THE PSYCHIANA RELIGION 

By Dr. Frank B. Robinson 

STUDY-LESSON NUMBER ONE 

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. 

The Christian Church is fiddling while the world burns. 

There is enough power in the Christian religion to quench the 

flames of war and eliminate the causes of war. There is enough power 

in the Christian religion to drive off the face of the earth, the hates, 

the fears, the unbelief in God which are the primary causes of war. 

There is enough power in the message Jesus brought to the earth 

through the Christian Church, to drive out of existence, every saloon, 

every brothel, every sin and vice of every sort and kind. There is not 

one economic problem which cannot be solved, there is not one sick- 

ness that cannot be healed, and there is not one desire for righteousness 

which cannot be abundantly supplied through the Christian Church, 

if its message is correctly understood. 

The Christian Church possesses now, enough instructions, hidden 

in the words of Jesus, to show this sin-weary earth how it may obtain 

Life Eternal, thus demonstrating the ultimate and immediate aim of 

God. 

No new revelation of any sort is necessary. No new prophet need 

arise. The personal return of Jesus is not necessary. Nor is a new 

message necessary. What is required is that we Christians interpret 

correctly the one message Jesus came to bring, above all other messages. 

If we grasp the underlying doctrine of Jesus—the one which permeated 

His entire earthly life, we shall have mastered the secret of the uni- 

verse. When we interpret, and understand correctly, as we shall, just 

what Jesus taught while He was on this earth, the Christian Church 

can rise in all its majesty and might, and, unafraid, it shall be able 

to assert the prerogatives and the power which rightfully belong to it. 

When it does that, this earth will be filled with the glory of the 

knowledge of God—The Father. Then, nations shall live together 

in perfect peace and joy. Eternal Life will not be something to look 

forward to after we die. It will be something to look forward to 

now, before death comes to us. 

In his first Epistle to the Corinthians, (15:26) Paul said: “The 

last enemy that shall be destroyed shall be death.” Paul said that 

about two thousand years ago. If the Christian Church has made 

any progress toward that goal in the past two thousand’ years, the 

author has not heard of it. 

That promise could have been fulfilled anywhere from the time 

of Paul until the present. There is nothing to indicate when that time 

should come. When it comes is a matter for the Christian Church, 

and that Church alone. 

* * * 

Since Jesus left us here on earth, and went away to ‘prepare a 

place for us’ (John 14:2, 3), little progress has been made by our

Important Instructions For Lesson One 

(To be done AFTER you have studied this Lesson) 

This Lesson has shown you in no uncertain manner, that we know how to 

reveal THE POWER OF GOD to you in such a manner that you will know, 

beyond the shadow of a doubt, that whatever things of God have seemed un- 

attainable on this earth, now may be actually manifested by you. However— 

if you want to know the FULLNESS of The Power of The Spirit of God in 

your life, YOU WILL HAVE TO PROVE THAT YOU WANT IT. You will 

have to show your intense eagerness to know the actual Spirit of God, mani- 

festing in you in such a manner that through that Great Spirit, you may 

achieve those things your heart desires. This is no negative religion. It is not 

a religion in theory. It is a religion of POWER. 

When you want the Power of God in your life more than you want anything 

else, you will receive It. There are certain simple though dynamic exercises 

which you MUST do. You cannot find the the actual Power of God without 

intelligent effort. It takes quite a time to understand any of the sciences—it 

will take you some time to understand how The Spirit of God manifests in 

your life. Every evening, just before you retire, set fifteen minutes aside for 

quiet communion with God. Sit in a comfortable straight-hacked chair. Close 

your eyes: Breathe slowly, easily. and quietly. Breathe deeply. Put all thoughts 

of the world completely out of your mind. 

