GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY 6 Just the singing and relaxing, and I--I just love that. For there's lots of times I like to come in here and just rest. I'd like to come over here and just relax like this for awhile. And I got it on tape now, so I'll just get real nervous, I'll just turn on the tape and relax. I'll be at Pisgah. Maybe the tape could catch the rhythm of it, and God will furnish the Spirit of it. Just to--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. It's real nice to be here.

Five Aspects of a Godly Man•Lord of the Earth (Genesis 1): Man is created in the image of God to rule and subdue the earth for God.•Husbandman (Genesis  2) Man is created to cultivate the persons and things within his realm, so they fulfill their potential within God’s creation.•Savior (Genesis  3) Man is created to war sacrificially against evil and injustice until these are vanquished.

•Sage (Proverbs 1-9) Man is created to be trained by mature men, to gain skill and insight, to take his place among wise men, doing work which counts forever.

•Glory of God (1 Corinthians 11; Ephesians 5) Man is created to reflect God’s glory in his own life, roles,

and activities. Made for God and deriving his own masculinity from God, man relates to nature, women, and other men in ways characteristic of God’s power, righteousness, grace, and love.

A.DECEIVED.CHURCH.BY.THE.WORLD       But man wanted to be like, they compare, or to copy after, go like world does, say the things that they do, make a success the way they were a success. We cannot never be a success doing anything the world does. We can only be a success as we follow after God's statutes and His way of doing things. We can never be by patterning after the world. If the cigarette company has met their greatest success by television, and the beer and the whiskey crowd has made their great success through the contribution of television, that's no sign that the church shall make its success by television. The success of the church lies within the preaching of the Gospel, of the power of God, and the

demonstration of the Spirit. We do not have any Scripture to compare with them people. And as long as we do, we may draw great numbers of people, but that's not what God ordained us to do. We think because that we're all colors, flying high, great organizations, causing great colorful things to take place, that it's a success. We are dying daily on our feet, spiritually speaking. If we stood ten-million strong this morning, and the Holy Spirit wasn't with us, we'd do well to stand ten strong with the Holy Spirit with us. We cannot compare with the world.

CHURCH.AGE.BOOK 352-4 You know there have been some awful cold

drafts blowing on the church in this generation, and I'm afraid her eyes have sort of frozen shut and she is blind to what God has for her. She needs some hot oil of the Spirit of God to open her eyes. Unless she receives the Spirit of God she will go on substituting program for power and creed for Word. She counts numbers for success, rather than to look for fruit. The doctors of theology have shut the door to faith and forbade all to enter. They neither go in, nor let anyone else go in.

Faith (Africa Trip Report)15 God respected him (Billy Paul) because he was

on the right side. So I walked in to where the men was; I woke them all up, Bro. Bosworth, Bro. Baxter, Brother Stadsklev, all of them. I said, "I have the word from the Lord. He just met me in the room. Now He said, we can go down there, but it will not be as successful as it should be. And we're going to suffer; I am, myself, going to suffer a great loss. And you all were going to suffer, too." And I said, "Because He told me that I was—was not obeying His orders. But He would permit it, being that these Afrikaans ministers and things has set this up, and done that. But it's not His will. And I will have to pay for it."

Palmerworm, Locust, Cankerworm, Caterpillar 19 And if it so happens that you, your church doesn't believe, or you do not believe just the things that we speak of as our church Doctrine, we trust that it will by no means bring an offense. Because the very first step to successful Christianity, and to show that man has received the Holy Spirit, is humility, real God-given humility, that It must be given humbly. But, yet, a church without a doctrine is just like a jellyfish; it has no backbone. So, we've got to have backbone in it. And not also backbone, but teeth also, because the Church of God must eat the Bread of Life.

But if God tells me something that you know to be the truth, then you know whether that's truth or not. It's a female disorder. Operated, I see you coming off the operating table with something white over your face, but it wasn't successful. That's right. But that devil hid from the doctor, but it can't hide from God. Go home and be well, lady; Jesus Christ has healed you and made you well. If you can believe.

14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him. 15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.

EARNESTLY.CONTENDING.FOR.THE.FAITH23 Not all are prophets, not all are apostles, not all

are this or that, but it's given. Those things are born in us by election. Gifts and callings are without repentance, how many Scripture readers know that, let's see? Gifts and callings, not what you want to be, it's what God makes you, see.

You are because God has chosen you to be, not because you chose to be, God chose you. And if you're trying to make yourself something that God hasn't chose you to do, you're only a mimic, and it'll never be a success. You've got to be what God chose you to be.

GOD.PROJECTING.HIS.LOVE       If ever I had a time of success of praying for

anyone, is when I could enter into the fellowship with them, feel their infirmities, feel their conditions. Then something in you goes down beyond the reasoning and prays the prayer of faith for the sick. You've got to feel for a man. You've got to sympathize with him. You've got to be with him before you can help him. Then you enter into some sort of a deepness; it's the love of God. It's beyond human love.
