02/09/2020 The Journey 2
Vision Books Due to the Chinese New Year and the devastating coronavirus the plant has been on a mandatory shut down until Feb. 10th. After that date they will begin the process of picking things back up again, but the delays are substantial. Prior to this shut down, the books printed in the Bemba language were completed and packaged for shipping to South Africa, then off to Zambia. 02/09/2020 The Journey 3
We also have 20,000 copies of the Church Age book (Spanish) along with 20,000 copies of the Resume of the Church Ages in production in China. These are almost completed but got caught in the closure of the plant. Once these are completed, they will be shipped to Mexico, Honduras, Uruguay, and Columbia. Half of the cost has already been sent to them, the other half will be approximately $20,000 US. We also have 5,000 books that are stalled at the border of Mozambique due to renewed fighting and civil unrest. This means that it is quite dangerous for foreigners and local ministers who are distributing materials to be moving around the country. The brothers have stored the books until it is safe to distribute them. 02/09/2020 The Journey 4

SIR.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS Now what we're trying to do, is to see Jesus Christ so present that every believer's heart will be stimulated, his faith, that he'll reach up and get a hold of God, and for what he has need of. For all that we have need of, in this life journey, is in Christ. 64-0318 02/09/2020 The Journey 7
Staggered Not: (Gr.) diakrino To withdraw from one, desert; To separate one's self in a hostile spirit, to oppose, strive with dispute, contend; To be at variance with one's self, hesitate, doubt. 02/09/2020 The Journey 8
DOOR.TO.THE.HEART 58-0302 I'm a great lover of art. I believe God is in art, real art. God is in music. God is in nature. God is in His church. God is just all around. And I love art very much. COUNTDOWN 64-0209 11 And if you'd watch nature real close, you won't get too far from the Word, because God is in nature. THINGS.THAT.ARE.TO.BE 65-1205 Watch nature. God and nature works in continuity, because God is in nature. 02/09/2020 The Journey 9
Migrating animals maintain a fervid attentiveness to the greater Mission, which keeps them undis- tracted by temptations and undeterred by challenges that would turn other animals aside. 02/09/2020 The Journey 10
DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND 166 Now, in Abraham's journey, he met God all along in different forms... Just, we are Abraham's Seed, if we're in Christ. Now we find that his royal Seed Bride of Christ travels the same journey that Abraham did. 65-0427 02/09/2020 The Journey 11
TURN.ON.THE.LIGHT 86 We are in our journey, something like Israel was. Israel, in their journey, had to get new manna every day, for new manna fell. We are supposed not to live in the light of Luther, live in the light of Wesley, or live in the light of Pentecost. We're in another age, new Manna. 64-0125 02/09/2020 The Journey 12
To Eternity From Here According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 2 Peter 1:3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. JOHN 14:2 02/09/2020 The Journey 13
Five Characteristics Common To All Migrations: 1. Persistence* 02/09/2020 The Journey 14
EPHESIANS 4:1-15 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 02/09/2020 The Journey 15

DEUTERONOMY 5:28-33 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. 29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! 30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. 02/09/2020 The Journey 17
31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. 32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. 02/09/2020 The Journey 18

HEBREWS.CHAP. II.3 256 We been getting up about four o'clock, Bro. Woods and I, going out early in the morning, squirrel hunting. I praise Him under every tree, I've come to. I can't see a tree, with out praising Him. Think, He growed that tree. See a little old grasshopper fly up; He knows that grasshopper. "Oh, nonsense, Bro. Bill." Oh, no, it isn't. He knows where every squirrel is. He knows where every butterfly is. 57-0828 02/09/2020 The Journey 21

Animal migrants do not respond to sensory inputs from resources that would readily elicit responses in other circumstances. In other words, these animals are just going to get there! It can rest later, eat later, mate later; right now its implacable focus is the journey. Its individual intent is arrival. 02/09/2020 The Journey 24
Examples of Distractions from the Journey: 1. GENESIS 20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 02/09/2020 The Journey 25
GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY 6 Today's been a terrible day for me, so many calls, phones ringing everywhere, Bro. Mercier said, "I can tell you're nervous. I said, "Who wouldn't be." But now, I'm quiet. Just the singing and relaxing, I love that. It would pay us every one to have been here in this wonderful atmosphere. And this is one of the few that's left. As they tell me that all Pentecostal worship used to be like that years ago. Wished it would return, for I think we need to go back to the old path, just where the 02/09/2020 Spirit has the right-of-way. I love that. The Journey 26