After you have secured a passive, intent, searching attitude, and with your 

physical body completely relaxed, eyes still closed, make this statement:—“I 

BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE LIVING GOD.” If you can make the 

statement out loud, do so. If others are around, make it mentally. I prefer 

it to be made audibly. Make the statement slowly, and pause for ten seconds, 

then repeat the the statement again. DO THIS TWENTY TIMES. Then, for a 

few moments longer, keep completely relaxed. After you have retired, com- 

pletely relax every muscle. As you close your eyes, repeat this same state- 

ment, either in a whisper or silently. After you have retired, do not move a 

muscle. š 

You will find in your field of closed-eye vision, an area which is a bit brighter 

than the surrounding darkness. LOOK RIGHT INTO THAT BRIGHT AREA, 

and, either in a whisper, or silently, repeat again: — “I BELIEVE IN THE = 

POWER OF THE LIVING GOD.” It is necessary that you do this exercise 

every evening until your next Lesson appears. Through the day, EVERY 

HOUR ON THE HOUR, stand still wherever you are and repeat the same 

statement. This is a strange way of finding the Power of God did I hear you 

say? Well just follow me. I know the way, and Pl lead you into the most 

blessed experience of Spiritual Power you have ever known. YOU MUST 

DO THIS EXERCISE. You will—won’t you?

Church toward any of the goals Jesus promised we should aspire to, 

and could aspire to with absolute certainty. 

We find the world bathed in horrible blood-shed. We find in- 

describable suffering rampant throughout the nations of the earth. 

We find the major nations experimenting with the awful force re- 

leased by atomic fission. We find our scientists, with those of other 

nations, experimenting with the explosion of the cosmic ray. which. 

if these scientists are able to explode it. could very easily wipe this 

civilization off the face of the earth. : 

One would have to be a supreme optimist to sit complacently in 

an arm-chair, twiddle his thumbs, and say:—‘‘Oh well—God's in 

His Heaven, all's right with the world.” 

I am not so sure that God is in His Heaven. lam, however, quite 

sure that all is not right with the world. The human race today 

hovers on the brink of a catastrophe of such magnitude: the sins. the 

hate, the fears, the debauchery, the spirit of ruthless murder. the absolute rejection of things of God—these things are so overwhelmingly 

prevalent, that in the normal course of events, and in the absence of 

a spiritual awakening in the Christian Church. we may witness the 

complete fall of this civilization, and the destruction of the greater 

part of the human race. 

There is one other thing that can happen. This earth can be 

brought under the complete domination of a nation which. if it could, 

would destroy the name of God from off the face of the earth. I do 

not need to mention this nation by name. The handwriting is on the 

wall, The language ts so platn that all may understand tt. 

Never in the known history of this earth was morality and disre- 

gard for the things of God so marked. There does not exist in any 

nation, fundamentals true enough to be foundations for a permanent 

structure of peace and joy, built upon the existence of God and the 

precepts of God. On the contrary, if this civilization continues, and 

there is no spiritual awakening in the Christian Church, any civiliza- 

tion builded upon existing foundations will crumble in the next 

decade or two, if not sooner. 

No civilization founded on anything other than the truths of 

God, as Jesus came to reveal those Truths, can endure. Writing in a 

very forceful manner, Dr. Jean Milner, Pastor of the historic Second 

Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis where Henry Ward Beecher used 

to preach, has this to say in his book “The Sky Is Red”... 

“We are living in one of those rare periods in Time 

from which greatness can emerge through the renewal of 

the human spirit by a more vital contact with the Great 

Spirit. Such moments, so pregnant with tremendous pos- 

sibilities, are not often vouchsafed to man. A sweeping 

movement, climbing upward toward the building of the 

world of our dreams—-or—a spiral downward toward dis- 

aster, seems to lie just beyond the borders of our day. One 

cannot view with serenity the possibility of our failing to 

take advantage of this supreme moment in Time. Out of 

such periods magnificence comes. The Christian Church 

has an opportunity now, which, if she let slip through her 

fingers, she may never have again. She must prove herself 

worthy of the leadership demanded of her. She will serve 

the modern world with Christian greatness or be repudt- 

ated by it. The Spirit of Christ will not leave the earth. but 

His Spirit will live in institutions other than our own.” 

