SPIRITUAL TRUTH
FOR THE LAST DAYS #2

Prophesy

(Tongues) Yea, saith the Lord, unto the coven in Commack, saith God, I shall expose thee, saith the Lord. Thou shalt be a secret no longer, saith God, in the face of this, my land, saith the Lord, that permits witchcraft to function. I am a higher law, saith the Lord God. Yea, even the Supreme Court has declared you to be legal, but I saith the Lord, thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Indeed, my law is higher, saith God. Indeed, my judgment shall prevail, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall cast thee down and I say unto thee now, think not of retaliation, for indeed, if thou even think of it, thou shall have sealed their own doom. Indeed, my people, saith the Lord, that I have raised up to execute my judgment, saith God, I have defended them, saith the Lord, even with the power of my Spirit, saith God. Look not toward your evil works, for surely thou shalt not survive this thing. I shall expose thee and I shall bring thee before my appointed officers of the law. Work your witchcraft against my believers and thou shalt surely die.

Praise the Lord. We're talking about the sons of God and a lot of Christians not understanding what it means. The people that don't understand seem to feel that it's a soul man taking on the qualities or thinking that he's a god, but that's not the case at all. In the book of Exodus, the Lord said to Moses, I shall send you unto pharaoh and you shall be as a god unto him and Aaron shall be your prophet. So what that means is when the Lord is manifesting in you to the extent that every word you say to somebody is Christ, you are a god, for that moment. As I understand the scriptures, the day is coming that that moment shall become a moment without end. But this is the reality of the sons of God message, that Christ shall appear in our every thought, word and deed to such an extent that we shall be as gods. Aaron was his prophet because Aaron was the one who was speaking the words. That's the whole crux of the sons of God message. It's right there in the old testament. When God appears in a man, that man becomes a god. We even took it a step further when we discussed this the last time, that the scripture says, ye are gods, speaking to Israel, ye are gods, but ye shall die as men. What that means is that Israel was the recipient of the word of God. The Lord is saying to them that Christ doesn't even have to be appearing in you. If you have access to the law of God, that means you have the potential to be a god. If I open up this book to Exodus 20, I believe, and I read the ten commandments and I implement them, I am moving in the God sphere. But He said to Israel, you are gods, but you shall die as men. Why? Because they had the book and they didn't implement it. They didn't do it. They were gods, but they died like men. They had what it took to become a god, but they didn't do what they had to do to become the god. Can you hear that? Glory to God.

Here in the new covenant, we're going to be empowered to do what we have to do to become gods because it's going to be Christ, not outside of us in a book, but Christ within us that's going to empower us to think the thoughts, speak the words and do the deeds of Christ and we shall be as gods. So what I started to say to bring this whole thing up is as the sons of God manifest, we can be gods at one moment and natural men in another moment. But one of the things that's happening is that the Lord is starting to execute the judgments against sin through believers that have a close walk with Him. Anyone listening to this tape, only the Lord Jesus Christ can determine whether your walk is close enough for you to be a participant of this kind of ministry. You can talk about it all you want, you could set yourself up, you could declare yourself, you can tear down people to whom it's been granted; it's not going to do you one bit of good. The Lord is in His people today and He is executing judgment against sin. Now believers that don't understand what's happening can misconstrue this. They'll turn around and say you're doing it out of your own heart. How can you judge somebody? You're cursing them. No brethren, you have to discern the spirit. If you can't discern the spirit, you best be quiet because you can't oppose the judgment of God when He's the one that's executing it. You're in danger. You're in danger.

God had been having me tell you for the last few weeks; I just can't stop talking about it, for whatever reason. I am His prophet, if you don't know it. When I sit up here, I'm speaking His word. Lord willing, it's going to fall on ears that are going to listen. Remember Ananias and Sapphira. Now I don't know anybody today that's raised up to the point that Peter was raised up to, but I believe that there are believers in the earth in whom God is manifesting in great power. You can't be coming against these people. Ananias and Sapphira died and all they did was tell a lie about money that they had. In my carnal brain, sometimes God's ways boggles my mind. But I just know one thing and I won't waver from it, Lord willing, that He's righteous. If I can't understand it, that's my problem. But God killed Ananias and Sapphira because they lied about how much the land was worth. They didn't kill anybody. They didn't steal anything. They didn't commit adultery and He killed them because they lied about how much money they sold their land for. Do you hear what I'm saying to you? The believers in the church today, I fear for them because they don't believe any of this. They don't believe the judgments can fall on them. They don't.

