The Left Hand of God Cecil J. duCille May 20, 2007 Mahomet, Illinois
Mavis duCille: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Precious heavenly Father, we thank You for Your goodness, Your greatness, oh Lord God, that from the beginning, You started a work that You have determined to finish. Hallelujah! Many have come and many have gone. Many have gone that walked in the anointing of their time, my God, but none have completed what You have begun, and that which pleases You. Amen. And so, Lord, we know that You have called a people in this time to go on. Hallelujah! We have walked in certain principles, we have walked in a path of salvation, but now, Lord, You are calling us to go on to perfection! Hallelujah! That which will make us what we ought to be in You, that we will no longer be half-baked, half-made, half-in this way or in that way - but Lord, that we will go on to perfection. Hallelujah! That which You declared for us, that which You have started in us, my God. We have enjoyed the power of the Blood that delivered us from sin. We enjoy the anointing of the Spirit that leads us into gifts and ministries. Now, my God, we want to be like You. Amen. Hallelujah! We want to lay aside every weight, and this sin that doth so easily beset us, and run with patience the race. So, Lord, we ask that You will reveal every one of our hearts, because You have established within us that throne that will judge us. Hallelujah! Day after day, no one will be able to ask, “Am I right?” or “Am I wrong?” because the right and the wrong is written within us. Hallelujah! And if we are just honest to ourselves, we will know when we are wrong and when we are right and when we are on a path that leads to glory or to worldly fame and destruction. Hallelujah! We thank You, my God, for the way that You have set up the human race for us, and the race of the kingdom. Amen. Hallelujah! We ask, oh God, that You will help us this day to leave earthiness, leave worldliness, and set our eyes on the mark of the kingdom. Hallelujah! We thank You, my God, we thank You. We feel in the Spirit this morning that You are setting up such a move, that You have set up such a move in some hearts, and some are ready, and some are still having their eyes on other things, and some are looking back like Lot’s wife. Hallelujah! But my God, we ask that You will help us to see where we are and where we ought to be, and where we should be. Hallelujah! Amen. Let our eyes not be taken off of the goal and the prize that lies before us. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We ask that You would help us to catch a glimpse this day of that which You are working within us, around us, and not to lose sigh, because, my God, many, many, many have caught the principle, the principle of “church,” the principle of “preaching,” and certain principles of “walking,” a certain principle of “operating,” and Lord, are not caught up in the Spirit, not caught up in the Spirit that leads them on to perfection. But Lord, we want to be caught up in that Spirit this day! Hallelujah! Amen. We want to shake off the garment of unrighteousness and unholiness, and put on the garment of praise and glory, the garment that leads us to glory. Amen. Amen. Amen. The song says, “We come to glorify Your name,” Lord, and as You look down in our hearts, You see those who are

prepared, those who are ready, those who have the desire to glorify Your name. We ask that You will help us, Lord. Help us. Help us, my God, to leave, leave, leave the things that do not profit, the things that are earthly, fleshly, and condemning unto our souls - and to reach out unto You, Who has prepared a way for us that we must walk in. We must walk in it, there is no half-way, there is no quarter way. We must be fully, fully, fully set for that which will bring us into glory, that which will glorify. When we think of glorifying - it is no earthly thing that can describe it and to make us feel that we are glorifying. We know when we hit the mark because the glory of God comes down in our souls and shows where we are and where we ought to be. Help us this day, oh God. We are on the last lap, and we do not want to fail. We want to fully measure up, so God, give us the grace, give us the glory – hallelujah - that we might press on, that we might leave earthly things, and be bound for the things that are glorifying, the things wherein You dwell, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Cecil duCille: I want to make a few remarks. First of all, I want to say how blessed I am to be with you. It is a real blessing and honor to be with you, to have the strength and the ability to be here and to share with you some of the glory which God has been sharing with us. When we gather together in a meeting like this, the promise of the Lord is that He will be with us, to bless us and to do us good. But in Jesus Christ, there is a certain order. As I sat there and the song service began to go on, I began to see and hear things which are part of the order of God in us today. Praise God. When we began to sing, “I was born to be Thy dwelling place,” it brought before me the scripture that shows that in the end of time there would be a generation born (Ephesians 1:4-12). That means from the time you were born, from the time you were conceived, you were ordained to be part of that generation, that army of God for the end of time. Now, most of you will look down and say, “Poor me. I am a wretched person,” and you cry down yourself. You don’t glorify God or see what you are. Yes, even if you find that you are a foot mat, glorify God for being a foot mat, that somebody can walk on you. Amen. Praise God. I see before me an army of God who doesn’t even know who they are. I see a people of God, with whom God is doing something in the end of time, and you don’t even know what He is doing. Amen. Your energy, your spiritual energy is a weapon against hell. You talk about glory and you don’t even know what you are talking about. The energy of God that comes through you is stopping the devil from doing what he wants to do. Amen. Satan intended to do wreckage here, and you walk in and you disrupt and disturb his whole plan. You don’t even know, because you don’t recognize who you are. Get up in the morning and say, “Lord God, I thank You for ‘Mary,’ I thank You for ‘Cecil.’” That means me saying my name and you saying your name. “I thank You, Lord God, for this Cecil that You have given me. I am so wretched and everything else, but I thank You that You can find a way to work in me, to disrupt the works of darkness, to stop Satan in his activities, and to make the world what it ought to be.” God said that if the hearts of the children didn’t turn to the fathers, what would happen? The earth would be cursed! Malachi 4:6, And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. What is He talking about? “You mean to say that God would curse His beautiful earth because I didn’t do right?” Brethren, it is because of you that the curse is not able to function as it was planned to function by Satan. Hallelujah! Somebody brought in a false doctrine, and the doctrine took the minds of wicked men and they called it Islam. They called it Islam, but do you realize that it is a doctrine of the Church? Islam came out of the Catholic Church. It was the Catholic Church that

