Most Christians are strangers to the promises of God. God didn’t plan it to be that way; His children are to claim all the promises given to the new man. Ephesians 4:24, And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

The true promises of God belong to the children of God through love. All His promises to His people have been given through heavenly divine love, none through human love. Love is a gift; it can’t be bought or merited; it is freely given. Faith, too, is a gift freely given. Love and faith together bring you into the promises, the greatness of God.

In John 10:9: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Jesus Christ, the second Adam, became the door to all the wonderful promises of God for us. Man was created not with promises; man was created in the reality of God; no promises were necessary. It wasn’t necessary for God to make promises to Adam and Eve because everything was served to them, everything was available to them. He never intended for the man and woman whom He created to live by promise.

However, Adam and Eve sinned and were driven from the Garden of Eden. Shut out with no promise to ever get back into Eden, they lost everything. When you were in sin, when I was in sin, we had the promise that we could get in to God. Although outside spiritual Eden, we were not without hope. We who were taught about the Lord knew that we could have salvation. We knew that Jesus, the Promised Seed, had come for us; and we knew He was our promised Lord and Savior, our door into Eden.

We didn’t live in the first Eden, but we will live in the second. In fact, we are already in the spiritual Eden because all the spiritual benefits of Eden have become ours through Jesus Christ. All that the spiritual man needs to make him happy is in this spiritual Eden. He is fully equipped for his needs to be supplied; there is no lack. It is all on the table; it’s all within reach. The Master calleth, Come and dine (John 21:12).

Love is the door into all God’s promises, and without His love none of them belong to you except His promises of judgment. You do not qualify for any of God’s good promises without His love in your heart. God’s love and faith are the only way for you to have the fulfillment of His promises.

When Jesus came, He opened the door back into Eden, the door into a personal relationship with your God. Many thousands of years it had been closed. It would take divinity to make the door into Eden that man had destroyed. That door was always to have stayed wide open. Today the door of salvation is wide open, and it stays open night and day.

In God’s love promise of salvation we have the invitation: Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me (Mark 8:34). But the day is coming when that invitation will cease, when the gate into spiritual Eden will close for all eternity to never open again. How sad for people to be standing outside denied. Oh, what an awful picture, standing outside!

Through God’s love, move into His promises. We had put very little value on God’s promises until we reached out for the first promise, the most valuable one: salvation. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (II Corinthians 5:17). To be created in His likeness, we had to be made brand new.

The world church has continued in the same fig-leaf religion that was started by Adam and Eve through the spirit of disobedience, the spirit of failure. People who are in the spirit of fig-leaf religion are in disobedience, failure, on their way to being totally destroyed. Not receiving the blessings of God, they are not living in the promises, but outside of them.

Love Brings You In

Simply to know the promises of God doesn’t mean you automatically give the Lord freedom to fulfill those promises. You must live inside the promises. You will never see the fulfillment of any of the promises of God without going inside that promise. For instance, you couldn’t see the fulfillment of His promise of salvation until you went through the door, Jesus. You took the salvation promise into your heart, and the Lord was able to fulfill the promise; He could not save you outside the promise. There isn’t enough power in Heaven or on Earth to save anyone who is outside God’s promise, but inside His promise there is salvation for whosoever will; no one is left out. All can come while the door is open, while the Lord is still calling; but you can wait too late.

It’s impossible to get through the door into that great promise of salvation without accepting the love of God. Love brings you in; love lifts you, Child of God. You were sinking deep in sin, sinking to rise no more, but love lifted you. You found yourself in the promise of His love, His grace, His faith.

Faith Is a Promise of God

God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). You see how generous the Lord is. He gave His Only Begotten Son and furnished the faith you need to reap all the benefits of that Son’s coming to Earth.

You can’t buy faith; you have to accept it as one of the promises of God. Faith cometh by hearing…the word [or the promises] of God (Romans 10:17). Faith cometh by hearing God’s promises, and love cometh by hearing His promises, as well.

