(February 1987) 01 - Arise and Measure the Temple — Ray Lowe

Good to see all the smiling faces, and I'd like to say with the pastor, as he's already said, I wish you could come every night and hear what the Lord is saying. How many believe the Lord is speaking to us in this hour?

And I don't know why, but I spent my first sleepless night up here last night. I was real tired. I got to bed around midnight. Two o 'clock I was back up again wide awake and stayed up most of the night.

And I come to realize I've made some statements that were not true. I've been telling folks all over this country that God's not dead. He's alive. That's true. And I've been telling them He wasn't sick, but He is.

He's sick on His stomach. Okay? You come every night, and when you get sick on your stomach, it ain't long you do something else. Okay? I was made aware that God is sick on His stomach. Okay? I want you to turn with me this morning.

Boy, that's the way to start a revival, isn't it? But we're going to have revival this week. I want you to turn with me this morning to the book of Revelation chapter 11. I certainly appreciate the pastor and his confidence to allow this open door to speak to you this week.

I'd like for you to come and be here every night, and number two, I'd like for you to buy a tape. If you can't buy it, I'll see if the pastor will give you a tape of every service. And after we're gone, go back over, because it is impossible to sit here and...

Now, y 'all's steak's going to be well done today, I'll tell you that right now. You've roasted them once you got cooking. But it's impossible to grasp everything the Lord will say sitting this morning.

Listen to the tape. Let's read together Revelation 11 and 1. There was given me a reed like unto a rod, and the angel stood saying, Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar in them that worship therein.

But the court which is without the temple, leave it out. Don't measure it, and measure it not. For it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread, underfoot forty and two months. I want you to turn with me to Ezekiel.

Measuring the Temple in Revelation, Ezekiel, and Zechariah

Let me find my chapter. Chapter 40 and verse 1. Ezekiel chapter 40 and verse 1. In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me and brought me thither.

In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the structure," says Frame in the King James, by which was as the structure of a city on the south.

And he brought me thither, and behold there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed. And he stood in the gate, and the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I will show thee.

For to the intent that I might show them unto thee art thou brought hither. Declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel. I brought you here for this reason, he said. You're here for a reason. I brought you here to show you something.

I brought you to show you a structure. And you declare all that you have seen, all that I'm going to show you, all that thou seest, to the house of Israel. Now don't do it now, because you've got to listen to me, and you can't do what I'm going to ask you to do and listen.

But I want you, this week, I want you to read chapter 40, 41, and 42. And I want you to take a pencil, underline, if you underline your Bible. And I want you to underline the word measure. Okay? Underline that word measure.

How many times it's used as this begins to take place as God is speaking and Ezekiel is beginning to see this in the vision. Then I want you to turn with me to the book of Zechariah. The book of Zechariah.

We'll read in verse number two, excuse me, chapter number two and verse number one. I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. Then said I, whither goest thou?

And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. Now, I want to ask you something. If you was in prayer, or in meditation, or whatever, and you heard the Holy Spirit speak clearly to you, these words in Revelations 11.

Arise and measure the temple. What would you do? If the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to you, that you knew beyond any shadow of a doubt, that you was hearing God's voice, what would you do? You measure. If the Spirit says measure the temple, what would you measure?

Would you measure your building? Would you, you know, what would you measure? If the Spirit says to you, arise and measure the temple. But he doesn't stop there. He says measure the worshippers, measure the altar, out of court.

Leave it out. Don't fool with the out of court. Measure the temple, measure in the temple the altar, and measure those that's worshiping in the temple. Now, in chapter 10 of Revelation, is a story where John sees an angel with a book.

And the Bible says he goes up to the angel and says to the angel, give me the book. And when he takes the book from the angel, the angel says to John, I want you to take this book and eat it. Don't just take the book.

You've got to eat the book. Eat the book. And John, he explains to John, he said, now when you eat the book, or when John eats the book, it was sweet. He said to John, you are going to prophesy again.

John was on the Isle of Patmos for a testimony of Jesus Christ. He was the last surviving apostle. The church Pentecost had gone. Paul had come and gone. Peter had come and gone. A .D. 96 is on the scene.

John's on the Isle of Patmos because of persecution and his testimony for the Word of God in Christ Jesus. But the angel says to John, you are going to preach some more. It's not over with you. You are going to preach some more.

