Volume 5 The Tears of Calvary

by Ernest Angley

What is the priceless gift? The tears of Calvary, of Divinity. Only

Divinity can produce the tears of Calvary in one's life; they cannot
be produced in a life that is not like the Lord's. The tears of
Divinity are different than the salty tears of man. Divinity can cry
without tears running down the cheeks.

A life must yield to the Lord the way the Son yielded in order for
that one to carry the tears of Calvary. The Glorious Church will
carry the tears of Calvary. Who is in the Glorious Church? True April 1991
Bible believers, those who have accepted all that Jesus has said,
believing every word. They delight in the whole plan of
redemption, the whole plan of His healing power, the whole plan

Calvary
In the tears of Calvary is much joy and much sorrow. The
Glorious Church will cry sad tears, yearning tears and happy tears; many different kinds of
emotions are found in Calvary's tears. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that
goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with
rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him (Psalm 126:5,6). The Glorious Church is sowing in
tears and reaping in joy, using the tears of Calvary to save the lost, rejoicing as she gathers in the
sheaves, so glad in heart to see all who are coming to the Lord, all who are receiving salvation and
healing. The tears of Calvary bring healing power to the unhealed as well as salvation to the
unsaved. Joy reigns in the camp of God's people to see souls coming to the Lord with the tears of
Calvary, tears of joy.

The tears of Calvary reach out to the inhabitants of the Earth. The Glorious Church embraces all
the love and peace of God flowing like rivers to her. Everything is supplied by Him; no power can
defeat her.

Ever onward goes the Glorious Church, dealing with the enemy the way Christ did. In this, her

final hour, she will face the devil possessed just like Jesus faced them. Her cry will be the same as
His: In the name of Jesus, come out! The Glorious Church's most valued possession in this final
hour is the tears of Calvary. She knows what makes up those tears, and she dares give herself to the
Lord completely in holy, clean living.

Jesus loves the Glorious Church; He is true to her, and the Glorious Church is like Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot (I Peter 1:19). As Jesus the Lamb is without spot or
blemish, the Glorious Church also is without spot or wrinkle. Ephesians 5:27, A glorious church,
not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish.

Jesus gave Himself for the Glorious Church, the Bride of Christ. She will be glorious in this her
final hour. Jesus came to Earth as the God/man, taking on the form of human flesh. With Him He
brought everything we need to live holy and to be like Him.

Holy before Him, the Glorious Church cries tears of Calvary. None but the holy ones can cry the
tears of Calvary. Remember this. Many people cry, but not with the tears of Calvary, just human
tears. Only the Glorious Church has the tears of Calvary. No wonder the Father looks upon such a
sight and finds it glorious! No wonder she will sweep multitudes into the Kingdom in this her final
hour, shaking kingdoms—and all hell as well—as many multitudes cry the tears of Calvary. Think
what the Glorious Church possesses, think of the priceless gift she has: the tears of Calvary. No
wonder the Father looks upon such a sight and finds it glorious! No wonder she will sweep
multitudes into the Kingdom in this her final hour, shaking kingdoms—and all hell as well—as
many multitudes cry the tears of Calvary. Think what the Glorious Church possesses, think of the
priceless gift she has: the tears of Calvary.

Walking close in the steps of Jesus, the Glorious Church's armor is the same as His; she has it all,
everything needed. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having
on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:14-17). Truth and righteousness
go into the armor of God. The gospel of peace is the Bride's serenity. Night and day she hugs it to
her bosom; His peace is a part of her. Willing to live, willing to die for the Gospel, the Bride loves
the Word. She knows the Word is her life, her faith. The Bride has the same shield of faith that
Jesus had. No greater shield than the shield of faith could be allotted to us, the Glorious Church.
That shield of faith quenches all the fiery darts of the devil. With the shield of faith, you don't have
to worry: you have God's faith to use. Just as God supplied His Son Jesus with faith when He was
here on Earth, He is supplying faith to the Glorious Church. Everything God the Father supplied
for Jesus He is providing for His sons and daughters of the Glorious Church. It's all yours.

