Colossians 3:11, Christ is all: Colossians 2:9,10, For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him. The whole body of the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Ghost—dwells in us when we are born again and filled with the Holy Ghost. With the whole Godhead inside us, we are complete. He lives; He dwells in us. Isn’t that marvelous!

Colossians 2:10, And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. Jesus is the head of all power; He’s over all the powers of darkness as well as the powers of light. He has all power as demonstrated in the book of Revelation when one angel with one chain of blood binds the devil and casts him into the bottomless pit.

Colossians 2:11, You are complete in Christ in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ. Physical circumcision was done under the Law and before the Law, but spiritual circumcision comes through the blood, through the power in the blood of Christ in our hearts. Physical circumcision did not cause men to live holy, but this spiritual circumcision does.

Colossians 2:12, Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. This is God operating with divine faith, the only faith He operates with. Paul is reminding you that God raised Jesus from the dead, and the power that brought Him out of the tomb will bring us out of anything and everything, out of the deadness of sin, the deadness of sickness. Don’t ever forget that Jesus is our resurrected power of greatness.

Colossians 2:13, And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses. To quicken means to enliven, to give life. The Lord gives physical life here on Earth and spiritual life with Him for all eternity. To me this is so marvelous!

The Cross Spells Victory

Colossians 2:14, Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Jesus nailed adversity to His Cross; the Cross spells victory. Every time you think of the Cross of Jesus, think of one word—victory. Jesus is your victory over everything in life. He’s the victory for your mind, body, and soul. He’s your victory for every path you walk, for every decision you need to make—if you look to Him.

Colossians 2:15, And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Jesus spoiled the powers of the enemy, defeated them in other words. What a show of His greatness! He showed victory over death, hell and the grave; nothing could hold Him. He showed power over all demon spirits. Legion, possessed by thousands of devils, came against Him: And all the devils [in Legion] besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea (Mark 5:12,13). Jesus showed His power.

Colossians 2:16,17, Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. We are not to be bound by man’s traditions; we are to follow the Word of God.

Let no man beguile you (Colossians 2:18). Don’t let anyone deceive you; salvation is not in meat and drink. The Bible says, For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer (I Timothy 4:4,5). Sanctify your food.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain (James 1:26). You don’t have true religion if you fail to bridle your tongue.

Complete in the Word

Think again about Colossians 2:10, Ye are complete. Never get away from this verse: you are complete in Jesus. If there is a lack in your life in any way, physically, spiritually or financially, you’re not using all of Christ. He is your sufficiency in everything, or else you are not using Him as you should.

Colossians 4:12, That ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. This fantastic, weighty verse is one you need to carry with you—be perfect and complete. For a long time some of you have settled for only part of the will. You need to come out of this. You have a right to choose not to follow God all the way; but if you make that choice, you take yourself right out of God’s hands. If you told God you wanted His whole will and then changed your mind and did something else, you took the decisions for your life out of the hands of God; and He is not responsible for you.

God is responsible for only what you leave in His hands; and you are responsible for what God leaves in your hands, what God gives you. You can’t make your own choices if you willingly give your choices over for the Lord’s divine will to be done. It is your free choice; you give it.

When Jesus came to Earth in the form of man, He took on free choice as a human being. He could have made His own choices, and the devil knew that. That’s the reason the devil went after Jesus to tempt Him with all the power he had, trying to get Him to bow to him, to sell out to him; but Jesus wouldn’t sell out.

When you’ve given free choice over to the Lord, you come to do His will. Jesus said, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God (Hebrews 10:7). Many of us don’t really mean that we have come to do His divine will completely; we want to do what we want, work where we want, and live where we want. We just want to do things our way.

I want God’s way in my life. I don’t want anything that God doesn’t want me to have; I don’t want to do anything that He doesn’t want me to do. I just want His perfect will. His perfect will is what you, too, must stand for if you stand for all of Jesus.