God’s Promises Are Conditional

Every promise of God is conditional, even the promise of salvation. There is no unconditional salvation. Jesus said, He that endureth to the end shall be saved (Matthew 10:22). You must abide in His promises, let them endure in you all the way to glory. To live outside His promise of salvation is living in sin. Unless you accept the promises of God, you live outside His faith, His mercy, His tender gentleness and kindness; you live outside the fruits of the Spirit, the power of the Holy Ghost, the greatness of God, and outside Heaven for all eternity.

Neglecting to accept God’s promises of redemption, of being created new, means there is no Heaven for you.

The first Adam was made head of the human race in the beginning, but that head was destroyed by sin. Now the second Adam has become the head of Christianity, the Gospel, the Church, head of the human race that God has great plans for, the Bride of Christ that God will have in eternity with Him. Won’t that be glorious! God has mighty plans for His children.

Made Nigh through the Blood

God has made it possible for you to receive everything you need from Heaven; you can call Heaven anytime. But what price was paid to make those calls through the divine blood of Jesus! In Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13). You have been made nigh, the Bible tells us, through the blood.

Sinless blood was promised: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son (Isaiah 7:14). The prophet Isaiah gave this message. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). His name shall be called JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).

Jesus, telling the Jews He was the Good Shepherd, said, And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring (John 10:16). Other sheep—the Gentiles—Jesus would rescue. He would bring in all peoples; Eden never was to have been just for one or two human beings; it was to have been for everyone.

I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). I will never leave you; I will always be with you, Jesus told His disciples; and that’s our promise, too. As the disciples moved into that promise, they lost sight of their physical lives and gloried in Christ living in them. They understood now why Jesus had to give His life to defeat death, hell and the grave.

After the Resurrection, the disciples listened to Jesus closely. Imagine how they felt when they looked at His scarred hands knowing that death had no power over Him. They touched His glorified body, and realized that except for the scars, their bodies would be like His one day. Jesus was nailed to the cross for me and for you; and He will carry those scars of sacrifice for all eternity, a trillion years and more. Those scars will never be erased.

Speak the Love Language

Anyone whose soul has been re-created in the holiness and righteousness of God has the Adamic nature no more. When the Adamic nature tainted by sin is replaced by the divine nature through blood salvation, you can live holy, can speak the love language. But if you carry the Adamic nature, you have not been born new, and you will not use the love language. Oh, you’ll try, you may think you’re using it, but you’re not. You must be able to speak the love language more fluently than you speak any other language.

You can dine daily with the Lord, or you can dine daily on your own opinions and with people who are critical, people who do not speak the love language. The less you can be around people who will not speak the love language, the better off you are. The love language is the only language you can speak in which God will hear every word. He turns a deaf ear to anything not of love because when love isn’t there, faith isn’t there. Anything not of love on that tongue creates static, turns your voice off in Heaven. Words without love are just a noise to God, and He doesn’t take up time listening to a noise. The Lord has given you the love language to use; it is your heritage through Jesus Christ.

Once saved, you don’t have to sin—unless you choose to. The doctrine that claims you can’t live free from sin is a lie of the devil. Claim the promise of being redeemed from all sin so that sin no longer hath dominion over you. For sin shall not have dominion over you (Romans 6:14). Live in the promise: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36). You have to live inside these promises. You can’t look at them from afar off or even close by; you have to move in. You can’t grow into grace. You grow after you get in grace; grace is a promise. Some people say that you grow into grace; in other words, you gradually come into salvation. No, not at all. You come all at once through the door, the promise of salvation, Jesus Christ. I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).

There is no promise for you from God that is not through truth; truth is all He speaks. Because every promise God has ever given has been Heaven’s truth, we can embrace what He says. If we all speak the love language, we can join with each child of God in the body of Christ. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another (John 13:35). By your love the world will know you’re really a part of the second Adam, Jesus, that you’re living in His promises: You will have love one for another. These promises are real; the blood is real.

God Promises Deliverance

Without the blood, there is no forgiveness for sins; but through the blood, sins are washed away. Jesus, in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14).

Move inside this promise: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9). God’s promise is the promise of truth, the promise of total deliverance. When you live inside that promise, the fulfillment is yours daily. His promises will never dim; they will always have full benefits for you. Through the blood, you will always have power to live free from sin. If you confess your sins and ask Jesus into your heart, He will cleanse you through divine blood.

