The Divine salvation includes much more than what ordinarily is presented to the believer. It is time now for us to press forward to the fullness. The cloud and the fire are moving forward. Moses and the priests of the Lord are marching at the head of the army. The praisers (Judah) are ascribing majesty and glory to the Lord. The Ark of the Covenant, God's eternal moral law, is in the center of the line of march. This is no time to camp at Pentecost (Mount Sinai).

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:19)

In order for us to be filled with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit we first must be strengthened in the inner man. To be strengthened in the inner man is to have Christ formed in us. Christ is formed in us as we learn to live by the body and blood of the Lord, continually looking to Him for Life as we are brought down to the death of the cross. We must come to know the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.

When Christ has been formed in us, as we keep the words of Christ, then the Father and the Son will come and make Their abode with us in the spiritual fulfillment of the Old Testament feast of Tabernacles.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20,21)

The One who is able to bring us to the fullness of redemption is God the Father. His power and wisdom are so much higher than anything we can imagine in the present hour that all we can do is ascribe glory to Him. He is able to do all we have mentioned in this booklet. He shall perform the work completely and perfectly in every individual who will believe.

He shall perform the work of salvation completely and perfectly in you if you will permit the Lord to have all of your life. The only limit on what you can become will be placed by you yourself. You can keep on growing as long as you will allow the Lord to keep on pruning you. Of the increase of His government and of peace in you there will be no end.

Conclusion

Thus there are two gifts and a task. There is the gift of the atoning blood. Then there is the gift of the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him. The initial aspects of these two gifts can be experienced in one evening. On the same evening we can receive the Lord Jesus, repent of our sins, be baptized in water, be healed of all our diseases, speak in tongues, and prophesy.

Now we have the authority and power to enter the third work of grace, that is, to build the eternal House of God in our own personality and then in the personality of others as the Lord leads. This effort is the experience of a lifetime, not of one evening.

Believers who have had visions of the spirit realm have informed us that the present world is a preparation for the next; that we begin in the next life where we leave off in the present life. Experience with the Lord and logic suggest this is true. What we are, we are, and there will be no strange and marvelous changes in our personality because we have died physically. Death is an enemy, not our redeemer.

To be continued.
