Office
Of The Holy Spirit
Deed
This indenture, made in the evening of the only day of
salvation, in the "acceptable year of the Lord,"
between the aforesaid immortal soul, party of the first
part, and the God of the universe, party of the second
part.
Witnesseth, that the said party of
the second part, for and in consideration of the sum of
the blood of Jesus Christ (provided that the party of the
first part shall have first made a complete consecration,
after living a justified life) freely gives, releases,
grants, and commits to the party of the second part, all
that certain tract of spiritual land lying in the province
of grace, bounded and described as follows; to wit,
bounded on the north by the mercy of God; bounded on the
south by the love of Christ; bounded on the east by the
Sun of righteousness; bounded on the west by the shores of
eternity; being completely surrounded by a wall of fire,
and having the glory of God in the midst thereof. (Zech.
2:5.)
This land known as "The Land
of Canaan," or "The Promised Land," is to
be at the disposal of said party of the first part, to
have, to explore, and to enjoy so long as life shall last.
Party of the second part further
agrees that the aforesaid land shall be "a goodly
land," flowing with milk and honey, and abounding in
corn and wine. The tree of life is to be in the midst of
the land, bringing forth twelve manner of fruits, and
yielding fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree are
to be for healing. (Rev. 22:2.) The land is to be watered
by the river of life, which proceedeth out of the throne
of God and the Lamb (Rev. 22:1); and the atmosphere is to
be perfumed by the Lily of the Valley and the Rose of
Sharon.
This most glorious and ever
beautiful land party of the second part agrees to give to
party of the first part as a free and unmerited gift, as
an everlasting possession. And party of the first Part
agrees to live for, and serve, party of the secondpart, as
has been before stated, according to the New Testament. In
witness whereof the parties named have set their hands and
seal. Dated the day and year first above mentioned.