first took the sword and said, “If you don’t accept the Pope as the head of the Church, we will kill you,” and millions were killed. Hallelujah! Now, of course, they are pretending and they are saying, “Oh, these wicked Muslims.” It is the wickedness of humanity that is showing forth itself among a group of people who have submitted themselves to this thing. So, God says, “All right.” He is calling another set of people who will submit themselves to something else. Amen. “I exalt Thee, Lord God; from this day onward, be King in my heart. Don’t allow me to do my own thing, because my way, my desire, is to do my own thing. My God, don’t allow me. I want to be a prisoner of God! I want God to dwell in me just like Satan is dwelling in that person out there!” Amen. Look at it this way. He said, they loved not their lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11). Amen. They will not love their lives. What is that? Do you know anybody who is like that? The Muslims are like that. They are going and blowing themselves up, killing themselves in order to kill a few people. What is that? That is saying to you that if they reach that stage on that side, brother, you had better quickly get to that stage on the other side because God wants a people who are fearless and who do not think about their own lives! Start teaching these children what the value of life is. The value of life is serving God, walking in the Spirit. No man can kill you, believe it or not. No man can kill you if God wants you to live! The only time anyone can kill you is if God wants you to die. Brethren, please believe me, if God wants you to die, running is not going to help you! Don’t you hear me? This is what God is saying to us as a people. I am making these few remarks before I ask Brother Tom to come and read a scripture for me. Amen. You see, I am warning him that I am going to be asking him to come and read a scripture. I am going to let you in on a little secret. The Holy Spirit gives me certain suggestions. Amen. For instance, the Holy Spirit wants to bless Brother Tom this morning. He wants him to come up here and to read a scripture for you. Amen. So, I am moving according to what is coming to me in the Spirit. Hallelujah! The rest of what may happen, I don’t know. So, the point of us being here, the point of us coming together in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is because we are people of God. Some of us have gone through hell. Oh, yes. Some of us have gone through hell. Our marriage lives have been wrecked and destroyed by Satan. But do you know what happened? We are here this morning! Satan didn’t get to kill us. Satan didn’t get to take God out of us. That is why we are here this morning! You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood! (I Peter 2:9) We used to say “funny,” but it is “a peculiar people.” You are not “funny,” you are just “peculiar.” Yes, Satan is afraid of you. He can’t understand you. He whipped you and did everything to kill you and then you come up and say, “Jesus, I love You!” Amen. Sin cannot send you to hell because God has planted something in you that will overcome every sin! Amen. Hallelujah! Praise God Almighty! Brother, come read the scripture for me. I want you to read Psalm 98, and there is one point in it that I want to show you. Hallelujah. The Lord wants your voice to read it, to go against Satan this morning. Tom Sigwarth: Hallelujah! Psalm 98:1, O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 2The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. 3He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 5Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. 7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 8Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 9Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

The Left Hand of God
May 20, 2007
Cecil duCille: Praise be to God! Thank you. The word that the Spirit brings to me here is his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. God has a right hand. If God has a right hand, that means He also has a left hand. Amen. You notice that many of the mighty men of God were left-handed. For example, David was a left-handed person. Now, why did the scriptures say that David was left-handed? Because it was giving us a hint about something of the truth that is hid in the scriptures. Right along in scriptures you find little hints that point to certain truths that you would never see in a hundred years. David was left-handed because God was saying that David and the people of Israel were the “left hand of God.” All right, now, David went to the Lord and said, “Lord, the Philistines have come up to fight me. Shall I go out and fight them?” (II Samuel 5:19). Now, I don’t know if you think that you are so independent that you can do things without asking God. But I am telling you; begin to get into the habit of asking God if you can go out to the stores this morning. So, David went and asked God and God said, “Yes, go up against them and you will overcome them.” Now, what would you do, Brother Peter? What would you do, Brother David, if God told you, “Yes, the victory is yours”? If you are like me, then you would get up, rush out and tear them to pieces. But David knew God a little bit more than I would have. So, he went up to the battle, but as a general, he knew that every battle had a certain order for victory. He went up but he stopped long