We are meant to stand just as tall as Jesus stood when He was here as very man as well as very God. 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). That ye may stand perfect and complete (Colossians 4:12). You can be perfect and complete; you can be just like Jesus if you walk in His will.

Don’t become overly anxious; the Lord will reveal His will to you. On the other hand, there is no need to pray if you’re going to make the decisions. Praying with such an attitude is an insult to God. If you’re not going to give Him any authority in the matter, don’t bring it to Him. Don’t act as though you’re putting your decision into God’s hands when you’re not. If you don’t want God’s divine will, then you haven’t put yourself into His hands, haven’t given Him authority to move concerning the matter; so forget about taking it to God; you’ve taken it to yourself.

I take things first to God. I want God to work everything the way He wants. I take the whole ministry to the Lord; I don’t make decisions for self. If we are going to buy something, do something, I get the mind of God before I come to the congregation with the plan. Always seek the perfect and complete will of God—never forget that.

Spiritually Discern the Things of God

Like the prophets of old, Jesus came with power, love, and greatness. He came in the same spirit, the same greatness that had been given to Jeremiah the prophet; He came with tears. Jesus wept (John 11:35).

As children we didn’t think much about those two words, Jesus wept; it was just the shortest verse in the Bible. If the Sunday school teacher asked for a verse of scripture, whichever boy could jump up first said, “Jesus wept.” But we didn’t really think about the weeping Christ.

Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people (Jeremiah 9:1)! Jesus had all of this: His head was the waters Jeremiah spoke of; His heart was filled with waters, rivers of water flowing. What a fountain of tears Jesus shed for people when He walked among men! He was the crying, weeping Christ; and He became our great prophet, great preacher, pastor, and king; thank God He’s our everything!

First Corinthians 2:14, The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Many people have never come out of the natural into the spiritual, and never will. Any time you think that what God has said is foolish in any way, you are not spiritually discerning what He has said. The Lord did not make one foolish statement—not one—and all that He said must be spiritually discerned.

The apostles, as well as Jesus’ other followers, couldn’t understand His parables at first because they didn’t discern them spiritually. Unless you discern His parables spiritually, you will not grasp their full meaning. Preachers are in trouble if they are not spiritually discerning the Word of God, for then they are not preaching from a spiritual standpoint. Looking not through the spiritual eyesight of God but through physical eyesight, some claim part of the Word is foolish and much isn’t for us today. How tragic! Always remember that the Word of God is spiritually discerned; you must live close to God to have the Holy Spirit discern it for you. He is the teacher and He is the discerner.

Isaiah 6:5, Woe is me! for I am undone…mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isaiah did see Him; he said, His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Isaiah wrote down beautiful prophecies concerning our Lord.

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me (Isaiah 6:8). If we see the Lord of Hosts, if we see our King through spiritual eyes in this final hour, we, too, will say, Here am I; send me Lord! Use me Lord! I’ll drop what I am doing; I’ll lay aside this work today; I’ll visit the sick; I’ll help people; I’ll help pray a soul through any time. I’ll do your work, Lord. Bring a soul or a broken heart to me today; I’ll take time to help them; I’ll help them with your love. Use me Lord!

Be at your post of duty; do the little things, and God will call on you to do the big things. You who fail in any way, you are not going to be the soul winner you would have been. There will be souls you will miss whom you could have won.

If you love your children you correct and discipline them. My mother and dad loved me so much that they had a family woodshed as well as a family altar. The combination is amazing in what it will do for one little boy. I am a witness.

Let Jesus Be the Center of Your Life

Have you ever wondered about the wheel in the middle of the wheel that Ezekiel saw in a vision? The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel (Ezekiel 1:16). Jesus is the wheel in the middle of the wheel; Ezekiel saw Jesus. He’s our life, the center of our lives; He is it, our everything, and He’s found in every book of the Bible.

I want to talk to Ezekiel some day; I want to talk to all those prophets of old. Don’t tell me your troubles up there on the banks of Glory; I’ll be talking to the prophets; there are questions I want to ask. It will be wonderful to talk to them. We’ll have a trillion years and more in Glory, so I know I will get around to them all, and that will be wonderful!