(Italics ours. ) 

That is very plain speaking. Coming from a man such as Dr. 

Milner, attention should be paid to it. Dr. Milner, however, is not 

telling those of us who know the internal conditions of the church 

and the world, anything we co not already know. He is merely em- 

phasizing it. No man or woman capable of thinking or observing the 

trends of the times, fails to recognize the fact that the Christian 

Church seems utterly incompetent to intervene in world affairs. It 

has a certain amount of social standing. It has a certain amount of 

respect. But you know, and all Christians know that it possesses no 

power whatsoever which carı cope with world conditions, overcoming 

them as Jesus said His Church should overcome them. 

The author, however, has stated that the Christian Church does 

possess enough Power, through the correctly understood message Jesus 

brought to this earth, to eliminate completely, the very ills which are 

not only plaguing this earth, but which are driving it headlong to 

destruction. He reiterates, at this point, his previous statement that 

every fear, every hate, every evil, every sin, everything which tends to 

lead men and women away from God—can be eliminated by the 

message Jesus brought to this earth. 

That message was given once to the Christian Church. It still 

has that message. It has the power, too, to transform that message into 

living, vital, inspired divine action. (Let us remember here that the 

Christian Church ís a divine Institution.) Yet it is doing none of 

these things. It never has been able to do very many of them. 

We send a few «missionaries into foreign lands to try to convert 

those of other religions to ours. We send them to take the message 

Jesus came to bring to humanity, to those who have not as yet heard 

that vital message. What worries the author is this—HAVE WE 

COMPREHENDED THE MESSAGE OURSELVES? Have we 

proven here at home, in this Christian (?) nation, that the message 

Jesus came to proclaim, is able to liberate men and women from the 

perils of this world, at the same time bringing to the whole world, 

the means whereby it may rid itself of the fears, the hates, the sins, 

and the crimes which drive it from God? 

Or are we merely sending our missionaries into foreign fields as 

agents of our respective religions? What message is it that our mis- 

sionaries take to other nations? The message Jesus came to earth tc 

proclaim? Assuredly. But where is the evidence at home that the mes- 

sage, as taught oy the Christian Church, has enough efficacy to cleanse 

our own nation before we try to cleanse others? 

4 

+ 

Listen to the majestic words of Jesus in Matthew 27:18, 19: “All 

Power is given unto Me in Heaven and in earth —GO YE THERE- 

FORE...” 

Have we Christians fully understood just what Power it is which 

was given unto Jesus? Or have we been satisfied to merely proclaim 

that Jesus was the Son of God' and let it go at that? Have we been. 

satisfied with merely winning others to that belief, forgetting com- 

pletely about the Power which was given to Jesus? 

That is what we shall attempt to discover. 

That there is something radically wrong with our message goes 

without saying. It is not appealing to this world. It is not changing 

the lives of men and nations. In spite of the divinity of the message 

and the Church, one would have a hard time convincing anyone that 

the Christian Church is divine in its origin. 

From divinity, one expects things that are divine. From the fol- 

lowers of Jesus, one should expect the Power of which Jesus spoke in 

Matthew 27, to be made manifest through them. If the command of 

Jesus was to go into all the world, because ali’ power had been given to 

Him, then He meant that the very same Power He used should be used 

and manifested by Christians everywhere—-clid He not? 

Let us listen once more:— “The things that I do shall ye do also, 

because I go to My Father.” 

But can the Christian Church do those things? Has it ever been 

able to do those things? Can Christians today heal the sick? Can 

they raise the dead? Can they do one single thing toward eliminating 

the forces of evil which are so rampant on the earth? Jesus did all 

those things: and He said Christians should do them too, because He 

was going away. 

Did Jesus know whereof He spake? Or was He just talking to 

make Himself heard? Did He mean what He said? Or has the Chris- 

tian Church completely missed the meaning of the message of Jesus? 

