•  8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on
  high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts
  unto men.

  captivity captive thou hast received gifts for
  men yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD
  God might dwell among them.

Romans 124-8  4For as we have many members in
one body, and all members have not the same
office  5So we, being many, are one body in
Christ, and every one members one of
another.  6Having then gifts differing according
to the grace that is given to us, 1. whether
prophecy, let us prophesy according to the
proportion of faith 2. or ministry, let us wait
on our ministering 3. or he that teacheth, on
teaching 4. or he that exhorteth, on
exhortation 5. he that giveth, let him do it
with simplicity 6. he that ruleth, with
diligence 7. he that sheweth mercy, with
cheerfulness.

of Christ, doing the will of God from the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS JEFF IN 05-15-54 93 To
you women, when you lay down a pattern. It's a
nice piece of goods, the same goods in it, but
you take like this and lay your pattern just the
way that you're going to cut it. And then you
cut it. That's up to you. But you take the goods
that you cut to make your garment out of, and the
rest of it is used. It's just as good a goods as
the rest of it, but by election you have chose
that. Is that right? The rest of it is just as
holy and just as good, and just as expensive as
the rest of it, but that was your choice. And
God has promised that we are going in the rapture
by election. And the Bible said, "And the rest
of the dead lived not for one thousand years." Is
that right? So only... You'll not be lost, but
the Holy Ghost filled Bride will go in the
rapture. The rest of them will come through
judgment while they didn't.
80
We are all work in process
..what God gave us gifts for, was to magnify Him,
to unify the people and to bring the body
together....
81
The church, positionally, before the foundation
of the world, when God in His labour pain was
bringing forth, bringing forth you, knowing what
you would do, He positionally placed you into His
Own Body, to be a housewife, to be a farmer, to
be a preacher, to be a prophet, to be this, or to
be that. He placed you positionally.
82
PRESENT STAGE OF MY MINISTRY JEFF IN 09-08-62
Remember, what do you do? You repent, believe
on the Gospel, and then be baptized. What
for--for? In the Name of Jesus Christ, for the
remission of your sins. That's your testimony,
that you are. Your sins are gone when you're
baptized you've confessed them, and you believe.
Won't you catch the Lifeline now as it pulls
across your heart, and saying, "Come this way,
pilgrim. Journey with Me, take My cross upon you.
Learn of Me, I'm meek and lowly in heart My
burdens are light." Just reach and take ahold of
It. How many Christians are in the Way tonight,
in here, that are happy that you started a long
time ago, done made your start, and way down
along the road, still coming down towards the
end I pray that God will crown your ministry,
whatever it is. It may be a housewife. I pray
that God will crown your ministry. It may be a
preacher. It may be a deacon it may be a lay
member. It may be a farmer. I don't know what it
is. Whatever it is, may God crown your life
with the glory of His Word, at His second coming
rapture you and take you away into another land
where you'll just be like that little fish I
talked about, out of that blackness down there.
83
And be His subjects, we must walk close to the
Author to understand It, for It to reveal, "Oh,
Lord, what wilt Thou have to--me to do? If I must
go to the fields and preach the Gospel, or must I
stay at home? No matter what it is. If I must be
a good housewife... If I must be a good mother...
If I must do this, that, or the other, whatever
it is... If I must be a farmer... If I...
Whatever it is, Lord, what would you have me do?
CHRIST REVEALED IN HIS OWN WORD JEFF IN
08-22-65 Morning
Moreover it is required in stewards that a man be
found faithful 1 Cor 42
84
As I said a few moments ago, "a housewife," then
be a genuine housewife. That's right. If it's to
be a farmer, be a genuine farmer. Whatever it is
that God has put you to do, you got a stewardship
to that you've got to answer to God for, because
it takes all these things to do it.
