Volume 6 The Tears of Calvary

by Ernest Angley

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious

promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the
divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in
the world through lust (II Peter 1:4). If we could not be
partakers of His divine nature, we could not be expected to walk
and talk like Jesus. But Jesus brought divine blood; and that
divine blood is imparted into us when we receive salvation. That May 1991
divine blood is the reason we can be like Him—and we must be
like Him—the reason the enemy cannot overcome us any more
than the enemy was able to overcome Jesus. Because of His Topics: Bride of Christ,
blood, we can become partakers of His nature. Calvary
The Glorious Church is a partaker of the divine nature of Jesus
night and day, a Jesus-overcomer. She is just like Him. The Early Church members of the Glorious
Church were like Him so much that when they spoke, it was the same as Jesus speaking. When
they commanded it was the same as though the Master were still commanding on the shores of
Galilee. The sick were healed just as they were when He was on Earth.

To the Glorious Church of yesterday and today, the partakers of His divine nature, Jesus said, He
that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than
these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my
name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any
thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray
the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for
ever; But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my
name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:12-16, 26).

Why did Jesus perform signs, wonders and miracles? Not one was for Himself. He did His works
for us. The Bible tells us that we should follow in His steps, that we would do greater works.
Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me (Mark 8:34). It's wonderful that we have the same calling from Jesus that He gave to the
Twelve: Follow thou me. We don't follow the opinions of others; we don't follow personalities.
We follow Jesus. We are disciples of Him, the Glorious Church.

In the seventeenth chapter of John, we read a wonderful prayer of Jesus. Here we can tune in on
Jesus talking to the Father. He spoke in a simple way; no doubt entered in, no fear. Jesus prayed,
knowing the Father always heard Him. What confidence! Jesus, speaking to the Father said, I
have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do
(John 17:4).

Oh Father, I cry today for the Glorious Church, that at the end of this last hour she will be able to
say what Jesus said: "We have finished the work you gave us, oh Father!" I pray that each
member of the Glorious Church will be able to say that he or she has finished His work.

Just as the Father gave the Son work, Jesus has given the Glorious Church work. Our work is
mapped out for us. Jesus had the Holy Spirit to help Him accomplish that work, and we have the
same Holy Spirit to help us accomplish His work that He has planned for us to do.

The prayer of Jesus continues: I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou
gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have
kept thy word (verse 6). When you keep the Word of God, you live absolutely free from all sin.
Sin is transgression against God and His Word.

For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received
them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that
thou didst send me (verse 8). Jesus gave the disciples exactly what the Father gave Him; and
the Glorious Church today is given exactly what Jesus gives through the Holy Spirit, all of His
truths. The Lord reminded His disciples that the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit would bring all
things to their remembrance.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee.
Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they
may be one, as we are. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world (verses 11,14). Even as
Jesus is not of the world, His disciples of yesterday and today are not of the world. Just as pure,
holy, separated unto God as Jesus is the Glorious Church. Sons and daughters of God through the
blood of Calvary, the Glorious Church is a new creation.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest

keep them from the evil (verse 15). Keeping us from evil is keeping us from all sin. Any sin is
evil or it wouldn't be sin.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world (verse 16). Oh Glorious Church,
shout the praises of God! Delight in the fact that you are pure, clean, holy, no more a part of the
world than the Master was!

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world
(verse 18). Just as the Father sent the Son, the Lord is sending you. He is saying to you today, Go
ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:15,16). Go
into all nations, teaching what Jesus has taught you.

Jesus makes it clear that He was not only praying for the disciples of His day, but for us as well
when He says, Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on
me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in
thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent
me (John 17:20,21). How could you have any sin in you and still be one with Jesus, the Father and
the Holy Ghost? Impossible. If we are one with the Son, one with the Father, one with the Holy
Ghost, we are part of the Godhead.

Signs, wonders, miracles and all the works of Jesus performed through believers convince sincere
doubters of His divinity. Unfortunately, some doubters are not sincere; they don't want to believe,
doubting because they would rather doubt. No miracle, regardless of what God does, will turn
dishonest doubters to God; they have given themselves over to demonic powers, and they love the
power of the devil, hating the power of God. They don't want anything to do with God, nor do they
want to live according to the Word of God. Because they choose not to be rid of their sins, they cry
out against the truth in the Word. When someone knocks a "home run" for Jesus, they call it a
"foul ball." We are not moved by their unbelief, but go right on proclaiming thus saith the Lord.
On the day of Judgment, they will meet their words of doubt and blasphemy—unable to use the
excuse of never hearing the truth—and be damned forever. Being one with the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost means dedication, separation, holy, righteous Jesus-living.

