And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). God’s peace beyond all human understanding is furnished to the children of God. Through Jesus, God’s peace will keep your hearts and minds. It all depends on how much you accept Jesus. If you accept all of Him, all of Heaven’s greatness is available to you.

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy (Acts 2:16-18). Peter, on the Day of Pentecost, received his baptism in the Holy Ghost, setting him aflame for the Lord. He took on the fiery tongue of the Holy Spirit. Remember, Peter, overtaken by fear, had failed the Lord when Jesus was arrested and crucified. Now after the Resurrection, after receiving the Holy Ghost, Peter, with an obedient heart is standing up, facing the multitude that had hated Jesus so much they clamored for His death. No longer is Peter afraid.

Reaching back to the writings of Joel the prophet, Peter cries that the outpouring of the Spirit they are witnessing was prophesied by Joel. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel. This is not what you think it is, Peter proclaims. We’re not drunken. Why, it’s still morning! This is that which the Lord told Joel about.

Today, over 2,500 years after Joel’s prophecy, we are seeing the downpour of the Holy Spirit. The same power, the same Spirit that Joel spoke of is being poured out. Peter identified it; and now about 2,000 years later, I identify it, and I am crying: This is that which Joel prophesied; this is that which fell on the day of Pentecost. The Lord has sent me with a tongue of fire to declare this is that which was spoken by the prophet. This that we have today is the power of the Holy Spirit bubbling on the inside; this is that which they received at Pentecost. This is that which made a strong warrior of Simon Peter. This is that which enabled a handful of followers to evangelize the known world in a short period of time, thirty-some years. This is that! In finding out all that we have from Heaven, we recognize this is that.

Noah’s Faith Is Our Faith Today

Go back to Noah’s day, to a divine plan that let him know destruction was coming. The Lord gave Noah eyes to see it and a heart to believe it. Moved with great godly fear, he made preparations to save his whole family.

We’re moved with the same godly fear through the same godly faith. The faith Noah had, we have today, faith to be caught up in our Ark of Safety, Jesus Christ. Thank God, we have found our Ark of Safety! We don’t have to build an ark that will float; the plan of God for us is different than it was for Noah; but it takes the same faith—God’s faith—to fulfill His plan.

We’re evangelizing the world, bringing the lost into the Ark of Safety throughout the whole earth. We’re declaring there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Thank God for Jesus, for the power of Him, for the right we have as children of God to use His divine name! It’s the greatest privilege on planet Earth. We have the name of Jesus to use, the authority from Heaven to use it; all Heaven backs up that name.

Every bit of God’s power is provided through the name of Jesus. Even children can speak that name in faith, and God moves. The name is Jesus. We say, “Father, in the name of Jesus I come,” and the door to His throne room swings wide open.

That same faith of long ago that Noah had, the faith that made him a success in the Lord, is this faith we have today. It’s not another faith; it’s the same faith. As the family of Noah moved to fulfill God’s plan, the dedicated of the family of God are moving today. The eight souls of Noah’s family were the only ones God had on planet Earth in that day. The same determination, the same devotion that Noah gave to his God—that which he had—we have. That is this. Nothing discouraged Noah from performing his work.

If you are discouraged today, study brother Noah. His determination and dedication are inspiring. Over one hundred twenty years he preached, and no one outside the family listened. In those times we sink into pools of despair, we must know that the faith of Noah can be ours today to pull us out. That which he had is this we have. It worked for him, and it will work for us. It’s the same faith, the same love, the same determination, the same compassion, devotion, the same peace, the same everything.

Connected with Heaven

The family of Noah was connected with Heaven; that’s where they received their strength. People didn’t give them strength; God gave it to them, mighty strength that enabled a few people to build an incredible ark. I doubt that anyone but the family of Noah drove a peg into that ark or filled any of the cracks with pitch. God wouldn’t have wanted it.

The world won’t be a part of the outpouring of His Spirit; it will be the family of God, His devoted family. The Bride of Christ will bring people throughout the whole world to the foot of Calvary to be saved in this final hour.

