MATTHEW 3:7 » 7 † ¶ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? MATTHEW 3:8 » 8 † Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: MATTHEW 3:9 » 9 † And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. MATTHEW 3:10 » 10 † And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. MATTHEW 3:11 » 11 † I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: MATTHEW 3:12 » 12 † Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

63-1114 INFLUENCE « 166 † John, the prophet. The Word comes to His prophet. And the Word come exactly to the prophet. "It is becoming," it says behooveth, which means, "becoming to us that we fulfill all righteousness." 167 Oh, how I could leave the text now for a minute, how it's becoming to us to fulfill all righteousness! The hour is here, something, we must fulfill all righteousness. We know what to do. See, we should do it, that's right, believe with all of our heart. « 168 † Notice, then, we find that John humbled himself in the Presence of God. 169 The thing of it is, people, my brother, sister, and friends, is to be conscious of your littleness. See? Don't be conscious of how big you are. Be conscious in how little you are. You're--you're small. We're all that way. God can do without us, but we can't do without Him. See? See? We, we can't do without Him, but He can do without us.

« 170 † God is only trying to find one person He can get in His hands. He has always tried to do that. You notice, all down through the Bible, when He found an Isaiah, when He found a Jeremiah. Then He found--He found Samson, one day; but Samson gave his strength to God, but he gave his heart to Delilah. See, he... 171 You've got to give your all to God; your reverence, your respects, your everything that you are. Just be nothing, just see how little you are, and that's what God wants us to do. And that's real humility. That's the way these Seraphims are in His Presence, you see, with Their face in reverence, covered; Their feet, in humility.
EXODUS 29:4 » 4 † And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water. EXODUS 29:5 » 5 † And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod: EXODUS 29:6 » 6 † And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

65-0725E WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION.ON.THE.MOUNTAIN « 79 † And about that time the prophet turned and said, "Behold, there comes the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!" Now what's the attraction? It's changed from the prophet to his prophecy. 80 Now notice what comes to pass. Here comes an ordinary Man, known of no one, a carpenter's son, come walking out in the water. When John, the great prophet, said, "I have need to be baptized of Thee. Why comest Thou to me?" 81 He said, "Suffer that to be so. But, as a prophet and the Word, it behooves us to fulfill all righteousness." 82 So he understood the Sacrifice had to be washed before presented, and he baptized Him. « 83 † Now there's another attraction takes place when He went up out of the water. This prophet who had been so loyal to declare his age and the time, he looked up and he saw the heavens open. He saw the Spirit of God, like a dove, descending upon Him, and a Voice saying, "This is My beloved Son in Whom I'm well pleased." God was vindicating a prophet's message, what was attracting the attention at the Jordan.

When, here is my hand; as far as I know, I've never seen the woman in my life, only just some in the audience, or--or maybe she was in the prayer line, or something like that, years and years ago. Any recollection of her; no. But may the Lord help me now. As a gift...

196 See, like these ministers here. You already know, if you've heard me preach, I--I'm not a preacher. I have no education. I couldn't call myself a preacher, but there is man here that's more able to do that than I am. 197 But my gift comes from God, 'cause I love Him. And--and this I believe, "gifts and callings are without repentance." They're predestinated of God. They're each generation. And my part in this was to that Word, for It to live again, become the Word to discern and know. That's prophetic, which is promised according to Malachi 4, to be in this day, makes us perfectly in the last day.
64-0122 LOOKING.UNTO.JESUS « 64 † John, the greatest of all prophets, he was the one that introduced Jesus. Jesus said he was "greater than any man had been born." Did you ever think why that was? All the rest of them spoke of Him, "The Word of the Lord comes to the prophet," that's the Bible said so, and in all the other prophets it come to them in visions. But when the Word come to John, It was flesh. Jesus was the Word. He is the Word. He always was the Word, but here is where the fullness of God "was made flesh and dwelt among us." When He come to him in the water, he was a prophet. And if the Word is made flesh, It's got to come to the prophet. The Word, wherever It is, It must come to a prophet, because a prophet is the one the Word comes to. And John was the prophet of the day.
63-1110M SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW « 341 † Not by speaking in tongues. Not by dancing in the Spirit. Not by joining church. Not by fruit of the Spirit; Christian Science can out-smother any of you on that, see, and deny even Jesus Christ was Divine. Not that.
Page 6
342 But it's the Word, living! There it is. If they'd have only looked, He was Messiah. He was the living Word, made manifest. 343 And a man that's got the Spirit of God in him, or a woman, lives that Word, lives right out in them. That's the heartbeat, the predestinated, for the Word of the Lord comes to them, and they are the Word to the people. "Written epistles read of all men." Is that right? Could the Third Pull be on?
JOHN 15:5 » 5 † I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. JOHN 15:6 » 6 † If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. JOHN 15:7 » 7 † If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. JOHN 15:8 » 8 † Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