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as
we are one (verse 22). The same glory, the same power the Father gave Jesus, He has given us.
He has equipped us to be the same kind of witness with all the signs and wonders He gave to Jesus
when He was here on Earth. I can hear the Master cry: Oh Father, I came down, a lowly birth so I
could become related to the human race. I was a brother to human beings on planet Earth. The
only difference, I had divine blood in me. Through your great plan, Father, I went to Calvary to
shed that divine blood. Now these others are partakers; now they can be one. I bestow upon them
them the same kind of glory, the same kind of power that you bestowed upon me. The glory
which thou gavest me I have given them that they may be one even as we are one. I in them,
and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know
that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me (verse 23). That we

may be perfect in one. There is no perfection in even a speck of sin. Jesus loves those who are in
Him the way the Father loved Him. Jesus said the Glorious Church would be loved by the Father
with the same kind of love, in the same way the Father loved Jesus when He was here on Earth.

And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith
thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them (verse 26). There is no chance that God
will overlook one speck of sin in such a relationship. This is Divinity; this is man becoming
associated one hundred percent with Divinity, man living totally in the holiness and righteousness
of God. There is no excuse for sin; the Lord said we are without excuse.

Because the Bride of Christ cries with all the love He brought, all the faith He used, with all the
hope He served, with all the peace He gave, multitudes are being delivered and will be delivered in
this last hour. She cries with the whole heart of Calvary, the whole heart of Christ. No wonder the
Glorious Church is favored and loved by the Father; for when He looks, He sees faithful sons and
daughters! At one time He saw just His Son, the only Begotten. God gave that only Begotten on
Calvary so there could be many sons and daughters. You can't be a son or daughter of God and still
have even a little sin in your life. Your heart could not be like His—and you must have a heart like
His.

Shortly, the Glorious Church will be in heaven; holy feet will walk down the avenue of Glory.
Blessed be the name of the Lord! Soon the Glorious Church will be standing before the Throne of
God, clean as heaven itself, pure as God. Yes, it's wonderful to look upon the Glorious Church, to
see the purity, the love of Jesus—all of Him.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God (Matthew 5:8). The pure in heart
make up the Glorious Church. She has accepted all of the Sermon on the Mount, and she lives
according to everything Jesus said in it.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of
the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven
(Matthew 5:20). The Glorious Church unquestioningly accepts the fact that each member must be
free from all sin.

Be ye therefore, perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (Matthew

5:48). We must be like the Father, perfect in love, in serving Him, perfect in staying out of sin.
Divine blood is our protection; divine blood is our keeper. Divine blood makes holy living
possible—His life imparted into us replacing the fallen nature we were born with. What can wash

away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can give us power over all sin? Nothing but
the blood of Jesus. Thank God for the blood!

Since God cannot look upon sin of any kind, the fallen nature that has been in man's bloodline since
the fall in Eden had to be changed. That change could be made only when Jesus imparted His
sinless blood into the life stream of man. Jesus—Divinity—became related to the human race in
order to replace that fallen nature with His sinless blood, making those born new in His blood
acceptable to the Father. When He now looks at the born-new Christians, He no longer sees the
fallen nature they were born with, but He sees Christ. Christ has been imparted into accepting
hearts.

The way the devil fears and flees the blood of Jesus should tell you of its power. Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). You
can only resist the devil through the power in the blood of the Son of God as you submit yourself to
God. If you do not use the blood, you have no victory, no power over Lucifer. Your victory is all in
the divine nature of God. The devil cannot defeat the divine nature of God that flows in the lives, in
the spirits of those who belong to the Glorious Church, the Bride of Christ.

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or
else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon
(Matthew 6:24). You cannot serve sin and righteousness both. If you commit one sin, you're
bound to the devil; for sin is of the devil. God has no part in sin whatsoever. God cannot endorse
one particle of sin. Not one sin will ever enter heaven; that's the reason it was necessary for Jesus
to come with His divine blood to impart His life into whosoever-will.