The helmet of salvation—the salvation Jesus brought—is treasured by the Glorious Church; she
delights in it. Her sword is the Word of God, the same sword Jesus used when He was here on
Earth; it's the sword He wanted Peter to have when He said, Put up thy sword into the sheath
(John 18:11). The Glorious Church has put up her worldly sword and taken His, the Word of God.
Jesus came, and the Sword conquered the powers of the devil. All hell came against that Sword,
but was not able to prevail. The Glorious Church, too, has the Sword of the Word to use against all
powers of the devil.

We as members of the Glorious Church have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. We are
glorious in God's sight because of total obedience, because we have the same Spirit His Son Jesus
had. We walk in the same humility, with the same respect for our heavenly Father. We live just as
pure, clean and holy as Jesus lived. It is marvelous indeed for the Lord to look upon us with the
delight that He had in His Son Jesus! Study the close relationship between the heavenly Father
and Jesus. Although the Son came to Earth and the Father remained in heaven, there really was no
separation between them. And there is no separation between God's love and the born-again
Christians, no matter how great the distance may seem between them. The blood of Jesus has
brought us that nigh unto heaven, unto God the Father. His blood has made us pure and clean so
the Lord can walk hand in hand with us. Not contaminated in any way, our sins all gone, washed
away in the blood of the Lamb, we have become new creatures.

One day the Lord told me what close connection I have to heaven when I minister to the sick. The
angel of the Lord just turns from Him and speaks to me.

It's all possible through the divine tears of Calvary.

Oh holy One, you have a priceless gift that shakes all hell, a priceless gift that will shake your lost in
a way they have never been shaken before, saith the Lord. Mothers, Daddies, you may have cried,
only to see your boys and girls turn away from your tears. But as you cry the tears of Calvary, it will
be a different story. It will be much harder for them to turn away, and many won't be able to turn
away from those kind of tears. The tears of Calvary will bring sleepless nights to many boys and
girls, a desire to reach out for what you have because they know it's something they don't possess.
You display a peace, a courage missing in their lives; and you have a vision of the soon coming of
the Lord. They know you're thrilled about it, unafraid, that you have power from on High, that the
Word lives inside you.

God's all for mankind is in the Glorious Church is in the tears of Calvary. Jesus' all, the Holy
Spirit's all is in those tears. With the tears of Calvary, you have everything to use that Jesus used
when He was here on Earth. You're not slighted on anything; the supply from heaven is unlimited.
You have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. Trampling devils underfoot with the courage of

Jesus, you use His strength, His voice of peace, deliverance, love, faith. Your voice sounds the
same in the ears of the heavenly Father as the voice of Jesus. That voice said Father, you always
hear me, and the Glorious Church will cry it again and again, saith the Lord, in this final hour.
Father you always hear me! Oh glory be to God! What a wonderful testimony to those around
you: Father you always hear me! I come in the name of your Son Jesus. I come in the same faith,
the same humility, the same spirit of obedience, with the same vision, the same everything. I come
with the same holy living, and I come with the tears of Calvary. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
No lack, no need, nothing overlooked. The Apostle Paul said, And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:10).

Jesus came, took on a weak body of flesh like we have, depending on all of God's promises. All of
them worked. God's love, faith, peace never failed; His longsuffering, goodness, self-control,
salvation, and the power of the Holy Ghost never failed Him.

Jesus brought all that is available to you from God, used it as a human being, tested it to show us
that it would work for us, too. Jesus didn't test it as the Divine One; He would not have come to
Earth in the first place for that kind of a test. It wouldn't have been necessary. Jesus knows God's
abilities, His strength. But people must know what God has available for them to use in order to
understand how God will use them when they walk in the steps of the Master, what is available to
them through the power of the Holy Ghost. The power of God that Jesus used is the same power
Children of God can use. God must have people to use His power in and through to defeat the
powers of the devil.