Move into the promise of your soul being sealed by the Holy Spirit. The holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30). What does the Holy Spirit use, what is the seal? The blood, the divine blood that Jesus spilled on Mount Calvary is the seal, nothing less. Nothing else but divine blood can seal your soul; and as long as you live in the blood, that seal cannot be broken. All the devils on planet Earth, under the earth, and Lucifer himself could come against just you, and could not break that seal. Isn’t that wonderful!

Without claiming God’s promises, you can’t live in His love; and you can’t have His love without accepting His promise of salvation. If you don’t live free from sin, you lose that promise. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:26). When you willfully sin, you step outside salvation’s promise; there is no longer a sacrifice for you. Christ is no longer your High Priest, your Sacrificial Lamb.

If you know something is a sin but you just don’t care, you go ahead and commit it anyway, it’s willful sin. The sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross no longer covers you. You’ve gone outside the promise of redemption, the promise of salvation, the promise of the blood. Without the seal of blood, you’re no longer on your way to Heaven, no longer inside the Ark, Jesus Christ.

Saved by Grace through Faith

There was a time that Noah and his family were outside the ark. Even after working 120 years, they still had to go inside the promised safety of the ark to save their lives. Civilization was promised a Redeemer, an Ark of safety, Jesus Christ. The promise came, but to be saved everyone must go inside the Ark. For there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 3:11). People can go to church all their lives and still be outside the Ark. If you have no joy in serving the Lord, you’re not inside the Ark.

No matter how much you work in the name of the Lord, you are not saved by works. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8,9). By grace are ye saved—that means by the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood of Jesus! Through the blood flows all the grace, all the favor of God; through the blood comes the cleansing from sin that makes us like Jesus.

Noah had what he needed for the physical, but he didn’t have everything for the spiritual. Noah didn’t have what we have today, but he and his family had to have been gifted with the spiritual senses to have done all they did.

Noah found grace, the Bible tells us. Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD (Genesis 6:8). Look what grace did before Calvary. For 120 years what patience grace rendered! What love and faith God put into man. God didn’t know whether or not Noah would finish the ark. God had to trust him. God had trusted Adam, and Adam had failed; now God put trust in a man outside Eden.

The grace of God has the unbelievable in it. There’s no need to try to analyze the grace of God; it’s impossible to do. It will take all eternity to study the grace of God, and then we won’t know it all. But Noah had that grace, and in that grace he had the six spiritual senses.

Noah, no doubt, was the first one to have the six spiritual senses after man was driven from the Garden. Adam and Eve lost all the divine senses for mankind; they were all gone. Man inherited the Adamic nature, the sinful nature, instead of the senses that God had planned. When Adam sold out to the devil, he gave up the divine blood and took on the nature of the devil, the Adamic nature, that sinful, sinful nature. Mankind has been bound by that sinful nature ever since.

We were born outside the Ark, born needing a Savior. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Because of sin that Adam and Eve introducd into the world, everyone needs a Savior. Some people live a fine moral life and think that’s all they need. Often it is harder for those people to seek salvation than it is for people who have been in deep sin. No matter how good a person is, if he has not been born again he has committed the worst sin ever: trampling the blood of Jesus underfoot day after day. The most precious gift ever given is the blood of the Son of God. Jesus, who knew no sin, gave His life so that you could have life through His blood. To trample that blood underfoot, I say again, is the worst of sins.

The Glory Belongs to God

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you (John 14:27). Jesus promised peace to the disciples, but they had to accept it, had to use it and live inside the promises the Lord had given them. The disciples did not learn to live inside the promises in any great way until after the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Paul realized that, and he wrote, That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings (Philippians 3:10). Paul sought to know Jesus in every way, even in His sufferings.

God gave me the revelation that because His people were living outside His promises more than inside, He could not move for them the way He wanted. This failure has put Him at a great disadvantage, robbed Him of much glory. But in this last and final hour, the Bride of Christ is on Earth giving all the glory to God.