God tried using the blood of animals, using sacrifices; but that wouldn't work. Sacrificial offerings
didn't keep man out of sin; they only made it evident that on his own, man could not live holy. Man
needed something more than the sacrifices and the Day of Atonement of the Old Testament times.
Only the Atonement of the blood of Jesus come down from heaven is sufficient to keep you out of
sin if you want to stay out. The blood of Jesus flowing in your spirit will cause you to hate sin, to
hate the devil and his demons that are destroying mankind. No matter how much the flesh cries
for sin, you have victory over it through the blood of Jesus—if you want victory. The flesh is
brought under subjection to all the desires of Divinity, to all the commands of the Lord through the
power in the blood of Jesus.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it (Matthew
7:13,14). This tells you that man must be free from sin, for no sin can enter heaven. If sin could
enter heaven, the gate would not be strait.

The Glorious Church has far less members than the world church today. Why? Because strait is

Behold, the Glorious Church! - Ernest Angley Ministries http://www.ernestangley.org/read/article/behold_the_glorious_church/

the gate and narrow is the way that leads to heaven. No sin can walk that road and get through the
narrow gate.

Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven (Matthew 7:21). These are the
words of Jesus. He that doeth the will of the Father will enter heaven. To say that people can sin
and still be Children of God is saying it is the will of God for people to sin: an out-and-out untruth.
Jesus said those who do the will of the Father are the ones who will enter heaven. Comparatively
speaking, few will be saved. But if a few can make it, we all can make it. If one human being can
live free from all sin, it is possible for all to live free from all sin. Those who commit sin are not
glorious before God, not part of the Glorious Church.

The Lord said, Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I
will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and
it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock (Matthew 7:24,25). If we can't do the sayings of
Jesus, that means He brought an impossible salvation, an impossible way of life. Why would He
come to Earth, die on the cross to bring impossibilities? Why did He suffer like He did, why did He
give Himself into the hands of audacious men to be spat upon, beaten, mocked, crowned with
thorns and finally murdered? His sacrifice of divine blood that atoned for the sins of man was the
only way mankind could be redeemed. Jesus did it all because He loves fallen humanity and
wanted them to have a way of escape from the penalty of sin. Anyone who sins has fallen from
grace because in grace is no sin. If you are established upon the Rock, you won't fall. If everyone
sinned, no house would be built upon a rock.

The rains, floods, winds—the sin, the persecutions, the trials—will not defeat the Glorious Church
founded upon the Rock. When Jesus said, Upon this rock I will build my church; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18), He was not speaking of Peter as
some believe, but of Himself, the Rock Jesus. The Rock is divine. Peter was not divine until he
received the divine nature. He cursed and denied that he even knew Jesus—before that divine
nature took him over. The Church is built upon Jesus Christ. For other foundation can no
man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 3:11).

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my

Father's commandments, and abide in his love (John 15:10). Jesus was without sin, no guile
was found in His mouth, the Bible clearly tells us. The Glorious Church is abiding in His love,
living in the love of Jesus. To live in the love of Jesus is to live in the love of Divinity. The love of
Divinity has no place for sin whatsoever. Divinity and sin do not mix. Jesus said, If ye keep my

Behold, the Glorious Church! - Ernest Angley Ministries http://www.ernestangley.org/read/article/behold_the_glorious_church/

commandments—if you keep what He taught you just as He kept what the Father taught Him,
you will abide in His love. The Father did not allow His Son Jesus any excuse for sin; He did not
expect Him to sin like the first Adam. Had God expected Jesus to sin, He surely would not have
sent Him to Earth. Just one sin in the Garden of Eden cost man and woman everything. Had Jesus
committed one sin, the world would still be lost.

We are to be like Jesus, keeping all that He taught; and then we can use all that He brought. Jesus
is the Christ of the Glorious Church, the Lamb of Calvary. The Glorious Church does not doubt
Him. She believes everything He said, everything He promised. Clothed in His righteousness, she
abides in His love at all times.

When you abide in His love, there is no place for hate or jealousy. Of course there are some church
members who display jealousy, arrogance; but they are not members of the Glorious Church.
Deceived, others excuse their transgressions by comparing themselves favorably to religious people
who are not really in the body of Christ. Compare yourself to no one but Jesus; He is the only
standard with the true tears of Calvary.

