Speaker 1: God became as we are that we may be as
He is. That is God's purpose. There is his plan,
which he set forth in Christ for the fullness of time.
But God himself never left them, and therefore God cannot return.
I am with you always to the end of the age. Therefore,
God has never left humanity, and therefore he cannot return.
And yet, in the promise of the Holy Spirit, the
coming of a definite divine person is promised. Scoffers will
come in the last day, scoff and saying prayer is
the promise of his coming, of his coming forever. Since
the fathers fall asleep, all things have continued as there
were from the beginning of creation. So a death that
person is promised. Now this is my theme tonight. God
and man are permanently made one in the person of Christ.
God became as I am, But without Christ revealing it,
I would not know it. God became as every child
born a woman, and yet that child could go through
the ages. I never know that God became me, and
the purpose is that he may become God. He will
not an eternity know it unless he knows it. In
the person of Christ. Now this is what I mean
I'll take now the first book of the New Testament,
the Book of Relations, not in his canonical order, but
in his chronological order. It was the first book written,
either that or First Thessalonians. But it's a toss up
within a year or two. And this is Paul's reading biography.
His confession said, I will have you know, brethren, that
the gospel which I have preached is not according to
man's gospel. For I did not receive it from a man,
nor was I taught it. But it came through a
revelation of Jesus Christ. He was not speculating, trying to
set up some workable philosophy of life. This is something
that came through revelation revealed. Truth is that which you
cannot logically prove. It's something that is entirely different. It
is real as this room more so, but it's something
that reason cannot put its teeth into it. Now, this
is my theme. You mean God became me and through
the same face I have walked, and God within me
and never left me, not for one moment, not even
in my dreams that night. He is the dreamer in me,
and the waker and the dreamer are one. And here
He never left me, not for one moment, and I
didn't know it until Christ came. But Christ comes to
us individually, not collectively. He comes to the individual and
reveals to the individual who that individual is. If you
study the scriptures or when it came to me, I served,
he was the most startled person in the world. I
was old. I could hardly believe that the man that
I know so well that did many things of which
I am ashamed, and possibly today I'm capable of doing
similar things. And still, in spite of that, he came
to me and revealed to me the being that I
really am well, who is this Christ? As Paul said,
he did not receive it from a man. He was
not by a man. Will I make the same confession.
I did not hear it from a man. I was
not taught it by a man. That came through revelation.
I had never known, for one moment anything about this
revelation until the night that it happened. Oh yes, I
had heard of Christ. My brother taught me Christ. In school.
I was taught the story of Christ. But then I
went out into the world. I saw pictures on the wall,
and they taught me this is the artist's concept of
Christ painted under inspiration, until there are forty or fifty
different pictures of Christ, no Two looking alife, each claiming
that it was inspired by the original be a. No
two are alike. That is not Christ. But the church's
teaching concerning Christ is not Christ. The Christ of scripture
is David. That is the Christ. There is no physical
description of Jesus in scripture. There is a physical description
of David in scripture. And when he comes, you know
him instantly. There is no uncertainty as to who you're
looking at, and no uncertainty as to the relationship between
you and the one that you're observing. And then you
go back stand the next day and you search your
scriptures to find that it was always there. But he
is the anointed one. He is the christ One, He
is the chosen One. Rise and anoint him. This is he.
And then the spiritual Lord came upon him mightily from
that day forward. And so I have found David, and
with my holy oil I have annointed him. And David
then cried unto me, thou art my father. As I
told him in the beginning, he was my son. Here
is the relationship. While you would not know any eternity,
that God became you, actually became you, and that you
are permanly made one. But you will not know it
save with the coming of the person Christ. Not some immensity,
not some enormous glow of life, that would not convince
you that you are gods. It could not convince you
that you are the father of the Son of God.
All that power in the world could not convince you
that you are the father of the Son of God.
The sun has to appear, And when he appears, at
that moment, in the twinkle of an eye, you know
and exactly who you are, and all the darkness is gone.
