 Volume 9 The K eeping Pow er for the Mind

 by Ernest An gley 

The enemy is doing all he can to disturb and trouble the Children

of God, but in this final hour, you must learn as never before how 

to have peace of mind.  And the p eace of God, w hich passethall un derstanding, shall keep your hearts and m inds

through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

The Lord wants to be the peace in your mind; He will not only 

keep your soul, but your mind. If you are saved, you will go to

heaven; but without Jesus as your peace of mind, the journey 

there will be miserable. God does not want you to be miserable,

 but to accept Jesus as your peace. For he is our peace

(Ephesians 2:14).

Bu t this is that which was spoken b y the prophet Joel;

 And it shall come to p ass in the last days, saith God, I will pour ou t of my Spirit upo n

all flesh (Acts 2:16,17). This is the mighty pouring-out time of the Holy Spirit. The greatness that

men of God in the Old Testament had the greatness of the prophets, major and minor, is all ours.

That which God served the children of God in the past is this that we have today, this that we have

today is that which they had. This faith we have is the same faith that Noah and Abraham had. The

Spirit, the power that causes us to please God is the same that caused God to take Enoch to heaven

alive.

Moses had great power; that is this and this is that which he had. Remember, Moses had so much

power from heaven that when he told God, I am n ot able to bear all this people alone,

 becau se it is too heavy for me, God told him to choose seventy men and bring them to the

tabernacle. Then God came down in a cloud, spoke andtook of the spirit that was u pon him

[Moses], and gave it unto the seventy elders (Numbers 11:14,25). The Bible does not tell us

that the Lord sent any power from heaven for the seventy; He took it all from Moses. Think of one

man having enough power to supply seventy men to help carry his load! Moses had a lighter load,

 but less power.

 After studying Moses, I have always been afraid to tell the Lord that my burden was too much. I

don't want the Lord to take away any of His power from me. I need it all. I would rather have a

heavy load and much power than a light load and a little power. When you ask the Lord for power,

 be willing to carry a great load. I wonder if Moses ever regretted telling the Lord that the load was

too heavy. I imagine he did.

The soul has unlimited capacity; it can hold all of heaven, all the greatness of God the Father, God

the Son and God the Holy Ghost. The world cannot understand such a soul; they think that one is

delusional when he declares that Jesus is living on the inside, that the Holy Ghost is with him as his

teacher, that God the Father is living and dining with him. The world cannot accept the reality of a

 born-again soul because they don't know God, they don't know the soul that came from God or how 

to draw from the soul to feed the mind.

 As the Israelites were about to enter the land of Canaan, Moses reached the end of his days on

Earth. So Moses the servan t of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to

the word of the Lord. And he bu ried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against

Beth-peor: bu t no man know eth of his sepulchre un to this day. And Moses was an

hun dred and twen ty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural

force abated (Deuteronomy 34:5-7). I once felt sorry for Moses because after all his hard work,

after all the grief the Israelites had given him, he died before setting foot in the Promised Land.

Then one day I woke up. Lord, you did Moses a great favor! Look at the difficulties the Israelites

encountered in Canaan! Moses missed them all. He was in heaven having a glorious time. We

don't always know how to put things into perspective, what the priorities are for happiness and joy.

Never pity someone in heaven; rejoice for them. Pity the ones left behind with no hope for

heaven. The righteous is taken away from the e vil to come (Isaiah 57:1).

 Who will take the mantle, who will carry the power of God after Moses? God must have human

 vessels to carry His power, to pour Himself through. That power which has been used for God in

the past has been given to us. God furnishes it for us to use for Him in this hour. This is that.

 After Moses died, Joshua took on his huge responsibility, but he also took much power of God with

it. It doesn't matter how great the responsibility God lays at your door; as long as you use His

power for that responsibility you will be all right. If you have a load greater to handle than the

power God has given to you, you are loaded down with some things you shouldn't have. Unload.

