COLOSSIANS 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. COLOSSIANS 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
GALATIANS 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
ISAIAH 32:2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
“Oh, aren't you glad you're hid? Oh, a hiding place! The Bible said, "For you must reckon yourself dead and your life in Christ, hid in Christ and sealed away by the Holy Ghost." The Devil couldn't find you if he had to. He just couldn't do it, you see. You're
hid in Christ!
Reckon yourself dead! And your lives are hid in Christ, hid in god through Christ, and sealed by the Holy Ghost.”
[60-1211M The Ten Virgins And The Hundred And Forty Four Thousand Jews, Jeffersonville IN], [Colossians 3:3]
"My burdens are light." Yoke up with Him, the yoke is all padded with Hallelujahs.
When you're once inside the veil with Him, He becomes your life. The prophet said that in... The people of the old days said I... That He would write His laws anew. He would put them in their heart. Now, Mount Sinai was a place of duty.
But Mount Calvary was a place of grace. People are still trying to live on Mount Sinai. "If I'll go to church, if I'll pay my dues, if I'll do this or do that, if I'll quit this and stop that." That's still on Mount Sinai.
When you come to a place where you are dead, and your life is hid in god through Christ, sealed by the Holy Ghost, the whole Christian life becomes a great glorious shout and a hallelujah to you. And you're hid away daily. Now, we notice that once in there, he was isolated from the world.
The curtains dropped around him and he was hid away with God. Everything become real, a glory. In this place where we once get hid away with Christ, everything becomes a new thing to us then.”
[55-1110 A Hidden Life In Christ, San Fernando CA], [Colossians 3:3],
[Ephesians 4:30]
“But that's the reason the Holy Spirit is such a--a--a definite must in this day, because It is the One that lives your life. You don't live it yourself. It's Christ in you, then, after you have received the Holy Spirit. And, and if He doesn't have the preeminences in your life, then you just remember, you haven't received the Holy Spirit. Cause, if He is in you, He'll live His Own Life. You're no more your own. "You are dead, and your life is
hid in god, through Christ, and sealed by the Holy Ghost." So there is no way at all for you to be yourself no more, what you were.”
[63-0803E Influence, Chicago IL], [Ephesians 1:13],
[Colossians 3:3]
“Now, I feel religious. Why?
We are dead. And our lives is hid in god through Christ and sealed by the Holy Ghost. I look back and see where I once was. That William Branham died thirty-two years ago.
And now we are a new creation in Christ, already raised with Him and setting with Him now in heavenly places, with the authority of His promised Word, that every devil shall be subject to us, and nothing shall in wise...?... "And in My Name they shall cast out devils, and speak with new tongues, take up serpents, drink deadly things, lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." That's His promise.
Here's a confirmation of His promise. Oh, let us confess our weakness, and God give us strength and faith in the very living Presence of Jesus Christ here tonight, the Son of God.”
[62-0621E Confirmation And Evidence, South Gate CA], [II Corinthians 5:17],
[Ephesians 2:6],
[Mark 16:16-18]
“And if the Life of Jesus Christ lives in the person, they become identified with Him. It's Christ in you. Not a church member, not a system, but a resurrected Power.
It's the Holy Ghost, is a Token upon you, that your life says "amen" to every Scripture. The promise is written in there. And you are not yourself no more. You are Christ's.
You don't think your thoughts. You don't think your thoughts, you say, "I think." You have no thought coming. The Life that was in Christ is in you. The mind that was in Christ is in you. The works that was
in Christ is in you, and
Christ Himself is in you.
You are dead; your life is hid in god through Christ, sealed in there by the Holy Ghost. You're not your own.”
[63-1128E The Token, Shreveport LA], [Colossians 3:3]
“You say, "He makes our bodies obey? Oh, I believe we have jurisdiction over that." Then you're--you're not fully surrendered. 1For, you're not your own; you are dead. "
You yourself are dead, and your life is hid in god through Christ, and sealed by the Holy Ghost." How are you going to get away from that? I think we need a revival. "Our lives are dead."
We are dead; your own thoughts. You think pure thoughts. Them old worldly thoughts that leads you off, you're dead to that. "And your life is hid in god through Christ, and sealed by the Holy Spirit." What a position! What a secure! Oh, my! How long, till the next revival? "Until the day of your redemption." Ephesians 4:30, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the day of your redemption." What a secure feeling, knowing and watching the Holy Spirit change your nature from a vile person. Amen. Then we know we've passed from death unto Life, we see the Holy Spirit living in us, His Life. Paul said, "
The life that I once lived, I live no more. Oh, not me, but the Christ that lives in me!" That's it, he had passed from death unto Life, and Christ was alive in him. Safely secured!
Christ was the One guiding the ship; Paul just had to sit still and obey Him.”
[63-0804E Calling Jesus On The Scene, Chicago IL], [Ephesians 1:13],
[Colossians 3:3],
[Ephesians 4:30]
“You're sealed in there, you're beneath the Blood. You don't go out no more. And then what are you? God's son in God's family, sealed in by the Holy Spirit.
The Devil couldn't get you if he had to; for you are dead, your old husband part is dead; and you are buried, and your life is hid in god through Christ, and sealed by the Holy Ghost. How's he going to get you? How you going to get out? You're there! Glory! Now I'll leave that alone; just enough so you'll know what I'm talking about.”
[65-1128M God's Only Provided Place Of Worship, Shreveport LA], [Colossians 3:3],
[Ephesians 4:30]
