(Singing) I know my God has made the way for me.
I know my God has made the way for me.
ANNOUNCER: The story of God's glory is woven all
throughout the Bible. Today on the Believer's Voice of
Victory, learn from Gloria Copeland and Billye
Brim where the glory of God resides and how
it's destined to manifest in these end times.
GLORIA: Hello, everybody. I'm Gloria Copeland. We're
back with more wonderful Words about the Body
of Christ, about the glorious church. Hallelujah. Billye
Brim's with us from Prayer Mountain in the Ozarks,
and she's stirring us up. So don't miss any of these
broadcasts. Tell us, Billye, what we're studying today.
BILLYE: Well, Gloria, you know, I wish everybody had been with
us last week because we talked about the glory of God and how I
came to study it. And when I studied it in depth, I came to
see that the Bible is the story of the glory. GLORIA: Yes, it
is. BILLYE: And that when He made Adam, He crowned him with
glory. And then when God came in the evening--because Adam wore
the glory. The glory of God is the presence of God. GLORIA:
Yes. BILLYE: He wore it as a crown. He wore it as his
clothing. But then when Satan tempted him, he fell from the
glory. Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of
the glory." And then when God came walking in the garden, He
said, "Where are you, Adam?" He knew where he was. He said,
"I--we--I hid myself. We hid ourselves." GLORIA: It didn't
work. BILLYE: No. "Who told you, you were naked?" Well, they
weren't naked before. They wore glory. GLORIA: Yeah. BILLYE: But
since man fell from the glory-- GLORIA: Their garment, they lost
their garment. BILLYE: --they can no longer abide God. He can
no longer stand God. God's presence is too much for him.
GLORIA: That's right. BILLYE: So God really had to separate
Himself from His children. And He was separated for more than
2,000 years. And then the glory reappeared, the presence of God.
Moses was out there and he saw that burning bush. And then He
brought the children of Israel out of Egypt under Moses. And He
said, "Now, bring them out here to this mountain. I want to meet
with them." This is as close as He's gotten, because earth's
under a curse. So He cleans him off the top of that mountain.
And I mean fire and lightning spews. And He said, "Now, you
children of Israel, you stand back. Don't come up here close,
you could get hurt." And so then Moses goes up into the cloud. He
gives him the written Word. Thank God. I'd hate to live--
GLORIA: Oh, my-- BILLYE: --before you had the written
Word. GLORIA: --goodness. BILLYE: But then He says to
Moses, first thing, Exodus 25, "Have them bring me an offering.
And what I want to do with the offering is I want to make a
place where I can meet with them. I want to dwell among
them." And it's called the Ohel Moed. It's the Tent of Meeting.
And so Moses--he was told exactly how to do that
tabernacle. He was--he saw the pattern of it, and he did it.
And so we come to this wonderful line, Exodus 40:33, "So Moses
finished the work." Then, when the work was finished-- GLORIA:
Yeah, when it was finished. BILLYE: -- "A cloud covered the
tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the
tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the tent of
meeting, because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of
the Lord filled the tabernacle." GLORIA: Praise God. BILLYE:
Presence of God. GLORIA: Yes, amen. BILLYE: Now, they moved
then from the tabernacle--they have that tabernacle. It's in
Shiloh for 369 years. But then God has always told them there's
a place for it to be that He's going to put His name. And they
discover--David discovers that place, and it is the Temple
Mount. Today, we know it as the Temple Mount, Mount Moriah. Now,
because we are right smack dab in the middle of the Feast of
Tabernacles, and that's when this happened--sukkot, as it's
called, in--by the Hebrews. I'm going to read what happened
exactly this time of year, exactly this week. GLORIA: Hmm.
BILLYE: So now they're going to move the glory. They're going to
move this ark of the presence, it's called "ark of the
presence." And the Shekinah glory was seen over it, you
know, all the time. They're going to move it into the
temple. And so I'm going to read this and-- GLORIA: Carefully,
very carefully. BILLYE: Very carefully. They've learned their
lessons. II Corinthians--Chronn niccleess, excuse me.
II Chronicles 5:1, "Thus all the work that Solomon did for
the house of the Lord was finished." You have to get to
that line, that the house is finished. GLORIA: Yes, amen.