First Peter 5:7, Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Memorize this verse. Cast all your burdens, all your cares upon the Lord; He’s your burden bearer, and He cares for you.

The Bible says, The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin (I John 1:7). The blood of Jesus is the only thing that will bring you into the fellowship of the family of God, the only way you can be born new. There is no other way than through the blood.

Without the blood you have no forgiveness for sins; without Calvary there’s no Heaven for you. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It has to be a blood name for salvation, the blood Lamb of God. And yet some preachers say that all religions are going to make it to Heaven, that the blood doesn’t matter. That’s the message of the world church today, not the Jesus church.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 3:11). For Jews and Gentiles alike, Jesus Christ is the only foundation. This message was told to the Jews in the first place: no other name, no other foundation but Jesus.

Accept the Responsibility of Jesus

On the Day of Pentecost, Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Some people think they are supposed to be baptized in the name of Jesus only. No, that’s not true. Jesus told the disciples, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19). The reason Peter told the people to be baptized in the name of Jesus is that they had to recognize Jesus as Savior. Many didn’t recognize that salvation through Him was necessary. If they wanted the gift of the Holy Ghost they had to first repent in the name of Jesus, then to be baptized in the name of Jesus to prove they had really repented; finally, they could go on to receive the wonderful gift of the Holy Ghost baptism.

It’s our responsibility to accept Jesus. He offers Himself, and when you accept Him, you accept full responsibility to wear His shoes, to use the six spiritual senses, to live holy like He lived so the nine fruits of the Spirit can be produced in your life. You take full responsibility for Christ’s command to go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15), full responsibility to have that “go ye.”

The only time the Lord gave all His great love at one time was at Calvary. He had to turn His back on Jesus hanging on the cross because He had no love left. Had He not turned His back at the moment His Son was crying out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me (Matthew 27:46), He would have come down in terrible judgment. The Father couldn’t bear the suffering of His innocent Son. He had come to the end. God had given all to make a Calvary for mankind, and they were rejecting it. To accept such love means taking on the responsibility to serve it just like Jesus served it.

Love Separates

Some people have the wrong concept about serving love; they think they have to serve love to everyone, good or bad. Jesus said to love your enemies, but He didn’t say to live with them, and He didn’t say to adore them. Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord (II Corinthians 6:17).

God serves love in discipline; He serves love in truth and judgments, but He sends some judgments that are not love because the person doesn’t love Him, and God can find nothing in that person to respect. Although it is your responsibility to serve love graciously, that doesn’t mean you don’t stand for what’s right or that you “buddy up” with people when you know they are wrong. But trying to turn people to the kingdom is love.

Jesus said He came to separate families. I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law (Matthew 10:35). The Church in the beginning was separated; they had to separate from mother, father, brothers, sisters, whoever. I have made it a policy in my Christian life that no matter how close kin people are to me, if there is something in their life that hinders the Spirit of God, I’m not obligated to be around them. I’ll love their souls and pray for them—I just don’t love their ways. You are just supposed to love the ways of Jesus—remember this. If your people don’t show the ways of Jesus, you’re not to love their ways, just their souls—and pray for them.

It’s wonderful that we have such love to serve, such love to give. Don’t be downcast when people don’t understand how the love of God operates and what it means to be separated into His love.

I get letters on my television program segment “The Voice of Experience” from people who don’t know how to separate loving a person’s soul while putting a distance between themselves and that person’s evil ways. They think they must keep going into a mess and listening to criticism, but they don’t have to. The Bible tells you, remember, to come out from among them. Do you know what come out means? Get up from there; use the mind the Lord gave you, and go for victory.

Be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you (II Corinthians 6:17). I want to be received daily by the Lord, don’t you? Don’t condemn yourself; move into your place with God; He is waiting to receive you. Give people the truth of God even if it’s your own kin and they don’t like the truth. If they reject God’s truth they won’t be free, but you have given them the truth.