God has a plan for each member of the body of Christ, and we must use His plan. That plan of Noah’s was the plan of God, and this plan we have is the plan of God. That which he had is this we have today, the plan of God. It’s all laid out. We have only to carry out God’s plan, and everything will work out right.

Don’t look to see how others will obey God. Noah and his family obeyed God and the work was accomplished. With thee will I establish my covenant, the Lord told Noah (Genesis 6:18). It took only one family of eight in obedience to God to carry out the plan of God.

Father of the Faithful

Abraham displayed such magnificent faith that he is called Father of the Faithful. Thousands of years ago, God made a covenant with him. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee (Genesis 17:7). God is keeping that covenant with Abraham’s seed, the Israelites. Never will He forget it or let it slide.

Such faith Abraham had! Nothing could stop him when the Lord told him to offer Isaac, his beloved son, for a sacrifice. Sarah wasn’t included; she didn’t have that kind of faith. Abraham started out with Isaac to fulfill the Lord’s instructions. The two young men who accompanied them partway were told to wait while Abraham alone took Isaac to the mount to sacrifice him. By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac; and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure (Hebrews 11:17-19). Abraham had so much faith he believed if he killed Isaac that God would raise him from the dead. Why? Because of God’s covenant promise of a nation through that seed, and Abraham knew that seed could not be destroyed. From that seed would come One who would be slain and resurrected for the salvation of all.

The Faith of Abraham Is Ours

What will it take to make the miracle of the Resurrection living reality? What will it take to bring people to life in God? It will take the faith from On High, the same faith that Abraham had. Will God give the faith of Abraham? Yes, He will.

The faith of Abraham is our faith today. Abraham believed in the Resurrection. This faith we have is that faith of Abraham. It belongs to the children of God. It’s not a strange faith, not a different faith; it’s the faith of Almighty God for His children to use today. We can declare it with the blood-stained banners of love flying high. It’s the same faith, the same faith, the same faith! That is this and this is that. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

God put the story of Abraham in the Bible to be a living witness of what the faith and love of God will do in one man’s obedient heart.

When Abraham was seventy-five years old the Lord told him to move away from his family. Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing (Genesis 12:1,2).

With that devotion of Abraham, the Early Church left family and home behind. Take the whole world, but give me Jesus, was their cry. The faith of Abraham was the faith of God, the same faith the Bride has today. The Early Church put everything on the altar. Loved ones disowned them. Family members had some Christians put to death, arrested. But the faith that Abraham had was entrenched in their hearts. Abraham had it; the Early Church had it, and now we have it. It’s wonderful to know we have it! Nothing could stop them; nothing can stop us because we have that faith; this is that. Tell your soul this is that. When you read of the faith of the saints of God, decide you have the same faith. Our faith is not something new, this is that.

Joseph’s Faithfulness Saved His Family

Joseph was determined to be obedient to the Lord. Sold into slavery and cast into prison, he suffered many injustices. The devil tried to destroy him. Joseph didn’t pine about his sufferings; he was faithful to the Lord, and that faithfulness saved him and his whole family in time of need.

We can take a great lesson from Joseph; we have the same spirit of humility available to us that Joseph used. Think of the lonely years Joseph endured, separated from home. His father had loved him greatly, given him a coat of many colors that later was shown to him torn and bloody. His father thought Joseph was gone, eaten by a wild animal. No, Joseph had gone into the will of God, gone into Egypt to prepare a place of safety for his family in time of great famine.

One Man Carried Out God’s Will

The years passed. Joseph was second in command next to Pharaoh; God had made Joseph a god to Pharaoh. God had a great plan, and He used just one man to carry out that plan. When God moves on you in this hour, don’t say you’re just one person, you can’t be a part of what He wants; you can help take this Gospel to the whole world. This that we have is that which Joseph had, that which God used to make a Joseph. This is that and that is this.