And now you know, and you walk in the light, walk,
telling it to those who will hear it, and giving
reason to every one who asks you for a reason
for the hope that is in you. For it now
supported by scripture. Prior to that, you didn't find it,
and you are not encouraged to find it. For no
ministers I ever heard, no true teacher that I have
ever heard, has ever voiced it. I never found it
in a book that read. It was in the Bible,
but I didn't see it yet. But all the other
books that I read in my hungry search for the truth,
did not even breathe it. When I came to this
city back in nineteen forty five. The lady who met
me at the airport and brought me over the hotel,
and she posted didn't quite notice the time. So when
I came to the meeting, I was about almost at
the time to start talking. But the head of the
organization called me aside into his private office, and he
said to me, I've heard some very distressing things about you.
I said, like what he should? I have heard that
you do not treat the Bible as secular history. I said, no,
I do not. I had not yet received the vision
of the Son of God, but I knew the Bible
could be interpreted psychologically, for I had proven it day
in and day out, not only to my own satisfaction,
but those who heard and believe what I told them
day two changed their lives based upon my interpretation of scripture.
So he said to me, from my platform, you cannot
say anything that I heard that you were saying up
in San Francisco. I thanked him, as I will abide
by your decision tonight. I am your guest tonight. I
was addressing his alumni, and thereabout I would say five
hundred percent all graduates of his institution. And so I
spoke to the crowds who were there. But I told
him after the meeting, I did what you asked me
to do. As of tonight, I was your guest to
address those that you graduated as teachers. But beginning tomorrow night,
I am on my own. Will I speak in this
place or that place or any place? And then he
said to me, well, you're not going to give your
Bible class outside of you. I said, no, I came
to give everything under your offices. There is my agreement,
a verbal agreement between gentlemen. If you want to break it,
it's perfectly all right with me. He said no. I said,
where is the room where I'm going to speak? He
said that room there, And I said, well, that room
seats about forty people, doesn't it. He said, yes, that's
big enough. So you're charging forty dollars for five talks.
I am the head of the institution. I don't charge
more than twenty five for my talks. I said, what
we are different people. I am teaching the Bible as
I know it, not as others taught me to believe it,
and I am not going to speak in this place
that seats forty people. I came three thousand miles under
my own steam. I brought my wife, when I brought
my daughter, and I brought my niece at my own expense.
And I do not live in a hovel. I am
living in an excellent hotel, paying my own way, as
I paid my own way out of my own way back.
But I'm not speaking here. So he said to me,
if you don't speak here, you can't speak for me
at any place. That's perfectly all right, I said to
the lady who met me one of his students, go
out and rent me your place. I promise that man,
I'll give you forty percent of every penny that comes in,
and I will take sixty. I pay my own first expenses,
and he simply fourishes the hall. That's all, and for
Daddy gets forty. But I'm charging forty dollars for my
five talks to be given in one week Monday through Friday.
So she went out and rented the place. She only
paid I think ninety dollars for the five nights, and
two hundred and eight attended that class. She said to
me what must I do with the money? I said,
throw it in the ash. Can give me sixty percent
of that money, and that's all that I want, and
I don't care what you do with it. He did
nothing for me. He tried to rub me out. He
tried to stop me at the very door. And so
you can take the money forty percent, which will consider
a sum of money. You don't have to be a
great genius to multiply two hundred and eight by forty
and then take off forty percent. And her investment was
what ninety dollars, So she kept it and he went
through the ceiling. He wanted it, did everything to stop
me from doing it, and now you want it. No,
we have had our day together and that's it. And
so from then on I started coming on my own
and not under the auspices of anyone else. Just a
gentleman agreement between Fred and myself. For a few years,
I was afraid. And that's the story here. Paul did
the same thing. And Paul made the confession. What he
is talking about. He did not get it from a man.
He did not hear it, He wasn't taught it. And
it came through a revelation and the revelation was the
true meaning of Jesus Christ. And then he understood who
Christ really was, for he knew his scriptures. And the
only scriptures that Paul read was the scripture of the
Old Testament. There was no New Testament, for he had
to start it to write. And his book Galatians is
the first book of the New Testament. So the only
Testament he spoke of, or the only scripture, was the
Old Testament. And then he read into the Old and
a listen to his words. And when it pleased God
to reveal his son in me, I conferred not with
plession blood. It pleased God to reveal his son in me.
But he tells you first that he who sent me
apart before I was born, call through his grace. And
then it pleased him to reveal his son in me
before he was born. Paul is not speaking of any
physical birth before he was born from about. That's what
he's saying. These James versions that before he separated me
from the moon. No, he didn't separate you from that womb.
