe this fruit is souls.) In Isaiah 2:3 it tells us that out of Zion shall go forth law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem, new Jerusalem. The old Jerusalem Israel is in bondage now with her children. The new Jerusalem is the free-born children of Jesus and the true church. Yes, it takes Jesus and his bride to bring forth free-born children. This church is found in Revelation 3:7–13, “A door was set open that no man could shut. It was a church of love. This church had a little strength and kept my word and hast not denied my name.” This church was patient in keeping his Word. All overcomers will be not only saved but be made pillars in the temple of God.

He says, “I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God which is new Jerusalem. Which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and I will write upon my new name.” In Revelation 21:2, “And I John saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” All right, the care and the riches of the world has not blinded her eyes from watching for her beloved. She re before how she was saved the blood of Jesus. She re when she had to leave the outer court and enter the holy place and receive the Holy Ghost, the comforter. She needed this oil as she was going to be a light for her husband-to-be. Because she felt herself not wanting to leave the world, her light from the outer court experience was getting dim. She did not pray as much, did not look for fellowship of other believers. She began to fall back into sin she gave to Jesus on the cross. She had heard about this comforter, this Holy Ghost. She found a holy place where this was delivered by a pastor and she could see this light in him. The bride who was called to be grew and grew. She knows now that she will no longer be comfortless, as she felt in the outer court. Now her eyes are open, and she is no longer a part of the world. Although she has not left it yet, she is in the world. She is now waiting for her love, her first love. She watches and in her she says maybe today will be the day. Mark 13:35–37, she has memorized, “Watch yo therefore: for you know when the master of the house will come. At evening or at midnight, or as the cock crowing, or in the morning, watch lest suddenly he find you sleeping and that’s what I say, I say watch.”

The Outer Court

In many cases, believers in here deliver no one. It is all about them usually.

The Holy Place

Believers in here usually deliver self. They want to be set free. So many times those in the outer court have laid or start to lay a foundation, and they put the roof on God’s house and say, this is all there is, get saved and one day go to heaven. Not so and urgent task awaits her to win others. And those in the holy place Spirit-filled churches, they have the foundation of salvation, and now they have received the Holy Ghost. They say that’s all there is, and they put the roof on God’s house, but God is not done.

The Holy of Holies: The Bride Delivers Others

Unlike the outer court where this believer delivers no one, and the holy place the believer that delivers himself, and both of these experiences a person has to experience. But the bride of Christ will not sit in a church pew Sunday after Sunday. The true church will seek out and deliver others. The true church will bring forth others to the cross to be born again, and after she will bring the born again to water baptism first and then to the baptism in the Holy Ghost as recorded in Acts 2:1–4 and Acts 8:16–17. The city of Samaria then in Acts 17, Saul, before he was Paul, Ananias putting his hands on Saul, and we all know Paul spoke in tongues. In 1 Corinthians 14:18, Paul said, “I speak in tongues more than you all.” Then in Acts 10 and again in Acts 19:1–6. And then Jesus himself said in Mark 11:11–13, “If you ask for the Holy Spirit he would give him to you.” The true bride of Christ will only feed the sheep and never condemn. She will have only freedom for them, not to sin, but freedom from bondage. I believe religious churches are mothers to the children. Any church that

preaches loss of salvation is the mother of bond children. Be the church of new Jerusalem with free-born children. Preach grace and mercy and guide and feed and bring to maturity God’s children. Where are you in relationship to the Lord? Behold the bridegroom cometh. The bride has made herself ready.

Chapter 4

T he Altar of Incense, of Praise and Worship The Second Word Extra Effort

The Altar of Incense

This altar was the smallest item in the holy place, only eighteen inches. And it is the smallest item done in our churches today.

The Anointing

I believe, first and foremost, that you cannot really worship, you cannot praise him and worship him, as they tell us in the Word, without the baptism in the Holy Ghost.

Seven Types of Praise and Worship

The Greek word yadah means “hands raised in praise.”