Study that, the way God could use a yielded Joseph, and yield to God in the manner of Joseph. Understand this which you have received from On High so you will know how to use this as you recognize this to be that. No longer fighting discouragement, no longer thinking about what you have to go through, you will let your mind dwell on the success God will have through you and the blessings He will reap through you, the blessing you will become to those whom you love.

A Price to Pay

There is a price to bring in lost loved ones. What price are you willing to pay? Think of the horror of being betrayed by one’s family and sold into slavery! Would you pay the kind of price Joseph paid—slavery, imprisonment, suffering? At tremendous cost he saved his family. When the day came that his brothers, in search of grain, stood before Joseph in Egypt, they did not recognize him. Not making it easy for them, Joseph tested them in a way that pricked their consciences. They said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us (Genesis 42:21).

Finally the time came for Joseph to reveal to his brothers the real identity of this great man who was saving their families from starvation. And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt (Genesis 45:4-8).

The Forgiving Spirit

What a forgiving spirit Joseph had! Few would have been so kind; many would have inflicted vengeance. Joseph certainly had that opportunity and the power. But he forgave. He forgave them for wanting to kill him, for turning deaf ears to his pleas and tears, for their callousness and lies to his father. Although they had brought great grief and sorrow to him and his father, Joseph had the same kind of forgiving spirit the Man of Galilee many years later was to display. It was not another spirit but the same spirit. That which Joseph had, Jesus had. That which Jesus had, the Early Church had. That which the Early Church had, we have today: this is that.

Draw from the Wells of Salvation

The Lord began to take me back into the Scripture, showing me what that was so we can all understand it and draw from it. The Scripture is our great, deep well, many hundreds of years in the digging. You will never drain it dry; you could more quickly drain all the oceans by dipping out water in a thimble. The more you take from the well of living water, the more it springs up into life everlasting. Life, life, life bubbles and gushes forth from the well of salvation. Come to this well! will be the cry of the Bride in this final hour. This that we have is that that Jesus brought and taught.

Will Deliverance Come?

Let’s go again to Egypt. Now the picture is dark, dark. The seed of Abraham is in bondage. They had started out well. The Bible tells us that the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour (Exodus 1:7,8,14).

Years before the Children of Israel went into bondage, the Lord had promised their father Abraham that He would deliver them. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance (Genesis 15:13,14). After four hundred years, the Israelites had difficulty believing they would be delivered. The story had been told until it seemed just a myth. Could anyone believe it? So few believed that it would take many signs and wonders to convince the rest.

So it has been in our day—such a long time since Jesus was here on Earth. Just like the slaves in Egypt had such difficulty believing deliverance was at hand, that the deliverer in the form of Moses was going to lead them out, many today doubt that Jesus will soon come to deliver His obedient children.

God’s Plan Floated on the Nile

What a wonderful vessel Moses was! Through that one vessel God poured a great anointing to serve the people. Observe again what God did with one vessel, and know that is this which God is pouring out today.

Moses mother hid him for three months after he was born, and when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink (Exodus 2:3).

I spent a night by the Nile River; my balcony overlooked the river’s edge. Standing under the stars, looking at the dark waters, I thrilled to think I was at the river that had cradled Moses on his way to fulfill the call of God. Moses…I could see him in that little ark on the Nile, and something leaped within my heart, a lump came into my throat. Oh God, how precious are your ways! How wonderful to think on His plan as the moonlight kissed the water that so long ago had witnessed such wonders in the life of Moses! It must seem to God like only yesterday since it all happened: a little ark containing a treasure made out of pure clay, a baby. Man looking on the scene would not have recognized the value of that vessel of clay.

Moses didn’t look like much hidden in a basket among the reeds of the Nile. Who ever would have thought such a tiny baby years later would do so much damage to the kingdom of Pharaoh! God used Moses to destroy a whole army. Who could have pictured such power coming through that little child when he was grown? God knew the potential; His plan floated on the Nile and was put into action some eighty years later.