Those overwhelming burdens can't be the Lord's because He gives power to carry His burden. Any 

 burden the Lord lays on you comes with His power to carry it. Never say you don't have power to

carry the Lord's burdens; He gives it to you.

 We must know the burden of the Lord, for it's easy to collect unnecessary burdens. God's burdens

are not the same for everyone. Because His burdens are numerous, the Lord divides them among

His Children. He needs many vessels that He can fill with His greatness. In this hour the Bride

 will carry His responsibilities, forgetting the unnecessary ones.

The Early Church didn't seem to be involved with their own burdens; they were busy carrying the

 burdens of Jesus. They loved Him so much it was a joy to do whatever they could for Him.

 Although it cost many of them their lives, they died in the faith and love of God. Losing sight of 

everything, gladly they gave themselves in death for His holy name. They refused to give up the

responsibility of the burdens the Lord wanted them to carry.

Because that is this and this is that, we, like the Early Church can step forward to carry the burdens

of the Lord, knowing we will have all the power needed; we will not break down beneath the load.

The Lord will help us. Jesus knows what it means for God to move in and give strength when the

 body is overtaxed. He fell beneath the cross; He knows what it means to have help to carry the

cross, and He will be there to help you every time. Blessed be the name of the Lord! Expect those

nail-riven hands to reach out, helping you lift the cross whenever you need help. Jesus is delighted

to help you carry the cross.

Joshua was told to march around the walls of Jericho with the people. With them went the mighty 

power of heaven, a power greater than anything Joshua could have imagined. Joshua had

comman ded the p eople, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make an y noise with your

 voice, neither shall any word procee d ou t of your m outh, u ntil the day I bid you shou t;

then shall ye shout (Joshua 6:10). We all must learn in this final hour to keep our mouths shut

until the Lord tells us to shout. If we open our mouths at the wrong time, we could talk doubt,could decide the walls are too thick to come tumbling down. Shout when it's God's time to shout,

and the walls of adversity will fall down flat.

Seven days the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho in the power of God. Blowing a few 

rams' horns didn't cause the walls to fall down—it was the power of God. So the people shouted

 whe n the priests blew with the trumpe ts: and it came to pass, whe n the people heard

the soun d of the trumpe t, and the people shou ted w ith a great shout, that the wall fell

down flat, so that the people w ent u p into the city, every man straight before him, and

they took the city (Joshua 6:20).

Total obedience to the Lord brought the miracle. The shout of faith struck the walls with such force

that the walls fell down flat, and every man went into Jericho straight ahead. But first, the

Israelites had to die to pride, to ego. It's hard to be egotistical about marching around a wall and

keeping your mouth shut.  What are you doing out there? We're getting ready for the walls to fall

down.  When the Israelites died completely to self, they were ready to shout the shout of God.

 You aren't ready to give the shout that will tear down walls until you die out to self, until ego is

gone and your trust is placed in the Lord completely.

 Again and again the walls will tumble in this final hour. Don't consider any wall impossible for the

power of God and the faith of those who trust Him completely. Look at your walls today and

decide that this we have today is that which brought down the walls of Jericho. Walls, you are

coming down.

 When you know all you have to do is to be totally obedient to the Lord, it isn't difficult to march

around the walls. He is not a hard taskmaster, but a reasonable one. Come now, and let us

reason together, saith the Lord (Isaiah 1:18).

In the camp of God's obedient children, victory cries will be heard again and again because walls

must come tumbling down, many walls in many nations. We must help people everywhere. Those

in darkness need to be delivered, and they won't be delivered unless we obey God, unless we use

the faith of God, unless we use the power that was used in Bible days.

 We don't want the walls of the nations to fall to the destruction of the people, but to the saving of their souls. We want to bring them out into the arms of Jesus, telling them, "Jesus loves you, Jesus

cares for you! Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Come on out! There's a

Calvary for you, a fountain opened for you to be washed in the blood of the Lamb and made so pure

that the Lord will take you to heaven one day where you'll live with angelic beings and God the

Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost." This is that.