Daily the Bride will bring wonderful glory to the name of Jesus in her final walk. She will win victories, victories, victories, and know no defeat, depression or confusion. There will be no worry because within she knows her Ark is sufficient. The grace of the Ark is hers. The favor, the love, the peace, the joy of Heaven is hers; and the wisdom and knowledge of God belong to her. She is not serving from the outside; from the inside she is serving to others the wonderful benefits of the Ark loaded with God’s greatness for a lost and dying world. Everything that people need is in the Ark of Jesus Christ, our Ark.

Miracle Meal Barrels

For 120 years the Lord waited for Noah and his family to finish the ark, and now the Lord is patiently waiting for us to finish our work. He’s waiting for us to get the harvest in, Children, before He can rapture the Church. We must get it in!

Think how God felt when the ark was all built, and how He filled the ark with His ultimate anointings. Noah couldn’t have put enough food into the meal barrels for his family and all the animals; the ark couldn’t have held it all. How did they all survive? The Bible makes clear how God deals with miracle meal barrels. For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah (I Kings 17:14,16). As the meal barrel was miraculously filled in Elijah’s day, the food in the miracle barrels on Noah’s ark kept increasing. The more they used, the more was there. When the time came that the Noah family could leave the ark and refill the meal barrels themselves, the barrels didn’t need to be filled by God any more.

On the ark, the Lord had all kinds of miracle barrels for both people and animals. What man couldn’t do, God did for him; and whatever God does is miraculous. His works are miraculous, His ways are miraculous. What you can’t do for yourself, the Lord takes over through promise when you live inside His promises.

That which you can do for yourself, do. Don’t ask God to help you across the river if there’s a bridge. The Bible tells you much about God, giving you His knowledge and understanding. But people think because God didn’t tell them everything, spell it all out and mark it, that it didn’t happen.

Are you living inside the promises of God or outside? The Lord wants to know. Where are you? Adam…Where art thou (Genesis 3:9)? The Lord asked Elijah, What doest thou here, Elijah (I Kings 19:9)? Elijah had been abiding in the promises of God, then fear took him over when he was confronted by Jezebel’s threats. Jezebel was a terror, but she wasn’t worse than the devil, and Elijah had been overcoming the devil all that time. Jezebel was the one who had brought idol worship among God’s people; she was the root of the trouble. Elijah ran. Why? Because he had stepped out of the promise of God. God had promised to take care of him, and God had proven Himself. God had sent birds to feed him in the wilderness; he’d seen the widow’s meal barrel filled—like the one on the ark—but when he heard Jezebel’s vow to kill him, fear cast a dark cloud over the promises.

Only Death Outside the Ark

The Israelites had no way across the Red Sea; there was no boat to take them over and they couldn’t swim it. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left (Exodus 14:21,22). The Lord is ready to do anything for us that we can’t do.

My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Move inside this promise: My God shall supply. God won’t force you to live in His promises; that’s a decision He leaves up to you.

You have no promise of life through the first Adam whatsoever, only a promise of death. Adam sold all life. He sold all the love, all the peace, all the full assurance, all his relationship with God. Adam sold it all to the devil. He sold love for hate; he sold peace for confusion, strife and envy. People today are doing the same thing. They could have the love, the peace and the joy of God, but they take the bitterness of the world, all that is outside our Ark, Jesus. There’s no protection outside the Ark, only death.

For everyone outside Noah’s ark it was death, and for everyone outside the Ark Jesus today the mark of death is upon them. If you’re not inside the Ark, if you’re not living holy, you have the mark of eternal death on you. Your heart could stop beating any time. If you were to die right now, you would be in hell. The rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments (Luke 16:22,23). The rich man had the mark of eternal death upon him, eternal damnation. But because of Jesus you needn’t accept that mark of eternal death.

You can master your destiny by choosing to move into the promise of redemption and salvation, the promise of Heaven, the promise of eternal life. If you believe Jesus and take Him into your heart, you become a son or daughter of God. Eternal life, what a promise that is!

Standing Outside the Promises Limits God

Without salvation we are sons and daughters of Adam, and his sin nature dwells in us. But Jesus came to make us sons or daughters of God, created in holiness and righteousness. To be a son or daughter of God, you must move into His promises; and to remain a son and daughter of His, you must live in His promises, some of them all the time. Some promises you can let slide and still keep your salvation, but you’ll come up lacking, cause yourself a lot of trouble struggling to carry unnecessary burdens. It’s when you claim all the promises that everything works for your good. All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).