Don’t be afraid to stand up for Jesus in the face of opposition, no matter how close the person or people may be to you. Well, that’s my son, that’s my daughter. Oh, that’s my Mama, that’s my Daddy. I know they’re doing awful but, but, but…

Don’t let those things worry you; be happy. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Carry the burden for sinners to come to Jesus: souls, souls, souls. You’re either in the will of God, or you’re out of it. If you’re in the will of God you act like Jesus.

Jesus hated the Pharisees. He despised their ways; He despised the way of Saul so much that He changed Saul’s name to Paul when he got saved. Jesus said to the Pharisees, Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell (Matthew 23:33)? Jesus even took a whip and ran them out of the temple. And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables (John 2:15). Jesus scattered money all around, turned the birds loose that people were selling for sacrifices. Jesus is a wonder to behold!

Jesus is the divine, perfect will of God for us. When you find yourself in situations that you don’t know how to handle, ask yourself what Jesus would do. Some of you think if you have company in your home who won’t come to church that you should show courtesy and love, and stay home with them. The courtesy and love you should show is to God and His house. Tell your guests: I’m going to church and I don’t know what time I will get back. Look for me when you see me. If that insults them so much they won’t be back, so be it. You’ve gotten rid of company you don’t need.

Jesus Is the Perfect Will of God

We come to church to do the will of God; and Jesus is the perfect will. Look to Jesus for the will of God; study Jesus and you will know what God is like. Find out what He will accept and what He won’t accept. Know how He walks and how He doesn’t walk; know where He walks and where He won’t walk. Know the prayers He listens to and the prayers He won’t listen to. Don’t pray wasted prayers. Some people waste time praying. Pray through the blood, and God will hear; also let all your fasts be through divine blood.

Don’t compare yourself to other people to see if you’re just as good as they are. Ask yourself if you are as crooked as they are or if you are as weak as they are. Don’t compare your actions with the actions of others to decide whether or not you’re in the will of God. They might be in the will of God, and they might not be. They might be doing something God wants them to do but not what He wants you to do. Look to Jesus; He’ll always guide you through the Holy Spirit to be in the perfect will of God.

In the perfect will of God things will not be easy. Some people think if they do everything just right, they’ll be fine. I thought that myself in my teens when I first got saved, for the Lord saved me in such a way that my past was suddenly all gone. I had nothing but Jesus; He was my complete life. In my teens I thought I could live so good that nobody would criticize me. I didn’t know I would get more criticism for living good than I ever got for living bad. Why? Because the devil is full of hate and destruction, always trampling somebody down. The devil doesn’t even love his own devils and demons; he’s cruel to them.

God’s Promises Are Sure

Jesus is our fulfillment of all promises; His promises are just as sure as He is, and His divine blood brings the fulfillment. Through the divine six senses when you claim a promise, see Jesus interceding to the Father, and get prayers answered in the divine will of God. I have a standing order for the Lord to never grant anything I ask for unless it’s His divine will. I don’t want His permissible will, only His divine will. I read in the Bible that God has granted answers to prayer through His permissible will. Israel, for example, wanted a king. God didn’t want them to have a king, but He granted their wish and gave them a king. The kings turned out to be Israel’s greatest downfall. Many of those kings were evil through and through, idol worshipers. No matter how carefully the Lord picked out the best among them, most didn’t last; even Solomon didn’t last.

A promise of God will not come to life for you unless you look at that promise in Jesus. All your promises are in Jesus; all the promises in the New Testament are in Him. When you look at the promise, I am the LORD that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26), you see Jesus. My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me (Philippians 4:13). In all of these verses you see Jesus.

The promise of salvation came from Jesus. You had to see Jesus, for no preacher could have saved you, could have given you peace. No preacher could have washed away your sins. You had to recognize and honor the divine blood of Jesus. He is your blood bank, so to speak, your life bank; He is your everything.