BILLYE: II Chronicles 5:11, "And it came to pass, when the
priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests
that were present were sanctified, and did not then
wait by course." 4,000 of them. "Also, the Levites the singers,
all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and
their brethren, arrayed in white linen, and having cymbals and
psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and
with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with shofars:)
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as
one, to make--" GLORIA: Wouldn't it be wonderful, there? BILLYE:
"--one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord;
and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and
cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord,
saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth forever." GLORIA:
Yes. Yes, His mercy endures forever. BILLYE: "For he is
good," they did it over and over, "his mercy endureth
forever," antiphonally. "Then the house was filled with a
cloud--" GLORIA: Praise God. BILLYE: "--even the house of the
Lord; so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason
of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of
God." GLORIA: Praise You, Jesus. The glory filled the house. Oh,
man, what a day. BILLYE: Now, here we are, come down to the
New Covenant, come down to the letters that tell us about the
Church, and here we see, in Hebrews 3:6, "But Christ is a
son over his own house." GLORIA: Oh. BILLYE: "The anointed one is
a son over his own house; whose house we are." GLORIA: Glory to
God. BILLYE: So now there's another house for the glory.
This one isn't-- GLORIA: That's right. BILLYE: --in a
tabernacle. This one isn't in a fixed location of a tent. This
house can walk around. GLORIA: And talk. BILLYE: And talk.
GLORIA: And preach. BILLYE: And preach. GLORIA: Hallelujah.
BILLYE: And this house is made up of new creations. GLORIA:
Yeah. BILLYE: And we are told in the Word of God, I Corinthians
3:16, we are told that we are a house. And I'm going to turn
there. I have part of it down here, but, Gloria, I'm going to
turn back in--to read it out of my Word here. I Corinthians
3:16--actually--yeah, I Corinthians. GLORIA: Yes.
BILLYE: I Corinthians 3:16, "Know you not that you are the
temple of God?" GLORIA: Don't you know? BILLYE: Don't you know
that? GLORIA: Mm-hmm. BILLYE: "And that the Spirit of God
dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God
destroy; for the temple of God is holy--" GLORIA: Yes, amen.
BILLYE: "--which temple you are." GLORIA: Praise You, Jesus.
BILLYE: Sometimes I think this is lost on Westerners. GLORIA:
Yes, I agree. BILLYE: They don't really realize the holiness of a
temple. What is "holiness"? It means set apart. Here we have
strawberries. So if I take this strawberry and set it over here,
I cut it out from those other strawberries. And let's say
we're going to give this one to Ken, Ken Copeland. So this is
cut out and set apart for Ken. The temple of God is holy. We
are the Church. We are taken out of every tongue, every tribe,
and we are separated into an ecclesia-- GLORIA: Yeah. BILLYE:
--an assembly, and we're separate. You're supposed to be
separate. You're not supposed to be in bed with the world. You're
supposed to be knowing, "God lives in me." I'm the temple of
God. The Spirit of God lives in me. Look at the next time that
Paul talks about this, I Corinthians 6. And he's going to
talk about some sin that's come about. We'll start with Verse
15, "Know you not that your bodies are the members of
Christ," the Anointed One? Remember what Ephesians says?
You're bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh. GLORIA: That's
right. That's right. BILLYE: "Know you not that your bodies
are members of the Anointed One? shall I take the members of
Christ, and make them members of a harlot?" You know, he's
talking about, like, sexual sin. "God forbid." Oh, brother. I
just heard of another preacher who's been into some stuff for
years and years that has to do with pornography. Don't you know
that when you're sitting there, if you're really born again, in
front of that television and that computer where you drew it
up, that pornography, the Holy Ghost is in you? GLORIA: That's
right. BILLYE: Paul would say, "What's the matter with you?
Don't you know you're a temple?" I'm telling you, you bring the
wrong things into the temple, you bring the wrong thing into
the Holy of Holies, in the Old Testament, you're dead. So what
happens to you in the new? No power, no glory. He cannot rise
up in you degree by degree. You might still be born again, these
things in your flesh. But you're not going to have the glory and
you're not going to have the power. GLORIA: You're not going
to have the blessing. BILLYE: You're not going to have the
blessing. You can't. God can't bless it. "Know you not that
your bodies are the members of the Anointed One? shall I then
take the members of the Anointed One, and make them the members
of a harlot? God forbid. What?" That's what Paul says, "What?
know you not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?
for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. He that is joined to the
Lord is one spirit." GLORIA: Yes. BILLYE: "Flee fornication."
That's sexual sin. My daughter, Shelli, always says, "It's hard
to fornicate when you're fleeing." "Flee fornication."
GLORIA: Run, run, run. BILLYE: Run. "Every sin that a man doeth
is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against
his own body." Now, what's so wrong with this? Here you get
another "What?" from Paul. "What? know you not that your
body is the temple of the Holy Ghost--" GLORIA: Oh, Jesus. Yes,
Lord. BILLYE: "--which is in you, which you have not of God,
you are not your own?" You don't belong to you. GLORIA: That's
right. BILLYE: You are bought with a price. What is that price
that you're bought with? GLORIA: The blood. BILLYE: The blood,
the blood of Jesus on that cross. You're not your own.