And what was the Power Jesus was possessecl of? And Who is 

His Father, to Whom He went? And if Jesus was possessed of all the 

Power of His Father—the Great Spirit Dr. Milner speaks of, why is 

it that we Christians cannot also use and demonstrate the Power of 

God, as Jesus said we should? And can it be that the utter failure of 

our Church to influence the fearful conditions which exist on the 

earth, is because we do not possess any such Power, or, possessing it, 

do not know we have it? Can that be the answer? 

That could very easily be. There can be little merit in advocating 

Christian principles, if we do nothing more than that. There can be 

little merit in telling the world that “Jesus died on the cross for the 

sins of the world,” unless we are able to show the world how its 

multitudinous sins and wrong-doings can be prevented. 

Without the ability to demonstrate the Power Jesus used and 

taught, which Power He said we too should be able to use and teach, 

what is left of our religion? It is not merely a profession of faith and 

nothing more? And if that is what it is, if what benefit can it be to 

5 

this world? Is not faith without works dead? The Christian Church 

may have all the faith in the world in its doctrines and precepts, but 

if tt has not the works with which to publicly demonstrate the faith. 

of what use can tt be to the world, which seems to care very little what 

any church believes tn? 

Shall we consider for a moment the possibility that our Christian 

Church possesses a Power of such staggering import that through the 

use of It, every ill this world suffers from can be permanently alievi- 

ated, every wrong righted, every sin driven from the face of the earth, 

every sickness healed as Jesus healed them, and in addition to that, is 

there not a possibility that through the Power vested in the Christian 

Church by Jesus, we might, perhaps, be able to show this sin-cursed, 

dying humanity how it can live forever—through the Power Jesus 

came to reveal? 

Is that beyond the realm of possibility? I’m not so sure that it is. 

As a matter of fact, the more I think about it, the more convinced am 

I that this is exactly the case. It is the author's opinion that the 

. Christian Church, standing impotently by the side of the road, while 

the mad world rushes heedlessly to destruction, does not possess the 

Power necessary to halt this mad rush, and bring all men and all na- 

tions to a knowledge of God—here and now. 

If Jesus knew whereof He spake, and I am convinced that He did, 

then it becomes evident that we are without the very Power Jesus not 

only said we should have, but gave us. You will recall that He said 

it was expedient that He go away? Shall we read John 16:7? 

“Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is expedient that 

I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforters will not 

come unto you; but if I depart I will send Him unto you.” 

We know that Jesus did go away. We know that none has heard 

from Him since, either directly or indirectly. For nearly two thousand 

years this world has had no definite statement from Jesus. He has 

made no appearance since He was here, and while there are those 

amongst us who look for His second coming, there are many who do 

not. In any event, can it be that this world Jesus loved so well has 

been left Godless since Jesus went away? What about the Comforter 

which Jesus said He would send? We can believe Jesus, can we not? 

But just what, if anything, does our Christian Church know about 

the Comforter? What personal contact have we had with that Com- 

forter? Did Jesus mean that when the Comforter had come, the 

Christian Church, which He founded, should know nothing about 

this Comforter! 

Do you suppose for one moment that when Jesus went away, he 

suspected that all Power should disappear with Him, thereby leaving 

His Church with no Power whatsoever? Do you suppose that the 

present exercises and practices of our Church are sufficient to save this 

world, and lead it to God? Or is something else needed? 

_ We meet in our respective churches every Sunday. We listen to a 

prayer and a sermon. We sing a few hymns. We give our offering. 

6 

We shake hands and depart, and we see each other again one week later. 

A few of the most faithful to the faith, see each other at prayer-meet- 

ing on Wednesday night. But what more about God dozs the world 

know after one hundred thousand ministers have preached one hun- 

dred thousand sermons in one hundred thousand churches every Sun- 

day? How much less sin is there in the world when we get through 

with our religious exercises? How much closer to God is humanity, 

because a few million Christians, of hundreds of different beliefs, meet 

in their respective churches each Sunday morning? 