Psalm 63:4 says, “Thus will I bless thee while I live I will lift up my hands in thy name.” Psalm 134:2 says, “To lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord.” Psalm 14:-2 says, “Let my prayers be set forth before thee as in incense and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” 1 Timothy 2:8 says, “I will therefore that men pray. Everywhere lifting up holy hands.” The Greek word towdah is a sacrifice of thanksgiving, rejoicing in something. That is guaranteed by his word but hasn’t actually taken place yet. Psalms 50:23, “Whosoever offereth up praise glorifieth me. And to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.” The word halal means to shine, to boast, to rave, celebrate to be clamorously foolish. It is not us praisers acting foolish. It is just those around us thinking we are. Someone said I can’t. Can’t I just praise him silently in my heart (I dare you). It would be easier to contain a volcano in a teacup than a heart full of silent praise and prayer. Jesus said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The Greek word shabach. This is like those believers who hide in the back of the church and if they ever clap their hands. It with the fingertip. And dancing never just their toes wiggle. Shabach means to address in a loud tone, triumph glory shout in church (you got to be kidding). Read Psalm 103:2–5. Loud praise will cause Satan to leave. Listen, Satan, you are a big nothing. Jesus stripped you. Why don’t you sit down here and listen to me while I praise Jesus for whipping you.

Psalm 47:1, “Shout unto God with a voice of triumph.” Psalm 35:27 says, “Let them shout for joy, and be glad. Let the Lord be magnified.” The Greek word barak means to “bow down in a type of worship and praise, expecting to receive and answer to the word.” The Greek word zamar means “to touch the strings of instrumental praise.” Please read Psalm 150. The Greek word tehillh. It is in this praise God inhabits. Psalm 22:3, “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praise of Israel.” The singing can be praise but still not be tehillah. Please read 2 Chronicles 20:22. This led me to Ephesians 5:18–19. It says, “Be filled with the spirit speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. There it was spiritual song coming from the spirit.” We call this singing in the spirit (in tongues). If you have never been in a church of three hundred people singing in tongues, it will take your breath away. It is this singing God inhabits. It is this praise singing your enemies will be defeated as Israel’s was.

The altar of incense. This will be about the many ways we can worship and praise God. The second word. This is about the many ways the devil wants to keep you from being that bride of Christ’s church. He will give you the second word like he did Adam and Eve.

The Return of Christ

Signs from the Bible showing us the Lord will be coming soon and for us to get ready. One of the biggest things that has hurt the average believer in his walk with God is the second word. There has to be a first word before there can be a second. The first word of God to Adam and Eve, “Of every tree of the garden you mayest freely eat, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat. In that day when you eat it, you shalt surely die.” The devil gave Eve the second word, and Adam said, “The woman you gave to me, she gave me of the tree. And I did eat.” The cost was they were put out of the garden. Read it all and see what that second word did to them and the world around them. In 2 Kings 13:3–24 there was a man, and this man put his hand toward Jeroboam. The king’s hand withered. He asked the man of God to heal his hand, and he did. The king wanted the man of God not to eat or stay with them and come straight back. On his way back, he heard another say the same thing but got the same answer. He would not stay over at his house, because God told him to come straight back. This man of God lied and said an angel said it would be all right. So the man of God went and stayed overnight, and the next day a lion came out and slew. He died because he heard a second word from what he thought was a prophet, but he lied. He gave this man of God a second word, and he died. Please read the whole chapter (13:4–34). Many today will take the second word over God’s word. It is because many times it is because a baby believer doesn’t know God’s word. Jesus said in John 10:1–5, “My sheep hear my voice.” His voice is the Word. Proverbs 6:2 tells us we are snared by the words of our mouth. Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because thou has rejected knowledge.” How does this happen? It is because we don’t renew our minds and because we think wrong, we believe wrong, we speak wrong, and we act wrong. Luke 1:38, Mary said, “Behold the handmaiden of the Lord. Be it unto me

according to thy word.” (Man, she was a virgin going to have a baby.)