 You have nothing to be sad about, nothing to be depressed over and everything to look up for. It's

simple when you let God work through you, when you learn beyond doubt thatthat is this and this

is that. Since this is that and that is this, you have the evidence that the power of God works,performs, tears down the strongholds of the devil and sets the captives free.

 We look in on Israel again. There's a prophet in the land—Elijah. What power moves through him

as he speaks for God! God's people will speak for Him in this final hour. It won't be fanaticism, but

power from on High speaking the faith of God, the love, the greatness of God and putting it all into

action.

Elijah stood before King Ahab saying, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, be fore who m I

stand, there shall not be de w n or rain these years, but according to my word (I Kings

17:1). The word of the Lord was in his mouth; Elijah spoke only the word of the Lord. In this last

hour the Bride will be saying: "Thus saith the Lord! Thus saith the Lord!" Her own opinions cast

aside, the Bride will be filled with the words of the Lord. All the strength and power of heaven will

 be in "Thus saith the Lord." Elijah said, "Thus saith the Lord" and it took place. No rain fell for

over three years. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed

earne stly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three

 waste, n either shall the cru se of oil fail, un til the day that the Lord sendeth rain u pon

the earth (I Kings 17:11-14). Oh, widow woman, the Lord will do it! In faith she obeyed the words

of Elijah.

The Bride in perfect obedience will give the last she has into the hands of the Master. The widow 

 woman gave the last she had, but it was only the beginning of what God had for her. Remember,

 when you give the last you have, you've come to the beginning of what God has for you. Where

 your giving ends, His giving begins. When the widow woman gave all, the Lord gave her all she

needed. Those who don't believe won't get their meal barrel filled.

Oh, the wonderful things God used Elijah for! Would you have believed the miracle of supply 

could happen to you? The Bride in this final hour will have so much of the grace, love and faith of 

God—surrounded by the angels of God and backed up by all heaven—that she certainly will

 believe. The song of her heart will be "My God will supply!" That which Elijah had is this we have

today. That which Abraham had when He said, God will prov ide, is this we have today (Genesis

22:8). The same power used for Elijah is our help today, our power now. My God shall sup ply 

all your nee d according to his riches in glory. My God will do it!

Unexpectedly, the son of the widow with whom Elijah was staying died. She wondered what

 judgment had come upon her, what judgment the man of God had brought to her. Elijah carried

her son into a loft, laid him on his own bed. O Lord m y God, I pray thee, let this child's soul

come into him again. And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the sou l of the child

came into him again, and he revived (I Kings 17:21,22). Looking upon this great miracle, the

 woman recognized Elijah to truly be a man of God.  And the wom an said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the w ord of the Lord in thy mou th is

truth (I Kings 17:24).

Even though the widow woman had seen the miracle of the continuously filled meal barrel and

cruse of oil during the famine, it took the great miracle upon her son to totally convince her that

Elijah was a man of God. She was close to God; material things did not matter as much to her as

receiving that which was needed for her son. It had happened.

The world will know the true God and His people—the Bride of Christ—by the great manifestations

of Lord God Almighty performed through the Bride in this her last hour. It will be mighty 

manifestations because that is this and this is that.

Thank God, today He is walking with the Bride in this her last hour. We're moving on in closer to

the Lord. Those who are lukewarm will be spewed into the Tribulation Period. Pray that God save

them if He can, bring them into the fold. The decision to serve or not to serve God wholeheartedly 

is theirs. They know the right way but do they want it? We cannot let unbelief in others slow us

down. We must go after the heathen, those who have never had an opportunity to know Christ,

using all the faith, strength and love of God to see that they hear the Gospel.

Some in our nation are like heathen, they have never heard, never been taught about Jesus. They 

don't know He is real, the very Son of God born of the virgin Mary. Many preachers don't know or

teach the virgin birth. They are worse than heathen, more destructive. God frowns upon them

more than on the heathen.