If you don’t take all the promises, live in all the promises, everything can’t work for your good. The Lord does the best He can, but your neglect, remember, limits Him. Inside the promises of God, you move into His love, His faith, His grace, His greatness, His power, His great compassion.

In the mighty promise of the Gospel light, there is no darkness. On the darkest night you have plenty of light available; the Lord proved this for the Israelites in Egyptian bondage. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings (Exodus 10:22,23). They had light; the Egyptians had darkness.

As children of promise, we receive the promise of a Savior, a Redeemer; we glory in the promised Light that shineth and will always shine. That’s the promise, but we have to live in that promise.

The people which sat in darkness saw great light (Matthew 4:16). Many saw the light of the Gospel but wouldn’t come to it, wouldn’t use it; and so they couldn’t find their paths, they couldn’t be directed. It isn’t enough to see the promises of God, you must move into each promise. Today is moving day, and we’ve got to move fast. The day is far spent, Children, and the awful night of tribulation is drawing closer and closer. The night cometh. But before destruction comes, the Lord has opened His arms wide to you, wider than to any other peoples because you live in the last days. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28).

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). The Lord promised that you could use the blood to trample devils underfoot. He promised you as a child of God that you could use that blood and have power over all the power of the enemy.

Jesus is the head of the second Adam race, people who have been re-created, born new and made in the image of God like the first Adam. Perfected in grace and in favor, God walked with Jesus just like He walked with the first Adam. God furnished Jesus the same divine joy and peace that you can have, but you have to live by promise to claim it. A promise is made for that which has not yet been given, that which a person can have. A fulfilled promise is one you’ve claimed, one you possess; it’s now living reality.

Many people are not really living in God’s love because they’re not living in His promises. Divine love takes you into the promises of God. The Bride is coming into the promises of God, all of them, saith the Lord. The Bride will live in all the promises.

Sitting in Heavenly Places

These latter days are the greatest days of God’s mercies, the greatest outpouring of His love. By promise, rivers of living waters are flowing from Heaven into your innermost being, your soul; and by promise, from your soul can flow out this greatness of Heaven in all directions to make the sea that the Lord told me about years ago that will cover the whole earth with His greatness for all to see who want to see. And then, the Lord said, the end will come. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38).

We’ve come from springs in the desert into flowing rivers. As these rivers keep flowing, step into all of God’s promises. Live inside God’s promised anointings.

When you move into all the promises of God, you will come up to the stature of Jesus in the same unity with the Spirit that He treasured when He was here on Earth. There will be no difference in your walk. Not imitating Him, you take on His nature, are re-created, made brand new to get away from that Adamic-sin nature. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).

Man cannot save himself. If he could, Adam would have gotten back into Eden. Man fell, and could not get back up. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:4-6). It was Calvary’s love that made it possible for you and me to sit with Him in heavenly places.

Jesus Is Soon Coming

We delight in His love; our faith tells us that Heaven is a real place whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:10). Our faith tells us that the promise of His coming is nigh at hand. Jesus said, When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28). That’s a promise! For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord (I Thessalonians 4:16,17). Caught up to be with the Lord—that’s a promise!

For you who will step into the promise of the blood, Heaven is just a breath away. Jesus is your bridge into glory. He will swallow up death in victory (Isaiah 25:8). Isn’t that wonderful! It’s so easy that some people go to sleep and wake up in Heaven. Instead of waking up in their bed, they wake up in Glory.

The first Adam robbed us of life, the second Adam brought us eternal life. The first Adam robbed us of eternal, physical health, but the second Adam bought back everything, redemption for even the earth. The animals are groaning for redemption. Think what the animals have been through! God will be so happy for the Perfect Age to come. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body (Romans 8:22,23).