The Second Word

Men have slipped into the church, teaching perverse things and calling it the good news. The second word—here is the good news. Jesus doesn’t heal anymore. Time of miracles is over. We will always be poor. We are supposed to have some fear, Don’t get joyful and dance and clap your hands in church. If you sin, then God wants to roast you and toast you and after that throw you into the lake of fire for all eternity. (Now isn’t that good news.) No, no, no, no, a thousand times no. The God I serve is a good God, and he is love and so will his bride church. You will find her in Revelation 3:7, the Philadelphia Church. Read about and then copy her walk. Isaiah 8:20 tells us to obey the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to God’s word, it is because there is no light in them. Light is the word. We find it in the homes. Dad gives his word to his children as to what he wants them to do. They go to Mom for a second word. My wife would give them the same word I gave them. I am eighty-four years old now, and my sons and my daughters come to me and say, “Dad, we didn’t like it when you gave us work to do, but it sure helped us. We all have a good working job and my foreman says he likes our work. We owe

it to Dad.” The first word is the Word of God. The second word sometimes comes from a man of God, usually an established man of God. Why is that the second is easier to do? David told Saul that God wanted obedience, not sacrifice. Saul had listened to the second word. If the people had listened to the first word instead of Jim Jones, the second word, they would have known the kingdom of God does not come with observation. The kingdom of God is in us (Luke 17:20–21). The second word has stolen in the past, and it will steal in the future for all who will listen. Why do we listen to the second word? The second word is easier to obey. The second word appeals to the flesh and mind more. The second word, people like to hear. The second word brings less persecution. The second word doesn’t require as much in our walk. The first word says sell out to God and become his bride. The second word will bring larger crowds. It doesn’t require much. John 6, Jesus said, “Does my word offend you?” The Christian who keeps God’s word is called a vessel of honor in the Bible. This is called extra effort. You know when we want something real bad, and it seems impossible, then you say, “This will take effort on my part for this to happen.” A growing church usually becomes that from the pastor’s part of extra effort, and

it takes the body of that church to make the extra effort of being there when the doors are open for service. And I want to say right here, it will take the individual to give it more effort to become the bride of Christ. The church that God picked was the Philadelphia Church over the other six. Why? He said to this church, “I have set an open door for you that no one can close. Because you had a little strength and you have not denied my name. You have kept my word.” John1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word has with God, and the Word was God.” Now you can see why Jesus said this to his disciples, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” The whole thing, the Word that is his name. This is why we have to not deny any part of the new covenant, new Jerusalem. The Old Testament was for the wife of God, Israel. And the new covenant or New Testament is for us to keep and not deny. The bride of Christ is new Jerusalem. Revelation 19:13 says, “Jesus was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.” In Revelation we see the bride coming down. John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. The tabernacle of God is with men. Listen, this tells me we go up in the rapture. The bride had to go up in order to come down. It will take the extra effort, but it will be worth it. All right, extra effort examples: A football team becomes a winning team because of extra effort of the whole team. A movie star becomes a movie star because of extra effort (fifteen hours a day). A man of success many times becomes that because of extra effort. And maybe he has obeyed the Ten Commandments, as Joshua said in Joshua 1:8, obey the law (commandments) then shall make thy way prosperous. Then shall thy have good success. There it is; that’s what I take to prosper. Extra effort. A great minister becomes that because of extra effort. I think of Billy Graham, who brought more people to the Lord than anybody. A good husband and father takes extra effort on his part.

A good mother and wife takes extra effort. A good son or daughter takes extra effort. I hear people say “I wish I could be like him.” You can. It might take some extra effort. God is not a candy store Santa Claus. He is not a genie in a bottle that jumps out to meet our every command when we rub the bottle. God may do a lot of these things, but God is not our servant. We are his in many cases.

By Faith

As I speak about extra effort, well, faith is in there somewhere. Saints, it is extra effort, that will get us healing. The Holy Ghost or prosperity. No, no, no, it is God who sees your extra effort, and he blesses by faith. Because he sees the heart. In 1 Samuel 16:7, the Lord said, “Samuel, the Lord looketh on the heart and he blesses what he sees.” Matthew 5:6 says blessed are those who do hunger and thirst. Matthew 7:7 says seek and knock and it shall be opened unto thee (extra effort). Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is rewarder of all who diligently seek him.”

I did the second word and the extra effort because I know it takes all to be this his bride.

