Shedding of blood (dying to a state)

I AM the Resurrection and the Life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. —JOHN 11:25. The mystery of the crucifixion and the resurrection is so interwoven that to be fully understood the two must be explained together for one determines the other. This mystery is symbolized on earth in the rituals of Good Friday and Easter. You have observed that the anniversary of th

Now this is what you do. There is a death involved but it is not the kind of death that men call death. There is a death – there is a radical change of state of mind. You completely give up the belief that you are not living in such a place. That is irrational. But that is what you are called upon to do, to completely deny the evidence of your senses and to boldly assume that you are already in th

obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.” … Jeremiah 18:8, 9, 10 This statement of Jeremiah suggests that a commitment is involved if the individual or nation would realize the goal – a commitment to certain fixed attitudes of mind. The feeling of the wish fulfilled is a necessary condition in mans search for the goal. The story I am about to te

But no matter how she tried to argue against it, the feeling persisted that my interpretation gave meaning to the mystery of re-birth by “water and blood.” The teacher decided to accept the challenge. And this is what she did. She brought the child’s face before her mind’s eye and saw her smile. She listened and imagined she heard the girl say “Good morning”. This was something the student had ne

“In Christ there is neither Greek nor Jew, bond nor free, male nor female. “You must leave father, mother, brother and follow me. To accomplish this you must stop identifying yourself with these divisions, By becoming indifferent to such claims. Indifference is the knife that severs. Feeling is the tie that binds. When you can look upon man as one grand brotherhood without distinction of race, cre

Tonight’s subject is “Binding and Loosing.” It may be an odd title, but you’ll find it a very practical one. When we open the Bible, we are in the midst of mystery. But I promise you, every one of you, everyone in the world will one day experience scripture for himself; and then and only then will he know how truly wonderful it really is. It’s all true. Don’t change it. Don’t attempt to change it.

Now we are told, when man really discovers it, it is the blood of Christ Jesus that must be shed. Well, how could I shed the blood of Christ Jesus? Yet I am told, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin; therefore, what is sin now? Sin is “missing the mark.” If I have a goal in life and I do not realize it, I am sinning. I don’t care what the world will tell me, it’s the one s

For she didn’t have the virtue of mercy when she actually aided in the destruction and death of her husband, through a passion that she wanted to, I would say, appease. And so, she certainly was not merciful, she was not one of pity, she was not one of love, and so, he asked her to assume a virtue if she had it not. What virtue? Well, he didn’t name it for her. He allowed her to select the virtue

A lady called me yesterday morning to thank me for something she’d asked of me on the morning of the 29th of December when I spoke to Dr. Palmer. She asked me for a certain something, and it was, would I please release her from this problem. And so, in my Imagination I simply assumed that she had called and told me of the good fortune or the good news which she called yesterday morning. But then s

But before it comes to you individually, you can take this marvelous revelation and try it on this level. So you are commissioned to go into the world and forgive sin. If you retain it, it’s retained; if you forgive it, it’s forgiven. And whatever you forgive is forgiven. So try it. Start this very night trying to forgive sin, by starting with yourself first. Look at yourself this very night, and

Q: (inaudible) A: ___(??) is the story of sacrifice, where animals were sacrificed, and the high priest would go into the Holy of Holies once a year, where he had to repeat the sacrifice of this blood…where the sacrificial story of Christ is not repeated (Heb. 9:3). In depth, when Christ actually awakes in man he enters into a place already prepared for him. For Christ in man is awakened. In that

So you repose on it, you sleep on it. You sleep every night on I AM, don’t you? Who goes to bed and who gets out of the bed? You say, “Well, I am getting out of bed, I’m going to bed.” Well, repose on it. For when you go to bed at night, you repose on God and you sleep on God. And the day will come, that morning of the grave when the grave is opened, and you awake. Who’s awakening? You say, “Well,

How could I tell anyone to persuade that individual that the day will come, you will taste of the power of the age to be before you enter it? Here is a tasting of that power. You come upon a scene just like this. You are in Spirit, no one sees you, but you are more real to yourself than anyone that’s visible to you. They’re all within range of your sight, but they’re not as real as you feel yourse