Jesus made the way for us to follow Him in water baptism. When John baptized Jesus in Jordan,
the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a
dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased (Matthew 3:16,17). Jesus was baptized in water and in the
Holy Ghost. John saw the Holy Ghost descending on Him in the form of a dove. Going forth in the
power of the Spirit, Jesus fasted forty days and nights, giving us the fasting example.

Never fast longer than forty days at one time. Christ went the limit in everything. Always when I
reach the fortieth day of a fast, no matter what the fast is for, I close my case. I have done
everything I could, prayed and fasted a Bible fast for forty days and nights; and that's it. I close all
doors to never open them again. There is no need for me to worry and fret about the matter. Now
it is completely in the hands of God, out of human hands altogether. If divine hands cannot bring
about the answer, it isn't worth it. If God doesn't will it done, I bow to His will. What ever He
wants, I want.

The tears of Calvary are marvelous indeed. The Glorious Church has come from all walks, all roads

of life. Every member of this Glorious Church was once sinful, but no sin can be accepted by the
body of Christ, not one willful sin. To be in the body of Christ, each member first must be saved.

Frightened, scarred, degraded by Satan's ugly, destructive hands of sin, many lives have been
completely ruined, broken vessels of no value, worth no more than a handful of contaminated
dust. They were like Mary Magdalene before Jesus cast seven devils out of her.

But after her deliverance, Mary Magdalene became a part of Him, and what a vessel she made!
The dedication of a delivered Mary is the dedication of the Glorious Church. While others backed
away from the cross in fear, she remained. Mary's love for Jesus was greater than her fear of
death. It didn't matter how many warnings to stay away from the tomb had been given, she didn't
care. She was there to help anoint the body of Jesus. When the tomb was found to be empty, Mary
Magdalene, weeping, came to search for the body. In other words, Mary was saying I love Him so!
Although He is dead, I honor His body, I treasure His body. I want Him to have a decent burial.

While she was by the tomb in that state of mind, Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest
thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him,
Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take
him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him,
Raboni; which is to say, Master (John 20:15-16). When Jesus spoke her name, Mary knew that
voice. Master! she cried. Mary was a part of the Glorious Church, she who once had been devil
possessed, a woman of the streets. She had lived a degraded life—until Jesus washed her clean,
made her holy; and she had His heavenly love.

Mary reached out to touch Jesus, but He said: Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to
my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and
your Father; and to my God, and your God (verse 17). Later they could touch Him.

Mary saw Him, heard Him speak, and she ran forth to preach the message: He's alive! He's alive!
He's alive! One who had the tears of Calvary first carried the Resurrection message.

Peter could have preached that message, but he didn't have the tears of Calvary, not yet. Mary was
the one with the tears of such love and faith. She didn't doubt that He was alive.

Mary, this member of the Glorious Church, was cleansed, delivered, made upright and holy. Think
of the life she once had lived and compare it to the way she was after Jesus changed her life. Take
hope, oh Sinner. You, like Mary, can become a part of the Glorious Church, a member of His body.
You can be cleaned up no matter who you are. Look at others who have been cleansed. There is
hope for all the unholy today if they yield to His message of deliverance, to His hands of greatness.
We all were degraded in sin at one time, but when we took Jesus into our hearts, we were made
holy in His presence, the spots and wrinkles removed.

The Lord molds yielded clay into vessels of honor. He takes that which is ugly and makes it
beautiful. In those hands of perfect love, any life can be changed, made completely new no matter
how vile it once was. The touch of the Master's hands can heal it all.

Treasure the priceless gift, the tears of Calvary that belong to the Bride, the body of Christ. The
Lord is taking into the body of Christ each member of the Glorious Church, each person one by one
just like He took Mary. Many of you need deliverance, devils cast out the way Mary did; and with
great love, He brings deliverance. One by one He washes each soul clean, makes it holy, and places
it carefully in the body.