 After more than three-and-a-half years of drought, the w ord of the Lord came to Elijah in the

third year, saying, Go, shew thyself un to Ahab; and I w ill send rain u pon the earth (I

Kings 18:1). Ahab went to meet Elijah. "You and your father's house have brought this disaster on

Israel," Elijah told him. "Bring your prophets of Baal. Let them call on their God,and I w ill call

on the n ame of the Lord: and the God that answe reth by fire, let him be God (verse

24)." All day long the prophets of Baal pleaded with their god to come down. Elijah mocked them.

They leaped and cut themselves until the blood gushed out.

Finally in the evening, Elijah directed four barrels of water to be poured over the altar he had

repaired—three times the water was poured. He prayed a prayer of sixty-three words andthe fire

of the Lord fell, and consum ed the bu rnt sacrifice, and the wood , and the stones, and

the dust, and licked up the w ater that was in the trench (verse 38).

In the past, God's people have drawn up into a corner in the face of persecution. No more. Afraid

of nothing, today they know the fire of God will fall whenever needed. Read of Elijah in First and

Second Kings. The power of God that worked through him is the same power that works today.

Elijah went through many experiences, valleys as well as high places. The deepest valley we know 

of was in the wilderness when he prayed to die. He thought no one but himself was serving God.

It is enou gh; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not be tter than my fathers. And

as he lay and slept un der a jun iper tree, behold, then an an gel touched him, and said

un to him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the

coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down

again. And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and

said Arise and eat; because the journe y is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat

and drink, an d w ent in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights un to

Horeb the mou nt of God (I Kings 19:4-8).

The Lord gave Elijah strength to journey to the Mount of God. That's all we need; strength to reach

the mount of God. When you're in the valley, remember that the angel of the Lord is there to

minister to you.

Elijah traveled one hundred fifty miles to the Mount of God.  And he came thither un to a cave,

and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said un to

him, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord

God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy coven ant, thrown down

thine altars, and slain thy prophe ts with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and

they seek m y life, to take it aw ay (I Kings 19:9,10). Elijah had put his life on the line before

evil Ahab and Jezebel, slain the prophets of Baal, and now he thought he was the only one left who

served God. But the Lord said, Ye t I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the kne es

 which have not bow ed u nto Baal, and every mouth w hich hath not kissed him (verse

18). Many women and children would have been added to those seven thousand men. It was

enough to encourage Elijah.

God then instructed Elijah to anoint a king over Syria and a king over Israel and to anoint Elisha to

 be prophet in his stead. It wasn't to be long before Elijah would reach rapture ground. Elisha knew

it. He was determined to follow Elijah until the end. Elijah took his mantle, wrapped it together

and smote the waters of the Jordan so they divided; he and Elisha walked across on dry ground.

Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. He knew when Elijah was gone there would be

more devils than ever to fight against. You've asked a hard thing, Elijah told him,neve rtheless, if 

thou see m e whe n I am taken from thee, it shall be so (II Kings 2:10). As they talked on the

other side of Jordan, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and

parted them bo th asunder ; and Elijah wen t up by a whirlwind into heaven (II Kings

2:11).

Elisha was the only one who really believed Elijah would be taken alive into heaven, and today 

many don't believe the Bride will be raptured. Elisha saw Elijah go into heaven, and Elijah's

mantle fell on him. Miracle power changed Elijah, took him to heaven alive. Miracle power

 brought down that heavenly chariot, miracle glory enabled him to step on board. But he didn't

forget the mantle while he ascended; he dropped it for Elisha.

Elisha took the mantle of Elijah, rushed back to Jordan, smote the waters and cried, W here is the

Lord God of Elijah? and w hen he also had smitten the w aters, they parted hither and

thither: and Elisha we nt over (II Kings 2:14). In this final hour, the Bride has the mantle of 

power. Again and again, she will strike the waters and see them separate as she cries, "The Lord

God of Elijah lives today! Jesus is alive, Jesus is alive!" Jesus promised to pray the Father to send

another Comforter, the Holy Ghost.  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you

another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. It is expedient for you that I

go away: for if I go not aw ay, the Comforter will not come un to you; bu t if I depart, I

 will send him un to you (John 14:16; 16:7). Jesus didn't forget the mantle for His followers; they 

found it in the Upper Room.

hour we must be alert, our eyes open so we won't be petrified with fear no matter what comes our

 way, real or imagined.