enough to ask, “God, now that we are here, what is the order of battle?” Now, the right hand and the left hand work together. Your right hand can lift so much, your left hand can lift so much, but when you put them together, both hands will lift three times more than each hand by itself. So, the left hand of God must ask the right hand to work first. The right hand is going to direct the battle, not the left hand. So God said, “Don’t move. Divide your people into three companies, hide behind the mulberry trees, and when you see My signal - I am going to shake the leaves - then the victory will be yours” (II Samuel 5:23-24). Do you know what happened? When the leaves started to shake, the battle was over! The right hand of God had smitten them, and they only went to mop up. Therefore, we are the left hand of God. In other words, we are the part of God that is in the natural. Amen. We are in the natural. God wants us to realize that God uses us, just like a man will use his left hand with his right. If God sends you over there to pray for somebody, go, but when you go, find out what God wants you to say and what God wants you to do. Amen. This thought came in when we were singing and praising, and God said, “You are My left hand.” Turn to Joel 2. You know, we have heard these things many times, but sometimes we get a new revelation on the revelation that we had before. Sometimes we get a new revelation on the new revelation, and that is what it is like. We will read from verse 28, And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Now, God is talking about a special time and a special pouring out of His Spirit and I want you to notice what the pouring out of His Spirit does, because He says He is going to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. That means that the Spirit of God will be poured out upon the left hand, or the Body of Christ. The Spirit will be poured out at the same time upon the Right Hand, which is the Spirit of God Himself to be with them. The Spirit will be poured out upon the Baptists. The Spirit will be poured out upon the Methodists. The Spirit will be poured out upon the Democrats. The Spirit will be poured out on the Republicans. The Spirit will be poured out on every class of sinner that there is. And watch what is going to happen! We will have the old men dreaming dreams, we will have the young men having visions. In other words, we will have what we would call a “move of the Spirit,” because the Spirit is upon us! Amen.

Let’s read a little more. Joel 2:30, And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. That is the same pouring out of the Spirit. The Spirit that is quickening you is the same Spirit that is causing blood and fire. Now, you know that blood means that somebody is going to die. Amen. Fire and pillars of smoke means atomic bombs are going to go off in the earth. You know, somehow or the other, somebody said that they didn’t read about the atomic bombs in the Bible. I’m glad God didn’t write it there, because somebody would have made it before. Amen. So, the pillars of smoke are caused by the atomic weaponry that is going to be used in the world, and they have a great, terrible pillar of smoke going up into the stratosphere. And, of course, there would be blood, and there would be fire. 31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. Now, I want you to understand what we are talking about. I have seen the sun turn into darkness, but guess what? It was a shadow that came over me. In other words, we had an eclipse, and all the animals thought it was night and they started carrying on, and the weather dropped 30 degrees. Hhmm? Thirty degrees, just while the thing passed over. So, we can understand what is going to happen. You have to get your warm clothes ready, because if the sun turns into darkness, it is going to be cold down here. 32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: Remember now, it shows that there is a time when we are going to need deliverance. Believe me, brethren.
I remember we were in California one time, and we set a date for a baptism, and we did not know that it would be the coldest day of the year. When we went out to that baptismal pool, everybody was shivering. Now, I come from Jamaica originally, and now Florida, you know. Down there we don’t know anything about cold, but I couldn’t let down God. The people wanted to be baptized, though they were shivering. So, Brother Smiley was beside me and we both went into the water and, brother, we were dying. We were in ice water. He whispered to me, “I am COLD!” I said, “Let us pray.” Both of us held to God and said, “God, send Your warmth to us.” Believe you me, it was so comfortable that we didn’t want to come out of the water. We stood there for over an hour and baptized the people. They would come in shivering, and go get their cover up and put on clothes and everything, and we had to remain there in the pool. And it was WARM. Amen. I love God! Yeshua! I love God! Amen. I love God! Amen. He will do anything. Don’t you understand? Anything you can ask Him for, He will do it. The truth is, most of the things that you ask God for, it is God that put it in your mind to ask Him for it. Amen. Believe you me, God is a Savior to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25). It means to say, no matter how sinful I am, no matter how wretched I am, that is no barrier to God. He said that anyone in that day that shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered (Joel 2:32). Isn’t that wonderful? You see, it is a state of mind. I am not a psychologist or anything like that, but I am telling you that God Almighty made that mind that you have. He made that mind that you have and that mind controls this body much more than you know. Anything you can believe can come to pass. Are you with me? Anything that you can believe can come to pass. If you can believe that you will fly, you will fly. You see, the problem is that it is hard for you to believe that you will be able to get up and fly. But if you are in such a trouble that you have to leave a place, you have to move out from one place to the other, God will take you out of there before you know it. Amen. I am telling you from experience that the Bible that you have is only a book of suggestions. It suggests things, but the mind that you have is a source of power and action. Hallelujah! You don’t have to grow old. You don’t have to grow weak. It is according to how you believe. If you believe that you are old and weak, and that you are going to get it, then you are going to get it. If you believe