Study the body of Christ. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the
members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. If the foot
shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the
body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it
therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If
the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the
members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. For our comely parts
have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant
honour to that part which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but
that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one
member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the
members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular (I
Corinthians 12: 12,15-18, 24-27).

Each one of you born-again Christians has a place in the body of Christ. He has placed you in your
place and He treasures you just like you treasure the members of your own body. You treasure the
eyes, the hands, the feet. You don't think an eye is greater than a hand or love your knee more than
your elbow. God treats the members of the body of Christ equally, with the same love, the same
respect—it's the Glorious Church, the body of Christ. He is the head.

We have been placed so carefully, and so carefully we have taken our place in the body of Christ for
this final hour with the tears of Calvary. We will go forth in the greatness of Him, in the same Holy
Spirit, with the same vision. We will have the same "Go-ye" that He had, and we will work as He
worked until our work is done for the Master. How marvelous indeed!

It's wonderful to be member of the Glorious Church in this final hour, to be able to pull down the
power of heaven and to have the knowledge of God's moving. As the Glorious Church cries the
tears of Calvary, there will be great earthquakes of power, saith the Lord, throughout the whole
Earth. The devil possessed—the Legion's of our day—will be liberated, set free. As the Glorious
Church cries the tears of Calvary, the Sword of truth will be used in the strength of the greatness of
heaven, the same power Jesus used when He was here on Earth. She cries, and multitudes will be
filled with the Spirit. She cries, and Calvary will light up with all the forgiveness that mankind
needs. The great sign "Whosoever will, let him come" will blaze out in bold letters of love so all can

see and have a chance to accept the living Christ or to reject Him and turn away into total darkness
for all eternity.

The Glorious Church cries the tears of Calvary, and multitudes respond; miracles take place. She
cries for the unhealed, and the blind cry, "I can see!" She cries for the unhealed, and deaf ears are
opened and tongues begin to speak. She cries for the unhealed, and the crippled are made to walk.
She cries, and lifeless limbs are given life. She cries the tears of Calvary, the same tears He cried
when He asked: Wilt thou be made whole? She cries to the unhealed Wilt thou be made
whole? And multitudes will be made whole, saith the Lord.

Crying the tears of Calvary, the Glorious Church will see mighty results in this her final walk, her
final hour. Nothing will be able to stop her, no discouragement can rob her. She will have His
strength every day, every night, clothed in His armor, speaking as He speaks.

The Glorious Church cries the tears of Calvary, and the angels cry with her. She cries, and the
angels work with her, bringing the harvest. She cries, and she hears the voice of the Lord coming to
her, giving her direction. She cries, and the Spirit of God makes plain paths for her feet. She cries,
and is led to more and more multitudes of the lost, the unsaved, the unhealed.

The Glorious Church walks exactly like Jesus; she is like Him. Her eyes are just like His. She
commands the way He commanded. She commands the devils to come out of the devil possessed,
and they have to come. There is no compromise in her. The truth has given her life; the truth has
set her free, and she speaks the truth without apology.

Obedient to Jesus and with the strength of Him, the Glorious Church enters the dungeons, the
prison houses of sin to bring out those captive. She dares to rescue them because she has the same
compassion He had. She recognizes how to war against darkness in high places. The Glorious
Church knows her enemy and she knows her God. Having learned how to trust God, His ways, she
is a terror to the devil on Earth today, walking right up to Lucifer and defying him. She dares resist
him and his demons, to cry out: Let that person go in the name of Jesus! The demons lose their
power. They have to obey; for no power can stand before the power of God. Demons bow before
her because she carries the greatness of Jesus, all that He brought. He brought everything needed
to defeat the kingdom of Lucifer, to destroy the powers of the devil. How wonderful is the Glorious
Church on planet Earth today!