And I got it on tape now, so I'll just get real nervous, I'll just turn on the tape and relax... Maybe the tape could catch the rhythm of it, and God will furnish the Spirit of it. Just to hear it when I feel real upset. 'Cause, you know, there's so many emotions and so many things to distract us from the Spirit today. 59-0415 02/09/2020 The Journey 27
AS.I.THOUGHT.ON.MY.WAY 40 And [Judas] heard the trickling of that silver as it trickled into his hands, and he cried, "I betrayed innocent blood." I don't want nothing standing between me and the Lord like that at the end of the road. I trust it won't you. And he took the short route. He took a rope and went and hung hisself. When you think on your past, it'll either drive you to God or drive you away from God. 59-0610 02/09/2020 The Journey 28
2. Nehemiah 6:1-3 Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;) 2 That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. 02/09/2020 The Journey 29
And I sent messen- gers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? Where there is no vision, the people perish PROVERBS 29:18 02/09/2020 The Journey 30
02/09/2020 The Journey 31
VOICE.OF.GOD.IN.THIS.LAST.DAYS 21 It's a very outstanding time. We realize that where we're speaking from in the Scriptures, "There was no open vision in the days of Samuel." Therefore, "Where there's no vision, the people perish." We must have a vision. And visions comes to the prophets, and it's the Word of the Lord spoken to them. 63-0120 02/09/2020 The Journey 32
EARLY.SPIRITUAL.EXPERIENCES 52-0713 44 Now, I'm not throwing off on preachers; you're godly men but if you ever want to get in trouble, just get muddled up with a bunch of preachers. They said, "The Lord speaks to us, as well as He speaks to you. I said, "Korah had that same thought, one day. He said, "Well, the Lord told us to make that itinerary. I said, "Maybe He did. But He told me not to take it. Now, you can decide for yourself. I'm not going." And I went on back in. And here done come the cars. 02/09/2020 The Journey 33
DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND 141 Now, Balaam should've knowed better. He should've dismissed himself from such com- pany, but all them nice gifts and the promise [of] this king, I'm the bishop. I can do whatever I want, I'll promote you if you'll come do it for me." And God done told him, "Don't do it," but yet Balaam said, I'll try again." He had the Word. You don't have to argue anymore about it; God done said so. A group like that, they always talk you out of the will of God if you'll let them. 65-0418 02/09/2020 The Journey 34
Distraction: DEUT. 2:3-7, 27-34 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. 4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: 5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. 6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. 7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been 02/09/2020 with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. The Journey 35
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY 72-5 But all this mystery is revealed only as He promised to His Bride. Hell is against this truth of the revelation of this mystery Why do you hunger, Church? Why do you thirst? It's the Father trying to reveal this hidden secret to you, but you let so many things get it out of you. You let your job, you let your wife, you let your husband, you let your children, you let the cares of the world, you let some pastor, you let somebody else get that out of you, when you know that way down in your heart you're thirsting, hungry. It's God trying to reveal it to you, the 02/09/2020 revelation. The last day is here. 63-0728 The Journey 36
02/09/2020 The Journey 37
EPHESIANS 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; The Journey of the Inner Man
LOOKING.AT.THE.UNSEEN 10 But a man is made like a sheep. And a sheep cannot find its way back, I'm told; when it's lost, it's totally lost. That's the way with man. When he is lost, he is absolutely helpless, must have a shepherd to guide him. And man when he chooses to walk by sight, than stead of by faith, by the Unseen, he robs the inner man, which is the soul. And that's the eternal part of man. 58-1003 02/09/2020 The Journey 39
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC 65-0221 78 When a man is born again, from Heaven, he becomes a spirit babe in Christ. And, when this robe of flesh is dropped, there is a natural body, theophany, a body not made with hands, that we go to. (2 Cor. 5:1-5) Here we are formed to the Word image feed on the Word, by being predestinated since the beginning; you see that little spark of Life that you had in you from the beginning, when you started your journey. Many of you can remember it. You joined this church and joined that church, you'd try this and that; nothing satisfied But one day you just recognized It. 02/09/2020 The Journey 40