They think it's for the people that aren't saved. I keep using that expression, myself, but you all know how I feel about it. We're not saved until Christ appears in us permanently. We are in the process of being saved; spirit, soul and body. They don't believe this, brethren. They think they're king's kids and if they make a mistake, God might correct them and give them a lollipop. But brethren, the message coming forth in this ministry is just an example of the message of reconciliation, the message of sonship, that's coming forth in other ministries that's being rejected largely by the church world. You can't do it. You have to stop doing it. I just feel so helpless sometimes. What are we going to do when those judgments fall? We're going to stand there and we're going to watch it. We're going to watch them go into the hospital. We're going to watch them die. We're going to watch them go into financial ruin. We're going to watch it. I'm not kidding. It's going to happen. We're going to have to be able to bear it. The Hebrews stood there and they saw the first born of the Egyptians killed. So you say to me, well, that was the Egyptians, it wasn't the Hebrews. Well brethren, if you're opposing the will of God, you're not a Hebrew, you're a heathen. Can you hear that? He's been calling to you and calling to you and calling to you. You can't hear Him because your carnal mind is ruling and that makes you a heathen.

I can't get off this subject. It's been going on for three or four services. Remember Ananias and Sapphira. Praise the Lord. Our God is righteous and His judgments are merciful and they lead unto repentance. I'm telling you, brethren, it's going to be something to see. It's going to be something to see. The Lord better do something with me because I'm not prepared to deal with it. I'm telling you right now I'm just a person. I'm just a human being. The woman that lives downstairs from me, a young woman not even forty, was in an accident with a drunk driver. She may never walk without a brace again, unless the Lord has mercy on her. The man across the street lost his leg because of diabetes. The woman across the street, upstairs, had a tumor the size of a football taken out of her. It's everywhere. You think because the flu shots are getting stronger, you have nothing to worry about. That's just the beginning of a whole onslaught of diseases that medical science is absolutely impotent with regard to. A believer in this ministry that has the flu went to a doctor because she was so sick that she really got concerned. She had called me three days in a row for prayer. I rebuked it three days in a row and she kept getting worse. She called me the fourth day and I asked the Lord to please anoint me to heal her or that it should be His prayer because I had prayed for her for three days and she kept getting worse. Well, He did. I saw in a vision that the fire of God was within her lungs and without her lungs. Within three hours she went to the doctor and he said her lungs were clear. She had been bringing up all kinds of mucus. I really thought she had a touch of pneumonia. She, me and her mother all thought that she had a touch of pneumonia and nobody wanted to say anything. She went to the doctor and her lungs were clear. He told her she had an allergy. You should hear this woman; she's hopping, coughing, her nose is all stuffed up. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, so he told her she had an allergy. Ridiculous, but what had happened was that the Lord had healed her although the symptoms were left, but he technically couldn't find anything wrong with her. So he told her she had an allergy because he didn't know what to say.

Once my sister went to the doctor. She's dead now. She wasn't saved and she died from cancer. She must have been playing with her ear and something came out of her ear where you would expect wax to be and it was green. So she went running to the doctor and he said to her aren't you too old to be sticking a green crayon in your ear? My sister was a married woman with three children at the time. He didn't know what it was. It's the same thing like the lady in the diner. I told her it was too hot and she told me there was something wrong with me. No one will admit when they don't know something. They don't want to admit when they're wrong. I don't mean everybody; I'm talking about large numbers of people. They won't admit when they don't know something; they won't admit when they're wrong; they won't admit when they need help; and what spirit is that? Pride! It's killing everybody. It's killing the world. I can't get off of this. Maybe it's coming real soon. I don't know. I just can't change the subject. Glory to God. Alleluia! Thank you Jesus.