Jesus is your spirit of rejoicing. How sad to go around without that spirit of rejoicing because you are not letting the Lord work through you. The natural man may not feel like rejoicing, but the inner man does. The Bible says, Rejoice evermore (I Thessalonians 5:16). Rejoice all the time, not just when you are happy, but rejoice evermore.

No matter the troubles and trials, that inner peace, that rejoicing spirit of Jesus on the inside will give you strength to go on whether you feel like it or not. Jesus gives divine inner peace; you have that peace if you have Jesus. Never let the enemy make you think you don’t have it. When troubles come, the devil will try to distract you until you won’t sense what’s inside. Sense that inner peace; use it. You won’t use that which you don’t know you have.

Jesus said, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you (John 14:27). The Early Church martyrs didn’t have that outward peace when they were separated from family and friends, burned at the stake, thrown among wild beasts to be devoured. They were disinherited, robbed of all worldly possessions, everything; some lost whole families, but they had that Jesus peace inside that money can’t buy.

Many people think if they had plenty of money they would have peace, but some of the most distressed people in the world are people with money. They are so afraid they’re going to lose their money, afraid somebody else is going to get it, afraid they will die and leave it, that they can’t even enjoy it. If you don’t enjoy Jesus, you will never enjoy anything, for only Jesus is life. He came saying, I am the resurrection, and the life (John 11:25). Without Jesus all is death. If you can’t embrace Jesus as life, you needn’t expect to have peace, joy and happiness.

In the past, people have depended on children for their happiness and security. They worked together and stayed together. When the children married and the grandchildren came along, they had great times together. But it’s a different story today; the family unity is being torn apart in so many cases. People are in sorrow and heartache over their children.

Perilous Times Are Here

In the last days perilous times shall come (II Timothy 3:1). It’s a dreadful hour, these perilous times we live in. Jesus said these days would be like in the days of Noah and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed (Luke 17:26-30).

People try to solve the problems of our society with education, money; they’re looking everywhere but to Jesus. When I was in Washington D.C. some years ago for a revival, I was told that three thousand licensed fortunetellers and readers were in that city, people who get their information from the devil. Many of our congressmen, our lawmakers, will not vote until they go to one of them. I was told this by people who lived right there in Washington and watched it, knew about it.

One of the very popular fortunetellers said she got her gift when a big snake coiled around her neck. I could believe she got her gift like that. In Eden that serpent was there, the same old devil who gave her the information. Think about where she is today…. It’s hard to tell how many of our lawmakers paid good money to get information from her, and then, representing us, went to vote.

Jesus is our dominion over all sin. People claim you can’t live free from sin, you can’t live holy; but if you don’t live free from sin, you won’t get into Heaven. If a preacher, a Sunday school teacher, or anyone else doesn’t live free from all sin, they’ll never see Heaven. Many preachers today do not believe in living free from sin; and if they don’t repent, hell will be their destiny. One sin banned Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, one sin—and they didn’t have a Bible, the written Word to go by. Nobody will get by with sin.

The Bible tells us, Sin shall not have dominion over you (Romans 6:14). Why? Because Jesus is our righteousness, our holiness; He has made us the righteousness of God when we are born again: That we might be made the righteousness of God in him (II Corinthians 5:21). Do you think sin could be made the righteousness of God? The Bible says we have been made the righteousness of God. We—you and me—are made that holy.

Jesus is our transformer. He told us to be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed (Romans 12:2). There is a drastic difference between being conformed and being transformed. If you are transformed, your very nature is changed. Has Jesus changed your nature or do you still have that same Adamic nature, that old nature that wants to sin? If so, then you haven’t been transformed. The Lord transforms people into people with good character who carry the personality of the Spirit and Jesus, that personality of love and grace.