The Glorious Church—each member—is in total obedience to the Lord at this very hour. If you are
not in total obedience, separated from all the world, from everything ungodly, then you are not a
member of the Glorious Church. You have blemishes, wrinkles—and beyond that, if you are
committing just one sin, you are unholy. God is not going to change His Bible to call sin holy. In
great dedication, the Glorious Church is obeying Jesus the way the disciples obeyed Him after the
resurrection.

In the twenty-first chapter of John we read that the disciples had fished all the night long but
caught nothing. Then in the morning Jesus stood on the shore, calling out to them, Cast the net
on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were
not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes (John 21:6). As the disciples did exactly what
Jesus instructed, the Glorious Church will do exactly whatever the Lord says, no matter how
discouraged they might be, no matter how long they have toiled. Come and dine, Jesus invited in
verse 12. The disciples didn't argue; they dined.

You may have worked the night through without results; perhaps it seems as though the sun will
never shine again. But as a member of the Glorious Church you will hear the voice of the Lord
coming to you out of the darkness, and you will respond to it because you abide in His love. When
He tells you to cast the net on the right side, you obey; for you are bone of His bone, flesh of His
flesh, life of His life, blood of His blood. Divine, obedient blood flows in you now as a Child of the
Living God, as a member of the Glorious Church.

Divine blood covers the whole Earth. It's for all nations, plenty to wash every man, woman, girl and
boy on planet Earth this very moment. There is no scarcity of the blood. People don't realize what
was being shed on Calvary that dark day.

The Bride is not rebellious against her Groom; she has yielded to everything He taught and
brought. She is glorious. No more sin, she is like Him, obedient to the instruction: Ye should
follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth (I Peter 2:21,22).
The Glorious Church with the priceless tears of Calvary is following the steps of Jesus. Just like her
Master, she is free from sin. The Glorious Church is holy, pure, ready to be used by the Father as
the Father used the Son when He was here on Earth.

When the Glorious Church cries the tears of Calvary, the footprints of Jesus appear before the eyes
of the heathen, and they see Him as the living Christ who came to planet Earth. They see His walk
in the Glorious Church, His life; and through that Church they feel His great love.

In John 21:19, Jesus had two words for His disciples: Follow me. How could you follow Jesus
and not be like Him? Your feet will never fit in the footprints of Jesus unless your steps are holy.

Jesus took holy steps the length any partaker of His divine nature can take, those having Divinity
within. His divine nature keeps men, women, boys and girls in step with Him.

Walk in His steps. No matter what the devil might do, no matter how many people he fills with
doubt who come against us, no matter the false doctrines in the land: none of it could ever cover up
the footprints of Jesus. Whosoever-will can walk in His steps through the flood of Calvary's blood.

The Glorious Church is following Jesus in His love, His faith, peace, goodness, longsuffering,
gentleness, humility. They are following Him in the same self-control that Jesus displayed here on
Earth. The Glorious Church carries the message of repentance that Jesus preached, of the
sanctification He prayed to be in the disciples.

The Glorious Church—baptized in the Holy Ghost that Jesus asked the Father to send—is filled and
thrilled with the greatness of heaven just like the Master was.

Jesus brought a part of heaven with Him when He came, a part of heaven. Daily as He reached to
the Father He was handed more of heaven. He had knowledge from the Father, knowledge of the
will of the Father. Jesus as a man used no more power to reach all the way to the throne of God
and receive from Him than is available for us to use.

The Early Church disciples found that they had the same reach as Jesus had. They learned they
could pull down heaven upon people, upon the sick and afflicted, and they were healed; they
pulled down heaven for the devil possessed, and they were set free. We, too, can reach all the way
to the throne because we reach in the name of Jesus. God's blessings at times may seem far away;
but remember, we can reach whatever is needed through the name Jesus because we are partakers
of Divinity.

Although we have that same reach, we must be aware of what we have. Don't look at human hands;
look beyond and see Divinity. We can call heaven anytime, the number is J-E-S-U-S. The Glorious
Church has received power just like the Jesus received power, the same power.

In Acts 1:9 we find Jesus rising from the Earth, being translated into heaven. And the Glorious
Church who has received the Holy Ghost is gong to be translated. From the power of the Holy
Ghost, the Glorious Church gains her greatness. Oh glory be to God! We're separated from the
world, free of all sin, getting ready to take our flight just like Jesus prepared to take His flight. The
Glorious Church is standing up with the message of Jesus for the whole world, and souls are
coming in by the thousands. Signs and wonders appear. The Glorious Church is fasting just like
Jesus, praying like He did; and her prayers are going through to heaven just like His because she
prays in His name. Like Jesus, the Glorious Church can say, Father, you always hear me. Just
as the Father always heard Jesus when He was here on Earth, He always hears the Glorious
Church. She is just like Him; He made her that way.