I believe that the personality as we know it now is going to be utterly destroyed and this is the explanation for the scripture that says there's no male or female, bond or free, Jew or Greek and that all men are equal in Christ. How could this be? I've been throughout the church world. Some people are poor, very poor. Some people are rich, very rich. Some people are healthy, some people are very sick. Some people are very bright and well educated. Some people are very bright and not well educated. Some people are retarded. How could you tell me that we're all equal in Christ? Well the answer is, Brethren, that this personality is going to be utterly destroyed. When Christ appears in you in the fullness, when He becomes your every thought, word and deed; the person that you are will cease to exist. Paul said, I live, yet not I, but Christ in me. He died. He said in another scripture, that he was crucified to the world. What is the world? The world is the cosmos of his own being. Within the cosmos of his own soul, the Christ that had appeared in him was crucified to the soul of the man known as Paul or Saul of Tarsus. He became a new creature. So he still lived and you could look at him and see his body and you thought you knew who he was, but it wasn't him; it was Christ in him.

Question: When you say we're going to lose our personality, are you saying that when we fully manifest Christ, we're going to lose our uniqueness?

Sheila: I don't believe that. I do not believe that we're all going to be the same. I think that we will continue to be unique, but I also believe that the body and soul respond to the ruling spirit. So when Christ appears completely in a mongoloid person, for example, that mongoloidism will no longer exist. Mongolism affects a person's features and it affects their soul. That is a curse that is upon the spirit that's ruling in that vessel. When the spirit that's ruling in that vessel becomes Christ, their soul will become free from sin and holy and their body will receive the life of the ages. So it's going to look like you; you're going to look the same. Paul said, I live, yet not I, but Christ in me. He looked the same. People knew that he was Paul. They heard his voice, they talked to him; they knew he was Paul. But the old Paul was completely gone. Not only the Saul that killed Christians, but every manifestation of his soul life that was swallowed up into Christ. Pray about it; I know it's hard, but I believe it's the truth of the scripture. So there is going to be variation. We're not all going to be the same. We're going to look the same and as the Spirit of Christ is expressed through our soul, there will be variations in our personality because there is variation in the souls of men as there is variation in flowers. But as the Spirit of Christ manifests through an individual soul, there will be variation. There will be variation, but the soul in everybody will be holy. All of those variations will be holy and there will be variations in the bodies, but all of the bodies will have attained to the life of the ages. I can't give you any more information about it now as to what the variations are going to be, but I hope that I answered your question somewhat.

It's going to be an equalization. The retarded are going to receive the mind of Christ. The brilliant are going to remain brilliant, if not become more brilliant, but they're no longer going to be using this brilliancy for evil means. They're going to have mercy on their brethren. It's going to go in another direction. See, if you're brilliant, you're not going to be made stupid. If you're brilliant the Lord is going to appropriate it and use it to His glory. If you're retarded, you're going to be made brilliant. Glory to God. I get so excited I could jump up and down. All these people out there; if I were to go into another church and tell them, they wouldn't believe me. They wouldn't believe me. All they want is their Cadillac and their house. I know that we have needs that need to be met now. We have someone here who needs a job; I know that. God is going to meet your need. He's got to meet your need. He has to or He wouldn't be righteous. He has to meet your need. But brethren, it's much more than that. He will meet our needs until He gets us to the place that our needs are met from the mature Christ within us, until He is so mature in us that there is no need; that just because we exist, everything that we need flocks to us.

Did you ever meet anybody like that? They can't fail, no matter what they do, they make money. Their kids are okay. They're happy in their marriage. They can't fail. I knew a man like that once. He was a salesman and everybody was jealous of him. The head of the company took his territory away from him. He had taken this territory that was a nothing territory and built it up by sheer guts and hard work. It was taken from him and given to somebody else because he was making too much money and they wanted to cut him down. They gave him the worst territory available. In six months he had turned it into a gold mine. There are people like that, but it's a witchcraft power, I want you to know. But that's what Christ in you is going to do. The man can't fail; he's even happy in his marriage, I hear. To have that kind of money and be happily married is very unusual. But you know, that man follows spiritual principles. (What is going on here tonight? I can't seem to get into my message for the night) That man follows spiritual principles. He gives to the poor; he helps people less fortunate than himself; he takes time to be concerned about the needs of the average people. He is reaping what he sows. Brethren. You don't have to be saved to reap what you sow. You really don't. That's just a spiritual law that exists in the earth. Every man is subject to it. God is no respecter of persons. Every human being when they're filled with Christ is going to have everything. Glory to God. Yet we're going to look like we look now.