"You're bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your
body, and in your spirit, which are God's." You know-- GLORIA:
That's our responsibility. BILLYE: That's our
responsibility. GLORIA: It's our job. BILLYE: It's your job,
Gloria. And you do a good job of it. GLORIA: Praise God. BILLYE:
You do and Ken does. GLORIA: Well, you have to work at it
because it doesn't come naturally. BILLYE: Yeah. GLORIA:
You're turned the other way. But if you--if you follow God and
you listen to Him, you put His eyes--your eyes on His Word, get
it down in your ears, get it down in your heart and set
yourself to do what it says, it works. BILLYE: It works. GLORIA:
It works. BILLYE: And He changes you then-- GLORIA: It changes
you. BILLYE: --from one degree of glory-- GLORIA: Yes, amen.
BILLYE: --to the next-- GLORIA: Yes, amen. BILLYE: --so that you
can have more of God manifest in your temple. GLORIA: That's
right. We grow. We keep growing. BILLYE: And that's what the
world-- GLORIA: If we do it right, we keep growing. BILLYE:
It's written. And the world is looking to see God in men.
GLORIA: That's their greatest need. BILLYE: That's their
greatest need. GLORIA: That's right. BILLYE: They need to see
a glorious Church. They need to see a Church manifesting God.
GLORIA: Yeah, that's right. BILLYE: Bless the Lord. GLORIA:
Praise God. BILLYE: Hallelujah. Now we go to I Corinthians 6,
and we're--no. Now we're going to go to II Corinthians 6.
GLORIA: Okay. BILLYE: These are all kind of in, you know, an
easy order to remember. I Corinthians 3, I Corinthians 6,
II Corinthians 6. So here he's talking about it again and he
says, in Verse 4, "Be ye not--" or is that 14? 14, Verse 14, "Be
ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what
fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness?" And that
word, "fellowship," means working together as partners,
partakers. So, "What fellowship has righteousness with
unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness? What
concord hath" the Anointed One--"Christ with Belial? What
part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement
hath the temple of God with idols?" Bless it. GLORIA: What
in common do we have with idols? BILLYE: Yeah. Absolutely.
GLORIA: Nothing. BILLYE: Nothing. GLORIA: That's right.
BILLYE: "As God has said," in Verse 16, "What agreement hath
the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the
living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in
them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
GLORIA: Amen. BILLYE: So He calls the believer
righteousness. He calls them light. He calls them Christ, the
Anointed One. He calls them the temple of God. And he says that
they have no agreement with idols. And He says, "You are the
temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them."
Remember God told Moses, "You tell those people I want to
dwell with them"? GLORIA: Yeah. BILLYE: But He got to make a
little tent out there because they're not ready. They haven't
had the blood of Jesus shed for them. GLORIA: That's right.
BILLYE: And so they make a tent, and that Shekinah glory is over
that tent. But now the blood has been shed and God who loves you
so much-- GLORIA: Thank You, Father. BILLYE: --comes to live
inside you-- GLORIA: Praise God. BILLYE: --and changes you from
glory to glory. GLORIA: Praise God. BILLYE: "I will dwell in
them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people." John G. Lake's daughter was a friend of
mine. And John G. Lake was in Africa when the bubonic plague
came. And the people were afraid to bury the dead because they
were afraid they'd get it. So he had a ministry, he and this
black native pastor that worked with him. They would, every day,
bury the dead. One day, they put 30 people in a mass grave. He
told her that they would go into a home and they would take this
one dead child lying next to his sibling who was sick. They'd
take that child out and bury it and come back the next day and
the other child would be sick--dead. GLORIA: Dear Jesus.
BILLYE: And so the British hospital ships came and they
said, you know, "We've got preventatives for this." He
said, "I don't need them." They said, "What?" He said, "No." He
said, "These people are dying of a bloody froth at the mouth.
Just take some of that, put it under your--examine it under the
microscope." They did. This germ activity was just working,
alive. He said, "Now, take--no, take it from their mouth and put
it under the microscope." They did and the germ activity was
working, alive. Now he said, "Take some of that bloody froth
and put it in my hand and examine it under the
microscope." They did. All that germ activity had ceased. They
jumped back, "What is that?" "That, sirs--" GLORIA: Greater.
BILLYE: "--is the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that has made me
free from the law of sin and death." GLORIA: Praise God.
BILLYE: That is the law of the Spirit of life, law in Christ
Jesus-- GLORIA: The law. BILLYE: --that has made me free from the
law of sin and death. GLORIA: Yes, amen. BILLYE: Lake had all
kinds of miracles which you well know because you got that book
put into print. GLORIA: Yeah. BILLYE: But she told me, that
very morning, her father got up, dressed himself up, cleaned up,
had a full length of mirror--he looked in it, he see that--he
said, "You see that suit of clothes? You see that man in
that suit of clothes? God lives in that man in that suit of
clothes. Everywhere that suit of clothes goes, God goes." So he
was conscious that everywhere he went-- GLORIA: He was reminding
himself that-- BILLYE: Yeah, every day. GLORIA: -- "The
greater One lives in me." BILLYE: Exactly. GLORIA:
"Wherever I go today," he's thinking in his being, "the
greater One's in me, the greater One." BILLYE: Absolutely.