And in the next account, man put the verses, the chapters in it. God didn't do that. Arise, he says, and measure the temple. Now, you cannot measure the temple until first there's a measuring stick, rod, instrument, tool, whatever, until you have the measuring stick in your hand.

It's impossible to measure something unless you've got something to measure with. Is that right? Probably this week with John's writings more than we are any other writings in the Word of God. Because they are writings.

I believe I said this before. They are writings that are different. They are different in this respect. They are an antidote. They are a countermeasure in the trend that she has, in the direction she is going, and the way that she is conducting herself.

Pentecost is already subsiding. Amen. The apostolic doctrine is already getting mixed in, mingled with leaven. And the church is losing, has already lost some things that God never intended for the church to do.

So to counteract this move and this trend that the church is headed in, Jesus appears to John. Give him these instructions and said, you're going to get off of this island and you're going to go back and preach again.

Revolution Before Revival

We are not going to have revival in the church until first we have a revolution. We are on the verge of a revolution in the church. Revolution, what is that? Change. Revolution. Mythical change. If you're not ready for change, you're in the wrong place.

You've got the wrong preacher. We don't need to just make a change. We've got to have a radical change. Because there's some radical change that's been made in the structure of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord lets him see structure. He saw a structure. He saw the frame of a city, which is the structure of the city. It's how the city was going to be built. How the temple was going to be built. He sees structure.

Now, for the first time in all of my life, I'm 23 years old in God. I've never heard God and I've never witnessed the Holy Spirit in every circle that's open to the Holy Spirit. And it was structure. And here's your responsibility.

You just tell them what I've showed you. That's all I'm going to do. What you do with it, I have no control over what you do with it. But there's a revolution taking place in this country. Amen? And Father's revolution is going to follow revival.

How many believe we need a revival? 1964 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Oral Roberts stood up to preach. 1964. As he walked to the pulpit, a strange anointing that he had never felt before came on him. And he changed his text instead of preaching what he was going to preach.

He preached and took his text from the book of Judges on Samson and Delilah. And he told the story of how Samson lost his strength and slowly drifted into the arms of Delilah. And through her, whatever you want to call it she had, power and his strength, winds up a laughingstock of the city.

Now, if there's anything that we are today to that world out there, we've become a laughingstock. And the very man that prophesied that is one of the men that's helped bring it on. We are laughingstock.

In western North Carolina, all the newspapers, all the newspapers in Mississippi, the church is a joke. We're on the joke column. We're on the cartoon column. Are you listening to me? The preachers are the cartoonists now.

They've left the politicians, the preachers of the cartoonists. You know why? Because of a statement that that man just made a few days ago. How many has heard the statement? The church has become the laughingstock of this country.

And I want you to know God's going to change that, brother and sister. He's not going to change it for Jim Hite's sake. He's not going to change it for Oral Roberts' sake. He's not going to change it for Ray Lowe's sake.

He's going to do what He's going to do for His name's sake. It's His name that's at stake, brother. It's His character that's at stake. It's His everything that's at stake. And what God's getting ready to do, He's going to do it for His name's sake.

His name is holy. It's holy. It's holy. It's reverent, can you say, man? You're 36. Read 36. You shadow of 37 of the regathered in the army that one day will stand. Read 36. The devastation of 37. My name profane among the heathen.

What I'm going to do, I'm not going to do it because of you. Oh, we talk God loves us and He's going to do this because He loves us. Oh, it's going to be far beyond that. Brother, He holds His hand. He hallows His name.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The name of the Lord represents holiness. It represents the blood in His name. He's going to do what He's going to do for His name's sake. He sees the structure.

He sees this city being built, and He sees the structure of this city. Now, you'll have to read the rest of it to get what He's saying. He's seeing something being built. Life comes into it because that's what it is.

It's the river of life. It's supposed to flow through the church, the river of life. And He says to the people, He says to the prophet, He says, I want you just to declare I brought you here to show the structure of this city.

Now, here's what Ol said in his message. I wish I could get the copy of the magazine that he wrote it in. But here's what he said. He said, I have never. Once again, hallelujah. I want to tell you something, folks.