It is birth from above, of which he speaks, as
we are told in the Book of John. Except you
are born from above. You cannot enter the Kingdom of Evans.
Paul is speaking of that birth, and before that birth
took place in him, he was set apart. The same
thing happened in my case, before I experienced the birth
from above on the twentieth day of July nineteen fifty nine,
thirty years before, I was set apart and into the
divine concern, and when my name was checked off in
the register, then taken into the presence of the age
of the grace, God himself, his infinite love, is standing
as a person before me and say to embrace me.
Our body is fused. And I know from experience the
form of God is a living form, a forming form,
and anyone who is fused with it that actually forms
it into the image of God. That's the only way
that Christ could recognize as his father. You have actually
to be formed into that being. So the embrace that fusion,
because his body is a form in creative body. As
you fuse with it, it starts now forming you into
the image of himself. Then comes that one that is
born from about it is that one who encounters God's son,
and God's Son recognizes him now as Father. So though
God and man are permanently made. One man will not
know it save through the person Christ. And I say
a person advisedly, don't think of himself as some impersonal force.
He is not some impersonal force. It is a person.
And he is a youth, an eternal youth. And his
name is David. So when the poet wrote concerning David,
taking the Book of Samuel as his inspiration to write
the poem, he has David speaking now to the king
and telling the king as he said before the king alsoul,
a face like my face shall receive thee, and a
man like unto me, thou shalt love and be loved
by forever. A hand like this hand shall throw open
the doors of eternal life to thee. See the Christ stand,
he confesses. He is the Christ, the anointed that chosen
of God. The father. Saul could not see it. Saul
was a demented king, And Saul only symbolizes humanity who
has not yet encountered that revelation of the Christ as
a person. And he's not anything that you see hanging
on the walls, that you see all over the place.
He is the eternal youth. So beautiful you cannot described
the beauty of David, and so every attempt has been
made to put him into fall and put him into pictures.
You cannot were I an artist, and the thing remained.
Yet I can see him in my mind's eye. I
can see the love report from me to him as
I feasted on the beauty of my son. I can
see the feat that he accomplished with that severed head
of the enemy of Israel lying before me on a table.
I can see the entire drama now and poll before
me as it did that night on the morning of
the sixth of December nineteen fifty nine. So I tell
you the story is true, and I was not taught it.
I never heard it. It is not man's gospel. It
came to me through the revelation of Jesus Christ. So
here God actually became, You literally became. You say, I am,
that's the father, but you do not know he's the father,
and you will not in eternity know that he is
the father and you are the father. Or when you
say I am, you're not pointing on the outside. You
can say I am and mean anyone other than yourself.
You can say we are un included, but you can
say I am and point to anyone outside of yourself.
Yet you can say, I am still not know that
is God the Father. And you will not in eternity
know that is God the Father until the son appears.
And when he appears, the drama is over, the mystery
is over, it's all been solved. Or he stands before you,
and here you look into your son's face, and the
holding returns that God, at that moment succeeding in this purpose,
he actually gave himself to you. He never left you,
and therefore he cannot return. But there is a promise
of some divine person coming, and scoffers will come, and
there will scoff saying where is the promise of his coming?
But he comes in a way that no one knows.
He comes silently, He comes suddenly, like a thief in
the knight. So Christ comes to everyone as one unknown,
yet one who in the most ineffable manner, lets the
individual experience who he is. So when he comes to you,
you will experience not only who Christ is. I tell
you who's David, but your experience who you are. And
I tell you who you are. You're God the Father.
You are literally God the Father waiting for the coming
of the promise. And when the promise comes, is the
sun coming to reveal you? For he sets the father free.
And if the Sun has made you free, you are
free indeed. But no other one can set you free.
Today man thinks if I only had a fortune, I
would be free from the pressure. Did you read yester
morning's paper? Well, here is a man forty seven years old,
a personal fortune in excess of five billion dollars, not millions,
five billion. Now he blew his brains out, And they're
saying he was under pressure bringing about a huge merger
of many banks in Sweden, and the pressure was so
great that he couldn't stand the strain, and so he
blew his brains out. Five billion dollars did not stop
him from that act, and he had to do it.