JOB 29:14 » 14 † I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. PSALM 132:8 » 8 † Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. PSALM 132:9 » 9 † Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. ISAIAH 61:10 » 10 † ¶ I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

REVELATION 19:8 » 8 † And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
63-0630E IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY.OF.THE.GOSPEL « 264 † Now, the only way to live a life worthy, is to let Christ and His Word (which, He is the Word) reflect Itself so perfect in you till God vindicates what He said in the Word. For, Christ died that He might present Himself before God, a Sacrifice. And It returned back in the form of the Holy Spirit, to reflect Hisself through His people, to carry on His work; reflecting Hisself through you, to fulfill His promised Word in these future days. Like John the Baptist heard, when he heard Christ come. And Christ walked out into the water. And John said, "Behold the Lamb of God." Nobody else saw It. But he saw It, that Light coming down from Heaven, like a dove. And a Voice saying, "This is my beloved Son in Whom I'm pleased to dwell in." He saw It coming. And Jesus walked out into the water, Immanuel, before a--a preacher that was supposed to be a radical. Walked out into the water, before the people, and said, "I want to be baptized of you." 265 John said, "Lord, I have need to be baptized of Thee. Why comest Thou to me?" Both them eyes met one another, a
Page 9
prophet and his God. Amen. Could you... I... Wouldn't I love to stand and watch that? See them stern, deep-set eyes of John peel down and find them stern, deep-set eyes of Jesus; second cousins to one another, in the flesh. 266 Jesus said, "John, suffer it to be so now, for thus it behooveth us. We're the Message of this hour. It behooveth us to fulfill all righteousness." 267 John thought, "Yes, He's the Sacrifice. The Sacrifice must be washed before It's presented." Then he said "Come on." And he baptized Him. Amen. Other words, "It behooves us to fulfill all righteousness." Jesus, knowing that that man was genuine, said, "There's never been a man born of a woman, like him. He's more than a prophet; you can receive it, this is more than a prophet." And Jesus, looking into his heart, and knowing that. His own cousin met Him there, face-to-face. 268 John said, "Lord, I got need to be baptized of You. And why do You come to me?" 269 Said, "Suffer it to be so, John. But, remember, it behooveth us to fulfill all that God has promised. And I am the Sacrifice. I've got to be washed before presented." Oh, my! My! « 270 † And, today, when the evening Lights are shining, when there's not a man in his right mind but what can't say, any Bible scholar look in the Bible, knows this is the last day. Then, it behooves us to fall from these big walls, or get away from these things, and to get into the righteousness of Jesus Christ in this last day, and take on the Seal of God before the Devil gives us the mark of the beast. Oh, my. Yes. 271 Pray God to let the Light of this day raise in you, to be an obedient servant to God. And then let the fruit of the Page 10
Spirit ever remain in your life. And that is a life is worthy of the Gospel. « 272 † Let me say this, in closing. The only way, the only way that you can live a life that's worthy of the Gospel, is let the Gospel Itself, every bit of the Gospel, come into you and reflect His promises back, make them vindicated. Let God live in you, to vindicate the promises of this day. Just as John, as Jesus said to John, "Suffer it to be so, John. That's right. But we are the messengers of this day, and we've got to fulfill all righteousness." And if we are the Christians of this day, let's receive Jesus Christ into our heart. And He is the Word. Don't deny any of It. Say, "It's the Truth." And place It in your heart, watch the fruit of the Spirit upon you, and fulfill every promise that He made in the Bible. God wants to fulfill His Word, and He don't have any hands but mine and yours. He don't have any eyes but mine and yours. He has no tongue but mine and yours. "I am the Vine. Ye are the branches." The branches bears the fruit. The Vine energizes the branch. That's the life that's worthy.
63-0901E DESPERATIONS « 23 † The Token, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, is among us. We should reverence that. We--we--we--we can't humble ourselves enough. Taking off your shoes, or getting on your knees, wouldn't expel it; it wouldn't--it wouldn't satisfy it, wouldn't suffice us; but a life that brings forth the fruit of the Spirit! 24 Now what is the fruit of the Spirit? See? Love, joy, peace. 25 Remember this morning? Preparation, sent the messenger with the Message. Next thing He done, after He sent the messenger with the Message, He sent the Pillar of Fire for a Page 11
vindication. Next thing was, after that, was a constella-... or consolation. See? You knew that it was right, you was at peace. We have peace with God, through the Lord Jesus Christ. See?