Chapter 5

How Much Longer Will We Delay the Change in Our Lives? How Shall We Escape If We Neglect So Great a Salvation Not Reject

How Much Longer Will We Delay the Change in Our Lives

The Word of God says we were chosen because he wanted that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. This eternal life and it began the day he went to the cross for the sins of the world. Eternal life begins for a Christian the minute he makes a decision to expect him. Eternal life began that same hour he did it. But many believers that are only when we die. The Bible says that is not true, and I will try to explain it from scripture. The Bible is a covenant, a testament. It is a will. He left for all he chose before the foundation of the world. But his heirs have not read his will. Why, I know why because there was nothing said about a will for a New Testament. A new covenant like he had with Adam before he fell. He is getting a bride just for that purpose. I not only wanted to reveal the bride to you. I wanted to reveal God to who reads this book. Because in eighty-four years of my life I can say I know him, not about him, but know him. When you get into the holy of holies, and you will, he is then known as Abba Father. A will means inheritance many believers do not believe it is in the Bible it is. I will show you.

We are heirs and t heirs with Jesus. Many believers do not believe, but the Bible does not lie as we shall see. This Bible is proof of him dying. A will is left when someone dies. Jesus died as a testator of a will. This will he left was a New Testament, which means will and covenant. Hebrews 9:15 says, “And for this cause he is a mediator of the New Testament.” What cause Hebrew 14 of this chapter says how Jesus gave his blood. Verse 16 says where a New Testament is there must also of necessity be the death of a testator. For a testament are in force when or after men are dead. It is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Back to Hebrews 7:22, it says it all by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Jesus was made a surety of a better testament. Now it is not God’s fault if you did not read his will he left for you. In Galatians 4:1 it says that the heir, as long as he is a child or baby, different nothing from a servant, though he is Lord of it all. The baby is the problem in the churches today. We have forty-, fifty-, sixty-, and even eighty-year-old babies in the churches. A baby believer is a carnal believer. According to the dictionary, it is a sensual person. It means “pleasing his mind.” His mind is devoted to pleasures. Now Paul the apostle put it this way, in Hebrews 5:11–14. Paul said, a Christian that still needs milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness for he is a baby. He said they should be teachers. But strong meat belongs to those that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Right and wrong. The same thing the dictionary said. The heir then has to grow up, and where you do that is in the holy place. It is the place of the Holy Ghost. It is where the baby becomes a son by the bar. He is now a son. He is no longer with the mother. He is now with his father to teach him, and when you receive the Holy Ghost, he teaches you. In 1 John 2:27 but the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you.

And you need no man to teach: but that same anointing will teach you. Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doeth righteousness is righteous. Verse 8 of John chapter 3 says he that committeth sin is of the devil for the devil sinneth from the beginning. In 3 John 2:2, this is John’s word to you the beloved disciple of Jesus. Beloved I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in heal men as thy soul prospereth.

Becoming of Age

In just about every will, there is a clause that says the son although he inherits everything, he can’t receive it until he becomes of age or grows up. Sometimes he is twenty-one or thirty years of age. The father who raised the son will not let him, the baby child, have such an inheritance until he is ready to handle it. He needs to grow up and become mature and responsible. You just need to see the prodigal son for that and what happened to him. Paul the apostle had to put up with baby believers all the time (1 Corinthians 3:1–5). He said, “I can’t speak to you as spiritual but babies. There is among you envying and strife, and division you walk as men.” This means like you never were saved. I am of Paul. I am an apostle. Sounds like us. Well, I am a Methodist. I’m a Baptist. Are we not carnal? We could say, “I am a brother or sister of the Baptist Church.” But if the believer has not renewed his mind, and you can only do that by reading and studying the Word of God. I know that every believer has heard be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Prove what is that good and perfect will of God is… It is getting mighty hard to tell the church from the world. The divorces in the church are just about as bad as the world.

The Carnal Mind

I have never heard many pastors spend much time on that subject in the Bible. Romans 8:6 says the carnal mind is death (spiritually) and sometimes natural death. This part of my book is how much longer will we delay the change in our lives. I want the best for everyone who reads this book, and I know that can only happen if we are in the world listening to our father as he speaks through his apostles. Romans 8:7 says the carnal mind is enmity in this age. Now brother James in James 4:4, he said it like this: whosever is a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Man, that scared me when I read that at the age of fifteen years old I am still saved, but I am eighty-two years old now, and it still scares me.