Is that what Jesus had in mind when He said:— “All Power is 

given unto Me, go ye therefore... ?” I think not. I think Jesus tied 

up that statement with another statement I have quoted to you about 

the Comforter coming, after Jesus left. 

“Tam quite sure that the Comforter, Whom Jesus promised to send, 

was to carry on the works that Jesus did. Why, we ourselves are sup- 

posed to do that, are we not? Remember—Jesus said that the works, 

not the faith, but the works that He did, we of the Christian Church 

should do also—did He not? 

As all Christians know, the Comforter is the Holy Ghost, or Hol y 

Spirit, or Spirit of God. (I Cor. 3:16). I like to use the words 

“Spirit of God.” So little is either the "Holy Ghost" or “Holy Spirit” 

understood, that I believe I can make my meaning very much plainer 

if I adhere to my habit of speaking about the Comforter as “The Spirit 

of God.” 

It is interesting in passing to note that in Paul’s Epistle to the 

Corinthians, he tells us exactly where The Spirit of God is to be 

found. Shall we read: — 

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that 

The Spirit of God liveth in you?” 

Here we have a very definite statement, and on which can be 

believed, that The Spirit of God actually lives in us. I wonder how 

many of us Christians know that? But Jesus said He would send 

Him, and it is out of the question to believe that Jesus intended to 

leave either the world or the Christian Church Godless, and here we 

have the statement that the Comforter Jesus said He would send, 

actually lives in us, we being the actual and literal Temple of God. 

Could it possibly be that our Church has been so occupied with 

its doctrines, articles of faith, creeds, precepts and preachments that it 

has entirely overlooked The Spirit of God? And can it be possible 

that we Christians have been standing idly by on the sidelines, im- 

potent to help, while all the time we had. actually living in us, the 

very Sp:rit which Jesus said He would send? And can it be possible 

that the fault for the condition of this world can rightfully be placed 

on the door step of the Christian Church? 

That could be. It probably is. 

The premises on which the author is building his reasoning are 

quite plain and simple. Jesus came to this earth to reveal the Spirit of 

God, and that implies all the Power The Spirit of God possesses. He 

il 

went away. He was crucified. Neither the world nor the church of 

that day would receive or accept His message. I say the church, be- 

cause even His own disciples left Him and fled. Jesus had gone. None 

has heard from Him since. 

Before He left, however. He promised to send The Spirit of God 

to us. This, He most certainly did. Now along comes the Apostle 

Paul, and tells us the one specific place wherein The Spirit of God 

lives, and all the while as we have been looking upon the Spirit of 

God as some mystical part of the Trinity, we now discover that The 

Spirit of God actually lives in us. We have the authority of Paul 

for that statement. No Christian can doubt it. 

This means then. that every Christian (and perhaps others too, 

as we may see later) has, living in him or her, at this very moment, 

The Spirit of God. This is the Great Spirit to which Dr. Jean Milner 

has referred in the quotation I gave you from ‘J he Sky Is Red.” 

This existence of The Spirit of God in the physical body of every 

Christian, opens up a realm of such vast possibilities, that the imagina- 

tion is staggered when one sits quietly down and begins to ponder this 

electrifying fact. For it most assuredly is an electrifying fact. 1 do 

not believe there is one Christian in a million who actually believes 

that all the Power there is in The Spirit of God, actually resides, or 

lives in his physical body. Yet that is exactly what Paul, writing in 

our Bible, states. It is what Jesus so plainly stated. 

Now then, perhaps we may be getting somewhere. 1f The Spirit 

of God does live in our physical bodies, and Paul very carefully states 

that He does live in our bodies, then we may take it for granted that 

all the Power there is in The Spirit of God, lives in our bodies too. 

You cannot separate the Spirit of God from the Power of God. Jesus, 

you can. He said that he was “going away and would send The Spirit 

of God” to us. But you cannot separate the Power of God from The 

Spirit of God, neither can you separate the Power of God from your 

physical body, and believe your Bible. 