Just One Excuse Brought Grief

We’ve all made excuses along the way; Moses did at first when the Lord said to him, I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt (Exodus 3:10). God showed Moses miracles. His rod, remember, changed into a serpent, and when Moses caught it by the tail it turned into a rod again. He put his hand into his bosom, pulled it out and his hand was leprous, white as snow. The second time he put his hand into his bosom, it came out whole as his other flesh. Still Moses found an excuse to not do as the Lord directed: O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses (Exodus 4:10,13,14).

Oh, if only Moses hadn’t spoken to God that way! Be careful what you tell God. Don’t make excuses; make a statement: “God, you’ll have to help me!” God sent Aaron to Moses, and Aaron turned out to be a burden, especially when he teamed up with sister Miriam. And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses (Numbers 12:1). Moses had a pair that fought him part of the way. And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it (verse 2). And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow (verses 9,10).

For seven days and nights the Israelites had to remain in one place while they waited for Miriam’s miracle. Aaron and Miriam thought God could pray through them as well as through Moses; but when they were in trouble they didn’t pray for themselves. They called on Moses. And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb. And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee (Numbers 12:11-13).

Moses was very humble; he had the humility that Jesus later brought to planet Earth for the whole body of Christ. Jesus brought all that we find great in the Old Testament days.

The Lord healed Miriam, but it didn’t take all the rebellion out of her. Think how many people she stirred up against Moses, God’s servant. What a stumbling block one person can be in the work of God! Miriam and Aaron were certainly not the only problems. Again and again the Israelites rebelled, backed away from the promise of deliverance. The least thing could make them doubt. Again and again they turned on Moses, hating him, blaming him for their problems.

With great humility, Moses bore his burdens. This humility of Moses is that which Jesus brought, that forgiving spirit. Moses never displayed arrogance, never was puffed up in the position God placed him in. That is this we have today, the reason we walk humbly before the Lord, knowing we are made of the dust of the earth.

The Word Swallows Unbelief

Oh Lord, how will you accomplish such miracles today? How will you manifest yourself? This that we have is that that Moses had. Let’s see how God worked through Moses. He gave Moses a rod. The Bible is our rod, a rod of truth, a rod of faith that swallows up the other rods.

Moses lifted his rod, remember, and miracles took place. As we lift our rod of promise, the Word of God, miracles take place—this is that! This is that power, the rod of power that Moses used. Miracles, miracles, miracles will destroy more and more doubt in the hearts and minds of people. Many will come to know that the day of redemption is almost theirs, the day of deliverance is fast approaching.

We saw it happen in Africa; we saw the Word swallow up unbelief like a huge, hungry monster. I’ve never witnessed anything quite like it. The Word was so powerful one night it destroyed unbelief, destroyed faith in idol gods. So much doubt was swallowed up that a few services later in that same place 29,477 were baptized in the Holy Ghost in a few minutes. At Pentecost about 120 received the Holy Ghost—this is that and that is this which the Bible said would be poured out in the last days.

God gave everything so that He could do this for the human race; He gave his very Son. How marvelous to know the Lord will do so much for each of His yielded children!

Faith to Stay the Hand of Death

In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live (Isaiah 38:1). When Hezekiah received the news, did he send for physicians? He knew if God said he was going to die, there was no need to go to man for help.

Hezekiah went to the one who had delivered the message to the prophet; he went straight to God. Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore (Isaiah 38:2,3). He had been perfect in God’s love, loving God all the time. “Oh, God,” he was saying, “I want to live!” Although Isaiah, that precious prophet of God, had just delivered a message of death, Hezekiah’s prayers changed God’s verdict. God honored Hezekiah’s request.

Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down (Isaiah 38:4-8). Fortunately Isaiah knew the voice of the Lord. He wasn’t confused when the Lord sent him back to Hezekiah with a contradicting message. Having told the king he was going to die, Isaiah then told him he would live another fifteen years. Isaiah knew neither message was a mistake. God had answered prayer. It pays to know the voice of God; in fact you must know the voice of God in this last hour. If not, you will be confused.