Question: When our bodies are changed, we're still going to look different than we do now. We're still going to be individuals, but we're going to look different, right?

Sheila: First of all, are you talking about the condition that Jesus was in before the crucifixion or the condition He was in after the crucifixion?

Question: Well I wasn't thinking about that at all. I was thinking about the verse that says we're going to change, but I was putting that together with what we were talking about now; keeping our individual personality. Is that personality expressed through our bodies going to still look the same and yet we're going to be changed?

Sheila: I don't know. It's my opinion that when we're raised up to the position that Christ was in, that Jesus was in before He was crucified, that we will still look like we look now. There might be some changes depending largely upon if we are ill, our bodies may become more robust. But Paul was recognizable as Paul. However, after the glorification, I don't know what we're going to look like. We are going to be spiritual entities that can take on any form that we want. This is the fulfillment of Jacob's ladder. Are you familiar with the sons of Zadok? We're going to have the ability to shed the body and enter into the realm of the spirit where Jesus is now. At our will we will be able to enter into this realm of appearance. What are we going to look like when we enter into the realm of appearance? As I understand the scriptures, Jesus took on many forms. Now let's go over this. We know that we're all spiritual life. We're spiritual life dwelling in a soul and a body. For this spiritual life to enter into this realm of appearance in this hour, what has to happen to that spiritual life? Does anybody know? We have to be born as a baby. That's how you get into this world. You have to be born as a baby. That's how you get into this life. When you're born as a baby, you have to grow up. You have to say goo goo. You have to learn how to talk. You have to go through all of this stuff.

Take me for example, I don't like to tell anyone my age. I still have vanity, but I was around for a long time. I had no scriptural background at all. I didn't know the bible at all. Look at what God did for me in nine or ten years. Look at the message He's put in my mouth. Who would believe it? There are people that were learning the scriptures from five years old, who are in a family line of people going to church for ten generations and haven't got an understanding of this message. My whole point is I had to be born as a natural baby. I had to go through everything that I went through, all of the nightmare and horror that my life was. I had to learn to walk; I had to learn to talk; I had to be hurt; I had to be abused; I had to be cast down; I had to be rejected and here I am after all these years (and I'm not going to tell you my age) standing here preaching this glorious word. I'm telling you this is not pride because I'm a joke. I have this on other tapes, I'm a joke. God, by manifesting through me is mocking the whole church world because He's breaking every rule. When He manifested in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, He broke every rule. Jesus healed on the Sabbath; He plucked the corn; He did everything He wasn't suppose to do. Well brethren, He's breaking every rule with me. I'm not supposed to be here. This is not suppose to be happening. I'm a woman; I was suppose to be dead when I was twelve years old; (the doctors pronounced me dead at twelve years old). I had diseases that they just couldn't deal with. I had doctors that wouldn't call me back. They wouldn't call me back. They wanted me to go away because they didn't know what to do with me. I'm supposed to be dead. So I'm suppose to be dead; I'm a woman; I didn't go to seminary school; and I didn't graduate secular college. All of the wisdom that I have comes from the Christ within me. Besides that, my voice squeaks, I've been told. I sound like a child. Well, that's just tough on all of you that don't like it. Do you want to hear this glorious word or don't you? What can I tell you? He picked me. He's laughing at you. He's laughing at everyone of you that's turning away from me because of any of the qualities I've just named or any other quality that your carnal mind can conjure up. He's laughing at you. I don't know what's going on here tonight. I do have a message for you. Maybe God is going to cancel it. Father, if you're canceling the message, I just pray that you quicken it to me. I really don't want to cross you for anything. I want to submit to you in all things.

So to go back to your question, after we're glorified, if we are spiritual life in the realm of the spirit and we want to enter into this realm of appearance, we are not going to have to be born as a baby. We are going to have the ability to will to appear in this realm of appearance and it's going to go zzzz like in Star trek. (Laughter) We are going to appear as a full grown adult person manifesting our spiritual maturity.