The Glorious Church is a sinless, fasting, praying, Word of God Church—a New Testament Church.
Blood-washed, blood-bought and filled with heaven's power and glory is the Glorious Church. The
Word is in her mind, in her soul, her body, paramount to her. She lives for the Word, and she
would die for it if necessary. The Word is her life. She breathes through it, lives through it,
receives health and strength through it; all of her needs are supplied. The Glorious Church has all
the power necessary to trample devils under foot through the Word, the Word, thus saith the Lord!
She doesn't cry Thus saith man; she cries what Thus saith the Lord. Oh blessed be the name of the
Lord!

The Glorious Church speaks His name, and hell trembles just like it trembled when the Lord was
here. It's spoken in the same power, the same love—His; the same faith—His; the same grace, the
same favor, the same righteousness, holiness, and purity. We don't have to worry about results.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we
are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come, Nor Height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:35,
37-39). We're more than conquerors—Jesus was, and He made us the same. To be more than a
conqueror means you conquer all the devils that come your way and have plenty of power left.
Jesus had more than enough power to conquer all the devils that came His way, and He gave us
that same power.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27), Jesus tells us. The
Glorious Church is going forth in shining armor, clothed in the greatness He wore. Jesus brought
to Earth what was needed for human beings. Jesus came on a mission to help mankind, to save,
deliver and heal. He remained here long enough to demonstrate the fact that His power would
work for those who trusted Him

Peter seeing Jesus walking the waters said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the
water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked
on the water, to go to Jesus (Matthew 14:28,29). Peter walked the waters, and when he began
to sink it wasn't the Lord's fault. Peter didn't keep his eyes on Jesus, didn't keep His voice inside.
Doubt gave the devil a chance.

The Glorious Church must not give the devil a chance to drown out the voice of the Master. If His
voice becomes faint, another voice can influence you—the wrong voice. When Peter believed the
voice of Jesus, he had faith to walk on the water; when doubt entered, he sank.

We can walk the spiritual waters of this hour, the waters of life. Get off the boat and start walking.
Just as Jesus cried for the Father, we cry for Jesus. We're as close to heaven as Jesus when He was
here on Earth. He made that connection for us.

If you're a member of the Glorious Church, the grumbling, the complaining is gone, all the unholy
living. Your eyes are bright and shining like His. You have victory over the world through Jesus.
The Glorious Church cherishes all of His teachings, knowing that every one of them will work. So
many church members believe only a portion of the Word of God. Some can't get past the book of
Genesis without a doubting spirit, stumbling over, for instance, how the animals got into the ark.
God said they entered the ark two by two, and that's enough for me. Over a year later, they came
back out. Instead of doubting the Word of God, we should be thinking how we can get human
beings into the ark of Jesus in this last and final hour.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I
have said unto you (John 14:26). We have great things brought to our remembrance: The nine
fruits of the Spirit, the nine gifts of the Spirit working in the body of the Glorious Church are
wonders indeed! The Glorious Church is a peculiar treasure to God, peculiar to the world; the
divine breath of the Almighty rests upon her. The divine life of the Almighty is within her. Oh
praise the name of the Lord!.

The Bride, the Glorious Church, appearing in the most unusual places in Old Testament types and
shadows should tell you that she is greatly loved by God, that He will never leave nor forsake her.
She is going through much persecution, heartache and despair; the Lord said it would be like this:
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world (John 16:33). Jesus will deliver you out of tribulation. Carry His bright shining promises
with you just as the Christ of God carried God's promises with Him.

A type and shadow of the Church shows up in three people fleeing the destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah. A fourth one started with them, but had to be left behind, for she loved the things of the
world more than the deliverance of God.

We see the Church again as a fair maiden going to the well to draw water; the servant of Abraham,
representing the Holy Spirit, is waiting, telling the Lord to send the right one for the groom. And
there she comes, Rebekah, the bride. The servant had put out a fleece, and that fleece was
answered.