He came in on Q and he departs on Q.
That was his moment in time, when he leaves the
stage into another sphere with five billions, all he could
think of would be more billions. How many more billions
do you want in the world? He had five billions
personal fortune, and others will think, but if I only
had some money, I will be set free. You're only
set free when the sun sets you free. You can
drop Dad here now as he did yesterday, with a
bullet in his head, and he is no more free
than he was one moment before he pulled the trigger.
You'll find himself in a world just like this. And
that's why repeat time and again. Live, so that mine
can store a pass worthy of recall. For the mind
whose contents vanished, it remains, but he suffers loss. He
will be saved, but only as through fire. So we
are passing through the furnaces, and we are moving from
one state to the other. Thinking now, if I only
had more of this, more recognition, more that it doesn't
work that way. I feel your presence here, and your
constant presence here assures me that you are fulfilled that
passage in the Book of Amos, in the eighth chapter,
I will send a famine upon the land. It will
not be a hunger for bread or a thirst for water,
but for the hearing of the word of God. But
a man is so hungry for the word of God
that not a thing at this work can satisfy that hunger,
but an experience of God. He's on the road and
there's no diversion. Let me now wait a little while
as a friend of mine said to me back in
nineteen twenty five in London, I said, Matt, his name
was Matthew. I said, Matt, why don't you become more
interested in things of this nature? For his father had
introduced me to the light of Asia and the mother
of a geisha, and things of that sort. He said, No,
I'm only twenty one, and when I get old enough
like my father, father's at fifty, when I get an
old man like my father, and I become interested then.
But I want to live, so I came back to
New York City. He went off to India as a
tea taster. A letter came from his mother about six
months later after he went to India, say that Matt died.
He caught some kind of fever, and then in no
time that Matt was gone. No, tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
He wasn't hungry. He wanted the things of this world.
He wanted all the things that well he got young
people should have. He wanted the sex world. He wanted money,
he wanted position, he wanted honor. All his ambitions realized.
But this no, that can take take its time. I
tell you, if you're so hungry that not a think
can di virtue that other think. This night hints you
to turn from it because the other seems more rosy.
Then you're on the road, and the hunger is there
not for these things that they offer, but for the
word of God. And what I have told you this
night is the word of God. For it did not
come to me in any other way save by revelation.
It was revealed to me. And I share it with
you just as it came to me. And when I
get confirmation in scripture, for that is a witness. The
Bible is a witness. Now the internal witness is my
own experience. And where two different ones agree in Testamon,
it is conclusive. So my inward testimony of the spirit
agrees with the outward testimony of the letter. So I
went back and I read the story. And here it
is stirring in the face in the second Psalm, and
David tells of the decree of the Lord, and he said,
unto me, thou art my son, today I have forgotten
thee Well, it was always there. And in the sixteenth
chapter of per Samuel, when he is looking for one
that he wants to make key, and they bring all
these before him are all these your sons. One more.
There is one more, but he's tending the flock. Go
and get him. He will not sit until he comes.
And as he comes in, the voice speaks to Samuel
the prophet, this is he. Rise and anoint him. And
then the spirit of God came mightily upon him from
that day forward. And so I tell you it's a person.
And you will not know if I am a person.
Don't give me a donkey as an offspring. I don't
we get donkeys or cats or things of that sort.
It's a person. I'm a person. If I am a father,
my son has to be a person. And it is
a person. It's not infinite light, and it is an
infinite power. Although that is said of the Christ. He
is the power of God, and he is the wisdom
of God. But the power is personified as that you,
and the wisdom is personified. So it's a person. And
so when David comes into your world, he reveals you
as God the Power. And yet while you will these
mortal dams, the flesh and blood, you are restricted until
that moment in time when you take it off for
the last time. Then you are one with the risen Lord.
But because He is in everyone, where are you going?
Is not the Kingdom of Heaven within? So where do
you think you're going to? Finally, I promise, as I
have done before I reveal myself, I have so far
to many, I will continue and when this thing comes off,
they will really be a revelation to those who have
heard and who have believed. Or I know where I'm going,
and yet I'm not going to go away from anyone,
because I can't get away from the being that I am,
and the being that I am is God. Well, if
God became all of us, where can I go? That
would be outside of you? And so now I am
near to you. But when I take this thing off,
I will never be sought near, or rather so far
away as even to be male, because nearness would imply separation.