Question: Philip in the bible was translated from one place to another. Do you think that was a manifestation where he entered that realm of glorification?

Sheila: I don't know. I even prayed about this. I have asked the Lord when Philip traveled in the spirit, whether he took his body with him or not. The Lord never answered me, so I don't know. But in any event, I think I would have to say no to you, because Philip was already existing in the soul realm. What he did was travel from one place to the other. But I'm talking about someone whose natural body will have been broken up and dissolved, who will have ascended to the right hand of the Father like where Jesus is right now, who will be an invisible spirit and desire to appear in this meeting and he'll be here. He could stay in this realm of appearance for as long as he wants and go back to the Father. Are you familiar with the sons of Zadok? That's the implication of the sons of Zadok. When they leave the presence of the Lord, they have to change their garments. To come into this realm of appearance, you need a soul and a body. But when you appear before the Lord, you go as pure spirit.

Do you believe this? No one else believes it. I'm glad you believe it. They tell me I'm not a Christian, but it's true; God is a Spirit. His people are being called to be spiritual people. There's much more to this than getting a job. I know that you need a job. I need a job. Everybody needs a job. We need a house; we need clothing; we need food, but that's just like taking a little baby and saying, honey, I'm going to take care of you until you become a man and you could do it for yourself. God is meeting our needs, but this isn't the end. We're going to become spirits. We're going to become spirits that have access to the right hand of the Father at will, in the fullness. We're going to be superior spiritual beings. God! Can you hear this? Glory to God.

We were talking Sunday night about workers of witchcraft, that have the ability to run their finger along the human body and make an incision and pull tumors out. When I first heard it, I said wow. I said, Lord, we children of light are so far behind these children of darkness. I thought that they were advanced of us, but the Lord said to me, not so. He said, I don't do that. I don't make incisions and pull out tumors, whether it be with the scalpel of a doctor or the witchcraft of a worker of iniquity. He said, I don't do that. I just pierce the skin with my power and burn it up. I was reading the ten commandments today. He said, if you follow these commandments you shall not be sick. He didn't say you'll have one disease and you won't have another disease or maybe if the virus is too strong, you'll get it. He said, you shall not be sick. God, this is just too glorious. I declare to you, brethren, these preachers that won't accept this; He's taking them down because they're blocking this knowledge from the people. There's a woman at work that I love dearly. If she hears this tape someday, I love her and she knows I love her. She's very new and she's going to a church in the Bronx. That's a typical church and I minister a lot of this deep stuff to her. She knows that I don't celebrate Easter, but I don't really expect anybody to come out of Easter and Christmas that quickly, especially when the whole church that she's going to, celebrates it. She went to the cantata at another church and she told me it was glorious. The Pastor kept warning everybody saying, now remember what we're celebrating is the resurrection. What her voice was saying to me was, oh Sheila, you know I love you, but you must be wrong. What could possibly be wrong with it? I didn't say anything to her because she's not ready for that.

But these pastors are not telling these people the truth. I don't know at what point it's going to happen, but He's taking them down. I don't know how He's going to do it. I heard a preacher preach once that they're going to be dropping dead in the pulpit. I'm not cursing anybody. I'm repeating the opinion of this preacher. I don't have an opinion. But somehow these people have to come out from under the bondage of these men because the people are innocent. They don't know and they look to these men and they have these big fancy churches with fancy seats and carpeting and forty piece bands. They stand up there and the people believe them. Someone else asked me this week, I don't understand why you can't gather with your family on Easter. I really don't understand. I told her God never told us to celebrate the resurrection. Where in the scripture did He tell us to celebrate the resurrection? We cannot worship God the way we want to worship Him. We have to worship Him the way He wants us to worship Him. That's why you can't celebrate Easter. That's why you can't celebrate Easter. He told you not to do it. I read you the scripture in Ezekiel a couple of services ago. In the Old Testament He told you not to do it. In the New Testament He never told you to do it. Why are you doing it?

