2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

Isaiah 51:2-3

1 ¶ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

Psalms 32:1-2

Our Father in heaven is allowing us to experience salvation in such a way that I personally don’t think has ever happened before on this planet, except in Jesus Christ himself. I say that because the understanding that we have is becoming so high and going so deep into the heart issues of life, I’ve never read or remember hearing anything about anyone experiencing things like this. Now, I read where people wanted to and where they believed it was possible but I believe for me, myself, the experience of salvation God is giving me is bringing me to a completed perfection. I’m not saying I don’t see faults. I’m not saying I’m perfect like Jesus; I’m saying I see light at the end of the tunnel and that the Lord is bringing me to that place, and I see it not just in myself, but in people around me – other people who understand the truth as it is in Jesus Christ – and this is something I want more than anything in my life. I want to be made whole, whole – that is what "144,000" means in the Bible; that is what that symbol number means – the complete body of Christ, "complete" in that they are made whole – the whole body, those who have been healed.

In this study I want to share with you, I call it a personal testimony concerning my salvation and the understanding God is giving me by means of experience. My experience in Jesus is growing – even the times when I seem to fall backward, I realize the progress I have made going forward and I praise God for that, and you know, no one else needs to see it in order for it to be confirmed in my heart. I see it; I know something is happening and I can only praise God for what He is working in my life. The reason I make the videos and send out audio tapes, and so on, is so that you can have the experience too. Now let me tell you something – for me, it’s essential that you get this: As I go through this study, I am going to be discussing things that I have already explained in past studies, explained in more detail. I will touch on things and I will give a little bit of background, but I’m not going to go into detail – I can’t, time doesn’t permit that. And I see that when I send out studies to individuals that I will see later on, say six months later or a year later, I’m realizing they’re either not watching the studies or they’re not taking the time to understand them – You can’t keep doing that. We are born with two problems in particular: 1) we don’t know anything about God; 2) because of that, we don’t know our value to God. Because we don’t know anything about Him, we don’t know our value to Him, and the fact that you don’t know the value of who you are causes you to want to reach out and find value wherever you can.

Now those places where we have reached, the way we’ve responded to the emptiness, that is what makes us, us. Everyone has reached for something different – that is what makes you, you. In order for God to heal those wounds and fill the emptiness, He has to first bring you to an understanding of who He is. There are doctrinal things we need to grasp before God can take that truth and reach into our hearts, give us understanding that will straighten out the iniquity of the heart. Sin is the result of iniquity; "sin" is when we resist the grace of God – the impression of the heart. Why would we do that? Because we don’t have an understanding of God, nor of ourselves. Once we understand doctrinally who God is and who man is and what has happened to us, the Lord can take those things and straighten out the iniquity of the heart. The beauty of this message is that we have gone beyond the doctrinal thing and have now entered into emotional healing. Now, if you haven’t, it’s because either you’re not applying the understanding you have or you’re not taking the time to understand.

In the sanctuary (two compartments), the "holy place" and the "most holy place" – a veil separates the two. That "veil" is the symbol of our misunderstandings, our confusion about God. When the veil comes down, Babylon is fallen. When the veil comes down, you can now see the "Ark of the Covenant" – you see it, you have that understanding – you see the cherubim on top, you see the lid and you see God between the cherubim. All of that is simply a symbol of the understanding that we carry in Christ as He reveals Himself to us. The veil comes down and now you’re beyond the veil, and you have entered into atonement – the "Day of Atonement" is when the fit man can lead away the "scapegoat" or the angry god.

All of the feast days (now see, this is something you have got to understand) ... it is essential that you see the "feast days" as fulfillments in each one’s heart individually. All of us have experienced "Passover" ... you enter the feast of "unleavened bread." On the third feast day, you enter the "Promised Land" – that’s the abiding truth ... you enter the Promised Land. Fifty days later you receive Holy Spirit – think about it – Pentecost, the fourth feast day you receive Holy Spirit, you see? In that sanctuary are two compartments: the "Holy Place" and "Most Holy." What does "holy" even mean? "Holy" simply means set apart. When you look at Passover, when you enter into Passover, you are set apart from the world, but it isn’t until the Day of Pentecost you receive a set apart mind – set apart from the world; set apart from the lie. You now possess an understanding of the love of God to the point that it is healing you, and you experience your "Pentecost": the realization of Holy Spirit. You have been led by God’s Holy Spirit all along, but to possess Holy Spirit is something different.