that the God in you is a consuming fire, that He is energy and life, you will have energy and life. Moses said to God, “I am 80 years of age and I am just as when I was a young man when You called me and sent me out.” The Bible said, his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated (Deuteronomy 34:7). Hear me now! You can go to bed old and get up young, if you can believe it. I know it is hard for you to believe it, but if you believe God, you can believe anything! Jesus said to the brethren, in another suggestion to their minds, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18). That means that God the Father has given me power, so that I can not only create movement on earth, but I can create movement in the heavens. Oh, glory to God! Hallelujah! Then He made the suggestion. He said, “You go with My authority, and preach the gospel.” Amen. Do you know what He said to me when He sent me out? I was talking to Jesus as a person sitting down there and He said, “No man shall stand before you all the days of your life: as I was with Moses, so shall I be with you” (Joshua 1:5). My God, help us. Help us! Eighty years I have not been defeated. Hallelujah! The first house that we bought, we moved in with a contract, you know. A brother helped us to get the house and everything like that. But I had a contract with the Lord. I said, “Lord, I want a house.” Now, I am not telling you to do this, because I do believe that God puts certain suggestions in people’s minds to make them ask certain things. So, if I am telling you a story and you say, “Well, I am going to do like Cec did,” you might be heading for defeat. You must get your own thoughts from heaven. But the thought that came to me was, “Lord, I want a house for my wife and my children, but I do not want one that I am going to owe money on, because I don’t like the idea of having to pay money every month when I don’t have a salary.” Right? So a man came and offered me this place, and he wanted to give it to me for nothing. Do you hear that? He said, “You take care of my grandparents, my uncle and auntie, and they will give you the house and you will possess the house when they die.” When he came with that contract before me, the Lord said, “Offer him ‘X’ amount for the house.” I didn’t have a cent, but He said, “Offer him ‘X’ amount for the house.” Top price. I said to the man, “Thank you, but no. I will not work on that contract. I will purchase the house for ‘X’ amount.” The man said, “What kind of idiot are you? I would give you the house for two-thirds of what you say.” I said, “God said that I must buy the house from you for that amount of money, and it is either that or no deal.” He said, “All right.” We got the contract drawn up and the house was delivered over to me. My brother-in-law came and said, “Did you notice that that property has another lot on another street behind it?” I said, “No, I didn’t notice it.” He said, “Well, I will buy the lot from you.” I said, “How much do you want to pay me for the lot?” He said, “I will pay you ‘X’ amount.” It was the same amount that I had bought the whole place for. Now, remember, he was a real estate contractor and he knew what he was doing. This was a very valuable, high-class area. So, we did the deal, and all of a sudden I found that I had a house without owing anything on it! What happened then is that this brother who had helped us to get the house came to me and said, “Now that you have got into this deal, you must give me half of that money.” Now, God didn’t tell me about that, though in my heart I felt that we should give him something. So, I said, “No. No, no, no. This deal was done by the Lord. I will get some money and give you something, but not half and put myself back into debt.” He said, “Listen, I am not asking you. I am telling you.” I said, “Well, no man is able to do that to me. I will not.” He said, “Well, all right. We’ll see.” The next thing that happened was that I got a letter from a lawyer that a caveat(lien) had been put against the house for monies that I “owed” to this brother. Now, I am telling you about brethren; people in the Lord that you fellowship with. You see, there is a lot of unrighteousness amongst us. I said, “But I don’t owe this man anything. I never borrowed any money. What is this?” So I went down and got a lawyer, and this lawyer called me in. I said, “I don’t owe this man anything.” He said, “Don’t you?” and He took out a long paper and

handed it to me. He said, “This man has all this against your place. He has the dates and money owed right there.” For three years or more, the brother had been our best “donor.” He was in a good position and he would give us an offering every month. He gave us his motorcycle, so we did the mission work on motorcycle, up and down over the hills and mountains of Jamaica. The man had put down on paper every tithe that he had given to the church and sued me for them. Amen. Now, to you that probably looks like defeat, right? Remember, God said He was going to give us this place. I don’t know if you read in your Bible, but He says you will get a hundredfold with tribulation (Mark 10:30). Did you read that in your Bible? So then, what were we going to do? I went to the lawyers and I said, “Well, you have a good case.” You know, this man gave it to the church; he shouldn’t be able to do that. But then the Lord said to me, “If your brother would take you to the law to get your coat, give him the cloak also” (Matthew 5:40). Give him more than what he is asking for! So what did I do? I said to the lawyer, “Give it to him. No case.” The lawyer said, “But you can win this case.” I said, “No court for me. I have been in the court house for many years, working as Assistant Prosecutor, and I happen to know that no judge is going to look at this kind of money given to a minister as just for nothing. If this man says this is so, the first thing the judge is going to find out is, ‘Did you get this money?’ and I will say ‘Yes.’ Ho ho ho, he is going to give him the case anyhow.” So I gave him the property. The wife and kids, we were small enough that we could all fit in a little Morris Minor. You people don’t know anything about those, but you see those little cars that they make now? The little ones that look like a box? It was something like that. The whole family with all our earthly goods fit in that car with bedding and everything on top of the car, and children piled up with bundles on them. We said goodbye to the house and we left. While we were going on down the road, tears began to run down my wife’s face, and the Lord spoke and said, “Don’t worry. I will give you ten times more than this.” Amen. “No man shall stand before you all the days of your life.” It doesn’t mean that you are going to take all the properties around here. It means that you have to walk in the Word of God and in the Spirit of God. So He said, then, that in the last days there would be a people who will come, upon whom He will pour out His Spirit. Now, what I saw here is temples. You start to sing, “I exalt Thee.” You must now exalt Jesus Christ to be King of your heart. No more will your own mind govern your activities, but the Spirit of God will begin to govern your activities. The Spirit of God will say, “Get up. Get some exercise.” Or maybe, “Time to lay down.” You want to work all night but He may say, “Time to lay down” or, “Time to get up.” That is because you gave Him that temple, and He must be LORD inside that temple; not just Lord Jesus Christ for everybody, but Lord Jesus Christ for my temple. Bless God Almighty. Amen. Give Him your legs. Give Him your joints. Do you know why I am talking about that? Joints start paining. Amen. My knee joint hurt so much that I could not sleep. I went to the doctor. The doctor said, “Arthritis!” Amen. But hear this one now! When I get up to preach, there is no pain in the joints. There are no paining joints! (Brother duCille hops across the platform.) Something is wrong! Don’t you think so, brother? Something is wrong! That paining joint is in my mind. Now, let’s put it the other way. You have the mind and you should have healed that joint by the mind because the mind says to get up and preach, and your joint is obeying. The joint is obeying! Do you understand me, brethren? Please try to understand. Your body is obeying your mind. If your mind tells you that you are 90 years of age, no matter how young you are, you are going to get to be 90 pretty quick! Hallelujah!

Let us become supernatural people. For God’s sake brethren, let us BE SUPERNATURAL. We are not natural! Let us not slip into the natural. Let us ARISE out of the natural, INTO the supernatural, because this is the anointing that God says, “He will pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh, and your sons and your daughters…” (Joel 2:28). You notice He said that old men are going to behave like young men. Didn’t He say that? This is what He is talking about! There is a ministry of God in each person. Like how my whole body is ministering, now my knees have to start ministering. Amen. My knees have to minister because it is time to minister. It is time to stand up and minister for hours and to preach without having any disruption or failure. LET US ARISE! Get up in the morning and say, “Jesus, I exalt You to be King over my body today.” Amen. Now, you say to yourself, “But what if I sin or if I do wrong?” “If any man sin…” Come on, now, “If the beautiful, righteous people sin…” Did he say that? He said, “If ANY MAN sin, you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (I John 2:1). Let’s put it another way. If anyone gets dirty, there is a washerwoman standing beside you that is ready to clean you up. Oh, yes! Amen. Jesus Christ died in order that you should not sin. That we all understand. He died to prevent you from sinning, and we all understand that. But, BUT, I know you! I know your weakness and that you are going to sin. But IF you sin, you have an advocate with the Father, who is ready to forgive you of all sins, so that when you walked through the door this morning, you should have had no sin. You should have already asked the advocate to clean you up. But if you didn’t ask the advocate then, you still have the right and the opportunity to ask the advocate any time you want. “Clean me up, Jesus!” Amen. “Set me free, Jesus!” Amen. He said that deliverance will be let loose. Deliverance will be let loose in the whole earth (Joel 2:32). Hallelujah! I tell you, as I sat down there, He brought a song and the song is, “I am the Lord that healeth thee” (Exodus 15:26). I see all the spiritual diseases, and He is saying, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” There is nothing that you have done that is too bad for Jesus Christ to deliver you and to set you free, to heal you right now and to make you just as if you had never sinned. Now, that is the great part about it. I see you do something wrong, and I hold you up in my mind, thinking, “You are unrighteous. Hmmm,” but I say, “Hello. Praise God. God bless you!” But still, I have it in my mind, “You are unrighteous.” I can’t get away from it. But guess what happened? You were delivered long ago. Amen. “I AM the Lord that healeth thee,” and as we sing, “I AM the Lord that healeth thee,” you can see the healing power of God coming down. Let’s turn our Bibles to Acts, and we are going to see where Peter quoted this very scripture. Why did Peter quote it? Just so you would feel, “That is gone, then. That is finished and done with because Peter said that it is finished”? Now, let’s go back a moment. The Holy Ghost came down on them and Peter got up to preach. He was totally in the Spirit. Acts 2:15, For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. Now, with the pouring out of the Spirit, there is a beginning and there is an ending. So then, at the beginning of the pouring out, you have the former rain but in the last days you have the latter rain. In the beginning of the planting season you had the rain and then again at the time of harvest you have another rain for the ripening of the grain.

19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: - but look at this, there was no blood. When the Holy Ghost fell at Pentecost, was there any blood? No, the blood comes afterward. Don’t you see what is happening? That was the beginning and this is going to be the ending. So when Peter said there would be “blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,” as Joel said, he was only quoting Joel. But it was only part of the prophecy that had begun to be poured out.
