Resurrection Number Five. Now, this is the big one. I taught you that the first part of the first resurrection was the “firstfruits.” Then, I taught you that the second part was the harvest. At the harvest the Lord Jesus Christ will return, and the Bible says He’ll return “with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thess. 4:16–18).

This means that I have a command from God to comfort anybody right now. The words of comfort that I have are these: it’s not going to last forever. You’re not always going to be tempted. You’re not always going to fail your Lord. You’re not always going to be lonely. You’re not always going to be frustrated. Your dreams are not always going to go up in smoke. There’s going to be an end to it one of these days. The Lord’s going to come, and out we’re going.

I’ve seen the old turbine for the Lexington carrier in Pensacola. Boy, you talk about power! One of those reduction gears in that flat top is as big as your whole choir loft. You never saw such power. Those boilers in that thing get up to such pressure that if one of those pipes blew stream out it would cut your arm right in two—just the steam coming out from it. Power, brother. They found men in World War II in the Coral Seas who were in boiler rooms when those things exploded. They found corpses leaning up against shafts and doors, and when they touched them all the skin just fell off with the meat and left the bones standing there. In just a matter of a few seconds, brother, the man was boiled and cooked. That’s some power, that’s some power! I fly a lot in the big DC7s and these jets. They get out there on that runway, and they start warming up—zzzzzzzzzzzzz. When they start winding up, you can almost see the wings flapping. It always reminds me of a big bird about ready to take off. I look around on that plane. There are one hundred and fifty people on that plane. With luggage, that’s almost two hundred pounds apiece. I’ll say, “How in the world does this thing get off the ground with twelve tons in it?” Twelve tons just going up like that. That’s power!

But do you know something? The Bible says, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” (Rom. 8:11) That means that if you’re saved, if you’ve received