But at the base of it, here is a living molten pool of gold, and I know it is myself. Am I that molten gold? I knew it, I am it. As I knew I am it, I fused with it, and then quickly, in one flash, I went up like a serpent—that is the motion I made—right up into my skull, into the sanctuary, into the Holy of Holies. So the blood of God I knew to be myself. We are told in scripture the life is in th

He departed possibly wondering to what extent was he heard. And then he returns to reap the harvest, and to plant again; for the word also means “the sower who sows the seed,” and the seed is the Word of God. He comes and he sows the word, returns and reaps the harvest, and then he sows again, one being. Because no matter who comes, his name tomorrow may be by some other name, but he will be simpl

Tonight’s subject is “Bloodshed.” In the Hebrew language, the word bloodshed denotes both murder and humiliation. You can take it in either manner. The Bible takes it both the shedding of the blood and being humiliated. We’re told in the 53rd chapter of Isaiah, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” (Is.53:1). Then we read in Ephesians, “Though he was in

Now, let me give you something tonight to put your mental teeth into. On the way down tonight, I casually mentioned it to my friends who brought me here. My friend David drove us down and Jack and Grace and my wife. I had no intention of mentioning it tonight, but my wife said, “You know, that should be told.” Well, quite a while ago, a friend of mine who is here tonight, he said, “I had this expe

Now what ends it in the washing? This is the washing: The great event that takes place when man is split from top to bottom, as I’ve tried to tell it in my work called Resurrection. As he is split from top to bottom, he sees the pool of golden liquid light and he knows it is himself. He actually knows what he is looking at; yet he’s an observer looking at something seemingly other than himself, bu

So I will call with his name. Well, do I say, O dear I AM, make me rich? No, I say, I am rich. Do I say, O I AM, make me known? No, I say, I am known. Were I known, would the world see me? Well then, walk as though they did, just as though they did if that’s my desire. It’s my desire to be…and you name it. Well then, call with the name by assuming that you are it. That is walking in the name…just

There is not a thing in this world for anyone to do but to fulfill scripture. To sit in the highest office in the world of Caesar, that may satisfy you and your family for a moment but it will sour, it will tire. You will maybe out last the job and become dotty. So I am told that our President Wilson the last two years of his life wasn’t here at all. People knew it, but they could not let you and

Now, when I take the whole Bible and I try to find out what did he see, what did he hear, let me take nothing for granted, for these are written in Hebrew and written in Greek. And not being the scholar of either, I must turn to an exhaustive concordance, like Strong’s, that will give me the original meanings of the words used. Then, take no scholar’s interpretation for granted, go back and see ex

So, no other blood saves you; that moment in time when you are split from top to bottom and the pool of blood is revealed, that living golden light. But it comes nine months after your spiritual birth. Is that not a lamb? Isn’t that a child? You’re born on a certain day and nine months later comes that terrific blow that splits you in two from top to bottom. So, I am speaking only of the spiritual

But those who do not believe in it, they sit in judgment and here they are dreaming war as this man Shoup said. Read it…if you haven’t the story it’s available…it’s the current issue. And you stand there as you read the six pages and you wonder what on earth is taking place? If a layman wrote it, all well and good; but this is not a layman, this is General David M. Shoup, Commandant of the Marine

So where is he? Is it not true, as told us in Colossians, it is “Christ in you that is the hope of glory”? (1:27). And what is the glory? He glorifies the Father and he actually is the Father. He said, “Return unto me now the glory that was mine, the glory that I had with thee before that the world was” (Jn. 17:5). I’m going back to pick up where I left off. But in that horrible experience coming

I urge you to seek the kingdom of God, for when you do, you come into a power unknown to mortal man. All of the atom bombs in the world cannot compare to the power you are destined to fall heir to. You will possess a power that can still the world. But you will never know this power without love. With this power, unrestrained, you would still a nation, face its inhabitants toward the ocean, and pu