GLORIA: We need to be more aware, if we're born again and
filled with the Holy Spirit, that the greater One is in us.
BILLYE: And we're His temple. GLORIA: What does that mean?
"Greater" means that anything you run into, He's greater.
BILLYE: Yes. GLORIA: Glory to God. BILLYE: The greater One--
GLORIA: The great One. BILLYE: --you are the temple-- GLORIA:
Yeah. BILLYE: --that He lives in. But it's not a temple that's
just on a hill. He said, "I will--" GLORIA: That's right.
BILLYE: "--dwell in them, I will walk in--" GLORIA: Yes, there it
is. BILLYE: "--them; I will be their God, and be my people."
Based on that verse, he said, "Wherever this suit of clothes
goes, God goes." That's why he knew he could walk in where the
bubonic plague was and he wouldn't be dead. GLORIA: Did
you read 19? "What? know you not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, you're
not your own? You are bought with a price: therefore glorify
God in your body." That's our responsibility now-- BILLYE:
That's right. GLORIA: --to glorify God in our body. Because
these things are true, they've been done. We've been born
again. We've been filled with the Holy Spirit. BILLYE: You
have to keep conscious that--of that. Brother Hagin called it
"being God-inside minded." GLORIA: Yes, I remember that.
Yes, he did. BILLYE: Being God-inside minded. You have to
be conscious of the fact, "I'm a temple of God." Why don't you do
certain things? The Holy Ghost is in me. GLORIA: Mm-hmm, yeah.
BILLYE: I don't want to take the Holy Ghost and set Him down in
front of an X-rated movie. GLORIA: No. Hmm-mm. BILLYE: Now,
He's in there and He's not going to leave you. But He is what the
Bible calls "grieved." GLORIA: Yes, that's right. BILLYE: And
so He'll take--you know, He's grieved by your actions if you
don't walk in love. And what does it mean, "grieved"? It
means that He subsides. He's not in there in the greatest--
GLORIA: That's a good way to say it. BILLYE: --and highest
degree. GLORIA: That's right. BILLYE: He's in there and He
wants you and He loves you, and He wants you to manifest Him. He
wants it so that when you lay hands on the sick, they recover.
GLORIA: That's right. Power. BILLYE: His power, He wants you
to display that power. And His power's called the glory. The
glory of God was in the Old Testament tabernacle, in the Old
Testament temple. And the glory of God is in the glorious
Church. GLORIA: That's right. BILLYE: So when you become born
again, He becomes Christ in you, the hope of glory. What does
"hope" mean? It means, "I don't have it all yet." GLORIA: That's
why believers can lay hands on the sick-- BILLYE: Sure. GLORIA:
--and they'll recover. BILLYE: That's exactly right. You
couldn't do it in your own strength. GLORIA: No, hmm-mm.
BILLYE: It's not anything just you as a person. But it's
because you are the temple of God. GLORIA: That's right.
BILLYE: And then as you read the Word, like the plan says, and
you're looking for the glory of God in there, the presence of
God in all the Scriptures-- GLORIA: Praise God. BILLYE:
--then the Holy Ghost is working on you. Now, the Holy Ghost,
Ephesians 2 says, Verse 19, "Now you are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the
household of God; you are built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the
cornerstone; in whom all the building of God fitly framed
together--" GLORIA: Praise God. BILLYE: "--grows unto an holy
temple." GLORIA: Yes, amen. BILLYE: So we are the temple.
And we're all building together. GLORIA: We're not on the outside
anymore. BILLYE: No. GLORIA: Glory to God. BILLYE: And
we--He's in us individually, but then He's in the whole temple.
GLORIA: That's right. BILLYE: He's in all the temple. The Body
congregate. The Holy Spirit is in there to manifest Himself at
your church. When you meet together, you assemble together,
don't forget the assembling of yourselves together. GLORIA:
That's right. BILLYE: So then there--it should be, Gloria--and
it's going to be in the glorious Church, that when somebody walks
in the back door, if they don't have an arm, it's going to grow
on. If they don't have a leg, it's going to grow on. GLORIA: I
can't wait. Oh, yes, I receive that. BILLYE: Hallelujah. And
the glory, the very glory of God on your face is--people are
going to follow you to church to the church assembled because we
are to be a powerful-- GLORIA: Praise God. BILLYE:
--glorious Church. GLORIA: And it's going to be that
way. BILLYE: It's going to be. It's written. GLORIA:
Glory to God. Amen. Billye and I'll be right back.