We Are Made Up of Body, Soul, and Spirit

Read 1 Thessalonians 2:16–17 then put this scripture next to them. In 2 Thessalonians 5:23, the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, not holy, and I pray God, your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, Verse 4 says faithful is he that calleth you who also will do it. God is willing to do it if we will do our part. Our part is to read the Word and do what it says. Stop being a forty or fifty or sixty-year-old baby still on the milk. I will say God wants us to be perfect.

Take this word perfect. I say this to believers, and they quickly say, oh, we cannot be perfect. I say read Matthew 5:48 and Colossians 1:28 and see what the second word will do to you. When we do right instead of wrong, then this is perfection when we do it (isn’t that simple), and when you receive the Holy Ghost, he will bring you through it. This is why he sent the comforter. You see, when Jesus was with the disciples, they didn’t do things wrong, but he was going to leave then, and he sent the Holy Ghost to them. You say, well, what was the one hundred in the upper room? No, I will not say well because in that same chapter verse 39, “Peter, this is a promise, and it is for you, your children, and as many as the Lord our God shall call.” And that same day, verse 41, there were three thousand, they that gladly received the Word, who were baptized that same day. All these in the book of Acts received the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues. This was the birthday of the church being able to walk in a holy life was the reason God sent the comforter back for. People tell me, “Brother McCoy, I can’t walk the way that God requires us to walk.” That is right, you can’t, but the Holy Ghost can. This is what you need. This did not stop at Acts 2:4. It is recorded in 1 Corinthians 14:2 says, “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but unto God.” Verse 4, Paul said, “I wish that you all spoke in tongues in tongues more than you all, but in church I would rather speak five words with my understanding.” Verse 22 says, “Wherefore tongues are for a sign not to them that believe. But to them that do not believe, he is to keep silence in the church if there is no one to interpret.” Paul says in verse 37, “Let the things I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” Verse 38 says, “If any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant wherefore brethren covet to prophesy and forbid not to speak in tongues.” To be ignorant, as Paul said, is to have a lack of knowledge. Most of the time when a person speaks in an unknown tongue, he is speaking to God. Please read this whole chapter. All of 1 Corinthians 14. Colossians 3:14 says it is love. James 2:22 says it is works of faith. James 3:2 says it is the control of the tongue.

1 John says it is obedience to God’s Word. Colossians 3:14 says it is love. James 2:22 says it is works of faith. James 3:2 says it is the control of the tongue. John 2:5 says it is obedience to God’s Word. This is something we must strive after. Genesis 17:1, God told Abraham, at the age of ninety, to walk before me and be thou perfect. This was before the infilling of the Holy Ghost that we do now have. And we grieve him each day. Matthew 5:48, be ye therefore perfect even as to our father, which is in heaven, is perfect. Colossians 1:28 says preaching and warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom: that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 6:1, let us leave the principles of the doctrines of Christ. Let us go on to perfection. Then he says if God will permit us to. Let’s stop saying we cannot be perfect. If perfection was in Detroit and we remain in Lansing without moving toward Detroit, then you are right; you will never be perfect. Paul in the book of Philippians, the third chapter, knew he was perfect in Christ. But he said, “I have not yet attained this for myself,” but in verse 12, he said, “I lay aside every sin that so easily besets me.” Verse 14, he says, “I press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ.” It is not everyone who starts the race that will get the crown of righteousness, but he that finishes the race. The Word says the eye has not seen, nor has the ear heard of the things that God has prepared for them that really love him.

This brings me to the commandments of God. All my life I have heard people say, “Even pastors say we are not under any commandments of God, but we are under grace.” I would be the first to say that the commandments were never for salvation or eternal life, but we then make void the law through faith. God forbid. He says, “Yea we now establish the law.” The law was broken when Moses came down from the mountain. He threw them and broke them. Man from that time until Jesus has broken the commandments of God, and God sent his son and made it simple for man to have eternal life. Just accept Jesus, the one God sent to die for our sins.

