MAN IN THE IMAGE OF
GOD
Continued from last week.


GENERAL OvERsEER: Yes; and the Holy Spirit will
transform you just you let Him in How many times do
you invite the Holy Spirit to take complete possession of
you? If have done you prepared to pay the
price and to have the Holy Spirit THE ONE nhabitant
of your bodythe temple of the Holy Ghost?"because
there is price to pay and that price is absolute
qualified unreserved willing obedience to God and all of
His commandments Yes that is the price that each one
has to pay.
Oh, my brothers and sisters how happy would be this
afternoon if could only know that each of you had
made full and complete surrender to God Some of you
do not know the joys that into mans life when he
has made full surrender to his God and passive in His
hands the little boy is in the hands of father
mother and with the simplicity and the sweet
trust.
Now my brothers and sisters, when is healed,
it strengthens my faith in Cod and when is not
healed it strengthens my faith in God.
You wonder why say that. will tell you why: God
is true His Word true and He will not set it aside either
for for you and in order to receive salvation and
healing and cleansing and keeping power and to have our
prayers answered. must pay the price; and when see
how very far away from God the majority Of people,
then not surprised that they receive little; and it
only strengthens my faith in God and in His being true to
His Word
God is not going to heal me- or heal you unless pay
the price and make straight for the Throne of Cod
have tried hard to lead the people away from the
poor eeng pershng things of earth to the things of God
and thank God that many have responded and have
good progress but all there is yet for vast i'm
provement and progress
Elders you get closer to God than you and
have felt that than have had to face
great problems and have had to look up into the face of
Cod because God did not help would have to
give up He has yet failed me- but has heard and
answered prayer look up into His face and say Father
this work is Your work; could do it, would only
away if were left to myself You must sustain and
open windows Heaven and all that necessary
for the redemption of ZION CITY to Your honor and glory
Humanity cannot be depended upon because some will
say and they do no others will say nothing and they do
something; they like the two mentioned in the
parable which the Lord Jesus the Christ propounded
THE IMPORTANCE DWELLING SECRET PLACE OF THE
MOST HIGH
Oh! have felt increasingly, every day, the Importance
of what dwe in the Secret Place of the Most
High"
ZoN tell you this afternoon that in the Secret
Place of the Most High there sin, there lying
there mpurty there is doubledeang there no
guile, there is selshness and there is love of the
things of this world and until has swept all those
things aside he talk about having made full surrender
and about dwelling in the Secret Place of the Most High
and still be the borderland for he has not had
glimpse of that beautiful place where God dwells That is
just what it means-nothing and nothing less, and
think that everybody here understands.
How many acts Of mercy have you ever performed?
How many deeds of love? How often have you died that
others might live?
What does it to be in the Image of God?
My brothers and sisters do hard thinking when
you go home from this meeting this evening" that question
will ring in your to your dying day. you will ever
member this meeting always aim to make each meeting
a memorable by simple statement.
All! yes of you very particular about having
home upon the EARTH but would rather be of
a Home in Heaven and live in barn while here Some
people spend all of their tme their strength and their
talents for place here this earth where they will stay
for little while only; but what have they in Heaven?
My brothers and sisters for nothing upon this
earth but only for Home in Heaven
WHAT DOES 1T MEAN TO BE IN THE IMAGE OF
GOD?
Take this entire congregation Here sit these Elders
God looks at the heart of each and of you may show
of the Image of God than another All the average
life of processing Christians, sham deluson and
a snare and amounts to nothing
Where is the who will throw himself absolutely
into of his God and trust Him absolutely, and
spend and be spent in the service of humanity?
SALVATION THE RESTORATION THE IMAGE OF GOD
My brothers and sisters salvation is simply the restora-
ton Of that Image healing simply the restoration of that
Image it is wonderful process and only the blood of the
Christ accomplish it, and that Image will be restored
only as you yield yourselves to God the Almighty.