The life of Jesus Christ was a symbol – His entire life was simply a symbol, or a picture of the believer. Everything that happened to that man in His life pictures what happens to us. He died on Passover; He was raised on the third feast day. In that man’s life, when He came out of the grave (as we know from years back), His mind had been brought to a place of perfection – He possessed Holy Spirit; He was in the Promised Land. That is a picture of you coming out of your death, entering into the Promised Land. But remember, Christ taught the apostles for forty days – "forty" is simply a picture – "forty" is a number, a symbol number. For me, I understand "ten" to be the abiding number. Another way to say "ten" is this is the way God understands it – 4 times 10 is 40 – "4" is your earthly completeness. For "forty days," see, you enter the abiding truth (that resurrection) – you enter the abiding truth; you’re in the Promised Land and you are taught forty days, or brought to the point where you understand God’s understanding of your earthliness – you are given the understanding of "earthliness."

Another way of saying it is: You go through the "seven churches" and, when you come to "Laodicea," you have reached the end of the forty days – Laodicea, where the Lord can say to you: "You have a sin nature, this is what it is." That can be defined for you so that you can now deal with it. Christ, after "forty days," ascended into the heavens. After you ascend out of the "sea," out of the lie, and ascend into the heavens, you are now at that place described in Revelation 4:1. You ascend out of the lie; you’re now in the heavens, knowing the truth of God’s love and, for "ten days" after His ascension, the disciples remained in the temple blessing and praising God. You see, you come out of that lie and God brings you deeper understanding – see, "ten days" and coming out of the lie begins to affect and straighten out the iniquity of your life. You, at this point, are not simply a priest of God, you’re a high priest. Not only are you abiding, but you have been listening to the point of being healed – God is healing you; you are in the heavens now, out of the sea. You’ve been raised forty days with Christ; He has shown you your earthliness. Ten days later is Pentecost, when the realization of Holy Spirit becomes a reality for you – that you now have a mindset apart from the rest of the world – that’s all it means. It doesn’t mean you don’t eat this, you don’t go here, you don’t do that – it doesn’t mean those things. It means you know the love of God to the point that it is straightening out the iniquity of your heart – Holy Spirit – you’ve gone beyond the "veil."

It is time for you to "trumpet" the love of God and enter into the atoning work of Jesus Christ, which I think is simply another way of saying "the marriage supper of the Lamb" – Revelation 18, Babylon falls, the veil comes down, the bride has now made herself ready to go into the marriage supper of the Lamb where Christ will gird Himself and serve you. But follow this: He doesn’t continue with the "doctrinal" things so much as He does with the emotional understanding, the emotional thing that needs to be straightened out to continue the healing process – to continue straightening out the iniquity of the heart, and making you whole and complete in Jesus Christ – the marriage supper of the Lamb. If you’ve been understanding and applying the truth as God has been revealing it, you too, are in that place of sitting there, letting the Lord make you whole – if you’re still not debating over all of these doctrinal things: Is Jesus really the Son? Can I hear Him? How does that work? What is this sin nature? – See, and you’re debating all of that stuff. See, you’ve got to come to some conclusions, and you’ve got to realize the love of God to the point that you know it by means of experience – you know by means of experience. You experience all those "feast days"; all of those things are a reality in your life as you walk and listen to the Lord – He heals you doctrinally, so that He can heal you emotionally.

In all of the past studies, I have tried to cover these things one by one, and I pray that if salvation really is important to you, if it really is something you want, and if you’re tired of living in the darkness and living in the lies ... You know, I’ve got to say, the "144,000" speak no guile, and I realize that when God brings you the emotional healing, when He offers that to you, that you take it and you’re humble enough to say, "I’ve been wrong; I’ve been lying to myself" – whatever the iniquity is, the distortion of your heart is – you let God straighten that out. You speak no guile concerning yourself. I know that we need to have doctrinal purity but, over and beyond that, the emotional thing is when it gets hard.