And I can't be separated from you if I am
one with God and God is in you. So God
God actually became man that men may become God. So
when men discovers who he really is through the revelation
of the Sun, when he takes off the garment for
the last time, where is he but one with the
risen Lord. And if the risen Lord is in man,
then where does that man going to be? And so
I tell you I'll be not even there, for that
would imply that I am still something external. No, you
can't see God as you see objects in space. But
he knows who he is to his son, and there's
no other way of knowing him. Say you know him
through the sun, and so you will see me, but
you'll see me from within me. Listen to the words
of Fall, and when it please God to reveal his
son in me. The preposition is in is not to
me as some translations have it, but the actual preface
is in it please God to reveal his son in me.
And so that's where you're going to see him. But
he was seen to you as something external to yourself.
But you don't see self. You see yourself in your
son and the son who reveals you. So tell the
story as it really supposed to be told, and let
men walk in faith in hope that one day he
will encounter the son who reveals him as God. The
power sovia tells tex your hope fully upon the grace
that is coming to you. At the revelation of Jesus Christ,
how he said he saw love the world he gave
his only son. That's so, I tell you, is David.
If you read the words in the red letter edition,
these capacities are all in red letters. And yet they're
supposed to be the words of Christ. No spoken of him,
not by him. The evangelist is writing out. It's in
the third chapter of the Gospel of John begins with
the sixteenth verse. So I tell you, it's all about you.
The whole book is all about you. It's your biopathy
has told us in the fortieth Psalms. In the volume
of the book, it is all about me. I delight
to do thy will, Oh my Lord. Now here are
the words put into the mouth of Christ on the cross,
into thy hands, I commit my spirit. That's the thirty
first song. But the completed verse is this, after he
said into thy hands, I commit my spirit. It goes
on the state thou hast redeemed me, Oh Lord, faith
for God. That's the completed words. And these are the
words of Dating in the thirty first songs. Before who
is uttering them? Who is the Christ? In the sixteenth psalm,
he now makes the appeal to the Father, thou wouldst
not let my soul remain in hell, so he raises
them up. He actually raises them up with E you may.
I tell you it comes like an explosion. You come
to the end of the journey, the climax is brought
about by an explosion not of matter, but of mind.
Your whole mind explodes. And as it explos you find
yourself facing your son, and here is David. And not
for one moment is there any uncertainty as to who
he is and the relationship. And one second before you
did not know it. I was born from above and
did not know it. For the Birth from About took
place on the twentieth day of July of nineteen fifty nine,
and this was the sixth day of December nineteen fifty nine,
one hundred and thirty nine days later, I discovered I
didn't know because I was born from about, and thrilled
beyond leisure that it fulfilled scripture. The witnesses were there,
the tire rapt in spottling clothes. He was there, everything
was there, And yet I didn't know outside of the
fact I'm born from above. But I didn't know David.
I didn't know what part he played in the drama
to this extent, and I didn't know it was he
who revealed me as God the Father. But I know
today he and and he alone will reveal everyone as
God the Father, that is David. When we can find
people who can become so prejudiced with a false concept,
who can single out a race of people and try
to rouse them off the face of the earth. When
death is the message through which God spoke. That was
the message that came to the world. Is an eternal message,
and it's true. And so those who speak of another Christ,
they have the false Christ. Jesus is God the Father. Jesse,
who is called the father of David, means Jehovah exists.
So Jesse is simply the Lord himself, and his son
calls him father. And Jesse is any form of the
verb to be. In other words, are who is your father?
My father? Is Jesse the bethy mind? Your father is
Jesse the best and mine? Who are you the son
of Jesse the best of mind. I'm going to the
open cordalsiness to look at them up and you come
forward with the conclusion that it's there all along and
you didn't see it. If here was your son, and
because he was born so called born three thousand years
ago you turned the pages over. For that old stuff
means nothing to me to day. It has no bearing
on the fentieth century. Why it's forever, it never comes
to an end. Is forever and forever. The only way
that men could ever be readeemed is not through any
other way. There's no other way. I am the way,
I am the truth, I am the life, the only
true and living way, And there is no other way.
