Sermon Notes

The LORD’s omnipotent First-Love Repentance is His first gift to fallen mankind. There are four major realms of the LORD’s First-Love Repentance, which are identified by the Hebrew words shoob, naw-khaw, no-kham, and nekh-aw-maw. .

(International Convention) Reverend Hicks gives some natural and spiritual history of the Crucified Way. There is nothing that we see today that Almighty God did not create. We need to understand some things concerning God’s Creations in order for us to understand His Master Plan, Purposive Will, and the wonderful things that He has recorded in His Word. The Truth of God’s Word sets us free from ignorance and darkness.

There have been four separate Creations by the LORD God—three prehistoric and one present. In Time, this present Creation includes the Heavens with the sun, moon, and stars and the Earth with Death, Hell, and the Grave. Then, there is the Above (the ahl place) which is in the infinite, divine space beyond the Heavens where the LORD God’s Personal Throne and the Name Jesus are.

(Resurrection Day) In Matthew, chapter 28, Jesus appointed His Disciples to meet Him on a certain mountain in Galilee. In Hebrew, the root word for Galilee is gaw-lal, which means a wheel. There are four different kinds of spiritual Wheels. This type of Wheel refers to the Father’s Fiery Wheels from His Love-Throne Chariot. So this mountain was burning and flaming with Fire, similar to Mount Sinai, except on Mount Sinai, the Fire was from the Law Written in Stone, while Jesus Christ, on the mountain in Galilee, was the Living, Fiery Torah in Flesh.

(Good Friday: Communion and Footwashing) The Blood cries (tsaw-akh) to be covered, which was pictured by Abel’s blood, and sin cries (tsaw-akh) to be punished, which was pictured by Sodom and Gomorrah. In the Old Testament Tabernacle, God taught the Israelites that blood was to be covered by aw-far Dust.

Blood is the infinite Substance of anything we can think of. Revelation 13:8 tells us that the Lamb of God was slain from the foundation of the world. The Father, the Unbegotten Melchizedek Priest, obtained One Blood from the Christ; then, He divided it into three drops. One drop was Creative Blood for the Past and Present Creations. One Drop was Redemptive Blood for Redemption of fallen man, and one drop was Creative Blood for Future Creations that will be brought forth.

Revelation 13:8 tells us that the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. The message discusses the three pieces of furniture in the Mosaic Tabernacle where the blood was applied—the Brazen Altar in the Courtyard, the Golden Altar of Incense in the Holy Place, and the Ark and Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies. These pieces of furniture picture the straight and narrow Way of the Blood of Jesus Christ.

(New Year’s Day, Communion) The message discusses the Principle of moving from one plateau to the next, spiritually. It also quotes Matthew 26:26-29, in which Jesus shared the first Communion with His Disciples.

(New Year’s Eve) Revelation 13:8 speaks about the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. The word for world, here, in Hebrew, is tay-bale, which means the Seed world. When Christ, the Son of God, was begotten in the Bosom of the Father, the Father gave Him twelve Governmental Names.

Job 26:7 says, “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.” What is a “nothing”? No Creation. He hung the Earth on His infinite, eternal Unbegotten Air, Vapor, Breath, a Cloud of His Breath. God puts His Air or His Breath as a support for everything. First Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to give thanks in everything. Why? Because every thing is supported by God’s infinite, Divine Breath.

(Christmas Service) Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 18:8). Jesus is the Name of Christ’s Humanity, and that Name was given on the eighth day when the Christ Child was circumcised. So it was Christ, the Son of God, in Full Stature, Who laid aside all His divine Kabode Glory and came down and became poor so that we, through His poverty, might be rich (II Corinthians 8:9). Rich in what? Rich in the Breath of the Torah.  In Matthew 6:33, Jesus told us to seek the Kingdom of God first; then, all the other things that we need will be added. Psalm 37:4 says: “Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”

(Employee Luncheon) Job 26:7 says: “He [referring to God] stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.” In English, we would interpret nothing as something that is nonexistent. But in Hebrew,nothing goes back to air. And what is air? Breath. The Creation rests upon God’s Breath. To hang on God’s Breath  means that we have to be submissive to Him. To hang on God’s Breath means that we have to have silent resignation to His Will, to His Way of doing things. It means that we have to have tranquil trust in His Breath.This is an infinite, eternal Principle that is found from Genesis to Revelation.

The Vail in the Temple represented the Stature of the Father and the Son that were united as One, for the Mosaic Tabernacle was put in the porch of theTemple. The tenth chapter of the Book of Hebrews declares that the Vail in the Mosaic Tabernacle was a type and shadow of Jesus’ Flesh because Jesus’ Flesh was the Vail to hide the Christ within Him.

In Luke 2:7-11, it was Christ the Lord, the Son of God, Who was in the manger. Christ was there in the Body of Jesus, the Son of Man. But the Angels from Heaven did not come to introduce His Humanity. Christ was perfect Divinity, and perfect Divinity could not die. All Divinity could do was to lie down in the humble place. God gave His Humanity perfect Humanity. He took on Humanity, and He came to put His Humanity in our place.
