Shewing that the Spirit of God will not dwell in the heart of blood; it being the old bottles.

And it is also said in 1st Corinthians. 15th chapter, 30th verse.---" Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." Yet the new bottles will be made out of the old ones; the heart of flesh will be made out of the heart of blood; which is shewn by Jeremiah, 18th chapter, 3rd and 4th verses." Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hands of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it." So will the new heart and the new body be made out of the same lump as the old one; and God will dwell within them, being the life of them, and they will be his sons; as said in the text.

And it is written in 1st Corinthians, 9th chapter, 24th verse.---" Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain."

Man is exhorted to run, that he may obtain this prize; which is to ask for the fulness of the Spirit of God always to abide on him, which if he do, it will do the work in him, and they will be made the bones of the Bride, and inherit all things as said in the text.

It is written in Revelation, 5th chapter, 1, 3, 4, and 5th verses.---" And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

At the fulness of the times of the Gentiles, then, through him, Israel should be found worthy to look and to read therein; for the seals are loosed to him who is able to read and understand.

10th chapter, 9th verse.---" And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."

John, 6th chapter, 13th verse." Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten."

There is a little book written within and without, of that which remains over and above of the word of the Hebrews and Gentiles, of the six churches. It will be sweet to the mouth of him that eateth it, but the persecution of these churches makes it bitter to the belly.

But he that has the fulness of the Spirit that overcame death, and paid the ransom, and gained the victory, through Christ, he will do the work that is wrote in the book, which will bring forth eternal life.

It is written in Genesis, 49th chapter, 26th verse.---" The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of thy progenitors, unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was seperate from his brethren."

As Joseph was seperated from his brethren, so will Israel be seperated from the world; for the ways of the world through Satan, are at enmity

with the commands of God; but Israel will overcome, and inherit all things, as said in the text.

And it is said in Revelation, 2nd chapter, 7th verse.---"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."

And the blessings will rest on them which are promised unto Joseph, seeing they are the children of the faith of Joseph, and his father Israel; Joseph being set typical of the bride, which is the true Israel: and Judah the bridegroom, which is Christ.

Jesus says in John, 16th chapter, 24th verse.--"Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full."

Mark, 11th chapter, 24th verse.---" What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

And it is further said in James, 4th chapter, 3rd verse.---“ Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss."

And what is meant by this? He that asketh with a view of the gains of the old world, cannot inherit the new one.

But man could not ask until it was made known for what he should ask, which was not promised, but in part, till the fulness of times. The door being shut, as said in Ezekiel, 44th chapter, 2nd verse." This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.'

Christ put off the old world and entered into the new world, by taking the body of Jesus, the woman's seed, out of the Sepulchre, and becoming the life of it; the gate then was closed till times, which is declared by Jesus in Luke, 21st chapter, 24th verse..." Jerusalem shall be trodden down of

the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." And the same is declared by Daniel, 12th chapter, 7th verse.

And it is written in Ephesians, 1st chapter, 17th and 18th verses.---"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints."

Here it is shewn unto man how necessary it is for him to understand what he is to inherit, if he overcomes, as it says in the text, which is the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, which is the fulness of the Spirit to be always on him till he has obeyed the law and gospel as Jesus did.

And it is written in Amos, 3rd chapter, 7th verse.---" Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the Prophets."

It is evident from many parts of the Scriptures, that it has not been given unto man, clearly to see what this inheritance is, but in part, that is to be given unto those who overcome; for the Apostles testify in 1st Corinthians, 13th chapter, 9th and 10th verses, that they only "saw in part, and prophesied in part," and was under a veil : but when that which was perfect was come, then that which was in part should be done away. So that it is evident that man has only had it given by measure, and not the fulness, excepting the woman's seed.

Yet before this inheritance be given, it must be revealed more fully, what it is; and what man must do to obtain it; which the Lord is now doing by his Spirit.

And it is written in John, 16th chapter, 12th verse.---"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.'

But at the fulness of times, they will bear them; because the Spirit will rest on them, and shew them what is to come.

It is written in Romans, 10th chapter, 15th verse.---" And how shall they preach, except they be sent ? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."

How shall man know the riches of the glory that is promised to him, and what are the things he shall inberit if he overcome, as it says in the text, unless the Spirit of truth first come to point it out to him?

So this Spirit which is come to preach these glad tidings, is called the Comforter. which is to lead into all truth. And this is the Gospel of the Kingdom which is to be preached in all the world for a witness, before the end come; which is to make known that the time is at hand.

And it is written in Colossians, 1st chapter, 28th verse.---"Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus."

It is evident from this passage, that those that will be presented perfect in Christ Jesus, their bodies will not see corruption.

SEVENTH SERMON.

It is written in the 15th Psalm, and the 1st verse.---" Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy hill."

The full time is come, that God will cause his Spirit to rest upon those that ask, as it rested upon the body of Jesus, that every parable and