Samson's hair is beginning to grow back. You know, listen. That in five years, this is not a prophecy. This is a prediction. Okay? I predict in five years that Ol Roberts will leave the scene. The vision of Ol Roberts and how he would die.

He'll die from old age, in other words. He'll live out a full life. My wife's here. The only one can vouch for the vision. He'll not die like, you know, he'll fade out. 1970 showed me another preacher.

He showed me A .A. Allen. He showed me how A .A. Allen was going to die. He told me, A .A. Allen, this may not go good. Some of you that knew Allen, and he may be your personality that you like. But he showed me A .A. Allen would die from alcohol.

I saw A .A. Allen one night in a vision. Turn up a fifth of whiskey or a bottle or jug of whiskey and chug-a-lug it. What we used to call in the bars. Chug-a-lug that fifth of whiskey. And I saw him fall over dead.

Where I was in revival at that particular time. But when the truth comes out that he dies from alcohol. And it took 12 days for the coroner to reach his verdict. But when he came out, he said he had 35 alcohol in his blood.

Which means he was pickled from alcohol. Now, I predict when he leaves of a brand new in the land again. Okay? Okay, we're not in revival. Stick in your hand, Lord. And get the right rock. Because the problem today is, we are measuring.

But we're measuring with the wrong measuring stick. That when John wrote his account of the gospel. You ever notice how different John's account of the gospel is? It starts out like this. John 1 in 1.

Thinking With the Mind of God

In the beginning was the Word. Taking place. Because you've got two main reflectors. That the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. But they're mighty through God. To the pulling down of strongholds.

Where's the battleground at? Imaginations. Bringing what into captivity? Every thought. Put it in your mind. Why do we need a revolution in our mind? I said 55 in 8. A lot of money for that which wasn't bread.

Help me, Jesus. And supported. And backed up stuff that hadn't produced the bread of God. Because nothing produces the bread of God but the Word of God. Not Scripture. Not quoting Scripture. The living Word.

The quickened Word. Somebody say, man. I'm thinking like I think. Isn't that something? Something. Like he thinks. In the beginning was the Word. It's actually, in the beginning was the thought of God.

Put in a form. Put Him in a form. And they never did. It healed. If God said His Word. Come back together. Heavens and said it will not read. But according to my Word. Those Old Testament prophets. Was the logos of God.

But according to my Word. Let them open again. God thinks. I'm going to tell you something. Delivered. From what people think. I'm only interested in what He thinks. I was in a meeting down in the Ramada Inn.

Recently. I saw this lady. Come in the back. Boy, she watched me like a hawk. She didn't know but I had an eagle eye on her too. I told a friend of mine. After the meeting I watched it, boy. I picked her spirit up real quick.

See, you have to judge folks by their spirit. And I want this on their face. Them looks will lie to you. She told a friend of mine, said. He needs a good course in grammar. I said, I sure do. But she needs a good case of salvation.

I'd rather have what I got than what she's got. I said all of that to say this. What you think don't bother me. You know what I'm interested in? I don't know what he's thinking about me. I said, I don't know what he's thinking about me.

Hallelujah. Because that's the only thing. You know, I don't even care what I think about myself. But you think something about yourself. God don't think that way about you. Okay? Okay? Stop when you ain't nothing in God.

Or you think you're nothing and you're something in God. See, it can be reversed. See, you'd be putting yourself down. God's trying to get you up. Or you'd be putting yourself up and God's trying to get you back down.

See, what counts is how He's looking at this thing. Can you say amen? And the only way you can know what He thinks about it. Amen? He thinks about my nose. Ain't I got a pointy nose? That's a Jew nose.

The physical physique. What counts? What does God think about you? Seeking pride in your heart and life. You think you're Mr. It. He thinks about you. He thinks you stink. He thinks you're the stinkiest thing around town.

And you think you smell the best. In our minds. We've got to get back to where we can think like He thinks. What does He think? What's He thinking about this situation? See, what you call a laughing matter, He may be crying about it.

When you get back to thinking like God thinks, you start crying over what He cries over. Laughing over what He laughs over. Rejoicing over what He rejoices over. Can you say amen? So there's got to be a...

God’s Order for the Individual, Home, and Church

When God deals with structure, number one, He... God never deals with the corporate structure first. Never. Never, never, never. Number one. And I don't know that this is number one in the sense of place.