The Master said, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do they
will, O God (Hebrews 10:7). The Bride, the Glorious Church is crying in the same voice, the same
Spirit, the same love: I have come to do thy will, Oh God!

The Glorious Church needs fear nothing; for she has the protection of the divine blood of Jesus.
Divine blood flowed in the veins of Jesus, protection against the powers of the devil. That blood
was given on Calvary for us. As Job had a hedge around him keeping the devil out until God took it
down, we have a hedge of blood around us—but ours is a hedge that will never come down. Only
willful sin can destroy that hedge. The devil cannot enter any soul that is protected by the blood of

Jesus. That soul who will not sin is safe from the devil for all time and eternity.

The Bride of Christ is not bound by man or devil, by the opinions of others. She is free as any
creature in heaven, just as free as the Son of God. She is not of the world just as He was not of the
world. Oh yes, she lives in it, but she is not a part of it; she has separated herself. No love for the
world enters her heart because the love of the Father dwells on the inside of her.

What a Glorious Church! Such a glorious sight that even heaven declares it to be so. God looks all
over heaven, at the beautiful mansions, the magnificent works He has performed up there; and
then He looks down on planet Earth to the Church, the true Church. It's glorious! He says. All that
go into the tears of Calvary have made her glorious.

The wonderful separation from the world, the great deliverance of the Bride, the holy members
that make up the Glorious Church are fantastic. She sees, she feels, she hears, she obeys just like
the Master when He was on Earth. The Glorious Church has taken His place, and she walks in His
grace. Singing songs that glorify Him, she seeks music that edifies her spirit, her life in His
presence. With her veil of dedication and consecration, she is set apart, holy; and she carries the
tears of Calvary. In carrying the tears of Calvary, the Glorious Church has every benefit of those
tears working to do His work in this final hour.

What is the membership of the Glorious Church today? We know not. We just know it is composed
of the dedicated, separated, consecrated, Spirit-filled ones who are living pure, clean lives without
spot, wrinkle or blemish. The Glorious Church is not a single denomination or congregation, but
made up of members throughout the whole Earth who have entered into the greatness of God as
the Early Church disciples did. With the tears of Calvary, they have gone on in to receive the
greatness of the Lord's love, separating themselves from the world completely.

The Bible speaks in a loud voice, so loud it makes no difference how many cry against it; the voice
of God still rings throughout the whole Earth. His voice can never be stopped or conquered; for
His Word is truth.

This saith the Lord: I'm not asking you to sacrifice in this your last hour more than I sacrificed.
I'm not asking you to love more than I love. I'm not asking you to pray more than I prayed. I'm
not asking you to fast more than I fasted. I'm not asking you to endure more persecutions than I
endured. I'm not asking you to go into deeper valleys than I walked. I'm not asking you to do any
of my work with less power than I had when I was here. My power is for you to use, oh my
people. Use my power. My strength is for you to use; my laughter is for you to use. My greatness
is for you, and I delight when I see my people with the tears of Calvary. I know that more stony
hearts will melt. I know that more and more lost will come into my Kingdom.

Look up and rejoice in all that I have given to you. And in my name you will defeat the enemy. In
my name you will command the sick to be healed and they will be healed. Multitudes and
multitudes will be delivered in this final hour. The devil possessed will be set free—multitudes and
multitudes of them.

I am moving with you and through you. I am working with you night and day so that you will
do all of my work that I desire you to do in this last hour. Be not discouraged and be not
dismayed. Tremble not at the power of Lucifer, but stand strong in the might of my power and
trample devils underfoot and rescue the perishing in this your last hour of work for me. The
midnight hour is approaching, and I am giving you insight to your limited time, saith the Lord.
Be all that I want you to be. The enemy is fighting my people like never before because he knows
what is happening and some of the mighty things that are about to happen. But be not troubled.
I am with you and I will be with you all the way, saith the Lord.