Unfortunately, our church seems hopelessly divided on the unique 

deity of Jesus. More seem to doubt it than believe it. However, in 

passing, may Í point out that there is one place, among others, where 

those of us who do not believe in the deity of Jesus have good grounds 

for their beliefs. Jesus did go away. That separates Him from The 

Spirit of God. Those who believe Jesus had a unique deityship, may 

still believe that way, because Jesus went back to the Father—God. 

The author is of the opinion that The Spirit of God, and God the 

Father are one and the same thing. However, what the author be- 

lieves does not matter. It is his plain duty to reveal to you some very 

new and startling things about the Power of God. He will prove his 

every point from our Bible. He may be able to so thrill his fellow- 

Christians with knowledge of The Spirit of God, that our beloved 

Christian Church may, even at this late hour, arise from its slumber 

and go forth in a militant spirit, endued with the Power of The Spirit 

of God, and show this wicked planet for the first time in its existence, 

what it really means to have The Spirit of God living in our bodies. 

8 

With the fact definitely settled that The Spirit of God does live 

in your body, and in mine, we certainly have something very definite 

and tangible on which to go, have we not? Let us remember that we 

are here dealing with, and talking about the Power of God, the Cre- 

ator of this universe. We are dealing with the only Power there can 

be, and the Power which, perhaps millions of years ago, created man 

on this earth, and by Whose will and pleasure, man is still here. 

He seems a hopeless travesty on the man the Creator made ages 

ago, does he not? But, bad though the present picture is, 1 shall not 

say that it is completely hopeless. There still is the possibility that 

the Christian Church will arise in the great might it possesses, because 

the Power of The Spirit of God lives in the body of each member, 

and, in that might which really is God, reveal to this world just what 

the Power of God means. 

It is very significant that at the different peace conferences being 

held as I write this, not the slightest reference is made to the existence 

of Almighty God. Much less is made to the awe-inspiring fact that the 

Spirit of God actually lives in each one of us. Surely, we must have 

been asleep at the switch to have lived our years on the earth, some 

few, some many, without ever having paid the slightest attention to 

the fact that The Spirit of God, with all the Power that implies, 

actually does live in our physical body. here and now. 

* * * 

In our studies together, the author will be very careful to explain 

to the best of his ability, every step we take along the way. He has 

but one aim in life, and that is to reveal the Power of God to the 

Christian Church, and try, very tenderly, and, he hopes, very wisely, 

to show it just why it has not been able to carry on the message Jesus 

gave it to carry on, when He died here on earth at Golgotha, the place 

of a skull. 

‘Something has gone wrong. Something is wrong, and it is the 

aim of the author to see if together, we cannot find out just what that 

something is. There is a logical, sane answer somewhere. We of the 

Christian faith cannot hide behind the bogey that the world will not 

accept our faith. If that is the case, had we better not look into our 

faith to see if, perhaps, there is not something somewhere in it which 

we have over-looked? That might be advisable, for the world hungers 

for God. 

It is quite evident to the author, that Jesus was fully aware of 

the Spirit of God living in Him. He knew that it was through the 

Power of God living in Him—The Spirit of God—He was able to 

perform His miracles, even to raising the dead. The author has no 

hesitation about saying that when you and I know the full degree to 

which The Spirit of God has been given to us, living in our bodies at 

this moment, we too shall be able to duplicate the works of Jesus. 

No—that is not just a wild surmise on my part. I say that because 

Jesus said it first. Remember?— “The things that I shall do shall ye 

do also.” He did not exclude the raising of Lazarus. He said “The 

9 

things.” and that means all the things the disciples had seen Him do 

—does it not? 

Then, as if to corroborate this, listen to the Great Jesus once more 

as He says: —‘‘All things are possible to him that believeth.” 

Now that does not mean ‘‘a few things.’’ It means just exactly 

what it says. Christians cannot question the authority of Jesus, can 

they? Well then, let us see—-here we have three statements which you 

should learn by heart. I suggest at this point in our studies together 

into the Realm of the Spirit of God, that you get a little book, or a few 

pieces of paper, and write down the things which I shall bring out, 

concerning which there can be no doubt whatsoever. 