Three things. That's a home. That's a home God deals with. Because you can't have a church until your homes are right. See, you ain't got no business ruling down here if you can't rule back your house right.

But before He deals with that, He deals with the individual. The structure of this individual. And I'm going to deal with the structure of the individual this week. And you're going to know yourself before we get through this revival if you come and hear what God's saying.

God deals with your structure. See, you can't set your house in order at home until you first set yourself in order. And you can't set this church in order until you're in order and the home's in order.

Then the church can set in order. And I'll guarantee you the thing that's going on in the church is just the outcropping of the results of what's going on back in our homes and in our hearts. I'm going to be in our midst and deliver and set free whatever we need to be set free.

Okay? It's not how many of you meet in this life. Dealing with you. Dealing with me. God, when He spoke to me and said, measure the temple, He didn't say go up that stone mountain and measure that brother sitting on the back row with that gray suit on.

He said, I want you to start measuring yourself. I started measuring myself. Of course, I couldn't measure myself until He showed me how to do it. Showed me what to do. He put the rod in my hand. He put the word in my hand.

Here's what He said to me and I'm going to say it to you. He said, from this day forward, do not measure by anything but the word of God. Books you got away for a while. You can pick them back up in a little while.

But right now, let me have your book. Here's a book. Here's a book. I don't care what you say. You're a liar in God's words of truth. This is a book right here. This is a book. We're coming back. We're on our way back.

But when we come back, though, you can't come back until there's a revolution that takes place in your mind. Because when God begins to reveal that book, it won't agree with the way you think. It'll mess up your mind.

How many believe it'll mess up your mind? God has to restructure your thinking. And see the problem we have today. Oh, don't nobody want to be... Oh, brother, Lord, we've had it like this for 40 years.

Don't come in and tell us we've got to have some changes. We like it the way it is. Well, if you like it the way it is, you're one of that crowd that God's sick over. About 1 ,000 churches in the United States.

And all they good for is they're taking up real estate. These chickens only to feed the hungry. I've seen just a few days ago in the state of North Carolina, 160 people in the United States. As young 'uns and all.

There is a church building. 160 people in the United States. There is a church structure. All be saved and ready for heaven. Than we've ever been. This generation's farther from God than it's ever been.

How many will agree with that? What's wrong? There's something wrong with our structure. There's something wrong. The devil's come in and stole our structure and replaced it with another structure. But God's going to restructure this thing, build Him a church.

Then it can become the vehicle of expression. And before Jesus returns a second time in the power of glory, He's going to return the glory to the body of Christ and to the church of Christ. Hallelujah.

And make Himself known to this generation one more time. But there cannot be revival until there is a revolution in your mind. Radical. The church don't need just surgery. It needs major surgery. It needs radical surgery.

You don't need alcohol robed on your head. You need the sword laid to the root of your problems. Amen. How many wants to get down to the root of your problems? I watched the president speak the other night.

In my area, they had about four panels that went on into midnight discussing what he said. You know what they do? They just tear it apart and just go to this direction. Then they come back to this direction.

I watched four panels just switching, watching them. Here's what they said. Here's what they said. Here's what they boiled it all down to. The president knows we've got problems. The Congress knows we've got problems.

The Senate knows we've got problems. The Democrats knows we've got problems. The Republicans knows we've got problems. The news media knows we've got problems. But the bottom line is nobody has an answer.

Young lady, that nobody has an answer for our problems. I have to disagree with them. There is an answer. There is an answer. But it's not in the halls of Congress. It's not in the Republicans. It's in the pulpit and in the church of God where the answer lies.

But God's going to have to restructure us before He can ever send revival. He is not going to put new wine in your old bottles. He's going to bust your hide and restructure us with it. Is that the right way to say it?

Bust or burst? I ain't fooling that junk. Y 'all know what I'm saying. I can't handle it, brother. I can't handle the glory of the Supreme God. Why do I have you folks patting me on the back? It's a little pitiful.

I have to have that glory. See? I can't handle it. But He's going to restructure this thing. He's going to restructure your life. You think you're walking in God now? We don't even know what real church life is.

Some of you folks, the only time you serve God, you come down here three service weeks. Some of you don't come up one. And all you're doing is paying a premium on fire insurance. You don't want to go to hell.

