Let somebody try to put you off the land, say he belongs, and you with the abstract in your hand. Let him try to do it. There ain't a law in the land can do it, because you hold the abstract. And there's no devil, no church, or any theology, that can overstep the boundaries of God's proof and abstract, that the baptism of the Holy Ghost has recognized us in Jesus Christ. We're just as sure to raise as He raised, because potentially we have already raised in Him. Amen. The old things. What does it do to our mortal bodies? It turns our opinion, changes our notions. It sets our affections on things which are Above. And the smoking, drinking, gambling, the things that you used to do, is dead. It's beneath you. And you are quickened. And this quickening power brings your body into a raptured condition, already. ~ 65-0410  THE EASTER SEAL

When you have the abstract, your origin is sure. You know where you came from. If you know where you came from you know where you are going. What is in-between is time. Faith is a revelation of eternity. When that grabs you what difference does time mean? It is not an excuse to sin. It is a freedom from sin. It is the result of redemption.