One Thousand Years of Perfection

In the Perfect Age we will experience Eden as Jesus Christ walks and talks with us. For the children of God it will be the second Adam’s society. In the thousand years reign of the Perfect Age, we will be brought into all living reality of what the second Adam bought back. The curse will be lifted from the earth: no bugs, no flies, no wars, hate or crime to torment man in this coming Gospel society. Those who will not accept Jesus Christ will have to worship Him, to acknowledge Him on the outside or He won’t send rain on their crops. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain (Zechariah 14:17). Those who refuse to come to Jerusalem to worship the Lord will be the ones to suffer.

There will be no suffering for the children of God in the Perfect Age. We will be in Earth’s Eden; the trees will bear fruit just like they did in the Garden of Eden.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature (II Peter 1:4). To be like the second Adam, we will live in this promise of partaking of His divine nature, His divine blood. You are either a partaker of the divine nature of Jesus, or a partaker of that old Adamic nature. You can’t have the two together, they don’t mix.

It’s marvelous to live in the promise of divinity working for us! We have divinity to help us, to keep us in health, to heal our bodies, to show us the way. We have divinity’s knowledge and wisdom; we have divinity’s know-how and help. In other words, we have Heaven.

Move into the promises; don’t parade around them outside. The storms are fierce, and you need to be inside the protection of the Ark of love and grace. The reason some of you feel unloved and lonely is because you don’t live in the promise of John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. It’s the greatest of promises: God so loved you that He gave Jesus. You’ll never walk alone if you live in that promise.

At the Rapture it will be simple for divinity, for divine blood, for the miraculous power that’s in the gift of miracles to change your body. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:52). By the power of the Holy Ghost, in a moment and a twinkling of an eye, you will receive your glorified body and leave Earth behind. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory (I Corinthians 15:55)? The Lord met death head-on, and took the sting out of death. Praise God forevermore!

Heaven and Earth will pass away; the earth will be melted with fervent heat. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up (II Peter 3:10). Then the new Jerusalem will come down out of Heaven from God to rest upon the new earth. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband (Revelation 21:1,2).

The second Adam came forth with victory, total victory. He came forth with these great promises: I conquered death, hell and the grave for you. That which you’ve dreaded, you no longer have to fear. I am life, I am eternal life, and you will live as the eternal ages roll and never die. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away (Revelation 21:4). You will never shed another tear, you will never have another unhappy moment.

Living in these promises, you know it doesn’t matter what you’re facing; you have found God’s promises to be true. When you live inside the promise, you live inside the anointings. God’s ultimate anointings kill out all the doubt, fear, despair, and frustration you may have had about each promise. You live in the promise; you know the strength of that promise because you have the ultimate anointings working in you. You’re able to weigh the strength of God, and you find His strength is sufficient, His grace is sufficient for you. It’s marvelous indeed! The Lord gave me these things, and I moved into the promises of God.

When God speaks, hide His words always in your heart. His words are more sure than the ground you walk on, more sure than anything else in the world. Years ago I was close to death. The Lord had promised months, maybe a year earlier that He would heal me, but then the time passed by and the prophecy faded. In my suffering, I forgot that prophecy. It’s amazing to me, as I look back on it, how I could have ever lost such a promise. I did move into it the night it came; I was jubilant that night, but suffering caused me to move out.

If I had just stayed in the promise…It shouldn’t have mattered whether I understood it or not; faith and love should have kept me there, faith in what God had said. God had spoken; He declared He would heal me. That meant I couldn’t die no matter how much I suffered. But my body kept going down; I couldn’t stop it. I went right to death’s door, to the edge of the grave. I was so close to death that I thought I wouldn’t live more than a few days.

I suffered much because I had moved out of the promise. It felt as though I were in a room with no windows, and I couldn’t find the door. Every way I turned I saw walls, walls, walls; walls of death closing in. But when God closes a door, He opens a window; and God had opened a good south window with all the warmth of His love to comfort and help me. I had it. Why didn’t I live in that promise? Why didn’t I stay there? Why did I just move in for a little bit, a few weeks, a few days, to live in that promise? Why did I treat it like a brief stopover? Why didn’t I count it as a permanent thing?