Now, at that time, the Roman power was ruling and that power has developed; do you think we are still having the Roman power? Everything we have is Roman, including our language. Everything we have is Roman, Roman, Roman. Both English and Spanish - Roman. Everything is Roman. German - Roman. Italian - Roman. Europe - all Roman. Amen. So, the Roman power that created this problem, this debacle, this horrible condition, is gaining, is coming to its fullness. What God said was that He is preparing a people to deal with it, this Roman-ness, in our time! So, we are not only going to deal with the situation in the natural, but also in the spiritual. Now, the spiritual is first, and we, the people of God, are going to have to get that in our minds and in our hearts and then out there. You cannot expect to minister to the earth unless you minister to your earth first. Are you with me? So, what God is saying is that this time, the second pouring out of His Spirit, or the last pouring out of His Spirit, is going to take over and overcome the world. Brethren, He said that the last enemy that shall be overcome is death (I Corinthians 15:26)! Do you think you are going to overcome death? Do you think you are going to get to the point where they can’t kill you again? Amen. In order to overcome death, you have to prove it. Now, Peter, how are you going to prove that you are immortal? Peter: A) If I don’t die, or B) If I die and I resurrect. Cecil duCille: No, if you don’t die, you will never prove it. You wouldn’t convince me that you are immortal if I could stick you with a knife and you hollered. Amen. The only way to prove that you are immortal is to let them kill you, and then you come back and say, “Well, I told you.” Come on, you tell me. This is what God is training you for. That is why he said that you must not fear death. You must come to the point where you have overcome death (Revelation 2:10), and you laugh death in the face. “Come, I dare you to kill me.” Jesus said, “If you kill Me, I will rise again on the third day” (John 2:19-20). They didn’t believe, but guess what? They went to Pilate and said, “Give us a guard. Give us some human beings with weapons and let us stand guard over that tomb, because this deceiver, His people are going to come and seize His body and then proclaim that He is resurrected” (Matthew 27:63-66). Brethren, that was the very thing that proved the resurrection to them, because they had their guard there. When Jesus resurrected, many men, including Pilate and all those, accepted Jesus as the Son of God. As a matter of a fact, the centurion stood up there, and when he saw the Man - he had seen many men die - but when he saw this Man, he said, “Truly, that is the Son of God” (Matthew 27:54, Mark 15:39, Luke 23:47). Amen. He knew nothing about God. As a matter of a fact, he said the “Son of Zeus.” He didn’t know anything about Elohim. He said “Zeus.” But it turns out that God is not finished with this people. He wants a whole group of people all over the world that will resurrect before the sinners and say, “I told you!” BUT you have to come to the point in your mind and in your consciousness where you can rejoice in the fact that they will kill you. Amen. AMEN. You must come to the point where you REJOICE in your heart, “Man, I am going to show them a thing today that they have never seen before. KILL ME! And in three and a half days I am going to rise up and go back to the courthouse, and say, ‘REMEMBER ME?’” Amen. This is what the scripture is speaking about. He said, The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come (Joel 2:31).

S-U-N, S-O-N. Hear me now. S-U-N, S-O-N. The SU-N got dark when the S-O-N died. Caleb, do you understand the difference between the S-U-N and the S-O-N? (Yes.) There you are! So, when the S-O-N-S, that means more than one, right? All of us! When the SONS die the S-U-N will get dark. Now, let me tell you when it is going to happen and then you are going to kick me out of this place. Turn your Bibles to Matthew 24:29. What does it say? Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the S-U-N be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars, S-ON-S… Come on, are you with me? …shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son, S-O-N, of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Amen. What it means is that the Christ that you have in you now will take over this body and blaze His glory out upon the people of this world, and they will no longer see you as whatever they call you. They will see you as Christ Jesus walking the earth. Of course, you noticed that it said the S-o-n will come from heaven. Are you with me? The Son of God will come from heaven, and when He appears, we will appear. Do you see how scriptures can be put together? The scriptures say that when He shall appear, then shall we also appear, because we will be like Him (Matthew 24:30, I John 3:2). They didn’t know us before. You are not appearing now. You are covered up with clouds, the cloud of your flesh. It is a covering! It is a cloud that is covering who you really are, but there is going to be a breaking loose. Oh! Glory to God! Do you know something? When a demon spirit sees you, what do you think he sees? For instance, when you resist him and he flees from you, why does he flee from you? They flee because the energy and the light of Jesus that is hidden in you which is covered up with a lot of flesh breaks through in its Glory. Many places in the scripture God calls it clouds. Did the scripture tell you that He will appear in clouds? But it said clouds of glory. That means that the saints are the clouds that are covering Him. Jesus is being covered up now by those of us who have Christ in us. We are like a cloud that covers the sun. We are covering Him. People don’t see Jesus when they see you walking down the street. They see man. They see woman. Do you understand? God is saying, Immediately after the tribulation… The problem that I have is that I don’t know what immediately means in the scripture. God said that out of the Euphrates shall come the four angels of destruction to destroy the earth (Revelation 9:14). We will go into that detail a little more tomorrow, if God is willing. But please, let us get our minds into the things of God so that we can see clearly what is happening out there. Out of the Euphrates will come four angels, the first is one of murder and destruction (Revelation 9:21). Revelation 7:1 says that there were four angels standing on the four corners of the earth. Amen. Four angels standing on the four corners of the earth waiting for the signal to destroy, and then the fifth angel rose up. What blesses me is that the scripture is so accurate. Amen? Angels generally come down, right? These angels come up. That means that they are human messengers of God, rising up in the Spirit. This one angel, the fifth angel - five is the number of the 5-fold ministry – will rise up and say, “Don’t hurt the earth, don’t touch the sea, don’t touch the grass, the little Christians out there. Don’t touch anything till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads” (Revelation 7:3). Oh, yes! Don’t you see? Can’t you see with me that God is doing something to your mind? You don’t think like you used to think any more. You want God now. You are part of this God-flow. God is flowing through the earth. There is part of this resurrection Spirit, the I AM - the resurrection Spirit of the Living God is rising up in His people. Hallelujah! There is a resurrection going on. You are being anointed in your forehead.