This gets back to our teaching beginning in the book of Revelation. If you want to be a son of God and go on with the Lord, you have to start discerning your own motives. You have to look into the depths of your unconscious mind. If you can't do it, ask the Lord. He'll give you the strength to do it. You have to find out why you're thinking what you're thinking and why you're doing what you're doing. If your motive is not God, you have to stop, by His power. You can't enter into the kingdom, brethren, listening to Satan and saying, well, I'm innocent because it was my unconscious mind and I didn't know. In this new covenant, God is giving us the power to discern the intents of our own hearts. He's holding us responsible for it. He's no longer winking at you doing something because you tell yourself you didn't know better. I think lots of people that do it know better. Maybe some people don't, but it doesn't matter. I pray about every thought that comes into my mind, as innocent as it may seem. You can't be worshiping God any way you want. What if somebody comes up and says I'm going to worship Jehovah by sacrificing my son. I know that's an extreme example, but there was human sacrifice in the old covenant. Well if you can celebrate the resurrection when He doesn't tell you to do it and that's alright, well why can't you sacrifice your son to Jehovah? What's wrong with that? Why can't he do it if that poor guy wants to kill his kid? What's wrong with that? Where do you draw the line? You can't do anything you want. You have to worship Him in accordance with His prescription. Glory to God. The whole world has minds that are utterly deceived.

I think this message I had prepared is canceled. (Tongues) I want to pray for Cathy, Lord. She said she was going to try and get here tonight after months of being kept away and she didn't make it. I just pray for your will in her life, Lord. If you don't get her here, she's not going to come. That's pretty obvious.

(Tongues) Have your way, Lord. Thank you Jesus. (Tongues)

Thus saith the Lord, as I have canceled this teaching tonight, saith God and indeed thou hast submitted to my Spirit in that way, saith the Lord, I require all my people to submit to me. Even the dancing and the singing, saith God, if it is not ordained of me, it is not praise and worship unto me. Praise and worship unto me is submission unto my Spirit, saith God. Indeed, the hour is at hand, saith the Lord, that I will reveal myself to my church in great power and fire and flame and pestilence. There shall be much chagrin, saith the Lord, and many tears and great shock, saith God. Many shall fall, saith the Lord, indeed, even unto their death, for I am a righteous God. I will tolerate this mockery of me no longer, saith the Lord. For indeed I have sent forth the man with the writer's inkhorn, saith the Lord, and I have instructed him to seal those that moan and wail and cry for Israel, saith God. And the sealing is nigh unto completed, saith the Lord. Behind him walk the sixth, saith God and I have indeed instructed them to destroy all those without the seal. Yea, even in my own house, saith God, starting with the elders. Alleluia. Glory to God. (Tongues) Thank you Jesus. Glory to God!

(Worship in a song service followed)

Prophesy from someone in congregation: Truly I sent my word to you this night and truly I have sent the oil of my anointing. I will have my way, saith the Lord thy God, even as I have shown you tonight that I will have my way and I will overcome your will saith the Lord, thy God. I will smite the enemy utterly and destroy him, saith the Lord thy God. I will manifest my very life, saith the Lord thy God, so that there is nothing left but me, saith the Lord. Alleluia.

Sheila: Let's sing one more song. I think the Lord has ministry for everybody.

Song: I saw the Lord.

Sheila: (Tongues) Yea, little one, saith the Lord, I have heard thee, saith God. Yea, indeed, thy cries have come up to me and I have come down to deliver thee. Yea, saith God, I shall bring deliverance in thy mind. I shall bring forth forgiveness. And I shall cast out the oppressor, saith the Living God.

Self destruction, loose her and let her go; let her go. I break the box that you're hiding in. Hopelessness, despair; I break the curse of destruction upon her life. I break the curse of the lying spirit. (Tongues) Yea, saith the Lord, I shall destroy that feeble and vile self image that thou hast, saith God, because of thy experience. I shall restore, indeed. I shall give thee a new self image; indeed, my image, saith the Lord. Thou shalt rise up in the power of my son, saith God and thou shalt come forth as pure gold.

I will have mercy on your family, saith the Lord. I see thy faithfulness, saith the Lord. I have discerned the intents of thy heart and I have found thee faithful, saith God. Indeed, my armour is upon you and my angels around you. Thou shalt not fall, saith God. Thou shalt stand by the power of my Spirit.

