of the mightiness of the Father's power and of the joint unioHim that He can say: nothing is impossible for you to ask. Hecan say, "Until now you have asked nothing."If you will only dispose of yourself-for nothing but ywill hinder you-it may be today that God will transformthat you will be an altogether different person, as you havebeen before. Move beyond your human mind, your humanure, your own strength, and all your resources-this is a bigfor me to say-and let inspiration take charge of you entirelbring you out of yourself into the power of God.Believe that today is a new beginning for you. You havepassed this way before. So I bring you to another day of pover any heights, passing through mists or darkness.

Theosophy, which is based on theories of reincarnatiother falsities, has a new man. Nothing but Theosophy coua new man. The foundation of this Theosophy has always beruptible. The formation of Theosophy was connected to onegreatest atheists of the day. Theosophy sprang out of atheismThe Man of Sin, as he comes forth, will do many things.will be many false christs, and they will be manifestationsforthcoming of the Man of Sin, but they will all come to a-The Man of Sin will be revealed.These people are determined to have a man. They knowone has to come. We Christians know whois who is comus. But these people begin to make a man in this manner: tha man in India, they polish him up as much as they can; thehim up, but we are told by the Lord that soft clothing can gwolves' backs (Matt. 7:15).We find that they are going to bring this man forth instyle. When I went around the amphitheater in Sydney thmade for this man to come, I saw as clearly as anything it wpreparation for the Man of Sin. But they do not believe that.What will make you to know it is the Man of Sin? Thisreligious sect and creed that are in the world all join to it.

love for Christ in which you are always casting out all fear anare living in the place of freedom. (See 1 John 4:18.) Be suryou never allow anything to make you afraid. God is for youcan be against you (Rom. 8:31)?The reason why so many people have gone into Christiaence is that the church is barren; it does not have the HolyChristian Science exists because the churches have a barrenwhere the Holy Spirit has not been allowed to rule. There wono room for Christian Science if the churches were filled wiHoly Spirit. But because the churches had nothing, then thepeople went to the Devil to fIll the void, and he persuadedthat they had something. Now the same people are cominknowing they have had nothing-only a wilderness experienceLet us save ourselves from all this trouble by letting theSpirit fill our hearts. Don't depend on any past tense, anymomentum, but let the anointing be upon you, let the presencthe power be upon you. Are you thirsty, longing, desiring?God will pour out of His treasures all you need. God wants tisfy us with His great, abounding, holy love, imparting lovelove and faith upon faith.If you have fallen short, it is because you refused theSpirit. Let the Holy Spirit be light in you to lighten even thethat is in you, and no darkness will befall you; you will be kthe middle of the road.Be careful when anybody comes to you with a sugar-coator a slimy tongue. The Spirit of the Lord always deals withGive the Devil the biggest chase of his life by saying these w"If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fello160

can only be produced where there is no alloy. Now, there isin heaven. Alloy means that there is a mixture. In the woris happiness, but it is a mixture; very often it comes verysorrow. Often in the midst of festivities, there is a place oness, and right underneath is a very heavy heart.But what Christians have is this: it is joy without alloout a mixture. It is inwardly expressive. It rises higher anuntil, if it had its perfect order, we would drown everythinshout of praise coming from this holy presence.We want everyone to receive the Holy Spirit because tSpirit has a very blessed expression of the Lord in His glorpurity, in His power, and in all His blessed words. All thcoming forcefully through as the Holy Spirit is able to wyou of Him. And every time the Son is manifested in your hthe Holy Spirit, you get a real stream of heavenly glory ojoy in the Holy Spirit-not in eating and drinking, but ithing higher, something better. We all enjoy eating and dbut this is something higher, something better, somethisubstantial: joy in the Holy Spirit! And the Holy Spirit cthis joy to us.Thought for today:No one gets his answers to his pranever does-for God answers prayers abundantly above wask or think to pray for.162