Now I want to read some texts, and build up to Psalms 32. In Psalms 32: Blessed is the man whose transgressions, or whose iniquities, are forgiven ... and I want to show you how the Lord moved me to that place to see these scriptures in Psalms 32, because as I would sit and study and seek the Lord, He just began to reveal things to me – verses I’ve read I don’t know how many times – I go back and read them; I finally understand what He’s trying to say. So let’s begin reading in Galatians, chapter 3, reading from verse 6:

Galatians 3:6-8

6 ¶ Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify [make righteous or justify] the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, ...

Let me leave out that "before the gospel":

Galatians 3:8-9

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify [make righteous] the heathen through [by means of] faith, preached ... unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

OK, what is "faith"? "Faith" comes by hearing; "faith" is a noun; "faith" is the result of believe – "Faith" is the result of grace. "Mercy" is when God has mercy on you, and gives you His understanding. "Grace" is that impression of the heart when He gives it – when you believe the impression, when you follow that impression, when you cleave to that impression, the result of that is "faith." Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the rhema of God. God knew He was going to make righteous the heathen through faith – He was going to impress their hearts with truth. As they believed it, they would be made righteous before God. So He tells Abraham: In you will all nations be blessed. Now I used to read this, the telling of Abraham, in you will all nations be blessed, thinking what God meant was: The Messiah will come through you, and all nations will be blessed in the work of Christ. Now I know that that’s true, Messiah came through Abraham, but that isn’t what Paul is saying in this text. Paul is saying that just the way God blessed Abraham (remember Abraham didn’t have a Bible, but he kept all of God’s commandments {Genesis 26:5} – therefore God’s commandments had to have been spoken – there was nothing there to read), Abraham listened to God and moved out in his life as God spoke to the man’s heart. God, knowing that that is the way He would make the heathen righteous, tells Abraham: "Before the gospel, in you will all nations be blessed because they are going to learn the abiding truth, how to be made righteous, by looking at you, Abraham – all nations will be blessed in you," you see. So then all nations are blessed with faithful Abraham when they listen to God and receive the understanding of God, or the faith of God – I could say the faith of Christ through the conscience, and they believe the moving of God.

What does he mean "before the gospel"? Was there ever a time in Abraham’s life that he understood the gospel? I believe there was – Christ made the statement that Abraham rejoiced to see my day, He says. There was a point in Abraham’s life where he saw the offering of the Son of God, and I believe it was when he offered his son Isaac. In fact, if you’ll go back and read the story (Genesis 22:4), it said Abraham "lifted up his eyes and saw afar off," and if you take that spiritually, he lifted up the eyes of his understanding and saw afar off. I think that is when he saw the time of Christ. But at the time the Lord gives him this promise: In you will all nations be blessed, Abraham didn’t understand that – this was before the gospel.

Now, as you go through the scriptures, you’ll see places where the Lord is pointing to Abraham. I want to show you one of these now – this is in Isaiah 51. There are three verses where the Lord says "hearken unto me" in Isaiah 51: Verse 1) Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness; verse 4) Hearken unto me, my people; and verse 7) Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness. These three hearkens are pointing to different levels of understanding, so let’s read the first one:

Isaiah 51:1-2

1 ¶ Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness [see, they’re seeking righteousness], ye [you] that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye [from where you] are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye [from where you] are digged.

2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

See, if you’re searching for the Lord, if you want to understand "righteousness," he says look unto Abraham. For those who do, and they see the abiding truth, you enter into verse 4:

Isaiah 51:4-5

4 ¶ Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law [teaching] shall proceed from me [and see now, if you’re listening, you’ll understand it. A teaching shall proceed from me ...], and I will make my judgment [determination] to rest for a light of the people.

5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine [my] arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine [my] arm shall they trust.

