FROM THE DUST OF THE EARTH

THE.WORKS.THAT.I.DO.BEAR.WITNESS.OF.ME_ PHOENIX.AZ FRIDAY_ 51-0413
E-14 May the Christians rise, shine up the armor, let the colors go to streaming, stand in this great rank of believers saying that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, looking for Him to come the second time in glory to redeem all those from the dust of the earth that sleeps that's died in Him. Then we won't have any more healing services, Lord. It'll all be over then. For this mortal will take on immortality, and we'll have a body like His own glorious Body.
THE.END.TIME_ PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 54-0307A
E-42 When He stood there with the Jews and they said, "Our fathers eat manna in the wilderness." He said, "They're every one dead." He said, "But I am the Bread of Life that come from God out of heaven. He that eats this Bread, shall never die." What is He? The Tree of Life.
And just as sure as we come here by natural birth, and has to go to the dust of the earth, that sure is we took the spiritual birth, we shall rise from the dust of the earth.
JEHOVAH.JIREH_ OAKLAND.CA TUESDAY_ 57-0326
What does it make any difference what happens to this old body, someday He will speak and it'll come from the dust of the earth. Sure. Showing what He could do... He's God. And when He just spoke it, and there was a body, absolutely. Someday He will call and I'll rise from the dust of the earth.
ZACCHAEUS_ BANGOR.ME SATURDAY_ 58-0517B
E-50 Do you feel real good? Have I got five minutes more? Are you in a real big hurry? I just want to say something to you.
The reason that I am where I am today in these Full Gospel ranks is because I believe it. I believe that our bodies came from the dust of the earth. We're all aware of that. The Bible says it first; science proves it. We're made of sixteen elements of the earth: petroleum, potash, cosmic light, so forth, atoms. Then if that be so, when this world was nothing but a bleak volcanic, our bodies laid on this earth. Just a little encouragement for you.
YE.MUST.BE.BORN.AGAIN_ GREENVILLE.SC THURSDAY_ 58-0619B
E-44 Then in come sin. And sin marred the picture. But sin can't stop the purpose of God. God will not be defeated. So then, because sin came in, woman brought forth man, which was secondary, a perverted way. God never created him out of the dust of the earth with His own hands, but woman had to bring him, through sex.
Then what happened? Where we make our bodies from the dust of the earth, that calcium, that lumber, that potash, that God had laying out, is still being used. One day the last bit of it will be used up. That's right. The lumber pile will go down. But God still makes man from the dust of the earth. And you come on this earth without having any reason, any way you, no way at all you had of bringing yourself here. God brought you here.
E-45 Then if sin has marred it and God cannot be defeated, then people are coming on the earth by a perverted way; but still God's lumber is being used up. The potash, calcium and stuff He lets us eat it from... and by your... till the soil, and by the sweat of your brow you'll make your living. But man come just exactly the same, just exactly. God still has His purpose in His mind.
Now, what happens? If the Holy Spirit brought me and you on this earth this morning, or you and I, rather, on this earth and made us what we are without having any choice... We come what we are without having a choice. If He made me what I am without having a choice, and yet I was made in God's image and brought forth, yet through a sinful act that God permitted to be done, a perverted act by holy wedlock from my father and my mother... And I come on this earth, and I am what I am at my best by God's grace, and without having any choice, how much more can He raise me up in the last days if I make a choice.
E-46 Now, the Holy Spirit has never left the earth; It's still on the earth; and It's brooding over the earth. "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, all you materials that's been built in the image of God," cooing, calling, wooing.
And if the Holy Spirit woos, and we come back and say, "Yes, great God, You made me, and I love You. And You are my Creator, and I'm sinful, and I'm shamed of it," then He places in me Eternal Life.
Then if He give me Eternal Life by answering back to His call, and made me what I am without having a choice, how will--much more can He raise me up after I've made a choice and been filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God's own Life. And you can no more lose that life than God can lose Himself. The Word comes from the Greek word "Zoe." "I give unto them Eternal Life."
THE.FAITH.OF.ABRAHAM_ SAN.JOSE.CA FRIDAY_ 59-0424A
E-55 God turned Sarah and Abraham back to a young man and a young woman again. He will do all the seed of Abraham the same way, turn them back young again. When they come from the dust of the earth, not old gray-headed and broke down, but young in the very splendor of health. Always will be that way forever and forever, never to blemish. Sin will be done away with. There'll be no serpent in that garden of Eden. He will be done away with forever.
Notice. It'll all be renewed again. God's great purpose. He cannot be defeated because He's God.
EL.SHADDAI_ YAKIMA.WA TUESDAY_ 60-0802
I'm so glad that I'm acquainted with a God Who can call me from the dust of the earth, just breathe the breath of life again, someday, and I'll live forever in a body.
Lord, let it be for everyone here, and while these sick bodies are struggling with the Spirit of God in them, they're needing healing Father. I pray that You'll let this message be confirmed tonight, that You're God, and You heal the sick. You patch up this body that we can glorify Thee. Grant it, Father, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-13 SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
200 Now the world is to be repopulated, not by the original creation of God, like in the beginning, not by the original creation, but by sex desire. Now that takes care of "the beginning," doesn't it? In the beginning there was only one man and one woman, one male and one female; but when she crossed that line and brought this sin, now the world is to be repopulated again, by sex, not by creation; by sex. See where the woman is at now, now? But that's the way the world is populated today, through women.
201 That's the reason Jesus had to come through the woman, to bring it back to its original beginning again, without sex desire. He is virgin born. But, hallelujah, there will come a time where it won't be no more sex, but God shall call His children from the dust of the earth, back like they was in the original, not through any woman; but through the molding of the clay and the cosmic lights, and the petroleum, He will create again like He did Adam at the first time. Jesus made this possible, by God making Himself a Man and come into the world so He could die, through this woman. Now is testing time, by sin.
DOES.GOD.EVER.CHANGE.HIS.MIND.ABOUT.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN 65-0418E
94 Therefore, all these things that had a beginning has to have an end. All sin has to come to annihilation. All sin has to be done away with. Therefore, in the great Millennium when the resurrection comes, we will not have to be reborn again by our fathers and mothers, but God like He did in the beginning will call man from the dust of the earth, and his helpmate with him. That's right. That's the way He did it at the beginning.
95 So therefore, God never changes His mind about anything, but He will permit you to go on. Now, this is a long ways around to get to what I want to say here about this. But, and, but, it's, you'll... I want you to understand it. See? God will permit you to do something, and even bless you in doing it, but still it isn't His perfect will.