Stop thinking about marriage. STOP THINKING ABOUT MARRIAGE. All that will come. You know, all that will come. If God wants you to be married, He will get you married. You don’t have to worry about it. “Is it Tom? Is it Harry? Is it Jane? Is it him? Is it her?” Oh, may God help us. Your mind must be concentrated upon God and when your mind is concentrated upon God, ALL THINGS come. Oh, they come to you. You don’t have to go seeking them. Don’t you see what I am trying to say to you? RISE UP CHURCH! RISE UP! Rise up, church, rise up! Command the resurrection. Don’t consider your weakness, your sin and your fleshy desires. These are the things you overcome by the command from your mind. Do you understand me? Function in your human capacity. Do what you have to do. Amen. That doesn’t bother the Son of God. It says, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin (I John 3:9). I don’t expect any one of you to commit sin. I expect you are going to sin, but I don’t expect you to commit sin. Amen? When I bump my toe and fall down, do you say that I laid down? When a man lays down, he does it willfully. When you bump your toe and you drop on your nose, you get up quickly, and think, “I didn’t plan that! That wasn’t part of the plan.” So, sons of God are not sinners! If you sin habitually, you are not a son of God! So, how do you come from being not a son of God to being a son of God? Command it. “In the name of Jesus Christ, let my sins be forgiven. Let the Spirit of the living God sanctify my soul. Let God come in where the devil has made an in-road and hurt me. I am against the works of darkness that have taken over me! I command the heavens!” When Jesus was standing before the High Priest, the High Priest said to Him, “Are you the Son of God?” Jesus did not answer. He said, “I command you in the name of …” He did not say Zeus. He said, “I command you in the name of Elohim” (Mark 5:7). He might have used Elohim or he might have used El Shaddai. But he said, “I command you by the Most High God, are you the Son of God?” Jesus had to answer. He HAD to answer. The sinner-man commanded God to speak to him. Because he used the name of Father God, Jesus Christ said, “Thou sayest.” In other words, “So it is.” Amen. You have the power to command deliverance. One scripture said, “I command deliverance for Jacob” (Psalm 44:4). You command deliverance. Whatever the malady is, YOU MUST COMMAND DELIVERANCE! Whatever the trouble is… I saw it here: disease, sickness, spiritual disease in the Body, and the LORD said, “I AM the LORD that healeth thee… He sent His Word and healed our disease, I AM the LORD that healeth thee.” Not one sick person must go through that door, and we are talking about spiritual sickness, which is the worst kind of sickness! “I AM the LORD that healeth thee,” saith the Lord God to this congregation. “I AM your God. You shall have no other God beside Me. I command your deliverance. I command your healing. Whatever the problem was, I am going to fix your life.” We have no right to be sick. I am talking about spiritual sickness, because natural sickness is something much less than spiritual sickness. Spiritual sickness cures natural sickness. I have seen every disease healed in my life that I know of. I have seen AIDS healed. Oh yes, right in Illinois here, I have seen AIDS healed. I have seen every disease healed. I have seen broken bones healed. Amen. The X-ray showed bones broken - prayer - then X-ray and NO bones broken. So, that is simple for God. Please get into the state of mind, get into the state of mind, GET INTO THE STATE OF MIND! Somebody says, “Boy, he is gone. He is now preaching MIND there.” I am telling you, God made the mind as the controller of the soul. The mind tells the foot to move and the foot has to move because the mind controls the body. Amen. They are talking about nerves and whatever else to send the message to the brain and the brain sends the message... I don’t even see it that way. It is

something supernatural. It is something supernatural that the body works as soon as the mind says, “Do that.” And if that is the case, you had better begin to take care of your mind. Let me tell you something. I am going to tell you some secrets. When you begin to study the mind in the occult, the first stage that the Rosicrucian goes through is that he must use his mind to move a piece of paper around a saucer. Now, you can’t tell me that there are any nerve attachments from the mind to that paper. It is absolutely a spiritual operation. He moves the paper around and he passes the first stage in Rosicrucianism and then he goes on studying other things. But you know, he finds out that he comes to a stage where he can’t move a child of God. Amen. He can’t cause a child of God to do what he wants him to do, but he could cause other people to do it. Hallelujah! Now, God is saying to you, Keep thy heart with all diligence (Proverbs 4:23). What do you think your heart is? It is the conclusion of the whole soul. The mind is the head of the soul. …for out of it are the issues of life. Hallelujah! BEGIN TO THINK OF GOD! Many years ago I saw something happen down in West Palm Beach. In those days, we had churches all over Florida. West Palm Beach was a very big, strong group. There was a Jewish brother in the group, and there was a sister in the group who wanted to