If your personality is not one of righteousness, love and grace, let the Lord transform you; you cannot transform yourself. Jesus is our transformer because He is Lord and Christ; He’s our everything. Don’t give up on yourself. If you have temper fits and blow-ups, you need to be transformed. When an electrical transformer blows up, the lights go out. The Lord transforms you, but if you blow up, His light goes out in you. Can you understand this kind of teaching? You were transformed, but your condition sustained a hit; now you need to change, to come back out of that old Adamic nature. Do you think you can’t help losing your temper? Temper is good if you turn it on the devil and not innocent victims. I have a lot of temper, but I turn it on the devil. Take on the nature of Jesus; in that nature He gave you the wonderful privilege of having the Holy Spirit produce the fruit of self-control in your life.

A man told me one time that people either really hate me or they really love me; there is no halfway between. Do you know why? Because there is no compromise in my life. The Lord is not going to stand you before me on that day and hear you accuse: He didn’t give me all the truth of Jesus. I’m going to be free of everyone’s blood just like Paul said he was; if I tell you the truth and you reject it, your blood is on your own head.

The Lord told that great prophet Ezekiel: Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul (Ezekiel 3:17-19).

Drink from the Jesus Cup

Look into this big cup, the cup that Jesus served, the cup of blood. It’s the biggest cup in the world; it holds all of Heaven. Jesus took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it (Matthew 26:27). In other words, everything in the cup is for you.

The disciples at first didn’t know what was in the cup; they didn’t understand that the Holy Ghost was in that cup for them. At the Last Supper just before Christ was crucified, He took Holy Communion with the disciples. The bread, the juice of the vine are probably all they were conscious of at that time. That’s all a lot of people are conscious of when they take Holy Communion, but there is so much more. Everything in the whole New Testament is in that one big cup of communion. Look into that cup daily. Every time you look into the Jesus cup you’ll not find one promise in the whole New Testament that’s not in it. Not one deliverance, not one help is missing; it’s all in the cup, and that cup belongs to you. Are you drinking it all? Thirst for it daily, and drink from the cup.

We drink water for the physical body, but we must drink from this spiritual cup or the soul will not survive in a healthy way. The more we drink, the more the soul comes forth with all the strength, power, peace, happiness, and joy that God provides. In the cup is divine love, divine peace, divine joy, divine compassion, divine humility, divine determination, divine strength, divine help, divine hope, divine sight, divine everything. It’s all in the cup; it’s all in the cup.

Our love of God is in Christ Jesus. God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36). And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19). The disciples taught the reality of the great love in the cup. You have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about when you have this love.

People can accuse you of not having love, of having many faults, but your character is not known by people’s accusations; it’s known by what God says you have. You may not agree with your accusers; you may not jump every time they speak, and so they say you don’t have love.

Paul had great love for God. He wrote: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present [what we’re surrounded with right now], nor things to come [whatever tomorrow holds], Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38,39). The love of God is so strong that no outside force can separate us from it. Paul gloried in Jesus, our praise, our peace, our everything.

Jesus is our greatest inspiration. Let Jesus be everything to you, and then it won’t matter what people do; you go right on. No matter how many disappointments come your way, you go on just like Jesus went on.

God has never been disappointed in anything the way He was in the fall of man. He is disappointed today that so many ears are not hearing the voice calling from Calvary. How awful not to hear that love call!

For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (II Thessalonians 2:11,12). Many people are believing lies today; deceiving spirits, seducing spirits are taking them over. One day Calvary will turn into a mount of judgment. It won’t be Jesus’ Cross anymore on that mount. Fallen humanity, unrepentant, will look at the Cross, and it will be judgment for them; the Cross of love will have turned into the Cross of judgment for sinners. Woe to them when that Cross turns into a cross of damnation!

Be on Guard

Be on guard at all times, or seducing devils will take you over in this hour. They’ll do everything they can to seduce you through each person the devil can use. Be very careful when you are around anyone who is seduced. Don’t think you have so much power that you can place yourself in jeopardy and be all right. The devil would like to make you believe that lie, but the Lord said, Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall (I Corinthians 10:12). Be very careful; be on guard.