The New Commandments

Jesus gave two: to love God with all your heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind—this is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets (Matthew 22:37–40). These two commandments are nothing more than the Ten Commandments. If you love God, then you will not have other gods, images of god. To love your neighbor, then you will not kill him. You will not commit adultery with your neighbor. You will not commit fornication. You will not covet anything of your neighbor. You will not steal. You will not bear a false witness. The Ten Commandments are in the two. Many, like perfection, say the same about the commandments. Oh, we cannot keep them. We could not for salvation, but we must for life in the kingdom of God, which is now. John 14:21 says, “He that has my commandments and keepeth them it is he that

loveth me. And shall be loved of my father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” In 2 John 6, this is love that we walk after his commandments. In Matthew 5:19, Jesus said, “Whosoever will break one of these least commandments, and shall teach others so he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. And whosoever will do them and keep them and teach them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” In Revelation 22:14–16, the very last book of the Bible, says, “Blessed are they that do his commandments. That they may have right to the three of life and may enter through the gates into the city. “For without our dogs and sorcerers and warmongers and murderers and idolaters. And whosoever loveth and maketh a lie they will not be in the kingdom. I Jesus have sent my angels to testify unto you these things in the churches.” I believe this is the last days, and it says so in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, when Paul said, “Let no man deceive you, by any means, for that day shall not come, expect there come a great falling away and the man of sin be revealed the son of perdition.” Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God’s word, who is God. He will set in the temple that will be built soon in Israel showing himself to be God.

Where Is the Temple Today

It says in 1 Corinthians 3:16–17, “Know ye not that you are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you. If any man defile this temple of God, shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy which temple ye are.”

In 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, “What know you not that your body is the temple of the holy ghost which is in you. Which you have of God. And ye are not your own. For you are bought with a price therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit which are Gods.” Acts 7:48, “Howbeit the most high dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as saith the prophets.” In John 2:19, Jesus speaking said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in three days.” We are his temple, and he is going to raise us up. We are going to put off this terrestrial body and receive the celestial body. Meaning heaven. In 1 Corinthians 15:40, there celestial is one. And the glory of the terrestrial is another. The celestial is a heavenly body. The terrestrial is an earthly body.

I Close This Chapter

In Hebrews 10:38–39 it says now the just shall live by faith (the Word), but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not them who draw back into perdition but to saving the soul. Hebrews 2:30, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, Amen.

Chapter 6

Jesus said, “I tell you these things that when they do happen, you might believe prophesy of the end time.”

The Bride is the Philadelphia Church Revelation 3:7

In this book I have tried to bring out all the things that will get you in the rapture. When it comes, and it will, and I believe soon now, I may not make it. I am eighty-four years old, but if I am gone, I will be back because Revelation 17:14, “these shall make war with the lamb and the lamb shall overcome them: for he is lord of lords and king of kings and they that are with me are called chosen and faithful.” Called, just saved, no one can come unless he is called. Chosen have received the Holy Ghost. Faithful to be like the Philadelphia. I have always had strength and have not denied his name. His name is the Word of God. I hope this book will help you all who read it to sound like Paul. I know that I will put off this tabernacle. I hope that everyone that reads this book will as John said it. That above all things, you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospereth—third epistle of John 1:2

Continuation of Daniel’s prophecy. Verse 5 of Daniel 7: “Behold another beast, a second like to a bear, and it raised up on one side, and had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it, and they said rise devour much flesh.” After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard which had on the back of it four wings of a fowl. This beast had also four heads and dominion was given him. After this this I saw in the night vision, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and strong exceedingly: and it had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces. And stamped the residue with the feet of it, and it was diverse from all beast that were before it, and it had ten horns. I considered the horns and behold a little horn, before whom there were there of the first horns plucked up by the roots and beheld in this horn were eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things. I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame and his wheels as burning fire. Thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books were open. I saw in the night vision and beheld one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven and came to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion and glory and a kingdom that all people, nations, and languages should serve him, his dominions as that which shall not be destroyed. Praise the Lord Jesus has come. The ancient of days has come. Now verse 17 of Daniel 7: these great beasts, which are four, are four kings which shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the most high shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever even for ever and ever. This is now the interpretation of the meaning of these horns. In verse 17 of Daniel 7 through 22, until the ancient of days comes. The time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. Now in verse

25 we see the Antichrist says he shall speak great words against the most high and shall wear out the saints of the most high and think to change times and laws, and they shall be given into his hands until a time and times and the dividing of time (three and a half years). We will see that timeline later in this prophecy read the rest of Daniel 7. We have it all, praise be unto God. Come, Lord Jesus. Before I go to the Revelation 13 to show who these nations are, in Daniel’s vison these beasts were separated. This is important because in the book of Revelation, a beast is a nation or a kingdom. These beasts were individual nations in Daniel’s vision.