have a short-cut into God. Have you ever met anybody who wanted a short-cut into God? Amen. You want to be righteous, but you want to have a short-cut into God, and this man knew the Word of God well. He knew well that there was a short-cut into God. Does anybody else here believe that there is a shortcut into God? Instead of going around and struggling with this and that and the other, you just go and get your mind into God, into Christ. So, he told the sister to begin to call upon the name of Yeshua, to call Him, call Jesus, and if she kept calling Jesus long enough, He would come. Now, I am telling you that this is not the way to do it. This is not the way to do it, but I’m telling you what happens. Just as the High Priest commanded Jesus, “I adjure thee by the Most High God, Jehovah, are You the Christ?” This woman began to call Jesus. She said, “Jesus. Jesus.” You know what hysteria is? She was kind of God-hysterical after half a day calling, “Jesus,” and she got so bad that she couldn’t stop. She couldn’t do anything, but say, “Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.” By the time it was the second day, her husband was troubled, because she had gone, like, out of her mind. She wanted Jesus. And as she continued to call, her husband called us and told us that his wife had gone over the deep end and she was just calling, “Jesus,” so he didn’t know what to do. He asked her to sit beside him and watch television. He was thinking that would help her, but she sat down there looking at the television, and said, “Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.” She told me that she didn’t see what was on the television, but that she saw Jesus stand up behind the television, and He beckoned to her to come. So she got up, and when she got up, she looked back and she saw herself sitting in the chair and she went behind to Jesus and talked with Him. I won’t go into details of some of the things that Jesus told her, but she got back into her body and sat downwith her husband. After a bit, he said, “All right, let’s go to bed.” When they went towards the bedroom, he went through the door and she got the notion that she could walk through the wall, so she went to the wall and, no problem, she went right through the wall. She said that when she was in the bedroom she looked at the bed and said to herself, “Hmmm. If I could go through the wall like that, then if I lie down on the bed, I am going to go through the bed.” But then she said, “No.” She was going to lie down on the bed, so she got ready and got into the bed. And sure enough, she laid on the bed. So, she woke up the next morning, and she said, “Well, last night, I came in here through the wall. I had better go this morning and try to walk through the wall again.” Well, she got a RUDE awakening.

What lesson did we learn? I asked her, “Why, then, didn’t you go through the bed when you laid down on it?” She said she asked the Lord and the Lord said, “Because you WILLED to lie down on the bed. You laid down on the bed - that was what you wanted to do, therefore you laid down on the bed. You wanted to go through the wall last night, and you went through the wall because you were in the Spirit. But you woke up the next morning and you weren’t in the same place. You couldn’t stay there, so this morning you hit the wall.” So, the experience she had didn’t bring her higher in God. The only way you can be higher in God is if you stay there. You have to get the thoughts of God into your mind, DEFYING the natural. A problem comes before you and the problem is vicious and big, so you have to immediately believe that Christ Jesus will take care of that problem - and believe it enough to rejoice. I noticed that when the songs were going on and it said, “Rejoice in the Lord,” feet were heavy and heads were heavy. There was no rejoicing. It is because you didn’t believe it. You believe in the problems that bother you more than you believe in God. “I Exalt Thee” means, “I exalt You above my problems. I exalt Thee above my financial problems, my circumstances that hold me earthbound! Right now, I exalt You, Jesus Christ, above every circumstance! I EXALT THEE!” Don’t you understand then, why we have a song service? You must begin to put Jesus Christ in the place where He belongs - above all principalities and powers. AMEN! Hallelujah! Praise God! I want you to catch this one thought, that your mind is the head of your soul. God is a Spirit, and the Spirit of God works with your spirit and your spirit works with your mind. AND if you can get it in your mind, out of your spirit, that GOD IS ALL POWERFUL, THAT GOD DOES ALL THINGS FOR ME… I go back on it - if you want a husband, you want to be married, and it becomes a problem to your spiritual growth, just put it into a position where Jesus Christ is going to take charge of it. Just say, “Jesus, I want to be married. Jesus, I want to be married. Sometimes to be married, you are going to have trouble in the flesh, but nevertheless, I want to be married. You said that whatever I want I should tell You, so I am telling You and I leave it there. YOU do the business for me.” And then you start concentrating on God. Hallelujah! Let us close with this song, “I AM the Lord that healeth thee, I AM the Lord your Healer, I sent My Word and healed your disease, I AM the Lord your Healer.” Amen.