Paul said, But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway (I Corinthians 9:27). Paul knew he had to be on guard; he knew he could lose his soul and be damned in hell; he had to live holy, for it was either holiness or hell.

The Bible says to follow the Lord in righteousness and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). Follow after that which is holy, that which is righteous. I look at the Cross and know Jesus is no longer hanging there. No, He turned that Cross into a beautiful love Cross. It’s a Cross of pardon; I received my pardon stamped with blood—His. Pardoned, pardoned from all my sins—and you were, too, when you were born again—isn’t that beautiful!

That Cross of blood will live for all eternity. But those who reject that Cross, those who trample the blood of Jesus underfoot, will one day cry for the rocks and mountains to fall on them. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand (Revelation 6:15-17)? My God, why don’t they cry for Calvary today before it’s too late? It’s a love Cross today: they wouldn’t be crucified; they wouldn’t be killed; they wouldn’t be put to death for their sins if they turned to Jesus! No, Jesus paid the price.

The blood is still flowing for all on Calvary today. You see the blood stains of deliverance there, Calvary’s love and grace. You see the great heart of God there, not only Jesus, but the heart of God. God gave His whole heart when He gave Jesus.

Many Christians treat a family member with higher honors than they treat Jesus, give more attention to their birthdays than they give to Jesus’ birthday. Isn’t that alarming? It is to me! They don’t ask Jesus what He wants for His birthday. With tears rolling down His cheeks, He asks only for lost souls. I want them to hear of my love, I hear Him saying, to hear my Gospel. I want lost souls to find the way to Heaven, to be pardoned. I hear Him cry, Child, don’t you know that many people have never heard about me on planet Earth? Don’t you know I said that all must hear, and that I have given you a grave responsibility? The ones who really love Jesus with their whole hearts are the only ones who will carry this responsibility of love to win the lost. Jesus loves His true people who have proven that He can trust them with the responsibility of the lost.

Jesus Came to Bring Salvation and Healing

There are such a few people, the Lord is saying today, that He can trust with the lost; you hold souls in your hands. The spaces between your fingers are filled in with His blood love, and that’s the reason you’re holding on to the lost in such a great way. His blood love is bringing them on in by the thousands and will be bringing them in by the millions, numbered as the stars of heaven. And when you look into your hands—what He has placed there—you see the stars of heaven and know what you are holding, saith the Lord. Among those so many of you have loved ones, so many are in that number who can be and will be brought in. Don’t let go; don’t let go. Hold on with His love, His blood love.

Some of you are ready to meet the Lord; others are not. If you are not sure of your salvation, pray this prayer with me now. Oh, God, Save my soul! I have failed you. I have sinned against you. I am so sorry. But I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins, all of them. Come into my heart Jesus! Lord, I want to be ready when you come. If I have one spot or wrinkle, set me free! Set me free so I can do all the work that you want me to do and win every soul that you want me to win. In the name of Jesus, I have come to do your will, oh Lord.

If you are sick or afflicted, know that you have the power of Jesus with you to bring physical deliverance. I am not the healer; Jesus is the healer. Get ready for your miracle now. With His blood stripes you can have healing. Claim this promise in the Word of God: With his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). You who have cancer, heart trouble, paralysis, or any other disease or affliction: There is nothing the Lord cannot heal. You can be made whole. That little afflicted baby can be healed. In the name of Jesus, I bring the sick and afflicted to you, Lord, to be healed. In obedience to your Word I pray for them. From your supernatural gifts of healing and your supernatural gift of miracles, through the power of the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus, Heal! Heal!

His power is flowing into your body or into your child’s body if you believed that prayer. That power will work night and day, when you accept it, to get you or your loved one well. Watch every sign of improvement. Be a witness to God working daily, and then write and tell me about the results. I want to rejoice with you.

God bless you and help you to live in the reality of divine blood as we go forth with Christ, our sufficiency in everything, to win the lost at any cost in this last and final hour.