And yet morning, noon and night, they are all new
ways appearing on the surface. And new ISM's here, a
new ism. They're all kind of strait. Something that is
alive is not based upon reparation. There's simply people sitting
sitting down trying to work out some but they consider
a nice, pleasing philosophy of life. But I tell you
I've experienced it that I stand here. I did not
know until I experienced it. I was just as blind
as Paul. All went out to destroy everything it claimed
what Christianity claims. He consented under Stephen's death, stole him
to death, and in spite of that, he was chosen.
In spite of all that he did, he was the
one who was elected. He had all that it took.
He had the fire, he had that something, they would
face prisons and face anything. Rather than turn from the vision,
he kept the divine vision in time of travel. And
so he stood before King Agrippa, and it all came.
Why should it be thought strange that I have seen
the mass, seen the prison lord, seen the resurrection. Why
is it train that our people should think the resurrection
is false? But it's all taught in scripture, but they
didn't see it. If I am appealing to God the Father,
not to leave my soul in the pit, not to
leave me inhale, and then I could say a few
chapters later, thou hast redeemed me, Or then he knows
that he has been redeemed, for he saw the Father.
And if he saw the Father having died, well, then
he must be alive, and could say I am the
living Way, the true and living way. So you take
my word for it. I would not betray you, I
would not lead you as faith. I take my Bible seriously.
And the third chapter of the Book of James warns
men who would be a teacher that the judgment is
harder on him who would be the teacher, than on
any other person. For your want in the third chapter
of James, to be very fearful when you go out
to teach, you teach the truth, and don't bring in
any other thing outside of the truth as reveal. I'm
not speaking of mathematics, not speaking of any of these things.
I am as speaking of reveal truth in scripture. And
the story is there, but it must be repeated in
the individual. And everything said of him in the scripture
will one day be experienced by every one born a woman,
but each in his own good time. For as we
are told in the third chapter of Second Peter, when
they wonder about where this is coming, he said, they do
not know that a thousand years is as a day
in the eyes of God. So they're concerned about when
is he coming. And a thousand years is only one
day in the eyes of God. And so if you
have six thousand days or years of travel, it's only
six days before the image is completed. And you and
God are permany made one. And then comes the revelation
of the Son, who reveals you as God, and you
know you are permanently one. You are the father of
God's only son, and there's no other way that you
would ever know it. Now, let us go into the silence.
Kah m h m hm m. Are there any questions?
People question? UH that only you get the the UH
version of the Bible that you recommended and the accordance
which one which first don't know? Are the the the versions?
Well I take I have I have many Bibles at home,
and I use mostly the Revised Standard Version. I'm I
use James Trong's Concordance. I find that exhausted every word
in the course. It's based upon the King James version.
But it's easy to find the parallel in the Revised
Standard version. But that is based that is the concordance.
James Trong's Concordance uses the King James version as its guide.
But they take every word in the Hebrew, every word
in Greek, and they define the original meaning for you.
And you have me sometimes a dozen definitions, and you
can choose what you feel was the intention of the author,
or you can go along with what they did. But
I use the Revised Standard version most of the time.
But I have moppets I had for our penton Lightfoot
the New English Bible. I have so many Bibles, but
I find a daily I take my Revised Standard version
and read it a low. But if I do not
like a translation, I will see what another one did
or another one dates. And if I don't like any
of them, but for my concordance, and see what I
would have done if I had that opportunity. Now took
that statement in the Jeremiah, can a man bear a child?
Why then do I see every man with his hands
on his lawing like a woman in labor? For that
didn't satisfy me. I went from Bible to Bible. They
all almost give the same meaning. So I started a
search in the concordance. And the word that they translate
Loys is not that at all. But they could not
bring themselves to believe what the vision is actually stating.
How these are the words of the Lord. They've spoken
to his prophet Jeremiah, and he's asking, Jeremiah, can a
man bear a child? And he doesn't wait for the
answer from his prophet. He's answering, bru He said, why
then do I see every man with his hands drawing
himself out of himself just like a woman and labor.
If you take the Concordance and go through it, you'll
find that is the best translation of it. I see
him with his hands drawing himself out of himself, and
that's exactly what happened.