EPHESIANS 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; (internal man: the soul, the conscience) 02/09/2020 The Journey 41
AWAKENING.JESUS 79 (Group of doctors) Said, "I read your book on Divine healing. I said, "I guess you criticized. Said, "No, sir. I admit that you're right. We have record that when we tell a person that's got a malignancy, or something going to kill him, an ulcer, TB, it depends on what attitude they take. If they get all tore up, they die right away. But if they take the attitude, 'Well, dying is just part of living. It's all right, when I die,'you kno w, it almost retards that case? 02/09/2020 The Journey 42
81 I thought, "If that mental attitude, taken like that, what will it do when the Holy Spirit strikes that inner man?" I asked him that. 82 He said, "Certainly, that's right, if you can move up into that spot until even his own mind don't even know he's got it, to think he's got it, and don't even pay any attention to it, it would do it, if he can believe that." That's true. 63-0117 02/09/2020 The Journey 43
AS.I.WAS.WITH.MOSES 60-0911 74 So just let them alone. Go on through. Don't argue with them. But we're passing to another land. They wasn't ordained to go with you. They won't walk with you. How can two walk unless they be agreed? God said, "I give Esau this mountain; don't touch him. But I've got something different for you. Cross over." That's my desire, brethren, to see my church cross over into another land, a desire to move over to the other side. If there is something in you here first calling, there'll be Something to respond to that call. Just settling down to sheep raising ain't enough for you. Go into some sort of a business is not enough for you. Just to join the church and put your name on the book, is not enough for you. Because, there's something calling across the next ridge, and all across Jordan, until you fall into the arms of God yonder. A deep calling unto a Deep... 02/09/2020 The Journey 44
SPEAK.TO.THIS.ROCK 53-1115 16 Now, we're going to talk about a journey, how that God brought His people out of Egypt into the promised land, a perfect type of leaving sin, coming into the Spirit land. Now, there's three stages of this journey; First, Israel in Egypt, Israel in the journey, which is a perfect type of justification by faith, coming out; sanctification as it passed through the Blood, the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It's perfect, the stages of the Church. That is where the Church is staged now. 02/09/2020 The Journey 45
3. NUMBERS 14:22 22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. 02/09/2020 The Journey 46
UNCHANGEABLE.GOD 62-0120 45 I like Jacob in this way: when he actually seen something that was right, when he got his hand on something that was true, he held on to it till he got results. Oh, if we would do that... If the church would only do that, if you'd only be convinced that it's right, know it's God's promise, it cannot fail Someone talk you out of it, say, "It's for some other generation..." And that isn't Scripture. Mk. 16, "Go ye into all the world, preach the Gospel to every creature. These signs shall follow them that believe, Where? How far? All the world, every creature. These signs shall follow in all the world to every creature that believes. 02/09/2020 The Journey 47
AN.ENSIGN 53-0606 11 Now, on our pilgrim journey, we noticed out in the wilderness, why, they begin to sin after God had blessed them and brought them through the Red Sea. Isn't it strange, though, that the children of Israel, in their journey, God led them, the first thing, right into a death trap? Right up to the Red Sea. Pharaoh's army coming, pursuing. There's mountains on one side, the sea had them cut off. But God's camp went through the sea. Many times God lets us get dried up like that. 02/09/2020 The Journey 48
Then He looked down through that Pillar of Fire and the sea rolled back, and they went across. God made a way of escape. He always will in every instance. Notice, then they went right straight to the Wilderness of Sin. Isn't it strange; from one trial to another? 12 God's way leads sometimes right through every briar patch, right up over the hills, down through the rugged places: sickness, trials; but God brings them more than victorious through them all. 02/09/2020 The Journey 49
THE.ANOINTED.ONES.AT.THE.END.TIME 65-0725 66 Moses, a man sent from God, with the Word of God, and on his journey taking Israel into the promised land, strictly with the commandment of God, he met another prophet, another anointed one that had a genuine anointing of the same Holy Spirit that was upon Moses. He was a prophet. The Holy Spirit was upon this man. His name was Balaam See, he couldn't help himself. He come there purposing in his heart to curse the people. Oh, you false teachers listening to these tapes all these years, and seeing God confirm exactly what He said, and you set in your study and know it's the Truth; and because of your denominational differences, you dispute them and tell your people they're not so. Woe unto you! 02/09/2020 The Journey 50