Think how you would feel had God told you that you were going to die. You’d pray earnestly, “God, I want to stay here until the Rapture takes place! God, I want to do your work. I want to help bring in the harvest.” Then God would measure you out fifteen more years. Is that fanaticism? No. This God we have is the God who healed Hezekiah. That faith, that obedience of Hezekiah, is what we have today. This is that faith and obedience that brings miracles, deliverance, healing. Nothing can stop you when you have this and recognize it as that. You will come out of all the valley, delivered, set free.

Don’t look at your failing body and think about death; if you are a real child of God, you are preparing to live an eternity. Get ready for a miracle. Call up Heaven. Tell the Lord you want to stay here to work for Him—if you want to be a witness to help bring in the final harvest. It’s a lot of work; it would be easier to go on to Heaven. Think it over.

The Lord will be proud if you want to stay here to work for Him. He is always looking for two more hands. Every time He finds them He rejoices; He is delighted, for He sees more souls coming into the Kingdom. God knows what two hands did in obedience one day as they hung between earth and heaven. Two hands used by divinity, by the divine power of God, brought salvation to a lost world. Two hands freed man from bondage, redeemed him from slavery, opened the prison houses of sin. All mankind who want to be set free can be delivered.

The Holy Spirit Is Pouring Out Today

The Early Church received the first part of the rain of the Holy Spirit, and we are receiving the latter rain, the greater rain. God will be unlimited in His greatness toward the Bride because she will put no limitation upon Him. She will not shorten His arm to move. At all times the Bride will know nothing is impossible with God. He can reach every human being on planet Earth. His promises are given with power, with the Spirit and life of the living God. Treasure them as eternal promises, for they are given by the eternal God with all the strength of eternity. Every promise in the Word of God has the strength of eternity. How marvelous it is that this is that and that is this!

Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:25-27). In the past, God has had to wait on people, but now in this final hour, He is bringing the Bride together in a beautiful way. To be a member of the bridal company is special, a holy vessel of honor. The past is over; today is a new day. You have entered into the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. Step forward, yielding completely to His will, His plan, His blood, to His every wish.

Sanctified Vessels

God’s people are cleansed, made holy through His mighty power. Holy, yielded vessels, the Bride is serving Him in every way He wants.

How wonderful that the Bride has been so yielded and cleansed by the blood of Jesus that the Master can use any vessel He wants to pour out any blessing! These vessels—the Bride—will be ready at all times in this final hour. Many vessels will make up the Bride, every one of them pure and clean.

Treasure the fact you are a vessel of His. Not a vessel of gold and silver, merely a vessel of clay—but all His—sanctified for the Master.

The Lord wants vessels of clay. Vessels of gold and silver are unimportant to the Lord; He has no trouble with precious stones. He only has to speak to bring them into existence. But God can’t speak vessels of clay into action, for God has given them free will. With free will, the human race has tied the hands of God.

Every vessel is an individual to be dedicated, consecrated, given for the Master’s use, for His need. That vessel must willingly surrender itself to God in order for Him to take it over. He won’t take it by force.

When a vessel is first yielded to the Master, it comes with cracks, chips, holes. Nothing worthwhile can be served in it; but through His own blood, the nail-riven hands of Jesus take the yielded clay and make a beautiful vessel out of it. God’s eye is perfect; it sees a flaw. Smash! The vessel is broken into pieces. God then takes it, rolls it into a ball of clay again and forms it anew on the potter’s wheel. Carefully, patiently He works.

So it’s been year after year, getting the Bride ready for this great hour. The wheel is spinning night and day, vessels crushed, vessels reshaped, vessels inspected with the eye of the Lord. No blemish can get past that eye. When it seems we have reached as far as we can go with God, that all-knowing eye sees a crack in the finish, and the vessel is broken to be remade better, stronger.