These things may appear strange to us Christians, for this Realm 

of the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of God as I prefer to call it, is the one 

Realm the Christian Church has left alone. That is a pity. It may 

be that the answer to all our problems lies in this very Realm of The 

Spirit of God. 

Can it be that we have been so busy talking and preaching about 

Jesus, that we have forgotten the Power Jesus said He would send to 

this earth? Can it be that we have overlooked the fact that the great 

things wrought by Jesus, the things which made Him great, were, as 

He stated, not done by Him, but by the Father, or the Spirit of God 

“that dwelleth in Me’’—He doeth the works. 

Let us read together, John 14:10, shall we? 

“Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the 

Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak 

not of myself; but the Father, that dwellest in Me, He doeth 

the works.” 

Here you have the definite, unqualified statement of Jesus that 

neither the words He spake, nor the works He did, were done by Him- 

self. He very definitely states that it is The Father, which is The 

‘Spirit of God, which did the works. He also here in this passage, very 

plainly tells us that The Father (The Spirit of God) ts in Him, and 

He is in The Spirit of God—The Father. 

Three points to jot down on your little pad if you please. The 

first is that The Spirit of God actually lives in us. The second is that 

Jesus said the same Spirit of God lived in Him. The third point is 

that Jesus said that He, of Himself, could do nothing—He said it 

was The Father within Him that did His works. There is another 

point here, which you should note. Jesus said that we too should do 

the very same things He did, and, of course, we should do them 

through the very same Spirit which dwelt in Him, and which also 

dwells in us. 

If there is any doubt in your mind about what Jesus meant, or 

about your possessing the very same Power Jesus possessed, then look 

at Romans 8:11 and the last vestige of doubt will go. Here it is: — 

“But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the 

dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead 

10 

shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that , 

dwelleth in you.” 

That, my Christian friend, is a very significant passage of Scrip- 

ture. You will do well to digest it fully. It contains the secret of 

the universe and the ages. It contains the answer to every problem 

which can beset you through this life. It contains more than that; 

it contains the very definite and specific promise that The Spirit of 

God which lives in you—now listen—shall quicken your mortal 

body by His Spirit that dwelleth tn you. 

What does it mean to quicken? Well, it means to make more 

alive, does it not. So you may also add this point to those you are 

keeping. You may safely state that the Spirit of God in you, the 

very same Spirit which lived in Jesus, can, in addition to doing ‘‘all 

things,” quicken your mortal body, and, if you can have faith 

enough, there is, within you, The Spirit of God, and that Spirit can 

give to you Eternal Life, and can give it to you whenever you can 

take it. The problem of Eternal Life is not God's problem. He had 

already done all He can do. It is your problem, for if The Spirit of 

God actually lives in you, and can quicken your body, then, being the 

same Spirit which created the body so many ages ago, The Spirit of 

God can also give you life in your physical body for as long as you 

want it. 

Jesus said the things He did you too should do. He said that the 

Power which makes those things possible lives in you. Paul corrobo- 

rates Jesus. I could introduce here an overwhelming mass of evidence 

to show that Eternal Life on this earth is not only possible, but is 

the very thing Jesus came to earth to show us how to bring to pass. 

Shall we listen once more to Jesus, whom we must believe: — 

“He that believeth on Me shall never die—believest thou 

this?” 

Why shall he never die? Because he has in him The Spirit of God, 

which is the Spirit of Eternal Life. It is the Spirit which created Life 

in the first place. With God actually living in our body, and God 

being Life, what is there to stop us from calling upon The Spirit of 

God in us, or finding and using the Spirit of God in us, to obtain 

Eternal Life here on earth? 

If you doubt this, you must doubt Jesus. He said: —‘‘All things 

are possible to him that believeth.” He also said that whosoever be-