Yea, this night, saith God, I have invested you in the priesthood, saith the Lord. Stand up for your family, for indeed I have enabled thee, with the power to forgive their sins. Know the office that I have called you to, saith the Lord. Stand up and intercede for your own. I shall hear your voice.

Fear not, saith the Lord, for I am with thee. I shall restore, saith the Lord. I shall make a way where there is no way, saith God. I shall bring life where there is death. I shall bring healing where there is disease. There is no hopelessness in God, saith the Lord. Indeed, I am the God of the impossible. Have I not told you so in my word? Indeed, I am the God of the impossible. I am the God of the mentally ill, saith the Lord. All shall bend their knee to me, saith God. I am the God of the drug addict, saith the Lord. I am the God of the quick and the dead. I have not forgotten you, saith the Lord. I indeed shall visit thee in the near future and those who you have believed me for.

I rebuke these thoughts that are attacking you. Glory to God!

Sheila: The Lord wanted me to put this on the tape. I went to sleep last night in a very good mood. For those of you that don't know me, I'm tormented a lot in my mind and I have been fighting torment in my mind all my life. It was destroying me when I came to the Lord. I've been battling with it for years. So I went to sleep last night feeling very happy. I woke up this morning feeling very happy. I walked into the supermarket and all of a sudden, I was thinking about something really unfortunate that happened to me, six, seven, eight years ago. No, more than that, ten or eleven years ago. I was feeling bad about it and I caught it and I said, where did that thought come from? That's eleven or twelve years old and there's nothing I could do about it. There's no way that I could correct it and I'm being miserable about it here in 1989. This isn't right. I said, Lord, where did that thought come from and what does this mean? He said to me, that was Satan manifesting and ascending from the bottomless pit in your own mind from the depths of your unconscious mind to destroy your joy. Just the fact that you could discern it, this is the manifestation of the pale horse; if you remember the teachings on the four horses, the first four seals of the book of Revelation.

As we progress into being sons of God, the Lord is going to give us the ability to discern Satan when he whispers in our ear, so that we can overcome him. If you remember, there are two ways that we're going to be converted to Christ. Either we're in the first fruits company and we're going to wage war with Christ against our carnal mind and Satan in the unconscious element of the carnal mind or we are going to not be in that category. The other category is going to remain joined to Satan because they are unable to discern him and they will be joined to him when the Lamb wages war against him. So the Lord just wanted me to share this with you that I apparently am among the company that, at least, is being given the privilege of discerning the hissing and the whispering and the thoughts of the unconscious mind. In other men, that aren't schooled or blessed in this area by the Lord, this thought would pop into their mind and they would just go into extreme depression or they would commit crimes or do terrible things without even realizing that the serpent had just whispered in their ear. So it's in the earth today.

I know I've talked about dispensations in these meetings. There are many promises in the word of God, but for you to even have a chance of receiving that promise, you have to be living in the hour when the Lord is making that promise available to men. The example I gave the last time was that, in my opinion, the glorified body is not available to men today. I believe the church is at least two thousand years behind Jesus, if not more than that, with regard to the glorified body. I don't believe God is going to give anyone a glorified body. Of course, I could be wrong; this is my opinion and my understanding of the scriptures. You could pray and fast for the next hundred years and I don't believe you're going to get a glorified body because this is not the hour for the glorified body. If you are a member of natural Israel and you got a revelation of the Spirit of Adoption, you could have prayed and fasted for a hundred years and you couldn't get it because Jesus hadn't been crucified yet. It wasn't available yet. If you were one of the apostles and you had a revelation that the Holy Spirit was going to be poured out upon all flesh and you prayed and fasted, you couldn't get it before it came down on the apostles in the day of Pentecost. If it wasn't available, you can't get it.