The Thirteen Chapter of Revelation

And I stood upon the sands of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea. (I believe this is a sea of people.) It may be the ocean, but it had seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Verse 2 of Revelation 13, the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth was as a mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him power and his seat and great authority. And they worshiped the beast saying, who is able to make war with him. There was given to him a mouth speaking great things and power was given to him for to continue forty and two months. This is the Antichrist. Now his mouth blasphemes against God. He makes war with the saints and all that.

The Interpretation

The interpretation of these nations making up the beast and the one world

government and the Antichrist. The first beast was like a lion and had eagle wings on. Its back was plucked from the back of the lion. And it was made to stand on its feet as a man, and a man heart was given it. The second beast I saw was like a bear. He had ribs in his teeth. He was to rise and devour much flesh. The third beast he saw was a leopard, which had upon its back the wings of a fowl. This beast had also four heads, and dominion was given to this beast. The fourth beast I saw here was dreadful and terrible. He had iron teeth, and he was diverse from all the other beast before him, and he had ten horns. Daniel said he considereth the horns, and behold another little horn came up among these ten horns. In this little horn were the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things. in Daniel’s vision, these beasts were separated. This is important because in the book of Revelation, a beast is a nation of a kingdom. These beasts were individual nations in Daniel’s vision.

All Right

What nation represents a lion? Well, it is Great Britain. In the square of Great Britain, there are four big statues of lions to the south, looking to the west, looking to the east, and looking to the north. What nation represents the eagle? Well, it is the United States of America. When the eagle was plucked off the back of Great Britain is when we got our Independence Day, July 4, 1776. What nation represents a bear? Well, it is Russia. He was to rise and devour much flesh. He had ribs in his mouth. Russia communism, a political doctrine based on revolution and killed or devoured much flesh, and they did.

What nation represents a leopard? Well, this is . The leopard had four heads. When a nation has more than one head, it is because this nation has fallen. , in three separate times, had fallen.

fell in the war of 1870—the First Reich fell in World War One—the Second Reich fell in World War Two—the Third Reich will be in the next war—the Fourth Reich

In the twelfth chapter, the first verse, there appeared a great wonder. Her feet and upon her head a crown of twelve stars represent the tribes of Israel, and the Bible says America takes care of her during the tribulation. What nation or kingdom represents the last beast, with the ten horns? This beast represents the revived Roman Empire. The European economic community formed in 1958 by Belgium, by , by West , by Italy, by Luxembourg, and by the Netherlands. Out of the mouth will God’s Word be established. Let’s now look at Revelation 13:1–3, John’s revelation. He said, “I stood upon the sands of the sea and I saw a beast rise out of that of the sea.” Having seven heads and ten horns and the name blasphemy. God told Abraham his people would be as the sand of the sea. This beast will rise out of several nations, many people like the sand of the sea. This is the same vision Daniel saw, but in Daniel’s prophesy, they were individuals, but in John’s vision, they were no longer individual beast or nations. They were all together. Here in John’s vision, they were all together, forming a one-world government of the Antichrist. They have become one.

This beast John saw was for our time right now, and this one-world government of the Antichrist is forming as we speak and has been forming for some time now. If you read all of Daniel’s vision (Daniel 7), the last verses, last part, the war has been fought, and the Antichrist is here.

What Does This All Mean?

It means globalization. This one-world order becomes total power. Revelation 13:2 says the dragon gave him this seven-headed beast, his power and his seat and great authority. Who is the dragon? Revelation 12:9 tells us the dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan.

What Will Happen Next?

The Bible says there will be a World War 3. Some believe we are in the beginning of it. Many believe it started with the towers coming down. This was is recorded in Revelation the ninth chapter. In this war it says one-third of the people on the earth will die at this time. We are talking about four billion people. This will bring in the man of peace, the Antichrist with all the answers, and people will follow him because the people are tired of wars. The United Nations is the only structure on the earth today to bring in a one world order. The devil of Revelation 12:2 and Revelation 13:2, and he is behind it all. In Revelation 13:3, it said that one of the heads was wounded to death, and the deadly wound was healed. This was when ’s wall went up, and people

said is dead. She will never rise again.