 We are to fear God in an awesome, reverent way, and to fear Him only. That fear will be the

strength of the Lord for us. Walking in the steps of Jesus, our imaginations will not run away with

us when we face our den of lions, or stand in the fiery furnace.

The three Hebrew boys were thrown into the fiery furnace heated seven times hotter than ever

 before. The flame was so intense it killed the men who threw them in. But when the king looked

into the furnace he was astonished. Did not we cast three men bou nd into the midst of the

fire? Lo, I see fou r men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hu rt;

and the form of the fourth is like the S on of God (Daniel 3:24,25). In that terrible furnace,

the Hebrew boys found the greatness of the Lord.

In the past many Christians have swooned when they heard the furnace was going to get hotter,deciding to turn back. They didn't know it would be like that. The milk and honey in the Promised

Land drew them, but when things got rough, they went back to the onions and garlic of Egypt. Not

the Bride. In this final hour she will dine with the Lord. Without compromise while the furnace is

 being heated, the Bride will stand firm with Him. The strength that sustained Daniel, the Bride has

today. It's not another power, but the same power and it will work the same way—not another

faith, it's the same faith that works the same way.

The Bride in her most trying hours will find more greatness of God than she has ever had before.

The greatness of God will go before her, waiting for her. Closer than ever, the arms of His

greatness will draw her to His bosom. Winning the lost at any cost, the Bride will sing and shout

the praises of God. This is that and that is this.

Jesus said, He that believeth on me, the w orks that I do shall he do also; and greater

 works than these shall he do; because I go u nto my Father (John 14:12). The Bride will do

these greater works, for she will be able to reach greater numbers of people. All the rainbow 

promises of God will be her supply, her delight, her sunlight, her peace, joy and strength in this herlast hour.

There are those who have eaten the Lord's "tater." The tenth tater belongs to God: ten percent of 

 your income. Tithing is a commandment of God. Will a man rob God? Ye t ye have robbed

me. Bu t ye say, Whe rein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed

 with a cu rse: for ye have robbe d me … Bring ye all the tithes into the storehou se, that

there may be me at in mine hou se, and prove me n ow her ew ith, saith the Lord of 

hosts, if I will not open you the w indows of heaven , and pou r you ou t a blessing, that

there shall not be room enou gh to receive it (Malachi 3:8-10). The Lord said if we would

give Him our tithes and offerings He would open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing.

Some of you have good intentions, asking the Lord to make the way for you, promising to give Him

His part. The Lord makes the way for you, but you forget your promise. You look at your ten

taters, think you need them all, and you eat the Lord's tater. Now you have a doctor bill and not

enough money to pay it. You ate the Lord's tater, and it made you sick. "Oh God," you cry, "Heal

me!" But the Lord said you ate His tater. "Oh God, have mercy! What's wrong with me?"

 You know what's wrong; the Bible tells you. God has spoken through it and you're not listening;

 you've robbed God of His tithes and offerings. You don't want to hear what's wrong. You would

rather go to the hospital and let them tell you something else is the problem. When it comes down

to the truth, you ate the Lord's tater.

The Lord didn't say you had to be generous, but if you had loved Him enough you would have

 been. You took all the taters.

 When you get sick, check to see if the Lord has His tater. Did you give Him what belonged to Him?

The Lord only wants one tater out of ten, and then He leaves it up to you how much more you want

to give Him through love.

This is that and that is this. The promise of the open window blessing from heaven is for us today.

That which they were promised in Malachi is for us; this is that.  As we tithe and give unto the Lord

in love, He will do wonderful things for us. It works. In this hour, God is going to open up many  windows of heaven upon the Bride, pour out miracles and healings in abundance. Miraculous

things will take place around her; it will be glorious. Surrounded by the beautiful works of the man

of Galilee, the Bride will experience the works of Jesus upon her.