So apparently, in this hour, this anointing to discern the whisper of Satan in your own unconscious mind and be able to resist him means that you are joined with Christ in waging war against him, if you can say amen to this. That's at least a sign that you are amongst the first fruits company in whom Christ is going to appear. The believers who wage war against their unconscious mind are going to be among the first in whom He is going to appear. I don't mean to sound harsh or cruel, to be excluding of anybody because God is no respecter of persons. If you're hearing this tape, don't get upset with me and say that I'm locking you out of the first fruits company. I'm not. All you have to do is ask the Lord, if you can hear this word and you want to be a part of the first fruits company. I'm telling you, brethren, you're not entering in without warfare. You're not entering into the kingdom as a member of the first fruits company without waging war with the Lamb against your conscious and then your unconscious mind.

There will be people that will go in without waging war, but they're not going to be among the first fruits company. They're going to go in the hard way. They're going to be joined to Satan when the judgments fall upon them. Well, you're going in either way. There's no condemnation here. But if you have a desire to be among the first fruits company and you don't believe that you can relate to what I'm telling you, well just tell the Lord you want it. I'm not locking anybody out. God is no respecter of persons. It's not easy, brethren. It's a powerful warfare and it's in your mind. It's in your mind. The Lord has shown me, I'm a foot that severely afflicted frequently. There's two tactics that He's given me and they never fail. One is passive and one is aggressive, depending on how badly I'm afflicted. The aggressive tactic is to get into the word. Now in my case, He's shown me that it's my carnal mind that's attacking me. To take the victory, I have to transfer into the mind of Christ. In my case, it's studying. Sometimes it's just reading the word of God. But however He manifests it to you, maybe just reading the bible will be enough for you.

The point I'm trying to make is there has to be an exchange of souls. There are many ways your carnal mind could be manifesting. Your carnal mind can rise up in great power putting fear or depression or anxiety on you. He could be encouraging you to sin. It could be lust; it could be a lot of things. You've got to get out of your carnal mind. There's another soul available to you. It's in your mind. His name is Christ; Christ Jesus. By His power, you have to exchange into his soul. When you do that, the reality of what happens is that He bruises Satan or your carnal mind underfoot. We've been talking about this in these meetings, that this bouncing back and forth is a manifestation known as the earthquake. It's described in the book of revelation as an earthquake. You bounce back and forth and one day you're going to go shooting out of your carnal mind and you're going to stay joined to the soul of Christ. But in this season we're only shooting back and forth. So the first thing I try to do is get into a study. If I'm too afflicted to do it, the next thing I do is to put on an anointed tape and it just pulls me right out of it. It just works. The anointing comes right off the tape and defeats the attack. It doesn't happen to me so much now, but I used to be attacked so badly that I couldn't even help myself. I wouldn't even put on a tape. I'd go and do something that would make me worse.

So this is an overcoming process and if you want to be part of the first fruits company, you're going to have to be dealing with ungodly thoughts in your conscious mind and ultimately in your unconscious mind. The Lord actually let me discern the whisper of the serpent today. It was very exciting and I got mad at him because he's been doing this to me all my life. I'd be miserable and I'd say why am I miserable? Why am I miserable? I really didn't know what was wrong with me. For years, even after I came to the Lord; I didn't know what was wrong with me. So He just wanted me to share that with you. The warfare is real and if you're listening to this tape, the chances are you are called to this company. You have to join with Christ and wage war against him. He's inside your head. He's not a red freak out there in left field. There's no vacation from him. He's with you constantly; in your sleep, in your waking hours. But the end is glorious. It's a great privilege to be called to the first fruits company. It's a great privilege to be called to the warfare. If you're hearing this message, the chances are, if you want it, it's yours. Glory to God. But you've got to fight. You've got to fight, brethren. Alleluia! God bless you. The Lord really surprised us tonight. Thank God for it. Glory to God!

Congregation: I was looking at television and I can't even remember what the subject was, but a woman was talking about something bad that had happened to her. It brought back something that happened years ago and I got depressed. I got up and I turned the television off and I said why am I thinking about this? I went in my room and I did something else and I completely forgot about it after that. But I can remember times when I would think about that thing that happened years ago and get mad at all those people that did that to me. I thank God for that because now I can't even remember what it was.

Satan is a vicious task master. He wants to destroy you with his thoughts in you. He's killing you with death. That's what that means. He's killing you with death with his mind. I'm telling you, something is happening real soon. Glory to God.