Now this is key – verse 6. Now, you see, you’re into the second "hearken"; you understand the abiding truth, you’re listening to God – this is what He wants you to do:

Isaiah 51:6-7

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens [or see it through God’s eyes; receive the understanding of God], and look upon the earth beneath [or, take the understanding of God and look at yourself – see yourself the way God sees you]: for the heavens [that you now possess] shall [are going to] vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall [is going to] wax old like a garment [and, in essence, you see that in the sixth and seventh seals], and they that dwell therein shall [will] die in like manner: but my salvation shall [will] be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. [You go through that cleansing and you enter the third "hearken" – verse 7]

7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law [You see, there is your "everlasting covenant." Remember, I’ll write my law on their heart in Romans 2 where he says they show that the law is written on their heart, their conscience accusing or excusing, you see. And he says here, "The people in whose heart is my law..."]; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

See, why would he say that? Because when you reach that third "hearken," when you come into that third "hearken" and you’re going through that healing, you have already been through that process of lifting your eyes to the heavens and looking at the earth beneath, and you’re going through the healing – and what does he say? The heavens are going to vanish away, the earth is going to be changed, see, be gone, so don’t fear the revilings of men, because you’re going to have a message and you’re going to have an experience that totally throws a wrench in everything everyone else thinks – if you have reached the place of the blessing of Abraham. What is the blessing of Abraham? Simply knowing you can hear God and live according to the conscience.

Before I get further into this study, I want to go back to Galatians 3 and just connect where the blessing of Abraham leads us. I want to begin reading at verse 11:

Galatians 3:11-14

11 But that no man is justified [made righteous] by the law [keeping of the law] in the sight of God, it is evident: for [because he says in Habakkuk the righteous live by faith, or by what God instructs them], The just shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith [And the law is not through God’s instruction -- the keeping of the law]: but, The man that doeth them shall [will] live in them. [The only way you do it, according to Deuteronomy 30, is to listen to the voice to do what’s written in the book]

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made [coming to be] a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth [hangs] on a tree:

14 [So] That the blessing of Abraham [What is it? Knowing you can hear God.] might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ [might come to be or would come to be on the nations in Jesus Christ]; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith [or through what God is teaching us].

The "blessing of Abraham" – knowing I can hear God, but receiving that blessing in Jesus Christ. Stop – that is something Abraham did not have – he didn’t receive that blessing in Jesus Christ. He understood he could hear God and live according to the conscience, but when you understand you can hear God and live according to the conscience, in Jesus Christ, you receive the promise of the Spirit. Now just think this through with me; consider this with me. I know I can hear God, I know Jesus is the Son – see, I receive that blessing of Abraham in Jesus Christ. That means a lot, because not only do I know that’s His Son, I know why He died. I receive the blessing of knowing I can hear God in Jesus Christ; the result of that is the promise of the Spirit – the holy mindset. Think about it – possessing Holy Spirit means you know the love of God; you know by means of experience. Jesus was the Holy One – think about it. His mind, see... He walked, He lived in the love of God. He was the Holy One – that is what that means. You will receive Holy Spirit as you receive the blessing of Abraham in Jesus Christ – the promise is the spirit, having Holy Spirit.

Do you know what it means to made in the image of Christ? It’s simply means you know the love of God, and you no longer have the iniquity of your heart – that’s all it means – to be made in the image of Christ. You see, when this is all over, you’re still going to be you, I’m still going to be me – there is nothing wrong with "self." The only thing wrong with self is when you are in control of it. When God is in control of you, your self is something different.

I’m going to read you some texts, by God’s grace, in a few minutes that, for me, deals with that because I want to talk about the kingdom of God. But before I do, let me continue with why I began trying to show you where these texts led me, understanding the blessing of Abraham. And remember, Isaiah 51, you people following righteousness, he says, look unto Abraham – if you want to understand, look unto Abraham. Well, there is another place where the apostle Paul wrote about Abraham as he was trying to explain "righteousness" – it’s in Romans, chapter 4.

Starting in verse 1:

Romans 4:1-8

1 ¶ What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath [has] found?

2 For if Abraham were justified [made righteous] by works, he hath [has] whereof to glory [he could glory]; but [still] not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture [For what do the scriptures say]? Abraham believed God [God’s impression of his heart], and it [that] was counted unto him for righteousness. [The result of that, or his faith, was counted for righteousness.]