Manifesting Himself in many ways, God will let the world know who He really is. He will reveal

Himself in love, and He will reveal Himself in judgments like He did in Bible days. There will be

much judgment in this final hour, saith the Lord, much judgment; but the grace of God will alsoabound.

In the New Testament we read that God took the sight from a man who had insulted the Spirit of 

God. He was led away blind because he mocked God, spit in His eye. Paul told him,Behold, the

hand of the Lord is upon thee , and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a

season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he we nt abou t

seeking some to lead him by the hand (Acts 13:11).

Herod set himself up above God, and imm ediately the angel of the Lord smote him,

 becau se he gave not God the glory: and he w as eaten of worm s, and gave u p the ghost

(Acts 12:23). These two judgments were not under the Law, but under the dispensation of grace.

Before Herod could be buried, the worms ate him. Imagine the thousands of worms that took over

that body! Soon it was devoured before the eyes of the people. I say again, there will be much

 judgment in this hour, judgment through the elements, nature, judgment for individuals in all

kinds of ways. That is this and this is that.

God meant business in that day, and He means business today. More judgment than ever before

 will fall now because there is a Calvary that again and again is being rejected. Remember Calvary.

God gave everything to make that Calvary for man. Be careful how you respond to God.

Many will blaspheme the Holy Ghost in this final hour. God told me, in the divine visitation in

1954, that they would. He said that even Pentecostal ministers would blaspheme the Holy Ghost.

In that day, such a thing was unheard of; but you see the way many ministers have gone today,

denying so much of the Word of God. God said He would reveal His miracles, and they would deny 

them, blaspheming the Holy Ghost.

The Spirit of the Lord will lift from multitudes in this last hour, saith the Lord, will lift from them to

never strive with them again. Preachers who have spoken against God's power, preached against

the teachings in the Word of God, left part of it out, won't get by in this last hour. The Spirit of God

 will lift from them. Don't think God won't do it! He will. When His Spirit lifts from these

ministers, they'll be cold to the Spirit. Some have no interest in Him today at all, no desire to serveGod or to please Him. This is that and that is this.

 We will see all manner of manifestations in this last hour. We will see the greatness of the Almighty

as God walks the Earth in love and in all-out judgment. In the divine visitation in 1954, I heard the

feet of the Lord coming down upon planet Earth so powerfully that Earth seemed as though it were

made out of paper. I shall never forget it. When God steps down on planet Earth in all-out

 judgment, it will be like stepping down on paper, everything under His feet destroyed, destruction

the world has never before witnessed.

God let people go to their own doom under the Law, and even under grace. When God getsenough, it's over. God is close to having His fill of disobedient, sinful humanity, of people denying

His Word in part or wholly, calling it doctrines of devils, criticizing the miracle-working, healing

power of God and the greatness of the power of the Holy Spirit. God has taken just about all He

can stand. We're coming so close to the final judgment that we're going to see many signs of 

 warning, saith the Lord. Judgment has already started, and there will be more and more of it.

The world will not last. The environment that concerns many will one day all be destroyed: The

Bible foretells it. Behold, the Lord maketh the earth em pty, and maketh it waste, and

turn eth it up side down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. The earth also

is defiled un der the inhabitants thereof; becau se they have transgressed the laws,

changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenan t. Therefore hath the curse

devou red the earth, and they that dw ell therein are d esolate: therefore the

inhabitants of the earth are burn ed, and few m en left. The earth shall reel to and fro

like a dru nkard, and shall be rem oved like a cottage; and the transgression thereof 

shall be heav y upon it; and it shall fall, and n ot rise again (Isaiah 24:1,5,6,20).

Imagine the fear in men's hearts when the sun refuses to shine and the moon turns into blood,

 when the stars fall to the Earth! Those without the cause of Jesus will live in fear in this last hour.

