Secret, bro. Nathan.)

And then the Bible said, "Rejoice, all you holy Angels, and you
saints upon the earth, for the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms
of our God, and of His Christ, and they--He shall reign."
Satan took Jesus up on top the
mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world, said, "These are all
mine, and I'll give them to You."
And Jesus said, "Get thee
hence, Satan." That's right. He wasn't care...
He said, "If My Kingdom of
this world, I could call many legions of Angels; but My Kingdom is not of this
world, but My Kingdom is in heaven." And He said, "The Kingdom of God
will be within you." So therefore the legions and powers of the backing of
the holy Angels (Hallelujah.) is in you, was born into the Deity of Christ by
the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Yes, sir.

Who are you this morning? Who is Christ Jesus? He's in you as much as
you'll let Him be. He's pressing, trying to get into you, to move into you
today. And you stand off, and wonder, and look and gaze, and hold back a little
while. Don't do that. Move right straight into the Kingdom of God. The hour's
here. Hallelujah.
Oh, how I love Him. He's coming one
of these days. I want to see Him. Don't you? I want to see Him. I believe we
will see Him. Don't you? He's here now. His power is moving.
What makes the people cry and
shout, go on? What's the matter? It's the Holy Ghost moving in them. If they
could only realize and--and embrace Him, embrace the Holy Ghost, believing in
Him, hug Him to your bosom. Live right; do nothing that would hinder Him. Say,
"O Lord Jesus, I want You. I want You to stand by me. I'm going to stand
by You, Father." And as you do, He is just pressing to get into you. He
wants in there. He's wooing you to Him all the time.

Now, friends, I know this to be the truth. I know people don't realize
who you are? Every person in here can live above sin, can live without sin,
live in God; you'll make mistakes, but the Blood of Christ will forgive you.
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Is that
right? That same power of Christ that was hung on Calvary's cross, the same God
that raised Him up on the day of the resurrection, is in you now, you that's
got the Holy Ghost. Oh, don't you love Him? Oh, my. Hear His voice calling
today.
Move Him up to your close bosom,
and say, oh, close unto your bosom, and say, "Now, Lord Jesus, I've been a
little different, but this Christmas day I realize Who You are now. I once
worshipped You as a little Baby in a manger. I seen You back yonder as a little
bitty Fellow nineteen hundred years ago, and I thought, 'Oh, if I could've went
up to Jerusalem!'"

Today, they're getting passes and everything to go up to the--to the
cradle, up to the place where He was born, the same manger. But, friends, it's
not up there, where He was born, it's right here where He was born; God has
brought Him down to every one of us, and His living Being is living in us. Oh,
the Creator, the thing that created the world, and created the heavens, created
the earth, created man, is right in every individual that's got the baptism of
the Holy Ghost today. That's the thing. That's the secret. And see the Holy
Ghost in you; He's the hope of glory.

And look here in the Old Testament, as I've referred to it many times,
when the contract was made, it was tore apart over a dead beast's body. And those
two contracts had to be come together, contract had to dovetail one with the
other.
And today God's made a contract,
not because you were good, not because you joined church, not because you been
a good member of society. You can be ever so good; you can live a clean life;
you can go to church every day; you can sacrifice every day; you can give a
part of your money; you can give up all the sins of the world, and everything,
and live just as true and faithful as you can, and you'll miss heaven just as
far as east is from the west. That's right. It isn't by goodness that we are
saved, but it's by His mercy that we're bought, that God wanted to make sons
and daughters. Goodness never makes them. The Spirit of God makes them. If it
wasn't so, He wouldn't have had to send the Holy Ghost.
How could the Holy Ghost be
complete unless--or how could the--the contract be complete? Jesus said,
"I go away, yet I'll come again and be with you, even in you. Pray the
Father, and He'll give you the Holy Ghost. He will abide forever."

And people put their name on church books, trying to turn a new page on
Christmas day, trying to walk yonder at church and just pay a few tributes to
the manger back yonder. When the Holy Ghost pushes you just where the lives
right and the Word of God. And so blind they walk around, say, "Well,
that's a bunch of holy-rollers." Just like it was in the days of Noah, so
is it now.
The coming of the Son of God's
drawing nigh. That's right. And only those who are charged by the Holy Ghost,
who has Immortal Life living in them, the Holy Ghost, that's the type that's
going to be drawed from here, just as certain as anything.
There was something another about
that little old ark in the days of Noah, that floated on top the water. It was
a drawing power from above, that was right in the top, that the glory of God
shined from heaven...?...

And I tell you, today, friend, hear my Word. There is a drawing power,
not from the church, not from the pastor, but from glory, this baptism of the
Holy Ghost moving down in that life channel to draw up a Church. What is it?
The power of God, the access to His Life, Zoe.
"These things that I do shall
you also; greater than this shall you do." He was persecuted, laughed at,
made fun of, and died, and went in the grave. But He was true; He had the
Spirit of God in Him, and God raised Him up. If we go the same way, so shall we
come out. Oh, hallelujah. I love Him.

Can you hear me? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] You love
Him? You love Him with all your heart? Isn't He wonderful? Oh, my.
Eye has seen, ear has heard, what's
recorded in God's Word;
Isn't He wonderful, wonderful...
Let's bow our heads.

Heavenly Father, O Jesus, I'm looking forward for a great hour. I see it
coming. I see there's no hope nowhere else. I see the age a-moving up. I see
the great red lights of communism, swaying around over the earth. I see the
formal churches taking their stands against Your Church, trying to condemn
them, saying, "Divine healing's wrong. It's a bunch of fanaticism." A
bill in our own White House to close It down...
Oh, but, God, the other day,
setting there and seeing those saintly people, all illuminated with the power
of God; looking upon their faces and seeing the glory of God they could be like
the Hebrew children at the fiery furnace. "We'll never bow down. No. Our
God's able to deliver us. You'll come quickly, Lord Jesus."
And I see the hour is setting in,
when, "The form of godliness the people have, but deny the power thereof:
from such turn away," You said, the Spirit speaking for the last days. And
here we are in that day today.

Here's our little church setting here, Lord, men and women who I believe
loves You. And I pray, God, that that Spirit that's filled many of their hearts,
days gone by, will now come deeper and more. May they lay aside every malice,
every strife, everything that's unlike You, and move up today, not to the
manger, but to Calvary; not as altogether to Calvary, but to Christ, the hope
of glory, the Deity of God, the magnificence of God, the power of God that's
now in our heart, trying to draw us out of the things of the world, that He
might take us out of this earth someday unto a better land. God, grant it
today. Hear the prayer of Your servant, and speak to the people.
If there's any lost in here, any
without the Holy Spirit, may they receive of Thee this morning. Grant it, dear
God, for we ask it in the Name of Thy dear beloved Son, Jesus, Who nineteen
hundred years ago was born in a manger, Who suffered thirty-three years later
at Calvary for our sins, Who ascended on to high a few days after that, forty
days later. He was received up into glory, then ten days later come again in
the power of the Holy Ghost, and now living in the Church. And soon, with that
same power that raised Him, the Holy Ghost in the Church to take it out. O God,
come, will You, and save the Church? For we ask it in His Name.