When God makes a promise, it’s lasting; the devil can’t destroy it. But living outside the promise is the same as not having it. I lived outside that promise, and oh how I suffered! The fear, the darkness—not for my soul; the devil never made me doubt my salvation, and that’s what made it so hard. Had I done something wrong, I could have found a reason for what I was going through, but I couldn’t find one thing wrong—and God didn’t find anything wrong. There was nothing wrong to find. I had walked in His perfect love, and loved Him with all of my heart. I had Him in my heart; I had the promise of His salvation. I was living in the promise of His divine love, His divine faith for my soul. I was living in those promises. I knew Heaven would be mine, but I wanted to live and preach His Gospel, and I wanted to live and be with my wife, Angel. We loved each other so very much; I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her. She had cried and cried, fasted, and prayed all hours of the night. I was in an awful condition, and I couldn’t tell anyone, not even Angel; she was worried enough as it was.

I could have never told my mother that all my faith was gone, the mother who had taught me such deep-seated faith, such deep-rooted love in the Lord Jesus Christ, and had made the Bible live in me when I was a child. Why, it would break Mama’s heart for sure. Mama believed nothing else but that I would be healed, no matter how sick I got; God would heal me. I was her preacher son. God had healed me when I was just a sinner; He would definitely heal me now. Mama never doubted that I would live and continue to preach the Gospel. She believed that with all of her heart—but I didn’t. I had moved out of the promise God had given that He would heal me because I looked not at the promise; I looked at the condition I was in, and my healing didn’t happen right away. When I got worse instead of better, I lost sight of the promise completely. When you lose sight of your promise, move out of your promise, you move into the night, into fear, into darkness.

Then one night Jesus turned on the light; He had come to make me whole. My heart leaped within me! I had been outside the promise, but He loved me so much He threw the door of His arms wide open, took me on into His bosom. When He healed me I saw that He had been with me all the time.

Now I walked into that glorious promise in pure faith. I believed everything He told me. I looked that night and saw a wall that had reached all the way to Heaven come tumbling down. I had been able to see only so far before, and that was all; but now I could see all the way to Heaven; it was so clear. I was going to live; I had no doubt, not one speck of fear. I was going to have the healing ministry. Something so unbelievable yesterday was reality today; Jesus had come. Now the suffering, the despair would be over; now I would live.

Angel didn’t hear the Lord tell me I would have the healing ministry, but that was the first thing she said to me. Her eyes shining—she knew God had healed me—and she said, “You’re going to have the healing ministry, aren’t you?” It shocked me, really shocked me. I said, “Well, yes.” She knew that.

I thought Mama would never think about me having the healing ministry. I wrote her, and a letter came back saying, “I was expecting it all the time.”

Mama lived in the promises. She grabbed me when I was a kid and put me in a promise every time she could. I didn’t stay very long, but they had an effect on me anyway. When you’re grabbing those little rascals of yours, dragging them into the promises for even just a little bit, it can’t all wear off; I’m a living testimony. I know you get tired—Mama must have gotten tired, but thank God she didn’t give up; she kept bringing me into the promises.

The promises are yours if you claim them. They’re yours to look at or they’re yours to live in. What are you going to do about them? Come on in, I say; come on in. It’s an invitation from the Lord.

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24). And if you put on that new man, take on the image of Jesus, His likeness, then you can live like Him, talk like Him, speak like Him, and live unwaveringly in all the promises.

A Message from the Holy Spirit

I am here. I am teaching you to walk; I am teaching you to live in my greatness. You have to be taught these things. This is the greatness of your Lord, and I am teaching you to walk in the very steps of my Only Begotten. He came to teach man and woman how to walk again, and I am here to teach you. And you can only walk with me as you come into my promises and live. You must walk in my promises, you must breathe in my promises, you must work in my promises, you must live and dwell in my promises, saith the Lord. Feel my Spirit, feel my power, feel my love for you. I must become real to you for my greatness to be poured to you as I seek to pour it. Just as you moved into the promise of my salvation, move into all of my promises; they’re all yours to use, but you must come into them. You can’t look at them from the outside and receive the strength and the power from them. I am drawing you as close as you will let me. I am making myself as real to you as you will let me, saith the Lord. Move into my promises; come on in, come on in. They have to become real to you for you to come in. For you to come in to any one of my promises, that promise has to become real. Let me be real to you, let me be real to you, let me be real to you!
