“LIKE A FLOOD”

END TIME THE PHOENIX AZ 54-0307A

E-45 045 And it's been stalked like a garden. And the true wheat's come up among the weeds and the cockleburs. But it's been wheat all along.

You always talk about how bad the world is, how wicked the world is. That's true. But look how great the church is getting all the time. We fail to look at that side. Jesus said, "Let them grow together." When the world's getting wickeder and wickeder and wickeder, the Church is getting more powerful and powerful all the time.

When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will raise up a standard against it. Hallelujah. Let's go. Glory. The winds are blowing; set your sails. Hallelujah. Move right on into the face of the storm. What do you care? Who's the Captain? He will take care of it. Now, "Don't fear, I'm always there." See?

PUTTING ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD S PINES NC 62-0607

E-41 041 But God just brings His Word more positive all the time. He don't have to refortify it, and bring something else up. He just makes His Word more real all the time. And the Bible said, "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God raises a standard against it." See? Now, what is... Then if the enemy comes in like a flood, and God's fortification to His people to fortify them is the Word of God, so He just raises the Word, a Standard against him. Amen.

Now, He's raised it three times. Did you know that? God's always in threes. Don't... That's God's perfect number. Like God, the very essence of love, Spirit covers all the solar systems, from eternity (if there was such a way) to eternity... All love, all power, real power. Now, that love there is not phileo (the Greek word puts it in--in "love"), but... fellowship love; but it's Agapao, godly love. And He's the fountain of all of that.

JESUS CHRIST THE SAMESALEM OR 62-0718

E-81 081 Civilization has traveled with the sun. We all know that. Oldest civilization is China and constantly... And as civilization comes, sin heaps up, keeps heaping. And now it's hit the west coast. There's a sound barrier, or an iron curtain separating the east and west. There's no more people out there in the ocean. You go plumb on over till you get to east again. And sin has constantly came.

When the Indian lived here, he had no sin. He had a little tribal wars. But when the white man had come, he brought whiskey, women, murder, and everything else. And sin has constantly heaped up. And as sin heaps up... The Bible said when the enemy comes in like a flood, God would raise up a standard against it. The Word of God would raise up a standard. The Word would be more manifested, more manifested.

The Holy Ghost struck first on the west coast, some cross-eyed colored man, down here in California. Holy Ghost struck on California with speaking in tongues. Then came Divine healing campaign, and here we are at the end time. Hallelujah. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever... You believe it? Let us bow our heads just a moment.

WAY BACK THE SHREVEPORT LA 62-1123

E-121 121 But you know, there's something happened to the church. What do you think would took place if fifty years ago that would've broke through? See, it's got to be more powerful now to shake the church harder. "As the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God rises a standard against it." One of these days It'll raise the church plumb out of its place, the borned again saints.

"Two in the bed, I'll take one and leave one, two in the field I'll take one and leave one." It'll raise the church into the Presence of Christ to live forevermore. I do not say this to be rude. I say it in godly, brotherly, sincerely love with a--a hunger in my heart to see the church of God be the church of God, a body of people.

CONTEST THE JEFF IN 62-1231

33 022 And now, it's just about--about three minutes until the time that the whistles are going to be blown, and it will be midnight. Then as we leave this building to go to our different places and our homes, and to meet outside, and to meet the world, let's not go as we have in former times. Let's go in the power of His resurrection. Let's go in the Name of Jesus Christ, with a banner lifted high, and with faith in His Word to handle the two-edged Sword, with the shield and the full armor of God on to meet the enemy, because he's getting stronger and more powerful every day. As the--as the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God raises up a standard against him. If we have come to the end of these things that we--and the mysteries of God has been completed with us, we are looking for more strength, a rapturing strength to meet a worse force, that'll rapture the Church and take it into glory. We must have it. Let's meet '63 with a challenge, that we are the servants of the living God. And like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego of old, we'll not bow to the devils of this world and take back this thing that what we've talked about, but let's press the battle.

INVESTMENTS CHICAGO IL 63-0803B

1 Let's just remain standing just a moment, while we speak now to Him, as we bow our heads.

Our heavenly Father, we are indeed grateful for this time again that we can stand to present the Gospel to this city, Chicago, as it's upon the hearts of these people here, these Christians, to see their people saved. And, Father, we know that no man can come unless You've drawed him first, Jesus said so. And we believe that, every foreordained seed that lays in this city now, there's no way to keep them from receiving the Light of the Gospel. You will--You will grant it, Lord. You'll watch over it to be sure it gets there. You present the Message, and I believe that You're able, and will bring those to the Light of the Gospel who You've ordained to see It.

So, Father, as we let our lights shine, and put forth our efforts, in all that we know how to the--to bring this great Gospel of the evening time... The tides truly of sin is flowing in, unbelief on every hand. Oh, so many horrible things facing the face of us, but we have the assurance that the--when the enemy comes like a flood, the Word of God will raise up a standard against it, Father, and You promised it, so we thank Thee.

And now, today, help us as we settle down now. I'm thanking You for the jubilee of the morning, these wonderful songs and testimonies, whatever has been done. And now, may we look to Thy Word, Lord, to draw from This, strength for the day. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. (Can be seated.)

POWER OF TRANSFORMATION PRESCOTT AZ 65-1031M

20 010 I like the word that Brother Gene used in prayer this morning, "In His august courts..." I feel that way when I cross that bridge down there to--to come in where God is reverenced and respected. And always keep it that way. No matter when the enemy...

Now, remember; don't forget this, Brother Leo and Gene, especially. Now, you think Satan's going to let this go on like this without a hindrance? Oh, no. He sure won't. He's going to fly in one of these days just like a whirlwind. But when the--when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God raises a standard against it. Just keep lifting yourself up in prayer before God. Cling to one another. Hold to God. For if you love one another, it shows you love God. "This will all men know, that you're My disciples, when you have love one for the other."