4 Now to him that worketh [works] is the reward not reckoned of grace [God’s impression of the heart], but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not [isn’t working], but believeth on him that justifieth [makes righteous] the ungodly [but is believing as God leads him... but is believing on Him that makes righteous the ungodly], his faith [the result of the impression of his heart, what he believes] is counted for righteousness.

6 Even as David also describeth [describes] the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth [imputes] righteousness without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Romans 4:7 and 8 is simply a quote from Psalms 32, and it is Psalms 32 that I wanted to get to. Now, as we read Psalms 32, we’re going to see this word "forgiven." When you take the Strong’s Concordance and you look up the word "forgiven" in the Old Testament, you’re going to discover there are two main words that they’ve translated "forgiven." I believe the numbers are [5545] and [5375]. In this particular verse in Psalms 32:

Psalms 32:1

1 ¶ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven [5375], whose sin is covered.

This word "forgiven" is [5375]. Now let me show you the first place it’s used – it’s in Genesis, chapter 4, verse 13:

Genesis 4:13

13 ¶ And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear [5375].

"Than I can bear" is [5375]; "my punishment" is [5771], later, that is the word "iniquity." What Cain is saying is: "My iniquity is greater than I can lift up" – my iniquity is greater than I can lift up. In Psalms 32, the King James translated that, instead of "can bear" for "lift up," they translated that "forgiven." The other word for "forgiven" is [5545] – [5545] and [5375] both mean "to lift up" or "to make lighter." Now, I know I have put this in past studies – it is key that you get this: If "salvation" is in a book in heaven, and God has your name written in this book with a list of all of your "wrongs," and He is going to "lift up" that sin – that would be a kind of forgiveness – forgive the debt. But if this is the book [pointing to his head] and He is going to "lift up" the iniquity – that is deliverance – and the King James, in their mindset (in that Catholic mindset) were outward in their understanding of salvation. That is why, when Jesus died at Calvary, God could look at you differently, if you believe in Jesus. If you put salvation here, between my ears, Calvary is something that changes the way I perceive God, and salvation is here [pointing to his head - inward] and the lifting up delivers me from the iniquity. What’s the iniquity based on? I don’t know my value to God – Calvary settles that question; I see the truth of God’s love. When I understand the depth of Calvary (and believe me I don’t – I think everything that I have talked about up to this point is surface, but I know I’m going the right direction), when you understand Calvary, the deeper you go into it, the more value you see that you have to God, and the iniquity will be straightened out.

Now, what does David write in Psalms 32? Blessed is the man whose transgressions are lifted up... Now in Romans, Paul put "whose iniquity is lifted up" – but then he says, "whose sin is covered." What does he mean by that? Let’s turn to Proverbs 17, reading verse 9:

Proverbs 17:9

9 ¶ He that covereth [covers] a transgression seeketh [seeks] love; [here’s the opposite] but he that repeateth [repeats] a matter separateth [separates] very friends.

And I want to connect that to Proverbs, chapter 10:

Proverbs 10:12

12 ¶ Hatred [Hate] stirreth [stirs] up strifes [strife]: but love covereth [covers] all sins.

What does it mean? For God to "cover your sin" means He’ll never repeat it. Blessed is the man whose iniquities have been lifted up and his sin will never be discussed – his sin will never be exposed; blessed is that man. The Lord showed me, when He gave me this text and spoke to my heart, that I am the man. I’m not saying I’m the only person in the world, I’m saying for me, in my universe, I am the man – and each one of you can be in that place where the iniquity is lifted up and your sin will never be mentioned – it will never be discussed. For some of you who have been listening to the studies, if you go back, you’ll discover a testimony I gave where I woke up one morning realizing the anger that I had had because of my parent’s divorce – and it was at that time, as I felt that anger, the Lord showed me that all of these things in my life that I had done, I was carrying that feeling of anger and responding to that. And the Lord showed me, and spoke to me that He never condemned me for anything I had ever done. You see, blessed is the man whose iniquity is lifted up, whose sins will never be discussed – love covers sin. God will bring you to that place where your sin will never be discussed – there’s no reason to.