When Rebekah went with the servant to the land of her groom's people, she left her father's house,
separated completely from her family. As soon as Isaac, the groom, saw her, he loved her. And
Jesus loves you, oh Glorious Church.

The Glorious Church has now emerged from all the types and shadows of the Old Testament.
Coming forth a living, visible Bride—Spirit-filled, Spirit-led and Spirit-fed—she is humble and lowly
like the Master Himself, yet walking in the sweet dignity, love, greatness and majesty of her
soon-coming Lord. She is humble in His presence, but she has the dignity, the majesty of Him.
Remember, she is visible; she has emerged from the types and shadows of a young maiden going to
the well, meeting the servant of Abraham. The Holy Spirit takes the truths of Christ and reveals
them to the Glorious Church.

The Glorious Church is on Earth right now, and the Holy Spirit, the Christ-revealing Guide, softly
whispers in her ear: As he is, so are we in this world (I John 4:17). Beloved, now are we
the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when
he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is (I John 3:2). The
Glorious Church is just like Jesus, I see her walking and I can't really separate her from the Master
in love, in peace, in wisdom, in knowledge. She is the apple of God's eye, so special to Him. Those
eyes that clouded with disappointment at the fall of the first man, the first woman, are now aglow
with pride.

With great anticipation God waits for the moment the Bride will come home to the heavenly Eden,
rejoicing because Satan cannot deceive her: Satan brings his deceit, but the Bride yields to the Holy
Spirit; and the Holy Spirit uncovers the devil to the Glorious Church at every turn, uncovers the
evil of him. The Bride does not linger around the tree of forbidden fruit. Why should she? She is
tuned in to heaven, the sweetness. Daily the Master is saying to her: Come and dine!

The Glorious Church is on planet Earth today. Behold her no longer in types and shadows, no
longer like a mist of the past. She is living reality. The world hates her, and heaven adores her.
One of these days she will have finished her work, and her feet will leave the ground just like Jesus'

did. Translated, the Bride will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

Get ready for God to move for you, for Him to help you. Pray this prayer with me now: Oh God, I
want to be just like Jesus. I want to speak like Him, to live like Him. I want to walk in His steps,
to follow Him all the way, pleasing Him daily. I delight in Him, and I want Him to delight in me.
I will do His will. I will help bring in the harvest because He has willed me to do it. I will carry
with me the tears of Calvary, the tears of Calvary. I will answer His call to come up higher. I will
be ready. I will be ready.

Because we have the tears of Calvary, His power will flow to us. Yes, the Glorious Church possesses
the priceless gift, the tears of Calvary. Her glory in this the final walk is bringing in the harvest.
You can be healed of any manner of sickness, any manner of disease because in the tears of Calvary
is all the healing you need.

With the tears of Calvary I come now for the unhealed. The Lord has healed many, many
multitudes by this simple act of faith: believing His promises of healing. With his stripes we are
healed (Isaiah 53:5). I am not your healer; Jesus is the healer. I am a believer that He heals. Get
ready for your healing by the hand of God.

Lord: I bring the sick and afflicted to you. Give sight to that blind one. Heal that little retarded
child today. Heal that crippled one. Make that Daddy well so he can work and bring home a
paycheck once more for his family. Oh Lord, heal all in need of healing today, whatever their
need. Heal! in the name of Jesus. And from His gift of miracles, His gifts of healing it comes: the
healing power flows, and miracles and healings take place. The Spirit of God floods lives until
there is no room for doubt and fear. If you are believing, you are receiving from the Lord.Yea, saith
the Lord: I am moving with my people with all my love, with all of my faith, with all of my
strength. I say to my people: Take my courage. Take my Word. Carry it to the ends of the Earth
and proclaim that your Lord cometh. Declare that I have sent you with my message and that I
speak the truth of my Lord. Redemption draweth nigh. "You can come to Jesus now! Come to
Jesus!" your message will be. Be not afraid to declare all of my message of salvation.

Fear not to declare my baptism in the Holy Ghost. Fear not to declare my power over all demonic
spirits and over all sicknesses and diseases. Be bold in my love. Be bold in my faith. Walk in my
truth, and use all of my promises: they're yours to use. No power will defeat you. No power will
defeat you. I am our refuge. I am your greatness. I am your strength. Behold the hands of your
God working for you. Bring in the harvest. Bring in the harvest. Bring in the harvest before it
goes to waste! saith the Lord to this His people.