Come on, praise God. I'm good for another week. Pay your premium. Do a clap. This ain't no clap. You ain't paying no dues. This is the church of the living God, the body of Christ, the tabernacle of God, the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Hallelujah. Expression. It's a challenge God's going to run a river through pretty soon. Hallelujah. But number one, He's got to bring a revolution in our minds. Hallelujah. Romans 12 and 2 says, Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove, that you may prove, hallelujah, unquestionably, what is good.

And the Father's not concerned about your will. He's concerned about His will. It's not what you think that counts. It's what God counts. God don't give two cents what you think. It's what the Word says.

The Holy Ghost is saying. And God has said. It's the only thing He's concerned about. Can you say amen? There's got to be some radical changes in the way you think. Because until you do, you're going to do like I was doing.

How's your church doing? Doing good as anybody. Getting anybody saved? No, ain't nobody else either. How are you doing? I'm good as anybody in town. Trouble in town, everybody else is screwed up. Church, boy, we're doing good.

Well, see, what I was doing, I'd been in the ministry 17 years, and I'd learned all them religious things. I proved them by bumper stickers on my vehicles. You don't believe I'm religious? Look at my vehicles.

I got bumper stickers hanging everywhere, buddy. I got trinkets in my house that you can just read anything you want to read. Somebody say amen. I told this when I was here before. This is hard to tell because it's against me.

I got a sign on the front of my van that says, Jesus never fails. Bumper sticker says, you're in good hands with Jesus. Boy, that's a testimony, ain't it? You get in front of me and he'll never fail you.

Get behind you, and you're in good hands if you'll stay in his hands. I was coming from Meridia, Georgia, to the medical center, to the burn center, because my nephew had been burned real bad. I was trucking on about 55 right downtown Meridia on the 4-lane, I -20.

A human being, I called him a creep then, found me in a Japanese Toyota. I was in the right-hand lane, minding my own business. He whirls around me, and there's a turnoff right up to the right just a few yards.

He whirls around me and gives me the sign, the finger. I hit my brakes, and I thought, well, I made your boy mad. He wants to turn off, and I'm in the right lane. He can't turn off, so I switch lanes, and I switch lanes, and he just kept giving me the finger.

But you're in good hands with Jesus, and he'll never fail, brother. I almost come to a dead stop to let that creep get in that road. And he just kept on. He just almost stopped to it. He was just, it was the boy in the backseat not to drive.

The boy in the backseat just giving me that finger. And he just ought not to have done it. I had a .32 pistol in my van. You're in good hands with Jesus, but you take that .32 to make sure. One thing, that's one finger he won't ever give nobody else.

I'll shoot it off. And I meant it. I reached back in anger and grabbed that .32 pistol. I brought it out and held it up where he could see it, and I shook it at him. And I said, buddy, I'll shoot that finger off of you.

Of course, it scared me so bad, he reached down the seat and grabbed the baby and held the baby up where I'd shoot the baby. Of course, in the meantime, me and my wife was battling in that van. She was taking my weapons of protection away from me.

She said, what a fine example you are. And I noticed the man was reading my sign, Jesus never fails. Somebody say amen. And I don't believe he was fingering me. I believe he was fingering me because I had them religious.

He was fingering Jesus. But shoot, he makes the answer. It stopped him from getting the devil out of him and getting him saved, and he'll quit doing that. Instead of giving somebody a finger, he'll lift his hand to heaven.

Can you say amen? Well, I went away from that little incident knowing that I wasn't in good hands. Say amen. Say amen. I went away feeling I'd shot somebody's mule or stole it. And from there to Columbus, my wife and Jesus chewed me to no end.

For these wives, she said, look what's on the front of your van. I said, oh, God, I'm going to take that sign off. Tell you something, who did I let down? Whose name did I profane? Tell me. There you go.

That guy didn't know me from out of his house cat, as they say in Georgia. But he recognized that name on that van. He says, you're in good hands with Jesus. And I guarantee he went away saying, I'm in better hands in my own hands than I am with that guy.

Of course, now, some of you will call that righteous indignation. And some of you name it, getting up on the wrong side of the bed. But it ain't that. You're just being used for the powers of darkness.

