THE.SECOND.SEAL 135 So now, today when we look over our denominational churches: They (Pentecostals) had Truth and rejected it. They got lukewarm with it, and God spued them from His mouth. That's exactly according to the Scriptures. You can't make them Scriptures lie. They're going to be truthful always. The only thing, don't try to line Scriptures up to your thought, but line yourself up with the Scriptures. Then you're running with God. No matter how much you have to cut away or lay aside, line up with that. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 63-0319 5

ISAIAH 45:1-22 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 6

ISAIAH 45:21-22 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 7

3 Types of Control: 1. God is in Control of Everything ISAIAH 14:24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 2/10/2021 2. Self Control 3. Unhealthy Control Step Into the Waters 3 8

Good Control: POWER.OF.TRANSFORMATION 73 All this great thing He knowed would come to pass, after He spoke it, He could take a rest. Everything under control! His seed was His Word, and His Word is a seed. Everything would be all right, because He had said for it to bring forth of its kind, transforming only to its kind. His Word had to be of Its kind. If He said a "palm" tree, He didn't mean a palm and oak mixed together. He meant a palm tree here, and an oak tree here, everything positionally in its place. Oh, if we could only learn that, that what part of the Word we are, we must take our place, no matter what it is. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 65-1031 9

JOHN 8:34-36 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 10

THIRST 29 Now we find, God gives a control tower to you, to give to you the things that you need. There is a control tower in the body, that tells you the need that's needed in your body, and it's brought to you by thirst. Also, there is a control tower in your soul, tells you the spiritual things that you have need of, something in your spirit, and by this can tell what kind of a life is controlling you. 30 When you can see what your desires are, then you can tell what's creating this desire that you have. See, there is a certain thing that you thirst for, and it can tell you in your soul what this desire is, by the nature of the thirst that you have. I hope that you can understand that. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 65-0919 12

Self Control: GALATIANS 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 13

TESTIMONY 45 And now while we're here together, and all of us longing the same thing, make us true stewards. May we shape our lives by self control, that we'll know by the help of the Holy Spirit to have a full confidence that Jesus will say, "Well done, My good and faithful servant." at that day. 2/10/2021 51-0509 Step Into the Waters 3 14

Temperance: (Gr.) sophroneo To be of sound mind, to be in one's right mind. To exercise self control; to put a moderate estimate upon one's self, think of one s self soberly; to curb one's passions. 2/10/2021 MARK 5:15 Dfghv And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

THE.ANGEL.AND.THE.COMMISSION 10 But Moses went down there and smote the Rock. He got anger.... He lost control of himself. He got all worked up, and excited, because of the people... And he just smote the rock again And we know that he was a prophet sent from God. And God had entrusted him with that power 11 We know it wasn't God's will. We'll admit that. But Moses had power to bring it whether it was God's will or not. We know it was against God's will. But God had entrusted His servant with that power. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 50-0821 18

GOD.TESTIFYING.OF.HIS.GIFTS 34 The person that's dreaming is not sound asleep. But you people here who does not dream dreams, your subconscious will be back to a place where you do not reach to it in sleep. You can't help that. You were born that way. Something that has the rulership over you, made you that way; you can't help it. And you people who dream dreams, you can't help that. You don't have no control of it; it's your subconscious. 2/10/2021 52-0713 Step Into the Waters 3 19

PROVERBS 25:26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. 27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. 28 He that hath no rule [restraint] over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 20

3. Unhealthy Control Controlling Behaviour: actions designed to exploit, intimidate and manipulate someone for selfish reasons. This involves depriving them of their independence to show domination and this type of behaviour is extremely dangerous because it leads to other types or forms of abuse. What Causes Control Issues? Typically it s a reaction to the fear of losing control. People who struggle with the need to be in control often fear being at the mercy of others, and this fear may stem from traumatic events that left them feeling helpless and vulnerable. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 21

CHURCH.AGE.BOOK 215-1 Now a woman is not meant to have an iron disposition. She is, according to the Holy Scripture, to be submissive to the male. That is commanded of her. Woman who is truly female, all female, will be of that disposition. Not a doormat. No real male makes a female a doormat. But she will want to be under authority and not rule over the male, for he is the head of the house. If she breaks that image that God made for her, she is perverted. Any male that lets the woman take authority has also broken that image and he is perverted. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 23

That is why a woman CANNOT WEAR THAT WHICH PERTAINETH TO A MAN OR CUT HER HAIR. She is never to wear garments that pertain to a male or cut her hair. When she does she is intruding into the male domain taking authority and perverting herself. And when a woman invades the pulpit which it is COMMANDED SHE MUST NOT DO, she shows what spirit she is of. Being a dominating female is antichrist and the seeds of the Roman Catholic Church are in her though she may deny this ever so vehemently. But when it COMES TO THE WORD, Let God be true and every man's word a lie. Amen. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 24

214-3 It is most worthy of note that the very name Thyatira means, "Dominating Female." This age is characterized by a dominant force that ruthlessly invades all, conquers all and despotically controls. Now a dominating female is the greatest curse in the world. The wisest man the world ever saw was Solomon, Ecclesiastes 7:25-28. Paul said, "I suffer not a woman to teach or to USURP authority. From the Garden of Eden onward, woman has constantly and successfully tried to take control over the man, and right today it is a woman's world with the goddess of America being a naked female. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 25

WHY.SOME.PEOPLE.CAN'T.KEEP.THE.VICTORY 22 And there's quite a difference in producing and bearing. Now, we produce education, psychology, intellectuals, the outside form. But to bear the fruit, it must be from the inside coming out. We're trying to smear it on the outside. But God's church isn't built like that; it's from the inside coming out. The apple don't come from the outside of the tree; it comes from the inside out. And the church's got an outside intellectual seminary experience, the best polished scholars we ever had. And the church has got the weakest pulpits it ever had in any age. Is because we're trying to control it by intellectuals. That's not God's program. 2/10/2021 Step Into the Waters 3 57-0324 26