Many are afraid to eat certain foods because they might get cancer, heart trouble, paralysis or some

other affliction from them. People in great distress wonder what they will do, what the world is

coming to. Full of fear, they don't know which way to turn. Working for many causes, few have the

cause of Calvary. They are right to be afraid. Without Christ one should be full of fear. Fear of going out at night, fear of being robbed, fear of being alone, fear of different things puts people into

 bondage. Pray before you eat; sanctify your food; pray before you leave your house, before you use

 your car.

 You needn't let God's judgments shake you, Child of God; be rooted and grounded in the truth, the

great love and faith of God. Take all the Word of God. Put on all His armor. Carry the peace of 

God in your mind. Let Jesus be your peace. In order for Him to be your peace, you must let Him be your all in all. When you find yourself being troubled in mind, stop and remember: "Jesus is my 

peace. I have Jesus. Jesus, you're in my soul, and my mind doesn't have to continue in this state of 

confusion and depression. You'll give me peace." The Holy Spirit can bridge that gulf between the

soul and mind, giving you a flow of the Spirit over the mind, totally amazing you with the greatness

of God. And as you go in that peace, in that serenity of the Holy Spirit and greatness of God, you

 will understand the Early Church, the people on whom the Holy Ghost first fell at Pentecost.

It's time for us to shout the praises of God, time to lift up holy banners, time to let the world know 

that we're Jesus-people; we're on the Lord's side. We believe the whole Word of God; we believe in

signs, wonders, miracles and healings; and we believe in the baptism in the Holy Ghost with the

initial evidence of speaking in other tongues just as the Holy Ghost spoke through those in the

Upper Room on the day of Pentecost. It's time for us to stand for it all, honor all that God has said.

 We will not honor God unless we honor all of His Word. We will sanctify the Lord God night and

day in our hearts, glorify His holy name. Blessed be the name of the Lord! We're mounting higher

and higher on the winds of the Holy Spirit, carried higher and higher into the arms of the Lord in

this last hour. Oh, Bride of Christ, take heart! Your heartbeat will be the same as the heartbeat of 

God in holy unity with His. No power will be able to defeat you as you trample devils underfoot

 just as the Master said. That is this and this is that! It thrills me through and through.

Calvary, Pentecost, the Upper Room, the power of God, the coming of the Lord, the greatness of the

Lord, the fruit and gifts of the Spirit, the righteousness, holiness, purity of God—you can have it all.

 You have the message for the whole world because you have the Word. Without the whole Word

 you don't have the whole message. Only part of the Word will not give people what they need from

heaven for this last hour; it will take the whole Word in action to evangelize the world, the whole

 Word of God embraced by the Bride of Christ to make this old world reel and rock. All the

promises of God must be used by the Bride in this last hour to do what needs to be done. Do it she

 will because God declares it; it's the will of God. No power can stop her becausethis is that and

that defeated death, hell and the grave. This will do the same thing. Bless the Lord, oh my soul,

and all that is within me, bless His holy name. I will declare His holiness and righteousness, His

love for all mankind. I will declare that He is Lord God Almighty, the great I-Am.

Crying to the world that I-Am has sent us, we will use the great power of I-Am in this final hour just

as Moses and others used it. It's time for deliverance, the greatest deliverance the world has ever

seen, greater deliverance than when the Israelites were brought out of Egyptian bondage. This is

the great hour of deliverance, saith the Lord. The Lord is moving through the Bride to set the

captives free, to heal the brokenhearted and to see that people hear the Gospel. The acceptable

 year of the Lord, the year of Jubilee, the year of redemption must be preached to the world in this

last hour.

 All will not receive, but God will give them a chance. The nail-riven hands will reach out, and the

 world will have the opportunity to accept or reject them just as you had. One day those nail-riven

hands came before you, offering you grace, deliverance, heaven, the blessed hope for the soon

coming of the Lord. Those nail-riven hands offered you all the strength you would need for the

 journey, promised you everything worthwhile for eternal life.