And the name of Jesus is being drugged lower and lower and lower. But I want you to know, brother and sister, God is on the verge of doing something in this land one more time. Samson is coming back on the scene.

Samson, the Church, and the Return of Spiritual Power

Hallelujah. The strong man with the power of God that can take the devil's foxes and catch them and tie their tails together and run them into the Philistines' cornfields. There's a church that's going to stand one more time with the power to snatch the gates of gays up by the roots and set up on the top of the mountain to take an army to bring them back down.

There's a church that's going to stand up one more time, thank God, with the jawbone of an ass. They're going to whip the devil barehanded. Can you say amen? I said Samson's going to stand up one more time.

Hallelujah. But God's going to have to do some things in our minds. He's going to have to restructure our minds. And there's going to have to be a radical change in our minds. Because God's going to restructure.

You say, well, He's not going to hang or there ain't no change going to take place in my life. Well, I'm going to inform you right up front. God's going to do what He's going to do with you or without you.

With you or without you. With me or without me. God is going to do what? He's going to do. Hallelujah. From this day forward, you're going to have to start measuring yourself by the Word of God. God 2 ,000 years ago stood a rod on this earth.

Isaiah 11. There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse. God put a measuring stick on this earth. And said from this day forth, you don't measure by Moses. You don't measure by Elijah. You don't measure by Elisha.

You don't go back to Abraham. You don't go back to Noah. You don't go back to Adam. I put the second Adam on this earth. He's your measuring stick. He's your pattern. This is the way I want you to construct your life.

This is the structure I want you to have. This is the way I want you to walk. This is the way I want you to talk. This is the way I want you to act. This is the way I want you to live. This is the way I want you to love.

This is the way I want you to move. Somebody say amen. This is the power I want you to have. What I've got, you can have. Hallelujah. God put a measuring stick on this earth 2 ,000 years ago. And when he got ready to go, he told those disciples, Don't you go nowhere.

You go to Jerusalem. And I'm going to send my Spirit back to you. And you shall receive the power to be my witnesses and my martyrs. You're going to walk through this earth. And you're going to be a witness that I'm him.

I'm the Christ. I'm the one. Hallelujah. And for just a few years, they was his witness. Can you say amen? They even had the attitude. Jesus said the foxes have holes. The birds in their have nests. But the Son of Man hath nowhere to lay his head.

That first church had that attitude. Where they laid their head didn't count. Where they worshipped didn't count. It was what they worshipped and how they worshipped. Can you say amen? Give the Lord a hand.

I'm going to show you where the Word of God I worship is from. God's going to restructure our worship. He's going to put the altar back where it belongs. Hallelujah. When you measure the altar, you don't measure this thing.

This ain't no altar. This is just something for preachers to jump over and follow. The altar is in your heart and your life. Hey, you can come down here and shed enough tears to call them crocodile tears.

And I've seen it over and over and over. You've noticed most of our Pentecostal churches. Everybody gets saved. The same folks get saved. They're revival. I call it recapping them. We just recap them.

The recap's still three or four weeks. They're swinging off. Another bench comes through. Cap them again. We're going to try to keep them capped until the Lord has wrapped them out of here. If He don't have them come, there ain't going to be nobody left though.

Because we're going to run out of recapping rubber. It's in your heart. Look at God. God's going to restructure your mind. He's going to bring a revolution in your mind. You know what I saw Him do? I saw Him reaching there and taking my mind and just scrambling it like a bunch of eggs.

You say, well, if He ever does that, you can't re-scramble eggs. You can't put an egg back together. You can, but God can. How many of you believe God can take an egg, scramble it, put it back in and thwart the chicken if He wanted to?

Don't you? Don't you? Pray for me, preacher. I need prayer this morning. God can do anything, sister. Who do you think we're serving today? That's not a joke. He's a holy, all-powerful, all-seeing, all-knowing God.

Was any frost this morning? It wasn't. Well, God didn't breathe too strongly because His breath. Okay? You tell the people what you saw. He saw a structure. I'm fixing the clothes. I've never had but one angel come to me.

Never had but one. In 1968, an angel of God came in my trailer and brought me a message. He said to me, the church, the glory has departed from the church. The glory is gone. Oh, brother, that's an insult to us.