Years ago the Lord showed me this. He said, “I’ll mold you; I’ll make you; I’ll break you; and I’ll mold you, and I’ll make you, and I’ll break you. I’ll mold you, and I’ll make you, and I’ll break you.” It went on like that for what seemed an eternity. I’ll never forget that night. I cried and cried. When I stopped crying, the words were still rolling on: “I’ll mold you, make you and break you.”

That’s the way the Lord must deal with all His children in this last hour. Mold us, make us and break us until each yielded member of the bridal company will be without spot, wrinkle or blemish—holy in the eyes of the Lord.

The Midnight Cry

Remember the Israelites in bondage? Suddenly they departed from Egypt. They left in haste. They were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual (Exodus 12:39). Taking unleavened bread, they had no time to let it rise, no time to wait for anything. The cry went forth to leave, and they went.

Today we, too, are listening for the midnight cry; it’s almost time to leave this earth. The miracles and healings are becoming greater and greater. This is that outpouring of the Spirit that will change the Bride in a twinkling of an eye! At the midnight cry we will be leaving here. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:51,52). No time to work anymore when the trumpet sounds, we will go as we are. No time to pack, no time to prepare further; it’s time to leave.

Like brother Elijah crossed River Jordan for the last time, we have just one more river to cross. Elijah struck the waters, and the power of God separated the waters to the left and right. Moses lifted up the rod of God’s Word. Lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea (Exodus 14:16). The Israelites went through the Red Sea dry shod. The separating day is coming again. The Lord will separate us from time into eternity. He will separate the waters of our Red Sea, and we will cross into Glory shouting the praises of God as we rise in the air. Hallelujah, hallelujah to King Jesus!

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord (I Thessalonians 4:16,17). It’s goodbye world, goodbye sorrows, heartaches! Heaven, here we come, a mighty army carrying blood stained banners! We have won because that is this and this is that! Blessed be the name of the Lord!

The Lord manifested Himself in a great way to prepare the Israelites to leave Egypt, and once again He is manifesting Himself in a great way. The miracles will become greater and greater to plant faith in the people for Jesus’ soon appearing in midair. He is working to prepare people for His great appearance. Jesus won’t come all the way to Earth but will be suspended in the air and draw His Bride to Him. It will take the power of the Holy Ghost working inside you to change you in a moment and twinkling of an eye. You won’t be changed from the outside but from the inside. It will be according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20). That burst of power through the Holy Ghost that dwells within will change the Bride in an instant. This is that power that took Jesus into the clouds after the Resurrection, the same power, the same Holy Ghost.

Do You Know Jesus?

If you don’t know Jesus, say the sinners’ prayer with me now: Oh, God, I am so sorry that I sinned against you, but I have come home. I’m going to serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. I believe that Jesus died for me, and I will live for Him. I believe His shed blood will wash away my sins, all of my sins. Come on in, Jesus! Come into my heart!

If you meant that prayer, Jesus has come into your heart; He is yours. Start reading your Bible, praying, fasting and dining with the Lord daily, and you will grow in Him. Then one day all Heaven will be yours.

God Is Still Healing Today

You who are sick and afflicted, the power that healed those in Bible days is the same power that is healing today. This power is that power Jesus had when He walked the shores of Galilee. This is that that Jesus used to give a blind man sight. This is that which Peter and John had as they healed the man at the Gate Beautiful in the name of Jesus. This is the reason the crippled can walk and the blind can receive their sight. This is that and that is this. It can’t be separated.

If you need healing, believe in all faith. Lord, I bring the people to you today for healing. We know this is that which you used when you were here on planet Earth as you healed all manner of sicknesses and diseases. In the name of Jesus I pray, as the servant of the Living God. From His supernatural gifts of miracles and healing it comes through the power of the Holy Ghost. Heal, in the holy name of Jesus! Heal, in the all-powerful, mighty name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God!

The healing power is flowing; let it flow into you. Be thou made well. This is that that Jesus said would be used—His power—through a believer, and He would heal. The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up (James 5:15). This is that and that is this; God’s miracle power that worked yesterday is the same power bringing miracles in this last and final hour just before the coming of the Lord.