 Aren't you glad you said yes to Jesus, that you bent low to kiss those hands with all the love that

flowed from heaven into your heart? You accepted salvation, loving Jesus better than anything inthe whole world. You had the message; you wanted everyone to know Jesus, to tell the story over

and over. The story never grows old. The more it's told, the newer it seems, the stronger it

 becomes. The more it's told, the more joy flows through it and from it, the more peace flows our

 way. We tell the story over and over, more excited each time. We will convince people in this last

hour with the greatness and power of God. This is that and that is this.

Sinner, are you ready for the Savior? I bring Him to you, the living Jesus, the Redeemer, Savior of 

mankind. You may feel weak and helpless. Perhaps you have tried to live for God in the past and it

didn't work; God will give you the power, the strength to live for Him. He will deliver you, make

 you a new creature as He moves into your heart. That's what He has done for many.

Oh, sinner, come home! Say this prayer with me: "Oh God, save my soul! I believe in the blood of 

Jesus, and I believe the blood of Jesus has power to wash away all of my sins. Come on in, Jesus!

Come into my heart!"

If you meant that prayer, He is yours. He will live His life through you now as you continue to

 yield to His Spirit. He delights in living His life through human beings.

 You who are sick and afflicted, that is this and this is that. This that we have is that power that

operated through Jesus when He was here in the form of a man. Sincethat is this and this is that,

 you can have your miracle. I received mine many years ago, and it's still good today. You can have your miracle, too. God is no respecter of persons.

"Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you in obedience to you. You have healed multitudes, the

 blind, the crippled, the paralyzed, the cancer victims. You heal all manner of sicknesses and

diseases. Your healing comes from your mighty gift of miracles, your gifts of healing through the

power of the Holy Ghost; it flows in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Heal! Heal, in the name of 

Jesus! Heal all the sick and afflicted, all the helpless ones. Lord, get them well this day and we'll

give you the honor, the praise and the glory. You are wonderful, Lord, in all of your ways, and your

 ways are past finding out. We delight in your power from on High being used among people today,and your great works being performed just like you said they would be."

Honor and praise Him. Thank Him for your miracle, your healing, and watch as the Lord gets you

 well for His name's sake. He is wonderful!

 Yea, saith the Spirit of the Lord: I am moving with my Word, and I am shouting my promises that

all who want to hear can hear in this last hour. My angels are declaring my glory and singing my praise—not only in heaven but on Earth. And my angels are going forth daily now, night and day,

to do great battle with and for my people. Open your eyes and ears to my greatness. Let my Word

live in your spirit night and day. Let my Word be in all of its power as when I first spoke it.

Diseases will be destroyed. Sin will be destroyed. Unrighteousness will be destroyed. Weakness

 will be destroyed, and my great strength will flow like mighty rivers in this last hour.

Behold! The hand of the Lord is upon you. Behold! The power of heaven is yours. And behold

that all power is given unto you over all the works of the devil and the power of Lucifer. Do not be

afraid, but be strong in the might of my faith and in my love. Walk in my faith and love every 

moment that you have left, and my greatness will always be yours. My heart will be yours, and the

greatness of my strength will work with you and through you. I will cover you with wings of 

greatness, and I will use you. And you will have my oil. And you will go forth when that hour

comes. There will be no scarcity of my oil. And as you trim your lamps, the glow and the power of 

heaven you will see. Lift up your heads, oh my people, and know that redemption draweth nigh.

Lift up your heads and let me give you vision to see the whole world and the harvest. See it all.

Take it all in with one look as I do. I give you my eyes to see the harvest fields and they're so ripe

for harvest! Don't let the harvest, don't let any of it go to waste. Fast, pray, seek my face and feed

 your spirit the Word, the Word, saith the Lord; and my promises will be fulfilled, and the

greatness of my plans for you w ill be fulfilled.

 You don't have to worry about being a failure; just walk with me and the victories will be yours.

 Walk with me. My Son made paths for your feet, and through my Spirit you will find His

footprints the rest of your journey, saith the Lord.
