How many of you had that
experience when you were first
converted? You wanted to get
members of your family and
others that were close to you,
and you wanted to get the truth
to them;; and they wouldn't
have any of it. They just
thought you were crazy. And
that's the way it is.
CARNAL MIND
HOSTILE
The natural mind of man (the
carnal mind, which is the mind
we're born with) "is enmity"
which means hostile,
"against
God;; is not subject to the
law of God, neither indeed
CAN be."
That mind has to be
changed and receive another
Spirit.
There is a spirit in with your
brain that imparts the power of
intellect to your brain, but you
are only half there mentally.
You only have HALF of a
MIND. You need the Spirit of
God to complete your mind.
That's the other half, and the
more important half. And
without that you will find that
the things of God are foolish-­
ness to you, and your mind is
just hostile against them. You
are not subject to the law of
God, which is God's way of
living,
"neither indeed can
be."
And that's the way it is.
Now, as we go on through this,
we see all of these things.
"When He had purged our
sins,"
and as I say that only
reconciled us to God the
Father,
"sat down on the
right hand of the Majesty
on high."
Now why did He do
that? Why did He go up there?
He'd qualified. He'd overcome
Satan. He had qualified to
restore the government of God.
He had qualified to sit on the
throne of the WORLD, and to
establish the Kingdom of God,
and to be the Ruler of the
WHOLE EARTH.
Why did He not take it then?
Why had God waited FOUR
THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE
THE SECOND ADAM CAME?
God had SHUT UP the tree of
LIFE, and SHUT UP THE
HOLY SPIRIT, FROM MAN.
MAN HAS A MIND, AND GOD
CREATED THAT MIND;; AND,
AS GOD CREATED IT, IT'S
HOSTILE TO HIM.
But the first man, Adam, had a
right to make a choice;; and he
had an opportunity, and a
right, and a command from
God to take of the TREE OF
LIFE. HE COULD HAVE HAD
A WHOLE COMPLETE MIND,
BUT HE DIDN'T;; AND,
WHEN HE SINNED, HE
BROUGHT DEATH ON HIM-­
SELF.
SATAN WAS THERE;; AND
SATAN HAD GOT TO ADAM
THROUGH HIS WIFE, EVE.
His wife, Eve, was the first
woman of the ERA movement.
Ever think of that? That started
back with Mother Eve, and the
women still want to wear the
pants.
I was just trying to think where
I mentioned that the other day.
...hath God said ?,...