The Devil’s Head Wounded unto Death

After World War Two, everybody began to say, you know was always starting wars. There was one started by in 1870 where 8.2 million people were killed. Then started World War Two, and 52 million was killed in this war. After her defeat, was split in half. But Russia got the biggest part because of a man called Alger Hiss, who was a spy for Russia. He was a traitor and went to prison for some time. Russia got East , and America, in what was called the NATO pack, got West . The Berlin Wall went up, separating East from West . When this wall went up, the papers and the news headlines read “ is dead, she will never rise again.” But many magazines and papers spoke of the knife that wounded the head of to death. Then no one liked this Berlin Wall. The papers and magazines began to read, “The division that testers like a rusty knife the wound must someday be healed.” When the Berlin Wall came down on November 9, 1989, the papers and magazines rang out everywhere. The head that was wounded unto death is now healed. The twenty-nine-mile wound in East that was done by mortar because of the west and east differences, the dividing of split in the middle was the wound unto death. But when the wall came down, the deadly wound was healed. When President Reagan told Russia “tear down that wall,” and they did, all the papers’ headlines read, “The head that festered by the wounding has healed.” (So the deadly wound was healed.)

Just after this, just a few weeks, the pope and the former president Bush Sr. and Gorby, the Russian leader, all signed the rise up out of this ten nations, the old revived Roman empire. This is happening as we speak. Just watch the news. The new world order is the Antichrist forming now. This is why there are so many in the United States who want a socialistic government. They tried this in our 2020 election. I believe these final seven years will begin. When the peace treaty is signed between Palestine and Israel. Will it be this year? What will happen, and what should we look for? We do know the beast is rising out of the sea of Revelation 13 as we speak. It is this one-world government of world globalization that we hear and see in the papers and on television almost every day.

God’s Seven-Year Table

(1) Palestinian Israel peace agreement Begins the first three and a half years Confirmation of the Covenant Israel’s right to exist (2)

The Antichrist will appear with all the answers. He will be a man of peace. Because of all the wars, people will accept him right away. What is going on in our government today? Socialistic government. In this peace treaty, Israel and the Palestine will share the temple mount. Israel will build her temple just after the peace treaty is signed. The temple mound will be under the United Nations to keep peace. When the temple is built, the Antichrist will reveal himself. He will stand in the temple saying he is God. The Messiah. It is called the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place. He will demand that all take the mark of the beast (Antichrist) in order to buy or sell socialistic government. At this time, God’s two witnesses will rise to preach all during the great tribulation. Jesus said, “I tell you these things before they come to so when they do, you might believe.”

The Outer Court

In this book I have tried to reveal the baby believer, In this book I revealed who the bride will be in the holy place. In this book I tried to reveal the last days we are in. Please find a good Spirit-filled church. What shall be the sign of the Lord’s coming and the end of the age (world) and the end time prophesy.

The Last Seven Years

Behold the Lord is coming. The signs of the times indicate this to anyone who is looking for him to return, Jesus Christ. Have you heard lately people speaking about the new world order, or globalization, The one world bank, the one world criminal court. This one-world government is in your Bible. It was prophesied in the book of Daniel chapter 7 and in Revelation chapter 13. This one-world government of globalization is the government of the Antichrist. This was first seen by me on the back of our dollar bill, below the eye of the pyramid. (You will see the words written in Latin.) On the ribbon we read Novus meaning “new”; Ordo, meaning “order”; Seclorum, meaning “world.” New world order right on the American dollar.

New World Order

This was put on the back of the dollar after World War Two 1935 by our president Roosevelt. He was the driving force behind the United Nations. He was planning ahead t 1945, when the United Nations was born. This one world order, or beast, or kingdom, is first seen in Daniel’s prophecy. Yes, in your Bible, Daniel 7:1–9.

In the Vision of Daniel

This beast came up out of the sea. Beast in the Bible is translated “nations,” or kingdoms. Daniels 7:3, “In my vision by night, I saw four great beast come up from the sea. They were diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked and it was lifted up from the earth and made stand upon the feet of a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.”
