But the Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is to come according to Matthew the seventeen-…Luke 17:30, says the Son of man is to reveal Himself among His people. Not a man, God! But it’ll come Through A Prophet.

Now, Jesus promises here that in the last days the Son of man will be revealed again to that same type of group, the royal Seed of Abraham, just before the fire falls. Remember, the church never received any more witness, Abraham and them didn't, the promised son that they were looking for was brought right away after that. And the church is looking for the Promised Son, He will come right after the days of this ministry, He'll be revealed from the heavens.

Notice, the Word come to the prophet in this dispensation of grace, in the water (uh-huh). I thought you'd catch it (uh-huh). In the water! The first revelation of the Word was in the water. Now you see where the Bride started, the Evening-light Message? In the water! The Word, true Word not mixed up with creeds, but come to the prophet in the water, by the water.

And that's the way with a real Christian. Did you know a real Christian doesn't have even any sin at all imputed to him? David said, “Blessed is the man who God will not impute sin to.” When you're washed in the Blood of the Lamb (not by make-belief, but really the—the Blood of the Lamb), God does not impute to you anything that's done, because you're under the Blood and He doesn't see it. There's a Blood sacrifice; the only thing He can see you in, is the way He saw you before the foundation of the world when He put your name in the Lamb's Book of Life. That's all He can look at, because you are redeemed from everything that was ever done, you're washed in the Blood of the Lamb.

My action, and the vindication of God's Word in my life shows whether I'm a child of God or not.

You give me this—this church tonight, this group of people, perfectly, perfectly in the promise of God, with the Holy Ghost, walking in the Spirit, I challenge any disease or any affliction, or anything that there is, every Joe Lewis there is in the country, with all of his infidelity, and all of the unbelievers that there is, to bring any sickness or affliction in this door, and they'll walk out of here perfectly whole. Yes, sir. God gave the promise, only sin of unbelief can keep it away.

I pledge, this morning, to Him, with all my heart, that, by His help and by His grace, I pray that I'll seek daily, without ceasing, until I feel every one of these requirements flowing in this little old stature of mine, till I can be a manifestation of the living Christ.

“But a Body has Thou prepared Me,” a Body that God can dwell in, God can walk in, God can see in, God can talk in, God can work in. Amen! Living instrumentality of God, God walking on two feet, in you. Glory! Glory!

We used to call it, at home, a popcorn testimony. Now, how many knows what popcorn is? I want to tell you what it does. You take a little yellow grain, and lay it on a hot stove, and it jumps way up in the air yellow, turns white, comes back twice its size and half as light, half as heavy, rather, as it was. It's a testimony. See? That's what a testimony does. A little yellow, afraid to do anything, and then, the first thing you know, the power and fire of the Holy Ghost hits you and it turns you white, from yellow. And you feel so light, you just, see, you're not anchored to the earth anymore. So I like the popcorn testimony.

Well, there's got to be God then somewhere, that's putting that desire in your heart to desire that. And if He has put that desire there, then there's got to be something out there to fulfill that desire that you got. Do you see? The deep calling to the deep… And somewhere out here, someday you'll find out, and we're all going to see it, that God's going to have a church that's going to break into that yonder, brother, and all them marvelous things that once belonged into the Church of the living God that's been throwed aside, is going to stand on its feet someday and take a journey up through the sky.

Now, many times… If there was anybody that should be equipped to have faith, is a scholar of the Bible, someone who has read the Bible, taught the Bible. That should be the person that has faith. But sometimes it's very much contrary. I've seen on the platform sainted people who lived a good life, walking before God, walk across the platform and not be healed; and a prostitute follow them and be healed. God doesn't heal you upon the merits of your salvation; He heals you upon the merits of your faith. You must believe Him. Because the Christian sometimes thinks that God owes it to them, that “I'm a good person; I've done so and so.” When you get that in your mind, you'll never get anything from God till you get it out of your mind. You owe God, not God owing you.

God, create in me a revival. Let me be the revival. Let each one of us be the revival, the revival in me. Make me, Lord, to hunger, make me to thirst. Create in me, Lord, that what is needed in me. Let me, from this hour on, be Thine; more consecrated servant, a better servant, more blessed of You; more able, more humbler, more kinder, more willing to work; more looking to the things that are positive, and forgetting the things that are in the past, and the negatives. Let me press towards the mark of the high calling of Christ. Amen.

That's our desire, isn't it?

Placing of a son… Take him out in a certain place, have a ceremony before Angels, and place him positionally what he is in the body of Christ. Then that person has the authority. Let me say this, if you count me a fanatic from this night on. That very same thing that I'm speaking of will be done. There'll be a power put into the Church, and now is coming in, that the Holy Spirit will so anoint the people, till they'll speak the Word and It'll create Itself right there. We haven't seen powers like's coming into the Church now. I know it for a fact.

“Say unto this mountain be moved. Don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you've said shall come to pass, you can have what you have said.”: the placing of the Church in position, where the fulness of the power of the Holy Ghost comes into the Church. Then critics mouths will be shut. It'll be a short time. Jesus come right off the mountain, went straight to Calvary. Notice, it won't last long, but it'll be here.

And then again we wonder in the Scriptures, when it's written, “All things work together for good to them that love God.” And many times when maybe the lash of His correction is laying upon us, we wonder how that it could be working for the good. But after it's all over, then we look back and we praise Him for it because He knows; we do not. We just act obedient to His Word and to His chastising. He never did chastise us unless we had need of it. And sometimes we might think that we wasn't guilty, but He knows… Maybe we are not, but He knows just how to do it to make it all work good. And what a—a beautiful thing it is just to lay your life in His hands and say, “Here am I, Lord. Just use me now; lead me, and guide me, and direct me in the way that would be pleasing unto Thee.” And then don't murmur. No matter what the path is, stay with it anyhow, and God will work it all right. “The footsteps of the righteous is ordered by the Lord.” And that Scripture is true.