I’ve got to say this too, again (I think I put this on the last study, but it’s important that you understand it) – the man who falls overboard, you don’t condemn him because he fell in the water. He’s in the sea, splashing about, wanting salvation – so you throw him the lifeline. If He refuses to take the lifeline, he’s going to suffer the consequences of dying in the sea. He has to grab hold of that lifeline, and continue holding it as you pull him all the way into the boat – you don’t let go. If he doesn’t grab it, or if he grabs it and then decides to let go, then he’s condemned. If you get him back in the boat, it will be as though he never fell into the sea – he’ll have that experience and the experience of salvation, but you’ll never treat him like he fell into the sea. That is the picture God is painting for us.

I’ve got to say it again – blessed is the man whose iniquity is lifted up, whose sin will never be brought up again. I know for me, I am the man. What about you? I know why Christ died for me. Why did He die for you? What is it you’re carrying that only the death of the only begotten Son of God can cut you loose from? Why did He die for you? You see, that’s the question. Let the Lord give you the doctrinal understanding, that He may bring you to the place of emotional healing and you’ll understand the death of the Savior.

Now let’s turn to the gospel of Mark, chapter 4, reading from verse 24:

Mark 4:24-29

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye [you] hear: with what measure ye [you] mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25 For he that hath [has], to him shall be given: and he that hath not [has not], from him shall be taken even that which he hath [has]. [And now my favorite parable:]

26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth [and he knows] not how.

28 For the earth bringeth [brings] forth fruit of herself [Remember, there’s nothing wrong with the "earth" in Christ – the earth brings forth fruit of herself]; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth [puts] in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

That word "brought forth" simply means is brought to maturity – it’s ripe. When the fruit is ripe, immediately he’ll put in the sickle because the harvest is come. This parable is fantastic. I want to tell you about the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God (and what I’m going to say is so simple and yet again, it’s profound) – the kingdom of God is letting the Lord plant seed in your mind and water it with His understanding, and that seed will begin to grow... your understanding will begin to grow. Now listen – and the truth of God’s love will push out what shouldn’t be there. Think about it – the kingdom of God is like the stone cut out without hands, and it hits the image in the feet (remember Daniel 2:35) and then what happens to that stone? That stone grows into a mountain (a kingdom) that fills the earth.

What about the woman who is kneading the dough and she puts in leaven, and she kneads it until the whole is leavened? (Matthew 13:33) Such is the kingdom of God – that is what God is doing with you. He has given you the seed; He’s giving you His understanding and, as you grow in that understanding, that is going to grow up in you and push out what shouldn’t be there. Remember the picture of the peasant girl? The carriage pulls up with the king, and he gets out and says, "I pick you," and at that moment, nothing else matters – the king wants me. Well, imagine that same girl a week later as she’s living in the castle and this is dawning on her – she may even say at that point, "You know, I still don’t believe what has happened to me." But think of her a month later, or think of her five years later as she puts on the royal garments and she walks out – five years later, she is expecting to be treated as the one chosen by the king. See, that truth grows up in her and pushes out what shouldn’t be there – gives her the power to push out and overcome. That is the love of God.

When Christ delivers up the kingdom, God will be all in all and the 144,000 are being brought to that place right now, even as I speak. It’s up to you to make the choice, make the determination that you’re going to let God heal you – and believe me, facing the emotional trauma of overcoming is more difficult than the doctrinal, but it is something that can be done; it is something that must be done, and the Lord would have us be in that place of being made whole. If you’re brought to this place and you choose not to go forward, you see, if you’ve received all the doctrinal [concepts] and you were perfect in all of that, and you were able to walk away from the denominations and put down the law.... see, you’re perfect in all your ways until the emotional, until He says, well then iniquity was found in you, you see? That’s the anointed cherub who falls – that is our last warning – to be given this responsibility and not follow through, and be healed.

Go back, listen to past studies; seek the Lord on your knees – let nothing else mean as much to you as being healed in Jesus Christ. Let salvation make you whole in Christ. He is the healer - let Him heal you.

1 ¶ And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

5 ¶ And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

Revelation 19:1-9
